In Tian Tian's opinion, it was a bit like "Why not eat meat?" In fact, Liang Rong's family was not like that. Her father and mother both worked their way up from the grassroots, but because Liang Rong was the only daughter in the family, she was a little spoiled when she was young.
In addition, their salaries were quite high at that time, and the world outside was in chaos, so they protected Liang Rong like the apple of their eye. Therefore, Liang Rong never suffered any hardship.
Now that Liang Rong is older, her father thinks that this is not going to work, so he wants Liang Rong to see more of the world and get to know the people at the bottom of society. There are still many people who live a hard life, so he wants her to stop being spoiled at home.
In fact, Liang Rong's mother also thought that her father's decision was a good one, but she felt sorry for her child after all, so she thought of letting Liang Rong work as a worker in a textile factory first. This way, she could experience how difficult life was for the people below her, and then find a leisurely office job after the transition.
But both of them were stubborn people, especially Liang Rong's father. Liang Rong's mother did not mention this matter to her father for the time being, and only briefly mentioned it to Liang Rong.
By the end of October, the discussion was finally over, and everyone brought food to the county town to deliver the public grain. Tian Lisong and his team came over once to deliver food to Tian Tian and the others. Looking at the expressions of Tian Lisong and Tian Ligang, Tian Tian knew that this year's harvest was good.
The weather was getting cold, and Tian Tian no longer went home every two weeks or once a month as before. She just stayed in school all the time. After Tian Lisong paid his public grain tax, he took another day to bring Tian Tian all the food rations until January.
Although the weather is cold now, there is still some work to do in the countryside. Everyone is still very busy. They have to go up the mountain to collect firewood, and some families have to dig cellars. The cabbages and radishes in the fields are about to be harvested in the next two days. In addition, they have to weave hemp ropes in winter. It’s not too much work, but it’s a lot anyway, and there is never a single day when they are idle.
We might as well just send the food over. Besides, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, making it difficult to walk on the road, and it will be even more difficult to carry the food.
Tian Tian had no objection to Tian Lisong's decision. This was the decision she made first. It would be enough to deliver the food all at once. There was no need to deliver it every month or half a month. Tian Lisong was so busy. Not only would it delay his work, but it would also be very tiring.
Tian Tian would not ask Tian Lisong to send a lot of food over. First, the food in the school was not delicious. She did not have to do physical work at school every day, and she could not eat much at each meal.
Second, too much food was delivered and they could not finish it during the holidays. Even though they had food coupons in their hands, Tian Tian still felt something was wrong. It would be better to just eat less so that what they ate would be fresh.
Just let Tian Lisong send a little less every month, and she would eat less every day. The food sent would be just enough for her to eat until the day of her holiday.
Because she ate less, Tian Tian lost a lot of weight and even had a pointed chin.
Tian Yun couldn't notice it when he was with Tian Tian every day, but as soon as Tian Tian returned home, everyone in the family noticed it.
Old Mrs. Tian immediately hugged Tian Tian in her arms and felt distressed for a while. She said that she liked chubby children and she had raised Tian Tian with great difficulty to make her plump. Not to mention that in this day and age, people who can be chubby are very blessed.
As a result, after Tian Tian went away to study for half a year, all the weight she had gained with great difficulty was gone when she came back.
"Are you not having a good time in school? Why are you so thin? Or is the food your father sends you not enough for you to eat?" Old Mrs. Tian held Tian Tian's hand and asked for a while.
"No!" Tian Tian said, "The food my dad sent over was enough. The food in our school is not as delicious as yours. I don't want to eat it, so I lost weight."
Old Mrs. Tian couldn't stop laughing when she heard this. "What are you talking about, kid? What's delicious? As long as you can fill your stomach, it's enough. Now you're being picky about taste."
"Grandma! I'm not picky," Tian Tian defended herself, "The cabbage in our school is not tasty, it's all dry cabbage stalks, I can't even bite it!"
The cabbages in school are definitely not preserved as well as the ones at home. They are just left there carelessly, and all the water in the cabbages has run away. They taste very stringy, and even the radishes are like bran.
"Since you are not used to the food prepared at school, grandma will cook you some cabbage from our home today." Tian Laotian said with a smile.
"Then I want to eat the cabbage buried in the snow." Tian Tian requested.
There are generally two ways to cook the cabbage here. One is to put it in a cellar. This time, even if the outer part of the cabbage is dried up by the wind, the inside is still edible after removing the cabbage that has been moved to the cellar. It tastes no different from fresh cabbage.
Another way is to leave the cabbage in the ground instead of pulling it out. When the weather gets colder, the cabbage will freeze little by little, and will be completely buried under the snow in winter.
When you want to eat it, you can chop the cabbage, blanch it in water, and eat it directly with soybean paste. This kind of cabbage is sweet and Tian Tian likes it very much.
"Osmanthus! Go and exchange the beans for a bowl of tofu. Then save the afternoon to make cabbage stewed with tofu and vermicelli. Then make a pot of cornmeal buns."
Chen Guihua was very happy to hear that. There was not so much work to do during the winter and the food at home had dropped sharply. Grandma Tian only had to maintain everyone's basic needs by cooking every day. She didn't care about the taste, since they didn't have to work anyway. So there was no need to eat so much. Chen Guihua could only eat chestnuts and hazelnuts to fill her stomach every day. Fortunately, Grandma Tian didn't intend to restrict them from eating these things. They just had a bite here and there and their stomachs were full.
Now that Tian Tian is back, Old Mrs. Tian is finally willing to cook some delicious food. Chen Guihua is very happy and doesn't mind the cold weather outside at all. She takes a bowl of soybeans and goes to exchange for tofu.
The people at home were not idle either. Even if Tian Tian didn't come back, it was time to eat, and everyone started to prepare food.
Tian Tian also wanted to help, but Old Mrs. Tian drove Tian Tian back into the house to rest and let her warm up in the house.
Although no one has lived in Tian Tian's house for a while, Old Mrs. Tian has always kept the kang heated. Even if Tian Tian suddenly came back today, the house would still be warm and there would be no need to heat the kang.
