While everyone was talking about Tian Yuan and not in the mood to eat, Chen Guihua stuffed a few chopsticks of cabbage into her mouth as quickly as possible and said incoherently: "Sister-in-law, if you ask me, you shouldn't have agreed to let Tian Yuan join the army. What kind of soldier is he? What if something happens on the battlefield in the future? Doesn't he have a saying... "
Chen Guihua chewed her food and recalled the words faster than her brain could think. "Oh! Right! Bullets don't have eyes. If they really get hurt, you, as a mother, will be heartbroken!"
"Shut your mouth, so many dishes can't fill your mouth!" Tian Lilin saw that his sister-in-law looked unhappy, so he quickly stuffed another chopstick of cabbage into Chen Guihua's mouth.
Even Old Mrs. Tian glared at Chen Guihua fiercely.
Chen Guihua was chewing food with a confused look on her face, not knowing what she had said wrong to make Old Lady Tian angry again.
Although Lin Meiyu knew that Chen Guihua was such a person and that she did not mean any harm by saying this, she still felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.
"Mom, don't worry. There is no war now, and my brother will definitely be safe in the army." Tian Tian comforted Lin Meiyu.
She remembered that there seemed to be no war in the past two years, so Tian Yuan should be fine in the army.
"You don't have to worry too much. Tian Yuan is not a child anymore. He will have to go out sooner or later. Can you still worry about him for the rest of his life?" Tian Lisong said.
Lin Meiyu sighed and said nothing more.
But she was in a bad mood after dinner and went back to the house after finishing her work.
She wasn't in a bad mood because Tian Yuan didn't come back for the New Year.
When Tian Yuan first joined the army, she was already mentally prepared for this.
She just felt uncomfortable that Tian Yuan hadn't sent a letter home for such a long time. Even if it was just a few words, she would feel at ease.
When Lin Meiyu returned to the room, Tian Tian keenly noticed that Lin Meiyu was in a bad mood, and she wanted to coax her.
But she was born with a bad tongue and had no idea how to coax people like this. Every time she encountered it, she wanted to stay away from it.
Tian Tian thought for a long time, then fried some walnut kernels and sent them to Lin Meiyu.
"Mom! Eat walnuts!" Tian Tian handed a small bowl full of walnut kernels to Lin Meiyu.
Lin Meiyu smiled when she saw the walnut kernels. "Why did you take them? You can eat them yourself. Why is it so laborious to crack a walnut?"
The walnuts they have are all hickory nuts, which have thick and hard skins and are particularly difficult to crack.
"I have more outside, these are especially for you." Tian Tian was not good at coaxing people, so she could only use this clumsy method to make Lin Meiyu happier.
Seeing Tian Tian like this, Lin Meiyu took the walnuts and ate them slowly.
Obviously, she also knew what Tian Tian was thinking, and said with relief: "My Tiantian is really a little cotton-padded jacket."
Tian Tian smiled a little embarrassedly. It was the first time for her to have her own mother and the first time she felt the feeling of maternal love. She couldn't do anything now, so she just wanted to try her best to make Lin Meiyu happier.
"Mom!" Tian Zhuo pushed open the door, poked his head in, put his hands behind his back, walked in with small square steps, and stretched out his little hand, "Mom! This is for you!"
I saw him holding a small snowman in his hand. You could tell he made it himself. There were his fingerprints on it, and the snowball was not round.
"So cute!" Tian Tian's eyes lit up when she saw the little snowman. Maybe because she was a little snail, she has liked small round things since she was a child. The smaller and rounder the thing, the cuter it is to her.
"Why did you bring this thing into the house? It's so hot in the house, it will melt into water in a moment." When Lin Meiyu saw the snowman, she immediately asked Tian Zhuo to take it out.
It was visibly seen that Tian Zhuo's round eyes drooped, and the few hairs on his head drooped.
Tian Zhuo didn't quite understand what was said at the dinner table today. Even his memory of his brother had become very vague.
When Tian Yuan joined the army last year, Tian Zhuo was only four years old.
Children's memory is not good to begin with, and Tian Zhuo hasn't seen Tian Yuan for a year, so he only has a general impression of Tian Yuan.
He was keenly aware that Lin Meiyu was in a bad mood, so he made a small snowman and wanted to cheer Lin Meiyu up. Unexpectedly, Lin Meiyu asked him to take the snowman out. Tian Zhuo felt a little disappointed.
"Put the snowman on the windowsill outside, so it can be preserved for many days. If you put it in the house it will melt in a short while. Your mother will definitely be reluctant to let it go." Seeing Tian Zhuo's expression, Tian Tian immediately tried to smooth things over.
Lin Meiyu also realized something and said quickly, "Yes! Listen to your sister. Mom will feel uncomfortable if she thinks the little snowman will melt in the house."
Tian Zhuo then became happy and ran out happily holding the little snowman.
Lin Meiyu's sadness only lasted for a moment. Before long, she put the emotion behind her and went out to work again.
Tian Tian was intrigued by Tian Zhuo's snowman and went out to build a snowman with Tian Baobao and others.
There was a heavy snowfall a few days ago, and the snow in the yard is still quite thick. I only swept out a few small paths in the yard, and the snow was not moved in the rest of the place.
Tian Tian rolled several snowballs and wanted to put them on the ground to make them bigger, but there was too little snow in the yard and they fell to the ground after just a few rolls. Tian Tian and her friends simply took the snowballs and rolled them outside on the field.
The ground outside was white and no one had ever stepped on it. If it weren't for her dignity as an older sister, Tian Tian would have wanted to run up and roll around.
The best snow is the one that no one has stepped on. The snow is still very fluffy. You can put a snowball on it and roll it. It can get a lot of snow after just one roll.
The three siblings rolled two snowballs of different sizes, stacked the snowballs together to make a snowman, picked up a few stones on the ground as eyes, nose, mouth and buttons, and inserted two branches as hands. In this way, a simple snowman was made.
Although this snowman is a little different from what Tian Tian imagined, Tian Tian is still very happy.
As the sky gradually darkened, the siblings walked home with frozen feet and red hands.
The yard was quiet, with only some light coming from the kitchen house, and occasional voices and laughter could be heard from time to time.
Tian Tian pushed the door open and Lin Meiyu looked up and saw the three of them. "You're back! Are you cold? Come over here and warm yourself by the fire!"
As Tian Lisong, Lin Meiyu and Chen Guihua, who were sitting around the brazier, immediately made room for three seats and invited Tian Tian and the others to sit over.
