Chapter 17 Curious Where Does White Noodles Come From?

"What is this?" Erhuazi couldn't help but bend down.

Before he could untie the sack, his shoulder was held down by a big hand, and his father's voice came from behind him, "I told you not to come in and quarrel with Lingbao, you kid deserves a beating, right?"

Er Huazi turned to his father and asked, "Father, what's in this bag? I've never seen such a bag at home before. I just looked at it strangely."

Jiang Qingshan originally planned to take his second son away, but after hearing his question now, he let out a puzzled "ah" and looked to the ground, "What is this?"

Feeling curious, he didn't think much, and opened the sack before his son.

A smell of flour came over me. The smell was indescribably good, and it made people's hearts flutter, and they couldn't help but smell it a few more times.

"White flour?" Er Huazi was surprised and pleasantly surprised, "Father, this is white flour! This is the first time I smell such fragrant white flour, it smells much better than the flour made from the wheat grown in our village! "

Outside, Shen Su'e and Si Haizi felt strange when they heard his exclamation, "What white noodles?"

"Second brother, what are you talking about? How can there be white flour at home?"

Erhuazi said anxiously: "Mother, Si Haizi, come and take a look, there are two big bags, this white flour looks like fine flour at first glance! Is it rich and strong powder?"

Flour is divided into first, second, and third grades according to quality, which are respectively named Fuqiang brand, Jianjian brand, and production brand. Fuqiang flour is the best flour.

The price of this kind of flour is high, and the taste is good. It is a luxury product, and only people in big cities have the opportunity to eat it.

"This noodle is so delicious!"

After taking a few breaths, Si Haizi looked at his mother, "Mother, where did our family get white flour? Just now you said that there is no food at home."

After listening to the fourth brother, Er Huazi sized up his parents for a while, seeing that their expressions were unnatural, he couldn't help but tighten his brows, and turned to look at Xiao Lingbao on the bed.

"Mother, before that big girl was biting the Lingbao and said that the person who stole it was the Lingbao. Could it be that she wasn't talking nonsense?" Erhuazi asked speculatively, "Could it be that this flour is from the Lingbao?" Stolen from the production team?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his father knocked hard on the back of the head, which made him "ouch" in pain, and hurriedly covered his head.

"What are you talking about? Go to Captain Li and ask, is there any flour in the storage room?"

"Second brother, what you said is really too much! Lingbao is still so small, how could he go to the storage room to steal things? Besides, you said just now that this flour looks like rich and strong powder. Where did we get rich and strong powder in our village?"

Er Huazi rubbed his head, "Yes, yes..."

Fearing that his father would hit him again, he swallowed subconsciously, "Father and mother, you don't even know where this flour came from, so this is too strange, right?"

"What's so strange?" Shen Su'e said, "Your father has been paralyzed for so many years and he can heal. It's just two more bags of fine noodles at home. What's so strange?"

Er Huazi was caught by his mother's words, and felt unreasonable, but it seemed quite reasonable.

Si Haizi sighed, "Mother, I think Lingbao may be a lucky star! You just said that there is no food at home, and there are two bags of flour beside Lingbao."

"I have long said that Lingbao is a lucky star. You said I was superstitious before, but now you believe it? You must love your sister well, do you hear me?"

After Shen Su'e finished speaking, her husband said happily, "Haha, our family has white noodles to eat, so there's no need for Er Huazi to go to the black market to buy food stamps for us tomorrow."

"No! We have to go to the black market, and we have to buy food stamps. Otherwise, people can't explain when they see us eating noodles." Shen Su'e said.

After some discussion, the couple decided to let Er Huazi go to the black market to buy food stamps, and told him, "Remember to buy flour stamps, don't buy rice stamps."

"Ah? Oh..." Erhuazi looked at the two bags of refined noodles, swallowing, "Mother, this one..."

"When you buy the flour tomorrow, in addition to two catties of meat, I'll give you another catty of noodles, okay? But don't tell your wife about the refined noodles, lest she go around talking nonsense, do you hear me?" ?”

Erhuazi knew his daughter-in-law's mouth too well, and immediately responded, "Don't worry, I will definitely not tell her. If she finds out, I don't know what will happen in the village."

When he got home, he told his wife about going to the black market the next day, "My mother promised me that as long as she helped buy white noodles, she would not only give me two catties of meat, but also one catty of noodles. We can eat dog meat during the Chinese New Year." It's covered."

I thought my daughter-in-law would be very happy to hear this, but she sarcastically said, "Your mother is really good at making you do such an errand."

"What's the matter? My mother is very nice. Originally, she wanted my eldest brother to go, but I took the job with all my might." Er Huazi said.

Huang Yuezhu sneered, "Tch! I don't think she regards you and your elder brother as her own sons, and she will become outsiders after the family is separated!"

Saying so, she pulled her husband to her side, "If you get caught buying food stamps, what should I do? I have such a big belly, woo..."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll be fine!"

Huang Yuezhu pretended to cry twice, sniffed, and said, "Two catties of meat and one catty of noodles are too little. According to me, it should be ten catties of meat and five catties of noodles! Go and bargain with your mother again." , ask her to give more."

"The wild dog only weighed about [-] catties after it was skinned, and there wasn't much meat left after the bones were removed. It's not bad to divide it into two catties."

"Your mother would rather raise a poor child than share meat with you. She wants you to do such a dangerous thing. How heartless!"

Hearing that the daughter-in-law was still scolding, Er Huazi hurriedly interrupted: "Okay, don't talk about it, my mother is my mother after all, besides, Lingbao's child is also very good, just looking at it is very lucky, what? Bad boy? Stop scolding people in the future."

"What kind of luck is there? A girl's film!" Huang Yuezhu said disgustedly, "In my village, everyone said that giving birth to a girl is bad for three years. Look at Damei, she gave birth to a big girl. She is really unlucky, and a girl is bad! "

"I think a girl is pretty good too. If the child in your womb is a girl, it will be a word for 'good' with wealth. How good is it?" Er Huazi finished with a smile and touched his wife. belly.

Huang Yuezhu pushed her husband away, "Go, go, don't be crowed, I don't want to have a useless daughter, I just want a son!"

Thinking of Lingbao's cute appearance, her husband couldn't help but said: "I still want a girl, if only she is as aura as Lingbao."

"Can you stop mentioning that girl? Disgusting! Did you go to your parents' place for a visit? Did they give you some kind of ecstasy? Really!"

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was so angry that both eyebrows were furrowed, Erhuazi didn't dare to say anything about liking Lingbao, so he shut his mouth and remained silent.

The next day, he went to his parents' house early to ask his mother for money.

Before dawn, through the courtyard gate, he could faintly smell the fragrance of face wafting out.

In the kitchen, Shen Su'e had already cooked a large pot of noodles. She was afraid of being smelled by other people in the village, so she got up at four o'clock to roll the noodles.

Lingbao followed her mother like a little tail. When she heard the knock on the door, she opened the door and saw her second brother standing outside.

"Lingbao, did you wake up so early?" Er Huazi asked with a smile.

The little milk baby raised her head and said nothing, her light brown and orange eyes turned golden, and saw her second brother's brow lingering with a cloud of black air representing disaster.
