Chapter 48 A boy with a good nature
"How can it be false? Look at the clothes that I and the children are wearing, as well as the ox carts. By the way, these are the fabrics and rice flour brought to you." Shui Qing took the opportunity to say.
Mother Hu was very happy to see the new clothes for her daughter and her family. When she saw the things she had brought for them, the smile on her face faded and she whispered: "You just have some money, just use it for yourself.
Your father and brother and I have a good life, so what are you buying these expensive things for? "
She looked at the rice and flour on the floor of the main room with some distress. It must weigh more than a hundred kilograms, right?
"Mom, you have a bad stomach. Eat rice to support yourself." Shui Qing said sincerely.
Mother Hu still felt that the things her daughter had bought were too expensive. Thinking of the fact that she had finally come back and no one else was eating at home today, she said, "Mother, I made white flour and big meat buns for lunch!"
The children were already cheering.
Shui Qing was also very happy.
Her kitchen, as simple as a wilderness survival version, didn't even have a chopping board, so she couldn't even make buns, dumplings or noodles.
Now when I heard Mother Hu wanted to make buns, she quickly rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward: "Mom, let me help you."
Mother Hu originally wanted her daughter to rest, but she also wanted her daughter to chat with her for a while, "...Okay."
Although it is said to be a big meat bun, it cannot be all meat.
Mother Hu prepared three kinds of fillings.
Cut a Chinese cabbage into shreds, sprinkle with salt and water, and mix with lean meat later to make big steamed buns stuffed with cabbage and meat.
After the fat meat is refined into lard, chop the oil residue into fine pieces and mix it with vegetables and mushrooms to make mushroom and vegetable buns. The lard residue is added inside to make it more fragrant and can barely be regarded as meat buns.
Both of these are light in taste, and Hu Mu decided to make the last one with a strong taste.
When she went to the market in the morning, she bought two pieces of fresh tofu, just in time to make spicy tofu buns.
The pork hasn't come back yet, so Mother Hu first adjusts the other fillings for the buns, and kneads the dough with Shuiqing aside.
"Mom, I brought eggs, why don't you make egg drop soup at noon?" Shui Qing suggested.
She looked at the spicy tofu stuffing and wanted to eat it, but she was afraid of the spicy food without the soup to go with it.
Mother Hu didn't expect there were eggs, so she hurried to get them and was shocked when she saw the number of eggs.
She hurried back to the kitchen and asked in a low voice: "Why did you bring so many eggs? Does your son-in-law know?"
"I know, I know, he asked me to bring it. Mother, you don't know, we are feeding thirty-seven old hens now, and we can pick up dozens of eggs a day. What do you think this little thing he brought for you is nothing?" Shui Qing Pushing towards Fan Jin.
Anyway, I bought it in the mall for more than 100 yuan, but it was less than 100 yuan.
If she wasn't afraid of attracting attention, she could round up her parents' eggs.
When she heard that it was her son-in-law who had asked her to take care of her, Mother Hu was relieved and immediately became extremely happy.
I couldn't help but mutter: "I won't bring more with me next time. The children are growing, so give them some supplements."
Shuiqing looked at Hu's mother's smiling face with deepened wrinkles, and replied: "The children are important, and you and dad are equally important. Let's eat something delicious together."
As a parent, who doesn’t like their children to take them into their hearts?
Mother Hu turned her back, pulled up her sleeves to wipe her eyes, and said, "I don't know where the wind came from, and it blew my eyes."
Shui Qing didn't tell anyone, and kneaded the dough quietly.
"Sister! Mom, I'm back!" A heroic shout accompanied by heavy footsteps came from the yard.
Immediately, the kitchen door was pushed open, and Hu Wenhua's tall and muscular body walked in. He first handed the meat in his hand to Hu's mother, and then saw the prepared fillings and the white dough on the chopping board, and he couldn't take his eyes away. Got it!
"Our food is so good!"
Mother Hu glanced at her son with a meaning, "You have worked hard these days. Eat something good to replenish your body."
Shui Qing looked at his brother quickly, not knowing why.
Hu Wenhua scratched his head naively, and without explaining, gave a reason: "I'm taking some nieces and nephews to the market to play!"
He has been doing part-time work these days and has earned more than 100 yuan. He just happened to take a few children to buy delicious food!
"Take them out, you have to keep an eye on them! Watch out for the flowers!" Mother Hu shouted worriedly.
"Mom, don't worry!"
"Grandma, don't worry, we won't run around and we will keep uncle in check!"
The five children followed Hu Wenhua excitedly.
Hu Wenhua's name does not match his rugged appearance and strong body, nor does his age of fifteen.
It looks like a tall and sturdy hill when walking. Even other strong men will take the initiative to avoid it if they see it, for fear of getting into trouble.
Yan Qiuxing asked several children to follow him, feeling very safe.
Fan Jin, who was coming back from mowing the grass, saw his brother-in-law taking his children out, so he quickly fed the grass to the cows and followed him.
There were many people in the market, and stalls on both sides took up half of the narrow road. There was a crowd in the middle. Fan Jin was worried about being taken advantage of, so he held the two girls tightly with each hand.
Hu Wenhua held Fan Hu with his left hand and Fan He with his right hand, asking Fan Jiang to follow behind him. With him in front, others could not squeeze Fan Jiang.
"There are no candied haws in this season, but there are candied paintings. Do you want to eat them? Uncle's treat!" Hu Wenhua asked loudly behind him.
How can children not like sweet food?
Especially beautiful and delicious sugar paintings!
Fan Jin was just about to say that he would pay, but when he realized that he had no money, he had to watch five children surrounding Hu Wenhua, squeezing the candy painting stall to the limit.
He waited quietly.
"Go away! Master, I have to go out alone today! Anyone who stops me will be slapped!" The domineering voice came suddenly, which was particularly incongruous in the happy and peaceful market.
Fan Jin and his companions looked towards the source of the sound, thinking that some bully was bullying passersby.
On a tall horse with a white body and no stray hair, a handsome boy of about twelve or thirteen years old sat upright.
The boy held the reins, his face full of impatience, and was scolding the servants who were holding the reins for him.
"Master, you can't act alone. If you lose a hair, we won't be able to report to you." The servants begged bitterly.
The boy saw that everyone in the market was looking at him, and his childish face showed shame and anger, "Let go! There are dragons and tigers outside, I want to go there too!"
He pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, and whipped the horse's butt hard. The horse felt pain and raised its hooves and ran away.
A group of servants followed behind him and shouted: "Master, Master, come back quickly, it's dangerous outside!"
"Master, you are still young, how can you know how dangerous it is outside, stop and come back with us"
The louder the servants shouted, the more fiercely the young man in front whipped his horse, and soon disappeared at the end of the market.
The market returned to its previous bustle and peace.
Hu Wenhua praised: "What a handsome white horse!"
The owner of the sugar painting stall continued: "This is a rich young man who has never suffered and knows how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."
A passerby nearby spat and cursed: "He has a good life but he is really asking for trouble! People like them should not enjoy happiness!"
"God is unfair. Why can such people be born into a good family and enjoy happiness!"
Fan Jin frowned and defended the boy in a gentle voice: "This boy has good character. You see, although he made a fuss, he didn't whip the servant, and his horse's hooves didn't crash into the crowd;
I guess his family members controlled him too much, so he wanted to come out and try. After all, he is not a bad person."
