Chapter 66 - 065 Prepare gift packages
The next day was Sunday, and Tian Sisi slept in until the sun was high in the sky before she slowly got out of bed. By the time she dressed and went downstairs, the Tian Family had all gone to work, leaving only the very old and the very young at home. Granny Zhao was washing Qingming grass by the well in the front yard. Upon seeing the disheveled Tian Sisi, Granny Zhao quickly stood up, wiped her hands on her apron, and picked up a wooden comb to do her granddaughter’s hair.
"Granny, are you going to make Qingming Cakes later?"
"Mm, Granny will make some extra to give to your friends from yesterday. They all helped out, so we need to thank them."
"Then Granny has to make both the savory and sweet ones. I promised them yesterday that I would give them both types of cakes."
"Alright, we’ll make both, and some for our Ah Nan too." Granny Zhao quickly tied up her granddaughter’s hair, today giving Tian Sisi two round buns and adorning them with a pink silk flower, which made the little girl look incredibly cute and lively. Granny Zhao planted a loving kiss on Tian Sisi’s chubby face. Every time she finished combing Ah Nan’s hair, Granny Zhao would look at her granddaughter’s cute little face and feel the urge to kiss her again and again, never getting enough.
Tian Sisi fetched the egg fried rice Granny Zhao had kept warm in the kitchen. There was a bit too much, as Granny always prepared a large bowl for her granddaughter’s breakfast, always hoping that one day her granddaughter’s appetite would suddenly increase, turning from a kitten’s stomach to an elephant’s.
Tian Sisi took a few golden bites of the scrambled eggs and fed them to Granny Zhao, who was so delighted that her eyes squinted into slits. At that moment, Jianguo brought a basket of Qingming grass in from outside. Having heard his grandma mention that she would be making a lot of Qingming Cakes, Jianguo had thoughtfully finished breakfast early and dragged Weiguo with him to pick Qingming grass from the mountain. In no time, he had gathered a basketful.
"Jianguo is such a good boy, knowing grandma still needed Qingming grass." Granny Zhao was very pleased; her grandson was indeed very considerate.
