Chapter 111: Visit
Facing the woman's grateful eyes, Li Xueyan just smiled and shook her head, saying that she didn't need to thank her.
Until Li Xueyan and the others left, the woman's eyes did not take her eyes off them. Although she didn't thank her for her kindness, what Li Xueyan secretly gave her just now can be said to be able to save the lives of their mother and daughter.
But there are so many people here that they can't open their mouths, let alone express their gratitude.
When Li Xueyan reached out to pat the little girl's shoulder just now, she quietly stuffed the purse she was carrying into the woman's hand by the way, and by the weight alone, she could know that the amount in it was not small.
She also knew the reason why Li Xueyan didn't let her speak out, if the people here knew that she had been helped, the desire to survive would definitely make them not care about anything else, and rushed over directly for help. When there are many people, it will be a big trouble for the two of them and Li Xueyan and them.
"That kid just now, what a pitiful thing." Li Xueyan and Duan Yunfei walked on the way back, and couldn't help but sigh. Thinking of their appearance just now, Li Xueyan felt uncomfortable.
"You're not just helping them because you're pitiful, aren't you?" Duan Yunfei paused, "It's because of Xiao Nuan." ”
Li Xueyan smiled: "Yes, I just came at the time, no, when I just woke up from the broken temple, I saw Li Xiaonuan who was similar to that child." Maybe that kid was even worse...... I just couldn't hold back and meddled in my own affairs. ”
"It's not called meddling."
"If you don't call it, don't call it, I hope that their mother and daughter can live a little better with that little money, and the child's malnutrition affects development. How cute the little girl looks like, if she becomes yellow and thin in the future, it won't be tyrannical. ”
"You've got a lot to worry about." Duan Yunfei laughed.
"Is it much? It seems like a lot, but every little girl is a little princess of her parents, and she should be well protected. She's a little unlucky now, but in the future, it will always be good. Luck has hit rock bottom, and every step since then is rising. ”
This statement made Duan Yunfei a little surprised, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be the same truth.
Couldn't the worse be worse, wouldn't it get better and better?
Only after experiencing the bottom can we better understand what happiness is like.
After Li Xueyan went back, she suddenly thought that in addition to the homeless people, there were many poor people in the village. For those people, they can only eat a little meat during the New Year's holidays, not to mention meat, and sometimes they can't even afford to eat the staple food.
But these are things that Li Xueyan can't do with her ability, and she is not Yuan Longping's grandfather.
But changing the meat to make it is Li Xueyan's strength. Barbecue is meat, slices of meat are meat, and diced meat foam is of course meat.
Li Xueyan's idea this time is to make the meat to the extent that it can be preserved for a long time, and then make it into diced meat and sell it in cans. Try to make the price as cheap as possible, so that people who don't have a lot of money can eat meat.
After all, eating meat is a thing that can make people feel happy, especially for people who can't afford to eat it all year round, and they will feel happier if they eat it a few times once in a while.
Too many people here are living too hard, and she can't help anything else, so she can only find happiness in this kind of thing.
Li Xueyan thought so, and just started to do it.
She took as much time as she could, and whenever she had free time, she began to study how to make diced meat into a sauce to make them delicious and easy to preserve.
After all, in this day and age, preserving food is a very troublesome thing. Especially meat, it rots relatively quickly, and if it can't be stored well, it makes no sense to sell it as meat sauce, because if you can't finish it, it will still spoil quickly, and the result will be frequent buying of meat, and this kind of expenditure is unaffordable for many people.
On this day, she was studying with Duan Yunfei when she suddenly heard someone start calling from afar.
"Brother! Sister-in-law! I sent our little nuan back! ”
Li Xueyan heard the voice and her head was loud, and the only one who would call them that Gu Hengzhi was that. I don't know if his brain is missing a tendon or a lack of Zhang Qin, since the last time he casually said that Duan Yunfei is his brother, every time he sees them, he calls them brother and sister-in-law, and he can't change it.
"I said, why don't you listen to you if you don't call it like that? Even if I tell Xiao Nuan a few times, she can remember it, right? Li Xueyan was very helpless, but turned her head and found that Gu Manzhi was also here, and her face immediately changed, "Sister Manzhi? Rare guests! Come on, come in and sit! ”
Gu Heng's face was aggrieved, "What about me?!" ”
Li Xueyan said as a matter of course: "You also come in and sit, otherwise will you still sit outside?" ”
Gu Hengzhi was furious, "I mean, why aren't you as enthusiastic about me as my sister!" ”
"Can you compare to your sister? Less nonsense, can't get in? Don't get in the way if you don't come in! Duan Yunfei pushed Gu Hengzhi to the side, and Zhou Xinghua in the back walked in with Li Xiaonuan and Deng Mingyou smiling.
"Daddy!" Li Xiaonuan was probably in a particularly good mood, and when she saw Duan Yunfei, she pounced, and Duan Yunfei took the opportunity to pick her up.
"Xiao Nuan is so happy today? Is there anything good? ”
Li Xiaonuan shook his head, "No, I just want my dad to hug me!" ”
"That's good."
Gu Manzhi glanced at the interaction between their father and daughter, turned his head and said to Li Xueyan with a smile: "Xiao Nuan is really close to her father, but my Ayou is not close to his father, I don't know what temper the two have." ”
Li Xueyan took Gu Manzhi to sit down and added tea to her, "Girls, it's normal to be with your father." Ayou is a boy who doesn't have so much to say to his father, but the relationship between the two has nothing to say, and he doesn't say it, but it's definitely good. ”
Gu Manzhi obviously liked this statement very much, and said with a smile: "Yes." By the way, I didn't bother you with a surprise visit today, did I? ”
Li Xueyan smiled: "How can it? It's too late to welcome! It's often just a few of us in the house, and it's not lively at all, no, it's much better when you look at it. ”
After Li Xueyan finished speaking, she looked at Gu Hengzhi, who couldn't reason with Duan Yunfei and could only play with Deng Mingyou, and smiled.
Gu Manzhi obviously also noticed what she was looking at, and said with a smile: "Hengzhi is too, such a big person, like a child every day." I always liked to follow me before I got married, but now that Ayu is so old, he always likes to come over. ”
Although it was a complaint, I couldn't hear any blame, and it could be seen that Gu Manzhi still liked her brother very much, and the relationship between the sister and brother must be quite good.
Otherwise, Gu Hengzhi wouldn't have come to her every day.
"He hasn't grown up in the first place, and in the eyes of you, who are sisters, he is still a child no matter how old he is."
"yes."
While chatting, Gu Hengzhi suddenly sniffed everywhere, "It's so fragrant, what kind of delicious food does my sister-in-law make at home again?" ”
Li Xueyan also smelled it, it was the taste of the semi-finished meat sauce she was developing with Duan Yunfei today, "It's just your nose, but you haven't done it yet, I'll give you a taste when it's finished." ”
Gu Manzhi said with a smile: "Actually, I smelled it when I entered the house, but I forgot what I said at that time." Can I go and see how you make the flavor? ”
Li Xueyan said: "Of course you can, let's go, I'll take you over to have a look, and by the way, I can also let you give your opinions and give some suggestions." ”
The group walked to the kitchen, and Gu Hengzhi sighed first.
"Didn't I say that your kitchen is a little too big, right? It's almost time to catch up with the hall. ”
"It's so exaggerated, it's just a little bigger than the average kitchen." Li Xueyan felt that Gu Hengzhi was a little too fussed, and turned her head to ask Gu Manzhi, "Right?" ”
Gu Manzhi was obviously also surprised, so he couldn't affirm Li Xueyan's words for a while.
Facing Li Xueyan's gaze, she hesitated, "It's really big...... It feels like my kitchen is two, no, three the size of it. But your kitchen is very well equipped, and it looks like you have everything, which is really nice. ”
When Li Xueyan heard her say this, she began to look carefully at her kitchen again. When the house was first built, she also thought it was quite big, which met her original requirements.
Maybe then I got used to it, plus more and more things were added, and the kitchen was congested a lot, so it didn't look so big. Today, they sighed like this, and Li Xueyan re-realized that the kitchen was very big.
But it doesn't matter.
"I'll show you what's to eat." Li Xueyan led them to the place where she and Duan Yunfei were busy at the beginning, and there were all kinds of diced meat on the table.
Some have been pickled, some have been smoked and roasted, and some have not been processed. Most of them are kept in jars, and some are kept on plates, but these meats have one characteristic, which is fragrant.
"It smells so good! Is there anything you can eat? Gu Hengzhi picked up a small jar and looked at it, put it down again, and then picked up another one to see if it could be eaten.
"Don't look for it, I'll take a look...... This, this, and this, can be eaten directly. Li Xueyan looked at it, picked out a few cans from the table, handed them to Gu Hengzhi, and motioned for him to taste them.
Gu Heng was not polite at all, he opened the lid and was ready to start eating directly, but was slapped open by Gu Manzhi mercilessly, "Take chopsticks to eat!" Is it okay to pay attention to the image? ”
Gu Hengzhi said indifferently: "There are only a few people here, tell me, who should I pay attention to in front of my image?" Sister-in-law? But she's already my brother's. ”
Although he said this, he didn't disobey Gu Manzhi, he obediently put down the jar, turned his head and looked around, as if he was looking for chopsticks.
Gu Hengzhi's tone carried a kind of regret for the lack of beating, Duan Yunfei did not disappoint him, and directly reached out and knocked on his back, slapping Gu Hengzhi with a shudder.
The force is not big, and the shot does not hurt, the key is to be scared.
"What are you doing! Sudden raid from behind! Want to fight?! Gu Hengzhi shouted, and almost jumped up on the spot.
Duan Yunfei said expressionlessly: "Your brother is still here, so he blatantly misses your sister-in-law?" This slap didn't give you a stupid beating, even if I'm worthy of you, and still fighting? Who have you ever beaten? ”
Gu Hengzhi was unhappy, and just wanted to refute, but Duan Yunfei stretched out his hand and pointed to a place, "The chopsticks are there, take them yourself, and then eat the meat and don't talk." ”
Originally, Gu Hengzhi was still very dissatisfied with Duan Yunfei's attitude, but as soon as he thought of having meat to eat, this dissatisfaction disappeared, and he went to get chopsticks.
"I'm going to eat it too!" Deng Mingyou shouted beside him, "Uncle take a few more pairs of chopsticks, and Xiao Nuan!" ”
Gu Manzhi smiled, "Xiao Nuan is probably tired of eating at home every day, how can it be rare to eat with you?" ”
"I'm going to eat with Xiao Nuan!" Deng Mingyou felt that his mother's words made sense, but he just liked to eat with Li Xiaonuan. "Here, give you chopsticks!"
Li Xiaonuan also took it with a smile.
