Chapter 187: Red Date Glutinous Rice Cake
Comfortably twisted her eyebrows, although Grandma Hua spoke upside down, she was not talking nonsense.
If she remembers correctly, Grandpa Hua's body was found in the early morning of the first of this month.
What's more coincidental is that the person who found it is the "comfortable mother" in the mouth of Grandma Hua - Zhong Cuihua, it is said that when she went to the bottom of the mountain to get mountain spring water, she happened to find Grandpa Hua who rolled down the cliff.
Shu Xin didn't think much about it before, but now that he thinks about it, it's all flaws.
She is familiar with the place where there is a bamboo sun near Grandpa Hua's house, and it is possible to accidentally roll down the road after rain, but it is absolutely impossible to roll to the place where the mountain spring is hit.
Nine times out of ten, Zhong Cuihua is lying!
Thinking of this, Shu Xin hurriedly called the daughter-in-law of the Hua family out.
She was very surprised, and immediately asked Shu Xin to accompany her to the police.
The person who received them was an old policeman, and he also heard the strangeness inside, and glanced at the two of them.
"Have you figured it out? Why don't you call your man? If we really go to the murder aspect, the coffin and autopsy will not be considered to be buried in the ground..."
The daughter-in-law of the Hua family looked serious,
"My man went on a business trip! It's okay! I'm in charge of this! Examine! If there is really anything strange about the old man's death, it will be so unclear, let alone put it into the ground! ”
Seeing that the daughter-in-law of the Hua family was so assertive, she comfortably told the Tian family about building a house again.
The Tian family has such a large amount of money for no reason, and she always feels that there is an inexplicable and unexplained connection between these things.
After a few days, Li Yanyan and his wife contacted the cargo ship back and forth, and personally sent Shu Xin back, these days Aunt Li bought a lot of food and nutritional products, and stuffed the comfortable refrigerator and kitchen cabinet to the brim.
The doctor said that Shu Xin's physical foundation was poor before, and she still needed to replenish more blood, so her godmother bought her a lot of red dates and told her to eat 20 red dates every day, but she really didn't like to eat red dates empty, looking at all kinds of cakes in the kitchen, she wanted to make some red dates and glutinous rice cakes.
The cut red dates are well proportioned with glutinous rice flour and sticky rice flour, put them in a long dish smeared with oil and steam for 25 minutes, open the lid and let them cool and cut into pieces, glutinous, because there is not much sugar added, the flavor of the red dates is particularly obvious.
When someone knocked on the door, Shu Xin was pinching up a piece to eat.
As soon as you open the door, the familiar and rich "smell" hits your face.
"Durian!"
Shu Xin shouted out with some surprise.
Meng Yi smiled,
"My mother-in-law brought it from Hong Kong City when she came yesterday, and I wanted to give it to you two days ago, but you didn't come back, how about the dim sum shop? Did it go well? ”
Shu Xin smiled,
"It's all good!"
These days, Professor Meng and his family are busy with scientific research projects, and they also have things to do at home, but they will always care about her.
Knowing that she loves Cantonese snacks such as custard buns, she will give them to her every time she makes them at home, and she often sends some snacks such as coconut jelly and ice powder, and the two are becoming more and more familiar.
Shu Xin took the durian in Professor Meng's hand.
This durian is small, with an obvious hexagonal mark at the bottom, and the taste is rich and sweet.
"Looks like your mother-in-law is also a good eater! This is the best in Musang King! ”
Meng Yi was surprised,
"I'm afraid you don't like to eat, I didn't expect you to know durian so well! Custard buns, coconut jelly, and this durian, you have such a similar taste to my mother-in-law, she must like you! How about you say hello to me? ”
Hearing Professor Meng talk about her mother-in-law before, she admired her, of course she would not miss the opportunity to meet such a woman at this time, and immediately agreed, but she couldn't be empty-handed, Meng Yi looked at her cramped appearance and smiled,
"The cake you just ate was made of glutinous rice, right? It just so happens that my mother-in-law also loves to eat this kind of glutinous stuff, so if you still have it, just decorate it for her! ”
Shu Xin was not pretentious, went back to the house and put all the red dates and glutinous rice cakes he had just made into a small bowl, and went out with Professor Meng.
When I arrived at Meng's house, the yard was full of boxes and bags.
"It's a bit messy at home, it's my mother-in-law who is tidying things up, don't mind!"
"It's fine!"
Shu Xin smiled and glanced inside, only to see a thin woman with gray hair loading something into a suitcase, and talking as she put it in her mouth.
"Clothes, shoes, and food, you got me five suitcases, how can it be enough? Lei Lei has suffered so much outside, no, she still has to buy it! Still want to buy! ”
Her voice was weak, crying as she spoke, and a tall middle-aged man beside her took her in his arms and doted,
"Okay, buy! Buy them all! Don't cry, I'm going to see Lei Lei in two days, and I can't see Lei Lei's appearance clearly after crying too much..."
This sentence worked very well, and the woman stopped crying immediately after hearing it, and obediently lay in the man's arms, but she kept muttering "Lei Lei" and "Lei Lei" in her mouth.
Meng Yi was a little embarrassed and said,
"Didn't I tell you before, the Li family lost a little daughter, it was lost near Anji City, called Li Wenlei, I have been looking for it for 20 years, and now I finally found it! My mother-in-law is here to take Lei Lei home this time! ”
Twenty years ago? Angie?
These words were like lightning bolts, instantly rolling down on Shu Xin's mind and exploding into brilliant fireworks.
How such a coincidence!
She is twenty years old this year, and she was also lost in Anji!
"Why, how did you find it? Are you sure? ”
Shu Xin's lips trembled slightly, and his tone was a little eager, Meng Yi said,
"We don't know the specifics of this, it was found by the second brother, he asked someone to do a paternity test in Hong Kong City two days ago, and the degree of consistency is 99.97%! Absolutely! ”
After hearing this, the little flame of hope in Shu Xin's heart was instantly extinguished, and the whole person's head was clouded.
"Shuxin, what's wrong? Why are you crying? ”
Hearing Professor Meng's words, she subconsciously stretched out her hand, only to find that her face was already full of cold tears.
She shook her head self-deprecatingly, suppressed her crying and said,
"It's nothing, I just think... It's kind of touching..."
After speaking, he couldn't help but glance at the two people hugging each other in the room.
She could only see the side face of her aunt from this angle.
It was so hot, but she still wore a thick black hat with brim on her head.
Thinking that she couldn't see the light because she cried too much, and her comfortable nose was uncontrollably sour, she hurriedly handed the bowl in her hand to Professor Meng,
"Auntie is in a bad mood now, I'd better come back to visit another day, you help me give her this red date glutinous rice cake, this one has a sweet mouth, and she won't cry..."
At this time, Wu Rurong in the room suddenly raised her head from her husband's arms and looked out of the courtyard, only to see a vague slender figure.
Meng Yi hurriedly brought the glutinous rice cake in, and Li Zhiqiang saw that it was made of glutinous rice, so he hurriedly took a piece and handed it to Wu Rurong.
She'd been sorting out the things she was going to bring for Lei Lei all day, and she barely ate much.
Wu Rurong still didn't want to eat it at first, but was forced to be fed a piece by her husband, and the faint fragrance of red dates penetrated the tip of her tongue, and she opened her taste buds unconsciously, listening to her eldest daughter-in-law and her saying things that Tian Shu was happy about, and said with a smile,
"She's a good boy too, you just said she loves Cantonese pastries? I'll make some custard buns tomorrow, and you can go get some for her! ”
Li Zhiqiang disagreed, "Don't cook if you have bad eyes, just let Xiaoyi do it!" ”
"I'm so much better, I can see it without crying! Just let me do it, I want to make it for Lei Lei to eat! ”
Seeing the firmness in his daughter-in-law's eyes, Li Zhiqiang opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't object again, but silently took a piece of red date glutinous rice cake to plug his mouth.
