() The other party is both intentional and hard-working, and if she is careful to talk about it, she is indeed not in a hurry to use the money, and it is okay to give the other party more time.

Xie Yinan is not a stingy person.

"My brother and sister are understanding, but we should pay back the money, so we still have to do it as soon as possible." Song Le said in passing.

"We know the thoughts of the eldest brother and sister-in-law."

Xie Yinan said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it's not too early at this time, is the mother soaking the beans well, it's time to grind the pulp." ”

Everyone knows about repaying the money, just keep it in mind, and I always feel awkward when I talk too much, so Xie Yinan simply changed the topic.

"Well, my mother has washed the mill, and this time she is fishing out for beans, and it is estimated that you have to control the water a little when you take it out." Kwok replied.

"After grinding the pulp, it has to be sifted, cooked, cooked and some tofu, this is busy chattering, if you don't hurry up, I'm afraid it's getting dark, let's go back and help." Xie Yinan proposed.

"Cheng, then let's hurry back." Guo smiled.

After this is done, the Cao family will definitely be very satisfied, and in the future, it is estimated that they can feel sorry for their big house, maybe they can also share more of their salary, so that they can pay off the money earlier.

Moreover, looking at Xie Yinan's appearance, her attitude was gentle, and she did not rush to urge her to repay the money, but let them not worry, and her heart was a little calm, and the money would be repaid slowly.

Thinking of this, Guo's smile also brought a lot of relief.

However, Guo Shi didn't say these careful thoughts, and everyone didn't care much about them.

When the group went back, the beans were almost dry, so they quickly began to grind the beans.

Song Leshan and Song Leshun pushed the stone mill, and Xie Yinan and Song Yulan took turns adding beans to the grinding stone.

With the rotation of the stone mill, the milky white soybean milk seeped out from the bottom of the grinding plate, along the groove at the bottom of the plate, flowed into the wooden barrel placed at the bottom, and then poured into the sparse coarse cloth one after another, and filtered out all the bean dregs, leaving only the delicate soybean milk into the pot and boiling over high heat.

After boiling until the soybean milk boiled, the fire was withdrawn, and Cao scooped out some soy milk, added sugar, and handed it to Xie Yinan, Song Yulan and others.

"It's hard to grind this on weekdays, and I don't do most of it, it's rare to make tofu and drink this soy milk, so you can drink some quickly." Cao said: "The rest of these, Shunzi daughter-in-law, you take it to Shunzi and Ping'er, your father doesn't like to drink this, you don't need to leave it for him." ”

Guo Shi poured the soy milk as instructed, and Xie Yinan and Song Yulan drank the soy milk here.

It's hot, sweet, and mellow, much more delicious than modern soy milk, and it has an endless aftertaste.

Xie Yinan drank half a bowl, put down the bowl, looked around and found that Song Leshan was missing from home.

"I didn't see your second brother, why do I always feel that I didn't see him just now." Xie Yinan asked at Song Yulan.

"I don't know." Song Yulan shook her head.

After feeding Song Kangping and drinking soy milk, Guo Shi, who took the bowl back to the stove room, heard Xie Yinan ask, and replied: "Just now I heard Shanzi and my father talking there, saying that they were going to the patriarch's house, and I guess this son should be going there." ”

The patriarch is the head of a clan, highly respected, respected by everyone in the clan, and it is almost the New Year, so it is common to go there for a walk and pay a New Year's greeting.

Xie Yinan didn't think too much, only answered, and continued to talk to Song Yulan.

After a short period of hard work, Song Leshan returned home, and Xie Yinan became more and more distracted.

The soybean milk is boiled, let it cool, take the sour syrup water and order the tofu flowers out, and then put all the tofu flowers into the mold, pass the water with a coarse cloth, and only squeeze out the excess syrup water, and the steaming, tender tofu is ready.

The hot tofu, cut now, does not put anything, all with a strong bean fragrance, if it is dipped in some chili oil, it is even more delicious.

And just after grinding such a large piece of tofu, the Song family came directly to a real tofu banquet in the evening.

Tofu balls, tofu soup, fried tofu, mixed tofu, stewed tofu, most of them are from Xie Yinan and Cao's craftsmanship, which are very delicious, and everyone is also very happy to eat.

In the next few days, steamed steamed buns, oiled, and chicken stew......

Almost every day is busy for the New Year, and every family and everyone has a happy smile on their faces.

When the New Year arrives, it is natural to be happy to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

It was Song Chunmiao's family, but they did not have the laughter and laughter that the New Year should have, but were lifeless.

Especially Meng Shi, this son was furious.

What makes her so angry is because of two things.

One is that the patriarch looked for her two days ago.

It is said that it is the matter of Song Chunmiao and Ge Jiahe, which is unethical and despicable, according to the family rules, Song Chunmiao should be immersed in the pig cage to set an example.

It's just that the law is nothing more than human affection, and in addition to paying attention to the family rules and regulations, I am worried that Song Chunmiao is pregnant and innocent, so this punishment can be waived, but you need to donate five taels of silver to repair the ancestral hall.

Otherwise, Song Chunmiao will be removed from the clan and his family will be driven out of the village.

In Meng's view, this kind of thing is simply for blackmailing silver.

But if you don't comply, your family will be driven away, and you won't be able to live, especially if Song Chunmiao is removed from her name, this marriage will be a problem.

Meng Shi scolded and scolded, but he also broke his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, so he took out the five taels of silver in pain.

And the second thing that made Meng angry was the Ge family.

The two families discussed, since this incident happened, they wanted Song Chunmiao and Ge Jiahe to get married, and in order to avoid embarrassment when they got married, it was best to get married before Song Chunmiao's belly was big.

Meng doesn't care about this, as long as the bride price is enough, those etiquettes and everything are just false, and it doesn't matter if there is one.

So the two parties hit it off, and the wedding date was set for the end of February, and the bride price had to be delivered before the year.

The Ge family also sent a bride price as scheduled, which should have made the Meng family happy.

It's just that the bride price sent by the Ge family is different from what was said at the beginning.

When the Meng family came to discuss this matter, they were scoundrels and persecution, and finally set a bride price of eighteen taels, but at this time, the Ge family sent only six taels of silver, the reason is that this is the rule of the Ge family.

Seeing that the fat in his mouth was reduced by two-thirds, Meng Shi was naturally angry, saying that he couldn't do anything, and made trouble with the Ge family again, only saying that if the bride price was not given enough eighteen taels of silver, he would go down with a bowl of saffron and knock out the child in Song Chunmiao's belly, so that the Ge family would have no eldest grandson.

In order to blackmail the Ge family and force the Ge family to comply.
