Chapter 95 Borrowing Pig's Trotter



However, they were not good at studying. Tian Tian remembered that the fourth child of the Sun family went to elementary school with her, but he failed three years and then returned home to work.

Although he was not good at studying, the people in the Sun family were nice. They always rushed to help the teacher at school and were very nice to others. It was just that their grades were not good, but everyone liked them very much.

At that time, there were a few older kids who had been held back in their elementary school and they bullied the new kids, and it was Sun Laosi who helped them.

But later, because Sun Laosi really couldn't go to the second grade, he had to go home.

Tian Tian thought about it and felt a little conflicted. Grandpa Sun was very good to her when she was a child. Although he didn't want anything from her, he was really good to her. But she forgot about Grandpa Sun.

"Grandma! You said Grandpa Sun was so good to me in the past, should I go and see him?" Tian Tian asked.

"If you want to go and take a look, then go ahead. After the New Year, you can go with us." Old Mrs. Tian didn't have any objection. Although the Sun family didn't usually get along with their Tian family, it was still okay to go and take a look. After all, they were all Tian Tian's elders.

Tian Tian nodded his head and agreed.

Although the benefits enjoyed by the original body had nothing to do with her, Tian Tian felt that since she had occupied the original body, she had to take on her responsibilities. She had to take responsibility for both the benefits obtained by the original body and the bad things done by the original body.

Old Mrs. Tian heard the noise and came over to take a look. Seeing Tian Lisong cleaning the pig intestines, she ignored him and continued to eat melon seeds on the kang.

After Tian Lisong cleaned the pig's large intestine, he cut off a small piece and soaked it in water. He then put the remaining pig's large intestine and stomach in a vat outside to freeze them, waiting to take them out and eat them during the Chinese New Year.

By the time all this was done, it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon. Tian Tian took Tian Zhuo and Tian Baobao into the house to study.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Grandma Tian and her family went to the fields to cook, and Tian Tian and her three little greedy cats gathered around to watch.

There was already some leftover lard in the pot from refining oil at noon. After heating the pot, Old Mrs. Tian poured the pig's large intestine into the pot and stir-fried it until the outside was crispy and all the lard inside was stir-fried out. This time, she squeezed out the water from the chopped sauerkraut and threw it into the pot to stir-fry.

Fry the sauerkraut until it is dry, then serve it out.

Once the sauerkraut is out of the pot, there is no need to wash the pot. Just add water into the pot. After the water is boiled, pour in the cornmeal that has been mashed into a paste. When the water boils, the cornmeal paste is ready, and the family can set the table to eat.

Tian Lisong cut a very small piece of pig intestine, so each person could only get about one piece. But Tian Tian was very satisfied. The outside was fried crispy and dry, and the inside was full of oil when you bit into it.

Tian Baobao had seen the feces left on the large intestine after it was turned over, and he refused to eat it no matter what. So Chen Guihua happily ate Tian Baobao's portion.

Tian Zhuo didn't think the feces were dirty, he also pooped every day, and the feces were washed clean, so he ate a pig intestine happily, and said he wanted to eat more after finishing it.

But this was really just one portion per person, so he couldn't eat any more.

After dinner, Tian Tian was helping to clean up the table when she saw Old Mrs. Huang from next door pushing the door in with a gloomy face.

"Grandma Huang!" Tian Tian greeted her and went into the kitchen to wash the dishes.

When she finished washing the dishes, she saw Old Mrs. Tian taking Aunt Huang out.

When Old Lady Tian came back, Tian Tian asked curiously, "Grandma, why is Grandma Huang here?"

"She came to borrow a pig's trotter, saying that Zhang Lanru had trouble producing milk and her grandson was crying with hunger. She knew that our family had exchanged pig's trotters, so she came to me. I don't know what to say to her." Old Mrs. Tian pulled over a needlework basket and lowered her head to sew a pair of torn socks.

Tian Tian felt that Old Lady Tian seemed a little angry. She looked up at Old Lady Tian carefully and asked carefully, "Did you borrow the milk?"

Old Mrs. Tian said without even raising her head, "Why borrow? If you have no milk, just kill an old hen. The old hen in his family is five years old. It must be very good at producing milk if stewed. She herself was reluctant to kill the chicken and came to ask for our pig's trotter. I won't indulge her bad habits. If it really doesn't work, feed the child rice soup. He won't starve to death. Many children in the brigade have lived this way. You were also fed rice soup when you were a child. Aren't you growing up well now?"

When Tian Tian heard Grandma Tian say that the pig's trotters were not given away, she actually secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the pig's trotters were given away and there was other pork at home, Tian Tian was still very happy that it was not given away.

As soon as she relaxed, Tian Tian became curious about other things. "Grandma! Why do I feel like Aunt Huang is not happy at all? She doesn't look like someone who has a grandson at all."

When she thought about this, Old Mrs. Tian was actually a little puzzled. She remembered that when Zhang Lanru didn't get pregnant a few years ago, Aunt Huang was so anxious that she even took Zhang Lanru to the hospital to see a doctor. The doctor said that Zhang Lanru was not in good health and was a little weak. Even if she was pregnant, the child might be weak.

After returning from the hospital, Aunt Huang prepared all kinds of good things for Zhang Lanru to nourish her body. She let Zhang Lanru eat all the good things first, and she herself didn't even touch a single bite.

Even when Zhang Lanru found out she was pregnant this spring, Aunt Huang was very happy and cooked an egg for her every day. Who knew what happened to their family later.

Aunt Huang complained every day that Zhang Lanru's nose was not a nose, her eyes were not eyes, and she was not as nice to her son Huang Kangri as before.

However, Huang Kangri is not Aunt Huang’s biological son, but adopted by her husband.

Aunt Huang's husband was a militia captain during the War of Resistance Against Japan. Later, a bomb damaged his health and he could not have children, so they simply adopted an orphan and raised him as their own son.

However, Aunt Huang's husband died within two years, and it was Aunt Huang who raised Huang Kangri.

But Old Mrs. Tian felt that Aunt Huang would not treat her son badly for this reason.

Because it is not easy for a woman to raise a child to such an age, and only she knows the hardships she has endured.

Old Mrs. Tian and Aunt Huang have been neighbors for so many years, and she has seen all the hard work Aunt Huang has done.

What happened to the land during the famine ten years ago? After working hard for a year, the harvest was so small.

For example, there are many people in Old Lady Tian's family, so they earn a lot of work points and get a lot of grain. Tian Lisong is an accountant, so he gets work points even if he doesn't work in the fields. There is also a Tian Lijuan in the city who works in the supply and marketing cooperative, and she subsidizes them from time to time.
