Chapter 194: Summer's Promise

"This soaked tofu is hollow in the middle, if you throw it into the hot pot, won't it taste good if it is full of soup?" Xi'er looked cute, saying that your question is so strange. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Foodie, this is a typical foodie, don't just call me alone in the future." Gu Liya nodded Xi'er's forehead, not feeling happy to find an alliance at all.

On the contrary, because she snatched her title, she was a little unconvinced.

After making the soaked tofu, Li Ying began to be busy making tofu again.

Because Xi'er has a successful experience and is recognized by everyone as having a good taste, she is the technical guide in this work.

Fresh tofu is still cut into small pieces and stacked in bamboo baskets in rows, and of course, special attention should be paid to doughnuts and sweets when doing this work.

Because the first basket was eaten by the two of them, and they still want to covet the second basket.

At that time, they were chased and beaten by Xi'er, and they thought that their owners were in a good mood and played games with them.

She was so angry that she threw these two guys who had done bad things to the Golden Retriever and practiced hard for a few days.

Now the two wolf dogs have grown to more than 100 pounds, and before the Chinese New Year, Zhang Qing also said that he would build a house for them again, so that they could live in a new house for the New Year.

Just as a small piece of tofu began to grow white hairs and red, green, and gray mold, two strangers came to the door.

"Is it the Tian family?" An old man was followed by a young descendant, who looked like two fathers and sons.

The dress is very simple, and the body is full of patches, but there are few people who don't have patches on their bodies this year.

But in this winter, I actually wore two single clothes, and I felt very cold when I looked at it.

When he spoke, he was foggy.

"This is the Tian family, who are you?" Xi'er was checking the moldiness of the tofu when she heard someone calling for the door outside.

Li Ying and the others are busy in the pigsty behind, and the more than 20 pigs in the village are now the treasures of the Tian family!

"In the summer, Tian Jiading's mat and some bamboo products, I sent them today." Xi'er noticed that the old man and the young junior behind him were carrying large baskets and small baskets.

"Is it set for our family?" Xi'er thought about it, and was not impressed at all, could it be that it was decided by someone else in the family?

"It's an old man, in the first half of the year, when he was picking bamboo on the side of the Honghe Reservoir, a young man in your village fell off a cliff. The old man wanted us to help bring the bamboo back, but I learned that he wanted to make bamboo, so I volunteered. "The old man is very honest, and he is obviously very nervous when he says this.

Since he can name the time, place and person, he must have set it by his grandfather.

"You guys come in first, sit down, drink a cup of hot water, and I'll call grandpa." Xi'er hurriedly let their father and son in, and the bamboo products were put in the yard first.

"It's okay, we'll wait outside the door." The old man is very polite, and the young offspring behind him is even more shy.

"It's okay, come in and sit. It was cold outside, and my grandfather was in the back, waiting for me to call him. With that, Xi'er poured a cup of hot water for each of them and put it in their hands.

In these days, people are quite simple.

Therefore, when she can be kind to people, Xi'er hopes that she will be kind to people.

It just so happened that Zhang Yi came over at this time, and then simply asked him to run errands and chat with the father and son by himself.

learned that they were one of the villagers who helped Wang Qiang when he rescued him, and they were also at the scene at that time, but at that time, everyone's mind was on Wang Qiang at the bottom of the cliff, and they really didn't pay attention to others.

They are also concerned about Wang Qiang's condition, Xi'er said: "He is now doing rehabilitation in the hospital in Nanjing, and he can stand up, but his brain injury has affected his intelligence somewhat." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, at least my life was saved." The old man was a little embarrassed.

Xi'er also thinks so, but the second half of his parents' lives will be harder, after all, he is now only three or four years old with the IQ of a child.

Unless Xi'er has the opportunity to see him next time, continue to give him spiritual spring water, maybe there is hope for healing.

Otherwise, you can only rely on your parents to take care of you for a lifetime.

The possibility of marrying a wife and having children is almost gone.

Then he talked about the summer flood, and their village was right below the reservoir.

When the reservoir collapsed due to the untimely discharge of the floodwater, their village was the first to be affected.

Their home was razed to the ground in an instant, the old mother and wife were nowhere to be found, and only he and his son, who went out to work, escaped.

Xi'er was dumbfounded when she heard this, "Your village has been so badly affected that there is no funding from above?" ”

The old man just smiled honestly and didn't say much, just looking at their current appearance to know the truth.

The young offspring couldn't help but look at Xi'er twice, after all, she was only a nine-year-old child, listening to her and her father talking, she was simply many times more powerful than herself.

Holding the hot cup, my heart is extremely uncomfortable.

He lowered his head again and said nothing.

In the past, he was also a lively and cheerful young man, but a series of accidents at home wiped out all his hopes in life.

"Yo~~ Big brother, I waited for you for a summer, and I thought you forgot our agreement." As soon as Old Man Tian came in, he saw that the person in front of him was a little familiar, and after a deep look, wasn't this the person who said in the summer that he wanted to make a bamboo bed for himself?

"Hehe, something happened at home, so it's late." Old man, no, in front of the old man should be called big brother.

It's still scratching the back of his head honestly, but it's more than five years older than when I saw it in the summer.

Presumably, it has experienced some disasters again, right?

Old Man Tian didn't ask much, and when he heard that he sent some, he hurriedly went out to see it.

"Big Brother's craftsmanship is really good!" The old man touched the smooth bamboo mat, and there were cute patterns woven on it, did he hear that this was for his granddaughter, so he added it specially?

The old man couldn't help but think highly of this person.

"It's so beautiful! In the summer, if there is a bamboo bed under the banyan tree, it will definitely be cool. "It's also the first time I've seen such exquisite bamboo products.

Everything is like a work of art.

"My father's craft is famous, but it's not worth much anymore." The young junior finally said the first words after entering the door.

"Who said that? In the future, craftsmen like your dad will be invited out of the mountain at a high price. Xi'er subconsciously retorted, and then realized what she had said when everyone was stunned to look at her.

Coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, "Originally, people's lives will get better and better, and in the future, they will gradually rise from food and clothing to higher requirements for life, and even beauty and art." These things may not be worth much in the countryside, but in the city, your father's things will be grabbed at a high price. ”

Xi'er didn't think about her own words, and one day it would completely change the lives of the father and son.

Nowadays, however, what they urgently need is not to appreciate his artistry, but to be practical.

After all, this thing was promised to be delivered in the summer, but I didn't expect it to be delayed until winter.

In fact, the Tian family has enough reasons to refuse, but the father and son need to use this pile of things in exchange for some materials, otherwise they won't be able to live this year.
