Tian Tian took two apples, washed them, and went back to the house while biting the apples. When she got back to the house, she saw that except for Tian Zhuo's half orange, the rest of Tian Yuan and Lin Meiyu's oranges were not eaten.
Tian Tian was inexplicably angry. "Just eat if I tell you two to. Why are you being so reluctant? You can't eat enough anyway. What's wrong with trying one more or one less?"
"Grandma! Let's eat apples!" Tian Tian said as she stuffed the other apple in her hand into Grandma Tian's hand.
The old lady in the apple field is reluctant to eat the good apples. Every year, she keeps the apples until early spring. Some of the apples are rotten and can no longer be kept. Only then will she take the apples out to eat. She also makes various canned apples and canned plows.
Old Mrs. Tian was also very happy to see the apple. To be honest, there were not many apples and pears in her family, so there was only a small earthen basket. There were many people in the family, and if it was divided equally among everyone, they would not be able to eat many.
Old Mrs. Tian usually willingly gave these things to her sons and grandchildren, but she herself was reluctant to touch a single bite.
Now that Tian Tian had washed the apple and handed it to his mouth, Old Mrs. Tian didn't bother to be polite with Tian Tian and started to chew the apple with a crunching sound.
Maybe what Tian Tian said just now did make sense. Seeing that Tian Tian and Old Lady Tian were happily eating apples, the two of them ate half of the orange and put the remaining four orange slices on a plate for Tian Lisong and Tian Lilin to eat.
When they came back in the evening, Tian Tian was the first to say in front of everyone that they had each eaten two orange halves. Old Mrs. Tian didn't say anything, so Tian Lisong and Tian Lilin ate all the oranges.
"This thing is not as delicious as oranges. The skin looks very thick and old, and it tastes a bit bitter after eating." Tian Lisong gave his evaluation after eating the orange.
"I also feel that this thing is sour. My throat feels sour after eating it."
"Alright!" Lin Meiyu couldn't bear to watch it any longer. "You two are just picky. You couldn't even buy these oranges if you wanted to, and now you're still being picky. If you have the ability, buy us fruits that taste better than oranges so that our whole family can have enough to eat at once."
Tian Tian smiled as she ate frozen pears with Old Lady Tian, and listened to their conversation without saying a word.
The next morning, Tian Tian was rushed by Old Lady Tian to take the curtain to Gu Zhao.
Gu Zhao had just finished his meal at home, and was a little surprised to see Tian Tian. "Why are you here? My grandpa is not at home? Can't I? I just came from my grandpa's place."
Tian Tian walked into the yard and handed the curtain to Gu Zhao, "This is for you! It's a thank you gift for the two oranges yesterday!"
Gu Zhao looked at the curtain and was about to speak, but Tian Tian quickly stuffed the curtain into his hand.
Gu Zhao held the curtain and smiled, "I didn't mean to refuse. I wanted to learn how to weave a curtain myself recently, and then you brought it to me, which was just in time."
Tian Tian was relieved to hear that Gu Zhao accepted it. "It's better to just accept it. If my grandma saw me taking the curtain back, she would definitely scold me."
"Did you eat the orange yesterday?" Gu Zhao suddenly asked.
"I ate it!" Tian Tian didn't know why the topic changed so quickly.
"Wait here for a moment, I'll go put up the curtain." Gu Zhao said as he took the curtain and went into the house.
Tian Tian sat on a wooden block nearby without knowing what was going on. She soon came out of the house with a bright yellow orange in her hand. "Please eat another orange with me! Oranges are too cold. I feel uncomfortable eating a whole one by myself. I'm afraid they won't be fresh after being stored for a long time. My grandpa and his family don't like to eat cold things when they are old. It's just right for you to come and help me eat some."
When Tian Tian heard what Gu Zhao said, she knew that he was probably going to give the orange to her, but she was worried that she would not accept it, so she made an excuse that she couldn't eat too many cold things. She could obviously share it with Gu Xingshu and Song Zhengang. It wouldn't be too much for two people to share it in half, and she could also blanch it in hot water before eating.
Tian Tian shook her head. "I don't want it. I ate oranges yesterday. This orange is very expensive. Our curtains are not worth much. We took advantage of you by taking two oranges yesterday. I can't eat your food anymore. You can scald the oranges with hot water, or go and share an orange with Grandpa Gu and Uncle Song."
After saying that, Tian Tian took a step back and said, "Thank you for the oranges yesterday. I'm going home first! I'm going up the mountain with my brother today, so I won't go to study. Please tell Grandpa Gu for me."
After saying this, Tian Tian turned and ran away.
Today Tian Lisong and Tian Lilin are going up the mountain to cut Ula grass. The remaining Ula grass mattresses at home have been used, so they will go up the mountain today to get some more.
It just so happened that Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo said they wanted to go up the mountain to find some mountain sorrel covered in snow to eat. Tian Tian also wanted to eat some, and she had been sick before and had been confined at home, so she said she wanted to go with them.
After returning home, Lin Meiyu found a particularly thick piece of clothing from somewhere. It was too big for Tian Tian to wear. The clothing was also very dirty, with cobwebs and straw on it.
Although Lin Meiyu had specially cleaned and patted Tian Tian's clothes, Tian Tian could still smell a dusty smell when she wore them.
Tian Tian felt a little uncomfortable and didn't want to wear this dress, but Lin Meiyu forced her to put it on, saying that this dress was warm and could at least block some of the wind.
Tian Tian fell ill some time ago, and now she didn't dare to disobey Lin Meiyu's words, so she had to put on the clothes obediently, and let Lin Meiyu tie a scarf around her, put on a hat, earmuffs, a mask, and gloves.
After she was fully armed, Lin Meiyu felt at ease letting her go up the mountain with Tian Lisong and the others.
Even Tian Zhuo was wrapped by Lin Meiyu like a ball.
After getting dressed, everyone went up the mountain together. Today they were climbing a big mountain, and the first few steps were relatively gentle, not as steep as the small hills, so Tian Tian didn't have to find it that difficult to climb at the beginning. Although the clothes she wore were heavy and relatively loose, they did not hinder Tian Tian's movements.
Tian Zhuo, who was wearing thicker clothes, was also led by Tian Yuan and did not fall behind.
As soon as the two adults, Tian Lisong and Tian Lilin, went straight to the mountain hollow as soon as they reached the top. They often went to this mountain and knew where the Ula grass grew, so they didn't let Tian Tian and the others follow them. The mountain hollow was actually quite dangerous and it was easy to step into a snow pit if you were not careful.
