Unconsciously, it had been almost two months since she and Tian Xinhua arrived at Huangyuan County. Just the other day, she took a group of students for plein air painting, right behind the school on a small hillside. Springtime had brought a burst of colorful flowers to the hillside, making for a picturesque scene.
Sisi assigned homework tasks and dispersed the students to start painting, while she herself took a basket and went to pick Qingming grass. At this time of the year, the Qingming grass was at its freshest. Sisi had noticed it on her way to work earlier and planned to pick some to make Qingming Cake.
Yesterday, Granny Zhao even called to remind her to make Qingming Cake and asked if there were any bamboo shoots around. If not, she said she would send some over. Sisi couldn't help but laugh—without express delivery, the postal service was incredibly slow, and by the time the bamboo shoots were shipped from Capital City, they would have probably gone bad.
