Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 14
Recently Du Xiaoyu began to think about what tofu does. Seeing that the weather has turned cold and the tofu can be kept, it's time to try it out. (I’m talking about dried tofu here. Some people have already raised their opinions, but I can’t change it when it comes to the next few chapters. Please bear with me. I will use my dried tofu method, thank you.)
There are also a lot of soybeans at home. Mrs. Zhao often use them to stir-fry or stew until softened and put them together with pickled melons to make pickles. Add some noodles in the morning, and it is also good to eat with rice porridge.Du Xiaoyu once told Mrs. Zhao that she wanted to eat tofu, and when she saw something for sale at the market, Mrs. Zhao used a stone mill to crush the soybeans, added brine to the soy milk, and finally made tofu. It's just that the whole family didn't catch a cold, and only Du Xiaoyu ate a few pieces. No wonder they never saw tofu on the table, so they didn't like it.

It seems that she had to do it secretly by herself. Anyway, soybeans are not worth much, but the stone mill is a bit heavy, and it is tiring to push it.

Today, while Mrs. Zhao was busy with work and Du Huanghua was washing her hair, she took the soaked soybeans and prepared to grind them. Unexpectedly, when she was about to push them, a laugh behind her made her jump up in fright.Looking back, it was Du Wenyuan. I don't know when he came. Today, the private school is on vacation for a day. I thought he was reading.

Du Xiaoyu curled her lips, "Like a cat, it's scary!"

Du Wenyuan saw that she was only a little taller than Shimo, and she was messing with this, so he laughed, "What are you afraid of? A guilty conscience?"

"Do it, what kind of thief?" Du Xiaoyu was a little flustered, and then thought about what's wrong with playing with the stone mill as a child, and immediately regained his composure, "I think this is fun, I saw Niangtui last time Then it grinds out white bean juice, it smells so good, I want to try it too.” Then she pushed it, but the stone mill was really too heavy, and her arms were sore after pushing it twice.

Du Wenyuan leaned on the wooden pillar and looked at her. Now talking to this sister is effortless, and sometimes he will respond in surprise, but Du Xiaoyu was clearly a person who couldn't even understand his words before, and These are not the strangest thing, the strangest thing is that he taught so many things, she learned so fast, and he claimed to be smart, but when he was seven years old, he asked himself that he didn't have such concentration.

Facts have proved that her whole person has changed, and he can't help but think of the scene of her secretly reading the book again. She clearly understands it, but why does she hide it?
"Second brother, don't you see that I can't push?" Du Xiaoyu panted, and looked at Du Wenyuan sadly.

He couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand to help push the stone mill.

After a while, the bean juice filled a large wooden basin, Du Xiaoyu hurriedly told him to stop, this was enough for experimentation.

"To make tofu?" Du Wenyuan asked.

Du Xiaoyu didn't know how to answer, so she scratched her head and pretended to be dumb, waiting for Du Wenyuan to leave.

Unexpectedly, someone came at this time, Aunt Wu's voice sounded at the gate of the courtyard, "Is Miss Zhao at home? There is a distinguished guest!"

VIP?

Du Xiaoyu became curious, and rushed over, but she was stunned when she saw it. Aunt Wu was leading two people behind her, one of them was the Zhu family she met in the market last time, and the other man she didn't need. Guess who it is, it looks eighty percent like Zhu's, with a helpless expression, holding two bags of things in his hand.

It must be Master Liu!
How did they come?Du Xiaoyu frowned tightly, feeling very bad in her heart.

In ancient times, teachers were respected. Under normal circumstances, the master would not take the initiative to come to the student's house unless the student invited him, but Master Liu even came to the door with a gift!Isn't it weird to lower your status like this?

"Xiaoyu, where's your mother?" Aunt Wu waved at her and asked with a smile.

Du Wenyuan also came over, and was surprised to see Mrs. Liu there, so he hurriedly bowed and greeted them, and asked Du Xiaoyu to tell Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao almost dropped the wooden bucket in her hand, and murmured, why is Mr. Liu here? I remember that four years ago, Du Wenyuan invited Mr. Liu to his house for a meal on the first day he went to the private school, but he never came after inviting him again No, I didn't expect to come to the door today. She hurriedly dried her hands and found out the tea leaves and poured three bowls of tea. She ordered Du Xiaoyu to ask Du Huanghua to make some snacks for the guests. After that, he went out with tea.

Soon I heard her warm greeting, "Oh, my house is really flourishing today..."

Du Xiaoyu twitched the corner of her mouth, shook her head and went to find her eldest sister.

Mrs. Zhu asked Mrs. Liu to put the things on the table, and said with a smile, "I met your yellow flower and Xiaoyu last time. I didn't expect to grow so big, and the yellow flower is also beautiful." See, Wen Yuan of your family is studying in our house again, and Aunt Wu often mentions it to me, it's better to come and go."

Mrs. Zhao looked at the two bags of things, shook her hands and said, "How can this be? Mr. Liu has already waived half of Wen Yuan's tuition fees. Let's not be so grateful, and we don't have the shame to take more things!"

Mrs. Zhu laughed and said, "I'm older than you, call me big sister, we don't have to be so unfamiliar, this thing is not for you, I look at Huang Hua very pleasing to the eye, and it is fate to meet her, can you Do you want to send something? It’s not that I’m an elder? Don’t push around, just accept it, and our two families may get closer in the future.”

What he said made Mrs. Zhao's heart thump. Is this thing for Huang Hua?He glanced at Aunt Wu.

Aunt Wu winked at her, "Sister Zhu came to my house before and brought something for the two children, she is generous, you can accept it if you want."

Mrs. Zhu raised her eyebrows and was a little displeased, but she didn't speak immediately.

Mrs. Liu was even more embarrassed in this atmosphere. He was forced to come here by his mother, and he was at his student's house, so he pretended that he had something to tell Du Wenyuan and asked him to take him out.

At this time, Du Xiaoyu was doing Du Huanghua's hair with a towel. She had just washed her hair, so she was so wet that she couldn't go out to meet guests like this.

"How did Master Liu come?" Du Huanghua also had this question.

Thinking of Zhu's actions, Du Xiaoyu suddenly said, "Sister, don't go there for a while, I'll make the dessert." Why not bake some egg pancakes or something, she learned after watching too much.

Du Huanghua gave her a sideways look. It's not much higher than the earthen stove, can it make pancakes?I couldn't help laughing and said, "That will have to wait for you for a few years. Besides, I am the eldest sister, can I not go out? It's not ridiculous. That's the teacher of the second brother. Let's treat him well. I have to prepare dinner later , Hey, there is no meat at home, I don’t know if Uncle Da Da’s house has cured bacon.”

Du Xiaoyu had no choice, knowing that it was impossible to stop her, so she sighed silently.

After twisting her hair and drying her hair, Du Huanghua felt that she couldn't be rude to others, so she planned to change into cleaner clothes, so she went out of the hut to get the clothes drying in the yard, but it turned out that Du Wenyuan brought Mrs. Liu over.

When the four of them met, Du Xiaoyu saw Mrs. Liu's eyes straightened, and hurriedly took a look at Du Huanghua.

At the moment, her long black hair is hanging behind her back, and the collar of her jacket is wet, and it has been unbuttoned a little to reveal her fair neck, but there is a tube top inside, which is not a big deal, but this compelling youthful atmosphere is hard to hide , like a pure white pear blossom blooming on the branches, coupled with the shameful red cloud flying over the cheeks, it is indescribably attractive.

Du Xiaoyu was so anxious that he stepped up and stood in front of Du Huanghua, shouting, "Do not look at evil, Mr. Liu, why don't you turn around!"

Master Liu blushed, took two steps back, bowed his head and said, "Offended, offended."

Du Huanghua hurried back to the room.

"Little fish, I brought Mrs. Liu here." Du Wenyuan knew that Mrs. Liu could not be blamed, and he also did not expect the eldest sister to come out in such a state.

Du Xiaoyu rolled his eyes at him, turned and left.

Seeing this, Master Liu rubbed his hands, "This, this..."

Du Wenyuan said apologetically, "My little sister is not polite, please don't take it to heart."

When eating at night, Du Huanghua was not much, she was very generous. On the contrary, Mrs. Liu was coy, spoke a few words intermittently, and looked at Du Huanghua from time to time. What made Du Xiaoyu speechless was, Still blushing!Seeing this situation, Mrs. Zhu was elated, and kept praising Du Huanghua, wishing to clarify everything.

It was Aunt Wu who took care of the overall situation and stopped a few words in a timely manner, which did not cause embarrassment.

When sending it out, Mrs. Zhu was still talking about the relationship between the two families, and Mrs. Zhao didn't express her position too clearly. She must have respected Master Liu's family at first, but when Du Huanghua was involved, it was different, and her attitude was also different. become more ambiguous.

When things got to this point, how could Du Huanghua not notice, her face seemed to be covered with dust.

Mrs. Zhao went back to the house and closed the door, sat next to Du Xian and said, "You see, Mrs. Zhu wants to ask Huang Hua to be his daughter-in-law!"

Du Xian realized it later, and was shocked when he heard it, "Isn't it?"

"Where is it wrong? Hey, you elm lump!" Zhao poked his finger on his forehead, "I wondered why you came to our house properly, and brought something with you. Master Liu is Wen Yuan's teacher. How can you be so polite! Didn't you find the news that Mrs. Zhu is forcing Mrs. Liu to find a wife? Didn't you expect to be a prostitute in the market."

Du Xian shook his head subconsciously, "It won't work, Mr. Liu will be thirty, twice as old as Huang Hua!"

"I also think it's a bit too big, and it doesn't look good enough for us." Zhao sighed.

Du Xian frowned, and smacked his mouth twice, "But if I can't say it directly, I'm afraid I will offend Mrs. Liu's wife. They gave a lot of face and came to the door in person... Wen Yuan was studying at Mrs. Liu's again. There is no better teacher in Dongcun than Master Liu!"

Mrs. Zhao nodded, "Yes, I still have to talk to Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Zhu seems to know her very well. If she hadn't interjected a few words today, wouldn't it have forced us to express our views in public? Mrs. Zhu is also impatient. You have to think carefully about the lifelong affairs of your children, and I think she came here because of her identity as Mrs. Liu."

"Well, you can go and talk to Mrs. Wu tomorrow, and you can't delay this matter."

The two said that they didn't go to bed until midnight, and Du Xiaoyu didn't sleep well, because Du Huanghua's tossing and turning made her heart even more disturbed.
