Chapter 349: Winter Solstice
"Be a fart, you don't have to spend money, you know how to eat!" Wang Yazhi took a bite with a dark face.
"You're getting more and more ..... now," Yu Daming said half a sentence, and suddenly felt so boring, so he turned his face away and stopped talking.
"Look at people, everything is decent!" Wang Yazhi couldn't help but shake her head again and again and sighed: "There are a lot of gifts for the Chinese New Year, and it's good to buy some meat and spend a fee to get some sausages." ”
This idea originated from Kou Xi's previous life, her family conditions were not good, but there was always a time when she needed to move around. She couldn't afford anything else, so she poured some sausages and gave them away. The meat was freshly churned from the butcher's shop, and she watched it herself. In her previous life, her father liked to eat pure sausages, but she preferred sausages with a lot of powder and spices.
Therefore, Kou Xi pondered that if he didn't open a clothing store first, he could also do some cooked food, although cooked food was harder, it was easier to learn, and it was easier to mobilize the whole family.
She also wants to get an oden in the winter and a refrigerator to sell freezers in the summer, so as to attract all the children in the town. Wait until the conditions are more mature, and then learn the craft of baking, bake a cake and biscuits. Then my store has become a small fresh supermarket, and it is difficult to make money!
There was nothing to do in the afternoon, and Mrs. Kou beckoned Kou Xi to go back to the house to make dumplings. Kou Xi's cooking skills are good, and his work is better than Hao Hongmei's. Kou Xi can use a rolling pin to roll out two dumpling wrappers, speeding up the speed of making dumplings.
"You said that you kid, how did you learn such ability now!" Tang Jinzhi looked at Kou Xi with admiration while wrapping dumplings: "You have become so unknown to me!"
"What don't you know, do I have bigger eyes or a higher bridge of my nose?" Kou Xi joked: "Can you get married the same as when you were at home!"
"Hey, by the way, what's going on with Huo An now?" Speaking of getting married, Tang Jinzhi felt as if he hadn't heard from Huo An for a long time.
"You stay with us at your mother's house every day, I always forget that you are married!" "Isn't it because her husband is away all the year round, and this son-in-law's sense of existence is too low?
Kou Xi sighed abruptly: "Last time I called their unit, they said that they couldn't reveal too much about the mission. ”
Tang Jinzhi silently put down the dumplings when he heard this, and a sympathetic expression appeared on his face: "Child, don't get angry." That's what it's like to be a soldier, don't you see your eldest brother also has to go out to beg for a living. It's good that Huo An's drought and flood harvest are not better than your brother!"
Kou Xi sighed: "At least my brother is safe, just let him go home if you want to see him." I really don't know if our family is safe now. You can't ask where you went, when you left, when you came back, and what you did. When he reaches out to you, you know that there is such a person. But if he doesn't contact you, it's like being thrown into outer space, and I can't catch this person!"
Tang Jinzhi looked at Kou Xi sympathetically, and could only follow her and said: "It's okay to take it slowly, after two years, he will be promoted and you will join the army, and the two of you will be together every day." ”
"Oh, it's not good to be together, it's far away and close to the smelly, don't fight and talk about it!" Old Mrs. Kou laughed and said: "Your second aunt brought back a lot of Su Ziye, and you have to go back to your mother-in-law's house to see if it's the winter solstice, and take some Su Ziye." ”
"Don't go, what are you doing when you have nothing to do!" Kou Xi pouted and looked very disgusted.
"Tsk!" Old Lady Kou frowned and stopped making dumplings: "You kid, why are you so tough." What are you talking about, that's Huo An's father, you have to be filial to your in-laws as a daughter-in-law. If you didn't let you serve you with and urine, you would burn high incense, and one day Huo Dagui would be paralyzed on the kang, and you would have to serve. ”
"People like you have to laugh at me, I didn't teach you well, and you have to be a woman. Mrs. Kou pointed at Tang Jinzhi: "Look at your second aunt, look at your sister-in-law, these are all your examples." Sometimes I want to say that you really got spoiled by your dad. This day makes you toss, your father still supports you, I think I support you a big poop. ”
Although they said so, in fact, the old couple had been helping Kou Xi all along. The cooked food in the cauldron here, Mrs. Kou has been helping to watch the fire. When people were busy, Old Man Kou was also staring at him, preventing anyone from getting close to the money box or stealing things.
The old man has always liked to eat pig's tails, and Kou Xi never sold one after he marinated it, and kept it all for the old man. This filial piety, the old couple sees it in their eyes, but they will never declare it.
After making the dumplings, Mrs. Kou instructed Kou Xi: "Go, send a pot to your mother-in-law's house." Go get two more pig tails and decorate the peanuts. ”
"No!" Kou Xi made a bitter face: "That's what I kept for my grandfather, and I don't appreciate it for them to eat!"
"Send it!" Tang Jinzhi stirred the pot clockwise with a fence, and then scooped the first pot of dumplings into the cyan enamel basin on the side: "That's not to make them happy, what can a pot of dumplings do." That's for outsiders to see, to let people know that you didn't lose his parents by being Huo An's daughter-in-law!"
Kou Xi sneered: "In that case, what are you doing with food, and you won't be able to leave it for the day Huo An goes home." It's better to buy something that can be kept, so that Huo An can see it at a glance!"
"It's useless for Huo An to see what he can't see, your grandmother asked you to do this for the neighbors to see!" Tang Jinzhi glanced at Kou Xi: "You kid....."
Kou Xi learned a little bit of the so-called way of life from the older generation, she could only resigned herself to the front and took a little sugar-coated peanuts and some strange peanuts. He took four pig's tails from the kitchen basin and picked up the bowl of dumplings with the lid on them.
Seeing this, Wang Yazhi asked, "Are you going back to your husband?"
"yes, isn't it the winter solstice today? Sister, you should also close the stall early, there will be no one in the afternoon. Kou Xi thought about it and took a pork liver from the cooked food plate, wrapped it in oilproof paper and said to Da Ming: "Auntie is probably busy making dumplings at home, and this pork liver is kept for you to add vegetables." ”
"No, you can keep it and sell it. It's very expensive!" Wang Yazhi hurriedly excused herself: "You don't have to think about us everything, this has a cost!"
"Why don't you ......" Yu Daming pointed to the plates of peanuts and whispered: "Take some peanuts, my mother hasn't tasted them yet!"
"I haven't tasted it, you won't buy it for your mother, what do you want from the housekeeper!" Wang Yazhi glared at Yu Daming when she heard this, and Yu Daming instantly retorted: "I said I won't give money, you have nothing to do every day!"
Wang Yazhi rolled her eyes and said angrily: "I don't know you yet!"
Kou Xi didn't want to see these two people bickering, and the more she looked at this situation, the more worried she was about Huo Anlai.
In her previous life, she didn't remember such an experience, was it because she didn't care too much about Huo An, or was it because she was reborn, and Huo An's original trajectory changed?
