Yu Mian said: "What do you want to buy for a while, everyone thinks about it first, and when you get to the street and see what you want to buy, tell your aunt." ”

"Really?"

"Of course, when did Auntie lie to you?"

"Yay!"

The younger sister jumped up happily, and the other children were also very happy.

Only Sanbao asked coldly: "Auntie, let's ...... Do we still have money? ”

The words fell, and the other children fell silent.

The younger sister covered her mouth, as if she thought she had said the wrong thing.

Erbao hurriedly agreed: "Yes, we don't have to buy anything, auntie, let's save this money, we don't have to spend money." ”

"Yes, we don't spend money."

My sister smiled and said, "Let's just go out and have a look, don't buy it and don't spend money!" ”

These children, one is sensible, although Yu Mian is pleased, but also very distressed.

The broken silver that Li Huaice had saved before was handed over to Yu Mian for safekeeping, and they didn't spend much money these days, and it was enough to buy some daily necessities and food.

It's just that if you want to go all the way to Shengjing, I'm afraid you have to think of some profitable deals.

But these things, it's not the turn of these little radish heads to worry about.

Yu Mian smiled and said, "Don't worry, my aunt will find a way to continue to make money these days, just prepare for the New Year happily!" ”

"Good!"

Although the children agreed, when they got to the street, no one asked Yu Mian for anything.

Even when Yu Mian took the initiative to ask, they shook their heads like rattles, and refused to ask for anything.

Yu Mian knew that these children were afraid of poverty, Shengjing was far away from the mountains and rivers, they were not afraid of hardship, but they were afraid of becoming a burden, so when it came to money, they were a little more careful in what they did.

Later, Yu Mian was a small vendor selling sugar gourds, and Yu Mian didn't ask, but directly asked for several.

It's rare to meet a candy gourd seller, and it's good to buy it to satisfy the children's cravings, but it won't cost a lot of money anyway.

They can have one for each person!

The children were very happy.

Later, Yu Mian bought some meat and vegetables, as well as some basic rice, flour, grain and oil, and in the next few days, they had to prepare things for the New Year.

After seeing the stall selling Spring Festival couplets, Yu Mian asked, "Do we want to buy a pair?" For the New Year, you have to put the red on the door. ”

"We can write it ourselves."

"Huh? Do you write it? ”

Yu Mian looked at Li Huaice.

Li Huaize smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'll write it." ”

Yu Mian sighed and said with a smile: "Okay, I saved another sum of money." ”

After shopping, the group of them went home, and the younger sister was still carrying a sugar gourd in her hand, as if she was carrying some treasure.

She said it was for Uncle Money.

When she got home, Yu Mian was preparing to make lunch.

The children said that they wanted to eat steamed buns, and it happened that Yu Mian and they went to the street to buy a lot of meat, and there were a few cabbages at home, so they happened to make some steamed buns filled with cabbage and meat.

"I'll cook, and you guys can play in the house."

Yu Mian turned his head to go out, but Li Huaize followed.

Yu Mian couldn't help but turn around and remind: "You also stay here, play with them, I don't need you to help." ”

“……”

Li Huaize looked at Yu Mian quietly, and asked with a smile: "It's not okay to look at you?" ”

This......

It doesn't seem impossible.

Yu Mian pursed his lips and said, "Okay, then you come with me." ”

Li Huaize obediently followed Yu Mian out, and the children behind him covered their mouths and smiled.

Although he said that he didn't have to do anything, Li Huaize couldn't bear to see Yu Mian busy working alone.

He first boiled a kettle of hot water, and then waited for the vegetables to be washed, and when Yu Mian was chopping the meat next to him, he had already packed up the firewood and burned the stove.

A lot of water was put in the pot, and Li Huaize prepared some shredded ginger at the same time, planning to boil a ginger soup to drink first.

Recently, the weather was very cold, and the children went to the street again, and his own body was not very comfortable, so he made some ginger soup by himself, saving Yu Mian from worrying.

When the two of them were working, they didn't talk much, but it was this quiet atmosphere that was particularly sultry.

In Li Huaice's words, it is a feeling of living.

Li Wice washed the dishes, Yu Mian had already made the meat filling, and then Li Wice helped chop the vegetables, and Yu Mian went to the noodles.

When they do things, they still have a tacit understanding.

Everything is ready, and the effort of simply making steamed buns is the most time-saving and labor-saving.

It's cold today, and Yu Mian didn't make noodles in advance, so before serving the pot, you must let the buns wake up by themselves for a while, so that the steamed buns will be soft and fluffy, and they won't collapse.

After steaming the steamed buns, Yu Mian returned to the room with ginger soup and let the children drink a bowl of it.

Of course, she and Li Huaize did not fall behind.

After the buns came out of the pot, Yu Mian made another pot of egg soup, which was just right to eat with it.

After the children began to eat, Yu Mian was not in a hurry to eat, she went to several rooms next to her to rummage through the cabinets and look for things for a while, and finally let her find two food boxes.

"Do what?"

Li Huaize asked, "Do you want to go to the front yard to deliver food?" ”

"Uncle Qian has just arrived, there must be a lot of things to deal with, it's been this hour, and I haven't seen him come back, I guess I'm busy forgetting the time, I just made so many steamed buns today, let's take some over, and then fill some soup, so that they can eat a ready-made one."

"Okay, I'll go find the jar."

"Hmm."

Yu Mian made a lot of steamed buns, Li Wice used the small jar he found to carry some soup, they talked to the children, and then went to the front yard with the food box.

There is a door between the front and back yards, but it is not open on weekdays.

If you officially walk from outside, you will be on the same street, not far away.

So when Yu Mian and the others sent the buns, the buns and egg soup were still hot.

"You guys, you can be regarded as saving me!"

Qian Ruming walked out with a smile, greeted Yu Mian and them into the house, and said as he walked: "The road has been delayed for a few days, and the official business here has been piled up, and I really can't leave, fortunately, you still remember me." ”

"Of course you can't forget you, come on, come on, I made steamed buns and hot soup, you eat some first."

"Good, good."

Qian Ruming casually lifted the lid of the food box, took out a bun, and hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth.

"Incense!"

A bun, eating a mouthful of oil.

Yu Mian couldn't help but laugh, "You slow down." ”

"Okay, okay, go and sit down, don't be restrained."

Qian Ruming said and walked around to the back of the desk, carefully removing the documents and straw paper placed on the desk.

Yu Mian inadvertently saw the portrait on it, and couldn't help asking, "...... is this?" ”

"Wanted."

Qian Ruming didn't look up and explained: "I just drew it, and I haven't had time to post it yet." ”

I don't know what to think, Yu Mian suddenly laughed.

Qian Ruming bit the bun in his mouth, raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
