Chapter 138: Nougat
"Did you hear me wrong? I'm saying it's a child's favorite taste! By the way, isn't it time to send firewood today? Why haven't you delivered it yet? Xia Qiyue hurriedly diverted the topic.
"Shouldn't it be soon? The last time it was delivered before dark! "Xia Jiu was really fooled.
"Okay, then wait, come and taste it, this is my newly researched sugar, nougat!"
Xia Jiujiu thought what kind of pastry it was just now, the fragrant milk girl, It turned out to be the candy newly made by her sister, so she picked it up and put it in her mouth with some curiosity.
The next moment, Xia Jiujiu's whole person was about to jump, and the excitement that came from the heart after eating something incomparably delicious was exaggerated and real.
"Eldest sister, this... It's also so delicious, sweeter and more fragrant than halva! And the taste of milk, it's so delicious! "Chewing the nougat in your mouth hard, dancing with your hands" and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes! ”
"It's too exaggerated for you, pay attention to the image!" Xia Qiyue patted her sister's shoulder funny.
At this time, she showed her childish side, and she was only a fifteen-year-old child, and she would still be a child in the afterlife.
"What's wrong with you?" Xia Xinghe heard the movement and ran in, and the anxious look on his face was full of anxiety.
"Come, come, come! Try the eldest sister's newly made sugar, which is even better than halva! Xia Jiu hurriedly beckoned his younger brother in.
As soon as Xia Xinghe heard that it was sugar, he had no resistance at all, so he hurriedly put the nougat in the second sister's hand into her mouth, and then... The performance that was even more exaggerated than Xia Jiu made Xia Qi full of confidence.
"Okay, you two don't play tricks, hurry up and give it to the others to taste! I'll do a little more to come out! ”
Xia Qiyue let Xia Xinghe take a small plate of nougat, but he didn't let go of the scrap on the side, this is all sugar, anyway, if you don't want it, just take it to them to eat, and if you can't eat it, you can take it home.
Xia Qiyue didn't care, just go with his younger brother and let him take it, his younger brothers and sisters are much more confident than when they first met her, and they are not as inferior as before.
"Sister, can I help you?" Xia Jiujiu saw that she had nothing to do, so she offered to help her.
"No need, you boil some hot water, you have to take a bath for the three children today, although it is cold, you can't help but wash the children!"
Xia Qiyue herself has to take a bath every day, and she is used to it, but she can't take a bath every day when she comes here, and she can't wash once a month when she escapes the famine, so she is uncomfortable.
"Okay, then I'll go boil water!" Xia Jiu had something to do, so he hurriedly went out to pick up firewood, and Xia Qi calmed down to make nougat.
In Xia Xinghe's house, Liangzi secretly hid a few more of the sugar he had received in his pocket, and when An Zihao saw it, he wanted to remind this cousin a few words, but he just opened his mouth to speak, but An You pulled him away.
"Say no more!" An Youde whispered in An Zihao's ear, "Let him be, he won't take anything he shouldn't take!" ”
An Zihao can only give up, he is not worried that Liangzi will steal things, but he is afraid that he will take the sugar back, The uncle's family made a fuss again, and when the time came, his mother knew that she might be making trouble with the fourth sister-in-law again, and he couldn't go back, no one stopped him, and several sisters-in-law pouted......
But he was embarrassed to tell Youde about this, so he could only be anxious in his heart.
"This candy is so delicious, Xinghe, did the fourth sister-in-law ask you to share so much for us? Could this be more expensive than halva? I'm afraid I can't afford it! An Sijin tasted a nougat and was deeply fascinated by its taste.
"The eldest sister didn't say that these are all for us to eat, but you can eat them if they are not ready, I got them for you!" Xia Xinghe said with a simple smile.
"Really? Then I'll take a few for my sister to eat! "Dongzi Yile, I grabbed three or four.
An Sijin's eyes flashed, forget it, he still eats it himself, he is terrible about the trouble of several sisters-in-law.
Without this mouthful of sugar, nephews and nieces can't starve to death, and he is embarrassed to take one for each person, so he can eat two more for himself.
I'm happy to eat sugar here, Xia Qiyue has already started to make the second plate, if it is successful, the people who come to buy halva the day after tomorrow will take it back and taste it one by one, and advertise it.
Xia Jiu's job was originally to cook and take care of the children, so he couldn't stop being busy all day.
The two of them were busy until it was almost dark, and Xia Jiujiu also made dinner, but after eating at noon, everyone ate less at night, An Zihao even said that he was not hungry and refused to eat, or Xia Qiyue said that he would eat more and recover faster, so he picked up chopsticks to eat.
Sure enough, it was sent over when it was dark, twenty bundles of firewood at a time, the family needed more, even if you don't make a lot of sugar, you also need firewood, Xia September settled the firewood with the money that her sister left on her, and the five people who went home at night finished eating and left, and he closed the courtyard door and went back to the kitchen.
Xia Qiyue made five catties of nougat, Xia Jiuyue helped her sister pack it, and the two of them took out the unused satin, packed them one by one, and then went back to the house to bathe the three children.
After everything was done, Xia Qiyue lay down on the kang, one on both sides, and Ling'er and Ke'er hugged each other.
She suddenly felt that the three-year-old child was still young, and she shouldn't have left her mother's arms so early, so she got up and knocked on Xia Xinghe's door.
"What's wrong, big sister? What's wrong? Xia Xinghe opened the door a little bit in thick clothes, sleepy-eyed.
"Bring it out to my son, I'm going to take it back and sleep in my arms!" Xia Qiyue opened his mouth directly.
Xia Xinghe was taken aback, why did he have to take the child away? Isn't it good?
"Eldest sister, Xuan'er has already slept a long time ago, and when she comes back from washing, she will fall asleep, aren't you afraid of the cold when you take the child out?"
Moreover, a child of such a big family has already slept by himself, and Xuan'er still sleeps with him, which should not be.
Xia Xinghe is usually busy, but after dinner, he still goes out for a stroll, and he hears more things.
Xia Qiyue felt that he was impulsive, on this cold day, the children were asleep, and they couldn't take it out, just about to nod their heads and go back, they saw Xiao Xuan'er dragging her quilt to the door with difficulty.
Behind is the voice of An Zihao reminding him not to fall.
The little man dragged all the way to the door with a pillow and a quilt, and Xia Xinghe was startled, so he hurriedly ran forward to help get it.
"Xuan'er, why did you wake up? Aren't you already asleep? While helping, he asked Xiao Xiao, because he watched Xuan'er sleep.
"Xuan'er wants to sleep with her mother!" The little child stubbornly walked forward step by step, and his face was full of happiness that could not be concealed.
Xia Qiyue felt that she had come to the right place again, she had ignored the child's feelings before, thinking that girls should be more hypocritical than boys, but they didn't know that Xuan'er was just a three-year-old child, and it was not hypocritical to find her mother's parents, but she needed her mother's sense of security.
And they had just experienced the escape from the famine, and there were wolves and dangers along the way, so she shouldn't be in a hurry to let Xuan'er be independent at this time.
