Chapter 143: Tomatoes with Sugar
"Don't worry, that's going to happen!" Wang's mother knew what Grandma Lu was thinking, and immediately comforted her.
Grandma Lu didn't know that the good news was on the way, but she was just a step too late.
......
After dinner, the family walked around the yard, Lin Xia watered the flowers, Lu Yuxiu watered the vegetables, the little guy watered the lychee trees, and the watering tasks of various plants were shared.
After finishing the work, Lin Xia went into the kitchen and took out the sugar tomatoes, the candied tomatoes were sweet and sour, but the most amazing thing was the soup that was pickled.
Yanghongmei's tomatoes are well planted, and they are not pesticide or ripened with technology, with a strong tomato sourness, mixed with sugar, and most of the sourness is removed, and the soup is sweet with a little sour.
The little guy was attracted by the tomato, Lin Xia took the opportunity to take a sip of soup, and before he could say 'ha', he was seen by the little guy.
"Mom, I'm going to drink it too!" The little one's eyes lit up, and it was absolutely right to eat and follow his mother!
Lin Xia smiled and gave her a sip of soup, An An took a sip, her eyes lit up, "It's delicious!" ”
I wanted to take a sip but was stopped by Lin Xia, "Give Dad a taste." ”
Lu Yuxiu took a small sip, tasted it, and handed the bowl to the little guy, "Here." ”
"Mommy takes a sip, I'll take a sip, Dad takes another sip." The little guy distributed it very thoughtfully, and the little hand held the bowl and handed it to Lin Xia's mouth.
Lin Xia was not polite, she took a sip with her hand, and when the little guy saw her drinking, he bent his eyes and took a sip, and handed it to his father.
In the end, one person ate a bowl of sugar-mixed tomatoes with soup and tomatoes.
The little one finally muttered, "Does Mommy have any tomatoes tomorrow?" ”
"The tomatoes we grow at home haven't grown yet, but we can buy them at the vegetable market tomorrow." Lin Xia showed the little guy the tomato vine, and there were green tomatoes hanging on it, and there was no red at all.
The little guy was a little disappointed, and his mouth was chattering about the little green ball, and Lin Xia vaguely heard 'grow up quickly' and 'turn red' and the like.
Life has resumed Lu Yuxiu's daily routine of going out early and returning late every day, time passed slowly, Lin Xia studied how to make clothes and food every day, and set a goal in his heart to raise the meat that Lu Yuxiu had lost.
This morning, Lin Xia and Yang Hongmei bumped into each other and went grocery shopping together, the little guy played with a group of children, and said goodbye to Lin Xia without raising her head, she didn't need Lin Xia to accompany her.
Lin Xia felt a sense of loss in her heart, but this is how the child is older, not to mention that this is what she specially exercised.
But realizing the convenience of not taking the little guy, that trace of loss disappeared, Lin Xia turned his head and walked away with Yang Hongmei and the others.
Not long after leaving, I met a woman with a big belly, the other party pretended to touch her stomach with her hands, raised her chin and nostrils to the sky, and looked at Lin Xia with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Lin Xia looked down at her body, she was wearing an old looking dress, because she had to buy vegetables today, invite her comrades to dinner, and there were many things to buy today, and she was afraid that her clothes would get dirty.
At this time, what is important is simplicity, everyone is dressed in ashes, Lin Xia really can't imagine being looked down upon because of wearing old clothes.
But Lin Xia hadn't seen anything good after making money in his previous life, so he just ignored the other party and left.
After walking away for a while, Yang Hongmei spoke, "She, she used to live in your house, after the death of Captain Hu's ex-wife, his rural hometown found him another one to take care of the two children, but I didn't expect her to be pregnant." ”
When Lin Xia heard that there must be something here, he was immediately curious, "How old is Captain Hu's child?" ”
"The eldest son just went to the army after finishing high school, and the youngest daughter just started junior high school at the age of twelve. Work at home. Yang Hongmei's tone was uneven, and Lin Xia intuitively felt that there must be something wrong here.
Sure enough, there was no need to ask, Yang Hongmei continued, "That child is sensible, he can't go to school now, then Zhao Hehua was lazy before, but now that she is pregnant, she doesn't do anything, and she pushes her laundry and cooking to that child." ”
A boy can go to the army at the age of fifteen, but when a twelve-year-old girl is in junior high school, this turmoil is affected, and she can't go anywhere, if she is not too young, I am afraid that she will be asked to go to the countryside.
Lin Xia thought that the woman's belly was about the same size as hers, and she didn't look unwell, so why was she embarrassed to let a twelve-year-old child serve her.
"Where's the child's father?" Lin Xia was very ashamed of this kind of person in his heart.
"Hi... If you have a stepmother, is your stepfather still far away? Yang Hongmei regretted it as soon as she said it, and immediately explained: "I didn't mean you, you are different." ”
After getting along for a long time, she also knew that Lin Xia was not An An's real mother, although she didn't know what was going on with the child, but the two of them got along closer than mother and daughter, and Yang Hongmei always forgot that they were not close.
Yang Hongmei's face was full of regret, afraid that Lin Xia would think too much in her heart.
Lin Xia waved her hand, her family's situation is different, An An is adopted, even if she is not adopted, she can't do something like that.
Afraid that Yang Hongmei would not be upset, she changed the topic and said, "Then doesn't this kid have other family members to ask?" ”
There's always a grandparent, right? No matter how bad it is, my uncle and aunt have to ask, right?
"Yes, but it's not here, and I can't take care of it." Yang Hongmei also has a daughter, and when she thinks that if she leaves, her daughter will be tortured like this, and her heart is like being cut with a knife.
The two of them were not in a good mood when they said this, and they arrived at the vegetable market not long after.
Lin Xia specially went to the pork shop, there was not much pork on the stall, but there were pig's feet, Lin Xia immediately thought of soybean stewed pig's feet, remembered the taste of pig's feet that melted in the mouth after being stewed soft, and directly asked for two.
And Lin Xia also made a new discovery, pig's feet don't need to be voted for two cents a catty, this is the best, it's no worse than eating meat, right? She felt that she could buy it a few more times in the future.
went to buy other vegetables, and finally Lin Xia went to the counter where he bought work and bought soybeans.
Yang Hongmei was a little strange when she saw it, "This soybean eats old flatulence, why don't you have so much?" ”
Lin Xia: "I bought it to cook, I didn't eat it directly. ”
Yang Hongmei: "Make tofu? ”
Lin Xia wanted to eat tofu and could make it, but there was no stone grinding.
"For braising pig's feet."
Yang Hongmei: "Are pig's feet delicious?" "I used to buy it when I didn't have a ticket, but if the pig's feet were not done well, the meat and teeth would be torn off.
Lin Xia immediately described the taste of soybean stewed pig's feet to Yang Hongmei, she loves Amway food the most.
As soon as Yang Hongmei heard this, she knew that her family was going to smell the fragrance next door to eat again, and said with a smile, "Although I haven't eaten it, my kid will definitely be shouting for dinner today, you don't know how fragrant your family's food is." ”
Lin Xia was surprised, is there such a thing? This is a recognition of her cooking skills!
"Why don't you buy a pig's knuckle and go back, and I'll teach you how to do it?" If she usually gave a bowl, but today she is going to have a treat, and it is not good to send more or less.
As soon as Yang Hongmei heard that the opportunity to learn cooking had come, she immediately said yes, followed by buying soybeans, and then went to buy pig's feet again.
"Then I'm going to steal a division today!" Yang Hongmei already thought of the happy appearance of the children at home.
