Chapter 241: Warm and warm (second update)
Jiang Zhiluo could feel Niu's enthusiasm. She smiled and said: "Aunt Niu, this is a good thing, how can I dislike it."
“After eating apricots, don’t throw them away. These almonds are not bitter and can be eaten.”
Jiang Zhiluo said politely: "Then I have to thank you, Aunt Niu."
Jiang Zhiluo knew that when people in the village enthusiastically came to give things to them, they were sincere. If they had to refuse, they would also break their hearts.
It's better to accept it and give something else as a gift.
Mr. Niu looked at Jiang Zhiluo with a strange expression.
Ever since Jiang Zhiluo cured the arm of Niu's man Liu Cang, Niu was grateful to Zhiluo from the bottom of his heart.
"You're welcome, auntie. If you need anything, just call auntie."
Jiang Zhiluo also nodded enthusiastically and said, "You're welcome, Aunt Niu, come in."
“I won’t go in, Shanmao is still waiting at home.”
Niu Shi saw that it was almost noon, so naturally he didn't want to cause trouble to others.
She came to give apricots to her sincerely.
Mr. Niu was about to leave, so Jiang Zhiluofei pulled her in and waited for a while.
“Auntie, if you know how to leave now, I will be in a hurry with you.”
With that said, Jiang Zhiluo quickly entered the house, scooped out a ladle of kudzu root powder and put it in an oil paper bag. She also took some pickles and hurried out, "Auntie, this is kudzu root powder. When you go home to make it, scoop a little and pour it into a bowl. , first mix it with cold water, then pour in hot water, and stir it while pouring, until it becomes a paste. You can add some sugar or honey to drink it, which is good for your health. "
“There is also this plum cabbage, which can be stir-fried or stewed. It is delicious, but it is dried plum cabbage. When you cook it, soak it in water for a while..."
She knows that Niu's cooking skills are also good. The bean buns she gave him before were delicious.
Mr. Niu was warm and moved in her heart, "Look at you, I'm here to give you something, but I have to pick up your things when I get back. How embarrassing."
When Niu gives something, he gives it sincerely.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Auntie, don't be polite to me. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. If I have something to do later, I'll have the nerve to ask you for help, auntie."
Under Jiang Zhiluo's insistence, Niu had no choice but to hold it.
She knew that the things Zhiluo gave were all good things, things that could not be seen on the market.
She doesn’t know what kudzu or pickles are.
It’s noon and I don’t know what to do, so let’s stir-fry vegetables with pickled vegetables.
I happened to cut a catty of meat at home and stir-fry it with pickled vegetables to taste.
Shanmao, the child, helped her pick apricots and complained that she was hungry and wanted to eat.
There was nothing else to eat at home, so he could only eat a few apricots.
However, she tasted that the apricots this year were sweeter. In two days, there would be ripe apricots on the trees again. She picked them and went to the town to sell them at a stall.
How many cents can you earn? Anyway, it’s extra money.
Mr. Niu thought about this and hurried back home.
Shanmao was reluctant to throw away the almonds after eating them. He was smashing the almond shells with stones to eat the almonds inside.
He heard the sound and ran up and said: "Mom, you are back."
“Have you given anything to Sister Jiang?”
Niushi tapped Shanmao's forehead and said, "Don't worry, I've given it."
“You kid also knows how good your sister Jiang is.”
Shanmao nodded and said, "Well, everyone says Sister Jiang is good and likes Sister Jiang."
“You kids know a lot.”
Niu felt a little funny.
"Then I don't understand. I heard everything my parents said. My mother wanted to sell food before. Thanks to Aunt Cui and Sister Jiang, she didn't sell food. Otherwise, if you don't have food, you have to spend more money to buy it at the food store. …”
“Also, Brother Zhao Erlin said that if the war hits our village, we will go to the mountains to take shelter. Sister Jiang has found a good place.”
“And the chili meat sauce that Sister Jiang gave me before is delicious..."
Shanmao said, waving his fingers and saying: "There are also sophora flower buns. My friends all like to eat them, and I also like to eat them."
Niu was stunned. He didn't expect that a child could remember this.
"Your sister Jiang is indeed a very nice person. I'm really embarrassed to ask for her things. She gave me kudzu root powder. Although my mother doesn't know what it is, I'll make a bowl for you to taste first."
As he spoke, Niu scooped out the bottom of a bowl, poured some cold boiled water into it and stirred it evenly, then brewed it with hot water, stirring while brewing.
After stirring for a while, it becomes a paste.
“The color looks different, it must be delicious.”
Niu felt something fragrant when she smelled it. She looked at the hungry goat hair and dug a spoonful of honey into it. Her natal brother got this honey from the mountains and gave her a small jar.
She is reluctant to use it at all.
This will satisfy Shan Mao's hunger.
“Wow, mommy has honey.”
"Okay, take it and drink it. Do you like it?"
Shan Mao couldn’t wait to take it and took a bite with a spoon.
Taking it into my mouth, "Mom, it's smooth and delicious."
"Yeah?"
“Mom, you eat too.”
Speaking, Shanmao scooped up a spoonful and handed it to Niu.
Ms. Niu couldn't bear to take a bite of delicious food. She felt that her son was happier than she was after eating it.
But she also wanted to taste something.
Niu took a spoonful of the kudzu powder handed to her by her son.
She was stunned. She didn't expect it to be so smooth and tender.
Especially with honey, it tastes really good.
She had never drunk anything like this.
“Zhiluo, this child is really capable!”
The food they make is so unique and delicious.
Niu took a bite and wanted to eat more, but looking at her son's eyes, she felt that her son liked to eat and she felt happy, which made her feel sweet.
“Okay, take it and eat it quickly.”
“Mom, you eat too.”
“Mom is not hungry now. She still wants to cook. You can take it and eat it.”
Shanmao is still seven years old, and he doesn’t quite understand what adults think. He thinks that when his mother says he’s not hungry, he means he’s not hungry.
He was very hungry. Shanmao took the bowl aside, scooped it up with a spoon and ate it one bite at a time, with a satisfied look on his face.
Mr. Niu couldn't help laughing when she saw him like that.
…
Cui family
Although Cui Qingci was drinking porridge in the living room, the door of the living room was open, so she could see the movement in the yard and hear the voices in the yard.
She heard what my sister-in-law was talking to just now.
She can feel the sincere enthusiasm between people.
It touched her heart slightly.
Mrs. Cui said: "That was our neighbor who used to live in the small courtyard. He liked to say that the parents in the village were short-sighted and talkative, but they were not evil-minded and they were warm and cheerful."
“Everyone helps each other.”
“The life here is simple but also warm.”
Cui Qingci said softly: "This is really good."
The lives of people in the village are simple, and their status and living conditions cannot be compared with those of big families.
But they have good intentions and are pure in heart.
This place is better than the Pei family.
Mrs. Cui said: "You may not be used to living here at first, but as time goes by, you will also like it."
Cui Qingci said: "Mom, there's nothing I'm not used to. It's nice here."
Just watching the scene where my sister-in-law was talking to Aunt Niu and feeling the customs and sentiments here, Cui Qingci felt very comfortable.
She likes this feeling.
…
get out of class was over at Shizi Academy in the afternoon, and Cui Hejin was not in a hurry to go home.
He is waiting for someone.
As expected, after a while, Liu Tingan entered Shishi Academy and came to Cui Hejin's study.
"The information you asked me to investigate about the Pei family is all here."
