"Then I'll do it with Sister Mi'er, and I'll be idle anyway!" Luo'er took the dishes and chopsticks, sat at the dining table and said with a smile.

"Luo'er, why did you come to Aunt Luo Qinghe's house?"

When Luo Er heard this, a pair of round eyes overflowed with tears: "Sister, my family is poor, and my mother went when she was sick and had no money for treatment." There are two younger brothers in the family, and my father said that the female doll is useless, and my aunt has only one son, and she is a widow. Woman, let me live with my aunt. ”

Seeing Luo'er's teary eyes, Su Mi's heart softened, her eyes were also red, she sucked her small nose, and put a piece of meat in her bowl: "They are all hard-working babies, your aunt is capable, and she will be the one who wants to set up the archway of chastity in the future, and she will definitely give birth to you." ”

"I'm not afraid of hard days, I'm willing to do the heavy work at home, but my aunt doesn't drive me away!" After Luo Er finished speaking, she reached out and wiped the tears on her cheeks, pursed her lips and smiled.

"Your aunt won't want you, don't worry!" Su Mi knew that this Luo Qinghe cared about his reputation the most, and if he bullied his niece, he was afraid that his chastity archway would be gone in the future.

After eating, Su Mi asked Luo'er to go to the side room to rest and cleaned up the stove room by herself. After the stove room was cleaned up, he saw that Luo'er was holding some crickets from straw, so he filled some sun-dried tofu with a saucer and dried it.

Where has this Luo'er eaten such a good thing,

grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, nodded vigorously, and praised that this dried tofu was delicious and fragrant.

After gossiping with Luo Er in the side house for a while, I saw the man come out of the hall carrying a bag of beans. Look at the weather, it will rain tomorrow, and the man must be ready to grind tofu and sell it in the town.

Su Mi hurriedly got up to help, and he hadn't ground tofu for several days. If it rains tomorrow, this tofu will be sold.

"Tomorrow, we will grind only the best and slightly inferior tofu, and the shriveled beans will be fed to the pigs and ducks." Zhao Laosan put a big bag of beans in the dustpan, untied the rope, and the beans crackled and rolled into the dustpan. These beans are all picked, the fullest beans, and they are round and bulging.

"So, what about those who can't afford tofu?" Su Mi tilted her head, her watery eyes widened, and she looked at her man. Before, almost all of the tofu from the most refined beans was given to those village women for free. Sometimes you charge a little money, and sometimes you don't charge a penny.

"A little less tofu can be sold at the price of cheap tofu in the past!" Zhao Laosan knew that his little lady was kind-hearted, and when he saw the pitiful appearance of those mothers-in-law and women on the street, his eyes were red for a long time.

Hearing Zhao Laosan say this, Su Mi was a little relieved. He opened his mouth and smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he said with a peach lip: "If you see your brother, I will give him some tofu tomorrow, this sister-in-law is pregnant, and I don't know what happened!" ”

The first thing to satisfy this tofu is the big restaurants on the street, and they didn't send tofu for half a month, if they see those shopkeepers tomorrow, they will definitely complain that Zhao Laosan didn't send tofu on time.

I took a wooden barrel and soaked several buckets of fine beans in boiling water. In half an hour, the skin of the bean was crumpled, and a little oil and cypress branches were added to it, and the yard was full of fragrance.

This summer is hot, and the tofu can't be ground in advance, for fear that it will not be fresh and smelly. Tomorrow is early, and tonight is bound to go to bed early. It was only evening, and the chimney on the roof of Zhao's house was emitting white smoke, and he began to cook dinner. The rest of the village is still planting rice in the fields.

After eating dinner, Su Mi felt very sleepy and went to bed early.

Early the next morning, it was only the fourth watch, and Zhao Laosan got up. There are so many beans that you can't cook tofu in an hour or two. Knowing that his little lady was going to come to the moon letter in the next few days, he got out of bed lightly, put on her gown, and tucked the quilt with a pair of big hands, and then she was relieved to go out of the bedroom.

The sky was gray, only the stars were flickering, Zhao Laosan lit the oil lamp, pulled the grinding plate, brought a bucket of beans, and scooped it with a spoon into the round hole of the grinding plate. The beans soaked overnight and were easier to grind. After grinding a bucket, Luo'er came out.

"Brother Zhao, I'll help you feed the beans!" Luo Er rubbed her eyes and smiled, her dark and thin cheeks were particularly distressing under the oil lamp.

"It's still early, you can go to sleep for a while, I'm used to grinding tofu!" It's only been four days, and there is a dog barking in the village, but it is still quiet.

"I used to get up after the fourth watch, and I'm used to it." Luo Erma neatly washed up with a basin of water and tied her hair in a bun.

Zhao Laosan saw that she was so quick, so he relied on her. Luo'er is skillful, and when he feeds the beans, Zhao Laosan has to be quick to keep up.

After the fifth watch, all the beans were grinded. Zhao Laosan took the soy milk to the stove and poured it into the pot to cook. When Loel saw that he was washing the barrel, he went to sit down in front of the stove, lit a fire and began to boil the pulp.

When Su Mi got up, Zhao Laosan and Luo'er had already boiled the tofu pulp. Zhao Laosan left some bean curd and hot soy milk, and the rest of the tofu was packed into a wooden frame, wrapped in linen, and then pressed with a wooden board.

"Sister Mi'er is up, see that my sister's face is a little pale, is it uncomfortable, drink some hot soy milk!" Luo Er wore an apron around her waist, a pair of thin and yellow hands holding a pot of soy milk, resting it on the table, and brought another bowl to Su Mi.

"Mi'er, are you uncomfortable?" Zhao Laosan looked at his little lady and estimated that it was the moon letter coming. Hurriedly put down the work at hand, reached out and touched her forehead.

Seeing that Luo'er was there, although she was a female doll, she was also an outsider, so she pressed the colic pain from her lower abdomen: "Husband, I'm fine, I'm used to it!" ”

Hearing what the little lady said, Zhao Laosan was sure that Yue Xin was coming, went to the cupboard to get some brown sugar, boiled a bowl with eggs, and put it steaming in front of Su Mi: "Lady, drink this bowl of brown sugar water to warm up!" ”

"Husband, this tofu is grinding a lot today, I will go to the town with you to sell it!" Looking at these boxes of tofu, if Zhao Laosan goes alone, he will have to send tofu to various restaurants and sell tofu, and I am afraid that it will be dark before he can come back.

"Since Sister Mi'er is uncomfortable, let's rest at home, Brother Zhao and I will go to sell tofu!" Luo'er smiled and cleaned up in front of the stove.

Su Mi was about to say that he was going with a man, but he didn't think that his lower abdomen was even more colic, a pair of small hands covered his stomach, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his full forehead overflowed with beads of sweat.

"Mi'er, you rest at home, I'll go alone!" Zhao Laosan's thin lips opened slightly, his voice was gentle, and a pair of big hands picked up his lady horizontally, paced to the bedroom, and gently put the person in his arms on the bed.

originally wanted to be strong, but the pain in her waist and abdomen was really unbearable. The head was also a little dizzy, and he put his small hand in the man's thick big hand, and the thick cocoon diaphragm made the flesh on the back of his hand hurt a little.

Su Mi couldn't help but feel distressed, looking up at her man, her knife-like cheeks, and her dark eyes were a little tired: "Husband, you bring Luo'er with you, there is more tofu today, she is nimble with her hands and feet, and it is good to take a look at the shop." ”

Zhao Laosan only thought that Luo'er was a doll that hadn't grown up, where did he expect her to do anything. But looking down, looking at the little lady on his bed, her delicate little face was pale, a pair of autumn water clippers were smart, and her black eyes were full of pity and worry for herself, so she had to respond dullly: "Okay, that lady takes care of herself at home, and I will come back at noon." ”

"Husband, take care of Luo'er!" After all, it's a doll, so you still have to take care of it.

Zhao Laosan came out of the bedroom, and this Luo'er was feeding the pigs in the pigsty. Seeing that he was leaving, he hurriedly untied the apron tied around his waist: "Brother Zhao, I'll push the cart with you!" ”

Today's tofu is really a bit much, this day is just a little bright, Zhao Laosan was afraid that it would rain later, so he hurriedly set off from the house. Although it was a smooth continent, he still carefully pushed the cart. Luo'er is also very sensible, but this strength is greater than Su Midu, holding the handle of the board car on the side, and pushing the tofu with Zhao Laosan.

The wind in his ears was cold, and it was estimated that it was going to rain, Zhao Laosan looked up at the sky, but fortunately, the sky was just a little drowsy, and there were no big dark clouds.

When the two arrived at the town market, there were not many people. Zhao Laosan still pushed the cart to the smooth dam next to the Furong pastry house as usual, and then spread the cart neatly. Luo'er had never been to the market, but it was a little novel, and a pair of dark eyes were dripping.

Zhao Laosan looked at it in his eyes, "Luo'er, the tofu will be sold out later, and it won't rain yet, I'll take you around!" ”

"Okay, Brother Zhao! It's my first time coming to this market, and I didn't expect it to be so lively! Luo'er's childish face stared at the people coming and going, smiling.

The shopkeeper of this hibiscus pastry room hadn't seen Zhao Laosan for a few days, and when he saw him coming, he also carried a female doll by his side, and gave some pastry cakes that were not sold out yesterday. Zhao Laosan handed it to Luo'er, "Luo'er, you look at the shop first, I'll go and deliver tofu to other restaurants, you stay here and don't leave." ”

"What if someone comes to buy tofu?"

"There is loose money in your pocket, the price has been marked, you just collect the money according to this price!" Zhao Laosan was still a little uneasy after explaining, and told the shopkeeper of the Furong pastry room to take care of it, so he was relieved to carry two boxes of tofu and left.

Luo Er held the pastry in both hands, this pastry was very crispy and sweet, watching Zhao Laosan's sturdy back disappear into his eyelids, his heart was sweet, and the corners of his mouth grinned happily. She had seen a lot of sturdy men in the neighboring villages before, Zhao Laosan didn't talk much, and he was cold, but Luo'er just felt happy and was willing to listen to his orders.

When the owners of these restaurants saw Zhao Laosan sending tofu, their eyes lit up first, and then they began to blame. insisted that after buying the tofu from the side house, the guests ate it and said that it was not worth the price, and there was no fragrance of the tofu sent by Zhao Laosan.
