Chapter 96: Eccentricity
After Zhou Yunmei heard this, she nodded with satisfaction, "This is the right thing." ”
finished, she also said a few heartfelt words to Luo Zhiming, "You also know, your eldest brother has been in the army all these years, and he has never said anything about his daughter-in-law, and people of your mother and me in the village have hugged their grandchildren, and people ask me how old my grandson is wherever I go, and I am embarrassed to answer." ”
"If you can let Xiu'er conceive a big grandson for her mother within this year, your mother will be happy, and she won't be afraid of people asking wherever she goes."
"Okay, I will definitely conceive your eldest grandson before the end of the year." Luo Zhiming replied very happily this time.
"That's good."
"But Mom, this pregnant grandson is not just conceived, you have to give some reward." Luo Zhiming said, and stretched out his hand to count the money in front of Zhou Yunmei.
In other words, Luo Zhiming suddenly agreed to give Zhou Yunmei a grandson, which was not born for nothing.
In his heart, he didn't have the concept of having children, and he answered so refreshingly, he just wanted to make Zhou Yunmei happy and coax some money to spend from here.
Zhou Yunmei knew what he wanted to do, slapped his hand away, and said angrily, "What are you doing, no, didn't you take five yuan not long ago." ”
Luo Zhiming sat down next to Zhou Yunmei, looked at her with a flattering expression and said with a smile, "Mom, in the past, when I was alone, you could give me almost five yuan of pocket money a month, but now there are two of me, and it will be three people later, where is five yuan enough." ”
Zhou Yunmei paused, then sighed again, and told Luo Zhiming the truth, "Son, it's not that my mother is stingy, it's really not." You don't know what's going on at home now, but you don't have much money left for me this month. ”
"There's not much left, but there's still one." Luo Zhiming saw that Zhou Yunmei was usually so talkative, so he changed his words and said, "Mom, then you can give me three yuan, and the two of us will give you the eldest grandson." You have to eat some good supplements, right? ”
"If you want to make up something, I'll buy it for you." As soon as she heard about her eldest grandson, Zhou Yunmei was energetic again.
"Mom. Look at what you said, don't you buy it all as a family, can you still leave your sister-in-law and Cuilan alone when the time comes. Luo Zhiming saw that Zhou Yunmei's face was a little loose, and then said, "If you eat together as a family." Three dollars won't be spent. ”
"This ......" Zhou Yunmei thought about it, and felt that this was not wrong, so she got up and went to get the money.
She took out a handkerchief from the cabinet and took out three yuan from it before handing it to Luo Zhiming, but she felt that three yuan was too much, so she deducted one and only gave Luo Zhiming two yuan.
Luo Zhiming saw that he had money to take, but he didn't care, he took two yuan and left happily.
Luo Dashan, who was sitting on the kang smoking a cigarette bag and pot, just saw the two mothers and sons, you come and go. I didn't speak.
This will look at Luo Zhiming's back, sigh, and say, "This Zhiming, I have to let Zhiyong find him a job earlier, otherwise the family will have to support him until the time, and he won't do anything for a long time." ”
When Zhou Yunmei heard this, she was unhappy, "What are you doing, my son took away two yuan." You're not happy? ”
"It's not that he's unhappy, it's that he's such a big person, he always opens his mouth to ask his family for money, don't forget. This money was not earned by us, it was earned by his eldest brother, and even Pingying didn't ask you for money like this. Luo Dashan told the truth.
"Why didn't you ask for it, I had to leave five dollars that day." After Zhou Yunmei finished speaking, she muttered in a low voice, "And." It's not that she can't make money herself, so what do you want me to do here? ”
Luo Dashan felt that his wife was too partial to his two sons, and he couldn't help but persuade him, "Yunmei, both of them are your sons, you need a bowl of water to be even, but don't forget, who can you rely on when you get old in the future." ”
Zhou Yunmei was stunned for a moment, and then yelled at Luo Dashan unconvinced, "What, am I not good to Zhiyong, he asked me at home to take the money, and I didn't give it anyway." ”
"Can that be the same, this money was originally Zhiyong's." Luo Dashan sometimes really can't figure out what kind of mind her wife is, she keeps saying that she will rely on Zhiyong to support her in the future, but she always treats Zhiming better in her heart, and she is always above board, and she doesn't know what she is thinking in her heart one day.
Seeing Luo Dashan talking like this, Zhou Yunmei couldn't be reasonable, so she raised her eyebrows, waited for Luo Dashan, and her voice was not loud, "I'm his own mother, now he can make money, what's wrong with me using some money." ”
Luo Dashan didn't want to quarrel with her, so he simply took off his clothes and went to sleep on the kang, "Hey, forget it, forget it, don't talk about it, go to bed early." ”
But after Luo Dashan lay down, he let out a long sigh and muttered in a low voice, "Think about it when you have nothing to do, now that Zhiyong is not at home, you should be better to Pingying, otherwise when you are old, it will be difficult for you to rely on your daughter-in-law to manage you." ”
I don't know if what Luo Dashan said played a role, but in the next few days, Zhou Yunmei was a little better for Pingying.
Originally, he said that he was reluctant to take the money out to buy dried tofu that day, but on the second day, he deliberately took the money and told Luo Honglan to buy dried tofu and come back to let Fang Pingying make steamed buns.
Zhou Yunmei didn't make trouble, Fang Pingying was naturally good, and the family had a few days of clean life.
But soon Fang Pingying's side was busy, because the adobe house that Luo Zhiyong helped her get at home had already been dried, and she could make pastries or something in it.
When Luo Zhiyong was at home, he helped her pull a wire into the village, and she only needed to pay some fixed electricity bills to the village team secretary for a month.
Then, when Luo Zhiyong was at home, he was afraid that she would work hard alone, so he also helped her buy all the things that should be bought, so she could use it directly on the other side of the house.
The red dates that I got back from Sister Chen Rong's side, because they were dried for a few days, many of them were ripe and turned red.
Fang Pingying took Luo Honglan to select the red, ripe dates for use.
Fang Pingying pondered for several days, like red dates, making red date sauce or something would not work, and in terms of the experience of selling hawthorn cakes, hawthorn sauce alone is far from being as easy to sell as hawthorn cakes.
After thinking about it, she decided to make some simple pastries from red dates.
She can make a lot of pastries, but the best ones are jujube mud cakes and jujube flower cakes, which she has made herself in her previous life.
Jujube paste cake is a very simple thing, and it doesn't need too many ingredients, just some water chestnut flour and sugar.
Horseshoe powder is not a rare thing, Fang Pingying had already bought some in the town before.
She took Luo Honglan to wash and remove the core of the jujubes first, then add water to the pot and put the jujubes to make soup.
Boil for a while to remove the jujubes, sieve the soup to remove impurities, and put rock sugar over low heat to melt the jujubes completely.
Then put the water chestnut flour and water on a plate and mix until the water chestnut powder is dissolved with water.
When finished, pour the boiling red date soup into a plate of water chestnut flour water, and stir quickly clockwise while pouring until it is well blended.
Pour the jujube horseshoe flour paste into a bowl in layers, steam one layer and then put the second layer, put a few layers, and after all are cooked, cut into small pieces, a small piece is the authentic red date cake. (To be continued.) )
