Shou Jizu greeted Tian Sisi and the others with a cheerful smile, and even asked Tian Manlan to take out some tasty snacks from the house for the children. Tian Manlan rolled her eyes at her husband. Wouldn't she know how to entertain her own nephew and niece when they visit? Was there really a need for him to instruct her like that?
Tian Manlan took out a plate of arborvitae, left over from last year, and let Tian Sisi and the others peel and eat them. Arborvitae was the only snack presentable in their household. Tian Sisi was actually quite fond of arborvitae. The ones Tian Manlan took out were sesame-flavored arborvitae, smaller in size but very fragrant.
Tian Sisi picked up an arborvitae and pressed hard on the two 'eyes' on it, and the arborvitae cracked open, revealing the black shell inside. After removing the black shell, the golden nuts inside were exposed, and the fragrance was overwhelming.
