The room they originally lived in in the old house was also vacant. Thinking that Tian Yuan was not young anymore, they cleaned up the room and prepared for Tian Yuan to move in.
Tian Yuan had known about this matter for a long time, so he was not surprised. Now that he had his own room, he took his things back to his room, washed up briefly, and went to bed.
I slept particularly soundly today. I woke up slowly when it was bright outside. I could hear the brothers Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo playing and chatting outside, as well as the voices of Lin Meiyu and Chen Guihua talking.
Tian Tian folded the quilt and went to get some water to wash her face, then she saw four hens flying around in the yard. Lin Meiyu and Chen Guihua were still standing in the yard picking vegetables, while Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo were catching insects to feed the chickens.
Last night, Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo went out to play together. Tian Zhuo only found out that his sister was back after he came back at night, but Tian Tian was asleep at that time, so Tian Zhuo didn't see his sister either.
When Tian Zhuo saw Tian Tian coming out that morning, he immediately dropped the insect he had just caught and ran towards Tian Tian with his fangs and claws bared, "Sister!"
Tian Tian looked at his hands that had caught the bug and hid aside in disgust, "You two should wash your hands quickly. I've brought you some delicious food. Go share it with grandma!"
Although Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo are grown up now, they are still teenagers after all. When they know there is something delicious, they can't help themselves.
Hearing this, Tian Mu and Tian Zhuo dropped what they were holding and went into the house to find Old Mrs. Tian.
"Mom! Second Aunt! Where did the chicken in this yard come from?" Tian Tian pressed the water while looking at the chicken flying around in the yard.
Lin Meiyu and Chen Guihua, who were talking, turned around and smiled when they heard Tian Tian's voice, "You and your elder brother are back, so I thought I'd make something delicious. You can't spend a whole year studying outside and then come back without anything delicious to eat. So I brought you a hen from home."
Tian Tian was very surprised. "Why did you bring the chicken? I have enough food and clothes at school. It doesn't matter what I eat."
This chicken is very important at this time, and it is not called Chicken Butt Bank for nothing.
Moreover, Chen Guihua has always been careful, so it is impossible for her to take out such a fat chicken for nothing. Even if she wanted to eat it, Chen Guihua would only cook it for herself.
"We just moved in not long ago and have a nest of chicks. We can only raise three at home anyway, and the extra ones will be eaten. And since you're back, I'll cook some for you." Chen Guihua said brightly. Tian Tian was a little surprised when she looked at Chen Guihua. Before, Chen Guihua would avoid things whenever she could when she encountered them at home, and would listen to everyone's orders and try to take advantage of even the smallest benefits. Unexpectedly, after she went out to set up her own business, she seemed to be a lot more generous and even brought back a chicken.
"Don't be polite to your second aunt. She didn't get this chicken for free. She heard that you brought her something, so she came here eagerly to exchange the chicken for something." Lin Meiyu said with a smile.
"Then I'm getting a good deal. The chicken that Second Aunt sent me is much more valuable than the things I brought back." Tian Tian said with a smile.
Tian Tian lowered her head and quickly washed up. After taking care of her physiological problems, she went into the house to help Old Mrs. Tian with her work.
Seeing Grandma Tian putting some rice grains into the stubble, counting them one by one, Tian Tian felt a little distressed, "Grandma! Please put more rice in. We can't eat it once a year. It's not easy for the family to get together again. We have rice and meat at home. Let everyone enjoy it and have a good meal."
Tian Yuan happened to come in with firewood at this time. Hearing what Tian Tian said, he smiled and said, "Grandma! Let's listen to Tian Tian today and make a meal of pure rice. You don't have to worry about not having enough rice. I still have some national food coupons in my hand. If you can't bear to part with it, I will use the food coupons to exchange for some rice after you finish eating."
Their school uses the kind of military food coupons that are used nationwide. These food coupons are not location-specific and can be used in any province.
"Yes, grandma! You don't have to live so frugally in the future. Our school gives a lot of scholarships every month, and I can't spend much at school. Not only will I not spend it all in a month, but I can save some. Even the money I brought to school at the beginning of the semester has not been spent yet. You don't have to worry about my schooling in the future." Tian Tian said.
"It's not that I'm reluctant to cook dry rice for you. I've just been cooking double-grain rice this way for so many years, and I'm used to it. But I'm used to the old days, and when I suddenly see so much rice, I'll still cook it the same way as before." Tian Tian saved a lot of rice this time and brought back 30 kilograms of rice. It was too heavy for her to carry, so she divided it into two halves, and Tian Yuan helped her carry one half.
Old Mrs. Tian’s family rarely needs so much rice. Normally, when they distribute food, they just give a few pounds and the people in the family just taste it.
The food prepared is usually not enough for one family, so they would add some corn bran to make rice so that everyone can eat.
After saying this, Old Mrs. Tian added a handful of rice, washed it clean and poured it into the pot.
Then I boiled some water and went outside to catch the chicken and slaughtered it. After bleeding it and plucking its feathers, I cleaned it and took out its internal organs. I chopped up the rest and stewed it in the pot.
As for the offal and chicken blood, chop the offal into pieces and pour them into the chicken blood, then add seasonings and pour it into the pot to make a chicken blood paste.
After all the busy work, it was already dawn by the time they finished their meal.
The smell of stewed chicken spread outside the yard. Aunt Huang from next door came out holding Zhang Yan. Seeing Tian Tian, she joked, "I was wondering why you guys are stewing meat today when it's not a festival. It turns out your eldest grandson and granddaughter are back."
"My grandma felt sorry for me because I didn't eat well outside, so she wanted to make me something delicious to satisfy my cravings and nourish my brain."
"Okay, I won't disturb you while you're eating. My Xiaoyan is anxious to go to the river to play, and I have to keep an eye on her!" Aunt Huang saw Zhang Yan in her arms getting restless and threatening to go to the Tian family, so she quickly hugged her and prepared to take her to the river to prevent her from making a fuss.
After saying this, Aunt Huang quickly picked up Zhang Yan and left.
Tian Tian also went into the house to eat.
All members of the Tian family are here today. It is rare to have so many people sitting at one table. It is lively and everyone enjoys their meal.
In addition, the chickens that Chen Guihua sent were only a few months old, and the meat was at its most tender, so it tasted delicious to everyone.
