The best old woman is too fierce, stepping on her ex-husband and beating up her traitorous son!

Chapter 35: Refuse with words, but be honest with hands
Li Xiaoyue replied with a smile: "The chicken cake I made today is the same. Later I will use milk and almonds to make almond nougat. I will use milk and starch to boil it to make fried milk."

"Lastly, I originally wanted to give away the two blankets I had at home. But when I thought about the fact that Changfu bought them for me with the money he earned from playing in the ring, I couldn't bear to part with them."

"After much thought, I prepared the fourth item and some food. The oven I made at home can bake some bacon biscuits. Dad, I will leave a little more lard for the pig slaughter tomorrow. I want it. use."

Old Man Li nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll give you food for all, and it's novel and it can also show your affection."

On the last day, after several experiments, Li Xiaoyue finally made fried milk and bacon pancakes.

I ordered two food boxes from the village carpenter, which also came in handy at this time.

Wrap various pastries in different oil paper bags to prevent moisture.

Chicken cakes and pancetta were in one box, almond nougat and fried milk in another.

In the early morning, Li Xiaoyue put on a clean brown dress. Most of the wardrobe was filled with clothes of this color.

Li Xiaoyue secretly gritted her teeth and decided to make nice clothes when she was free.

Liu Changhuan wore a suit of water-red clothes. He was 12 years old, the age of tenderness, and wore a double bun.

I haven't been working in the fields recently, so my face has become a bit paler, my facial features are beautiful, and I'm pretty and cute.

It's no wonder that Landlord Zhao named Liu Changhuan and wanted to marry Liu Changhuan in a roundabout way.

There was a shed on the donkey cart. Brother Li and Liu Changfu took turns driving the cart, while Li Xiaoyue and Liu Changhuan sat in the cart.

An hour later, I arrived at the county seat and found Mr. Gongsun at the address he left behind.

Ever since Grandma Cai came back, Madam Gongsun said that Madam Li was reasonable, smart and capable, and that Liu Changhuan was gentle, virtuous, delicate and beautiful, so she began to look forward to Madam Li bringing Liu Changhuan to her house.

There is a son who is unwilling to marry a wife, and the son is busy outside all day long. Only Mrs. Gongsun and the maid are left at home, which is very boring.

Now finally something happens, Mrs. Gongsun has been looking forward to it for a long time!
Mr. Gongsun returned home despite his busy schedule. After all, it was the first time that his adopted daughter came to the door. As an adopted father, he could not be rude.

Seeing her son coming back, Mrs. Gongsun's eyes lit up and she waved to her son, "Son, I heard that Madam Li is about the same age as you. I'll take a closer look later. If you like her, I'll hire a matchmaker!"

In the border area, the folk customs are simple and unrestrained. It has never been said that a woman cannot remarry after a man dies.

However, even if you remarry, you must follow the rules. Marrying to a clear match can gain everyone's approval and blessing.

Mrs. Gongsun grew up in the border area. Even if her son liked Lady Li, she would not object.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Gongsun quickly took two steps back, looking embarrassed, "My dear mother, please don't talk nonsense or offend Mrs. Li."

Mrs. Gongsun was a little disappointed, as if her son didn't have this intention, "Well, hey, you are just too stubborn."

Mr. Gongsun used the gesture of drinking tea to cover up his embarrassment. He could not give birth and did not want to harm the woman.

He only admires Mrs. Li, he really has no other thoughts!

Aunt Cai and Niu Dazhuang were waiting in the concierge.

When Niu Dazhuang saw Li Xiaoyue and Liu Changhuan coming, he walked over quickly with a smile, "Aunt Li, you're here! I haven't eaten your food for a few days, I'm really greedy."

Li Xiaoyue saw the tall and strong Niu Dazhuang and smiled, "Niu Zhuang, when you finish your errands and go to Dongshan, I will specially treat you to the good food I made."

Niu Dazhuang's eyes lit up, "Then I will remember it, Aunt Li, don't forget it."

"I always keep my word." Madam Li said with a smile. She would not be indifferent when meeting an acquaintance.

Aunt Cai stepped forward, bowed slightly and saluted, "Ms. Li, Miss Changhuan. The old lady is waiting!"

"Thank you, Aunt Cai." Li Xiaoyue smiled and followed her to the living room.

When Mrs. Gongsun saw Li Xiaoyue, she was slightly startled. She said she was a woman from the countryside, but she didn't believe it.

Except for her ordinary clothes, her temperament, which is neither humble nor arrogant, is just that of a head wife of a wealthy family. "Greetings to the old lady, Mr. Gongsun." Li Xiaoyue, Liu Changfu and Brother Li saluted.

Liu Changhuan, on the other hand, followed his mother's instructions and said unhurriedly: "Greetings to my grandmother and adoptive father."

"No courtesy." Mrs. Gongsun's eyes fell from Li Xiaoyue to Liu Changhuan, who was half a step behind. She waved and smiled, "Chang Huan, come to grandma's side."

Liu Changhuan was a little nervous, but he mustered up the courage to walk in front of Mrs. Gongsun.

Mrs. Gongsun took a pair of bracelets directly from her wrists and put them on Liu Changhuan's arms. "Since you call me grandma, I have to give you a greeting gift."

Liu Changhuan was stunned and shook his head, "Grandma, it's too precious."

Mr. Gongsun smiled and said, "The elders gave it to me, so I can't refuse it. From now on, the two families will be relatives and move around each other."

Seeing this, Li Xiaoyue persuaded her daughter Liu Changhuan, "Changhuan, take it. Why don't you thank grandma?"

"Thank you, grandma." Liu Changhuan looked a little shy and said sincerely, "My adoptive father saved my life. I will honor my adoptive father and my grandmother in the future."

Mrs. Gongsun likes people who repay kindness, "Good boy, I like you as soon as I see you. We are destined. Come and play often in the future!"

"Yes, Grandma." Liu Changhuan responded, and gradually calmed down under the old lady's kind eyes. "Grandma, our family is a farmer. You come from a wealthy family. No matter what gift we give you, it is not enough. My mother came to visit you for the first time. I made four new snacks to express my feelings."

When Mrs. Li came in, Mr. Gongsun kept looking at the two food boxes that Liu Changfu was carrying.

There is absolutely no way that the things Mrs. Li brought over were things he had seen before. After all, this was his first visit.

"Oh?" Old Madam Gongsun felt happy when she saw Liu Changhuan's magnanimity, "Then I have to give it a try."

Li Xiaoyue was surprised. She used to think that her eldest daughter was timid, but now it seems that is not the case.

But this is fine, if you are submissive and bullied, but you are generous, fierce and strong, you can survive better in a place like the border.

"Can you please Nanny Cai to get four plates and some pairs of chopsticks?" Li Xiaoyue chuckled and looked at Nanny Cai.

Aunt Cai quickly brought four plates and four pairs of chopsticks. She opened the food box and saw two oil paper bags.

Aunt Cai opened the paper bag and put the contents on the plate.

Aunt Cai follows the old lady and is well-informed. She has seen and tried the dim sum in Beijing, but she has never seen the four kinds of pastries in front of her.

Mrs. Gongsun looked surprised. Mr. Gongsun was a sweet tooth, so he picked up a piece of fried milk with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

"It's crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, fragrant with milk, and tastes good. It tastes even better if it's just out of the pot. Mom, you can try it too, don't worry. Miss Li, what is this?"

Li Xiaoyue stepped forward and introduced, "This is called fried milk, followed by almond nougat, chicken cake, and bacon shortbread."

"Except for nougat, these things taste better when they're fresh out of the pot. I'm just busy on the road in the morning, so I can't make them early in the morning. Please forgive me, the old lady and Mr. Gongsun. This is the recipe for making these snacks. , please accept it."

Mr. Gongsun listened to Li Xiaoyue's explanation and ate snacks with joy in his eyes.

It tastes so good that it makes those narrow eyes widen. They are not as solemn and solemn as they are outside.

Fried milk is so delicious!

Chicken cake is better!

You can take a few pieces of this nougat with you. When you can't eat in time and feel dizzy, you can eat one piece.

There is also this salty pork pancake, which is crispy on the outside, and the meat and pickle fillings are mixed together, which is not greasy at all.

"Why are you so embarrassed?" Upon hearing that Li Xiaoyue wrote the prescription, Mr. Gongsun blinked and said he was embarrassed, but his actions were extremely honest and he quickly reached out to take the prescription.

Of course, Mr. Gongsun is not the kind of person who likes to take advantage. He also prepared a generous gift for Liu Changhuan and Lady Li.
