19. Groove cake

Although Tong Xue insisted, Xu Wan would definitely compromise, but Tong Xue didn't do it, Xu Wan did this also for life, the top priority is to earn money, and if you have money in your hands, you don't have to calculate a few pennies to live like this.

Besides, although this tofu does make some money, it is not a large amount, and if you spend it as you like, it will not be enough to buy anything.

After Tong Xue didn't want to buy anything, Xu Wan was anxious to pull Tong Xue and Xu Wenyuan back, although there hadn't been much in this bazaar, but in order to avoid Tong Xue seeing anything she wanted to buy again, Xu Wan had to turn around again.

When Tong Xue entered the bazaar, her eyes were straight, Xu Wanke could see it clearly, thinking that her sister-in-law was the first time she had encountered the bazaar for so many years, and her heart was a little soft.

After hesitating for a long time, Xu Wan finally didn't make up her mind, "Sister-in-law, if you still want to shop, we will accompany you for a while." ”

Tong Xue glanced at the grain, Xu Wenyuan pushed a wheelbarrow or two, with a guy with tofu on it, and two bags of grain on it, which looked a little bulky.

It is not a wise choice to go shopping with such heavy things, she is very happy to see the lively scene of the market, mostly because she feels fresh when she sees it for the first time, but since she has come here, she will not worry about the opportunity to visit in the future, Tong Xue said with a smile, "Go back, it's inconvenient to bring so many things." ”

With a decision, the three of them walked in the direction of the village, and saw a shop selling pastries on the way, Tong Xue stopped, "Let's come to the town once and bring some pastries for Wen Zhao and Jing'er." ”

Xu Wan saw Tong Xue looking at the pastry shop and stopped, and thought that Tong Xue wanted to eat, but she didn't expect that she thought of her younger brothers and sisters at home.

Feeling that she was wrong to blame Tong Xue, Xu Wan felt a little guilty, as Wen Zhao and Jing'er's own sister, how could she not hurt them, but since the eldest brother was sick, the life of the family has not been as good as day by day, it is good to be full, where is the money to buy these flashy things.

Although I fought for money today, the long-term sense of crisis was still deeply rooted in my mind, and Xu Wan said in a somewhat jerky voice, "The cheapest trough cake costs twenty yuan a catty." ”

Tong Xue ate a catty, which can buy a small seven catties of flour, which is really not cheap, but thinking of the two children in the family, when they slept yesterday, the two of them still looked at themselves and wanted to follow, but they promised to bring them delicious food.

Since she agreed, Tong Xue will naturally do it, "Buy it, I promised Wen Zhao yesterday, so I will buy two yuan and give them two to be happy." ”

Xu Wan sighed, spent four cents to buy two trough cakes that were a little bigger, and wrapped them carefully and stuffed them into her arms, for fear of crushing half of them.

Tong Xue felt that her eyes were a little hot when she looked at it, but it was just two trough cakes, but Xu Wan put them away like a baby, because they were for her younger siblings at home.

In fact, Xu Wan is only thirteen years old, and at this age, she is also a child.

Tong Xue patted Xu Wan on the shoulder, "I remember that there is still a little white flour and sugar at home, and when I get home, my sister-in-law will make a trough cake for each of you to eat." ”

When Xu Wan heard Tong Xue's words, her eyes flickered and looked at Tong Xue, "Sister-in-law can also make trough cakes?" ”

As a person who has to feed himself well all year round, Tong Xue still knows how to do something relatively simple like chicken cake, but now there is no oven, and it can probably only be steamed, but the brothers and sisters of the Xu family will not be so particular when they want to come.

Thinking of the chicken cake, Tong Xue remembered the three hens in the yard of the Xu family, she had never seen them lay eggs, and she was not diligent in laying eggs, so it was better to go back and feed some space well water to try, maybe the water would be useful for these animals.

It's just a little little, even if it lays an egg every day, so many people in the family, it won't be anyone's turn to have an egg a day, or you should raise some more.

While thinking in his heart, he told Xu Wan his thoughts, "I think the yard at home is empty, why don't you raise more chickens?" ”

Xu Wan didn't want to raise more, but chickens also have to eat food, and if they raise too much, the consumption will be large, and it is not cost-effective. And the chicken has to eat a lot, eat well, only willing to lay eggs, the farmer himself is almost full, how can he feed the chicken, so the average person will not raise too many chickens.

However, I heard that when I was in Tong's house, my sister-in-law was a good worker, so I may have my own ideas, "At this time, there are generally no chickens to hold the nest, so I can only wait for Ming'er to buy some chickens in the spring, but it is difficult to raise more chickens." ”

Tong Xue was only thinking about eggs at first, and didn't consider the problem for a while, as soon as Xu Wan said, she knew what she had overlooked, she was a person who had lived a hard life, and she understood this truth, but now she pinned her hopes on the well water in that space, and after she went back, she still had to try the function of this well water, maybe there would be a surprise.

When Tong Xue and the three of them went back, Xu Wenzhao and Xu Jing were already waiting at the door, and the two of them sat on the threshold, writing and drawing on the ground, while watching the way home from the town.

Seeing Tong Xue from a distance, Xu Wenzhao happily ran towards Tong Xue and a few people, "Sister-in-law, second brother and sister, you are back." ”

Tong Xue touched Xu Wenzhao's head, "Is Wenzhao obedient today?" ”

Before Xu Wenzhao could say anything, Xu Jing answered for him, "My brother is obedient today, my eldest brother asked him to read several more times, and he was not lazy." ”

Xu Wenzhao nodded fiercely on the side, and then looked at Tong Xue expectantly, he still remembered that Tong Xue said that if he was obedient today, he would bring him something delicious.

Tong Xue looked at Xu Wenzhao's cute appearance, and couldn't help but want to tease him, "It's good to be obedient, it's just that my sister-in-law forgot to bring a gift to Wenzhao, what should I do?" ”

Xu Wenzhao is still a child after all, his mouth is flattened, his little expression is aggrieved, and he looks at Tong Xue with resentful and accusatory eyes, but he didn't expect Tong Xue to pinch his face, and he smiled more and more happily.

Xu Wenzhao's cheeks bulged with anger, he had been waiting for his sister-in-law to come back today, he had read the book many times, and even the most stern eldest brother on weekdays praised him, but the sister-in-law lied to people, broke free from Tong Xue's clutches and ran home, and did not forget to say before leaving, "Sister-in-law deceives." ”

Xu Wan looked at Xu Wenzhao's appearance and wanted to laugh extraordinarily, she had never found her brother so funny before, a little person, the puffing up look was so funny, no wonder the sister-in-law liked to tease him.

Xu Wenzhao ran home, and then he began to wonder if he was doing something wrong, his brothers and sisters used to be very good to him, but that kind of good was a little different from this new sister-in-law, Xu Wenzhao felt that he could be coquettish like other children in the village in front of this sister-in-law.

He is actually very envious of those children who can ask their parents for candy, but Xu Wenzhao knows the situation at home, so he has always been very obedient, but this new sister-in-law is different, she will make a little rabbit for her sister, she will run to quarrel with those who bully him in the village, and she will touch her head and say Wenzhao, you have to be obedient, so that he feels like those other children in the village.

So when he was dealing with Tong Xue, Xu Wenzhao was rarely a little willful, but after running back, he regretted it, what if his sister-in-law got angry.

So Xu Wenzhao, who ran home, poked out a small head from the door and looked at Tong Xue and the others, twisted for a long time before coming out again, grabbed Tong Xue's shirt and said, "Sister-in-law, I will forgive you this time, and I can't forget it next time." ”

Seeing that Xu Wenzhao was obviously very nervous and raised his little face and pretended not to care at all, Xu Wan couldn't help laughing again, but changed Xu Wenzhao's glare, and looked at Xu Wenzhao's expression with satisfaction for a long time, and then took out the trough cake, "Little glutton, I brought you a trough cake, take it and eat it." ”
