Running with the ball in the lean years, the evil mother-in-law and the whole family regretted it

The waiter who introduced it next to him quickly took the note over in embarrassment: "Sorry, our clerk probably accidentally dropped this when registering."

As he said that, the waiter noticed that there were words on the paper, so he opened it and read it. After reading it, the waiter calmly put the note away.

After seeing off the guests, he quickly handed the note quietly to Shopkeeper Fan.

After reading the contents on the note, Shopkeeper Fan quickly destroyed it and continued to entertain the guests calmly.

On the way home, the three sisters-in-law were very puzzled by Bai Taotao's behavior just now.

Zhu Xiaomei was the first one who couldn't help but ask: "Little sister, didn't you just ask about the situation? Why did you buy so much food again?"

Second sister-in-law Wang Xiaohua echoed: "Yes, yes, I bought a lot. Why did you buy so much glutinous rice?"

Bai Taotao smiled and explained patiently: "Glutinous rice is used to make glutinous rice cakes. We bought so much grain because we didn't want people to know that we were here to inquire about the market. You see, everyone who comes into the grain store has more or less bought grain. , the three of us went in, if we didn’t buy any food, it wouldn’t be suspicious.”

Only if she acts like a normal customer coming to buy food, her little tricks will not be noticed.

The three sisters-in-law seemed to understand.

Xu Daya spoke again: "Two hundred kilograms of glutinous rice, how many glutinous rice cakes do you need to beat? Why do you want to beat so many glutinous rice cakes?"

Bai Taotao continued to explain: "Give some New Year gifts to the workers in the workshop."

"Giving New Year's gifts to the workers? It's so nice of you as an employer." Wang Xiaohua looked envious.

Bai Taotao replied: "After all, the workers have worked hard for two or three months this year. They have to be more or less considerate. In the coming year, everyone will work more carefully, right?"

The three sisters-in-law nodded after hearing this.

Bai Taotao suddenly remembered and said: "By the way, sisters-in-law, you go back first. I have to go to the cattle and horse market to buy a horse and then match it with a carriage. This will save the cattle drivers from freezing to death in the winter and the sun in the summer."

Now that we have the conditions, we should travel with a carriage.

Otherwise, it would be okay for the adults to go out during the Chinese New Year, but the children can't stand riding in an oxcart in such a cold weather.

Because they had to go home to order and receive the goods, the three sisters-in-law did not go with them.

Bai Taotao went to the cattle and horse market alone, bought a good horse, and hitched it to a regular carriage. After registering at the county government office, she drove the carriage back to the courtyard.

When passing by the alley that he must pass home, Bai Taotao bought a rickshaw driver in his thirties from the mall when no one was around.

The driver also has martial arts skills, which will provide an extra layer of protection for future trips.

Bai Taotao named him Uncle Yuan.

Let Uncle Yuan drive the carriage, Bai Taotao got into the carriage, and then continued walking towards the small courtyard.

When they returned to the small courtyard, Aunt Jin happened to have returned from seeing off Wu Xiuxiu.

After a few people loaded their things onto the oxcart and horse-drawn carriage, they returned to the village.

Regarding Wu Xiuxiu's matter, there is only so much Bai Taotao can do, and the rest depends on how their own family handles it.

After arriving home, little Wanwan woke up just in time. Chen Youyi changed her diaper and was preparing to make milk powder to feed her. Bai Taotao heard the commotion and handed over the unloading matter to Aunt Jin and Uncle Yuan, so she hurried into the house. .

"Wanwan, mother is back, are you hungry?"

"I was about to make milk powder for her. Now that you're back, do you still want to make the milk powder?" Chen Youyi asked.

"I'll warm myself up first, and I'll breastfeed her later. I went out all morning, and my milk engorgement was uncomfortable. I drank two bowls of egg-sweet rice wine, which made me miserable. If I had known better, I wouldn't have drank it. ." I have lived with Chen Youyi for a long time. Although there is no so-called husband and wife life, my speech is no longer so reserved. I always say whatever I want.

It's just that sometimes after saying something, they both blush when they realize something is wrong.

Just like now, Chen Youyi felt that his blood was swelling. In order to alleviate this swelling, Chen Youyi quickly left the room after handing the child to Bai Taotao, and then stood in front of the house blowing the cold wind to calm himself down and calm down.

Bai Taotao didn't understand why this man ran away so fast today, and looked confused: "What did he do today? He ran so fast."

With that said, Bai Taotao waited for her body to warm up before taking off her clothes and feeding the little one.

After feeding the baby, the little one fell asleep again. After burping her, Bai Taotao put her on the bed and let her sleep by herself, and then she came out to assign tasks for the afternoon.

They had a heavy task in the afternoon and had to fight a lot of glutinous rice cakes.

As soon as it was said that Bai Taotao's family was going to make glutinous rice cakes, the villagers became lively again.

After lunch, many villagers came over to help. Those who had big dustpans at home all borrowed them to put the glutinous rice cakes on.

Although the people dispatched here are only old people and children, they are still very good at their work.

We held a banquet for Wanwan before, and the temporary stoves we built had not yet been dismantled, so they came in handy at this time. A pot of glutinous rice was steamed on each stove, five pots at a time, and all the stone mortars in the village were used to make glutinous rice.

The man is responsible for beating, the woman is responsible for pinching the medicine, and the child is responsible for pressing.

The big glutinous balls turned into small dumplings one by one under the hands of the villagers, and then turned into glutinous rice cakes one by one under the pressure of the children.

Then put the glutinous rice cakes neatly one by one and wait until they cool down. The glutinous rice cakes will harden so that they can be put away and the glutinous rice cakes will not deform.

Although some glutinous rice cakes are ugly, some are very big, and some are very small, the food made by hands is very delicious.

After a busy afternoon, everyone was sweating in a very cold winter.

This sweat is happy sweat.

Everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles.

The children are even looking forward to taking a glutinous rice cake and baking it on the charcoal fire in the stove to eat after finishing their work.

If you have sugar at home, sprinkle some sugar granules on the glutinous rice cake while the adults are not paying attention. It will taste glutinous and sweet, not to mention how happy you will be.

With the help of the villagers, Baitaotao finally finished the glutinous rice cakes he expected to need.

After counting, any extra ones were given to the people who came to help. Two were given to each person to take home and eat, including the children.

After getting two glutinous rice cakes, everyone was even more happy.

The sentiments of the villagers at this time were so simple. Even if they helped with the work for an afternoon, everyone was very satisfied even if there were only two glutinous rice cakes.

"If the folks are free tomorrow, you have to ask the big guys to come over and help. I have reserved a few pigs at the slaughterhouse and they will be delivered early tomorrow morning. Then I may need the big guys to help kill the pigs."

After distributing glutinous rice cakes to the villagers, Baitaotao hurriedly said something before everyone left.

Li Zheng's daughter-in-law, Chen Zou, heard this and asked curiously: "Daughter-in-law Youyi, you are making glutinous rice cakes and killing pigs. What are you doing? You can't finish eating so much. What are you doing?" Is the business coming?”

Bai Taotao smiled and said, "No, no, this is not about celebrating the New Year. The New Year's gifts prepared for the workers in the workshop are not many. Each person has five kilograms of meat, four glutinous rice cakes, and a bonus of one tael of silver. "(End of chapter)
