Lin Meiyu came back to her senses and quickly took the big fish from Tian Tian's hand. She said distressedly, "Where did you get this fish, kid? And why don't you wear gloves? Look at your hands and face, they are so frozen."
As soon as the fish left her arms, Tian Tian immediately put her hands in her pockets. The friction between the back of her hands and the fabric inside her pockets was already a little painful.
Tian Tian trotted into the room and startled Tian Lisong who was putting on his shoes.
"Tiantian, you're back!" Tian Lisong quickly put on the warm shoes.
"Yeah!" Tian Tian agreed perfunctorily, staring at the brazier in the kitchen, and was about to run over to warm herself by the fire, but Lin Meiyu, who was following behind her, grabbed her by the collar.
"Do you still want your hands? You're going to warm yourself by the fire when they're so frozen? Aren't you afraid of getting frostbite on your hands?"
Lin Meiyu was so angry when she saw Tian Tian like this that she threw the big fish in her arms into Tian Lisong's arms, took a basin from the side and went out to collect the snow.
Tian Lisong was shocked when he saw the big fish. He looked at Tian Tian seriously and asked, "Did you catch this fish? Did you go to the river?"
Tian Tian smiled innocently, "I didn't intend to catch fish, I just wanted to go to the river to have a look. Unexpectedly, a fish jumped out of a hole in the ice, and I caught it right away!"
She was really greedy when she saw the fish in Li Jiuniang's arms. She did want to try her luck when she went to the river, but she definitely did not think of reaching into the ice hole to catch fish. She did not walk to the middle of the river, but just looked at the ice holes beside the river.
Maybe it was because of her lucky physique, a fish really jumped out, and she held the fish in a panic. The fish's tail hit her in the face, and her two gloves fell into the ice hole. They were freezing cold, and she couldn't put them on when she came back.
If the gloves hadn't had a rope hanging around her neck, they would have fallen into the river long ago.
The fish she caught was too active to hold in her hands, so she carried it all the way back.
"Don't go to the river next time. No one will save you if you fall in!" Tian Lisong said seriously.
There aren't many people living near the river. If you fall in, no one will hear you even if you scream for help. Moreover, in the middle of winter, who would hang out outside? Everyone stays at home for the winter. Even if people go to the river to catch fish, they don't go every day.
"I get it. I won't do that again!" Tian Tian also knew that Tian Lisong and Lin Meiyu were worried about her, so she did not refute Tian Lisong and agreed obediently.
At this time, Lin Meiyu brought in a basin of snow, took Tian Tian's hand and rubbed her hands with the snow. No one knew what the principle was, but Tian Tian's hands miraculously became warm.
"Do you need to rub your feet?" Lin Meiyu asked.
Tian Tian nodded. Her feet were also very cold.
Lin Meiyu took off Tian Tian's big cotton shoes, then took off Tian Tian's socks, and rubbed her feet with snow.
When Tian Tian saw Lin Meiyu taking off her shoes, she broke out in a cold sweat. Then she realized that she was not wearing the socks from her shell, but the woolen socks knitted for her by Lin Meiyu. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"What are you doing? You can't even grind the flour peacefully, and there are constant noises, like mice!" Old Mrs. Tian was originally resting in the house, but she heard some whispering in the kitchen, which kept her awake, so she got up and put on her clothes to take a look.
"Grandma!" Tian Tian saw Old Lady Tian and showed off to her with a smile, "I went to the river and caught a big fish. Let's stew the fish and eat it later!"
In fact, she was very proud of having caught this big fish, but looking at the expressions of Tian Lisong and Lin Meiyu, she did not dare to show her pride.
"Ah!" Tian Tian suddenly screamed and retracted her foot, "Mom! Why are you pinching me?"
"I see you are quite proud of yourself, grabbing a fish's tail and flying up to the sky!" said Lin Meiyu.
Old Mrs. Tian looked at the fish and scolded Tian Tian, making her look depressed.
After Tian Tian returned to her own little house, Old Lady Tian finally caught the fish that had just recovered and was swimming happily in the basin.
"Tian Tian is quite good at catching fish. She caught a bream! This fish is great, with big pieces of meat and few bones!"
After Mrs. Tian finished speaking, she raised her knife and knocked the fish unconscious.
"Eldest brother's wife! Go get me a scoop of cornmeal and mix it with the flour to make pancakes in the afternoon. Eldest brother! Go to your aunt Sun and exchange it for a bowl of tofu so that we can stew fish with tofu!" said Old Mrs. Tian.
"Oh!" Lin Meiyu agreed crisply and went to scoop noodles.
Tian Lisong, who had just taken off his shoes, thought he didn’t have to go out and said, “…Okay!”
Tian Tian was driven back into the house, where she lay on the kang in a daze.
There really is nothing to kill time at this time, and it is too cold outside and there is nothing to do. Apart from sleeping, Tian Tian seems to have nothing to do in this winter.
It was too cold outside and she didn't want to go out, so she could only stay in the house and stare blankly.
After a while, the door of Tian Tian's room suddenly made a sound and then opened. Two little heads popped in. They were Tian Zhuo and Tian Baobao.
"Sister!" Tian Zhuo cheered when he saw Tian Tian, threw off his shoes and ran onto the kang, hugging Tian Tian tightly. His little mouth was as sweet as candy, and he kept saying nice things to her.
"Sister! Grandma said you caught a big fish! You are so awesome, sister!"
While Tian Tian hugged Tian Zhuo, the little cannon, she looked at Tian Baobao in confusion as he walked into the house with his legs clamped together.
How could Tian Baobao, a foodie, stay so calm when he heard about fish?
"What happened to you? Did you stretch your legs while playing?"
Tian Baobao's face, which was already red from the high altitude, became even redder. He avoided looking at Tian Tian, and squeezed his legs tighter, and his walking posture became even more awkward.
Tian Tian became even more confused seeing him like this.
Tian Zhuo covered his mouth and laughed quietly, earning an angry glare from Tian Baobao.
"Sister! Brother's crotch is torn! We can see the shorts inside! The other kids are laughing at him. Just now, brother went to find grandma, and grandma told him to find someone to sew his pants together himself." Tian Zhuo leaned close to Tian Tian's ear and whispered.
Tian Tian understood that Tian Baobao was embarrassed that his pants were torn, but was too embarrassed to ask her to sew them.
Tian Tian couldn't help laughing when she saw Tian Baobao's delicate and shy look.
"Sister! You laugh at me too!" Tian Baobao said angrily.
Tian Tian held back her laughter and looked at Tian Baobao's hand, "Turn around so I can see if I can sew it for you."
