Mama Jin perfunctory twice, but she didn't stop Han's questioning.

Ye Xinyan looked at this, and didn't give a down-to-earth word, as if she couldn't get by, so she took over, "Second aunt, this rice tofu is just a worthless snack, let's also happen to make it and use it to earn a living." In the future, this is what we use to make a living, and our family of three is all pointing to this to earn food and clothing. ”

Although Ye Xinyan did not directly say no, she also made it clear that her family would not tell others about the practice of rice tofu.

When Han Shi heard this, his face couldn't hold back, and he was slightly dissatisfied, "Niece, I'm not the one who likes to inquire. It's just that I think this food tastes good, if you can make the family have more daily meals, you can also make the tired men eat more smoothly, and I don't have the intention of grabbing business with you. ”

Although Sanshun is the youngest child of the Qi family, he is also eight years old, and he is a half-old child, and he seems to be unhappy when he hears his mother's words, so he hurriedly pulled Han's clothes, thinking about going home early.

But the Han family didn't plan to go back like this, they just looked at Ye Xinyan with a smile, wanting to see what this foreign abandoned woman had to say, this was their Qi family's territory.

Qi Younian heard that Han's words were wrong, and hurriedly said: "Dagen daughter-in-law, Ye Zixiao's child's family, it may not be so good to speak, don't worry about her." This rice tofu is made of white rice, which is very troublesome to make, and if it is just a meal at home, it takes so much time to make, I am afraid it is not worth it. In the future, we will start to set up stalls, if our own family wants to eat, is it not simple? Just do more. ”

It's nice to say, isn't it the same not to tell? It's a shame that his father-in-law regards his second brother as a close relative, but the second uncle of the family doesn't treat the Qi family's big house relatives.

Han stood up, dusted off his dusty clothes, and said with a faint smile: "Second uncle is polite, how can we eat the business that your family uses to make ends meet." My father is really thinking about and thinking about helping the second uncle, why do we ignore the old man's wishes and come to your family's things for nothing? ”

After speaking, he didn't even say anything about the farewell scene, and went home.

Ye Xinyan sent Han out of the hospital, and when she returned, she said to Qi Younian with some apologies: "Grandpa, I didn't speak well and thought simply. I didn't expect the second aunt to be so unhappy. ”

Qi Younian waved his hand and said indifferently: "You don't have to think about it so much. In this life, how can everything go well, and it is impossible to make everyone happy and satisfied. Our family still wants to use this food to earn food and clothing, so naturally we can't tell others casually. ”

"The problem is, the second aunt is not an outsider." Ye Xinyan was a little apprehensive, she didn't expect that the two families who didn't live together would also have such unpleasantness. You know, that's the person closest to the old man Qi Younian.

Qi Younian said with a smile: "The Han family is not an outsider, but after all, it is not from our second room, and it is not even just the Qi family. What the Han family knows, maybe your uncle and grandfather's family will know. When the time comes, the maiden family of your two aunts, your cousin-in-law's maiden family, and even your uncle's grandmother's maiden family, who knows if they will also know by the way. Everyone has a field to eat, at present, only our family has no field, rice tofu is our family's livelihood, how can someone rob the job? Don't worry about that, as long as we do our part, we don't care what they think. ”

"Hmm." Ye Xinyan nodded.

Her luck was good, when she was desperate, she met the old man Qi Younian, who not only gave her an identity to survive, but also such an open-minded and transparent old man.

……

In the following time, Ye Xinyan accompanied Qi Younian to the distant mountains and helped him cut down trees. Use the cut tree trunk to exchange it for the wood that has been dried by others.

Cutting down trees can not only be exchanged for wood for tables, chairs and benches, but also more real matches, which Ye Xinyan does every day.

During this period, she made rice tofu twice more and felt that it was close to the taste in her memory, so she stopped. And the big house and the third room of the Qi family also followed suit and ate the delicious rice tofu twice.

In the past few days, Ye Xinyan has been walking around the village a lot, and she has also seen a few times the grandson of Qi Yourong's family who did things at a young age, it is indeed a motherless child, this child is called Qi Congming.

Qi Yourong's youngest son Qi Liang's original partner Zhang, who injured his body when he gave birth to Qi Congming, and Qi Congming just turned one year old, and Zhang died.

Qi Yourong's two sons are hard-won, and they can be regarded as old men, especially the youngest son Qi Liang, who is even more spoiled by the old couple. When Zhang was sick in bed, Qi Liang had a relationship with a woman from a neighboring village.

Not long after Zhang's death, the third room of the Qi family married Qi Liang to Pang Zi, and she was the woman who had dealings with him.

Pang Zi also competed, got married for three months, became pregnant, and after being pregnant in October, he got a man in one fell swoop. Pang Zi already thought that Qi Congming was cumbersome, but now that he has his own child, he looks down on this child who is less than three years old.

Qi Congming began to work at home and outside the home at a young age. In the eyes of everyone in Qinghe Village, Pang Zi doesn't seem to find fault with his abusive son, but he can't do a good job, but he has to be beaten and scolded.

Qi Liang naturally looked at his daughter-in-law, and Qi Yourong and his wife didn't worry about anything, as long as they didn't make trouble for the two of them. As a result, Qi Congming became a child who grew up in the courtyard of the third room, but was helpless.

Probably because Qi Congming has not been loved and taught since he was a child, but he has suffered a cold reception, and he doesn't talk much when he is young. Although he is now more than four years old, he still does not speak, and he is silent all day.

In order not to make trouble for this child, Ye Xinyan did not take special care of him and treated him affectionately. If she showed kindness to this child, who knows if it would make Pang jealous. She only knew that if she couldn't give this child fundamental benefits, she shouldn't trouble him.

It's just that every time she goes to the third room, she will look at Qi Congming a few more times and ask the adults in the third room a few words. In order to let the people in the third room know that there are still people who pay attention to this child, they should not go too far.

Every time she left the third room, Ye Xinyan felt a deep sense of powerlessness. watched this child do things that she couldn't do every day, but sadly found that it was someone else's family affair, and she couldn't do more.

After seven or eight busy days, Carpenter Wang made a cupboard and a wardrobe, and the rest was not in a hurry. Qi Younian not only repaired the doors and windows of the room, but also made two small kang tables, two chairs, and a few stools.

Qi Younian thought that if he set up a stall to sell rice tofu, he would naturally have tables and stools, so he planned to make it together.

They set up stalls in the county seat, but there was no place to stay, and there was only a place for donkey carts. In order to facilitate transportation, Ye Xinyan gave Qi Younian an idea and asked him to make tables and stools that could be folded.
