Chapter 26: Confession
"No, the house in Big River City has just been repaired, and I have time to come back and have a look." The Liu family responded and talked to the people in the village.
Lin Shuqing looked at the situation, and it was estimated that she couldn't interject for a while.
Now that she had just returned from the city, she didn't bother her family to do things well, so she went straight back.
Although she didn't have the idea of Aunt Du, she didn't expect Aunt Du to find her directly the next day.
Lin Shuqing was taking her younger siblings to make breakfast.
Life at home is better, and there is no need to eat any throat-stuck nests every day, and you can drink a bowl of cooked thick porridge in the morning.
Today is even different, Lin Shuqing used soup with brown sugar to cook a bowl of brown sugar eggs for several children.
The children were very happy eating sweet things, but she was not very fond of sweets.
So I didn't cook much, and I was thinking about spreading a few more cakes.
I heard someone outside calling her.
Lin Shuqing walked out and saw that it was Aunt Du.
"Shu Qing girl, I'm afraid that I came here early, you haven't woken up yet, look in the direction of your house to see what chimneys are smoking, I just came......" Liu Shi said carefully, with a kind smile on his face.
"I got up early and steamed a basket of steamed buns, and I don't know if my craft is good, so you can make do with it."
As he spoke, he handed over the bamboo basket and lifted the cloth on it.
The white, soft steaming buns, with the yellow soup overflowing from the mouth, are very attractive to look at.
"Then I'll thank Grandma Liu! Grandma come into the house and drink saliva......" Lin Shuqing led the Liu family into the house.
Compared with the previous poor and white, the situation at home is much better now, and I can make up a complete seat and bench.
The guests entered the house and had a place to sit.
Lin Shuqing gave one bun to each of the children, and the bun was as big as four of her fists.
After eating a bun, it is estimated that I will be hungry after noon.
Lin Shuqing thought about it, and took a bite of the bun herself.
Inside, it is freshly made with fresh meat and mixed with some mountain mushroom tofu. There is not only the fragrance of mountain mushrooms, but also the softness of tofu,
Take a bite and you'll be able to eat the thick meat filling and feel the juices burst in your mouth.
The mouth is full of meaty aroma, and the skin of the bun is moderately thick.
Lin Shuqing had to praise a few words about the deliciousness of this bun, she didn't know how to make steamed buns, and she had to learn a few tricks from Grandma Liu.
Although it was still a little hot, she would never spit it out, so she could only sigh in her mouth and eat the big meat bun in a few clicks.
"Girl, Da Chuan told me about opening a tofu shop, and this recipe is also your family's ......," Liu said with a complicated look.
"Grandma Liu, don't worry about this, I'm willing to give it out. If Uncle Okawa hadn't helped us from time to time, these brothers and sisters in my family would have starved to death......"
"Uncle Okawa is a good person, and he will naturally be rewarded for doing good deeds."
Lin Shuqing said that she really didn't take this tofu recipe to heart, but she wouldn't say who would rob it and ask for it, so she would give it directly.
"And you see I don't do anything, I stay at home all day long, and I don't need to come to make tofu, just sit at home and wait for money......"
Making tofu is a simple job, it took two days for the people in the village to learn almost everything, you see me and I learn from you, you can make tofu.
So she also became a hands-off shopkeeper, and she didn't care about it after teaching, unless there was any problem.
"It's good that you have this heart, in the future, when the Zhou family comes to the door, I will definitely protect a few of you."
"So I thought, ...... Set up a table, I asked Dachuan to recognize a few of you as goddaughters and sons, so that there is also a foil. Liu said, with a hint of kindness in his eyes.
Recognize Uncle Du as a godfather, and Aunt Hu as a godmother!
This is something Lin Shuqing never thought about!
Although there are no adults in the family, life is hard, and this is also the benefit of not having adults! She came up with something, and she didn't have to explain it to the adults.
suddenly had a father, although it was a dry one, this is a life that Lin Shuqing has not experienced in the past few decades.
Counting her youth before she came, she was also a fast runner. And Uncle Du is almost thirty, and both of them are about the same age.
It's okay to worship brothers and sisters, but when she is a father, she can't do it!
"Grandma Liu, my father and mother went early, and Uncle Du has always taken care of us, and I have always regarded Uncle Du as an uncle in my heart."
"It's not that I don't like Uncle Du, it's just that my grandmother said that my life is not good, and I hit my parents, so don't recognize this godfather." Lin Shuqing refused.
Lin Shuqing didn't tell a lie, Zhou really went to the temple to tell her fate, saying that her life was not good and it was not good for her parents. Therefore, I didn't like to see her very much, and I didn't say much about throwing her out.
After her father and mother left, they beat and scolded her even more.
She was an orphan before she came, and she will be an orphan after she came here.
Although she didn't believe in fate before, she still barely believes in it now.
Liu's face changed, but he didn't expect it to be because of this. But he still said with a gentle smile: "Then I don't recognize it!" I still treat you as a granddaughter in my heart! ”
"Come to the house for dinner at noon, I'm making clothes for your children."
I can't recognize it, I still have to have what should be. As he spoke, he looked at a few children, dressed in ragged clothes that were still worn by adults.
Although it is more common in the village, at least it is sewn and mended.
Pity these children, their clothes are not sewn properly.
In the past, the family had a hard time at home, but now the family has money. still relies on the Lin family's girl to earn it, so she has to prepare something for her.
"Grandma Liu, I have cloth at home, and I want to use it to make clothes, but I can't do it with my clumsy hands, so I can only trouble you."
"You kid, don't bother to say anything, just take it and I'll make it for you."
The changes in the people in the village are not limited to this.
In a small courtyard on the west side of Pingnanpo, a gray-haired old man is pushing a stone mill in the yard with a five or six-year-old child.
"Guang'er, you have to remember, this bean has to be soaked overnight before it can be ground......
"You have to grind it carefully, otherwise the particles will be too big and the tofu you make will not work."
As he spoke, he took a handful of soaked beans from the bucket and placed them on the stone mill.
There were not many beans in the barrel, and there was a layer of bottom just now, but now that some of them were pulled, the bottom of the barrel was directly exposed.
When the beans were put on the stone mill, the grandfather and grandson pushed the stone mill together and watched the beans turn into bean dregs.
The little grandson's face was full of joy and amazement.
"Grandpa, can you turn it into tofu later?"
"What's the matter, I'll have to cook it later, pass the bean dregs, and I need some brine."
"What's brine?"
"Brine is the introduction to making tofu, your sister Lin said that the most important thing in making tofu is this introduction."
