With a new home, a new room and a new bedding, Grandma Huang added the icing on the cake, and also made a new set of clothes for her daughter's family, it is now the end of May, the weather is hot, just change into thin clothes.

At Qingbao's request, the family took a shower before changing into new clothes.

The new home, new house, new bedding and new clothes made Qingbao's family clean from head to toe, and the family was even refreshed.

Throughout the day, the family scrubbed and washed in the new house, cleaning up the house.

Qingbao's clothes were bought by Grandma Huang, a pink breast-length skirt with a long streamer. When he was in the village, it may also be because he wore cotton clothes in winter, Qingbao didn't see anyone wearing this kind of clothes, and he didn't know how to wear them, so he had to turn to Huang Liuniang for help, and under the guidance of Huang Liuniang, he put on this beautiful dress.

According to Huang Liuniang, the style of this dress is called a full-breasted skirt, and the little girls here love to wear this kind of clothes, and they are very beautiful and cute after wearing them. Married women like them usually wear waist-length skirts, which makes it easier to work.

Qingbao has heard of such a thing as a skirt, but what it looks like is the first time I've seen it today.

When she put that full-breasted skirt on her body, she felt so elegant, with a long skirt and flowing belts, and she felt like a little fairy.

Huang Liuniang brought a comb and helped Qingbao comb a hairstyle, coiled her hair on her head, and left two buns on the side. Huang Liuniang told Qingbao that this is a double bun, and little girls and unmarried girls can comb this hairstyle.

Qingbao has long known that the hairstyles combed by married and unmarried people in ancient times were different, but she didn't pay attention to these in her previous life, and Huang Liuniang didn't care much about her after crossing over in this life, so she spent several months with black eyes.

Afraid that he would make jokes in the future, Qing Bao asked Huang Liuniang for advice on clothes and hairstyles.

Huang Liuniang also knows that she is not in the village now, and her daughter should also learn to dress up.

The mother and daughter teach one and the other learn, but they also have fun.

Avoiding her mother-in-law and concubine who oppressed her, Huang Liuniang was very happy, and while she was happy, she forgave Xia Shouping.

When the father and mother are together, the children are even happier, and the four pillars are no longer running around and playing, but following Xia Shouping to sell sugar every day, and working hard to earn money to buy a big house.

Qingbao's room, Qingbao said that he would decorate it by himself, without Huang Liuniang's interference. But it was not until the end of the day that I realized that the price of not having Huang Liuniang to intervene was that the room was empty. There was nothing left except a new futon on the kang and a half-worn cabinet in the house.

Although Huang Liuniang gave her fifty yuan, it was really a drop in the bucket for decorating a room.

Qingbao knew that Huang Liuniang wanted to save money to build a house for four pillars to marry a daughter-in-law, so she sensibly did not reach out to Huang Liuniang to ask for money, but decided to invent new candies by herself, this time, make money and spend it yourself.

But what kind of sugar to make?

That's a problem.

Lollipops, bubblegum, marshmallows...... She has eaten all kinds of candy, but when it comes to doing it, except for lollipops, she has no technology or equipment, so forget it.

In Qingbao's thinking, the time soon entered June, and the weather was already very hot.

Summer is actually not a good season to sell sugar, because at high temperatures, sugar must be melted, which is why rock sugar gourds only have winter and summer. Fortunately, due to the peanuts and melon seeds, the peanut melon seed candy did not melt obviously, but it was also sticky and had to be wrapped in small pieces of oiled paper and sold.

This made Qingbao's eyes light up, and he thought of the way to sell packaged candy.

There must be two necessary conditions for packaged candy, one is the wrapping paper, and the other is the candy that does not melt.

The problem of wrapping paper is that there is no plastic in this society, so we can only still use oiled paper, this problem, you can slowly find something to replace it in the future, and the temporary use of oiled paper has no effect.

The sugar that Qingbao uses now is the ready-made sugar he bought. It's easy to make this granulated sugar into syrup, it's easy to make it look like candy, and it's not easy to make it so that it doesn't melt on a hot day.

Fortunately, Dad Xia used to make hard candy for Qingbao, and fortunately, the greedy little Qingbao has been guarding the side of the pot, watching the sugar under Dad Xia's hands take shape little by little.

To put it bluntly, if the requirements for hard candy are not too strict and there is not much technical content, it is boiled on a low fire until the water vapor in the sugar is boiled out, and the sticky one is not good, so it is poured out and cooled, and the rest of the process is almost the same as peanut seed sugar.

Qingbao thought that the taste of hard candy was too simple, so she tried to add juice to it to make fruit hard candy.

Fortunately, summer is a season rich in fruits, Qingbao bought a variety of fruits, pressed them into juice, and when the sugar boiled almost enough, he poured in the juice, and after many experiments, he finally made various flavors of fruit hard candy.

A new product has been developed, which makes Qingbao very happy.

Qingbao took two pieces of watermelon candy and ran to Huang Liuniang's room, wanting to share the joy of success with Huang Liuniang.

The mother and daughter took advantage of Xia Shouping and the four pillars to go out to sell sugar, so they took the sugar to the Huang family.

With Grandma Huang here, they naturally went to Grandma Huang first.

Coincidentally, the second aunt Yu, the third uncle Chen, the fourth uncle Zheng, the fifth uncle Zhao and the eighth uncle Xu are all here.

When Huang Liuniang saw that her sister-in-law and younger siblings were here, she couldn't help laughing and said, "What's wrong today?" Are people so together? It's just a sister-in-law. ”

I didn't expect Huang Liuniang to come up at this juncture, you look at me, I look at you, no one made a sound for a while.

Seeing that her sister-in-law and siblings stopped talking when they saw her coming, Huang Liuniang was a little annoyed, what she said just now was quite lively, no one made a sound as soon as she entered the door, this is obvious, she is regarded as an outsider, although she is married, but she is also the daughter of the Huang family, right?

Huang Liuniang is a strong character, otherwise for so many years, she would not rather be poor in the countryside than a rich mother's family.

Seeing that her sisters-in-law didn't want to see her, she pulled Qingbao and walked out, and said with red eyes: "You discuss things first, and I'll come back later." ”

Zheng, the fourth sister-in-law who was close to the door, hurriedly grabbed her and said with a smile: "What are you going to do, what we said has something to do with you, and it just so happened that you came, we didn't dare to speak out because of our weak hearts." Since you've caught up with you, let's discuss this together. ”

Grandma Huang on the kang also spoke: "Liuniang, come and sit, it's all a family, don't be too outside." What I said today is related to you, and your sisters-in-law didn't speak because they didn't know how to talk to you about it. ”

Huang Liuniang wiped off the little wetness from the corners of her eyes, pulled Qingbao to sit next to Huang Grandmaniang, and then asked, "What is it to do with me?" What's the matter? ”

Grandma Huang looked at her daughters-in-law, and still opened her mouth: "Your sister-in-law is going to marry the eldest girl, and we are here to discuss how much gift money to give." ”

Obviously, Huang Liuniang was shocked by this unexpected news, she took Huang Grandma's hand, and asked anxiously, "Which one?" Is that family good? Have you seen that boy? Is it reliable? The repeated questions have revealed Huang Liuniang's concern for her biological daughter.

The second sister-in-law, Yu, said with a smile: "I heard that it is the Ding family in the south of the city, the family is a good family, the generations are scholarly, and there are people who have been big officials in their ancestors." Although it is a bit declining now, it is not as prosperous as it was back then, but it is also a good family. ”

The third sister-in-law, Chen, continued: "In the past, when my mother's family didn't move, it was quite close to the Ding family, and I saw the child of the Ding family when he was a child, he was very good-looking, he was very smart, and he was said to be very good at reading. Later, my family moved, and I got married, so I never saw each other again. ”

Hearing what the sisters-in-law said, Huang Liuniang breathed a sigh of relief, she had a bad relationship with her sister-in-law Li, she was afraid that the Li family would find a broken family for the eldest girl, and the eldest girl's life would be ruined.

Grandma Huang patted her daughter's hand and said, "Your eldest brother and your sister-in-law mentioned this matter to me, but it hasn't been officially decided yet." I asked your brothers to inquire, if it weren't for a good family, I would definitely not be happy, you can rest assured. ”

After listening to her mother's assurance, Huang Liuniang was more relieved.

Seeing that Huang Liuniang's mood had improved, Huang Grandma asked "Why did you come here at this time?" What about the two pillars? ”

"I went out with his father. Liuya made some fruit candy, and I used it for my nephews and nieces to eat and play. Huang Liuniang dragged the basket she brought and took out nine packets of sugar: "I'm not partial, one bag for one family." With that, Huang Liuniang opened a pack and beckoned her sisters-in-law: "Sister-in-law, brothers and sisters, come and taste it, this candy tastes watermelon-flavored." ”

The concubines all smiled and hugged each other, and one of them took a candy, peeled it and ate it.

"Ah, it really smells like watermelon."

"This candy is different from the sugar we usually eat, you see it's red."

"Liuya's hands are so skillful, I really don't know how she came up with it at such a young age."

……

Several aunts are naturally good at what they hear, and in front of their mother-in-law, they are willing to give face to their sister-in-law, not to mention that this sugar tastes really good.

Grandma Huang couldn't help but be very happy when she saw that her daughter had brought something to her parents' house.

For so many years, her daughter has had a bad life, and she has the heart to help, but her sons and daughters-in-law are watching it with their eyes open, she gives something a little, and the daughters-in-law, especially the eldest daughter-in-law, sneered and talked endlessly. In the past ten years, she has listened to the gossip of her daughter-in-law for the sake of her daughter.

Now, her daughter has finally taken out something decent and returned to her parents' house, it is not uncommon for Grandma Huang to have nothing to do, and her daughter can raise her head in front of her sisters-in-law, which is what she wants to see the most.

The happy Grandma Huang also peeled a piece of candy and put it in her mouth.

Qingbao was afraid that the old lady would break her teeth again if she bit it, so she hurriedly said: "Grandma, this sugar is hard, you can just eat it." ”

Seeing that my niece was thinking about herself, I was very happy.
