Chapter 33: The Aroma of Stew

Aunt Qi sent the cleaned pig's feet over, along with a casserole and a small lotus root coal stove, and also sent dozens of briquettes.

"Thank you, thank you!" Liu Yumei thanked her and kept wiping her tears.

"I look at your mother pitiful, and you are also benevolent and righteous, I hope you will do it yourself, don't provoke tongue." Aunt Qi said, taking a deep look at Hengqiao.

Heng Qiao didn't speak, so she naturally knew what Aunt Qi meant, which was nothing more than to keep her distance from Lu Yu and not be delusional. She took out a pen and paper, wrote a lease contract, and asked Aunt Seven to sign it.

"Why do you want to fix this?"

"This must be rectified, after signing, we are a lease relationship, I pay you rent, you give us a house, we can't damage the contract at will." Hengqiao smiled.

The seventh aunt looked at it, hesitated for a while, and signed the contract.

At that time, a broken house could be rented for 30 yuan a month, and she was not unimpressed. Now that she has done it as a good person and has the money, why not do it.

"I'll pay you as soon as I can." Hengqiao carefully folded the contract, and with it, the four of them had a place to settle down.

After Aunt Qi left, it was still early, so Hengqiao split a bamboo pole on the hill behind the house, took out the fishing hook and nylon line he bought in the town in the morning, and made a long fishing rod.

"You're going fishing?" Brother Zhao Pan Brother happily surrounded her.

"Yes, you two carry a bucket for me." Heng Qiao smiled.

"Great!" The two little ones don't go back to their uncle's house, they are happy.

When Heng Qiao went out, he told Liu Yumei to wash the board sent by the seventh uncle, prepare some firewood, and use it early tomorrow.

She took her sisters to the river, cast a handful of bait, and released the fishing rod.

Luckily, before the sun went down, she caught several large crucian carp, and the three sisters returned with a full load.

"Are we going to make fresh fish soup?" Brother Zhao asked happily.

Heng Qiao said apologetically: "No, tomorrow my sister will boil crucian carp porridge, and I will make soup next time I catch it, okay?" ”

"Okay, my sister earns money, so we can have food and clothes to wear before we can go to school." Brother Pan touched Brother Zhao's head and nodded sensibly.

Liu Yumei had already stewed the pig's feet, and the smell of stewed meat in this room immediately dispelled the musty smell that had not been lived for a long time, and there was a smell of fireworks and a taste of home.

Hengqiao went to the Lu family and bought a basket of sweet potatoes with Aunt Seven for 5 cents, and Aunt Seven gave her a handful of radish vegetables and a few garlic leaves.

After Hengqiao came back, he sliced the sweet potato, put a little lard, put it in the pig's knuckle soup and cooked it, and put the garlic leaves in it when he got out of the pot, and served several large bowls of fragrant food.

Brother Zhao and Brother Pan ate very deliciously, Brother Zhao nibbled on the hoof flowers, smashed his mouth and smiled: "Today is really like the New Year, I ate meat for a day!" ”

Brother Pan grabbed a bone with both hands, gnawed a mouthful of oil and water, and said with a smile: "My sister's cooking is really delicious!" ”

Hengqiao watched his two sisters eat so deliciously, and he was happy and satisfied in his heart.

Liu Yumei ate some broth, but she always had a bitter face and sighed. Hengqiao didn't bother to pay attention to her, and after everyone finished eating, she began to prepare tomorrow's pumpkin pie and steamed buns.

It was dark, the light of the flashlight was shining here, Hengqiao looked out through the window, and listened to the sound as if Wang Liuhong and Liu Qian were coming.

When Liu Yumei heard the voices of the two of them, she immediately became nervous, she stood beside Hengqiao, and asked in a low voice, "Why are they here again?" You're not going to write anything else, are you? ”

Heng Qiao said angrily: "No! ”

"Brother Xiaoyu!" Liu Qian left her mother, called out to Lu Yu in a coquettish voice, and trotted into the courtyard of the Lu family.
