"Hahaha... Mom, this is nothing. This is basic etiquette in a foreign country."

"You have so many tricks."

Zuo Mingyan slapped Jiang Tiantian coquettishly.

"Okay, go to the bar by yourself, mom won't bother you anymore."

"By the way, no one has bathed in this hot spring before. It was just filled with hot water yesterday. If there is anything missing, you can buy it yourself..."

This small hot spring pool was just repaired and dried a few days ago, and was filled with hot water yesterday. No one in the family has ever come in to take a bath in it.

Everyone had a tacit understanding that this hot spring pool was for Jiang Tiantian alone.

Instead, the elders prefer to take a bath in the bathhouse built collectively for the villagers.

The hot springs for the women were in one place, and for the men in another.

The pool will not be shared.

Even if you can hear the sound of water and human voices not far away, you can't see anyone behind the stone walls, hedges or plants.

Everyone can still get together openly, chat about family matters and share gossip.

Quite interesting.

After Zuo Mingyan left.

Jiang Tiantian prepared all the necessary bathing supplies, wrapped herself in a large bath towel, tested the water temperature, and entered the pool.

As soon as you enter the water, you will feel warm and comfortable all over.

"call……"

Jiang Tiantian couldn't help but let out a long breath, soaking in the steaming hot water, and her whole body relaxed.

Thinking that the door is locked, safety is guaranteed.

Jiang Tiantian threw away the bath towel, swam a few laps in the pool, then leaned back against the edge of the pool, squinting her eyes with a look of enjoyment on her face.

She thought contentedly, what a wonderful life it is.

So comfortable!

Jiang Tiantian climbed out of the pool reluctantly only when she felt all the pores in her body were opened, the fatigue and dirty air in her body completely disappeared, and her body felt a little weak.

"If I could give you a massage, it would be perfect."

Jiang Tiantian couldn't help but sigh with regret.

Because of this hot spring, Jiang Tiantian doesn't want to leave Chajia Village anymore.

It’s still comfortable to stay here.

Beautiful mountains, beautiful waters, beautiful people!

Even the air seems to be a little sweeter than outside.

Every time Jiang Tiantian returns to Chajia Village, she feels as if all the cells in her body come alive and she jumps with joy.

After taking a hot spring bath, Jiang Tiantian returned to her room and had another good sleep.

Immediately, I became lively and energetic.

Open the door.

Zuo Mingyan was peeling persimmons in the yard.

The golden persimmon skin stretched smoothly from her hand like a flowing ribbon.

Soon, a whole, smooth persimmon appeared in Zuo Mingyan's hand.

This season is the best time to dry persimmon cakes.

The persimmons at this time are relatively mature and have sufficient sugar content, so the dried persimmon cakes taste very sweet.

in addition.

The weather in autumn is drier, with less rain and more sunshine.

Drying persimmon cakes at this time can accelerate the evaporation of moisture in the persimmons, allowing the persimmon cakes to be dried faster.

Zuo Mingyan heard the sound, turned around and saw Jiang Tiantian walking towards her.

He smiled and asked, "Did you rest well?"

As he said this, he handed her the persimmon he had just peeled.

"Here, I've just peeled it. Have one. It's very sweet."

"Thank you, Mom."

Jiang Tiantian took it with a smile, put it to her mouth, and took a big bite.

Instantly, his eyes narrowed in satisfaction.

"Mm, it's really sweet and crispy, delicious!"

Seeing this, Zuo Mingyan laughed and continued to peel a persimmon in her hand.

Jiang Tiantian finished eating the persimmon in her hand in a few big bites, wiped her mouth, and said, "Mom, I'll help you."

Zuo Mingyan looked at Jiang Tiantian and found that she had really rested well.

He really looks eager to try.

So I encouraged him, "Okay, then help me hang up these peeled ones."

"Okay~"

Jiang Tiantian excitedly ran to the edge of the yard and observed the persimmons that were already hanging.

Then run back to the original place and start learning it in an imitative manner.

Use a rope to tie a knot on the hard stems of the peeled persimmons, and then string them together one by one.

"Keep a little distance between the two persimmons, leaving enough space so that the largest surface area can be exposed to the air..."

Zuo Mingyan observed her movements and gave her patient advice.

"Okay, Mom."

Jiang Tiantian is like a hardworking little bee. Once she gets the hang of it, she works very fast.

Soon, all the persimmons that Zuo Mingyan had peeled were strung together.

Then hang the strung persimmons in a ventilated place to dry in the sun.

After that, it’s just a matter of quietly waiting for the magic of time, sunlight and air.

After about a week, the persimmons will change from their original sweet, crispy and juicy taste to sweet and soft persimmon cakes.

Zuo Mingyan looked at the few persimmons left in the box and said with a smile,

"Okay, stop working. I'll peel the remaining ones and then we'll kill them all."

"Xiao Yun came over just now and said that Shao Bing has been weaned and asked if you wanted to take him back?"

"Can I take it back now?"

Jiang Tiantian asked in surprise after hearing this.

Zuo Mingyan smiled and nodded, "Xiao Yun said that if you find it troublesome and don't want to raise it yourself, it's okay, just keep it at her house and she will help you raise it..."

"No, I need to pick up Shaobing..."

Jiang Tiantian quickly interrupted Zuo Mingyan and said, "A family should be together."

How can we let Shaobing wander around outside?

Although Shaobing’s real family might be there, Jiang Tiantian has always believed that Shaobing’s fate is no longer the same as theirs.

It’s better to separate them.

Zuo Mingyan laughed, "I told Xiaoyun that you definitely want to take her home and raise her yourself."

"While you have nothing to do now, go and bring the sesame cake back."

"Oh, okay, thanks, mom."

Jiang Tiantian hugged Zuo Mingyan gratefully and ran out in a hurry.

…

In more than a month, Shaobing has grown a lot.

From a very weak little lamb, he has transformed into the energetic young man he is today.

He is the healthiest and tallest lamb among the three lambs born to the same mother.

Cai Xiaoyun's family didn't often keep Shaobing in the sheep pen.

"… Shaobing is a little different from other sheep. He doesn't like being locked up and prefers to walk around freely outside."

Cai Xiaoyun took Jiang Tiantian and walked towards their backyard.

As they walked, they recounted with Jiang Tiantian the great achievements that Shaobing had made in the past month.

There was no way. She was afraid that if she didn't explain it clearly first, Jiang Tiantian would not be able to bear it after she took the sesame cake home.

"Even if you put it in a sheepfold, to be honest, you can't keep it in."

"Shaobing always manages to get over the fence and escape somehow."

"By the time we found it, it had been wandering around outside for quite a while."

"It has eaten all the vegetables and leaves in the yard, even the furniture..."

Jiang Tiantian looked at the uneven green leafy vegetables in the yard, as well as the shorter fruit trees, whose lower leaves were obviously pulled out.

What's even more exaggerated is that the edges and corners of the tables and benches in the yard clearly show a lot of tooth marks...
