After putting the chicken rack outside and freezing it, Tian Tian fetched some water and simply cleaned herself. After sitting in the car for a whole day, there was an unpleasant smell on her body. Tian Tian herself could not stand it, and she did not want her quilt to be stained with this smell.
After cleaning up, Tian Tian snuggled into the warm bed, closed her eyes peacefully, and soon fell asleep.
She hadn't slept in the car for a whole day and night, and had been freezing outside for such a long time. Now she could finally get a good night's sleep.
Old Mrs. Tian and her family came back from selling eggs, and found the door of their house open. At first they thought the house had been robbed, but it was not until Lin Meiyu went to Tian Tian's room and took a look that they realized Tian Tian had returned.
When Grandma Tian heard this, she quickly started to prepare dinner. A few days ago, people from their team organized a group to drill ice holes in the river to catch fish, and one fish was given to the family. Grandma Tian thought that Tian Tian and the others would be back soon, so she couldn't bear to eat the fish, so she put it in a tank and froze it.
Tian Tian came back suddenly today, and the fish in the tank haven't thawed yet, so I can't do it for the time being.
"Take it out and melt it tonight, then stew it for Tiantian tomorrow morning. I see that Tiantian is sleeping like that and she won't wake up for a while. Don't make it tonight, she hasn't woken up yet." Lin Meiyu said.
Although Tian Zhuo felt a little disappointed after hearing this, he did not show it.
He is older now and is a junior high school student. He is not as greedy as he was when he was little, or he will not show it so obviously.
He also knew that life was not easy for other people in the brigade. For example, his family could afford to send him to school and he could have eggs to eat every now and then, which was already very good. As for other things, if Old Lady Tian cooked for him, he would eat it. If not, Tian Zhuo would not say anything.
After the few people made the decision, they put the matter of stewing the fish aside. Seeing that it was around one o'clock in the afternoon, it was time to cook, so Mrs. Tian packed up and prepared to cook.
Tian Tian was still sleeping. The food they cooked was only for their family, so Old Mrs. Tian didn't care whether the food was delicious or not. She just fried a cabbage and mixed it with some cornmeal porridge, and it was a pretty good meal.
After dinner, Grandma Tian prepared to boil some mountain red peel water and sent Tian Zhuo outside to get the frozen mountain red peel.
Tian Zhuo went outside and lifted the lid of the jar. He saw several things wrapped in oil paper inside. He knew at a glance that they were the delicious food his sister brought back. He happily took the oil paper packages and went into the house, "Grandma! Look, my sister came back with the food. She put it in the jar outside."
Old Mrs. Tian was washing dishes in the pot when she saw the oil paper package. She wiped her hands clean, opened it, and saw a chicken rack wrapped inside.
"Why did your sister buy this? If you want to eat chicken for the New Year, just kill a chicken. This chicken rack is full of bones and there is nothing to eat." Old Mrs. Tian said with disdain.
"Grandma! Can I eat this chicken rack?" Tian Zhuo looked at Grandma Tian expectantly. The chicken rack covered with seasonings was very attractive to him. But Tian Zhuo, who thought he was a young man who could support his family, could not resist the delicious roasted chicken rack.
"What are you going to eat?" Old Mrs. Tian rolled her eyes at Tian Zhuo. "Let's wait until your sister wakes up. What if your sister bought this as a gift? You just wait patiently. Your sister will definitely need something for you two to eat."
"Hehe!" Tian Zhuo laughed, wrapped the chicken frame again with satisfaction, and then put it in the vat outside, praying silently in his heart that Tian Tian would wake up soon.
Tiantian slept soundly in the house. Old Mrs. Tian and the others did not disturb her. Tian Tian felt at ease at home and slept until the next morning.
The windows in her room had long been sealed by Tian Lisong, and the sunlight could not penetrate the oil paper and shine into the room. Only a little light was projected on the window.
Tian Tian opened her eyes feeling a little dazed. She looked out the window and had no idea what day it was.
After lying in bed for a while, I finally woke up. I put on my clothes, folded the quilt, opened the door and went out. Then I found that it was bright outside.
It snowed again last night. Tian Lisong and Tian Zhuo were sweeping snow in the yard. When they saw Tian Tian, they smiled and said, "You're finally awake. If you don't wake up, your grandma will go and call you."
"Dad! Little brother!" Tian Tian shouted excitedly.
"Sister!" Tian Zhuo also waved at Tian Tian excitedly, "You finally woke up. Grandma stewed fish this morning, but you didn't get up!"
This morning, Old Mrs. Tian specially stewed fish for Tian Tian, but she didn't expect that Tian Tian fell asleep during breakfast.
"Really?" Tian Tian's eyes lit up and she ran into the house to wash her hands and eat.
When Old Mrs. Tian saw that Tian Tian had woken up, she helped to take out all the food that had been heated in the pot.
"You can really sleep well! I originally wanted you to eat the freshly cooked fish, but in the end you ate the leftovers." said Old Mrs. Tian.
"It doesn't matter! The second meal is the best!" Tian Tian didn't mind at all. She picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.
Although it was leftover, Old Mrs. Tian left more than half of the meat for Tian Tian, and it was all whole fish meat.
"The fish cooked by grandma is indeed the most delicious!" Tian Tian enjoyed eating the fish.
The taste of Grandma Tian’s cooking never changes. They are all stewed with soybean paste. No matter what she cooks, there is a taste of soybean paste.
Needless to say, compared to the food cooked outside, what Grandma Tian cooked was not even as delicious as the food cooked at school the day before yesterday. But Tian Tian just liked what Grandma Tian cooked and felt that she would never get tired of it for the rest of her life.
"If it tastes good, eat more. These fish are specially reserved for you. If it's not enough, ask your father to go out and get a few more." Old Mrs. Tian couldn't stop smiling when she heard Tian Tian say that.
Lin Meiyu also laughed and said, "This fish meat was specially left for you by your grandmother. It has been frozen for more than half a month. She said she would not cook it unless you came back."
"Thank you, grandma!" Tian Tian said sweetly while chewing on a cornmeal pancake.
"Your brother and sister-in-law didn't say when they would be back?" asked Old Mrs. Tian.
"I think he should have visited my brother's father-in-law first, and then come here. My brother said he could spend the New Year at home. After the New Year, my sister-in-law will go back, and my brother will go directly to the army!"
"Your brother doesn't want to go to school anymore? He hasn't graduated yet, has he?" Lin Meiyu asked.
Tian Tian bit her biscuit and shook her head. "I'm going to do an internship in the last half of the semester. Maybe I'll go back to school to take a photo when I graduate!"
This is all what Tian Tian said based on their graduation in the previous life. As for whether it is still the case now, Tian Tian is not sure, especially since Tian Yuan’s school is a school within the military, Tian Tian has no idea.
