For a long time, there was a question lingering in Ye Xiaoyu's head, that is, when Qian Yi and Ling Yu left, what should he send?

Given your current financial situation, this gift should not be too expensive, but it should be special. After going to the capital twice, Ye Xiaoyu carefully checked the shop pù in the capital, it seemed that everything was sold, but he always felt that there was something less than his previous life, and then after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that although there are pastry shops in the capital, they do not sell Western-style desserts, not to mention the big birthday cake, which is the kind of small cake with eggs and flour, and it is not sold. Since there is none, the probability of Ling Yu and Qian Yi eating this kind of thing is very low, and eggs, flour and the like, the price is not expensive, but they have to spend some effort to make it. Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly felt refreshed. In fact, this is not only for the two of them, but also for the rebirth of myself in this place, and I haven't eaten Western-style desserts for a long time, and I have worked so hard, and it is also appropriate to make something to treat myself and Hong'er.

To make a small cake, there are still two things missing, salt and cream. The cream must not be found, Ye Xiaoyu plans to go to the village to get some milk instead. As for the salt, I can only go to the kitchen to get a little, thinking of this, Liu's mother's face appeared in front of her again, and Ye Xiaoyu suddenly had a big head.

After eating, he found a cup with a lid in the cabinet, and Ye Xiaoyu went out. Hong'er was embroidering a handkerchief very obediently, looking at her appearance, Ye Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed, she was so busy that she could only bitter Hong'er.

It's not that she hasn't thought about it, the handkerchief is a single job to others to do, as long as the price is right, now is the agricultural slack period, not only many girls and women in the village are willing to take it, even the big and small maids in Lujiazhuang are also willing to take this single odd job, Aunt Lin's price is so low, they are all doing it well, as long as the price is a little higher than Aunt Lin, there must be a lot of manpower.

But Ye Xiaoyu is a conservative person, everything is very sure, first of all, this is the first business she received, although the shopkeeper Liu paid the salary first in Ling Yu's face, but he did not deliver the goods, if this single job is divided, in case the quality or color that comes out is not enough, then all his previous hard work will be in vain; Secondly, it is also very depressing that most of the people in the village are now helping Aunt Lin make some handkerchiefs and silk scarves, if she gives this to them, she will inevitably compete with Aunt Lin for people, and when the time comes, although she can't do anything, she is from a village, and there will always be more gossip. The business has just begun, Ye Xiaoyu has not yet had the heart to deal with such a thing, and the most important point is that the salary of the first order has just entered his purse, and Ye Xiaoyu does not want to be divided by others immediately. Therefore, this first order, it is better to complete it with yourself and Hong'er, tired is a little tired, but the picture is quiet, if this first order can be completed smoothly, the list in the future, and then look at the situation.

The kitchen did not cook uniformly, but it was only responsible for the meals in Jiang Ping's house, so that Liu's mother was busy from morning to night, and now Lu Yishou is back again, and he often has to entertain some guests, so that Liu's mother and a few cooking mothers-in-law basically have no free time. But Liu's mother likes this job in the kitchen very much, the Lu family is a big family, although her job is not as "high and powerful" as the old five, but the kitchen also has a lot of things, as long as you usually go with your hands, you basically don't have to buy vegetables at home, and you don't have to worry about the lack of rice and food, which saves such a lot of expenses, and your annual income has increased a lot.

Liu's mother is almost 50 years old, in addition to the old man, there are two girls and two men in the family, the peasant family got married early, and the two daughters married early, although the two in-laws are not very good, but Liu's mother feels that the daughters who married out are like water spilled out, anyway, they have raised them for so many years, and they have found their mother-in-law's family, and they have done their best. Therefore, except for walking around during the New Year's holiday, Liu's mother and these two daughters basically have no contact, and neither of their families is very wealthy, so they can't talk about helping each other or anything.

The eldest son Lu Tianfu has already married a family, and his daughter-in-law's name is Mei Xiang, who is an orphan, and wandered to Quanxiu Village because of the floods in the south when he was a child. At that time, Liu's mother's eldest son Lu Tianfu was 12 years old, looking at her son who grew up day by day, Liu's mother was happy and sad, her son was going to marry a daughter-in-law in a few years, but with such a family background, not to mention that there were very few girls who were willing to marry, even if someone was willing, she had no money to marry. On this day, Mei Xiang came to the door of Liu's mother's house to ask for food in tattered clothes, looking at this Meixiang, Liu's mother suddenly thought about it, this girl cleaned up, her appearance will definitely not be bad, and the age is not much different from her son, it is not as good as ......

As soon as she thought of this, Liu's mother immediately changed her smiling face and asked Mei Xiang if she would like to live in her house, although she was not a rich family, but at least she could be fed. Mei Xiang has been starving and freezing alone for so long, and she is not very old, so when she heard Liu's mother say this, she immediately agreed. After living for a few years, Mei Xiang naturally became Liu's mother's daughter-in-law, Lu Tianfu's daughter-in-law, and added a grandson to their family within a year.

It stands to reason that when her daughter gets married, her son gets married, and she has a grandson, Liu's mother should be content in this life, but she often sighs, because she also has a son, Lu Tiangui, who is 19 years old this year, and looks good, but she can't look down on any girl, and Liu's mother is going to cry.

Liu's mother's family is also surnamed Lu, if you take the genealogy and calculate it carefully, you can barely be regarded as a distant relative of Lu Yishou, although the relationship is relatively far, but Liu's mother is thick-skinned, when she saw Lu Yishou get rich, she forced her old man to go to Lujia to climb relatives, and found such a long-term job in the kitchen, and later she begged Jiang Ping, begging Lu Yishou to find an innkeeper for her youngest son Lu Tiangui in Qingkou Town next door, so that relying on such a big family as the Lu family, Liu's mother's life gradually became better.

The eldest son, Lu Tianfu, did not split up after he got married, and still lived with Liu's mother and his wife. Lu Tianfu's daughter-in-law Mei Xiang, unlike those long-tongued women in the village, is an honest person, she will only work diligently every day, and there is no superfluous words, although she has a daughter-in-law, but the power of the family is still in the hands of Liu Ma alone, and Liu Ma has the final say on everything in this family. Therefore, although the youngest son Lu Tiangui did not get married, it was a stalk in her heart, but the atmosphere at home, the family's obedience to her, Liu's mother was still very happy, and Lu Tiangui was not at home, sometimes Liu's mother simply didn't think about her rebellious son.
