Jin Yuhe was on the phone. When he turned around and saw Bai Zhi, he cut off the call and said, "Something happened in country F. I have to go there and I won't be back for about half a month. Do you want to stay here?"
Bai Zhi thought for a while and shook her head: "I will go back to country M."
Jin Yuhe raised his eyebrows.
Bai Zhi explained: "The time is too short. Lu Xixin has not yet realized the power of partiality. Let her stay with her partial parents for a while. Slowly, she will not be able to bear it."
——
The Lu Xixin steamed buns are almost done.
She proposed to her parents that she wanted to go to the town to do some early business.
Yao Dahong refused: "You don't need capital to do business? How can you have capital? All our money is used to support your sister Jiayi's education. Jiayi will take the postgraduate entrance examination next year, so the family's money must be saved for her."
Being rejected by her mother, Lu Xixin was not annoyed, but explained softly: "Mom, it doesn't cost a lot. Isn't my brother doing a spicy hotpot business in the town? I can live at my brother's place and borrow his kitchen.
, after making the buns, ride a tricycle to sell them nearby."
Speaking of this, she held Yao Dahong's hand.
Yao Dahong felt a little uncomfortable when his hand was suddenly held, and he subconsciously wanted to break away.
But the girl's palms were warm and slightly calloused, and her movements in holding her were gentle and delicate, as if she were some precious treasure.
Yao Dahong could even feel Lu Xixin's dependence and respect.
My heart suddenly softened.
Yao Dahong turned his head and did not break away.
Lu Xixin tilted her head and carefully looked at Yao Dahong's white hair. The corners of her eyes were slightly moist: "Mom, I did the calculations. The cost of Jiayi's graduate school is not high, but she still has to play the violin and learn painting.
, this is a big expense, it is too hard to rely on you and my father to farm the land. I can do some early business to supplement the family."
Yao Dahong still refused: "It's not your money, but what if you lose the money?"
"Mom." Lu Xixin's eyes were gentle, and she rubbed Yao Dahong's thick and swollen finger joints with her fingertips. She said in a sour tone, "I don't want you to farm anymore. When you came back from the fields yesterday, you couldn't straighten your waist.
With this hand, I can’t bend back..."
Yao Dahong was startled and subconsciously looked down at his hands.
Although she was hired by Jin Yuhe, she was an out-and-out farmer. Lu Guoqiang and Lu Jiayi were indeed her children, they just had Lu Xixin.
Every day, I still need to work in the fields.
Unexpectedly, something that even her own children didn't care about was discovered by a fake daughter.
His heart was touched, and Yao Dahong didn't know how to refuse for a moment.
It was Friend Lu who said, "I'll discuss it with your mother and tell you tomorrow."
After Lu Xixin left, Lu You immediately contacted Cao Shui next door to report this fact.
Cao Shui nodded: "Let her go, it doesn't matter."
Lu You bowed his body and agreed repeatedly: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Yao Dahong frowned: "What do you think these people do? Will they harm our daughter?"
Lu You glanced at her: "What, do you really think of her as your daughter?"
Yao Dahong sighed: "You don't know how sweet Xin Xin is and how filial she is to us. The water we bring down here is the sour plum soup she cooked early in the morning, so that we can have a hot meal.
I get up at two o'clock every night to make breakfast."
To be honest, none of her own daughters felt so sorry for her.
Because they have to go to the fields early, before the sun rises, they usually go to the fields around 3 or 3 o'clock in the morning. There is no time to make breakfast, so they just eat some dry food and take a bite.
Lu You took a puff of cigarette and said helplessly: "We can't control that much, we can only try our best to protect her."
"I know." Yao Dahong felt uncomfortable.
——
After getting the consent of Lu You and Yao Dahong, Lu Xixin took the seasoning recipe she had researched and got on the car heading to the town.
In the morning, the Malatang shop was empty, and Lu Guoqiang and his wife Nian Fengjiao were collecting vegetables together.
Nian Fengjiao was not happy: "What's going on with your father and mother? Why did you bring Lu Xinxin to our place?"
Lu Guoqiang said while chopping lotus roots, "Isn't it Lu Xinxin who wants to come here himself?"
Nian Fengjiao threw the spinach in her hand and said unhappily: "It's okay to have such a person in the village, but now he has brought it to the town. I wonder if he thinks we are human trafficking. Let me tell you, your parents are too
Really, how can you do such a thing, work together to deceive people, and lose your conscience!"
Lu Guoqiang frowned: "Please stop saying a few words. If there is no family for us, there will be other families, and they will give you money very happily. My little sister learns to paint, and there are many places to use the money."
Nian Fengjiao was curious: "I don't know what their group is going to do?"
"Stop guessing." Lu Guoqiang put the cut lotus roots in the box, "Second sister will be here soon."
"It's nonsense." Nian Fengjiao pursed her lips, "How funny are you selling steamed buns? In the first few days when that girl came to our house, I didn't think she could even make a fire. In just a few days, she started selling steamed buns.
, don’t lose everything.”
"You don't care." Lu Guoqiang frowned, "It's not us who pay for it anyway."
When Lu Xixin arrived, it was almost noon, and the customers at the Malatang shop had already arrived.
She put down her things and hurried up to help.
Nian Fengjiao looked up at her while collecting cash.
I thought to myself, this girl is quite good at getting things done, and she is a nice person.
——
After finishing her work at noon, Lu Xixin went to buy noodles and meat, and also walked around the whole town.
After buying all the things, I started to pack them when I came back.
Nian Fengjiao curled her lips and whispered to her husband secretly: "I bought all the equipment, but I don't know if I can sell it. It's summer vacation and schools are on holiday. Let me see who she sells it to."
Lu Xixin’s knife skills are pretty good. After she decided to make steamed buns, she specially practiced her speed and integrated the processes of adjusting the stuffing and making the steamed buns.
Now she can make steamed buns quickly, well and effortlessly.
I woke up at three o'clock in the middle of the night and had everything done at about 6 o'clock in the morning.
At this time, Nian Fengjiao and the others had just gotten up.
Seeing Lu Xixin moving things on the tricycle, she pretended to ask: "Do you want help?"
Lu Xixin shook her head: "Thank you, sister-in-law. I've done everything. There's a plate of steamed buns left in the kitchen. You and my brother can have them for breakfast."
"Then why are you embarrassed?" Nian Fengjiao said this, but she was not polite at all and went directly to the kitchen.
He reached out and picked up a white and tender bun and put it in his mouth.
She took a bite and swallowed it. It was so delicious that she almost swallowed it with her tongue.
Oh my god, what kind of fairy buns are these? They are so delicious.
The skin is moderately thin and thick, soft and crisp, and has just the right taste.
The filling is excellent, with the juice soaking into about one-third of the skin. There isn't much meat, but it's extremely tender, maximizing the taste.
Nian Fengjiao ate five fist-sized buns in one go, which made her burp.
If she hadn't had a small stomach, she could have eaten the remaining three buns.
When Lu Guoqiang woke up, he saw his wife sitting on a stool, looking at the buns in a daze.
"What are you looking at?" he asked.
Nian Fengjiao slowly raised her head: "Tell me, was our second sister the king of steamed buns before?"
