"Don't push yourself too far!"
With a dark face, Su Xiaoxiao pulled the quilt for San Xiaozhi.
The Kiss Plan has failed.
The three little ones closed their eyes regretfully, and obediently stopped talking.
The children were having fun and fell asleep quickly, and after a while, there were even small snoring sounds from several people on the bed.
Su Xiaoxiao rested her chin and looked at the three little ones who were sleeping soundly. She didn't know what it was like to have a mother to accompany her, so she became someone else's temporary mother for no reason.
Some people want to hold an umbrella for others after being exposed to the rain.
But there are also people who inherit the gene of being cool from their parents.
...
It was late at night, and the father and son came back with their tired bodies and disheveled faces.
After arriving home, Father Su plunged into his own room without even eating dinner.
Su Xiaoxiao filled a bowl of broth with rice and handed it to Su Ergou: "Where did you go today? What's wrong with dad?"
The first thing Su Cheng did when he came home was his daughter's call, which was obviously abnormal tonight.
Su Ergou took a sip of the soup and rice, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Cheng is gone, five days ago, father just got the news today, and everyone who rushed over was buried."
"Who is Uncle Cheng?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Su Ergou sighed: "One of my brothers used to walk with my father a few times. He didn't have good legs and feet, and then he didn't work. He has been working as a short-term laborer in the town for these years. Life is very difficult. Dad In the good old days, many people came to curry favor with my father. When my father quit, only Uncle Cheng was still willing to be with him. Don’t you remember? Once when you were young, you were seriously ill and had no money to go to the hospital. It was Uncle Cheng Sell the old cow at home, and you will have money for medical treatment."
That happened when Su Daya was seven years old, and Su Ergou was five years old. She was too sick and had a fever, so only Su Ergou remembered the despair of the family and the new life brought about by Uncle Cheng's help.
They also walked the darts together, Zhang Dao was a white-eyed wolf, but Uncle Cheng was a man who valued love and righteousness.
No wonder Papa Su is so sad.
Su Ergou was actually very sad: "In the past few years, the Cheng family has borrowed a lot of foreign debts to treat Uncle Cheng. Once Uncle Cheng left, leaving behind orphans, widows, mothers and an elderly mother, let alone repaying the debts, life will go on." I can't go down."
--
There was no lamp in the room, Su Cheng sat on the chair blankly.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door: "Father, it's me. Are you asleep? I'm coming in."
Saying that, without giving Father Su a chance to refuse, Su Xiaoxiao came to Su Cheng with a bowl of soup and rice.
She didn't light up the lamp, and the main room had dim yellow candlelight coming in, not too bright, which could hide Su Cheng's slump.
Su Cheng didn't want to be too embarrassing in front of his daughter, so he said in his usual tone, "Father is not hungry."
Su Xiaoxiao handed him a note: "Take it."
Su Cheng asked: "What?"
"IOU." Su Xiaoxiao wrote.
Su Cheng didn't understand.
Su Xiaoxiao took his hand and put the IOU in his palm: "He Tongsheng still owes fifteen taels. When he pays back the silver, take it to the Cheng family."
Su Cheng raised his head suddenly, looking at his fat daughter in astonishment.
Su Xiaoxiao let go of his hand, and sat down on the stool beside him: "If it's not enough, I still have four taels here."
"Enough, enough..." Su Cheng's throat was choked.
"The three members of our family can do things, and there will always be money to earn." Su Xiaoxiao is not good at comforting others, and I don't know if saying this can make Father Su feel better.
"I won't buy those rouge gouaches in the future, and I won't eat Jinji's dim sum. The cost is not big. I remember that our family has land. When Wei Ting recovers, let him farm the land, and our family will have food. Yes, and save a fortune."
"Look, it's quite enough, right?"
she said carefully.
Su Cheng's throat was so painful that he couldn't speak.
For the death of my good brother, but also for my daughter's understanding.
Su Xiaoxiao strikes while the iron is hot: "Father, let's do business in the future, so we won't steal money from the folks, okay?"
--
The next day, Su Xiaoxiao used all her willpower to pull herself out of the warm blanket.
It was easy for her to say last night, but how could she be so optimistic in fact?
The loss of fifteen taels all of a sudden made this impoverished family worse.
It is true that there are three people in the family doing things, but there are seven mouths waiting to eat, and all of them are worthless...except for the seriously injured Wei Ting.
This guy might be a foodie even after healed up, after all, how can the three little spicy ones be eaten, and their own father's appetite should not be bad.
"Fortunately, I bought the ingredients yesterday, and I planned to do business today, so there is no need to panic."
Su Xiaoxiao opened the cupboard and took out a large bowl filled with dough.
In ancient times, there was no yeast, and it was fermented with old noodles or koji. She used old noodles.
The fermentation time of old noodles varies with the activity and temperature. Generally speaking, the better the activity of old noodles and the higher the ambient temperature, the easier it is to ferment.
It usually takes two hours in summer and four hours in winter.
She usually kneads the dough before going to bed, and when she wakes up the next morning, it is almost fermented.
Waiting for the dough to wake up, Su Xiaoxiao boiled red beans and mung beans into two pots respectively, soaked dried plums and vegetables, and took out the marinated pork belly.
She wants to make puff pastry, so she needs another layer of puff pastry.
The method of pastry is not difficult. Add lard and white flour to the fresh egg yolk liquid, and the pastry will be rolled out after waking up.
A layer of pastry is wrapped with a layer of puff pastry, so that the puff pastry tastes more oily and soft.
She made a total of three fillings: red beans, mung beans, and dried plums.
In the end, the fillings were used up and there was still a little dough left. On a whim, she made some fat sausage shortbread and brown sugar shortbread.
"Sister... what delicious food did you cook again?"
Su Ergou was awakened by urination, went to the latrine, and was lured by the smell to the kitchen.
He hasn't woken up yet, but it doesn't affect his eating. He took a cake in his hand, opened his mouth and bit down——
Su Xiaoxiao: "Hot!"
"Aww——" Su Ergou's mouth was scalded with a blister.
This time I woke up from a doze, and my tongue was swollen.
But it didn't stop him from eating the cake made by his sister.
"Sister, the cakes you make are better than Jin Kee's sweet-scented osmanthus cakes!"
What he ate was brown sugar flavored, the sugar was completely melted, it was sweet, mixed with a little bit of lard, it was so delicious.
Su Xiaoxiao asked him to try one of each flavor.
"Are you full?"
"Well, almost."
"Then pack it up and get ready to work."
Su Ergou was stunned: "What work?"
...
A quarter of an hour later, the siblings went to town with baskets on their backs.
"Sister, where do we sell it? A market?" Su Ergou asked.
Most people may be a little bit reluctant to let go when they go out to do business for the first time.
Su Ergou is so talented, his skin is thick enough to be the sole of a shoe, can't he let go? nonexistent!
"Don't go to the market." Su Xiaoxiao wrote.
Su Ergou asked curiously, "Where are you going?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Don't push yourself too far!"
With a dark face, Su Xiaoxiao pulled the quilt for San Xiaozhi.
