Tian Tian heard that An An had a fulfilling life today, "So, was An An happy today?"
An An nodded vigorously.
"I'm happy. Grandpa made delicious food for me at noon today. It was meat, really big pieces of meat, and bean curd. An An likes to eat bean curd." An An said in a baby voice.
As Tian Tian carried An An into the house, she smelled the rich aroma of braised meat. Even though she was not very hungry at the moment, she still felt a little greedy.
An An was put on the ground. When she saw her parents coming, she felt relieved and no longer insisted on going outside. Instead, she ran back to the living room and played with building blocks in the original place.
"You two are finally back. An An has been standing outside since a while ago, saying that she would wait for you two to come over. But she refused to bring you back no matter what I said. I had no choice but to close the door and let her wait outside."
Tian Tian just nodded without any objection. Their gate and courtyard wall both had railings, but the railings were very thin in the middle, and even a two-year-old child could not get through.
Moreover, the lock of the gate is located very high and An An can't reach it, so it is relatively safe in the yard.
"Have you two eaten yet? If not, you can have a bite at home. Your dad has been making the braised food since this morning, and it's just right to eat now. You can take some back when you leave later."
Tian Tian nodded and did not refuse this time, mainly because the braised food buns that Li Jiuniang sent her were really big.
You have to put a lot of vegetables in it every time you cook it. If you put too little, it won’t be worth it. So Tian Tian and the others must take some away because Ge Huiyun and Gu Shuyun can’t finish it.
When Gu Shuyun heard that Tian Tian and the others had returned, she came out of the kitchen and brought out a plate of braised food that had been cut and arranged in advance, including potato chips, kelp, bean curd skin, bean curd sticks, quail eggs, and chopped pork elbow.
Tian Tian was stunned when she saw the pork elbow.
"Mom, where did you buy the pork elbow?" She picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of pork skin from the pork elbow, and stuffed it into her mouth. It was soft, tender and chewy, with a rich taste of marinade.
"It just so happens that a neighbor is slaughtering a pig today, so your father bought the pig's trotters, pig ears, pig tails, pig snouts and pig intestines. There is also a piece of pork belly. When the time comes, you can take the pork belly home and cook it yourself. The meat is so delicious." Ge Huiyu said.
When Tian Tian heard this, she realized that these things were all her favorites.
She especially likes to eat pig tails and pig ears, and pig trotters are a bit worse.
Before she got married, Ge Huiyun seldom ate these things, so even when she was queuing up to buy meat at that time, and all that was left were pig ears and pig snouts, she would not buy them and would just turn around and leave.
But Tian Tian preferred to eat these two, and after Tian Tian had been married for a long time, Ge Huiyun knew about it, and every time she made braised food, she would buy some of Tian Tian's favorite things and add them in, and then Tian Tian would pack them all up and take them home.
Tian Tian appreciated the braised food, but she gave up on the pork belly.
"You can keep the pork belly for yourselves, Mom. Gu Zhao and I won't have time to cook it when we go back. School is about to start over there, and there are still many things to prepare. I also have to go to school for a meeting, not to mention Gu Zhao. If you bring it back to my house and put it in the refrigerator for too long, it won't be fresh anymore. You can cook it with my dad." Tian Tian said.
She is indeed busy this week, with cleaning and meetings at school. Although she is not in school the whole day like before, there are still many things to do at school.
Gu Shuyun and Ge Huiyun are about to retire, so they will have more free time and have time to prepare food at home, but Tian Tian doesn't have that time.
"Just take the pork back. If you can't make it, just freeze it in the refrigerator. When you two have time, you two can cook it. Your dad and I don't have time either. The big pot of stewed meat we made is enough for us to eat for a few days. And you know that your dad and I are both bad at eating meat. It's okay to eat one or two bites, but it's not okay to eat too much. Just take the meat home and listen to me."
Gu Zhao came out of the kitchen and heard this and said, "Mom, just listen to Tian Tian and keep the pork. We just had braised pork with pork before going out today, and we don't want to eat anything so greasy in the short term. Don't you like braised pork? Ask my dad to make the pork into braised pork and keep it for yourself."
Ge Huiyun and Gu Shuyun seldom eat meat. Tian Tian thinks that eating more meat can make the body strong. If you don't eat meat and only eat vegetables, it's not good for your health.
Ge Huiyun was unable to persuade Tian Tian and Gu Zhao, and finally left the piece of pork belly at home. After Tian Tian and the others finished their meal, they took the braised pork that Gu Shuyun had packed for them home.
A week later, Tian Tian and Gu Zhao took a day off and took An An to the Cultural Palace to learn piano and violin.
She originally just wanted An An to be exposed to more things and didn't really intend to let An An learn anything at her age, but to Tian Tian's surprise, An An was actually quite talented.
Basically, no matter what note the teacher plays for her, the next time he plays that note for her, she will be able to tell what the note is.
This is quite a magical thing for Tian Tian, who has been unable to distinguish the pitch of music since childhood.
After trying both classes, An An decided to learn both.
After hearing that An An really wanted to learn, Tian Tian decided to let him learn. After all, the couple could still afford the tuition fees.
From then on, An An went to kindergarten from Monday to Friday, and went to the Children's Cultural Palace to learn piano on Saturdays and Sundays.
Two years passed like this, and An An became more and more proficient at playing the piano. Tian Tian and Gu Zhao began to hesitate whether to buy a piano or a violin for An An.
This time, Tian Tian took out all her savings.
The price of a piano is not cheap, especially in this era, it is even more expensive for them.
This is not like televisions and washing machines, where you can save enough money to buy them. After the two of them calculated the money and were sure they could buy a piano and a violin, Tian Tian gave the money to Gu Zhao and asked Gu Zhao to ask his friends to buy them. After all, both pianos and violins were rare items at that time.
Fortunately, the machinery factory has become stable in the past two years, and wages have not only not decreased, but have increased a lot.
