Chapter 24
Luo Tian felt that her elder aunt, Luo Baiqiu, was also a very interesting person. Qingquan Township was not far from Luojia Village, only two villages away. When the mother's family travels, they only ask someone to send gifts during the festival. Only every New Year, they will go home to pay New Year's greetings to their parents. They also come and leave on the same day, and never stay overnight.

She had only met Luo Baiqiu once, and her perception of this aunt was neither good nor bad, but she was a little curious about her purpose of returning to her natal home at this time.

Luo Baiqiu went back to her natal family. As a sister-in-law, Fang was supposed to be there to entertain guests, but now that she separated from her family, she didn't want to associate with Yao, so she only said hello to Luo Baiqiu when she entered the yard. , when Luo Baiqiu entered the main room, she went to work on her own, and refused to go up to join in the fun, but Luo Baiqiu sent Luo Baining to call them.

Luo Baining showed reluctance, Fang wanted to refuse, but Luo Baiqiu called again, so she had no choice but to wash her hands, called Luo Tiandu and Luo Mingdu, and followed into the house.

Yao sat cross-legged on the kang, several boxes were placed on the low table, some of them were opened, they were all rouge powder, the room was filled with a pungent smell of powder.

Luo Baining was playing with those red, green and green powder boxes, when he saw Luo Tiandu's mother and daughter coming in, he turned his head and snorted softly.

Luo Baiqiu stretched out his hand under the table and gave her a quiet pinch, warning her not to talk too much, then turned around and called Fang affectionately: "Sister-in-law, come and sit down."

Fang saw that there was no room on the kang, so she moved two old chairs and sat down.

Luo Baiqiu called Luo Baining to pour tea again, Luo Baining turned his face away, as if he didn't hear, Fang smiled and said: "No, there is boiling water in the room, if I'm thirsty I'll pour it, you come back once in a while, Ningning I also want to talk to you more."

Hearing what she said, Luo Baiqiu's face really softened a lot, and he called Luo Mingdu to come forward, pulled her to praise her, and said: "In the blink of an eye, Mingdu will be a big girl, and in two years she will go to someone else's house I’m gone, I don’t know how many times I can see you.” After speaking, she picked out a copper-wrapped tin hairpin from the opened box and handed it to Luo Mingdu, saying: “My aunt doesn’t have any good things. I leave the hairpin to you, so you can dress up."

Luo Baining felt uncomfortable because Luo Baiqiu asked her to serve Fang's mother and daughter with tea and water. Seeing that Luo Baiqiu actually picked something out of the box for Luo Mingdu, he immediately took the hairpin from Luo Mingdu's hand. He snatched it away, widened his eyes, and said, "These are all mine, so I won't give them to you."

She used a lot of force, and Luo Mingdu's palm was instantly scratched with a white mark. Fortunately, the hairpin was tin-plated with lead, so it wasn't very sharp, and it didn't break the skin and bleed.

Luo Baiqiu hastily pinched her, maybe the force was too heavy, Luo Baining cried out in pain, Luo Baiqiu glared at her, and said: "The name is your niece, you are an elder, how can you steal things from your little niece?" Woolen cloth?"

After speaking, he took the hairpin back and stuffed it back into Luo Mingdu's hand, saying: "Your sister-in-law has a childish temper, she was joking with you, don't bother with her."

Luo Baining muttered, and muttered unwillingly: "Eldest sister is biased."

Since Luo Baiqiu entered the door, he always greeted everyone with a smile on his face. He treated Fang Shi and Luo Ming very kindly, but he never looked at Luo Tiandu, as if he didn't see her at all.Luo Tian knew in his heart that this must be because of what Yao shi said in front of Luo Baiqiu, which made Luo Baiqiu have an opinion on him, and deliberately snubbed her.She laughed secretly in her heart, Yao Shi is already a grandma, but she has such a small mind, and she is serious with a child, it is really useless to live such a big age.

After Luo Baiqiu chatted with Fang Shi, he secretly winked at Yao Shi.

Since Fang entered the door, Yao, who was sitting motionless on the kang like a Bodhisattva, suddenly coughed twice, and said, "Master, I came to see you today for something."

Luo Tian thought to himself, everyone knows that you must be looking for something, so you won't be idle and bored looking for them to do chores.

But now Fang Shi panicked when she heard that Yao Shi had something to do with her, because Yao Shi never had any good things to do with her.

"I heard that the rice noodles you steamed are very popular with the magistrate of the county. Changping will go to the county exam next year. Our family members know that it is a matter of money. As a sister-in-law, you should also help One, I see that since the rice noodles are very profitable, why don't you teach Bai Qiu the method of steaming rice noodles, so that she can steam some rice noodles and sell them in her spare time, which is also a profit."

Fang frowned when she heard this, rice noodles are very profitable, she has tasted the sweetness, now only her family can make a lot of money, and now Yao shi asks her to teach the steaming method, she is not happy.

Luo Baiqiu looked at Fang's expression, picked out another silk flower from the box, handed it to Luo Mingdu, and said with a smile: "Here, your skin is fair, you look good in this color."

Even Luo Ming refused to take it, so Luo Baiqiu insisted on stuffing it in her pocket, pressing down on her hand, not letting her take it out.

Seeing this, Mrs. Yao coughed heavily, looked at Mrs. Fang and said in a bad tone, "We are all one family, so you should reach out to help if you have something to do. Now Bai Qiu has something to come to the door, you are a sister-in-law. , not only does not help, but also makes the child ask for things from Bai Qiu, what do you mean?"

Fang Shi was reprimanded by Yao Shi, his face turned red and white with embarrassment.

Luo Baiqiu hurriedly interrupted Yao Shi, and said with a smile: "Mother, you're out of touch with what you said, even if sister-in-law doesn't help me this time, wouldn't Luo Mingdu be my niece, and we wouldn't be a family anymore?" ?”

Luo Tiandu rolled his eyes, looked at Yao Shi and smiled: "Grandma, we are a family, if Auntie wants to learn this steaming method, we naturally have to teach it carefully."

"Xiaodu..." Fang didn't understand how Luo Tiandu, who had always been at odds with Yao, agreed so readily today.

Luo Mingdu also secretly tugged at the corner of Luo Tiandu's clothes, with a look of disapproval.

Yao raised her head, squinted her eyes and looked at Luo Tiandu. This was the first time that this little granddaughter was willing to follow her wishes. She thought that Luo Baiqiu deliberately ignored her today, and that the authority of her elders frightened her. Finally, Convinced, I feel a little proud.

Luo Tiandu didn't seem to see the faces of Fang Shi and Luo Mingdu, and explained the steaming method of rice noodles in detail with a smile.

Luo Baiqiu saw that Fang Shi was sullen and did not speak, so he had some mistrust of Luo Tiandu, a child, and asked Fang Shi again with a smile, and he was relieved when he got the exact same answer from Fang Shi, and praised Luo Tiandu once more with a smile .

Yao Shi was also a little surprised, she didn't expect this time to go so smoothly, Fang Shi taught the way to make money so easily, just like what Luo Baiqiu thought, she also thought that Fang Shi had some bad intentions, so she Confirm with Fang again and again.

"That's how the rice noodles are steamed. If Grandma and Auntie don't believe it, why don't you go back and try steaming them?"

Yao shi thought about it, since they all lived in the same yard anyway, if Fang shi really played tricks, she would be able to find someone across the threshold, and she wouldn't be afraid of Fang shi running away.

Thinking of this, she said to Luo Baiqiu: "You stay here today, and tomorrow you will steam a pot of rice noodles here with the boss before going back."

She still doesn't trust Fang Shi, and let Fang Shi be both a teacher and a laborer. You must know that Luo Baiqiu has no strength to push the big stone mill in the yard, so she has to rely on Fang Shi.

After Yao shi finished talking, he turned his face to talk to Luo Baiqiu, and ignored Fang shi.Fang Shi took Luo Mingdu and Luo Tiandu back, and now she also refuses to stay with Yao Shi for a moment.

Back in the east room, Fang pulled Luo Tiandu aside to teach him a lesson: "Why are you talking so fast, you kid, you taught them how to steam rice noodles, didn't you want to steal our business?"

Luo Tian didn't mind at all, and explained with a smile: "How much rice noodles can we steam in a day? How much rice noodles can we sell? Besides, if there were a bowl of rice noodles and a bowl of noodles in front of you as usual, what would you choose? Eat Rice noodles or noodles?"

Fang thought for a while, and finally said: "It's better to eat noodles."

She is used to eating noodles, and it’s okay to eat rice noodles once in a while to taste something new. If she really wants to be the staple food every day to fill her stomach, she still likes to eat noodles.

"That's it. This steaming method is not complicated. Even if we don't talk about it today, grandma and the others will watch it in the yard later, and it will be fine. Anyway, they will know in the end. Why don't you tell me directly today? They, so that grandma won’t have to ask again.”

Fang thought so too, they don't have a proper kitchen, and they live in the same courtyard, and when they steam rice noodles, Yao has to watch from the sidelines, can they drive her out?It's just that such a way of making money was handed over for nothing, and she felt a little distressed.

"It's also because I didn't think clearly. We northerners always like pasta. If we hadn't been lucky enough to meet the magistrate from the south this time, I'm afraid not only would we not be able to make any money, but we would even have to pay for it." Luo Tiandu She also felt that she was really lucky, and it was the first time she did business so smoothly, but she also thought very clearly that it was really luck to make money this time, but having said that, luck is also a factor of strength. factor is not?
Seeing that Fang was still a bit overwhelmed, Luo Tian said again: "If it was really so profitable, the restaurant in the town would have sent someone to ask us what we did. After these days, there was no movement in the town, which means that rice noodles It's not that easy to make money." From this, it can be seen that those old shopkeepers who have been in business for many years are really vicious, and they can see clearly whether something can really make money.

What else did she want to say, she glanced coldly at the door and Luo Baining was poking around again, then stopped, feeling even more depressed.Since the separation of the family, Luo Baining changed her habit of playing outside and stayed at home all day, that's all. She also likes to stealthily eavesdrop around her house, making it difficult to guard against.Although there is nothing in her house to be peeped at, but as long as you think that at some point, there will be a pair of eyes staring at you where she can't see, the hairs on your neck will stand on end, and you will feel uncomfortable. The aggrieved thing is that she really can't do anything to Luo Baining.

Fang sighed, didn't say anything, took a bucket to fetch water, they went out once, and the water tank at home was empty again.
