Chapter 23 Going up the mountain.

Tian Xinhua was so angry that he really wanted to beat his brother up. He would be so embarrassed that he had to go to his grandma's house. Mrs. Zhao smiled and put the chopsticks and bowl into their hands, "Eat quickly, why are you so polite at the eldest lady's house? You are all growing taller. How can you grow taller if you don't eat enough?"

Speaking of which, you don't have to be too polite when you go to your great-grandfather's house. Thinking of this, Tian Xinhua and Tian Shouhua stopped being pretentious. They took the bowls and chopsticks and started eating with big mouthfuls. Although they had eaten breakfast at home, they could eatWhat was served was sweet potato porridge and pickles. Tian Xinhua ate two large bowls and was just full of water. He is a half-grown man and a poor man. The three of them are the best at eating. With such a large bowl, Tian Xinhua can eat three large bowls of dry rice in one go.

Mrs. Zhao watched the three brothers eat with a smile, and kept urging them to pick up vegetables, "Eat slowly, there is still rice in the pot. From now on, when you are hungry, just come here to eat. Don't be afraid of being embarrassed. Your uncle and aunt can still satisfy you."

"Madam, the food you cook is so delicious. It's much more delicious than my mother's." Tian Qinghua swallowed a mouthful of food and said.

Mrs. Zhao smiled and narrowed her eyes, "Silly boy, your mother is reluctant to put in oil. Your mother is a good cook. Every business in the village has to ask your mother to cook. Oh, what is this!"

The old lady really didn't understand. It didn't mean that life in the new society would get better and better, but why it became like this now. She couldn't even eat enough to eat. She felt really bad when she saw these children who couldn't eat enough and were as thin as bamboo poles. However, her and the old man's abilities were limited and they could only help the children at home as much as possible. Like other families in the village, she was also powerless!

Tian Xinhua and the others were almost full after eating a bowl of rice because they had the sweet potato porridge at home. They consciously took the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen. When the rice was finished and Tian Sisi didn't come down, Tian Xinhua knew that this girl was sleeping in again. He smiled and said to Mrs. Zhao, "I'll wake up Grandma."

After saying that, he went upstairs and came to Tian Sisi's room. This girl's face was red from sleeping, and she couldn't help but laugh. She knows how to lie to others. Yesterday, she vowed to go to the mountain to pick up hares, and she deceived them all, but she was sleeping on the bed!

Tian Xinhua pinched Tian Sisi's nose. Tian Sisi snorted a few times and slapped it on Tian Xinhua's hand. She turned over and went back to sleep. Tian Xinhua was not discouraged and continued to pinch, finally waking up Tian Sisi. She opened her eyes with hatred, "Who the bastard is bothering me?"

"Lazy pig, the sun is shining on your butt. If you don't get up, you will have to go to the mountain to collect firewood."

Yes, I agreed to pick up hares. Tian Sisi sat up quickly, took the clothes on the bedside and put them on. When she was halfway through wearing them, she remembered that there was Tian Xinhua in the room. She hurriedly shrank into the bed and yelled at Tian Xinhua: "Why are you still here? I'm changing clothes! Do you know that there are differences between men and women?"

"Oh, you know how to use idioms. How old are you? Just thinking about the difference between men and women, huh, little yellow-haired girl, what's so interesting about it." Tian Xinhua rolled his eyes, but still walked out.

Tian Sisi then remembered that this body was just that of an eight-year-old kid. She shook her head and smiled. Instead of wearing the ski shirt, she went to find an old floral cotton-padded jacket in the box. She was going to the mountains later, so be sure not to tear the ski shirt. This was my uncle's wish and couldn't be treated casually.

The clothes were put on, but her hair was not tied up. She took out a cookie box from the drawer with a pattern of Chang'e flying to the moon. The box was heart-shaped and all the cookies inside had been eaten. The box was used by the original owner to store hair accessories such as hair flowers. Tian Sisi opened the lid of the box and found most of the box of colorful hair flowers inside. She glanced at the pink floral cotton-padded jacket she was wearing and picked out two pink silk flowers.

Tian Sisi took the wooden comb and silk flowers and went downstairs. When she saw Mrs. Zhao, she acted coquettishly and said, "Mother, I don't know how to tie my hair. Please help me tie it."

Mrs. Zhao hurriedly wiped her hands on her apron and happily tied up her granddaughter's hair. While tying it back, she asked, "What do you want to eat? I will make it for you."

"I want to eat egg fried rice with some pickles."

"Okay, I'll fry it for you after combing your hair." Mrs. Zhao was quick with her hands and feet, and the two braids were quickly tied. Only when she tied her hair again did she realize that the color had changed, "Grandma, why don't you wear the red hairpin your uncle bought?"

"I want to match the color with my clothes. The one my uncle bought is bright red and it doesn't match the clothes I'm wearing today."

Only then did everyone notice that Tian Sisi was wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket. This cotton-padded jacket was made by Zhu Aiqing. At that time, Tian Sisi didn't like it because it didn't look good, so she put it in the box after only wearing it a few times. Unexpectedly, she actually wore it today. Seeing everyone's surprised looks, Tian Sisi had to explain:

"Aren't we going to the mountains today? I'm afraid that my new clothes will be torn."

The sun was really out in the west. When would grandma think about whether she would ruin her clothes? After a new year, she was really sensible. She was so happy that Mrs. Zhao kissed Tian Sisi hard on the face and went to make scrambled eggs and fried rice for her granddaughter. Tian Sisi wiped the saliva from her face and shouted to Mrs. Zhao: "Mother, please eat less."

Tian Sisi ran to wash her face, brush her teeth, and apply facial cream. She used the Ya cream she bought last time. In fact, she also used Ya cream in her previous life. She felt that it had a good moisturizing effect on the skin, so she didn't take out some high-end skin care products from the mall to use. The main reason was that she couldn't explain it. Moreover, she was just a child now, and her skin was already delicate, so it was better to use soft Ya cream.

Then they applied clam oil to their hands. Tian Xinhua and the others next to them looked at the series of actions of their cousin. They were dumbfounded. Why is it so troublesome to wash your face and rub so many things on your body? Alas, A-nan loves to do it. What they don't know is that Tian Sisi's dress up is the most time-saving. It will become more and more troublesome for women in the future. If she doesn't do it for half an hour, she will never go out.

When Tian Sisi finished eating, it was almost nine o'clock. The old man took out a big bamboo basket and put in a hatchet, a kettle, a hemp rope and other things. Tian Shouhua hurriedly took it and carried it on his back. He and Tian Xinhua saw that the grandfather followed them and looked at each other. Although they felt strange, they didn't ask any more questions.

Tian Sisi also carried a small bamboo basket, which was taken away by Tian Xinhua, and a few people set off towards the mountain in a mighty manner. The Tian family was at the foot of Yuequan Mountain, so it only took about ten minutes to get to the foot of the mountain. Because villagers often came to the mountain to cut firewood, there was a road leading directly to the top of the mountain. Although it was a bit steep, it was still walkable.

At this time, the mountain was a bit deserted. Except for some evergreen trees, the other trees were all bare, with a few dead leaves on their heads. It was very desolate. Tian Sisi walked and thought, thinking about finding an opportunity to release the things in the space. However, the old man and Tian Xinhua insisted that she and Donghua Tsinghua be in the middle. There were people in front and behind, so she had no chance to take things.

When they climbed halfway up the mountain, the old man saw that his granddaughter was out of breath, so he asked everyone to take a rest. He took out the water bottle and let several children drink water. Tian Qinghua saw that he had not seen a hare after climbing for a long time, so he asked Tian Sisi: "Anan, didn't you say that a hare was picked up? Why not yet?"

"Why are you so anxious? We have just gone up the mountain, anyway." Tian Sisi was also anxious. There were so many people staring at her and she couldn't get anything. She thought about it and told the old man that she had to go to relieve herself. The old man originally wanted Tian Xinhua to accompany her, but Tian Sisi refused. There were people following her, so how could she put her things away?

Tian Sisi walked to a place with lots of grass and took out a dozen eggs from the space. The ones she took were grass eggs, which were a little small and about the same size as wild eggs. Then she shouted loudly, "Grandpa, come and look, there are eggs here."

The old man and the others heard the sound and walked over, and sure enough they saw a handful of eggs in the grass. "Ah, you are really lucky. Instead of picking up the hare, you picked up wild eggs. Yes, the trip was not in vain. The wild eggs are delicious when fried."

Tian Qinghua smacked his mouth and remembered the fried wild eggs with chives that he had eaten before. It tasted so delicious! Tian Xinhua and the others were also very happy. A dozen or so wild eggs were quite a lot, enough to stir-fry a large bowl of vegetables. Tian Xinhua picked up the eggs one by one from the grass and carefully put them into the basket. He also put a few handfuls of hay on them to avoid breaking the eggs. ps: I'm really sorry today. I made a mistake last night. I'm updating the morning update now. Please forgive me!
