Chapter 99 Corn Noodle Soup
ps: Thank you Luluo Yisheng for the little golden pig. Thank you Guo Linlin for the peace charm.
Unlike these days, although the family often works outside and the house is quiet most of the time, this quietness is filled with warmth and makes people feel peaceful and comfortable.
Although this kind of day is much more tiring than before, it makes people feel very relieved. When they come back from outside every day, there is always someone who smiles and says to them that they have worked hard, and no matter what day, there is always a steaming meal at home.
Hold them.
More importantly, now the family no longer has to worry about whether they have a good meal or not. After today, there will be no tomorrow. What they think about most now is always what they should do tomorrow, what to do with the family fields, etc.
This feeling is unprecedentedly fulfilling.
So in Xia Fugui's heart, although this kind of life is bitter, tiring, and not very wealthy, it is a down-to-earth life for the family, which makes him feel sweet in his heart. And all these changes are due to his little daughter.
No wonder her daughter-in-law worked so hard to have a daughter when she was here. It seems that her daughter is really a treasure, at least in Xia Fugui's heart now.
"Brother, are you at home?"
Xia Fugui was thinking about something when he heard voices outside. He hurriedly sent Xia Yinzhu to open the door and followed him into the courtyard.
When the two of them went to the courtyard, they saw that it was Xia Shungui who was holding a torch. Xia Fugui asked Xia Yinzhu to take the torch. He called Xia Shungui to go to the courtyard. While asking him to sit down, he asked, "Third brother, why are you so late?"
Why don't you come here if you have something to say tomorrow?"
When Tiezhu and the others saw that it was Xia Shungui, they immediately stood up and went over to say hello. Xia Feier guessed that the third uncle came to her home to talk about acknowledging his marriage to Aunt Zhang. She probably couldn't make up her mind at the moment and came over to talk to her father.
After discussing it, they were afraid that they would have to chat for a while, so the brothers and sisters did not go out and continued to stay in the pot house.
As soon as Xia Feier saw the tofu in the pot, she suddenly remembered that she had just finished eating at home, and Yuan Xiang hadn't left for long either. Her third uncle must have just come over after hearing Yuan Xiang's words. I'm afraid this is the case.
I haven't eaten yet, so I just want to get something for my third uncle to eat.
People don't eat dinner at this time. In the past, when the third uncle's family was in good condition, there might not necessarily be anything to eat in the evening. Now that I have a lot of debts, I must save more. I'm afraid that ** will be with my family 10 times a day.
As before, I can only eat one meal. I must be hungry after being so busy at this time in the morning.
Xia Feier searched in the pot house for a while, got some cornmeal, and planned to make a bowl of cornmeal gnocchi soup for her third uncle. Xia Feier had never tasted this in her previous life, so she thought it tasted pretty good at first taste. And this one was better.
It doesn’t take much trouble, just do this.
After it was done, when Xia Feier took it out and handed it to Xia Shungui, she made an excuse: "Third uncle, Baozhu just complained and was hungry. I saw that there was nothing else at home, so I cooked this pimple for him.
Soup, this is my first time cooking this. You want to try it too and see how my skills go?"
After Xia Shungui heard this, he stood up and pushed the lump soup with some embarrassment, saying: "No, just give it to Baozhu. I came here after eating it."
Xia Feier couldn't help but put the bowl into Xia Shungui's hand, and said with a deliberately unhappy face: "You can eat again after you eat it. Does your third uncle think my craftsmanship is not good? Let me tell you, my father and several brothers
People say that my cooking skills have improved a lot recently, but I don’t believe it. I think they are just trying to trick me. Third uncle, please give me a try. If you think it’s good, then they must not be trying to trick me. My cooking skills are really much better.
."
"Yes, third child, try it. Our girl's cooking skills have improved a lot recently. She is almost as good as her dead mother. After a few more years of practice, she will be able to help others prepare banquets.
." Xia Fugui also said with a smile.
Xia Feier's mouth twitched as she listened, thinking, Dad, I'm just looking for an excuse so that Uncle San won't feel embarrassed when he eats this food. What you said is true, why don't you help others make it?
Banquets, I don’t like helping people prepare banquets.
Hearing Xia Fugui and Xia Feier say this, Xia Shungui couldn't refuse anymore, but he still looked a little embarrassed holding the bowl. He was embarrassed to eat those things alone. He took the bowl of pimple soup and put it on the table.
On the small table in front of me.
Just at this moment, Baozhu also ran out with a small bowl. He sat next to Xia Shungui, holding a small wooden spoon in one hand and stuffing it into his mouth. At the same time, he urged Xia Shungui: "Third uncle, you eat, my sister."
The food you cook must be delicious, otherwise when the pimple soup gets cold, you won’t be able to eat it well, and you’ll think it’s because the food cooked by my eldest sister is not delicious.”
When Xia Shungui heard this, he laughed, touched Baozhu's head and said, "This boy knows how to protect your eldest sister like this. Okay, then third uncle, let's try and see if what your eldest sister makes is as good as you said."
So delicious.”
Xia Shungui was really hungry. As soon as his mouth touched the bowl of corn pimple soup, he couldn't help but keep touching the bowl and pouring it into his stomach. You think about a tall and thick man who works outside all day long and can only eat two steamed buns at noon.
, my stomach must not be full no matter what.
Yes, especially since it had been a long time since noon. Xia Shungui finished the bowl of gnocchi in a matter of seconds and drank the soup completely. When he was finished, he kept boasting that the gnocchi was good.
Eat it, let Fei'er teach their mother-in-law how to make it next time.
After eating, Xia Shungui started talking about business. He looked at Xia Fugui and said: "Brother, I have something to discuss with you today. Can you help me find out and see if we can handle this matter?"
"What's the matter?" Xia Fugui asked.
Xia Shungui paused for a moment and then said: "That's Aunt Zhang who sells tofu. Today she asked Yuanxiang to come to me and tell me that she wanted to have a godfather with our family. She recognized our Shiro and said that if we agreed, they would come to our door.
Come on, do you think we can agree to this?"
Xia Fugui heard this without any hesitation. He immediately showed a smile on his face and said with a smile: "This is a good thing. Zhang Mazi and his wife are good people and their family is wealthy. If your family Shiro recognizes them, he will have many fathers in the future."
Mom loves him, why don't you agree?"
Xia Shungui nodded, calmed down for a moment, and then continued: "Yes, the child and I think so too, but we are still a little worried. Although the child only recognized a godmother, after all, after recognizing someone, he will
They must take care of the two elders. When the children grow up, they will have to take care of them.
Things, I'm worried that our Shiro will not be able to shoulder such an important responsibility in the future. Also, didn't people say that they wanted to recognize your family's treasure pillar last year, but they didn't recognize it later? You see how troublesome this thing is, and I'm afraid that when the time comes
Jin Zhu’s daughter-in-law will make trouble again when she comes back, you know that Jin Zhu’s daughter-in-law..."
While Xia Shungui and the others were talking, Xia Feier's tofu kang was ready, and she also moved a stool to sit on the side of the yard and listened. When Xia Shungui said this, Xia Feier roughly understood why her third uncle came here specifically for this matter.
I discussed this with my father.
He was afraid that his father would be unhappy when Aunt Zhang failed to recognize Baozhu when she said she wanted to recognize him. He was afraid that his father would be unhappy, so he came to test his father's tone. It seemed that this third uncle and his father
Not only do they look alike, but their temperaments are also somewhat similar. There is a careful side beneath the rough and arrogant appearance.
Xia Fugui also seemed to see Xia Shungui's intention. Before Xia Shungui finished speaking, he raised his hand to stop him and said, "Third brother, why are you so worried? We said at the time that we were talking to Zhang Mazi's family
It was just a talk. I didn’t know it at the time. Even if I knew, I might not agree. I
Our Baozhu is my sweetheart, and I can’t bear to let anyone separate him. Don’t worry about Jin Zhu’s daughter-in-law. She is just playing tricks at home, and she still doesn’t dare to mess around outside. If she
If she dares to cause trouble on the day you recognize your parents, I will never forgive her, so you can rest assured."
"Besides, what we two brothers are saying is private, and it's not about being greedy for others. You see, your family, Shiro, is still young. If you can accept Zhang Mazi as a godmother, you can definitely raise him safely. Needless to say,
Well, Zhang Mazi has no son, not even a nephew or anything. After recognizing Shiro, he will definitely
We will treat him wholeheartedly, and we don’t expect money from others, but when Shiro is older, with Zhang Mazi’s family being so good, we can send him to study for a few years, which is worse than ordinary people. Well, do you see that several children in our village who are not as good as Zhang Mazi’s family are going to school this year?”
"Studying?" Xia Shungui swallowed his saliva and asked, obviously he didn't think so long term.
Xia Fugui nodded seriously towards Xia Shungui: "Yes, reading, knowing some words is better than us elders. Look, the head of the village can only become the head of the village because he has studied for several years."
Well, their family is much better than our average family."
Xia Shungui knows this. When the head of the current village was not the head of the village, his family was almost the same as the others. But within a few years of becoming the head of the village, his family built a large tile-roofed house and bought a field.
There's nothing extraordinary about it, so I just read more.
He has been studying for several years, but most of the people in the village have never studied. Sometimes when the government issues orders to the village, he can understand them clearly. Later, everyone elects him to be the head of the village. If Shiro himself
If this happens in the future, then his ancestors are really buried in the right place.
As he thought about it, he looked at Xia Fugui with bright eyes and asked: "Then according to what the eldest brother says, I will go back to Yuan Xiang and say that my family agrees."
"Well, this is a good thing." Xia Fugui smiled and nodded, but then added: "However, third child, I have to make it clear to you that Zhang Mazi and his wife are indeed good people. If you let your family
When Shiro recognizes someone, he must treat them as his parents. Not only does he have to do things like provide for him in old age, but also wait for them to die.
As people get older, pension money must also be provided. We, the Xia family, cannot do such treacherous things. You have to make an agreement with your third brother and sister about this, and you are not just trying to take advantage of others."
