Chapter Thirty-Eight: Greasy
waited until the water in the basin was cold, and the three of them poured the water and packed it up and climbed into bed, Tian Tian was the youngest, Tian Rou and Tian Yue'er were afraid that she would be cold, so Tian Tian just lay between the two, very warm.
"It would be nice if the three of us could sleep together in the future, I won't be afraid of cold feet anymore."
When Tian Tian got up in the morning, the eldest sister and Tian Liu'er had already gotten up, she immediately turned over and sat up, rubbed her eyes that were still a little fluffy and sleepy, and said, "Eldest sister, Sister Liu'er, why don't you call me?" โ
Tian Rou tied the belt around her waist, turned her head and said with a smile: "Today, the second uncle wants to help chop firewood, I don't have to chop firewood, I can go directly to wash vegetables, you can sleep more without you." โ
"Hmm...... So what is Sister Liu'er doing so early? โ
Tian Tian finally came to her senses a little, but her eyes were still slightly squinted, and she was a little uncomfortable with the light at the moment.
While holding her clothes and dressing them, she rolled her eyes hard, and her eyes were not focused on Tian Liu'er's body, she could only hear her thin voice: "I'm used to getting up early." โ
"Huh? I don't see you on weekdays. โ
"I'm in the room."
"After that, I woke up in the morning, walked around the yard more often, and breathed in the fresh air!"
Tian Liu'er looked at Tian Tian with a smile, and couldn't help but step forward to tighten her sleeves for her, and then responded: "Okay." โ
After the three sisters finished freshening up, when they went out, they just saw Li open the door, and the three of them all shouted sweetly 'milk', Li raised his eyes and was a little surprised when he saw Tian Liu'er, and then nodded and went to the well to fetch water to wash.
"The milk is amazing, and you still insist on using cold water on such a cold day!"
Tian Liu'er couldn't help but shudder when she saw that Li's face still didn't change when she washed her face, while Tian Tian pouted, tilted her head and said, "Actually, washing your face with cold water is good for your skin!" โ
Tian Rou couldn't help but knock her head and said, "It's good for your skin, why don't you go?" Milk is leaving hot water for us, the time to get up in the morning is about the same, but the hot water on this stove is limited, you didn't find that in addition to milk, Ye is also taking cold water? โ
"I really haven't found ......"
"I'm busy when I wake up in the morning, who's going to pay attention to this?"
Tian Tian was very dissatisfied with the eldest sister's move of knocking her head at every turn, and when she heard Tian Rou speak like this at this moment, she couldn't help but mutter, the three sisters walked to the kitchen together, but found that the back door of the kitchen was still closed, Tian Rou and Tian Tian looked at each other, and went to open the door, and sure enough, they didn't see the second uncle's person at all.
Okay, so this second uncle promised his master to do things on the surface, but secretly he was still lazy? The sun is almost up to the buttocks, and there is no one in sight, and the firewood has not been chopped out, how can I cook?
But...... You can't run over and knock on the door of the second uncle's room and tell him to get up and chop wood!
Tian Tian sighed helplessly, Tian Rou could only roll up her sleeves, picked up the axe from the door and walked out, Tian Liu'er couldn't help but ask when she saw this: "Sister Tian Rou, what are you doing here?" โ
"Chopping firewood, my lord said it last night, the firewood at home is gone."
Tian Tian pouted, while moving the stool under the table, took out the basin resting on the bucket, and prepared to go out to the courtyard outside to pick some vegetables.
"Didn't you mean...... Let the second uncle help? โ
When Tian Liu'er talked about the second uncle, her voice couldn't help but lower a little, Tian Tian nodded in the direction of the door and said, "I haven't seen anyone on the three poles this day, don't count on it." โ
"Then I'll help!"
"Go, go, go, how can your hand with an embroidery needle wield this axe?"
Without waiting for Tian Rou to express her opinion, Tian Tian touched Tian Liu'er with her small body board with a basin, Tian Liu'er was slightly dissatisfied when she said this: "It's not okay to chop wood, I'll choose vegetables and wash vegetables with you!" โ
Tian Tian was not polite to her, nodded and the two walked out, Tian Rou first chopped some firewood for use in the morning, and then came in to make a fire, at breakfast, the second Tian Xinglong was reprimanded by the old man Tian, and immediately went to chop firewood after eating, and Tian Tian actually remembered the eldest aunt and Tian Yue'er who left home overnight, no matter how much he hated their actions, they were always a family, and Tian Tian didn't want to cause them anything wrong because of himself.
So she used Mu Qinghan as an excuse again and slipped out, actually wanting to go out and see if she could find them, although she also knew that the probability was very small, but ...... It's better than staying at home and doing nothing.
Of course, when no one was with her, she released the pickup, and seemed to be used to the company of the pickup, with such a little guy flying by her side, Tian Tian still felt a little more secure, probably because the pickup truck could be regarded as crossing over with her, and he could talk to her, what a good chat partner!
But just after walking a few steps, she heard someone behind her as if she was shouting her, she turned around and saw a teenage boy carrying a small bamboo basket dripping water running towards her, Tian Tian looked at the boy in front of him in wonder, and wanted to ask: Are you calling me?
Of course, it was impossible for her to expose the fact that she didn't know him, but stood in place and waited for him to run in front of her, the expression on her face was a little embarrassed, Tian Tian, who didn't know who the other party was, could only try to make herself look normal, but ...... She really can't get up normal, because she doesn't know if the person in front of her is familiar or not, should she smile or keep a straight face?
"Tian Tian, how are you doing?"
"Uh...... Not bad. โ
"Come on! You take this. โ
The boy handed her the bamboo basket in his hand, Tian Tian immediately retracted his hand, and looked at him with some surprise, but his heart was tumbling with countless thoughts, plus Pickup was also speculating about what the person in front of her was doing, she was a little confused for a while, and the voice of Pickup in her ears was the voice of the guy in front of her.
"What's wrong? I finally found an opportunity to sneak out and personally go to the river to catch fish to make up for your mother's body, didn't your mother give birth? โ
"Uh...... Thanks, but what's so embarrassing about that? Otherwise...... Can you take it back and eat it yourself? โ
"Hehe, it's not like you don't know what I do at home, where is this thing still rare? But during the Chinese New Year, I went on a long trip with my father, and I didn't come back for long, otherwise I would have come to see you a long time ago, by the way, what about your sister? โ
Tian Tian listened to him inexplicably, and said in his heart, how do I know what you do at home, but when I heard this, it seemed that something was wrong, and when I looked at this guy when he mentioned the eldest sister, there was a trace of discomfort on his smiling face?
Hey? It seems to be greasy! Could it be that this guy likes the eldest sister?
"The eldest sister is working at home, I have something to go out now, if you have time, go to my sister, the eldest sister is responsible for the food at home recently!"
Anyway, regardless of whether he has thoughts about the eldest sister or not, Tian Tian at least understands that she can't accept this guy's things, not to mention that she doesn't know who he is, even if she knows, when she sees that this baby is going to Tian Rou, she is not so uninteresting, besides, let him go to Tian Rou by himself, she can also know from it that this guy who is not even a fish is sacred!
It's good to understand, what is the attitude of the eldest sister towards others, if the attitude is not good, and then meet, it is good to have an attitude to respond, right?
"That's it, I'm fine anyway."
"Well, there you go!"
As soon as Tian Tian's words fell, the boy ran to his house with his things, Tian Tian saw his anxious appearance, and his heart became more curious, so he ...... went out to look for the eldest aunt and Tian Yue'er's thoughts, so she put it aside, she wanted to know if the peach blossom of the eldest sister was rotten.
So, Tian Tian followed behind the other party and turned home.
She stood at the corner of the gate, watched the boy enter the yard, and after shouting a few times, Tian Rou walked out of the house, and when she saw that he also had a momentary stunned look on his face, she couldn't see the joy and anger, Tian Tian looked at the eldest sister's unchanged face for ten thousand years, and she wasn't sure if she didn't like the kid in front of her.
"Tian Rou, this ...... This is the fish I went to catch in the river specifically, for ...... For the aunt to make up for the body. โ
Poofโโ! Tian Tian smiled very unkindly in his heart, this stupid boy is really honest, he finally met his eldest sister, but he stuttered when he spoke!
"Thanks, would you like to come in and sit down for a while?"
Hey? The eldest sister invited him to sit for a while? Seemingly...... Tian Tian poked his head into it a little, only to find that when his thoughts were flying, the eldest sister's face, I don't know when, raised a faint smile!
Hey? It seems that there is really a drama!
"No...... No need. โ
The boy smiled innocently and honestly, and then scratched the back of his head with his hand, Tian Tian couldn't help but be a little suspicious, could this be the signature move of an honest man?
"This fish is still alive, you can hurry up and make soup for your aunt while it is fresh, I ...... I'll go back first. โ
After saying that, the child turned around and wanted to walk out, Tian Tian immediately retracted his body, and was about to run behind the big tree not far away to hide for a while, when he heard Tian Rou's slightly anxious voice.
"Zhou Cheng! You wait......"
Tian Tian immediately stopped his steps, nodded secretly, and said in his heart: It turns out that this boy's name is Zhou Cheng?
She quietly poked her head out again, fortunately her family was at the back of the village, and there were not many people coming and going, plus Tian Tian was lively on weekdays, even if someone saw her standing at the door of her house at this moment, no one would feel strange.
After a while, Tian Rou came out of the house again, but she was holding a pale pink embroidered handkerchief in her hand, she vaguely remembered that it was the eldest sister's favorite handkerchief, saying that Tian Liuer embroidered it for her on her birthday.
When Tian Rou peeled off the handkerchief layer by layer, revealing the things wrapped in the handkerchief, Tian Tian couldn't help but open his eyes wide......
