In the evening, Ge Huiyun and Gu Shuyun went home after dinner, but An An was still holding on to her little wooden piano.
Tian Tian put An An on the ground and let her play by herself. She leaned against the wall and wanted to rest for a while. She was really tired today. She and Ge Huiyun had been shopping for a whole day and bought a lot of clothes. When she thought of clothes, Tian Tian immediately stood up and ran to tidy up her closet.
There are a lot of clothes in her closet, even the clothes that Li Jiuniang sent her, which she hasn't worn yet. She is a strange person. Not only does she not want to wear the clothes she buys, but she still prefers to wear old clothes. She always feels that old clothes are very soft and comfortable, while new clothes require some time to get used to.
So sometimes even after receiving these new clothes, she usually seldom wore them except for the ones she particularly liked. This also led to her having no interest in Li Jiuniang's new clothes later, and she just put them in the closet.
Maybe those styles are novel to people nowadays, but Tian Tian doesn't think there is anything to be curious about. Even the things Li Jiuniang sent back to them a few times ago, Tian Tian still kept them in the cabinet without opening them.
This time, Tian Tian took out the clothes and looked at them carefully. She found that there were only two pieces of clothing in them, which overlapped with the clothes she bought today. She immediately wailed, "Oh my God, I wasted my money."
She bought two sweaters today. Although the sweaters were not particularly expensive, they were definitely not cheap. The two sweaters were equivalent to her monthly salary. In addition, Li Jiuniang also sent her the coat she wanted but didn't buy.
Tian Tian discovered that the clothes Li Jiuniang sent over were basically all classic and popular styles in the clothing store.
She took out all her clothes and hung them in the closet, thinking that it might be a good thing to wear new clothes to work in the future. She put the two pieces of clothing she had bought separately. She didn't need so many duplicate clothes, so she decided to give these two pieces of clothing to her best friend Zhou Yang.
It happens that she will take them to the post office to send them to Zhou Yang tomorrow. Zhou Yang has a similar body shape to her, so these two clothes should be able to be worn by Zhou Yang. The colors are also youthful and pink, which is perfect for Zhou Yang's baby face.
Tian Tian did what she said. The next day, she took some time off to go downstairs and send the clothes to Zhou Yang.
A week later, Tian Tian received a return gift from Zhou Yang, which was sticky rice dumplings made by her mother.
Because the weather was very cold, the sticky rice dumplings did not go bad or melt even after being transported here. They even tasted very good. Tian Tian steamed a pot of them the same night she brought them back.
An An really likes to eat this sticky rice dumpling, but Tian Tian only let her eat half of it and didn't let her eat more because she can't digest glutinous rice.
But An An still opened his mouth and wanted more, so Tian Tian had to pick out the red bean paste and give it to An An.
You can feel that the red bean paste here is made by them themselves, because there are red bean granules in it, and the taste is very different from the ones sold outside. Nowadays, most families make their own red bean paste, and Tian Tian is no exception.
She would also put a lot of sugar in the red bean paste she made, so that she wouldn't have to dip the food in extra sugar.
The red bean paste in the sticky rice dumplings that Zhou Yang’s mother sent back was obviously very different from the Tiantian one. It was not sweet, and you could taste that there was no sugar in it. There was no sweetness at all, just the aroma of red bean paste.
When they were eating the red bean buns, they had to cover them with sugar. Tian Tian basically took up all the sugar. An Ren had a big belly, so after eating one filled with red bean paste, he went into the house to play games. The location of their dining table just happened to allow them to see An An's game house, so Tian Tian also sat next to the table and ate with peace of mind.
"We can also make some sticky rice dumplings for the Chinese New Year and put lots of sugar in them." Tian Tian took a bite of the sticky rice dumpling and said that she still prefers to eat sweet things, at least the filling should be sweet, but this sticky rice dumpling has a very light taste.
Gu Zhao had no objection to this, but said thoughtfully: "Then you have to buy more red bean paste. There is no red bean paste at home, and you can't make it by yourself. Let's make it when I have a holiday."
Because red bean paste is easy to burn when fried, you can only stir it continuously, but there are other things to do at home. Even if An An has to go to kindergarten, Tian Tian still has to do other things at home, so this thing can only be done when there are two people at home.
"I'll buy some red beans before the New Year, and then some glutinous rice flour. When we have nothing to do, we can make some red bean buns at home, and also some glutinous rice balls with black sesame fillings." Gu Zhao said.
Tian Tian nodded. She always listened to Gu Zhao about food in their family, and she had no objection to Gu Zhao's arrangements.
After eating the sticky rice dumplings, Tian Tian called Zhou Yang and said that she liked eating them very much and everyone in her family liked them very much.
Zhou Yang on the other end of the phone was also very happy to hear this, and said excitedly that he would send some more to An and the others. Tian Tian immediately said that it was not necessary, and they would prepare to make some sticky rice dumplings at home.
Zhou Yang enthusiastically asked Tian Tian not to be polite, saying that she had made a lot of sticky rice dumplings at home and couldn't finish them all.
Tian Tian kept nodding her head, but finally refused. She still knew how to make sticky rice dumplings.
This has become a must-have item for them during the Chinese New Year, and Tian Tian also does it frequently when she is at home.
But at that time she always listened to her grandmother. Tian Tian did whatever her grandmother told her to do.
Tian Tian didn't have any skills in making sticky rice dumplings, but Zhou Yang shared a lot of them with Tian Tian. She also said that they made a lot of different fillings this year, including walnut kernel filling and red bean paste filling. They made a lot of each and sent a lot of them to relatives at home. She also asked Tian Tian if she wanted to eat the one with walnut kernel filling.
"Forget it. I still have a lot of pecans at home. My mother brought them back to me when I was pregnant. I haven't eaten them yet. It's New Year's Day and I'm thinking about how to cook them all." Tian Tian said.
"Okay then." Zhou Yang said with some regret.
"To be honest, I've been eating sticky rice dumplings at home every day lately, and I'm a little tired of it. I was thinking of sending you some more so that I can eat less."
