"Then let's not go to places where the sun shines. There aren't many shady places in the mountains. Let's go there to see if there are any mushrooms. Anyway, we don't have much work to do now and we might as well just sit at home doing nothing." Tian Tian said.
Shen Lingling thought about it and decided that she really wanted to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms, and there was nothing else to do at home at the moment, so she nodded and agreed.
"Are you going back then?" Shen Lingling watched Tian Tian stand up and prepare to leave.
"I have to leave. It's getting late and I have to go home to help my grandma cook." Tian Tian said.
She had stayed at Shen Lingling's house for the entire afternoon. It was getting late, so she had to go back early to help Old Mrs. Tian.
"Then take this bag of cakes I brought you back. I brought it especially for you, so you are not allowed to refuse." Shen Lingling ran to the east room again and brought back two more bags of cakes and handed them to Tian Tian.
Tian Tian opened her mouth to speak, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Shen Lingling, "You are not allowed to refuse. I brought this back from Beijing especially for you. It's a token of my love. If you don't want it, it means you don't consider me a friend, and I won't play with you anymore."
Tian Tian originally didn't intend to take it. After all, the money and the ticket were brought back from Beijing, and she was embarrassed to ask for it.
But after hearing what Shen Lingling said, Tian Tian couldn't refuse, so she reached out and took the bag of cakes from Shen Lingling's hand, "Then I won't be polite to you. If I buy something for you in the future, you are not allowed to refuse me."
"Definitely not! By the way, you give this package to Tian Yun. I won't go out today. You should finish eating the pastries as soon as possible. I heard from them that this snack may not be kept for a few days. I have been on the road since I came back from Beijing. You should eat it as soon as possible. It would be a pity if it goes bad." Shen Lingling handed another package of pastries to Tian Tian.
"Okay! I got it. I'll leave first." After saying goodbye to Shen Lingling, Tian Tian took the pastries to Tian Yun's house and gave the package of pastries to Tian Yun.
Tian Yun looked at the cakes and asked in surprise: "Lingling is back? When did she come back? How come I didn't know?"
"She came back this morning. I happened to see her when I went to wash clothes by the river. I went to talk to her in the afternoon. She asked me to bring this pastry to you specially. She brought it back from Beijing. She also said that if we didn't accept it, we would no longer consider her a friend." Tian Tian said.
Tian Yun opened the wax paper outside the cake and smelled it. "This cake is not cheap, where did she get the money to buy it?"
"Fang Siwen paid for it because Shen Lingling really wanted us to try these snacks. That's why Fang Siwen spent his money." Tian Tian said.
"Why bother?" Tian Yun was a little unhappy and put the snacks aside. "She must feel bad for asking Fang Siwen about this. It's just a bag of snacks. If she can't eat it, then she can't eat it. She finally went to Beijing, she should have fun."
"She just wants us to have a taste of it. When you see her, don't say this to her, otherwise she will feel even more upset. She didn't want to ask Fang Siwen about this in the first place, and then she bought it with great difficulty, but we two don't appreciate it. If it were me, I would be so sad." Tian Tian quickly stopped Tian Yun from saying anything.
"When you see Lingling, you can happily praise her for the deliciousness of this snack. She will definitely be very happy to hear that. Don't make her sad for nothing."
Tian Yun took another look at the cakes on the kang, took them back and wrapped them up carefully, "Why didn't you tell me before you went to look for Lingling? I could have gone to see her, too."
"I didn't think about it at the time. Mainly because I had just woken up from a nap and my mind was still hazy." Tian Tian felt a little guilty.
Tian Yun didn't care. "Then I'll go see her tomorrow and talk to her too."
Tian Tian felt even more embarrassed after hearing this. "We two are planning to go to the mountain to pick wild vegetables tomorrow. I was just about to ask you, do you want to go with us?"
"Okay!" Tian Yun agreed immediately.
Tian Tian also breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I will come to see you with Lingling tomorrow morning, and I will go back first."
After saying that, Tian Tian stood up from the kang and prepared to go home. She took two steps towards the door and suddenly remembered something. She turned to Tian Yun and said, "Oh, Lingling said that her snack can't be kept for too long. You should finish the snack in the next two days. She spent a lot of money on it. It would be a pity if it goes bad."
"Okay! I understand."
After telling Tian Yun everything, Tian Tian went home.
Old Mrs. Tian had already picked all the vegetables at home. When she saw Tian Tian coming back, she greeted her, "You're back."
"I'm back." Tian Tian walked into the yard cheerfully carrying things.
Old Mrs. Tian noticed what Tian Tian was holding, "What are you holding?"
"Oh!" Tian Tian raised her hand to show the snack in her hand to Old Lady Tian, "These are the pastries that Lingling brought me from Beijing. She bought one each for me and Sister Tian Yun."
Before Old Lady Tian could say anything, Chen Guihua, who was cooking in the kitchen, poked her head out and said, "Something from Beijing?!"
She hurriedly wiped her hands on her apron, excitedly came over to take the oil-paper package from Tian Tian's hand, and carefully held it in front of her eyes, "This is actually something from Beijing. Look at this big city, it's really different from our small county. There's a piece of red paper on it, and there are words written on the paper."
People at that time had a natural awe for the capital. They found every blade of grass and every needle and thread from Beijing very rare, not to mention such a big bag of snacks.
"What are you talking about?" Lin Meiyu from the kitchen also came out and asked.
"They said this thing was brought by Lingling from Beijing to our Tiantian." Chen Guihua simply explained to Lin Meiyu.
After hearing this, Lin Meiyu also came forward to study this snack with Chen Guihua.
"I don't know what the Beijing dim sum tastes like, but it must be much better than the ones sold in our supply and marketing cooperative." Chen Guihua studied the thing in her hand intently, as if she could see what the dim sum inside looked like through the thick oil paper.
"What does it taste like? You'll know if you try it yourself tonight." Tian Tian said with a smile.
Chen Guihua’s eyes suddenly widened, and she threw the oil paper bag into Tian Tian’s arms as if it were a hot potato.
"What do you want to taste? I don't want to taste it. What's the point of me eating what Lingling brought you?" Chen Guihua said.
