Xiao Zheng was so proud that he wanted to go to his aunt's house to show off.

Lilac said, "You learn to tie your trouser belt for yourself, not for them, why show off." ”

Xiao Zhengtai felt that his sister was right, so he smirked, "No wonder grandpa likes my sister, my sister is smarter than me." ”

While teaching Ding Li to live the trivial things, Lilac will also teach him simple arithmetic. But Xiao Zhengtai's thinking is chaotic, not quite like ordinary people.

For example, in the trouser department of the school department, he actually remembered that he tied three or thirty times a day and added five times so much.

It stands to reason that counting from one to ninety-five is much easier than doing two-digit addition, but now he can't count thirty-five, but he knows what thirty plus thirty plus thirty plus five is.

Even so, Lilac also praises Ding Li every day for being smart, not stupider than the second brother at all.

As soon as his sister praised him, Xiao Zhengtai was so happy that he couldn't find his eyes, and he would jump a few times.

Zhang's was also busier, and Lilac took the initiative to share a lot of work. Bringing and teaching Ding Lilai to the children, almost all of them are undertaken by Lilac. She will also help feed the chickens, pick vegetables, watch the medicine boiled, and wash her grandfather's face and feet......

She also wanted to light the fire and help her grandfather's injured hand change the cloth belt, but several adults disagreed.

The fire is afraid that she will not pay attention to being burned by the fire, and the cloth belt is afraid that she will be scared.

Lilacs are fun to make.

What she didn't know was that whenever Ding Zhuang saw that busy little figure from the window, his eyes were full of pity and self-blame.

Xiangxiang is only three years old, so she has to do so many things. When I see An An in the future, how will I explain to her?

In mid-September, Ding Zhuang's hands were much better, but his body was still very weak and thin. Be able to walk around and do light work within your ability, such as carrying water and watering the vegetable patch with one hand. If you don't let him do it, he can't be idle.

Seeing her grandfather walk out of the door, Lilac would hug her grandfather's thigh and enjoy it for a long time. As soon as Lilac hugged her thigh, Ding Lilai would also hug her other leg.

Grandpa's smile is only for his sister, and Ding Lilai's children are used to it.

The second brother said that a man can't be jealous of his sister. If you're jealous, it's a sign of not caring for your sister.

On this day, Ding Zhao bought a small bag of osmanthus cake from the town and took it home to honor Ding Zhuang.

Ding Xiang was talking to the two little brothers in the courtyard, and Ding Zhuang stuck his head out of the window and shouted, "Xiangxiang, come here." ”

As long as grandpa has something to eat, he will call Lilac in alone and eat alone behind closed doors.

Ding Liren looked at Ding Lilai, who was staring at her, and Ding Liren, who deliberately didn't look at her, still went to his grandfather's room embarrassed.

Ding Zhuang opened the oiled paper bag with a smile, took out a piece of osmanthus crisp and handed it to the cloves, put a piece of his own on the table, and wrapped the oiled paper bag with one hand. said, "I'll eat it again tomorrow." ”

Lilac discussed, "Grandpa, I'll give my brother tomorrow's piece to eat." ”

Ding Zhuang shook his head and said, "You eat." Those two stinky boys can grow a whole body of meat when they eat pig food, and they are so good at eating. Alas, Xiangxiang has lost a lot of weight, and her small chin is pointed. ”

Lilac is helpless, even if she loses weight, she is the fattest girl in Beiquan Village.

She had to eat. Grandpa wants to spoil her, she can't help but listen to grandpa.

She secretly swore that she wanted to make money, hurry up and make money, and let her family eat osmanthus crisp if they want to.

Lilac picks out her head and thinks about a plan to make a fortune.

The opening of the embroidery shop will be postponed, and the family's money is tight.

She finally came up with a simple way to make money.

That is to make glutinous rice paper.

In this era, there was no glutinous rice paper, and if the candy was not sealed in a jar, it would not take long for it to melt, and it would be dirty and sticky.

If you use a pack of translucent glutinous rice paper, the sugar will not melt in a short time, and even if it does, you are not afraid of getting your hands dirty.

Not only does it look good on the plate, but it is also easy to store.

After making up his mind, every time Zhang boiled white rice porridge in a clay pot or corn porridge in a large pot, Lilac would deliberately pick up the porridge skin on the side of the pot and put it in his mouth.

He would also say, "This rice husk is like paper, and it is transparent." ”

The corn paste I drank this morning, this time the paste boiled for a long time, it was very sticky, and there was a small bowl left. Zhang's family went to the county seat to sell the silk, and only the grandfather who was still resting at home and Ding Lilai, who followed her.

Lilac finds a clean white cloth to filter out the impurities in the paste, and then washes it into a starch paste with hot water, and then brushes the starch paste evenly in a wooden tray, brushes it very thinly, and takes it outside to dry.

There is no dryer here, and there is no kang burning now, but fortunately, the sun is strong and windy, and after a while, the paste becomes white, translucent glutinous rice paper.

Lilac picks up the glutinous rice paper, which is tough and translucent. It's just not uniform, thick in some places and thin in some places.

Ding Li on the side asked, "Sister, what is this, can you eat it?" ”

The cloves pulled a little and fed it into his mouth.

Xiao Zhengtai chirped, "It's tasteless." Hey, I didn't chew it yet. ”

Lilac didn't explain much, and he didn't understand it.

She cut the paper into several pieces and went into the house to ask her grandfather for candy. These candies were given by Ding Shuniang when she came to see Ding Zhuang, and they were packed in a porcelain cup with a lid. Ding Zhuang doesn't like to eat sugar, so he will secretly give cloves one or two pieces every day.

"Grandpa, give me six pieces of caramel candy."

"What do you want to do? Eat one piece at a time and eat slowly. ”

Lilac explained, "I'm experimenting with this kind of rice skin wrapped in sugar, and the sugar won't melt. ”

Ding Zhuang smiled, "Silly girl, when the rice skin is melted, the sugar will also melt." ”

Lilac said, "Rice skin doesn't melt." I specifically looked at it, and the rice skin on the side of the pot would not melt for several days. Master, I want four pieces of candy. ”

As soon as the granddaughter was spoiled, she had no choice but to give her four pieces of candy.

"Don't waste it, there's only a few pieces left."

Now that the weather was cool and the sugar was not easy to melt, Clove put the plate with the sugar on the stove and put a piece of oiled paper on it.

Except for Ding Lilai, Xiao Zhengtai gnawed his fingers and drooled, the adults didn't care much, thinking that those few pieces of candy should be played with by children.

Lilac specially told Xiao Zhengtai, "Don't steal the candy on the plate." When my sister makes a lot of money, I will buy a lot of meat and chop meatballs, and give you a big bowl. ”

She didn't say that the elbow grilled chicken, it was too expensive and she was reluctant.

No matter how delicious the sugar is, it is not as attractive as a bowl of meatballs, and Ding Lilai tries his best to control the desire to eat those few pieces of sugar.

Two days later, Lilac asked for another two pieces of candy to go.

Two days later, after everyone had finished dinner, Zhang put the bowl into the kitchen, and Lilac walked in with a plate.

There were two pieces of caramel glued together on the plate, and four pieces of what looked like caramel wrapped in some kind of paper.

"It's cold now, so I'm putting this plate of sugar on the stove." Cooking and burning fire, equivalent to the temperature of summer. ”

She pointed to the unwrapped candy and said, "These two pieces of unwrapped candy have been sitting outside for four days, and they have stuck together." ”

Then he pointed to the two pieces of candy wrapped in paper and said, "These two pieces of candy wrapped in paper have also been left outside for four days, and the paper on the outside is dry, but the sugar inside has melted a little." The paper is made of jade batter, which is edible and melts in your mouth. ”
