The chicken blood is used together with chicken offal to make a large bowl of chicken blood paste.
In the morning, Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo knew that they would have stewed chicken for lunch, so they refused to take any vegetables with them. Each of them put a cornmeal pancake in their bag and ran away.
It was a rare occasion for the family to eat meat, and the two children could not go without it, so Old Mrs. Tian put stewed potatoes with chicken and chicken blood porridge in the lunch boxes that they left in the morning, and asked Tian Tian to deliver them to Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo.
The two teams were not far from each other. Tian Tian carried the hot lunch box to Tian Mu's school.
The school was not strictly managed at that time, and there were no security guards or anything like that. Tian Tian easily entered the school with her lunch box. There were not many classrooms in the elementary school. Tian Tian saw Tian Zhuo and the others through the window and waved to them to come out.
The other children had already eaten. Tian Mu was worried that Old Lady Tian would not bring them lunch at noon, but he was also unwilling to just eat cornmeal cakes.
When Tian Mu saw Tian Tian standing outside with a lunch box, his eyes lit up and he pulled Tian Zhuo and ran out, "Sister! You finally came!"
As soon as he got close to Tian Tian, Tian Mu smelled the scent of chicken and immediately looked at the lunch box in Tian Tian's hand eagerly.
"You two go to the classroom and get the cornmeal pancakes!" As soon as Tian Tian finished speaking, the two of them ran into the house to get the cornmeal pancakes.
Tian Tian greeted the teacher, took the two of them to the back of the school, found a random stone, and let them eat.
Nowadays, family conditions are not good and people may not be able to afford to eat meat once a year. If Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo eat meat in the classroom, other children may not feel good about it.
Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo are not very young, so it doesn’t matter where they eat, as long as they can eat delicious food.
The two of them sat on the rocks, holding chicken and potatoes in one hand and holding a cornmeal cake with the other hand to dip it in the chicken blood paste and eat it.
Tian Tian simply opened the lid of the lunch box, turned around to find a place to put it, and when she turned back she saw the two of them eating happily.
Before Tian Tian could stop them, the two of them started fighting.
Tian Tian watched them eating meat and sucking their fingers, with an expression on their faces that was hard to describe.
They are considered a very clean family in the team, but Tian Zhuo and his friends are still a little dirty. For example, they sometimes forget to wash their hands after eating. They also like to eat with their hands and suck their fingers, which makes it easy for bugs to enter their stomachs.
Tian Tian thought that the pagoda candy should be available by now. When she goes to the county town to study, she can go and see if the pharmacy sells it. Then everyone in the family can eat one.
She had to eat one too. She felt her stomach was rumbling and suspected there were bugs in it.
"Sister! You eat too!" Tian Zhuo raised a chicken drumstick and handed it to Tian Tian with great sisterly affection.
Although Tian Tian hadn't eaten and felt a little hungry, she looked at Tian Zhuo's fingers that had been sucked clean, and thought that the fingers were covered with saliva, so she absolutely couldn't eat.
"You guys eat, I'll go home to eat later. Mom and the others are waiting for me at home." Tian Tian refused tactfully.
After hearing this, Tian Zhuo took the chicken leg back and ate it himself.
By the time they finished their meal, both of their faces were covered in grease.
Tian Tian packed up the lunch box and said, "Is there any water in your school? I'll wash your faces for you two."
There was a well behind their school. Tian Mu pulled Tian Tian over there. Tian Tian pumped water for them. They washed their faces by themselves. After washing, they ran back to the classroom. Tian Tian also went home with her lunch box.
As soon as Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo entered the classroom, they were surrounded by the children. Their noses were very sharp, and everyone smelled the smell of chicken as soon as they came in.
"Tian Mu! Why do you all smell like meat? Did you secretly go out to eat chicken?"
"Look, there's still oil on Tian Mu's clothes. They must have sneaked out to eat meat!"
"I was wondering why they didn't eat in the classroom. So they went out to eat something delicious?"
"What does the meat you eat taste like? They all say that the meat is delicious, but I haven't eaten it yet."
“This meat smells so good!”
"Go away! What's wrong with me eating some? After the spring planting, my grandma wanted to replenish my body with my dad and others, so she killed a chicken for my grandson to have a bite. What's wrong with that? You talk as if your family doesn't eat meat." Tian Mu was too impatient to argue with them, so he pushed them away and pulled Tian Zhuo back into the house.
There were also people who had never eaten meat since childhood, so they lay behind Tian Zhuo and sniffed hard.
Tian Zhuo listened to the continuous breathing sounds coming from behind. He didn't eat in the classroom just now, otherwise he would be embarrassed to eat surrounded by so many people.
At home, Old Mrs. Tian and Lin Meiyu were waiting for Tian Tian to come back for dinner. After dinner, everyone went back to the house to take a nap.
In the afternoon, Tian Tian went to the river to catch crickets. Lin Meiyu and the others finally found some time, and they all went up the mountain with Grandma Tian to pick wild vegetables.
Tian Tian soaked in the river for an entire afternoon and caught a lot of crickets. When she returned home in the evening, she found that Chen Guihua had started to grab a handful of mao ke again. While carving the mao ke, she was talking about the gossip she had just heard that day.
"I heard that Zhou Ni's husband passed away. He had been coughing for several months. He suddenly started coughing up blood two days ago. Last night, he vomited blood and died for no apparent reason. I heard that he vomited a lot of blood. The bed was blood red and the quilt was soaked with blood!"
Tian Tian immediately pricked up her ears, went downstairs to get a handful of peanuts, and jumped onto the kang to listen to their gossip.
"Is it true? It's not as mysterious as you say. Zhou Ni gave birth last month, and her husband came to announce the good news, didn't he? I saw that he was in good health."
After Zhou Nier gave birth to her husband, she rode a bicycle back to tell the Zhou family the good news. Although Zhou Nier's mother didn't say anything after hearing it, she saw that the husband was in good health at that time, and he didn't say he was tired after riding from the county town to here. How could he suddenly die?
"Really! When Niu Laosi went to the county town, he heard about it from others. He said it was a very mysterious thing. All of Zhou Ni and her neighbors went to see it. It was a very tragic death."
