| Chapter 25 joy. | |
| "Grandpa, don't throw away the rabbit skin. You can make knee pads for grandpa and second grandpa, and you can also make scarves. We can all wear them when the time comes." Tian Sisi was chattering on the side, her voice was as gentle as an oriole, which made people's ears tingle. | |
| The old man's eyes narrowed, and he kept saying yes, and said that he would skin the rabbits himself when he got home. After the skin was done, he asked Mrs. Zhao to make grandma's scarf and gloves. Tian Sisi said in a delicate voice, "I will do it for grandpa and second grandpa first," which made the old man very happy. | |
| "Little flatterer." Tian Xinhua just couldn't stand Tian Sisi's flattery, so she whispered in Tian Sisi's ear. Tian Sisi glared at him angrily. Tian Xinhua smiled proudly. He loved to see grandma angry. Tian Sisi had an idea, stopped and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, I can't walk anymore." | |
| When the old man saw that his grandson was out of breath from exhaustion, her face was red and covered with sweat, he couldn't help but feel distressed. Grandma had never climbed a mountain for such a long time, so he hurriedly said: "Come, Grandpa will carry Grandma down the mountain." | |
| Tian Sisi was shocked. How could she let the old man carry her? He shook his head hurriedly and said, "No, grandpa will go by himself. I want brother Xinhua to carry me." | |
| After saying that, Tian Sisi showed a proud smile to Tian Xinhua. Seeing it as provocation in Tian Xinhua's eyes, he secretly gritted his teeth in hatred, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't let his grandfather carry it all at his old age, right? He glared at Tian Sisi, handed the small basket he was carrying to his younger brother Qinghua, bent down, and motioned for Tian Sisi to lie down. | |
| The old man didn't insist. Rural children are very strong, so even Xinhua with the weight of grandma can carry it for ten miles without any problem. Tian Sisi lay comfortably on Tian Xinhua's back, patting the top of his head with her hands from time to time, telling him to walk faster. Tian Xinhua was so angry that he deliberately leaned to one side, and Tian Sisi screamed in fright. He hugged Tian Xinhua's neck so hard that Tian Xinhua almost lost his breath and rolled his eyes. | |
| Tian Shouhua hurriedly opened Tian Sisi's hand and scolded his brother with a smile: "You deserve it. Who told you to scare grandma on purpose?" | |
| Tian Xinhua coughed several times before he regained his composure and glared at Tian Sisi fiercely. Tian Sisi was not afraid at all. She could see now that this cousin pretended to be fierce, but in fact he couldn't be more soft-hearted. As long as she said a few nice words, Tian Xinhua would definitely not be angry. | |
| "Brother Xinhua, I will give you the chicken legs to eat when you get back. Don't be angry." Tian Sisi leaned close to Tian Xinhua's ear to say nice things. | |
| The little girl's voice was delicate and soft, and the cream on her face was so fragrant that Tian Xinhua sneezed several times and said, "What are you putting on your face? It smelt me to death." | |
| This time, Tian Sisi was offended again. She pouted angrily, "I won't give you the chicken legs." | |
| The old man smiled and watched the noise of his little grandchildren, and was in a very good mood. Soon they went down the mountain. At this time, everyone in the village was working, and there was no one at the foot of the mountain. They didn't have to worry about being seen. A few people entered the yard, and Mrs. Zhao was drying the quilt outside, beating with a wooden stick. | |
| Seeing Tian Sisi lying on Tian Xinhua's back, she smiled and said, "Are my legs sore? I wonder if there are any wild animals on the mountain now? Look, you didn't listen to my mother-in-law and walked away in vain. Don't complain about leg pain at night." | |
| Mrs. Zhao didn't believe the white ape's words at all, but the old man still joined in the fun. She walked over and hugged Tian Sisi off Tian Xinhua's back, teasing her. Tian Sisi smiled slyly at Mrs. Zhao, hugged her neck with both hands and whispered: "Mother, we caught a lot of rabbits on the mountain, as well as pheasants and pheasant eggs!" | |
| The old man also gave Mrs. Zhao a mysterious wink and asked her to come into the room to talk. Mrs. Zhao looked at her husband in surprise, saw him nodding slightly, and happily kissed Tian Sisi again and again on the face. Tian Shouhua entered the house first with a big basket on his back. Tian Xinhua looked around carefully to see if there was anyone, and closed the doors and windows. The cautious look made Tian Sisi laugh non-stop, as if she was doing underground work. | |
| Tian Shouhua took out five rabbits, two pheasants and a dozen eggs from the basket. Every time he took out something, Mrs. Zhao recited a Buddhist chant, her eyes as bright as diamonds. The old lady was very decisive and quickly gave the order. The old man, Tian Shouhua and Tian Xinhua went to kill the rabbits. | |
| It was still early now, not even eleven o'clock yet, just in time to cook lunch. Mrs. Zhao asked Qinghua to go to the field to inform Tian Bajin and the others, asking them to come to her house for dinner at noon. She also asked Donghua to go to Tian Bajin's house to ask Er Niangniang to come and help cook. Judging from Mrs. Zhao's attitude, she was preparing to have a good dinner together. | |
| Li Yuedi quickly came over with her cows and cows. When she saw so many wild animals on the ground, she was so shocked that she couldn't help but chant to Buddha, "Oh, oh, what a good day today is? This is really a blessing from the Bodhisattva!" | |
| Tian Sisi heard it funny, Bodhisattva doesn't care whether you have meat or not! This is all thanks to me. Mrs. Zhao and Li Yuedi are both quick hands and feet. The two sisters-in-law cooperated tacitly. They first bled the two chickens, picked them up in a bowl, and put some salt. The chicken blood is a good thing. After the blood solidified, they cut it into pieces and stir-fried some pickles. It tasted very good. | |
| Mrs. Zhao and Li Yuedi threw the two chickens into the steaming large noodle bucket. They held the chickens with tongs and soaked them in boiling water for a few minutes. Then they fished them out and quickly removed the feathers from the chickens. Tian Sisi saw four hands flying non-stop, and soon there was a pile of chicken feathers on the ground. She really admired today's women, who could cook, kill chickens and ducks, make clothes, shoes, and knit sweaters. | |
| Her mother was this type in her previous life. When she was a child, the clothes she wore were all designed and made by her with a sewing machine, and those sweaters with various patterns would arouse the envy of her classmates every time she wore them. Therefore, when she was in elementary school, Tian Sisi was very popular with male classmates in the class because Tian Sisi dressed up beautifully. | |
| Zhong Juying once taught her how to knit a sweater, but her hands were too clumsy. There was either an extra stitch here or a missing stitch there. It didn't matter, and she could wear it, but it was a bit ugly. But in the eyes of the perfectionist Zhong Juying, it didn't work. She scolded her so much that Tian Sisi was so angry that she simply stopped learning. Anyway, they were selling them in the store. | |
| The same is true for other jobs. No matter what she does, she can't get Zhong Juying's praise and always finds fault with her. As time goes by, Tian Sisi is too lazy to learn. Therefore, Tian Sisi in the previous life really didn't know anything. Especially under the background of my mother Zhong Juying, her daughter is simply a typical example of negative teaching materials. | |
| Tian Sisi smiled mockingly, why did she think about the past again? At this time, Mrs. Zhao and Li Yuedi had already disemboweled the two chickens, cleaned the contents one by one, and placed them in bowls. It only took a quarter of an hour. Outside, the old man and Tian Xinhua also completely peeled off the furs of the five rabbits and hung them on bamboo poles in the backyard. They could then skin them after they had dried a little in the shade. | |
| Mrs. Zhao was not willing to throw away the internal organs in the rabbit's belly. She cleaned them all and put them in a large basin. She could cut them up and stir-fry them, or make a few bowls of vegetables. These wild animals were very fat, and there was a lot of suet in their stomachs. Everyone was very happy to see the golden pieces of suet. Everyone is short of oil in their stomachs these days! | |
| The two old ladies discussed making a rabbit and a chicken for noon, frying a bowl of chicken offal, a bowl of wild eggs, and some other vegetables, and cooking a big pot of dry rice. It was even richer than the Chinese New Year. Tian Sisi had just quietly gone to the kitchen and put a few kilograms of rice in the rice vat while everyone was not paying attention., and then added half a kilogram of oil to the oil pot. She thought she was doing it secretly, but the old man had noticed her a long time ago. After seeing her sneaking out of the kitchen, he walked in and found a few grains of rice scattered on the ground and a few drops of oil dripping on the stove. The old man smiled. | |
