Chapter 231: New Wheat Noodles
Tian looked for Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er, but they didn't see any trace of their two sons. In www.biquge.info the end, it was Sun Lan'er who told her that Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er had followed Uncle Xia to the mill to grind noodles. Tian didn't say anything, and went back to the house and sat down.
In front of Sun Lan'er, if she didn't complain, she had nothing to scruple in front of the eldest girl and the second girl.
“…… Adults are about to lose sight of me, and they don't tell me where to go. In this family, what am I still worth!" she was a little emotionally out of control, otherwise she wouldn't say such a thing even in front of the eldest and second girls.
The eldest girl and the second girl were busy comforting Tian, and explained to Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er, saying that it must have been arranged by Old Man Xia in the backyard too quickly, so they didn't have time to tell Tian.
Tian vented~ a sentence, and when her sanity returned, she stopped complaining, but walked to the cabinet and took the dim sum box sent by Li Xia to the kang to check.
She first looked the box up and down carefully, and praised it as she could. This is a special dim sum box made by Guixiangzhai, not the kind of cardboard, but a bamboo box, and there are painted paintings outside, which is quite exquisite.
"Just this box outside can be worth a hundred and ten dollars. Tian told the eldest and second girls, and then carefully opened the snack box.
As soon as the box was opened, the eldest girl and the second girl smelled a faint sweet fragrance. Looking at the style of the dim sum, it was even more exquisite, and they had never seen it before.
Not to mention that the eldest girl and the second girl have never met, even the Tian family has not seen each other.
Erya was more honest, and couldn't help but say: "The snacks my uncle brought home are not as good as this." ”
In the eyes of the eldest girl and the second girl, every time Tian and Xia Xiucai go back to the mountain to get something, it is already the best and least thing in the world.
The eldest girl had more thoughts than the second girl, so she secretly poked the second girl, gave the second girl a look, and asked her to speak carefully.
Tian didn't notice the small movements between the two sisters, and she didn't think she was angry about Erya's words.
"How can our family compare with the old Li family!" Tian said, and carefully re-covered the dim sum box, and then discussed with the eldest girl and the second girl, "Such a good dim sum, you~ grandfather, your grandmother, and your father and your brother have never eaten it in their lives, but there is no way to bring this dim sum back." ”
The family got a box of good snacks, and Tian's first thought was to bring it back to his mother's house.
The eldest girl and the second girl exchanged a look, and the eldest girl persuaded Tian: "Aunt, what are you going to bring home?" You can keep it for yourself and eat it, as well as my brother Daqiao, Xia Zhi and Xiaoshu'er, I'm afraid they haven't eaten either. ”
"The people of the old Xia family are not short of this stuttering. They can't eat now, and there will be a time to eat in the future. They have many good relatives. You~ grandpa, grandma, and what have your father and your brother eaten in their lives, don't expect me, they can eat this!"
As soon as Tian said this, the eldest girl and the second girl both shut up.
Tian wanted to send this box of dim sum to the backer Tun'er, but she didn't want to run by herself just because of this box of dim sum, and if someone carried it, there were not many cars going to the backer Tun'er, so it depended on the opportunity.
In such weather, the dim sum can't be kept at all, and it should spoil after two days.
Tian put the snack box back on the counter, and put this worry down for the time being. From this box of snacks, she thought of Li Xia again.
Li Xia came to visit her and gave her a box of snacks, which is common in the courtesies of the Zhuang family. But Li Xia's box of dim sum is far different from the kind sent by ordinary dealers.
Li Xia's gift is very low-key, but it has a lot of connotation.
"Your uncle told me that their mountain chief has a youngest son named Li Xia, who also studies in their academy. This Li Xia, could it be their little son?" Tian was not so much talking to the eldest and second girls as to himself.
Regarding this matter, the eldest girl and the second girl could not give Tian any reference opinion.
Tian sat on the kang and pondered it to himself. However, she pondered for a long time, except for thinking that Li Xia's family must be rich, she didn't think of anything else.
Tian was a little anxious, so he ordered the eldest girl and the second girl to let them go out and watch, as long as they saw Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er, they quickly brought the people back.
Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er must know Li Xia's origin.
Of course, the one who knows Li Xia's origin best should be Xia Zhi, but Tian just thinks that Xia Zhi should be reluctant to tell her this, and even if he tells her, he doesn't know how true or false it is.
The eldest girl and the second girl listened to Tian's instructions, and went to the door to wait for Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er. They did not live up to Tian's entrustment, Xia Qiao and Xiao Shu'er followed Uncle Xia to grind noodles and came back, and the eldest girl and the second girl went over to pass the word.
They told Xia Qiao that Tian was looking for him and asked him to go back immediately.
Xia Qiao answered, but did not follow the eldest girl and the second girl home. "I'll talk about it later. I have to carry all the noodles to the house with my third uncle first. ”
According to Old Man Xia's instructions, Uncle Xia and Xia Qiao used a car to pull a few bags of wheat to the mill, and grinded two bags of fine noodles and two bags of coarse noodles. Those thin noodles are mainly used to entertain Li Xia, and the Xia family usually eats thick noodles.
The same wheat noodles are sifted through different times, and the thickness of the ground noodles is also different.
Once grinded, there is also a by-product bran, which is a good feed for chickens and pigs.
Xia Qiao wanted to help Uncle Xia San carry the noodle bags into the house, and then he saw that the eldest girl and the second girl were standing there and didn't leave, so he asked Xiao Shu'er to go back with the eldest girl and the second girl.
"Xiaoshu'er, you go and tell our mother for me, I'll be back in a while. Xia Qiao instructed Xiao Shu'er. He has a gentle personality and always thinks about others, and the reason for doing this is because he is worried that the eldest girl and the second girl will not be able to bring him back, and they will be complained by the Tian family.
Xiao Shu'er agreed, and beckoned the eldest girl and the second girl: "Sister eldest girl, second sister, let's go back together." ”
The eldest girl agreed, but moved in the opposite direction under her feet, meaning that she wanted to help Xia Qiao move the noodle bag together.
Xia Qiao hurriedly turned sideways and let it pass. "Your girl's family, what are you doing here? There weren't a few bags of this, and my third uncle and I finished moving them in a while. You hurry up and go back with Xiaoshu'er, and I'll go back later. ”
Xia Qiao spoke softly and gently, and the eldest girl involuntarily agreed.
Xia Qiao turned around and left with the bag of noodles on his back.
The little tree here didn't wait for the eldest girl and the second girl, and went home in a hurry.
"Mother, I'm back. Before he could enter the door, he yelled first.
Tian saw that Xiao Shu'er was back, and the little ~ who was a little fatter ~ had a red face, and he didn't know if he was sunburned, or he was too happy to play.
"You came back alone, what about your brother?" Tian asked.
"My brother is behind, and it will take a while to come back. Mother, what is the matter with you, tell me. Xiao Shu'er entered the house and saw a bowl of sour plum soup on the kang, and he didn't ask Tian's, so he picked up the bowl and drank all the bowl of sour plum soup.
"My sister makes this sour plum soup so delicious. After drinking, Xiao Shu'er wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said very pleasantly.
"Isn't that delicious, it's all good stuff, and the rock candy is as much as it gets!" Tian complained in a low voice. She originally wanted to ask Xia Qiao, but when she saw Xiao Shu'er, she thought about it and felt that although Xiao Shu'er was young, she was smarter than Xia Qiao.
Maybe Li Xia's origin, Xiao Shu'er also knows.
"Xiao Shu'er, my mother asked you something...... Tian pulled Xiao Shu'er to his side and asked like this, mainly asking Li Xia if he was Li Shanchang's son and whether the family was very rich.
"Brother Li Xia's family is rich, and the biggest restaurant in our town is opened by his family. As for whether Li Xia is the son of Li Shanchang, Xiao Shu'er said that he didn't know.
"Mother, don't beat Brother Li Xia's idea. After saying that, Xiao Shu'er still smiled at Tian's family.
"What is my idea of beating Li Xia?" Tian was a little furious by Xiao Shu'er's laughter.
"My eldest sister and second sister. I know everything with Xiao Shu'er's face, "My sister definitely doesn't want to, and my uncle." Mother, my uncle's tantrum is scary, my sister is really angry, it's even more scary!"
was said by the youngest son, Tian's face was a little uncomfortable. She raised her hand and gestured to hit Xiao Shu'er: "Who are you listening to nonsense, do you talk to your mother like this?"
Xiao Shu'er laughed twice, and when she turned her head, she saw the snack box on the counter.
"Did I send it from Brother Li Xia?" Xiao Shu'er asked.
"What's wrong with that?" Tian raised his hand, but he didn't really fall.
"No, you won't give me food anyway. Xiao Shu'er pursed her lips and shouted loudly, "Mother, then I'll play." After speaking, without waiting for Tian's consent, he ran away.
When Tian saw that Xiao Shu'er was going to the back, he knew that he was going to the backyard again.
All three children were separated from her, even the youngest. Moreover, even Xiao Shu'er dared to warn her and asked her not to fight Li Xia's idea!
When the eldest girl and the second girl came back, Tian was still angry. Then, after knowing that Old Man Xia in the backyard had grinded several bags of wheat noodles at once, Tian's heart was even more blocked.
The eldest girl looked at Tian's depressed expression, and hid another thing.
Although Xia Qiao refused to let her help carry the noodle bags, she still stayed by the side to help. Then she listened to Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia discuss, and said that she would ask Old Man Xia to see what kind of noodles to send to Grandma Layue's family.
Xia Qiao came back after a long time, his face was sweaty~, and the back of his clothes was wet~. Tian hurriedly asked the eldest girl to fetch water for Xia Qiao and asked Xia Qiao to wash his face.
Xia Qiaolian said no, and went to wash his face.
Xia Qiao washed his face by the well in the courtyard, and the eldest girl slowly followed.
"Brother Daqiao, your clothes are wet~. Take it off, I'll give it to you, wash it. ”
"Ah......" Xia Qiao was washing his face, he didn't hear it clearly at first, and when he understood, he waved his hand, "I'll just wash it myself." Not with you. ”
The big girl stood there, a little embarrassed.
Xia Qiao felt that maybe his refusal was too blunt, so he deliberately slowed down his voice: "Our family is different from yours. I have always washed my own clothes. I don't even have to sixteen to wash it for me. You don't have to ...... like you are in my house."
The eldest girl has lived for more than ten years, and no man has ever spoken to her so gently and considerately. Xia Qiao said all good things, but the big girl's eyes were red.
Xia Qiao was startled, secretly examined himself, pondered repeatedly, and didn't figure out what he said wrong. The people who came out of the Tian family, the eldest girl actually looks very honest, and she is definitely not the kind of temper that cries when she says she cries.
Xia Qiao was a little overwhelmed.
Tian had something to ask Xia Qiao, and felt that Xia Qiao had been out for too long, so he shouted Xia Qiao in the house. Xia Qiao didn't say anything to the eldest girl, and he didn't know what to say to the eldest girl, so he was busy and entered the house.
Facing the eldest son, Tian's attitude was still very solemn. She first told Xia Qiao that Li Xia came to visit her and gave her a snack box.
Xia Qiao glanced at the cabinet, and oh, there were no extra words.
"I'm going to give that box of snacks to your grandma and your grandfather. They can't eat anything all year round, and they've never eaten this kind of dim sum in their lives......"
Xia Qiao felt that Tian didn't need to explain so much, and he didn't care about a box of snacks at all.
Then, Tian asked Xia Qiao about Li Xia. Because he learned the lesson of talking to Xiao Shu'er just now, Tian's question this time was very roundabout. But Xia Qiao was not stupid, and soon understood Tian's intentions.
"Mother, Li Xia is a distinguished guest of our family. Whether he is the son of Li Shanchang or not, our family is the same hospitality. Mother, she is a talent who has just been examined, and she is the head of the case. ”
Only then did Tian know that Li Xia was already a showman.
"How old is he, he will be admitted to show talent!" Tian was quite impressed.
"It's not big, it's a few months younger than me. People definitely can't set a daughter-in-law now, they have to set it in the future, and they have to set a door equally. Then, Xia Qiao said again.
"What do you mean by telling me this?" Tian's face darkened slightly.
Xia Qiao glanced at Tian lightly: "Mother, I don't mean anything, I just tell the truth." ”
"Together, you big guys are guarding against me!" Tian narrowed his eyes.
"That's not what it meant. Xia Qiao's tone was dry.
"That's not what you mean, what do you mean?" Tian didn't relent.
"Mother, you are like this, the eldest girl and the second girl are not comfortable!" Xia Qiao said in a low voice.
The eldest girl was picking up the curtain and was about to go to the house, when she heard Xia Qiao's words, she immediately stopped. Her eyes were red again, and she stood on the doorframe for a moment, then wiped her eyes and went out into the courtyard.
Uncle Xia San and Xia Qiao came back from grinding noodles, and everyone in the backyard was very happy. Xia Zhi asked Li Xia if he had seen the newly ground new wheat noodles, Li Xia just laughed, and Xia Zhi took him over to see.
Old Man Xia was opening the noodle bag to check the wheat noodles inside. He also grabbed a handful and twisted it in the palm of his hand, then nodded, saying that this time the dough was polished well.
"I told him on purpose, let me use the finest sieve. Uncle Xia San smiled innocently.
"Let's use this bread dumpling at night!" Xia Zhi said with a smile.
The adults laughed and didn't speak, but the few small ones laughed and shouted.
