Chapter 426 Tofu Apricot Blossom

Huang Yulian thought so deeply, and after thinking about it for a while, she was also absent-minded about doing business.

Lin Liqing looked at the sky, it was getting late, and the couple had to rush back to the city. When Yan Jianjun heard that they were leaving, he immediately said, "I'll take you back by tricycle."

"No need! Jianguo can take Liqing back by bike, and we'll ride a bike back at night." Huang Yulian didn't give Yan Jianjun a chance to sneak away.

Yan Jianjun suddenly looked like a concubine, and he was listless, Huang Yulian didn't care, but if he neglected the guests, Huang Yulian would definitely cut him off. As a result, the couple had a lot of quarrels throughout the day, and the whole business was not as good as usual.

Huang Yulian held her breath, and went to open the shop the next day and didn't talk to Yan Jianjun, let alone call him.

Yan Jianjun was at ease, and continued to go to the village to make tea leisurely, but Huang Yulian did not come back when it was dark. He waited for a long time, only Yan Mingqiang and Yan Qiaoqiao came back, and hurriedly asked: "Where is your mother?"

Yan Qiaoqiao replied: "Mom said she will stay in the store and won't come back. Let Dad live by himself. Dad, is the meal ready? We're hungry."

Yan Jianjun's heart was blown away in an instant. He thought Huang Yulian was just as thunderous and rainy as usual, and she lost his temper with him. He didn't expect it to be real this time. He hurriedly pushed his bicycle and hurried out. Before leaving, he told his brothers and sisters: "I just cooked the porridge and didn't cook, so you can deal with it casually. I'll persuade your mother to come back first."

Yan Mingqiang hurriedly stopped him, "Dad! It's getting dark, and you can't see the way out at this time. If you have to go out, I'll go with you and bring the flashlight."

Yan Jianjun waved his hand, "You stay at home and look after your sister, I'll go first."

Yan Jianjun rode his bicycle almost by feeling. He didn't dare to speed up until there was a street light at the intersection. It was almost eight o'clock when he arrived in the town.

There is no night market at this moment. When it gets dark, there are almost no people on the street, no matter whether it is a village or a town, it is the same. Only restaurants and some roadside stalls have been confiscated.

He bought a few fried cakes on the side of the road and sent them to the clothing store, but he was shut down. He couldn't see what was going on inside the store after it was closed, so he could only keep knocking on the door, "Yulian, Yulian, you Open the door and I'll take you home."

Huang Yulian, who was laying the floor in the store, ignored Yan Jianjun at all, turned over and closed her eyes.

Yan Jianjun knocked for a long time, attracting all the people who lived nearby, but Huang Yulian didn't open the door, his eyes were red with anxiety, and he choked up and said, "Yulian, I know I was wrong, I will definitely help you from tomorrow. You look at the store, don’t be lazy anymore, you open the door.”

A big man came over late at night to admit his mistake, and begged in a low voice. Others felt soft-hearted and persuaded him.

There was a lot of noise outside, how could Huang Yulian in the store not be able to hear, she was so annoyed that she opened the door and rushed over, with the roar of the east lion, "What's the noise! ​​Now that I know I'm wrong, why did I go early! Get out of here, shame on me!"

Yan Jianjun immediately put away his tears, and sneaked in through the crack of the door.

Grandma Wu, who lived in the alley at the back, saw that it was all right, so she smiled and said, "Okay, the husband and wife quarreled at the end of the bed, it's okay, everyone should leave!"

Huang Yulian heard the movement just now clearly, and knew that Grandma Wu was really worried about the two of them breaking up, so she never dared to go back. Feeling sorry, she hurriedly opened the door and called Grandma Wu, "Aunt Wu, it's my fault Don't worry, it will affect everyone's rest at night, this is the fried cake he just bought, you take some back to eat."

Grandma Wu didn't want to say anything, "You guys keep it for yourselves, I've finished my dinner and I'm going to bed."

Huang Yulian didn't dare to let Grandma Wu walk back in the dark, so she hurriedly called Yan Jianjun to use a flashlight and sent Grandma Wu back together.

When it got dark in the alley, it was as if it was stained with thick ink. You couldn't see your fingers, and it was terribly quiet. Grandma Wu's house was in the back of the alley, and she lived alone, so Huang Yulian was so worried.

The two sent Grandma Wu into the house, and found that Grandma Wu lived in a very small place. It should be a house separated from the inside and outside. The outside is for eating and the inside for sleeping.

Aunt Wu knew that Huang Yulian and her husband were curious, so she explained: "My house is an old house, and it's the same as the next door. After the in-laws passed away, I divided this room. After the children get married, they build their own house and don't live here."

"Do they live far away?"

Because Granny Wu's situation is very similar to that of Liu Cuifeng, Yan Jianjun also took care of it.

Grandma Wu laughed and said, "It's not far, it's on the other side of the street. My son and daughter-in-law are also setting up stalls in the market. One sells vegetables and the other sells meat. The meat and vegetables I usually eat are all sent by them. But they are busy, they come and go, I am old and my eyesight is blurred, so I can’t help them, taking care of myself is helping.”

Grandma Wu babbled on a lot, maybe because no one usually talks to her, but two people rarely came, so that's a lot.

Huang Yulian took the opportunity to inquire about Tofu Xinghua, "Auntie, do you know the mother and daughter who sell tofu in the vegetable market?"

Grandma Wu was a little surprised, "You are asking Xinghua and her daughter Xiaowei, right?"

Huang Yulian nodded vigorously.

Grandma Wu was delighted, "Then you are asking the right person. When I go to the vegetable market, I buy tofu instead of anything else. Everyone loves tofu made from apricot blossoms."

Huang Yulian frowned, "Is it really that good? How could the tofu I bought for her at the beginning of the year be bad? It tastes so good."

"Ah? I can't! Xinghua is not that kind of person." Auntie Wu naturally didn't think that Huang Yulian slandered Xinghua, but began to think about the reason. After thinking for a while, she patted her thigh and asked, "What do you mean?" Is it not long before Chinese New Year at the beginning of the year?"

Huang Yulian nodded.

Grandma Wu sighed, "Sin! I will explain to her that Xinghua's life is not good. She lost a man at a young age and gave birth to a daughter, Xiaowei. They are mother and daughter who do all the dirty work in her husband's house." made.

The Cai family’s ancestors made tofu for generations, and they are quite famous among them, so the brothers know how to make tofu, and even the married daughter-in-law follows suit. After the Xinghua man is gone, life is difficult, and I have to help make tofu in the middle of the night , but none of the money earned belongs to her.

In this way, her mother-in-law also said that their mother and daughter were idle, and Xinghua had to ask her mother's family to come forward. It was only on her mother-in-law's side that she agreed to set up a stall by herself, but the price was to help her man's brother make tofu. Tell me, she Just one person, how can I be so busy?
Fortunately, she is also a person who can bear hardships, so she should grit her teeth and save some money. At the end of last year, her mother-in-law said that she showed Xiaowei a marriage and wanted Xiaowei to marry. Xinghua asked someone to inquire about it. The family is really not that good, the man has a bad reputation for having broken shoes with the widow, and her mother-in-law just fancy the dowry gift from him.

Xinghua resisted for the first time, but ended up falling out, and the mother and daughter were kicked out, but life is still going on, isn't it?So it was a difficult time, and her regular customers knew her situation, so they told her that it was cold, and it didn’t matter if the tofu couldn’t be sold out, and they could sell it to everyone at a lower price.

Maybe she was also exhausted during that time. When you went to buy tofu, you didn't ask carefully and asked you to buy overnight tofu. Don't worry about her, she is really not easy! "
