Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 65 I've Already Eaten Outside

"Of course it's for you. Stop standing there and take a look to see if you like it."

When Li Guoqiang saw Xu Dani's look of disbelief, a trace of heartache flashed across his eyes, and then he hurriedly stuffed the small mirror and small comb into Xu Dani's hands.

Xu Dani tightly grasped the small mirror and comb, and then looked at the little face in the mirror that seemed somewhat familiar yet very unfamiliar, and her eyes were suddenly filled with tears.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

Li Guoqiang was slightly stunned when he saw this, then he asked hurriedly.

"This is the first time I've seen what I look like so clearly. Before, I would always lie on top of a water tank and look at my reflection in the water!"

Xu Dani answered incoherently while sobbing.

Hearing her words, Qu Yinfeng, who was standing beside her, instantly had tears in her eyes, and Li Guoqiang couldn't help but feel a little sour in his nose.

Coming from the Internet age, he simply could not imagine that a six-year-old child did not even know what he looked like.

At this time, Qu Yinfeng also opened her mouth to explain softly.

"In fact, we had a big mirror at home a few years ago, but we needed money urgently, so we took it to the market and sold it."

Hearing that the mirror could be sold for money, Xu Dani seemed to realize something, and quickly stopped crying and asked, "Brother, is this mirror very expensive? Now I can see what I look like, why don't you take it back and sell it!"

After saying that, she wanted to stuff the mirror back to Li Guoqiang.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang no longer cared to be sad. He waved his hand and said, "It's not expensive. This mirror is not expensive at all. The money I spent on it is not even as much as the White Rabbit candy I gave you before!"

"Really?"

Xu Dani blinked her big eyes with a hint of joy in her eyes.

"real!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, then said seriously: "When have you ever lied to me?"

When Xu Dani heard Li Guoqiang say it so confidently, the naive girl smiled all of a sudden and held the small mirror tightly in her hand again.

Only Qu Yinfeng knew that Li Guoqiang was just coaxing the child.

Although she didn't know how much Li Guoqiang spent on this small mirror, she could tell with her toes that this small mirror must be much more valuable than a White Rabbit milk candy.

However, compared to this small mirror, she was more curious about what was in those small wine jars that Li Guoqiang bought.

They can't all be casual bars?
When Li Guoqiang saw Qu Yinfeng's gaze, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then he immediately untied the small hemp ropes tied on the small wine jars, and placed them one by one in front of Qu Yinfeng, and motioned her to open them and have a look herself.

Seeing this, Qu Yinfeng did not bother to be polite with Li Guoqiang. She just squatted on the ground and peeled off the oil paper sealing the mouth of the wine jars one by one.

When she saw the four jars in front of her filled with salt, vinegar, soy sauce and liquor, she was a little surprised in her heart, but she appeared to be relatively calm on the surface.

However, when she saw the contents of the two wine jars at the back, she couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

“This is sugar!!!”

"This is. This is peanut oil!!!"

"Where did you buy all these goodies? Just this jar of peanut oil is enough for our family to eat for half a year."

"And this sugar! I've lived for most of my life, and I've never seen so much sugar put together!"

Li Guoqiang looked at Qu Yinfeng's excited expression and felt a little happy in his heart. Then he hurriedly handed over the bag of extremely expensive spices.

Qu Yinfeng opened the oil paper bag and saw all kinds of spices inside. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at Li Guoqiang, a foodie. Li Guoqiang smiled and immediately handed the oil paper bag containing pork to Qu Yinfeng.

When Qu Yinfeng opened the oil paper package and saw the piece of pork weighing five pounds, she was stunned for a moment.

Then, Xu Dani shouted excitedly, "Meat, grandma, this is meat!"

It looked like Xiong Er saw honey.

"Hush! You silly girl, are you trying to get yourself killed by shouting so loudly?"

When Qu Yinfeng heard Xu Dani's voice, she was immediately startled and hurriedly started to scold her.

Then, she looked at Li Guoqiang seriously and asked, "Qiangzi, where did you get all this meat?"

"Don't worry, Auntie. I bought all this meat, sugar, and peanut oil at the market with my national food coupons, which I exchanged for meat coupons, sugar coupons, and oil coupons. Then I went to the county town and paid for them!"

Li Guoqiang's expression straightened, and then he began to explain calmly.

After hearing his answer, Qu Yinfeng was silent for a while, then she couldn't help but said with some worry, "I think you are really brave. This is your first time going to the fair, and you dare to exchange tickets with others. What if you get caught?"

"Mom, I."

Li Guoqiang was about to speak to assure that nothing would happen, but he was immediately interrupted by Qu Yinfeng.

"Okay, you don't need to explain so much to me. You are an adult now. I believe you should know what you can and cannot do. If you want to exchange tickets with others in the future, just tell me and let me do it. This way, even if I am caught, I will be locked up for a few days at most."

After saying that, she quickly wrapped the piece of pork again.

When Li Guoqiang heard these words, he instantly felt warm in his heart.

Originally, he just hoped that Qu Yinfeng would approve of his exchanging tickets with others because he had bought so many supplies for the family. However, he didn't expect that Qu Yinfeng not only agreed, but also offered to take the risk for him.

At this moment, he was really moved.

Afterwards, under Qu Yinfeng's management, the frozen persimmons, frozen pears, sweet sugarcane, cabbage, radish, pickled mustard greens, pickled radish tops, dried beans and other things were quickly put away in their respective categories.

Li Guoqiang also took out the three strings of candied haws and gave them to Xu Dani, Qu Yinfeng and Xu Guangshan respectively.

Qu Yinfeng and Xu Guangshan were about to refuse when he pushed back with the words "Don't be so polite to family members".

Then, Xu Dani saw that Li Guoqiang didn’t have any candied haws, and immediately wanted to share half with him, but he responded without even thinking.

“I’ve already eaten outside!”

After saying this, he was slightly stunned, and then suddenly thought of his parents who were far away in Beijing.

When Xu Dani heard that Li Guoqiang had already eaten outside, she didn't think much about it and soon immersed herself in the deliciousness of the candied haws.

Suddenly, heavy snow began to fall outside the house.

Qu Yinfeng stood at the door and looked at the wind direction. She found that her home was located downwind, so she immediately cut more than two kilograms of pork and used the various seasonings bought by Li Guoqiang to make braised pork.

Soon, the room was filled with the very tempting aroma of meat.

In order to go with the delicious braised pork, Li Guoqiang decided to cook a pot of rice without even thinking about it.

Since Xu Dani was still on the kang accompanying Xu Guangshan to taste candied haws, he did not call Xu Dani for help. He quickly washed the rice and put it into the pot, then added some firewood to the stove and started cooking.

Not long after, he suddenly received a reminder from Jin Dad in his mind, saying that he could receive an extra ten pots of rice and asked him if he wanted to distribute the rice to the storage space now, which immediately confused him.

Can you still play like this?
