Chapter 52 The bitter meat tactic is useless against Yaoyao
Upon hearing An Yunrui's name, An Shuyao looked slightly stunned and then shook his head: "I didn't see it."
An Hao immediately favored his fourth uncle: "Little aunt, my fourth uncle is worried about you and even ran to find you."
An Shuyao didn't want to mention An Yunrui. She touched An Hao's little head and changed the subject: "Want to eat sweet tofu pudding?"
An Hao was instantly diverted from his thoughts by An Shuyao. He nodded quickly with a greedy face. His aunt's food was the most delicious.
After An Shuyao had enough rest, he stood up and said to An Hao, "Wait, I'll make you a bowl of sweet tofu pudding."
An Hao was the first to taste the cooked tofu. The tofu with diluted Lingquan was already fragrant, so An Shuyao melted the crushed sugar into it.
The tofu pudding was still a little hot when it came out of the pot. She put it on the table and said, "Eat slowly and be careful not to burn it."
An Hao climbed on the stool and sat down, shaking his legs with a spoon and nodding his head: "Okay~"
An Shuyao entered the kitchen, cleaned up the stove and started steaming rice. They hadn't eaten lunch yet.
At noon, she prepared fried braised pig intestines, a vegetable soup, stir-fried chives mixed with eggs, and some cold braised pig ears. The lunch was already very rich.
It was already half an hour after the food was ready. An Shuyao put the food on the table and saw An Hao holding a big bowl in his hand. He blinked: "Little aunt, fourth uncle is hungry."
An Shuyao was silent for a moment, then said with a headache: "I need to serve him the food faster. If I regret it, he won't want to eat it!"
When An Hao heard this, he immediately pulled Liu Yuxue into the kitchen anxiously: "Aunt Yuxue, rice."
Liu Yuxue had no choice but to help An Hao serve the rice. She took a look at the rice steamed by An Shuyao and saw that the three of them couldn't eat so much with a small carrot head. Obviously, she even cooked An Yunrui's portion.
.
She sighed in her heart, not knowing how they were going to resolve this matter. Guan An Shuyao must have not let go of her grudge.
Thinking of An Yunrui's big body, she filled him with more meat, eggs, and vegetables, and then led An Hao out.
After An Yunrui saw that An Shuyao was fine, he quietly came back alone. Anyway, with Lu Jin here, An Shuyao would not be wronged.
He was concentrating on the carpentry work in his hands, and there were wood chips all around him. It wasn't until a shadow fell that An Yunrui hid the wood behind him in a panic. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Liu Yuxue and An Hao.
He put the wood on one side, with a smile on his tough face: "Miss Yuxue."
Liu Yuxue pretended not to notice his deceptive behavior just now. She handed the bowl over: "Now, let's eat."
The rice was white rice with brightly colored meat spread on it. He stretched out a pair of big hands, which were scratched by wood, and some of them were lightly bleeding.
She also had a bamboo tube with fresh well water in her hand, which she placed beside him.
"Hao'er, let's go back."
An Hao looked at An Yunrui reluctantly. He couldn't help but blush again. Why couldn't his aunt and his fourth uncle live together like they did in the previous house.
Everyone was happy, including his father, mother, grandparents, and five other uncles. Why didn't they come?
Although he is young, he still knows how to read other people's faces and emotions, and his perception is even more sensitive than anyone else's. The look of disappointment on his little face is not concealed.
An Yunrui put down the bowl and looked a little more serious: "Hao'er, you are a little man, you can't cry all the time."
An Hao couldn't help wiping his tears with his little hands, and his voice was milky and slurred: "But Suwo misses my parents and several other uncles."
"Your father will come."
An Hao blinked his tears: "Is it true?"
An Yunrui nodded: "When has my fourth uncle ever lied to you? So don't cry. If your father sees it, he might beat you again, and there will be no one to stop him from beating you."
An Hao quickly wiped away his tears: "Don't cry anymore, Fourth Uncle can't complain."
An Yunrui looked at Liu Yuxue: "Miss Yuxue, take him back."
Liu Yuxue looked at him and hesitated to speak, but finally said: "The bitter flesh trick is useless against Yaoyao."
After saying that, she left.
An Yunrui lowered his head and looked at his palms. Is this a cruel trick?
This is not a ploy, he just wants to do his best to do things for her, and at least make himself feel better.
He picked up the bowl, ate the rice in big mouthfuls, and then raised his head to drink water to cover up the wetness in his eyes.
After lunch, Liu Yuxue helped An Shuyao watch the fire and make tofu together.
Lu Jin went up the mountain with a basket on his back and a hatchet in his hand. An Hao was touching the rabbit beside the haystack in the yard. The rabbit had been thrown into the haystack outside the thatched house since Lu Jin caught it.
The two rabbits didn't run out, so An Hao went to the back and picked up a few vegetable leaves to feed them.
An Shuyao was busy in the house. One pound of soybeans can make almost four pounds of tofu, and forty pounds can make more than one hundred and sixty pounds. The fire in her stove never stopped.
An Shuyao didn't stop what she was doing until there was a knock on the courtyard door. She wiped the sweat from her forehead. When she came out, she found that An Hao had climbed into bed and fell asleep.
The little quilt covers it very well, and there is no need for adults to worry about it at all.
An Shuyao only took one look and went to open the courtyard door. Standing outside was Aunt Lin.
"Aunt Lin, why are you here?"
An Shuyao was a little surprised. Aunt Lin should be taking care of Lin Huzi in the house at this time. After all, he had just been rescued and must be weak.
Aunt Lin looked kindly at An Shuyao. He was her son's savior, and he indirectly saved her life. If the tiger was gone, she might as well die.
So she already treats An Shuyao as half a relative. As long as they need their help in this village, they will try their best to do it.
Aunt Lin was carrying a big basket with several large fresh river fish in it: "I came here specially to deliver fish to you. No one in your family went to catch it, so I left this for you."
An Shuyao blinked and said hurriedly: "Aunt Lin, this is too much, I can't do it."
Aunt Lin directly took off her hand and went into the house: "Why can't you do it? This fish is not valuable. People in the village don't like to eat it. Most of them give it to restaurants, but the taste you make will definitely be different. I will give it to you."
Here are a few for you to try."
"The fish in Xiaoluo River are plump and fresh. People in the county like the fish here."
"By the way, I also brought you ten pounds of sweet potatoes and wheat. It's going to be winter, so I'll prepare all the food carefully."
An Shuyao couldn't laugh or cry: "Aunt Lin, you can keep these grains to replenish Hu Zi's health. I still have them at home."
"Farmers have scarce food in winter. If you give me so much here, what will you eat?"
