Road to Rebirth

Chapter 25
When they got home, the two sisters started to work. Gu Xiaoqing taught Gu Xiaoying hand in hand. In Gu Xiaoqing's heart, she wanted to train her sister to be the main force of the family. After all, Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai had to rely on Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai's ability to accept and learn. .

The two sisters picked leeks and minced meat.

Gu Xiaoqing's meat stuffing is filled with special secret ingredients. Of course, this is the secret recipe handed down by the owner of the steamed dumpling shop back then.

However, these materials are some common materials and seasonings at home, and they are not novel things, but what people don't know is that the effects of these seasonings are not something ordinary people can make.

Very tasty.

Let's talk about ordinary rural people, who have just lived a life with no problem of food and clothing, and they will pay attention to whether they are satisfied with the taste.

Besides, many people don't treat the weeds that grow on the mountains and around the village as condiments.

Whoever cooks meat will consider whether to grab a handful of weeds.

So Gu Xiaoqing's seasoning is a secret recipe.

Gu Xiaoying had made the dough a long time ago and put it aside to wake up.

Gu Xiaoqing pulled out a ball of dough with one hand, put it on the chopping board, began to knead it evenly with his hands into thin strips of uniform thickness, and then pulled out small balls of uniform size one by one.

Knead one by one into a round shape, and then press it down, and it becomes a flat round medicine.

Holding the rolling pin in one hand and the agent in the other, start to roll out the dough evenly into a round dough.

"Hehe, both of you are covered."

Li Xuemei had heard the heat in the kitchen just now, and she thought in her heart that the two sisters would be tossing around, and then go out by themselves later, at least let these two ignorant little girls know that eating is not so easy to cook.

Who knows, when I lifted the curtain at this moment, what I saw was that Gu Xiaoying was already skillfully rolling out the dumpling wrappers. Gu Xiaoqing was holding the wrappers with one hand and putting the fillings in the other. dumplings.

They are crisp and neat, like women who have been working for many years, and to be honest, the dumplings made by Gu Xiaoqing, each with a round belly and a few folds on the beautiful side, are really indescribably beautiful.

Li Xuemei couldn't help being amazed.

How smart is my baby.

How can you do anything.

But I sighed in my heart again, these tasks really can't trouble Gu Xiaoqing and the others, after all, every year when I go to Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu's place to celebrate the New Year, I always have to make dumplings, and many children can do it too.

But when he was there, Gu Xiaoqing didn't have such a beautiful skill.

Presumably the child felt that he didn't have his own share, so he complained in his heart, how could he work hard.

"Mom, do you think our two dumplings look good?" Gu Xiaoqing put the dumplings in his hands and showed them to Li Xuemei as if offering a treasure.

Li Xuemei smiled and pinched Gu Xiaoqing's nose: "Looks good, I count you as a ghost, you know how to eat in your heart."

Gu Xiaoqing smiled awkwardly, she couldn't say that she wasn't doing it for food.

I really can't say this, at least let my mother approve of my craftsmanship, and then I can let Li Xuemei accept my proposal.

Gu Xiaoqing was also thinking about making some money for the family in the second half of the year, at least before the freezing point, and repairing the heated kang at home. The heated kang was broken long ago, but there was no money for it at home.

Every winter, I suffer a lot.

This year, I finally reborn myself, so what I need is to improve everything at home.

It is impossible to repair a house, and what is needed is not 100 or [-] yuan, and it is impossible to have so much money at once.

But at least repair the kang, change the quilts at home, and make new cotton clothes for the family. I have worn the cotton clothes for five years, and the cotton inside is already hard. up.

This is because parents are afraid of the cold for them, so they picked up good cotton and put them in the padded clothes of the three of them, otherwise it would be even more fatal.

But Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai's cotton padded clothes are not good, they have already become rotten, and they can't keep warm in winter.

Every winter is the most difficult time for their family.

This time, Gu Xiaoqing didn't want to live like this.

The family members must live well, have enough food and clothing, and have money in their hands. Don't be rich, but also live a good life and be worthy of this lifetime.

Li Xuemei washed her hands, rolled up her sleeves, took the rolling pin from Gu Xiaoying's hand, and began to quickly roll the leather.

Gu Xiaoying was assigned by Gu Xiaoqing to boil water. Gu Xiaoqing prepared some dumplings for steamed dumplings, some for fried dumplings, and some boiled for eating.

After all, it is for business. If you cook dumplings, it is not easy to preserve, and it is not good to prepare too much at one time. If you can’t sell too much, it is a waste, and the taste is not good, and it is not good to keep warm.

But if it is steamed and fried dumplings, then it is very easy.

Gu Xiaoqing finished making two bamboo curtain dumplings before stopping.

"Mom, I'm going to order dumplings."

Li Xuemei just wanted to say, go by yourself.

He was stopped by Gu Xiaoqing.

"Mom, but it's agreed, today I'm going to try my handicraft. If it's done well, our family will rely on it to do business. If you don't let me do it, if it doesn't taste good, then whose fault is it?"

Li Xuemei slapped Gu Xiaoqing's ass, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid of you, and now my teeth are getting sharper, no wonder your second uncle is at a disadvantage in your hands today. I can't say no to you. I see later Our family is only afraid that if you are the head of the family."

It was originally a funny sentence, but Gu Xiaoqing replied directly: "Then I will be in charge of the house. If the provincial parents are soft-hearted, I don't want Xiaojie to grow up and still live in this kind of house, and he can't even go to school." You have to figure it out, at least I want our family to live a good life. Live a life full of food, clothing and warmth, and not being bullied by others."

Li Xuemei was taken aback.

This is not pleasant to hear.

Whose family has such a big girl as the parents' home.

It's not, it's not...

But these words are so true, Gu Xiaoqing has a good heart and wants to make the family live well.

Such a simple wish.

Li Xuemei gritted her teeth secretly, "Your father won't agree, who's girl is in charge."

But what this means is that Li Xuemei agrees.

Gu Xiaoqing happily jumped up and down, hugged Li Xuemei and just took a bite, regardless of her flour-covered hands, wiped the whiteness and powder on Li Xuemei's face.

"Mom, it's fine if you support me. My father is the head of the family, and our family lives like this. I don't want to live like this forever. At least whoever has the ability should be the head of the house. This principle is correct. You can't just because it's my father. , obviously we can live a good life, but we must follow suit without enough food and clothing.”
