Zhu Mantang was surprised again.

Don't you stop and ask what's wrong?

Zhu Xiao naturally won't stop.

Seeing that the two people were not very well dressed, their hair was gray, it was such a cold day, they were still on the road, and they thought they were homeless.

If you really want to stop and ask, what will you do when you hit the carriage all of a sudden?

Take it home? Disgusting people.

Regardless of it, it is rare to be pointed at.

It's better to be ruthless from the beginning.

“……”

Zhu Xiao thought so, drove the carriage for a while, and couldn't help but look back.

In the cold wind, the old couple just supported each other, looking at her and the carriage.

For a moment, it seemed that they were looking at each other, and Zhu Xiao hurriedly turned his head, inexplicably empty-hearted.

Then I told myself vigorously, don't be nosy, there are too many poor people in this world, and I can't be pitied.

She is now in huge debt, and there are so many people in her family waiting to eat, she has not yet found a way to make money, and selling recipes is not a long-term solution.

drove the carriage to the house, Zhu Mantang helped move the things to the hall, Zhu Zhaodi and Zhu Huaer came to help, but Laihua and Shi Yi did not appear, Zhu Xiao suddenly understood that Xun Muyang didn't want Zhu Mantang to know that he lived with her, just like she didn't want Zhu Fugui to know.

"Uncle Mantang, thank you so much!"

"You're welcome, next time you want to go to town, come over early and say, I'll send you there!"

"Good!"

Zhu Xiaomu sent Zhu Mantang away, and then moved everything to the kitchen with everyone.

"I bought so many soybeans!" Laihua asked.

Zhu Xiao nodded.

This is actually quite a lot, and when she makes dried tofu, she will buy more.

"Have you had lunch?" Zhu Xiao asked.

"We ate it, but Childe didn't eat it!" Laihua approached Zhu Xiao and whispered in a low voice.

Zhu Xiao was slightly surprised when he heard this.

Thinking that Xun Muyang hadn't eaten lunch, he went to wash his hands, saw what was still at home, cooked shredded meat and green vegetable noodles for a night, and served it himself.

Laihua stood at the door of the kitchen and watched Zhu Xiao walk slowly.

Exhale softly.

It's not in vain that the son has her in her heart, in fact, she cares more about the son than she shows.

It's just that she has her own concerns, and her brain is extremely clear, so she didn't crash into it, but worked hard to make money and stand side by side with her son.

Although the road is a bit difficult, he believes that she can do it.

Zhu Xiao held his face, paused slightly when he was at the door, and shouted, "Uncle Ayang!" ”

Hearing movement inside, he stepped into the house.

Seeing Xun Muyang reading a book on the kang, he said with a smile, "Uncle Ayang, I cooked you a bowl of noodles, come and eat!" ”

"Hmm!"

Xun Muyang got off the kang and put on shoes.

Go and fetch water to wash your hands.

Then I dried my hands with a handkerchief and smeared some balm before I came over and sat down to eat noodles with chopsticks.

When eating, Xun Muyang was thinking, he had eaten all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but he never seemed to have them, obviously not very good things, but it was sweet in his heart when he ate them.

Seeing Zhu Xiao sitting on the side and not speaking, Xun Muyang asked, "Is it still smooth?" ”

"The journey was very smooth, but on the way back, I saw an old couple waving to us on the side of the road, and I drove the carriage away!"

"The carriage you're driving?"

"Well, it's pretty stable!"

Xun Muyang pursed his lips slightly, "Why didn't you stop the carriage?" ”

"I'm afraid they will bump into me and blackmail me! But then I thought about it, if they just needed us a ride, I just left! Zhu Xiao said bluntly.

Xun Muyang didn't say anything, first ate all the noodles seriously, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and then whispered, "It's not a parent, you don't know them, it's right to stop the carriage, this kind of thing you said, it often happens outside, some people see the carriage coming, and they crash into it regardless of it, and then they slander the owner of the carriage for a sum of money, many car owners are unwilling to entangle in this matter, they all give money, and there are also powerful, they don't give money for anything, and they beat the person who bumped into it, and in the end it's over!" ”

"Did anyone report to the officer?" Zhu Xiao asked.

"Reporter?" Xun Muyang smiled.

The little girl is still too naïve.

"There are two official words, these people do this business, how can there be no one in the yamen, how can they not be dotted? If you meet a clean official, you can still get justice, but if you meet such a corrupt official, don't say justice, more money can be pasted in, and you don't think that those who pass by will testify for you, many people are not concerned about themselves, and no one wants to cause trouble! ”

“……”

Zhu Xiao was silent.

I have to say that Xun Muyang taught her another good lesson.

Like modern times, there are cameras everywhere, and there are still people who touch porcelain.

Not to mention this antiquity that can only rely on the eyes.

Sometimes, the eyes can be deceiving.

"What? Scared? Xun Muyang asked.

Zhu Xiao shook his head and nodded again.

It's just that the strength in my heart that doesn't admit defeat, I still want to work my own, "Uncle Ayang, I ......"

"What are you?"

"I still want to keep working hard, although the fruit of victory is delicious, but if it has not gone through flowering, fruit setting, and fruit that has not been beaten by wind and rain, it will definitely not be delicious!"

"Well, that's a lot of ideas!"

Zhu Xiao got up and began to put away the dishes and chopsticks, "Uncle Ayang, you read the book first, I'll go to work!" ”

"Tiny!"

"Don't you read and practice calligraphy?"

“……”

Zhu Xiao paused.

These days, she really hasn't read books well and hasn't practiced calligraphy well.

"Learn at night!"

Zhu Xiao walked out of the room with a bowl.

Tell yourself vigorously, Zhu Xiao, don't be at a loss, don't be discouraged, don't give up, don't put the cart before the horse, and don't turn your back on the influence of the outside world.

The road you are taking now has been walked at the beginning, and at that time you had nothing, and you still walked so far and stood so high.

At that time, I made money just to prove that I was alive, and there were people in the world who knew that there was such a you.

Now you have a Xun Muyang behind you, and all your efforts are for a happy life in the future.

Took a deep breath.

Zhu Xiao returned to the kitchen and began to soak beans.

Then he called Laihua for help, grinded soy milk together, and found a gauze bag to surround in a round bamboo basket.

Wait until the soybean milk is boiled in the pot, add brine, wait until the tofu flowers appear, scoop some tofu flowers and pour them into the gauze bag, put a layer on them, tidy up the bag, and hold a big stone to press it.

“……”

“……”

“……”

They all looked at Zhu Xiao puzzled, "Can you make dried tofu like this?" Laihua asked.

"I don't know yet, it should be possible, wait for an hour to open it and see if it's done, and I'm doing it for the first time!" Zhu went to get the rest of the tofu flowers up again and made them into tofu.

I thought about sending some to Zhu Fugui's family later.

Cut out all the dried chili peppers you bought.

"What is this for?" Laihua asked again.

"Make chili sauce!"
