happy life rebirth

Chapter 27

Since Jiang Meiying divorced Xia Tiecheng, it has been a long time since she saw such a cheerful smile on her daughter's face; looking at Xia Xiaohong's bright smiling face, Jiang Meiying felt sore in her heart.

"Xia Xia, do you have any money on you? If not... When you go to the market later, go to Mommy's place to get two dollars and buy some snacks you like." Jiang Meiying thought for a while and stretched out her hand in her I dug out of my purse for a long time, and took out one piece of fifty cents, two pieces of twenty cents and many ten cents; I counted two yuan from it and put it on the stove.

Xia Xiaohong knew that the conditions in her home were very good before, but the savings in the family had been spent almost due to the renovation of the new house; when her unconscionable father divorced his mother, although he said he did not want the house and other things in the family, Things; there was only a small amount of savings left, but Xia Tiecheng forcibly took more than half of it.

One can imagine how difficult it is for Muma to lead her own life. There are not many rich people in the countryside these days; many people's income all year round is to grow some vegetables to sell, or else... it is to raise A pig or ten or twenty chickens and ducks will be sold for money when they grow up.

It's not enough to be hungry, but if you want to have a little more pocket money to buy some luxury goods; that's also very difficult, uh... at least it's absolutely not allowed in Xia Xiaohong's current home.

"Mum, there's no need." Xia Xiaohong shook her head lightly, suppressing the sourness in her heart and showing off her face with a smile, "I'll sell the stinky mandarin buds later and I'll get rich."

Since her rebirth, Xia Xiaohong hasn't eaten meat once; she thought of the stinky mandarin buds she had accumulated for a while, and secretly pondered in her heart; Pork came back to fight the tooth festival.

Jiang Meiying glanced at Xia Xiaohong reproachfully: "You child, how much can you sell for a few stinky mandarin buds; here--this money is given to you by your mother, so you can take it and say so." What more to do?"

What Xia Xiaohong didn't know was...the more she refused to ask for the two yuan, the more uncomfortable Jiang Meiying felt; How come you don't even have two dollars? Look at the street where I live now; who doesn't have three or five cents or one dollar in their purse." Jiang Meiying couldn't help but her eyes were red.

"Mother, don't be sad." Xia Xiaohong saw her mother's eyes turned red because of the two yuan, and she panicked; but her desire to make money to improve her family's life became more and more strong.

Xia Xiaohong came out from the stove door, held the handful of dime money on the stove in her hand and said in a panic, "Mother, don't be sad, can I still take the two dollars?" At the end, Xia Xiaohong's voice unconsciously carried a not-so-obvious crying tone.

"You silly child, Mommy is not sad; it's just that dust fell into her eyes accidentally just now." Seeing Xia Xiaohong's pitiful look of grievance, the person who was anxious this time was replaced by Jiang Meiying; at the end of the conversation, Xia Xiaohong and Jiang Meiying Everyone finds it funny and can't help but look at each other and smile.

After the two yuan incident early in the morning, the relationship between Jiang Meiying and Xia Xiaohong's mother and daughter has made another substantial leap forward; they have become more and more intimate.

"Xia Xia... Xia Xia, have you had breakfast yet?" Yang Ximei walked in with a basket of dried stinky mandarin oranges.

"Sister Man, you're here." Jiang Meiying put down the spatula in her hand and said, "Are you here to ask our family, Xia Xia, to go to the scene together?"

Yang Ximei nodded obediently and said to Jiang Meiying, "Well...Man Niang, where is Xia Xia? Has she had breakfast?"

"Sister Man, I'll light the fire at the door of the stove and you come in by yourself!" Yang Ximei's voice was so loud that Xia Xiaohong who was sitting at the door of the stove couldn't have heard her; she hurriedly said loudly.

Yang Ximei put the basket full of stinky mandarin orange buds in her hand under the eaves of Xia Xiaohong's house, and then walked into the kitchen. The two girls who were about the same age began to talk affectionately.

"Xia Xia, your family hasn't had breakfast yet?" Yang Ximei asked Jiang Meiying, who was cooking.

"Not yet!" Xia Xiaohong said indifferently, it was still early and she was not in a hurry; on the contrary, it was Yang Ximei——Xia Xiaohong remembered that eating at Yang Ximei's house was always quite late, why did she have breakfast at this time today; What a strange thing.

"Sister Man, why did your family eat breakfast so early today?" Xia Xiaohong is a master who can't hide things in her heart, and she and Yang Ximei are best friends; naturally she can say whatever comes to her mind?
When Yang Ximei heard Xia Xiaohong's question, she immediately laughed so proudly: "Hey...Xia Xia, let me tell you! Today my father took his eldest brother and second brother to kill a pig for a family in the next village , my mother went to see my grandma hasn’t come back yet; no—my father gave me five yuan, and he asked me to go to the field to eat rice tofu.”

Rice tofu is a famous snack in Hunan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Hubei regions. It is washed and soaked with rice, ground into rice milk with water and then boiled with alkali; after cooling, it forms a block of "tofu". When eating, cut it into small pieces and put it in cold water. Take it out and put it into a container; put the chopped kohlrabi, salted vegetables, crispy soybeans, crispy peanuts, chopped green onions and other seasonings and soups that suit your personal taste and put them on the rice tofu.

The main raw materials are rice and lime. Rice is preferably indica type of early, middle and late rice; broken rice is also acceptable, but japonica rice and glutinous rice are not, because it is too sticky and difficult to make; lime is preferably fresh lime.

As soon as Xia Xiaohong heard Yang Ximei's words, she immediately understood the reason for this girl's anxiety. A bowl of rice tofu cost only [-] cents; her father actually gave her five yuan. to the happy ones.

Yang Ximei held Xia Xiaohong's arm affectionately and said, "Xia Xia, I'll treat you to the court later—I'll treat you to rice tofu."

"How can that be?" Xia Xiaohong shook her head and refused without thinking.

It's fine if the other party says treat yourself to a popsicle that costs five cents a piece, but this rice tofu costs thirty cents a bowl, which is very expensive; Xia Xiaohong doesn't want to take advantage of such a bargain.

Yang Ximei smiled nonchalantly and said: "That's so strange, who made the two of us good sisters; isn't it just rice tofu for [-] cents? Xia Xia just agreed, and I will treat you to rice tofu later. go."

Xia Xiaohong's refusal was not taken seriously by Yang Ximei at all: "Uh...that's fine!" Xia Xiaohong hesitated for a moment and nodded and said, "Sister Man, I ate glutinous rice at home this morning; you can eat with us later. !"

Yang Ximei opened her mouth to say something?
Xia Xiaohong was the first to speak and said: "Sister Man, you must not speak ill! Otherwise...I won't eat the rice tofu you bought later."

"Haha..." Xia Xiaohong's anxious look made Yang Ximei couldn't help laughing: "Xia Xia, I didn't mean to say no, okay?" Yang Ximei teased Xia Xiaohong: "My family hasn't made glutinous rice for a long time. , I was in a panic; I just had a good fortune today."

"Xia Xia, you brought all the girls out to wash your hands and eat breakfast." Jiang Meiying finished frying the last fried capers with dried chili, took off her apron and scooped a spoonful of water into the pot, calling Xia Xiaohong and Yang Ximei to go out for breakfast together.

"Okay, come here!" Xia Xiaohong gently pushed Yang Ximei: "Let's go, we have to sell stinky mandarin buds after breakfast; if you go early, you don't have to wait in line, and when there are more people, you have to wait in line It's so troublesome for a long team."

"Hmm..." Because this is not the first time that Yang Ximei has eaten at Xia Xiaohong's house. For Yang Ximei, Xia's house is like her second home; The sound was quickly finished.
