"We'll each eat one, and Tian Tian, you can keep the rest for daytime!" After hearing what Tian Tian said, Gu Zhao took out two and put them on his and Tian Zhuo's plates.
After they finished breakfast, Gu Zhao went to work. Tian Zhuo washed the dishes and went to read. Tian Tian also took out the textbooks and started preparing lessons.
Their school will start after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and there are only a few days left. Tian Tian was so bored watching TV at home some time ago that she felt her brain was going crazy. Anyway, school is about to start now, and these lesson plans will have to be written sooner or later, so she might as well write more now.
If you don't use your brain for a long time, it will become rusty. It took Tian Tian a long time to officially enter the state of a teacher.
Tian Tian was concentrating on writing the lesson plan, thinking about the teaching plan for the next semester.
Although their English exams are still mainly based on test papers, Tian Tian wants them to have the ability to express themselves in English. Therefore, Tian Tian’s teaching is not all based on what is in the textbook. Occasionally, some knowledge will be interspersed, and this knowledge requires Tian Tian to master it proficiently.
So Tian Tian is actually very satisfied with herself. Her current job as a teacher pays well, and it is not as tiring and stressful as it will be in the future. What is important is that it allows Tian Tian to keep learning, keep reading, and constantly enrich herself.
Of course, it may also be because there were no mobile phones at that time, so Tian Tian couldn’t just sit there and play with her phone when she got home. She could only find various ways to pass the time, and reading was a good way.
Tian Zhuo finished reading a book and came out to get some water. He saw Tian Tian sitting at the table in front of the window, concentrating on writing something. He was a little curious, so he took a look from a distance and found that the page of the notebook was the page of the lesson plan. Then he felt at ease to go over and take a look.
"So this is what the teacher's lesson plan looks like?" Tian Zhuo has always been curious about what teachers' lesson plans look like. Now it turns out to be like this.
"You gave me a big scare!" Frightened Tian Tian glared at Tian Zhuo in annoyance.
Tian Zhuo smiled at Tian Tian and looked at the calendar. "The Lantern Festival is in two days. Should we shake some Lantern Festival dumplings?"
As long as their family has the conditions, they will make Yuanxiao and eat them on Mid-Autumn Festival, so Tian Zhuo and Tian Tian both make Yuanxiao.
"I see we have some black sesame seeds at home, and some walnuts that your mother sent you before the New Year. Let's smash these black sesame seeds and walnuts, mix them together, and make some Yuanxiao for yourself!" Tian Zhuo said.
"It's up to you. If you want to do it, just do it. But don't make too much. The three of us can't eat too much!" Tian Tian said.
In fact, none of them have a particular liking for Yuanxiao. Maybe their lives were a bit hard before and they couldn’t eat sweets all year round, so when the Lantern Festival comes, they can eat a few more Yuanxiao. However, Yuanxiao is too greasy and you can’t eat it after a few bites.
Tian Tian can only eat six or seven at most.
"Let me watch and do it. If it doesn't work, you can knead some more flour and wrap the remaining walnut kernels into sugar triangles!" Tian Zhuo said.
There are really a lot of walnuts in Tian Tian's house. Originally, Tian Tian could crack a few walnuts every day and eat the walnut kernels. But later, the walnut skins were too hard, and Tian Tian got impatient with cracking them and stopped eating them.
There is still a lot left now, and if you don't finish it quickly, the walnuts will taste bad.
"Sure, you decide. I'll be there to help you!" Tian Tian said.
"Then help me crack the walnuts later!" Tian Zhuo did it right away. She went to the kitchen where there was a lot of food piled up and took out the walnuts and hazelnuts that her mother had sent to her last fall. She planned to eat them all.
Otherwise, the kitchen would be too crowded, especially before the Chinese New Year, when Tian Tian and Tian Zhuo's units distributed a lot of rice, flour, grain and oil, all of which were piled up in the kitchen. They have not been used up yet, and there are a lot of food left, big and small, that Gu Zhao, Ge Huiyun and others bought for the pregnant Tian Tian.
In addition, my family also sends things here every now and then. They have no shortage of food at home now, including dry things like various dried vegetables, wet things like bird's nests, dry food and barley cakes, as well as canned malted milk in syrup to nourish the body, and many other things.
After all, Tian Tian was alone, and she couldn't eat much of these things. Tian Zhuo used to like them very much, but later there were too many of them and he couldn't digest them by himself. In the end, he couldn't eat any more of them, so all these delicious foods could only be piled aside.
Tian Zhuo brought all the hazelnuts and walnut kernels to the living room. Tian Tian put down the lesson plan in her hand and ran over to help Tian Zhuo crack the walnuts. Unexpectedly, Tian Zhuo gave the hazelnuts to Tian Tian because hazelnuts have thin shells and are easier to crack than walnuts.
These walnuts are all wild walnuts with thick skins and small kernels. It is very difficult for Tian Zhuo to crack a walnut, let alone Tian Tian.
Smashing hazelnuts was even more fun. Tian Tian held half a brick picked up from downstairs in her hand and hit the hazelnut kernels one by one. She was so skilled in smashing hazelnuts now that she could break the hazelnut shells without damaging the hazelnut kernels inside.
"Look at how big this hazelnut kernel is! It would be a waste to make Yuanxiao and Tang Sanjia if it was ground into powder!" Tian Tian put the whole and round hazelnut kernel in her hand and said to Tian Zhuo.
Tian Zhuo took a look and thought it was a pity. "What should we do with these things? Just leave them there? If you don't eat them, isn't this a waste?"
"Don't say I don't want to eat them. When the time comes, put these hazelnut kernels in the pot, fry them on low heat, and then put them in a clay jar and store them well. I will eat some every day!" Tian Tian said.
Aren’t these just roasted hazelnut kernels? In my previous life, roasted hazelnut kernels were very valuable. In this life, these things are free. I picked them up in the mountains. They are pure wild Northeast hazelnuts. How can I waste them like this? I just throw them away. Besides, these kernels are not rotten.
She didn't eat it before because she was lazy and didn't want to crack the shell. Now that she has already cracked it, she might as well crack it open.
Tian Zhuo didn't object after hearing this, "Just smash all these hazelnuts out, and then I'll fry them for you!"
Hearing what Tian Zhuo said, Tian Tian smashed the nuts one by one happily. She put the intact ones aside and asked Tian Zhuo to fry them later. She put the broken hazelnut kernels aside and used them to make Yuanxiao and sugar triangles.
Tian Tian spent the whole afternoon smashing the hazelnuts and finally finished smashing all the hazelnuts.
