After eating the egg cake, the two children fell asleep without anyone coaxing them. They closed their eyes and held the candies given by Tian Tian in their mouths.
The two children lay there, laughing and stopping. Lin Meiyu then set up a table in her room again and brought the hot food in the pot to the table. This meal was originally reserved for their own family to eat in the evening, but now that Lin Meishuang and the others were here, they couldn't let them go hungry until the evening. It would be too late to cook it now, so they must make sure they had a full and good meal, after all, they came to pay their respects.
Naturally, the two protagonists, Tian Tian and Gu Zhao, could not be absent. They had finished their meal and did not have to sit at the table to accompany them, but they still had to sit on the kang and chat with them.
Tian Tian was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes while sitting there. Fortunately, Lin Meishuang and the others were very hungry. After sitting at the table, they didn't want to talk at all and just lowered their heads to eat.
They devoured the food voraciously. Tian Tian looked at the tree roots and grass roots, who were frantically putting food into their bowls like starving ghosts. They even fought with their chopsticks on the table because two of them liked the same dish. Tian Tian felt a little bad about it.
Although people at that time didn't have anything delicious to eat, when they had a banquet at noon, even if they were in a hurry to use their chopsticks, they would still pick up food and put it in their mouths before picking up the next one with their chopsticks. They would never pile all their favorite dishes into their bowls, making them as high as a mountain. It didn't look decent at all for two grown men like that.
"Can you eat slowly? You're like a starving ghost reincarnated. If you don't know, you'd think I was starving you at home!" Lin Meixia felt a little embarrassed when she saw the look on Shugen and Caogen's faces, so she hit their hands with her chopsticks.
"Why are you educating children? They came all the way here, they must be hungry now. They are grown men, so it's normal for them to eat something. Here are some tree roots and grass roots. You like this dish, right? If you like it, Second Aunt will make it for you tonight!"
Lin Meiyu didn't want to watch Lin Meixia educating the children in her house, so she went to the kitchen and brought back another plate of ribs and put them in the bowl of Tree Root and Grass Root. She also gave a piece to each of the other people at the table, and that was it.
Tian Tian looked at how they were eating. The food was so spicy and her eyes were so sleepy that she yawned slightly.
"If you are sleepy, hide behind me and take a nap for a while. I will call you after they finish eating!" Gu Zhao whispered in Tian Tian's ear.
"Then you have to help me cover it tightly!" Tian Tian could hardly open her eyes. After hearing what Gu Zhao said, she readily accepted his suggestion. She leaned on the pile of quilts behind Gu Zhao, closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.
After all, there were so many people at home, and Tian Tian couldn't sleep well. She could even hear the sound of them smacking their lips while eating in a daze.
When she heard the sound of dishes being cleared away, Tian Tian opened her eyes suddenly and woke up without Gu Zhao calling her.
She sat up straight with a business smile on her face, and she felt relieved when she saw that they had just started to clean up the dishes.
Gu Zhao was startled by Tian Tian's sudden sitting up, and then he explained to Tian Tian in a low voice, "You didn't sleep for long at all. I was sitting here for less than five minutes. They were busy eating and had no time to chat with us. They didn't even notice that you fell asleep!"
Tian Tian felt like she had slept for half an hour, but she didn't expect that she had only slept for five minutes.
