Siheyuan: Xu Damao corrects his evil ways

Chapter 127 127, it’s difficult for everyone

What else can a wife like this do?
  Xu Damao touched Lou Xiao'e's head and said dotingly: "I'll make dinner first and bake it for you as a midnight snack."

Lou Xiao'e nodded as if pounding garlic!

When Xu Damao turned around and walked towards the kitchen, Lou Xiao'e stuck out her tongue behind him.

This is naturally a naughty thing between young couples.

It should be said that Lou Xiao'e is much happier now than before.

Xu Damao's deliberate pampering was one of the reasons. After she was pregnant with the child, Xu's father and Xu's mother no longer criticized her. It was also one of the reasons.

It's unclear what happened after Feng Qi, but before that, all the conflicts between the two were basically related to their children.

Dinner was simple, noodles rolled directly by Xu Damao. Including the leftovers sent by Xu's mother during the day, it was just one meal.

Hand-rolling the dough is the simplest method. An egg is a luxury belonging to the Xu family. A little salt and warm water are slowly added. The flour is kneaded together to prove that the water is almost added.

The next step is to work on your hands, kneading and kneading until it becomes a ball. Knead until it is moderately soft and hard, knead until the surface is round, and leave it alone until there is no flour inside.

If I really didn't feel confident, I would cut it open with a knife and take a look. Of course, this is the method Xu Damao taught his daughter-in-law.

Then cover it with a basin and wake it up. The time it takes to smoke a cigarette is actually only about five to ten minutes.

The next step is the rolling pin and kitchen knife.

No matter how you roll it, you have to roll out the dough to a consistent thickness! It is also necessary to sprinkle some flour while rolling to prevent sticking.

After all, it doesn't stick, the thickness is the same, and it can be cut with a kitchen knife.

Put the pot in, put it in the basin, and add seasonings.

Then add some hot oil or something, and you can add something else if conditions permit.

When you pour it on top, it sounds "sizzling" and the fragrance is tangy.

This is just a trick to fool the stomach, not so sophisticated.

This year, few families in the whole yard can offer such a dinner.

Lou Xiao'e is a small bowl, and women always eat "less, less," and then "add a little, add a little more."

Xu Damao specially used pots for this reason.

Otherwise, if divided into two bowls, Lou Xiao'e would be embarrassed to share it from his bowl.

How does a pregnant woman know how big her belly is and how much she can eat?
  Lou Xiao'e always measured her appetite by her previous appetite, but she never thought that what she needed now was far more than just a person's needs.

This is because the conditions of the Xu family are not bad, plus the subsidy provided by the Lou Tan family when Lou Bancheng pretended not to see it. This allowed Lou Xiao'e to never lack white flour and eggs during her pregnancy.

Otherwise, in this year and age, it would be the norm to be like Qin Huairu when she was pregnant with Sophora japonica. If you can’t even eat whole grains, how can you care about nutritional balance?

gab!

Lou Xiao'e ate nearly half of the noodles and looked at Xu Damao longingly as soon as she finished her work in the kitchen.

She was waiting for Xu Damao to roast sweet potatoes for her.

Xu Damao asked: "Can you still eat it?"

Lou Xiao'e also touched her belly hesitantly, then nodded uncertainly and said, "A little bit."

The couple stared at each other, then laughed.

Xu Damao is busy and feels very fulfilled. This is the family life he wants.

But Xu Damao also knows that happiness like this is like a castle in the air. A strong wind blows and the whole house falls apart.

Now the Lou Tan family is still looking for the possibility of Lou Xiao'e going out. This kind of thing requires more than just going out. But after going out, you can survive and live well.

This is not easy.

······
  Yi Zhonghai has very complicated views on Qin Huairu. If Qin Huairu had nothing to do with the Jia family, Yi Zhonghai and Li Yun would have wanted to accept Qin Huairu as their daughter. This can only be said that Qin Huairu has a job in his eyes and is really good at it. It's over.

In terms of emotional intelligence, Qin Huairu is a few steps ahead of Jia Dongxu. For example, when Qin Huairu first entered the factory, Yi Zhonghai had to prepare meals and fill water to make tea, which never bothered Yi Zhonghai.

This was in the factory, and when he returned to the yard, Li Yun was washing sheets or something. As long as Qin Huairu saw it, he would do it directly without even having to say anything to the old couple.

She usually speaks nicely, and she always sounds like a master and a master. It is also said to the outside world that Yi Zhonghai treats Jia Dongxu as his son, so she, Qin Huairu, must fulfill her filial piety on Jia Dongxu's behalf.

With these words, Yi Zhonghai and his wife were quite satisfied, and they also invisibly cleared up Xu Damao's reputation on Yi Zhonghai.

This is what happened. It doesn't mean that Xu Damao gave Yi Zhonghai a bad reputation, and then Yi Zhonghai carried on with this reputation.

In any case, as time goes by, some people slowly forget about it, and there are also people who have cleared their name, and people who are close to him have cleared their name for him.

Regarding this matter, Yi Zhonghai and his wife thought that Qin Huairu was a grateful person.

As for Qin Huairu's workmanship, it was the least worrying thing for Yi Zhonghai.

Originally, when Jia Dongxu wanted to learn a craft, Yi Zhonghai would find ways to prevent him from learning it well.

What's more, Qin Huairu has no intention of learning, this is exactly what Yi Zhonghai wants.

In Yi Zhonghai's mind, teaching a disciple does not necessarily mean starving the master to death.

But if you teach someone who keeps saying that they want to provide for you in old age, they will definitely not pay attention to you anymore.

It’s not like we haven’t seen this kind of thing among the older generation.

How many apprentices keep saying that they want to support their master until they die, and when they learn the craft, they can support their families.

I would come back to visit in the first two years. As time goes by, if I can come back to visit during the holidays, I am a very conscientious person. Therefore, what Yi Zhonghai wants is to save more money while he can.

Then find a filial but useless person to stay by your side, and treat him with small favors.

When they get old, they will use their savings to hang on to each other, so that the other party can willingly provide for them until they die.

In fact, in the original drama, Yi Zhonghai did this and it was indeed successful.

But Qin Huairu happened to be from the Jia family, which made Yi Zhonghai hesitate.

With Jia and Zhang in the Jia family, they are definitely not good candidates for retirement. But letting Yi Zhonghai choose outside now is even more risky.

For example, if Yi Zhonghai and the others adopted one, they would not say any other reasons, but just follow the facts.

How much energy does it take to grow? How much? What if people want to recognize their biological parents in the future, or ignore them for other reasons.

This is a lifelong thing.

Not to mention the problem that people may die while growing up.

Yi Zhonghai and his wife could only gamble once, but Yi Zhonghai did not dare to gamble.

But there is no such problem when choosing in the courtyard. The Yi family can choose slowly, since the investment is not much anyway. This was also the case originally. In the beginning, it was Jia Dongxu, and Si Zhu brother and sister were the alternates...

As a result, all of this suddenly disrupted Yi Zhonghai's plan with Xu Damao's intrusion.

Now, Jia Dongxu is dead, and the Silly Zhu brothers and sisters have a falling out with him. There are several other people in the yard who have children, and it’s not like no one is willing to support them in their old age.

But Yi Zhonghai didn't dare because he was afraid that he would be ruined.

Yi Zhonghai thinks Qin Huairu is good, but Qin Huairu's goodness is unstable. Let's not talk about Jia Zhang's problem, let's just say that if Qin Huairu wants to start a family in the future, she will marry out of the courtyard. Then Yi Zhonghai and his wife had nowhere to cry.

This kind of thing is not impossible.

If you want to break the situation in this matter, you either need to find someone in the yard for Qin Huairu who has a good relationship with the Yi family. Or help Qin Huairu recruit a son-in-law.

But these days, it is not difficult for Qin Huairu to find a son-in-law for a young lady.

As she is now, there are seniors and juniors, who can do such a heartless thing.

As for the courtyard, there are only a few suitable ones, Shazhu, Xu Damao, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangqi.

Let’s not talk about whether to get married or not.

Liu Guangqi didn't have to think about it, he was too good.

The Yan family doesn't have to think about it. If they really facilitate this matter, they don't know whether they can expect to be able to provide for themselves in old age, but they will definitely be destitute.

Xu Damao and Silly Zhu became enemies with him again...

So now Yi Zhonghai doesn't care much about Qin Huairu hanging around in the factory. It even feels a bit laissez-faire.

He just thought about who Qin Huairu could like in the factory, and then they would help trick them into becoming their son-in-law.

This is the only way now.

As for the issue of marriage, let’s not talk about it because this issue was already taken care of in the original drama.

·····
  Xu Damao's daily task now is to serve Lou Xiao'e, and there is nothing he can do about it.

Before Lou Xiao'e was pregnant, she just didn't know how to take care of her master.

After getting married, it became even more violent.

Others are stupid after three years of pregnancy. What makes them stupid is their brains, but Lou Xiao'e's hands are useless.

In fact, he was used to it.

And Xu Damao didn't do this intentionally, it was just a habit brought about by later generations.

In the second half of the year, Xu Damao was originally the busiest time. At this time, the farmers in the countryside had finished their farm work and hid at home in winter. Then it would be a good thing to show a movie at this time.

It was indeed the case in the past few years. I heard Lao Xu say that when life in the countryside was pretty good a few years ago, people would queue up for a month or two in the communes and villages where they would go to the countryside to show movies.

If it's the village's turn to show a movie, it will be more lively than the Chinese New Year.

Notification was given to the village several days in advance so that the villagers could call friends easily. Although the food prepared by each household was not rich, the wine was enough.

Don't think that this is a loss-making thing, let alone the existing friendship between relatives and friends. Even if someone comes to be a guest, they will definitely not be empty-handed.

With such comings and goings, one's own family has face, relatives and friends can watch the fun, and one can gain a lot with one stone.

But in the past two years, farmers have had no food in their bellies.

Sijiucheng is still good, but it’s too busy when you’re busy. When I have free time like winter, I eat half water and half porridge to trick my stomach, then go to bed early and get through another day.

Like last year, Xu Damao traveled to many places.

At that time, everyone thought it was because of the weather, and the difficulty lasted only one year.

So last year's rolling mill still received something from the village.

But this year, even if the village has food in stock, it is afraid to sell it outside.

Only when the autumn harvest comes, do we dare to sell the surplus from previous years.

Of course, this is if there is a surplus in the village.

From what Xu Damao knew, there were such villages, but not many.
