But she didn't expect that Zhang Yan was really so smart, she was simply a genius.
The day before yesterday, Zhang Yan was given a few questions of the same type but with slight differences, and Zhang Yan answered them quickly.
After Zhang Yan established her idea for answering questions, all other questions were no longer a problem for her. She was able to apply what she had learned to other questions quickly and solved all the other questions.
Tian Tian said that there was nothing she could teach her, as she was not a genius, nor the kind of person who could figure out how to do a question after just a few moments.
The fact that she could get to where she is today and be admitted to university was entirely due to her learning experiences in her two lives. An ordinary person like her actually had no way of teaching a genius like Zhang Yan anything, so she could only share her understanding with Zhang Yan.
However, the content for the fourth grade was really simple. Zhang Yan asked Tian Tian a few more questions, and Tian Tian answered them all smoothly.
It was already past nine o'clock at this time, and people outside came in one after another. Lin Meiyu was afraid that Tian Tian would continue to stay in the house, so she came over and called Tian Tian. Zhang Yan was also very obedient and sensible. She put away the textbook in her hand and took the textbook back home.
Tian Tian changed into a set of clean and tidy clothes, simply put some powder on her face, drew her eyebrows, put on lipstick, and went out to be a smiling decoration. She smiled at everyone she met.
Lin Meiyu and her friends were busy in the kitchen, frying pot after pot of food and putting them in large basins, then serving them on plates and placing them on the tables.
They didn't cook much in the morning because they were busy, so Tian Tian didn't eat well in the morning. Seeing the fragrance in the yard, she couldn't control her saliva. Seeing that the soup was covered with a lid and was taken outside the kitchen, Tian Tian's eyes lit up, and she went over to open the lid and took a deep breath.
She wanted to go back inside and get a bowl to serve the soup, but when Lin Meiyu saw Tian Tian holding the bowl, she went up to hit Tian Tian's hand and snatched the bowl back. "You kid, the guests haven't even had any drinks yet, but you've already eaten. Okay, go out and greet the guests, don't waste time in the kitchen!"
Tian Tian shrank her hands, feeling a little aggrieved, "I'm hungry, can't I eat a bite first? I didn't eat well this morning!"
"What are you eating? Why don't you be more careful when you have time to eat? The only thing you care about is eating!" Lin Meiyu said angrily.
Chen Guihua took the time to give Tian Tian a fried fruit and said, "Go out and fill your stomach first. We'll eat after they've finished eating!"
Tian Tian was still a little reluctant to give up the soup with cold herbs. The soup with cold herbs was very popular at the banquet. Tian Tian went to every banquet just to drink this soup to cool down the body. She was often only given a small bowl and couldn't drink more if she wanted to. It was not easy to have a wedding at home, and if she couldn't even drink the soup with cold herbs to her heart's content, Tian Tian felt that she was missing out.
"Mom, please leave me some soup. I want to drink it when the time comes!"
The aunts who came to help all laughed when they heard this.
"Tian Tian, you haven't grown up yet, you just want to eat!"
"We just got married, so we haven't grown up yet. This won't happen after we have a baby!"
"Okay, I've reserved some for you in advance, so go out and entertain the guests!" Meiyu has long known that Tiantian likes to drink soup. It's not easy for her to make it at home, so how could she not reserve a few bowls for Tian Tian.
This offal soup is not usually this good. The only way they could get all the ingredients together was to buy a pig from the team and kill it. The pig's offal was all at home, and it was not easy to cook many dishes, so they had to make offal soup.
Tian Tian was happy then. She went up to Lin Meiyu and Old Lady Tian and kissed them, then ran out happily.
"Oh my, you two mother and daughter have such a good relationship!" an aunt said enviously.
"My daughter doesn't say a word to me when she sees me, let alone kiss me. She usually doesn't even want to sit next to me!"
"That's right. It's said that a daughter is a mother's little cotton-padded jacket. How can you kiss me again if you have such a big son?"
Those who can come to help must have a good relationship with her family. We won't say anything to spoil the fun of Old Lady Tian and Lin Meiyu. We will just praise them.
With the soup in front of her, the smile on Tiantian's face became more genuine. When everyone at the table was almost done, they started to put the dishes on the table.
At that time, everyone's family conditions were still very poor, and it was rare to have a feast. In addition, the feast they prepared at home was really good. Basically, there was only one dish, and everyone scrambled for it as soon as it was on the table, and soon all the food was gone.
Tian Tian and Gu Zhao were also very hungry, but as the hosts, they could not sit at the table to eat. They had to wait until everyone had almost finished eating before it was their turn. They also had to help check if there was anything missing on the table, such as chopsticks and paper. If there was anything missing, they had to run errands for them.
When everyone had almost finished eating and several tables were empty, they cleaned up the tables where the food had been eaten, served two new tables, and ate together.
There was a table with food, one table was occupied by the Tian family, and another table was occupied by the aunts who came to help. Lin Meiyu had specially reserved a large bowl of bean curd soup for Tian Tian, and it was now placed in front of Tian Tian. The remaining bean curd soup was enough for everyone to have a bowl.
"I'll give you this bowl!" Gu Zhao put the offal soup in front of him in front of Tian Tian.
"Don't you like to drink soup with vegetables? I'll give this bowl to the child!" An aunt at the next table handed her bowl of soup with vegetables to Tian Tian.
"No, Auntie, this is enough for me. My mother left me a big bowl of it, and Gu Zhao also gave me some cooling soup. I can't finish it. You can keep it!" Tian Tian refused.
It was a rare opportunity for them to have a drink of the soup, and Tian Tian didn't want to take away their share.
After hearing what Tian Tian said, the aunt looked at Gu Zhao jokingly and said, "Oh, I didn't realize this young man loves his wife so much!"
Everyone just smiled and focused on eating. After all, they had been helping with the work for the whole morning and were quite hungry.
After dinner, there are still so many tables and dishes waiting to be washed in the yard, which is another lot of work.
The food cooked by Li Meiyu and her friends today was really delicious, although many of them were just vegetables that were available in their own garden, such as bok choy, beans, eggplants, and tomatoes, which can actually be eaten in their own garden. But the deliciousness lies in these dishes, as a lot of pork was put in all of them.
The more oil there is in a dish, the more delicious it will be, especially now that everyone is generally short of oil and water, the food will taste more delicious.
Tian Tian especially likes to drink this offal soup. Although there is a little taste of offal in the soup, it is this taste that makes the offal soup so special.
This big bowl, plus Gu Zhao's portion of vegetable soup, was quite a large portion. After Tian Tian drank these two bowls and ate a few mouthfuls of beans, her stomach was already full, and she couldn't eat a single bite of the rest of the food.
"It's a good opportunity for you to clean up the dishes on the other tables and help digest the food!" Lin Meiyu said when she saw that the other tables were empty.
Tian Tian was not unwilling, as he was working for his family and it was because of him, so he happily went over to clean up the food on the table. The food had been eaten up very quickly, firstly because everyone had almost finished their meal, and secondly, after finishing their meal, they all packed up their food and took it home, so there was only a little soup left on the table. Tian Tian put all the soup into a plate and then threw it into the chicken trough. Immediately, a group of chickens came over to eat.
After waiting for Gu Zhao to finish his meal and come over to help, Tian Tian and the others cleaned up all the dishes and chopsticks on the table and put them in a large wooden basin. They also swept all the garbage on the table together and threw them aside.
After they finished their meal, they followed Tiantian to clean up and quickly cleared the table. They also took two large basins full of plates and bowls and put them under the well to draw water for washing.
There were still a lot of things to be cleaned up in the house, so the aunts went in to clean up. There were two large basins of dishes left. Tian Tian, Gu Zhao, Lin Meiyu, and Chen Guihua each took a small stool and sat beside them to wash the dishes.
The aunties in the kitchen finished cleaning up and came out to say hello to Lin Meiyu and were about to go back. Lin Meiyu hurriedly wiped her hands on her apron and stopped them.
"We've left a lot of food for you. You can take some home, otherwise we won't be able to finish so much food. It's such a pity if it goes bad in the hot summer!" Lin Meiyu went into the house to bring them some food.
They verbally refused to see Lin Meiyu twice, but when she insisted, they didn't say anything and went into the house to serve the dishes with Lin Meiyu.
This is their unwritten rule. These aunts come to help them without asking for a penny, and they cannot let the aunts go back empty-handed after a tiring day.
Although the food at home was leftover, they were all good food that no one had touched. They were also clean, and there was so much meat and oil in them. They were good things that many families couldn't even eat during the Chinese New Year. Taking them back home could allow them to have another meal or two, which could be considered an improvement in their food.
Each of them took two large bowls full of dishes home. After Tian Tian and the others washed the two large basins of dishes, they were so tired that they could not straighten their backs.
Tian Tian stood up and straightened her back with difficulty, "Mom! Is there no one coming to my grandma's house today?"
