Cheng Yufeng's father Cheng Jike, who was a few steps behind She Fengxia, was also full of smiles, he was about a head taller than She Fengxia, his skin was as dark as Cheng Yufeng's, and his eyes were as big as Cheng Yufeng's.

In Mayali's previous life, her aunt had complained more than once that his two sons would not grow up—inheriting his dark skin, big eyes, and his daughter-in-law's short stature, and not the good things at all.

Thinking of her aunt's resentment, Mei Yali couldn't help laughing, she stared at a pair of big black eyes, and carefully looked at Cheng Jike and She Fengxia, who were dozens of years younger than she remembered.

There were no gray hairs, no wrinkles on her face, and her spirit was much better than the last time she saw them in her previous life.

Mei Yali held her little tender paws in She Yufen's arms, and secretly sighed in her heart, "It's good to be young."

The group talked and laughed, you and I entered the house, She Fengxia took out apples, oranges, peanuts, melon seeds and other things for She Yufen and them to eat, and Cheng Jike brought a kettle to make tea and sugar water for them.

In the course of everyone's conversation, Mei Yali gradually understood how the job of selling tofu came about.

It turned out that the family that her father and mother were going to take over was Cheng Yufeng's second aunt's nephew, and the reason why she had to find someone to replace her for two months was because the old lady of his family accidentally broke her leg when she went to the village to fetch water.

“...... The old man of his family passed away early, and Ding Hua had no other brothers and sisters, and the old lady fell, and Ding Hua's two children were immediately left alone. The eldest is five years old, the younger is three years old, and they can't leave people at all. Ding Hua's daughter-in-law took the car back to her hometown on the same day. It's the day before yesterday. Cheng Jike sighed as he spoke, "When Yufeng sends you over, Ding Hua will also take the car back immediately." ”

When Mei Zhijun heard this, he hurriedly said to Cheng Yufeng: "Then my sister and I will go over now." It's good to let Ding Hua go home early. ”

The old man broke his leg and was lying on the bed, and the two children needed to be taken care of.

Thinking that Ding Hua must be anxious at this time, Mei Zhijun felt that it would be better for them to go over immediately.

Cheng Yufeng waved his hand at him, "No matter how anxious you are, don't be in a hurry for a while." My mother has already cooked the meal, and I will send you and my eldest sister over as soon as I finish eating. ”

She Fengxia followed Cheng Yufeng's words while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks and said to Mei Zhijun: "Ding Hua and his daughter-in-law went directly to the hospital to take care of her mother-in-law as soon as they got out of the car, and the two children of their family are now at Yufeng's second aunt's house, and someone is watching." ”

When Mei Zhijun heard this, he couldn't help but laugh at his own hurry.

Although Ding Hua has only one widowed mother, their old Ding family is also a big family living in the same village, and if something happens, those relatives of their family will definitely not all stand idly by.

Although nine out of ten rural people here live a tight life for half a day, and they don't have the ability or time to help others too much, most of the villagers are still willing to help their neighbors or relatives at a critical moment.

Even if the young adults in the family are busy making a living and can't spare time, the elderly and half-grown children who can't do much work can still come in handy.

With their help, Ding Hua was able to grit his teeth and find someone to replace him, instead of having to rush back to his hometown as soon as possible.

After She Fengxia and her family had an extremely sumptuous lunch, Mei Zhijun's family of three got on Cheng Yufeng's tricycle again surrounded by She Fengxia and others.

The tricycle went very fast, and the howling cold wind blew on the people, and the force was several times greater than when they walked.

Mei Yali was tightly held in her arms by She Yufen, and the cold wind could only blow on She Yufen's back, but it couldn't blow Mei Yali in front of her.

Fortunately, She Fengxia took two sheepskin jackets for them to keep out the cold, so that they would not be frozen in the cold wind.

An hour and a half later, Cheng Yufeng parked his tricycle in front of a large courtyard east of the Yuanbaoshan power plant.

"Sixth brother! Sixth brother! After parking the car, Cheng Yufeng walked over and banged on the door hard.

Mei Zhijun and She Yufen also got out of the car, and the two of them stomped their feet to relieve the stiffness and coldness all over their bodies.

After a while, a thin young man with a black mole under the left corner of his mouth walked out.

"It's Yufeng." The person who came was Ding Hua, he was the sixth in the Ding family's generation, and Cheng Yufeng followed his second aunt's cousin and called him the sixth brother.

"This is my eldest sister, She Yufen, my brother-in-law, Mei Zhijun." Cheng Yufeng pointed to She Yufen and Mei Zhijun and said to Ding Hua: "They are all good at work, they are diligent, and they love to be clean. ”

Ding Hua tried to squeeze out a smile, "I'm sorry for you." Come inside and talk. ”

Mei Yali was carried into the courtyard by She Yufen, and almost at the same time, a smell of raw beans, cooked beans, and half-cooked beans suddenly filled everyone's noses.

Mei Yali is very familiar with this taste, and in the first 12 years of her last life, every lunar month, their family would make a lot of tofu and keep it for leisure.

Because of the lack of manpower in the family, Mei Yali has been helping since she can remember.

Her job is very simple, which is to help filter the okara in the bean juice before taking the brine and ordering tofu.

Since the filtered soy juice is boiled in a large pot, Mayali smells the juice as it changes from raw to cooked for hours at a time.

Because it really doesn't smell tight, she especially rejected drinking soy milk and eating tofu brains in her previous life.

No way, the smell of these two things easily reminded her of the smell of half-cooked bean juice.

"Yufeng told you everything, right? My family and I won't be back until the second of February, and if you do this job, the year will be over at the power plant. Ding Hua poured three cups of hot water and handed them to Cheng Yufeng, Mei Zhijun and She Yufen.

Mei Zhijun nodded hurriedly, "I said." ”

"Then I'll take you to the tofu shop later." Ding Hua breathed a sigh of relief, "The treatment will be given as agreed before, including food and accommodation, and one hundred yuan a month per person." ”

After a pause, he looked at Mei Zhijun's face and asked, "Do you have any other requirements?" ”

Mei Zhijun shook his head again and again, "No, no, this is already very good." ”

Ding Hua's face rarely brought a smile, "If you want, you can also make your own tofu and sell it in the vegetable market next to the power plant, and you can sell two or three versions of tofu a day." You can buy the beans and brine for tofu with the power plant, which is cheaper than going out and buying them alone. I bought the bean-threshing machine myself, so you can use it as you please. ”

As soon as he said that, Mei Zhijun nodded.

Ding Hua then told him some precautions such as how much tofu the power plant should send every day, where to buy beans and brine for making tofu, and how to pick them.
