| Chapter 3 The favored original owner. | |
| "Mother, I want to eat green vegetable rice cakes and vegetable dumplings. I want my mother to make them, not my mother's." Tian Sisi stood up and asked Mrs. Zhao to put on cotton pants, coquettishly, and slept all night. The memories of the original owner slowly came out, like a movie. Tian Sisi also knew that although the original owner's adoptive mother Zhu Aiqing was very good to the original owner, the food cooked by Zhu Aiqing was really not flattering. | |
| "Okay, grandma, I will cook whatever you want to eat. I have washed the vegetables a long time ago. I will cook them now. You can eat them after you wash your face. Grandma, please eat more. Sui, you have lost all the flesh on your face due to this disease. What a sin!" | |
| Mrs. Zhao narrowed her eyes with a smile, enjoying her granddaughter's coquettishness very much. She has more than a dozen grandchildren, but she raised only Tian Sisi. In addition, this granddaughter is good-looking and blessed. Mrs. Zhao treats Tian Sisi better than her own granddaughter Tian Lili (Tian Aiguo's youngest daughter, 11 years old). | |
| Tian Sisi is wearing a bright red hooded ski sweater, which is considered the most fashionable dress nowadays. From the memory of the original owner, she knows that this dress is a New Year gift brought back from the province by her uncle Tian Mantong to her niece. Inside the ski sweater is a light yellow velvet sweatshirt, and the pants are dark red corduroy pants made by herself, which are also velvet sweatshirts. On her feet are a pair of red nylon socks, and a pair of red homemade cotton shoes with a lot of flannel padding inside, which is very warm. | |
| Old Mrs. Zhao wanted to put shoes on Tian Sisi, but she refused. It was okay to let the old lady dress herself, but she really couldn't accept it if an old lady squatted in front of her and put on shoes for her. Old Mrs. Zhao followed her and tied Tian Sisi into braids. Old Mrs. Zhao's hands were very light and it didn't hurt at all. Unlike her mother Zhong Juying in her previous life, every time she tied her braids, she shed tears from the pain. | |
| "We will wear cloth shoes at home, and when we go out, we will wear the pair of red fur shoes your uncle bought for you." Mrs. Zhao said while tying her pigtails. | |
| There is a reason for Mrs. Zhao to say this. The original owner is a very capable little girl who loves to dress up. She has never liked to wear the cloth shoes made by Mrs. Zhao. They are too tacky, but Tian Sisi likes them. In later generations, such handmade cloth shoes are very expensive. She glanced atI noticed the red leather shoes on the horizontal board under the bed. They were square-toed boots, a bit like the Martin boots of later generations. However, today's leather shoes are certainly not as good-looking as those of later generations, so Tian Sisi really dislikes this pair of leather shoes that are very fashionable in the eyes of others. | |
| "Well, the cotton shoes made by my mother are comfortable to wear." Tian Sisi's words made Mrs. Zhao happy. Grandma has become a lot more sensible due to her illness. In the past, she would not say that the shoes made by her are comfortable, she would only say rustic! | |
| Mrs. Zhao tied two braids on Tian Sisi and two red-headed flowers. She said with satisfaction, "My dear girl is so beautiful." Then she went out to cook rice cakes with vegetables for her granddaughter. Tian Sisi stepped on the horizontal board under the bed and got out of bed. The bed she slept on was an old-fashioned carved bed. It was very high. There was usually a long wooden board underneath for people to step on and off the bed, and where shoes could be placed. | |
| Tian Sisi walked to the table in front and looked into the mirror. The little girl inside had slim shoulders and a slim waist, a tall figure, an oval face, big black and white eyes, long eyelashes, like a fan, fluttering, and the bangs on her forehead were curled to form a beautiful arc. Although she was dressed a bit rustic, she was still very beautiful, like a doll. | |
| Because she had been ill for more than ten days, her face was a bit pale and her chin was a bit pointed, but this did not affect the beauty of this body. Tian Sisi was stunned by the reflection of herself in the mirror, and then she became happy. The most dissatisfied thing about her in her previous life was her appearance. Although she was not ugly, she was definitely not a beauty. Now that she is wearing this dress, she is really making a fortune. | |
| Tian Sisi thought about the old and withered appearance of Aunt Zhaodi she had seen in her previous life, and got excited. No, since she is Tian Zhaodi now, she can no longer follow the old path. She must live a good life. Tian Sisi cheered for herself secretly. | |
| "Ah, it's time to eat!" Mrs. Zhao's voice sounded outside. | |
| "Here we come!" Tian Sisi responded, put down the mirror and ran out. | |
| Outside in the main room, Mr. Tian, Tian Manyin and his two younger brothers, 8-year-old Tian Donghua and 6-year-old Tian Qinghua, were sitting in the main room. They were already eating breakfast. It was soaked rice made from yesterday’s leftovers. Pickled rice is made by boiling the leftovers in water and steaming the leftovers on top. In fact, it tastes quite good. However, some experts later said that soaked rice is not good for the stomach, so Tian Sisi didn’t eat it much. | |
| "Grandpa, daddy, mommy, Donghua, Tsinghua, Happy New Year!" Tian Sisi greeted her family with a smile, and then went to the kitchen to get hot water to wash her face and brush her teeth. Speaking of which, she was lucky. Although the original owner was an adopted daughter, her family treated her better than her own biological daughter. Otherwise, the original owner would not have developed such a simple, delicate and pretentious character. | |
| "Okay, okay, grandma's temperament has moved a lot, which is a blessing in disguise!" Mr. Tian responded to Tian Sisi with a smile, and turned to his second son Tian Manyin. | |
| "Well, it looks like she has moved around a bit. Grandma didn't like to talk much before, but now it's better. The little girl just needs to move around a bit." Tian Manyin nodded in agreement with the old man's words. | |
| "Mom, don't spoil me. Why do you have to cook breakfast for her alone? Isn't it enough to make rice?" Zhu Aiqing watched her mother-in-law turn on a small stove for her daughter and glared at Tian Sisi. This daughter has been spoiled by her parents-in-law and her husband. She needs to be well-fed and well-clothed. She can't afford any work in the countryside. Which man will dare to marry such a girl in the future? What's the use of having a good appearance? | |
| "It's okay. My grandmother is just sick and her mouth has no taste. It's okay to open a small stove. It's not like our family can't afford it." Mr. Tian refused. In his opinion, it is normal for his granddaughter to open a small stove. The little girl has to be pampered and raised. | |
| Tian Manyin nodded in agreement, and Zhu Aiqing rolled her eyes, so she was the stepmother? Forget it, the worst thing to do is to give A-nan more dowry in the future, so that she can marry closer and be taken care of in the future. Zhu Aiqing sighed. As the only sane person in the family, she had to think longer term. | |
| After Tian Sisi washed up, she took out a large bowl of green vegetable rice cake from the kitchen that Mrs. Zhao had cooked and steamed in the pot. White soft rice cake slices and green vegetables. A familiar fragrance poured into Tian Sisi's nose. It smelled so good! She sniffed and slowly moved the bowl towards the table. When Mrs. Zhao saw it, she rushed up to hold it for her and shouted: | |
| "Oh, you silly girl, you don't have the strength to hold such a big bowl. Why don't you ask your concubine and mother to hold it for you? What if it's hot?" | |
| "Mom, just let her get it by herself. She is a 10-year-old girl who can't even hold a meal? Zhong Yuying of Zhong Liangcai's family was already half a strong laborer when she was 10 years old." Zhu Aiqing, who had just made up her mind not to care, couldn't help it. Is this raising a princess or a daughter? They are all pretty young ladies who can reach out for food and open their mouths. | |
| Zhong Yuying? Why does this name sound so familiar? When Tian Sisi heard the name coming out of her mother's mouth, her mind moved. However, she never remembered who Zhong Yuying was, but she felt that Zhong Yuying should be a very important person. After thinking about it for a while, Tian Sisi thought about it, maybe she would suddenly think about it later. | |
| "My daughter-in-law has a small birthday, so she can't compare with those who have birthdays in the first half of the year. Besides, she has just recovered from illness, so how can she have any strength? Look at her little face, which is so thin that she has no flesh at all. You, a mother-in-law, don't even know how distressed you are." Mrs. Zhao was unhappy and complained about her daughter-in-law. | |
| Zhu Aiqing saw her daughter's thin and sharp chin, her almost transparent white skin, and her deep-set eye sockets. After all, she felt sorry for her daughter. "She has lost a lot of weight, and she asked for it. She had to go to the river to set off firecrackers. Now you know how powerful she is!" | |
| Although her words were powerful, Tian Sisi was not afraid at all. This mother-in-law had always been sharp-tongued, but she also loved her daughter in her heart. | |
| "Okay, don't talk about grandma. Didn't she go with Zhonghua Weihua (Tian Aiguo's two sons, Tian Zhonghua is 15 years old and Tian Weihua is 13 years old). Who knew she would fall into an ice cave?" Mrs. Zhao said good things for her granddaughter. | |
| "Mom, when I see the Cinnan River in the future, I will stay far away and never get close to it." Tian Sisi promised Zhu Aiqing that she would go to the river to play when the weather gets hot, she added in her mind. |
