Chapter 23: The Days Begin to Have Hope
On the way back to the old house, Li counted the fifty yuan he took from Erhu Niang, and asked Wen Yao curiously: "Yaoyao, is the county master still in charge of quarrels?" ”
Wen Yao took the big head and smiled: "What's the matter, the county master is not full of food and cares about this idle matter." ”
Casual nonsense, just casual fooling.
Luo Shi glared at her: "You are not small, you dare to fight with those reckless people of the Li family." ”
Wen Yao pouted: "Who let him bully the big head." ”
The big head raised his head to look at Wen Yao, and the hand holding her tighter.
Luo Shi looked down at her little grandson who was holding hands with Wen Yao and was not good, and the posture of desperately trying to fight with the Li family just now really surprised her.
"The Li family is not easy to mess with, today this beam is over, a few of you, protect your sisters and sisters when you go out in the future, don't suffer a loss, run away if the situation is not right, you know?" Roche told a few grandchildren.
A few people were not afraid, but they began to be a little afraid when they knew that Wen Yao was fooling the Li family, but in addition to that, they admired Wen Yao, and they dared to be so tough with the people of the Li family.
"Oops." Wen Di was walking but suddenly screamed, startling everyone.
"Yaoyao, cake." Wen Di hurriedly reminded Wen Yao that they had steamed cakes in the kitchen.
"Ouch, I'll go, my cake." Wen Yao then remembered her steamed cake, and stuffed the big head into Luo's hand: "Big head, go to the nurse's house and wait for me." After speaking, he pulled Wen Di and ran away.
The Wen family was confused.
Wen Ying opened her mouth to explain: "Today, my eldest sister and I went to play with the second sister, and when I saw that she was opening the vegetable field, the eldest sister helped the second sister open the land, and the second sister said to make food for us, and I couldn't wait to go out to play with the big head, and before the delicious food was eaten, I went out to fight again." ”
Roche's focus is on the front: "Open the vegetable field? Wen Yao? ”
"Aang." Moon Young nodded.
Luo smiled: "As long as she still farms, like her mother, people who can't even swing a hoe still farm, ha." ”
Wen Ying nodded thoughtfully: "Milk, what you said is right. ”
……
Roche was speechless for a while, she just said it casually.
Not long after the group returned to the old house, Wen Yao and Wen Di came back with a basket, covered with a handkerchief, and it was still steaming.
"Eh, it smells so good." As soon as Wen Yao approached with the basket, Old Man Wen smelled the sweet smell that he had not seen for a long time, and the big head couldn't wait to run over to lift the cover.
Wen Yao patted his hand lightly, and said to Luo with a deliberate smile: "Don't worry, let grandma give us a share." ”
Luo's eyes were about to turn to the sky, but seeing that everyone in this nest was looking at her, he could only beckon in disgust: "Take it in, what are you still doing." ”
"Come on." Wen Yao ran fast with the basket, followed by a string.
When the cover was lifted, the steamed cakes in the basket were still steaming, and thanks to the fact that they had turned off the fire before they left, otherwise it would not have been kept warm, but charred, and maybe even a pot would have been burned.
The aroma of steamed cake comes to the nose, a bit like a steamed bun that has changed color, but it is more fluffy than the steamed bun, and there is a sweet fragrance that comes out.
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Luo Shi began to divide the cake, fortunately, there were a lot of steamed, even if there were many people in the Wen family, each person got a piece as big as a palm.
One bite down, soft and fluffy, sweet and greasy mixed with egg fragrance, not to mention, it's really delicious.
Wen Yao also tasted it herself, she was very satisfied, it would be better if there was milk, the milky steamed cake was sprinkled with raisins and dried cranberries, steamed and eaten hot, the taste was absolutely first-class.
She could have bought milk in the space, but it wasn't available here, so in order to avoid trouble, forget it.
"It tastes good, it's much better than the one I brought yesterday." Roche expressed the most pertinent affirmation.
Wen Yao got an inch, and leaned closer to the old lady's side, as if she had found a bosom friend: "Yes, milk, you also think that dim sum is not delicious, and it is expensive to sell." ”
Luo couldn't eat much sweetness, and after eating half of it, he took the rest and fed it to the big head, while saying, "You still buy it." ”
Wen Yao continued to smile: "That's not what I said, honoring grandpa and grandma is worth it no matter how expensive it is." ”
Although the old lady didn't say anything, the expression on her face was enough to explain everything.
The trick of sycophancy is applicable in any era.
After eating the cake, Wen Yao went back to his house with the big head, and Wen Yao didn't ask for any of the fifty wen from the Li family.
First, she just wanted to take this opportunity to let people know that their family was not easy to bully, and secondly, whether it was the Li family, the second uncle and aunt, or the elder brother or brother, they were indeed more or less injured because they were angry with their sisters and brothers, and it was most appropriate to leave this money for them.
Because there were a lot of things to prepare for the stall that day, Wen Xiuyi didn't come back until the evening when all the things were sold out, and he also bought the things he would use the next day.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they always felt that the eyes of the people in the village were not quite right with their father and son.
When they hurried home and saw that Wen Yao and Datou were staying at home, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
During the meal, Wen Xiuyi talked about the strangeness of the people in the village, Wen Yao and Datou glanced at each other very tacitly, and Wen Yao said casually: "It's nothing, it's just that I went to fight with Datou today." ”
Wen Xiuyi was about to stuff a mouthful of food, and when he heard this, the dishes fell into the bowl.
"What? You guys went to fight? What's the injury? You didn't suffer, did you? With whom? ”
Wen Yao: "The other party apologized, and I paid another fifty yuan, and I gave it to my grandmother, but I was the head of our family, and I was wronged." ”
After Wen Yao finished speaking, she told the two of them what happened today.
Wen Xiuyi frowned, hugged his little son distressedly, and said after a while: "Yaoyao, you did the right thing, let's not cause trouble and are not afraid, your mother's business, it will be over in the past, and in the future, my father will take care of you and straighten your waist, and no one can bully us." ”
was worried about the impact of this incident on the psychology of his youngest son, so he patiently coaxed: "Son, don't be afraid, you still have a father." ”
The big head stared at him for a while, nodded, and snuggled into Wen Xiuyi's arms.
Wen Xiuyi also breathed a sigh of relief, talked about today's stall, asked Wen Jun to hand over today's money jar to Wen Yao, reported the account, deducted the cost of buying things, and made a net profit of nearly 800 yuan today.
This income is still very considerable, at least now they have more than a tael of silver in their deposits.
And because the portion is large and the fried rice tastes good, their family's business is getting better and better, and now it is spreading on the dock.
The three of them discussed it and decided to increase the amount of rice a little more, even if it couldn't be sold at noon, it would be sold out in the afternoon.
