She didn't dare take the biscuits from Tian Baobao and Tian Lilin at the dinner table, so she could only drink water while hungry at noon, or follow Tian Tian and get some snacks from Tian Tian, so that she could hold on until two or three o'clock in the afternoon.
Now seeing that Tian Tian only had half a piece of pancake left, Chen Guihua's eyes lit up.
Tian Tian also knew that Chen Guihua loved to eat and was often hungry. She glanced at Old Lady Tian and saw that she had no expression on her face. She smiled and said, "Second Aunt, if you want to eat, just take it."
Chen Guihua immediately took the half-baked pancake from the bowl and put it in her own bowl.
Old Mrs. Tian glanced at Chen Guihua. She also knew that Chen Guihua would not be full with just two pancakes, but she and Lin Meiyu earned about the same amount of work points throughout the year, and she couldn't deliberately make more for Chen Guihua, as that would be unfair to Lin Meiyu.
Even if both of them cooked, their family might not have enough food to last until the autumn harvest.
Moreover, Old Mrs. Tian thought that she was not treating Chen Guihua unfairly. Other people could eat full meals every day. There were few people in their family who only ate until they were 60% to 70% full.
Besides, there were a lot of snacks at home, such as hazelnuts, chestnuts, pecans, and dried sweet potatoes. It was not like she would not give them to Chen Guihua and the others.
These days, Chen Guihua ate snacks with Tian Tian and the others every day, and Old Mrs. Tian never said anything to her.
Tian Tian was about 70% full when she ate the cabbage, so she restrained herself and put down her chopsticks.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Tian did not stew cabbage, but stewed squash and potatoes.
This is even more attractive to Tian Tian. The squash is sweet and soft, and the squash has a strong flavor. Add to that the soft potatoes, which are all Tian Tian's favorites. Especially the salty, sweet, and sticky bottom, which Tian Tian can't refuse.
Squash and potatoes can fill you up, so Old Mrs. Tian didn't make cornmeal pancakes, but stewed a big pot of squash and potatoes. The portion was big enough for the whole family.
When Tian Tian saw this vegetable, she completely lost her mind. She thought, let her gain weight, she could lose weight by working in the fields in the spring.
Thinking of this, Tian Tian completely relaxed and ate the squash and potatoes to her heart's content.
She scooped the sticky pumpkin paste at the bottom of the pot into the bowl, and then put some potatoes into the bowl.
She didn't like the hard texture of the squash skin, so she wrapped the potatoes in squash paste, and the taste was no worse than the squash.
In the following days, Tian Tian completely let herself go and no longer thought about whether she had gained weight. During the day, she worked when she should work and ate when she should eat. At night, she studied in the shell and went to play with Shen Lingling and Tian Yun from time to time.
The weather is getting colder and colder. I used to wear a small padded jacket outside a sweater, but later I put on a big cotton-padded jacket.
Even so, Tian Tian still didn't feel warm enough, so she wore several layers of woolen sweaters inside.
I don’t know if it’s Tian Tian’s illusion, but she always feels that the winter now is much colder than the winter decades later.
In the past, she didn’t feel her hands were cold when she went outside without wearing gloves. Now, even if she wears gloves, her hands are frozen after going out.
She finally understood why people in TV dramas always liked to put their hands in their sleeves. This is indeed much warmer than wearing gloves.
Going to the toilet became Tian Tian's most hated thing. Every time she urinated, her buttocks almost froze in two, not to mention going to the toilet.
The only thing that makes Tian Tian happy is that now there are no flies or mosquitoes flying around you when you go to the toilet.
It is January soon and the year is coming to an end.
That day, Tian Tian was helping Old Lady Tian and the others to twist hemp ropes. Last time, Tian Tian had a row of blisters on her hands from rubbing them, so Old Lady Tian gave Tian Tian a pair of knitted gloves.
After Tian Tian put on the yarn gloves and rubbed the hemp rope less, she rarely got blisters.
"Sister! Can you give me some folded paper?" Tian Baobao said as he poked his head out from the east room.
Paji is to fold paper into a square and then throw it hard on the ground. Whoever makes the loudest sound wins.
This game was taught to Tian Baobao and his friends by Tian Tian. She said that there are many families going to school now, but few are willing to use the paper from their homework books to fold these things. Even newspapers cost money. Only Tian Tian was willing to use the homework papers to fold things for them to play with. Before this, she was scolded by Old Lady Tian.
As expected, Mrs. Tian frowned when she heard this. "You two learn less than one page of characters a day, and yet you use several pages of paper to fold that thing for you every day. Isn't that a waste?"
"Don't you want to go ice skating? It just so happens that your uncle found the sled a few days ago, so why don't you go ice skating with the sled? Don't go to the big river, just go to the small river in front."
Even though the weather is extremely cold now, the river is wide and only the shore is frozen, but the water in the middle of the river cannot freeze solid at all.
Tian Tian's eyes lit up. She had never skated on a sled before.
In her previous life, there were people who rented sleds and ice skates for people to skate on the river, but at that time she was working part-time every day to make money and had no time to experience it.
Later, something happened in the river. Someone was walking on the river and fell into an ice cave. Then the river was closed and people were not allowed to skate on it. Tian Tian never went there again.
How good it is now, she doesn’t have to spend any money and there is no time limit.
"Grandma! I want to go too!" said Tian Tian.
"Then you all go together!" Old Mrs. Tian didn't care. If you want to play, then just play together.
The three siblings were fully armed, wearing hats, scarves and gloves, and pulled a small sled to the river together.
Their sled is not the kind that can carry multiple people at once, but it can only carry one person at a time. It is similar to a small bench with two wooden bars nailed underneath and two sticks for support in the hands.
Then you can sit on the small sled and slide forward with a stick.
This sled has been passed down for many years. It was first made by Tian Tian's father for her brother Tian Yuan. Later, it was given to the original owner when he was young, and now it is given to Tian Baobao and others to play with. It has been at least ten years.
After the three of them pulled the sled across the bridge, they went to the foot of a small hill on the opposite side of the bridge of Team 6. All the water in their river flowed down from the mountain, and most of it flowed down from the mountain opposite the bridge. There was a place similar to a small waterfall, which would be completely frozen. You could sit on it and slide down, just like a natural big slide.
When the three of them arrived, there were already people on the ice slide, and a piece of open space had been cleared on the snowy river surface, which was filled with people sitting on small sleds.
