Road to Rebirth

Chapter 90
Li Xuemei couldn't laugh or cry.

This is what parents are crazy about.

This has to move the family here.

This person is really incomparable.

Compared with Mrs. Gu's stinginess, Li Qinghai's family is simply too generous to their daughter and nephew.

Of course, there will be no missing Li Weimin and Li Weiqiang's family because of Gu Xiaoqing's idea and earned money, subconsciously want to give Gu Ruhai more care.

But this is also determined to be generous.

When Gu Ruhai saw it, he jumped up in fright.

Repeatedly said: "What can I do? There are too many of these. I must have taken them by mistake. I will send them back."

I started to cover the cloth and prepared to send it back with a basket.

Li Xuemei slapped Gu Ruhai's hand and poked Gu Ruhai's forehead, "You look so stupid."

Take out everything in the basket one by one.

Gu Xiaojie didn't notice anything else, but when he saw the bag of sugar-fried peanuts, his eyes were wide open. After touching it with his little hand, he pinched two from the inside and threw them into his mouth. The mouth and cheeks are bulging and moving.

It looks like a little mouse stealing food.

Gu Ruhai stood aside and asked anxiously: "This is, what is this for? You can't keep this, it's too much, and it's too expensive."

Gu Xiaoqing gave her father a hand and said, "Dad, this is what grandpa and grandma gave us to improve our lives. You can't send it back. That's not a waste of grandpa and grandma's wishes."

When Gu Ruhai heard it, it was true.

But this is really too expensive.

Li Xuemei looked at Gu Ruhai's tangled look, and sighed.

"You just don't know what to do with your brain. This must have been discussed by your parents, elder brother and sister-in-law. You should think it is for you. It's not for the sake of the three children. Besides, there is Xiaoqing's idea." "Brother, they don't want to be in debt, they feel uncomfortable, and always feel that they owe us, so they treat us better with the New Year gift. Don't make a fuss."

If you don't mention this, Gu Ruhai will not be able to sleep.

Gu Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief.

Rolling up a cigarette, he said, "That's what it should be. My uncle and the others have helped us a lot these years. This time we can do our best not because of Xiaoqing. Besides, they are all relatives. How can we need it?" So polite."

Even though he said so, Gu Ruhai felt at ease. It was the first time someone treated him with such dignity, treated him like a real relative, he was an equal, not the kind of handout to sympathize with himself or the children.

This feeling was Gu Ruhai's first experience, and it was also the most comfortable place.

Looking at the two chattering people, Gu Xiaoqing thought that according to the character of the eldest uncle and the second uncle, he is not stingy and mean, but also has something to do in his heart.It is estimated that in the second year of junior high school, the original [-]% of the molecular money was still there.

It is estimated that my father will not be shocked by then, and he will cover his mouth and hide to the side, secretly having fun.

Gu Xiaojie saw Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai chatting non-stop there, hurriedly moved the pork to the stove, quickly reached out his hand to open the pocket of fried peanuts, and grabbed a large handful of fried peanuts Stuffing it into his pocket, he said to Gu Ruhai and ran away.

"Father, I went to play with Zhang Zijie."

That speed is like a runaway wild horse.

Gu Xiaoqing glanced at the bag with its mouth open, and sighed, her younger brother is kind and smart, probably the only shortcoming is that he is such a foodie.

It's no wonder, it's all because of the poverty in the past, not to mention Xiaojie, even myself and Gu Xiaoying, I can't change it once I eat, I eat quickly, even if my stomach is full, but my mouth still involuntarily eats more Eat some, and eat some more.

It was an irresistible defense against hunger.

Everything is packed here.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, every household starts grinding tofu.

The night before, soak the soybeans in water overnight.

In the morning, I used a stone mill to grind it bit by bit into a white pulp, which was not fine enough, and the bean dregs inside were still very thick. Li Xuemei forced Gu Ruhai to grind it again twice before she was satisfied.

I used the brine I had found a long time ago, and mixed some into the pulp in an appropriate proportion.

After a while, the white pulp began to condense into pieces of tender white tofu nao, Gu Ruhai shouted from the stove to the main room: "Children, get up and eat tofu nao, fresh out of the pot .Hurry up."

With this voice, the three sweet guys who were still sleeping just now got out of bed.

After putting on their clothes, the three of them washed roughly, and then ran into the kitchen room. The place was already shrouded in white mist, and the inside was full of steam.

Li Xuemei filled a porcelain basin full of tofu brains and put it aside, with a lid on it.

The other tofu is poured into a wooden box, which is available in every family, but it is not used much at ordinary times. A layer of cage cloth is placed underneath, and the cage cloth is folded and covered on top, and the top is pressed. Put on a wooden board and put it aside to wait for the tofu to form.

The three children here have long since starved to death.

Gu Xiaoqing is still a little sensible, if the tofu nao is eaten dry, it will not taste good.

It will be enough if there is seasoning.

Leek sauce, chili oil and so on are available at home.

Gu Xiaoqing turned on the stove and made a small pot of stewed bean curd. In it, he boiled some leftover soy beans from his own ground tofu, put some vermicelli in the vermicelli, seasoned it, and thickened it with starch. one time.

Enough.

Pour it into a small basin and serve it with tofu nao.

The family of five had a great time eating.

Gu Xiaojie ate three big bowls by himself, which frightened both Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai.

It's not that the child is not allowed to eat, it's because he is worried that eating will support his appetite. The child is still young and his appetite has not yet grown up. If he eats like this, he will be afraid that he will accumulate food and feel uncomfortable at night.

There is nothing to worry about, the tofu brain has already been eaten, and it is too late to regret.

Gu Xiaojie is like a normal person, he is still having fun.

Gu Xiaoqing could only quickly hide the remaining tofu brains.

The whole family is busy.

On this day, the family still needs to fry meatballs, fried tofu, fried pork, fried fish, fried meat, and most importantly, fried fruits, and several large pots of steamed buns.

Rural people do not get angry very much from the first month to the fifth day of the first month. The main dishes from New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the first month must be prepared first.

So today and tomorrow are the busiest time in the village, and it is also the time with the best taste.

The smell of fragrant fish is everywhere.

The taste of the year is already very strong.
