Chapter 31: The Enthusiastic Cow Auntie
"Hey, hey." Du Chenxi touched her nose embarrassedly, she can't be blamed for this, she is a southerner, she loves sweetness, and she likes to add a spoonful of sugar to anything to eat.
However, this time she had a valid reason, not for herself.
Thinking about it like this, Du Chenxi had confidence again.
She hurriedly explained to her little brother Meng, "It's not for me to eat this time." ”
"Who is that for? Except for you, no one in our family loves sugar. Song Jiamu snorted, obviously not believing it, his sister-in-law must want to eat candy again, so he won't be easily deceived.
"I'm going to make desserts for my second brother!"
Little Brother Meng didn't answer, obviously didn't believe her, Du Chenxi felt that her heart was about to break, she quickly covered her heart and said, "Second brother has been drinking Chinese medicine all day long, I smell bitter medicine, let alone drink it every day, I want to make him some delicious relief, otherwise he will be bitter to death by medicine sooner or later." ”
Song Jiamu's black eyes were rolling slightly, judging whether what the new sister-in-law said was true, seeing the sincerity of the new sister-in-law, he secretly thought, this time it should be true, but he felt that Du Chenxi should also want to eat.
After hesitating for a long time, he reluctantly took out the sugar jar from under the stove.
Boy! The cute little brother actually hid the sugar there, and it was pitch black underneath, and she usually didn't notice it at all, in order to prevent her from eating sugar, was it necessary to do this?
Song Jiamu looked at the sugar jar in his hand, as if he had made up his mind, gritted his teeth before putting the sugar jar in Du Chenxi's hand, and told him with peace of mind, "This sugar is very expensive, you can save some food." ”
"Got it, got it." She found that this cute little brother has a great talent for being a housekeeper and has been worrying about this family.
Getting the candy, it was simply the soul of getting a dessert, Du Chenxi immediately rolled up his sleeves and began to prepare.
She took a basin, mixed it with water and flour, and kneaded it constantly, but fortunately she often made her own desserts to eat in her modern free time, so that she didn't have her hands anymore.
After putting the sugar balls on the pot, Du Chenxi patted his flour-stained hands with satisfaction.
That's it, just wait for the dumplings to be steamed!
Du Chenxi beat her sore waist, and was about to turn around and find a small bench to sit on and rest, when she suddenly saw the cute little brother standing next to her staring straight at her.
"What are you doing? Do I have something on my face? Du Chenxi touched his face strangely, but he didn't touch anything dirty.
Song Jiamu shook his head, "No." ”
Du Chenxi understood instantly, showed an expression of sudden realization, and patted the shoulder of the cute little brother, "Don't worry, there must be a bowl of you in this, I can count it all." ”
This cute little brother, if you want to, just talk to her, and even do this trick.
As soon as she opened her mouth and was ready to tell her little brother Meng this truth, she heard a loud voice from outside, "Jiashu's family!" ”
Before Du Chenxi could answer, the other party raised his voice and shouted, "Jiashu's family!" ”
This sound was even louder than the one just now, and it shook Du Chenxi's eardrums a little painful.
"Who? Do you know? Du Chenxi plucked out his ears and asked the cute little brother.
Song Jiamu nodded, the voice was familiar to him, "It's Aunt Niu from the family next door, and their family is all good people." ”
Du Chenxi glanced at the pure and harmless little brother Meng, and couldn't help but slander in his heart, in the eyes of the little brother Meng, are there any bad people? If there really is, I'm afraid there are only the two daughters-in-law who ran away from the Song family before, right? Moreover, at that time, she may have to go to the back of the two "seniors".
Du Chenxi let out an "oh".
She heard Song Jiashu say this name, and it was Aunt Niu who thought that the Song family was on fire and asked her husband to go up the mountain to call the strong man home, and she knew from this incident that Aunt Niu must be a warm-hearted person.
It's just that Aunt Niu suddenly came to them for something?
Du Chenxi was about to go out to answer the door, but found that the cute little brother who had been chattering suddenly stopped talking, she looked back and saw that the cute little brother was picking his fingers with a lonely face.
Du Chenxi was confused, what's going on?
She took her cute little brother's hand, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"I'm fine." Little Brother Meng shook his head, but his tone was much lower than usual, "Aunt Niu has a son, her son Brother Zhu is the most learned person in the township, everyone wants to write some letters, settle accounts or something, they will go to him, and now they are preparing to take the Xiucai exam." ”
Yo! This tone can almost sour people's teeth, and they say that they don't want to go to school.
However, Du Chenxi was also a little distressed, she understood that Little Brother Meng was thinking about this family.
The family had no money, so in order not to embarrass his eldest brother, he deliberately said that he didn't want to go to school.
She touched the head of her cute little brother, okay, she knows his mind, the most important thing is to have the heart to study, and leave the rest to her to find a way to solve it.
Du Chenxi hurriedly went out of the stove room to welcome Aunt Niu in, and it was not a problem for the family to stand outside for so long.
Fortunately, Aunt Niu is also a good temper, she is not angry at all, she smiled, as soon as she saw Du Chenxi, it was like seeing her own daughter, and she looked at her carefully several times, "You are Jiashu's daughter-in-law, Chenxi, right?" This baby is really handsome, Jiashu is so blessed. ”
"Hehehe, it's okay." Being praised by Aunt Niu like this, Du Chenxi was a little embarrassed.
"Look at you, this kid, you're still being humble with your aunt." Aunt Niu familiarly stuffed a handful of vegetables into her hand, "Chenxi, when we met for the first time, I didn't bring anything good, you take this dish." ”
"No, what's so embarrassing?"
If it had been placed in the past, Du Chenxi would definitely not have put this little green vegetable in her eyes, but since she came to Song Jiashu, this kind of green vegetable is already rare for her.
"Hey, what's wrong with this, this is what is left over from the morning market, take some stumps and rotten leaves, I'm embarrassed."
Is it?
Du Chenxi glanced at the vegetables in his hand suspiciously, can the leftover vegetables look like this? But she hasn't been to the vegetable market a few times in modern times, so I don't know, maybe that's how it is.
Regardless of the fresh vegetable leftovers, she has to be grateful to Aunt Niu anyway, "Thank you, Aunt Niu, it seems that our family doesn't need to buy vegetables today." ”
She asked Aunt Niu to sit first, took the handful of vegetables back to the stove, and stuffed it to the cute little brother, "Na, this is today's dish." ”
"Where did it come from? Did Aunt Niu give it? Song Jiamu stood by the stove and asked.
Du Chenxi snorted, "Aunt Niu said that it was leftovers that were not wanted in the morning market, and no one wanted them to give them to our family." ”
Just as the sugar balls on the stove came out of the pot, the sweet smell made people's appetite move, Du Chenxi took a bowl out and said, "Of course I can't accept other people's things for nothing." ”
Song Jiamu glanced at the green vegetables, and at first glance, they were freshly picked, and he was full of black lines, so this new sister-in-law would believe that this was leftovers, right?
Du Chenxi returned to Aunt Niu and put the bowl in front of Aunt Niu, "Aunt Niu, I just made some sugar balls, how about you try the taste?" ”
Aunt Niu is not restrained, she immediately tasted it, and she was instantly amazed, this ball is soft and glutinous, and the sugar water is sweet but not greasy.
"Big sister, you're good at this craft!" Aunt Niu gave a thumbs up.
Du Chenxi smiled, this aunt Niu is really good at complimenting people, and sure enough, as the cute little brother said, she is a good person!
Aunt Niu finished eating the sugar balls, and said a little embarrassed, "Can I let my son have a meal at your house?" “
"Huh?" Du Chenxi didn't react for a while.
Aunt Niu thought she didn't agree, so she quickly explained, "I'm busy going to the morning market every day, and I can't care about cooking for my son, and it's too late to come back now." ”
At the end, Aunt Niu added, "I'm willing to give money." ”
She clapped her hands, Brother Zhu came just as she wanted, and she was still thinking about how to talk to Aunt Niu before.
Besides, she also heard the strong man and the cute little brother say that Aunt Niu helped the Song family a lot, and if she received Aunt Niu's money, the strong man should have to scold her after knowing it.
No, it's likely that he won't scold her, but scold why the cute little brother didn't take a good look at her.
Seeing that Aunt Niu was about to take out the money from her pocket, Du Chenxi hurriedly grabbed her hand, "Aunt Niu, this is unacceptable, I know that the Song family is taken care of by your family on weekdays, and it is also appropriate to cook a meal for you." ”
Aunt Niu looked at Du Chenxi with a firm face, so she had to put her hand down, she saw that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Song family was more and more satisfied, and this child was too sensible.
Everyone is in the same village, and the gossip and rumors between the neighbors are the fastest spreading, and she has heard rumors about this child before, but none of them are good.
Now it seems that the rumors can only be regarded as rumors, and they cannot be believed at all.
She couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.
Du Chenxi watched the expression on Aunt Niu's face change back and forth, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
However, she did have something to ask for, and after a moment of silence, Du Chenxi called cautiously, "Aunt Niu? ”
