Chapter 63

Xie Qi followed Xu Xiaofu's example and kissed Xu Xiaofu's cheek, showing a few small teeth.Leaning in Xu Xiaofu's arms for a while, then remembered what Elder Sister He Hua said just now, and writhed in Xu Xiaofu's arms, "Mother, go down, baby go down..."

Xu Xiaofu hugged him, "What are you going to do?"

Xie Qi looked up at Xu Xiaofu, his chubby face was full of smiles, "Sister said... don't be hugged by mother... Mother, I have... little brother and little sister."

The little guy stuttered and finally said a word.

Xu Xiaofu smiled and kissed the little guy, then put the little guy on the floor covered with a thick blanket and let him play with the lotus.

The carriage arrived at Xu's house soon, and the business of the restaurant was on the right track, so there was no need for Wang Shi and Zhao Xiaolan to guard it, they all stayed at home.Shan Cha went down and knocked on the door, Wang opened the door after a while, saw Xu Xiaofu, and said happily: "Xiaofu, why did you come back today, yo, the fat boy is also brought back, come on, quickly let grandma hug you Hug, yo, this little guy has gained a lot of weight."

Mrs. Wang hugged Xie Qi, and the group entered the room. Zhao Xiaolan also came out with Xu Lin in her arms. Xu Lin is the son of Zhao Xiaolan and Xu Qingshan. He is more than three months older than Xie Qi and has round eyes. Looking at Xu Xiaofu, seeing Xu Xiaofu, he was about to push from Zhao Xiaolan's arms to Xu Xiaofu's arms, "Aunt hug..."

Xu Xiaofu took the little guy over with a smile, and said with a smile: "Our Lin'er is getting heavier again, it's not bad, it seems that we have a good meal, then Lin'er, tell me what you want, aunt will give you a reward, okay?"

Shan Cha was afraid that Xu Xiaofu would hurt the baby in her belly, so she hurriedly took Xu Lin over, "Ma'am, let me hug you, be careful of your stomach."

As soon as Wang and Zhao Xiaolan heard what Shan Cha said, they knew that Xu Xiaofu was pregnant again, and Wang said in surprise: "Xiaofu, again?"

Xu Xiaofu smiled and nodded, "The doctor has already seen it, more than a month."

Zhao Xiaolan said with a smile: "Then Xiaofu, you have to pay attention, don't hold the baby all the time."

Seeing that he was ignored by Shan Cha, Xu Lin tugged on Xu Xiaofu's sleeve, "Auntie, Lin'er wants a reward, Lin'er wants to eat chicken cake!"

The little guy was still thinking about the chicken cake made by Xu Xiaofu.Xu Xiaofu touched the little guy's chubby face, "Okay, auntie will make chicken cakes for our Lin'er later." Just as he was talking, a woman came out of the room. The woman looked a little mean and her body was a little dirty , seeing Xu Xiaofu, smiled and leaned over, "Our family's Xiaofu is capable, and he can make any snacks that are delicious. Go up and get a few pieces from his siblings, my little grandson eats it very happily. "

This woman is none other than Xu Xiaofu's eldest aunt Ma Shi.

Seeing Mrs. Ma, Xu Xiaofu knew that there must be nothing good, so he didn't want to talk to her at all, so he just politely called his auntie and went into the kitchen.She is not very sick right now, she can do light work, and plans to go into the kitchen to make some egg cakes.

Zhao Xiaolan and Shan Cha played with a few children in the yard, Mrs. Wang went into the kitchen to help, Mrs. Ma saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she followed into the kitchen with shame.

Xu Xiaofu brought out a dozen eggs, separated the yolk from the egg white, and began to beat the egg white with a few chopsticks. Wang was preparing flour at the side, "Xiaofu, is there enough flour? The ewe at home gave birth again a few days ago." Little lamb, there's a lot of milk, I'll squeeze some later. By the way, the cow next door to Old Chen's house has also given birth to a calf. Didn't you say it's better to use milk? I'm going to talk to Old Chen Some milk."

Xu Xiaofu nodded, "Okay, mother, go and order some milk. Cow's milk tastes better than goat's milk." Goat's milk needs to be deodorized before it can be used.

Mrs. Wang looked at Mrs. Ma who was standing beside her with a shy smile on her face, and pulled Mrs. Ma out, "Sister-in-law, accompany me to milk some milk." She could not help but drag Mrs. Ma out as well.Mrs. Ma was unwilling, but Mrs. Wang became stronger and dragged her out.

Not long after, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Ma came back again, and Xu Xiaofu's preparations had been completed, so it was impossible for Mrs. Ma to steal her lessons.Xu Xiaofu brushed the pan with oil, it was a custom-made pan that she specially went to the iron shop to bake the cake.

Put the lid on, and use a cloth towel to surround the edge of the pot lid, control the fire to the minimum, and then Xu Xiaofu cleaned his hands, "Mother, it's done, just turn off the fire in half a quarter of an hour and everything will be fine."

Mrs. Wang responded, and Mrs. Ma next to her was hesitant to speak. Mrs. Wang glanced at her and said, "Sister-in-law, go out and help me pick some cucumbers and beans in the backyard. Xiaofu will have dinner here tonight. You stay and eat together."

Mrs. Ma responded, and hurried out to the backyard.

Seeing Mrs. Ma going out, Xu Xiaofu sat on a small bench and drank a bowl of cold water, "Mother, what is Auntie doing here? Didn't she come here to complain again?"

Mrs. Wang sighed, "What else can I do? Just say that her family's life is so miserable, that her eldest son is in his thirties and can only learn carpentry like your uncle, and can't earn a few dollars a month. Said that Erlang of her family eats too much and is lazy all day long, and does not go to work, and that her three daughters are all fifteen years old, and they are not married yet."

Xu Xiaofu was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Auntie will not say that she hopes her two sons will go to our restaurant to help, and she doesn't need to be a shopkeeper or something, just help with grocery shopping and so on. Then she also said that she hopes I can help her little girl find a good marriage, can't I?"

Wang exclaimed, "I really guessed right for you. After all, I hope that your two cousins ​​can go to the restaurant to do some lucrative business. I hope you can find a good marriage for your cousin. It is best It's from a wealthy family or something. Hey, your eldest aunt is really real, and now she knows not to play tricks, so she cried poorly and talked about what it was all about..."

Xu Xiaofu smiled and said: "Mother, you don't have to worry about it, just tell Auntie that the restaurant is my decision."

Wang Shi nodded, "That's right, I told her all about it, no, knowing you're back, I'm going to stay here even more, and she'll come to cry with you later, don't be angry now that you're pregnant, you understand?"

Xu Xiaofu nodded, "Don't worry, I won't be angry."

Just as he was talking, Ma Shi's voice came from outside, "My brother and sister, I have picked the cucumbers and beans, let's put them by the well, and I will wash them later."

Mrs. Wang replied: "Okay, thank you sister-in-law." Then she turned her head and said to Xu Xiaofu: "Xiaofu, you go out, I will guard here, and I can cook later. By the way, are you Come back and ask your sister-in-law to go back to her mother's house to make sour plums? I will tell your sister-in-law later. All right, you should go out quickly."

Xu Xiaofu came to the yard just now, Shan Cha and Zhao Xiaolan were playing with a child in their arms, while He Hua sat obediently beside him.Ma Shi was squatting in the well washing cucumbers and picking beans, Xu Xiaofu also moved a small bench and sat over to help.Seeing Xu Xiaofu, Mrs. Ma smiled and said: "Xiaofu, can I ask you to do something?"

While picking beans, Xu Xiaofu said, "Auntie, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Ma chuckled twice, "I told your mother several times, but she said that the restaurant is yours... Actually, it's not a big deal, but you want your hall brother to be your second brother." My cousin is looking for a job in a restaurant. You also know that your first cousin can’t make much money working as a carpenter with your uncle, and your second cousin has nothing to do. He just idles around at home all day. By the way, if you can , ask your sister-in-law in the lobby and the second sister-in-law to help wash the dishes and vegetables, and you can just pay some wages."

Xu Xiaofu nodded, "Sure, Auntie, it just so happens that there are not enough people in the two restaurants, if the big hall brother and the second cousin don't dislike it, let them serve a plate in front, and if the big hall sister-in-law and the second cousin sister-in-law talk, let them They just help wash the vegetables and wash the dishes, and the monthly salary is the same as that of the restaurant, one tael of silver a month, and there will be bonuses for good performance." The restaurant is really short of people, let the cousin and sister-in-law It is still possible for them to help some small workers, but if they want to do something to make money as Wang said, Xu Xiaofu will not pay attention to them.And since Xu Xiaofu dared to ask them to help in the restaurant, he was not afraid of their mischief.

Mrs. Ma's face was a bit ugly, "Xiaofu, that's your second cousin in the lobby, you have the nerve to let them be the waiter in the shop. Xiaofu, let me tell you, the food and ingredients in your restaurant are all about money. Don’t leave it to outsiders, or let your big brother and second cousin do the procurement in the two restaurants? We are all relatives, so don’t worry, right?”

Xu Xiaofu raised his head and glanced at Mrs. Ma, and said with a smile: "Auntie, this matter can't be done. He's done a good job, so he can't be dismissed, right?"

Mrs. Ma got excited, thinking that he could persuade Xu Xiaofu, "Why not, you are the owner of the restaurant, and wanting to quit them is just a matter of one word, Xiaofu, you have to listen to me about this matter."

Xu Xiaofu stopped teasing Mrs. Ma, and said with a smile: "Auntie, actually, purchasing is really not profitable, and I will check the accounts every day. In addition, I plan to grow vegetables and poultry for the restaurant Yes, so if you really want the first cousin and the second cousin to work, wait a few months until I make a plan and let them go to the farm to help." Go to the farm to help grow poultry!
Ma Shi was stunned, "So that's the case, then can the farm you mentioned make money, if it can make money, I will let them go."

Xu Xiaofu nodded, "It's definitely possible, it's harder than working in a restaurant, and I still have a monthly payment of two taels of silver."

Mrs. Ma felt a little dissatisfied, thinking about the life of his younger siblings and his family, it was a prosperous life, and Xiaofu could marry the general.But as for my own family, the old man is not up to the mark, the big man and Erlang are not up to the mark, and the daughter is fifteen years old, but I can't find a good family.In fact, some people saw that they and Xu Xiaofu were relatives, so many people came to propose marriage. To be honest, the conditions were good. In the past, it was also a life of enjoyment, without doing anything.In the end, Mrs. Ma was not happy, and hoped that her daughter would marry into a big family like Xu Xiaofu.
