Chapter Twenty-Seven: Raising Chickens

The Li family was worried that Gu Jingcheng would make a mistake and say ugly things to Su Xiaomu, although she felt sorry for her son, but the daughter-in-law she bought was delicate and soft, and she was reluctant to let her suffer.

"Oh, why do you two suddenly want to go up the mountain to pick fruit? Look, Xiaomu, your clothes are still scratched by the branches. ”

She took the initiative to step forward and take Su Xiaomu's hand, looked at her torn clothes and quipped: "Why don't you let Jingcheng protect you, fortunately, you just scratched your clothes, if you accidentally cut your hand and bleed, then you will have to suffer." ”

Su Xiaomu's skin is white and tender, and he is more beautiful than a little girl like Gu Ruotong.

"Xianggong has protected me, it's all my own carelessness, mother, don't blame Xianggong."

Su Xiaomu lowered his eyebrows shyly.

Gu Jingcheng knew that she had always behaved in front of the Li family, so he didn't say anything, and after talking to the Li family, he went back first.

This is to give their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law a chance to speak alone.

"Tell your mother well, Jing Cheng didn't have a good attitude towards you at the dinner table just now, why was he willing to help you get things so quickly?"

Can she still count the children she gave birth to?

Although Jingcheng has always been a cold-hearted child, he has always had no good face for people he doesn't like.

"Didn't say anything...... It's that I told Xianggong that I really want to be good to him and want to live a good life with him. ”

A thin red cloud appeared on Su Xiaomu's face, and then she showed a very gentle smile, two red dimples slightly sunk out of her cheeks, and she wringed her fingers shyly, and her feet couldn't stop rubbing on the ground.

"Actually...... Actually, it's pretty good. ”

"Of course Jingcheng is good, in fact, my mother doesn't ask for much now, so I hope you two can live a good life.

You are a good girl, now Jingcheng and you are still not familiar with it, after a long time, he will see your goodness, and he will definitely be willing to live a good life with you. ”

Li is still waiting to hold her grandson, and when their family Jingcheng is also a father, she will be able to live a more relaxed life.

"I hope so, too, to live a good life."

The smile on Su Xiaomu's face became brighter and brighter, and a pair of eyes looked at Li Shi, which seemed to be full of longing.

"There's nothing to do today, you take the money to buy some tofu, let's change the taste tonight, Jingcheng loves tofu the most."

Seeing this, Li was relieved.

Count out five copper plates from your purse and hand them to Su Xiaomu: "It depends on your craftsmanship tonight." ”

"Okay, mother, just wait, I'll let Xianggong eat his favorite meal."

Su Xiaomu specially picked up what Li liked to hear.

The tofu sellers in the village are not far from them, and five copper coins can buy two pieces, one for meat foam tofu rice, and the other for frying and eating.

Thinking about the smooth and tender tofu mixed with the meat foam mixed with rice, Su Xiaomu's saliva was about to flow down.

She went home with two pieces of tofu, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Gu Ruotong sitting under the tree with Chen to learn to embroider a handkerchief.

"The second sister-in-law is teaching Ruotong to embroider a handkerchief, let me also see, such a fine craft, I can't learn this hand."

Su Xiaomu came to Chen's side to take a closer look, and saw that there were many embroidered handkerchiefs in the basket next to her, and the stitches on each one were very neat, and the style was also good.

Not to mention, although the second sister-in-law is a little spicy, this handicraft is not bad!

"Xiaomu, the second sister-in-law has something I want to ask you for help."

Su Xiaomu was full of smiles, and her expression was a little soft and delicate: "Does the second sister-in-law want me to help you sell handkerchiefs?" ”

Su Xiaomu followed the movements of Chen's hand again, saying that she hadn't been to the cloth village in the city yet.

"It's also that your second brother has been unavailable for the past few days, and he can't enter the city, and I have to pull a few children at home, so I think if you are free, you can help me sell it, the Xu's cloth village in the city, you report your second brother's name, she knows how to sell this thing."

Even though the Chen family is usually a little difficult to get along with, at this time, he asked Su Xiaomu to help, and there was still a little embarrassment on his face.

"The second sister-in-law won't let you help in vain, if there is anything in need of help at home, just tell your sister-in-law."

"Then when you pack up your things, give them to me."

After discussing some details of selling handkerchiefs with Chen, Su Xiaomu took the purchased tofu to cook.

The fried tofu dish was one of the simplest dishes she had ever made.

Slice the tender tofu, heat the lard in the pan and fry the tofu until golden brown on both sides, and then add the wild onion to the fragrant.

She pours in the pre-prepared sauce, covers the pot and cooks over low heat for five minutes, then pours the starch water into the pot, and the fragrant tofu is thickened and then served out of the pot.

She made another dish of meat foam tofu, stewed a pot of wild vegetable broth, and when it was served to the table, the Gu family's eyes looked straight again.

"Auntie, you're too powerful, it's the first time I've seen someone make tofu like this."

The courtyard was filled with the aroma of fried tofu and meat, and Gu Ruochen had already begun to suck saliva greedily.

Seeing this, Li patted his head angrily, and then took care of the family to eat.

The first chopsticks were of course given to Gu Jingcheng.

However, after Li Shi took a bite of tofu, he immediately looked at Su Xiaomu with wide eyes: "This is really what you did?" ”

"I used to be taught by my mother at home, and I heard that I learned it from a restaurant master in the city."

Su Xiaomu spared no effort to put gold on the face of the original owner's mother.

Anyway, the two villages are far apart, and it is impossible for the Li family to run over and ask if there is such a thing.

"Your mother is a capable person, you are also competitive, and you can learn everything well."

After the family finished a meal quietly, Li called Su Xiaomu aside to talk and didn't let her wash the dishes.

"The third child is going to work in the fields with his fathers in the afternoon, you can boil some eggs for them and bring them."

Li quietly stuffed Su Xiaomu with the key to the kitchen cabinet, and she lowered her voice and said, "Bring one more for the third child." ”

"Okay, but mother, do we have tea at home?"

Speaking of white water eggs, Su Xiaomu really wants to eat tea eggs.

"Yes, yes, but it's all old tea from previous years, why do you want to drink it?"

Li's fox stared at Su Xiaomu suspiciously, the little girl's family usually didn't do any work, and the weather was not hot, so she still had to drink tea to relieve the heat?

Thinking that she was going to waste food, her face immediately fell: "You are not allowed to come nonsense." ”

"Where do I dare to come here? Food is so expensive now, I don't dare to waste it. ”

Su Xiaomu shook Li's arm coquettishly, her voice was delicate, her appearance was delicate and cute, and her well-behaved appearance made Li's temper soften.

"And what are you trying to do?"

"Mother, I'm thinking of making a novel way to eat.

Let's buy some more **, Xianggong is now studying so hard every day, and he has to help the family with farm chores when he goes home, I am worried that his body will be tired, and it is always useless to eat an egg occasionally, or I have to make up for it every day.

The eggs I boiled that way are delicious and not greasy. ”

Su Xiaomu's face was not red, and her heart was not beating and she took Gu Jingcheng out as a shield, she gently blinked her round eyes full of anticipation: "Okay, mother?" ”
