Chapter 42
The moonlight is beautiful tonight and the wind is gentle.

The bright moonlight poured down like a Milky Way waterfall. Father Lin and the others carried their burdens and walked slowly towards the courtyard of the Lin family.

At the door, Mother Lin's slender body was slightly bent. She held an oil lamp in her right hand and blocked the mischievous breeze with her left hand.

The lights flickered and remained on for a long time, and Mother Lin's vision was somewhat blurred, and she managed to see the future clearly through the moonlight and lights.

Now the drooping eyes narrowed into the moon of the second year of junior high school, and the wrinkles on the brows and eyes were full of joy.

She raised her legs and was about to walk over, but Father Lin walked over first, took the oil lamp and handed it to Lin Yudong who was beside him, and then held Mother Lin's arm.

The tone was quite dissatisfied, but mixed with concern: "The night is getting dark, what are you doing at the door?"

"Who told you to come back so late!" Mother Lin glared back, turned and walked into the courtyard.

Father Lin's voice weakened: "It's my fault today. There are not many goods at the pier. If you go, you can get thirty cash, so I took my two children with me..."

As he spoke, he took out a wooden hairpin from his pocket, and said in a flattering tone, "Look, this engraved is your favorite plum blossom."

Mother Lin cast her eyes down, feeling a little happy in her heart, but she blamed her and said, "Why are you buying this thing for me?"

"Why do you need a reason to buy something for you? I unloaded the goods, and I happened to see a peddler. This is like a hairpin. Just by looking at it, I think you will like it..."

Lin's father babbled to Lin's mother, and Lin Yudong and Lin Yuxi listened to Lin Yudong and Lin Yuxi without falling behind: "..."

Hasty, father really is father!
Why didn't they think of buying something for their daughter-in-law!

The two brothers of the Lin family couldn't help feeling a little guilty. After washing their hands in the yard, they went to their respective wives and asked if they could help, leaving Zhao Chunhua and Yang Hongfen at a loss.

Why is my man so attentive today?

Zhao Chunhua grabbed Lin Yuxi's sleeve calmly, leaned over, like a raccoon cat stroking its teeth and claws, and said in a fierce tone, "Did you do something to offend me?"

"Ah?" Lin Yuxi was confused by this sudden question.

Zhao Chunhua said again: "Suddenly so attentive!"

Lin Yuxi remembered Father Lin's words, and his desire to survive instantly rose, and instead he held Zhao Chunhua's hand, and said sincerely, "I don't need a reason to be nice to you."

Different from Mother Lin's reaction, Zhao Chunhua felt a little chills after hearing this, and felt goose bumps all over her body.

She let go of her hand quickly, and then moved two steps aside: "You...you speak normally."

She had been married to Lin Yuxi for many years, and this was the first time she heard him say such a thing, so she couldn't get used to it.

Lin Yuxi: "..."

Yang Hongfen lowered her head and quietly followed Lin Yudong. If someone got closer, she could see a smile on her lips and red earlobes.

The whole family sat together at the dining table.

Father Lin looked at the tofu on the table, a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes, he turned slightly sideways, and whispered to Mother Lin, "Huiniang, what is this dish? I don't think I've seen it before?"

Mother Lin laughed and said, "This is Yushu's food made from beans, she said it's tofu, try it!"

After all, she took the lead in scooping up a spoonful of Mapo Tofu into Father Lin's bowl.

Father Lin ate a piece in cooperation. The so-called tofu tasted tender and smooth, and did not have the expected beany smell, but a spicy smell, which made him unable to resist eating a few more mouthfuls, and at the same time nodded secretly in his heart. .

"Delicious!" Father Lin exclaimed, "I didn't expect this bean to be able to make such food!"

Other people in the room also moved their chopsticks one after another, and all of them showed surprise after eating.

Zhao Chunhua said: "I thought the bean curd tasted good, but I didn't expect this tofu to be even more delicious."

Li Yushu scooped up some egg and tofu soup for Lin Yan, and said with a smile, "This tofu is naturally tastier than tofu curd. If you eat tofu directly, you won't feel that way!"

Zhao Chunhua recalled the white and clean tofu, it was white and tender, it looked bland and tasteless: "You are right!"

Lin Yuxi who was at the side asked curiously: "Is this tofu curd made of tofu?"

Li Yushu swallowed the food in her mouth and nodded.

Lin Yuxi asked again: "How many catties of tofu can be made from this catty of beans?"

Li Yushu thought for a while and replied, "Four catties."

What she makes is soft tofu, which has a lot of water.

Lin Yuxi didn't reply, he tasted all three tofu dishes carefully, and did some calculations in his mind.

Swallowing the last mouthful of food, Lin Yuxi pulled Zhao Chunhua calmly, motioning her to go out with him.

Zhao Chunhua frowned slightly, but put down the bowl, and said apologetically, "I forgot to boil the water, mother, you eat first, I'll go and heat the water."

"Well, let's go!"

Mother Lin didn't think much about it, this dish was made in the kitchen of Sifang, it's normal for Zhao Chunhua to forget to boil the water.

Zhao Chunhua nodded, got up and walked out.

Seeing this, Lin Yuxi hurriedly said, "Mother, I'll go and help Chunhua."

"Go." Mother Lin nodded.

Lin Yuxi went out, but found that Zhao Chunhua was not waiting for him at the door, but a dim candlelight was burning in the kitchen.

He hurried over, Zhao Chunhua was pouring water into the pot.

"You really didn't boil the water?" Lin Yuxi walked over, picked up another wooden bucket, and poured water into the pot.

"That's right, I made the dishes in the kitchen of the sibling's room tonight." Zhao Chunhua squatted down and started to light the fire.

The fire gradually ignited, and the scorching light imprinted on Zhao Chunhua's face and Lin Yuxi's body.

Lin Yuxi reached out and touched the tip of his nose, and passed a piece of firewood to Zhao Chunhua.

"What's the matter with the tofu today?"

Zhao Chunhua put the firewood in, turned her head to look at Lin Yuxi, with doubts in her eyes: "What's wrong?"

The dark kitchen fell silent in an instant, the flames licked the air, people's faces were glowing red, flickering on and off, everything was so unreal.

As time passed, the firewood made a crackling sound, and Lin Yuxi said slowly, "I want to try selling tofu at the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days. If it sells well, we will focus on making it in the future." How about tofu?"

Such a passage is easy to say, but the meaning contained in it is heavy. If you concentrate on making tofu, you must enter a merchant.

Zhao Chunhua's hands that were poking firewood paused slightly, the fire was so close, she only felt her face was hot, and her brain gradually became blurred.

Until three or two sparks jumped on the back of her hand, Zhao Chunhua came back to her senses and withdrew her hand calmly.

Then she raised her head, and saw Lin Yuxi's eyes reflecting her figure and scorching fire.

She lowered her eyes and murmured, "This tofu recipe belongs to my siblings."

Lin Yuxi was slightly stunned, and then heard Zhao Chunhua say: "If you want to start a tofu business, wash Brother Yan in the evening, and when I take her back, I will poke her tongue. If she agrees, let's try it. It will only take a few minutes." Ri Xinsi, if she disagrees..."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Yuxi immediately said: "Then this business will not be done, and I will go to the temple fair with you then!"

Although he wants to earn money so that his wife and children can live a good life, he will never act like a villain for this. He must have a bottom line in life, let alone his own younger siblings.

Zhao Chunhua stood up, patted off the dust on the hem of her clothes, then held his hand, smiled and said, "Yes."

Lin Yuxi also smiled, and the two interlocked their fingers, and walked back to the main room.
