Lin Meiyu didn't say anything. No matter whether Tian Tian said it or not, she would go up the mountain to pick mushrooms tomorrow.
The whole family set the table, put the food on the table, and then sat on the kang to eat.
Tian Tian had removed the tendons from the peppers before, so the pepper fried pork was not very spicy. She also put some peppers in An An's small bowl. An An took a bite of cornmeal pancake and then took a bite of pepper, and it tasted especially delicious.
These two are what An An likes to eat. Tian Tian mixes half of the white flour into the cornmeal pancake, so the taste is not rough. Instead, it has a faint aroma of corn. The taste is also relatively delicate, with many pores, and it tastes slightly sweet. An An can eat a small pancake as big as her palm, plus half a bowl of mushrooms. After eating, she ran to the yard to play.
Tian Tian specifically told her not to put her dirty fingers in her mouth, otherwise she would have to take medicine. An An was very afraid of taking medicine. She had gone to the hospital for a physical examination before, and the long and thick needles scared her. She thought taking medicine would be as scary as getting an injection, so every time Tian Tian said to take medicine, An An would behave well.
Tian Tian was not lying to An An. If An An really kept sucking her fingers, Tian Tian would give her anthelmintics. Of course, even if An An listened to Tian Tian and stopped sucking her fingers, Tian Tian would still give her anthelmintics, but the only difference was the amount.
Now Tian Tian also has to take deworming medicine once a year.
She told An An this because she just didn't want to clean up the bugs that An An had pulled out after taking the anthelmintic. It might be okay if she did it once, but if she did it too many times, Tian Tian was really afraid that she would go crazy.
An An was playing in the yard. The doors of the house were closed. Tian Tian was not worried about anything happening. The well at home had been replaced with a pressurized well instead of the kind that you had to lift buckets of water into. She was not worried that An An would fall in.
The door of the pigpen was closed tightly, so there was no need to worry about An An running into the pigpen. Moreover, they ate on the kang, and the windows on the kang were all open. By looking outside, you could see what An An was doing.
However, Tian Tian was still a little worried, so she finished her meal quickly. After that, she took her bowl and chopsticks to the kitchen, washed them, and then sat outside to enjoy the cool air while watching An An.
The next day, Tian Tian washed all the clothes at home. An An's clothes were hung all over the yard. Lin Meiyu, Tian Lisong and Tian Lilin all went up the mountain.
An An was able to be quiet for a while today. He sat obediently on the kang in the room and watched TV with Old Mrs. Tian.
Because An An was too tired from climbing the mountain yesterday, she felt sore all over when she woke up this morning. She didn't want to move at all and could only stay on the kang.
Tian Tian felt a little tired after washing the clothes, so she went to the kitchen to get some food and joined Old Lady Tian and the others. The three of them ate snacks while watching TV.
Not long after, Tian Tian fell asleep. Old Mrs. Tian glanced at Tian Tian, picked up the remote control beside her and turned down the volume of the TV.
An An originally wanted to continue watching TV. Although she didn't quite understand what was being said, she thought the girls' clothes were very beautiful.
So she can also sit quietly in front of the TV and watch the fun.
After she saw her mother fell asleep, she obediently moved to Tian Tian's side, closed her eyes and leaned in Tian Tian's arms. Not long after, she also fell asleep.
When Tian Tian woke up, she found that Old Lady Tian had also fallen asleep. It was already noon, so she quickly got up to cook. Lin Meiyu and Tian Lisong were not back at noon. They had brought dry food in the morning to eat on the mountain.
Tian Tian prepared to cook another pot of noodles, and the three of them just had to eat a little to fill their stomachs.
Although it is dried noodles, Tian Tian is very particular about cooking noodles. Vegetables, eggs and canned food are all necessary.
Tian Tian took a basket and went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables. She just picked a bunch of Chinese cabbage and spinach.
Then I saw Bai Xiaohua's head sticking out outside the wall.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Tian Tian shouted outside from the vegetable garden.
Hearing the sound, Bai Xiaohua was startled and looked around, only to find that Tian Tian, who was standing in the vegetable field, immediately smiled.
"Tian Tian is back."
Tian Tian put the basket aside, prepared to come back to pick the vegetables later, then pushed open the door to the vegetable garden and went out.
"It's summer vacation now, so I was thinking of bringing my kids over to visit my parents. Why is my sister-in-law here?"
"Oh, I'm here to bring you some jelly. I haven't had time these days because of the busy farming season at home. But today I have some time, so I'll bring you some acorn jelly right away," Bai Xiaohua said with a smile.
Old Mrs. Tian likes to eat this acorn jelly, so she ordered some from Bai Xiaohua’s house and had it delivered every three days.
It has been almost a week and Bai Xiaohua still hasn't delivered anything. After finishing the housework, Bai Xiaohua started selling acorn jelly, so she hurriedly delivered Mrs. Tian's share over the past two days.
Tian Tian brought Bai Xiaohua into the house and helped Bai Xiaohua take out all the bowls of jelly in her basket.
"This business is pretty good." Tian Tian asked.
"Business is not as good as it was in the beginning. At that time everyone was just trying to find something new, but now the novelty has almost worn off, so fewer people are buying than before. Also, we are a big family, so the money each person gets from the business is a lot less." Although Bai Xiaohua said this, the smile on her face could not be faked.
Although the profit is definitely a little less than when I first started selling jelly, it is still money, and a fly, no matter how small, is still meat.
It's better than doing any other job and not making any money. Seeing him like this, Tian Tian didn't say anything else.
Taking Bai Xiaohua into the house, Old Mrs. Tian had already woken up when she heard the noise. She tidied the kang and asked Bai Xiaohua to sit on it.
Bai Xiaohua looked at An An who was sleeping soundly on the kang, so she sat down beside the kang, but didn't sit too deep inside it, and spoke in a low voice.
"Auntie, I'm sorry. My family was busy with farming these few days, so I was a little late in delivering the jelly." Bai Xiaohua apologized to Old Mrs. Tian.
"It's okay." Old Mrs. Tian also knew that Bai Xiaohua's family was busy. Their family had the most land in their brigade, but Lin Meishuang was reluctant to spend money to hire people, so their entire family had to work hard.
