Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 53
As soon as the word "qian" was mentioned, Su Qian could stop immediately no matter whether he was scolding or teaching the younger generation.

This time is no exception.

Su Youli said that the money from selling tofu was used to help others. She didn't care if it was a lie or not, otherwise she could go to the street and ask to understand, but it didn't matter to her at all. If the house pulls out the money, it will be done.

Therefore, Su Qian's complexion softened a little, and seeing Zhou's look of being anxious, he became angry again, "Speak up if you have something to say, you might think I'm begging you!"

Zhou's face froze, and that smile seemed a little defeated, "Mother, look at what you said, they..."

It wasn't until the main room was free that Zhou lowered his voice, "Mother, you said that the Chinese New Year is coming soon. During the Chinese New Year, you must greet relatives, so we have to have dinner together..."

"Eat, eat, eat, you lazy woman who steals and plays tricks!" Su Qian's temper was indeed a little anxious.

Mrs. Zhou has always been thick-skinned, and Mrs. Su Qian scolded her not really, and continued, "Mother, this matter of greeting relatives used to be... if this year, let the third sister-in-law do it... Naturally... Otherwise, dad..."

The voice gradually became inaudible.

But Su Qian's eyes sparkled brightly.

This idea is really good, she snorted coldly, "Didn't her natal family have money, hum!"

Mrs. Li and Banxia naturally don't know what Su Qian's plan is.

In Li's view, as long as a few children are happy, she has never suffered so much in the past few months, but she has never lived so freely now. It would be great if the family could be separated.

As soon as the thought came out, she felt that something was wrong. How could she think so, but she couldn't suppress the thought in her heart. It took root in her heart and kept sprouting. She gradually thought about what to do in the future. If he could really be the master of the house, no one would dare to say send Yuan Chen or anyone else away, and Yuan Guang would not have to go to collect firewood all day long. What should be done for an eleven or twelve-year-old child who is tired and injured...

"Mother, find a sieve!" Ban Xia was busy there.

Only then did Li Shi come to his senses, and hurriedly took out a sieve, Pinellia seemed to be fine, poured cassava flour on it, and Li Shi shook the sieve, layers of fine powder fell into the water.

Ban Xia tried desperately to recall in her heart, but she couldn't remember any procedures, and could only take one step at a time.

The powder sun-dried into the wooden basin slowly seeped down, and the water surface became cloudy.

Gu Ya'er was sitting there with a small bench, and her saliva gradually came out, "Mother, do you want to make glutinous rice cakes?" Her small eyes were shining, and she touched Yuanchen's arm, "I'll share more with you later. you."

Ban Xia coughed twice, "This is not edible!"

Gu Ya'er lowered her head, as if she didn't hear it.

Then, seeing Pinellia adding peppercorns to it, the taste became a bit unpleasant, so she asked again, "Could it be to make rice paste?"

When there was something wrong with the smell, she muttered and dragged Yuanchen to look for mint.

Seeing Gu Ya'er's pampering expression, Li Shi made Ban Xia feel a little emotional, "Mother, you are not afraid that Gu Ya'er won't lose weight when she grows up!"

"What are you afraid of? Who wouldn't say that Gu Ya is lucky when she goes out? She is careless and still young."

It's good not to worry, Banxia saw the cooked paste, still a little unsure, "Mother, quickly take out the stuff you paste the soles of your shoes for a try!"

Mrs. Li glared at her angrily, "Look at you, you are also a big girl, what do you look like, after you spoiled your aunt's things, you started to spoil the soles of the shoes, this is not going to work, you go try the wall. "

This is true, the walls in the house are all plastered with mud, and if some places fall off, it will look very dirty. Mrs. Li knows how to live, so she used that paper to paste it on the side.

Ban Xia saw that the paper was a bit brittle, and the handwriting was indeed good, so it can be seen that Uncle Wu usually used it. It’s almost the Chinese New Year, and I don’t know how he is outside. He rebelled against him because of Yuan Chen’s matter. And those who go out, Pinellia often pray in the bottom of my heart.

I didn't think much about it at the moment, I tied a few straws into a small ball, brushed it up with the paste, pressed it a few times with my hand, and blew it again, it looked... not bad!

Sitting on the bed without saying a word.

I quickly calculated in my heart that the cassava flour I used just now is probably not enough for a catty, and this catty can probably make such a big pot. What if I put it in a bowl and sell it?One penny and one share, it is estimated that no one will care about it during the Chinese New Year, and the poor farmers also have to celebrate the New Year.

What's more, there are people in the town who need to use the soles of their shoes for everything on weekdays.

This stickiness is very good, and there is no need to spend time to boil it, but I don’t know if it will turn rancid...

Mrs. Li didn't see Banxia move for a long while, so she went over by herself and pulled it with her hands, "Banxia, ​​this stuff is better than boiled rice! Now our family can save some food!"

Farmers always have special feelings for food.

Ban Xia was very happy, this is not a matter of saving a few grains, she can't keep these things from Li Shi, so she teased her, "Mother, let me tell you something."

"Say something."

Ban Xia swallowed, and didn't know where to start talking, just stared at the wall in a daze, and then said after a while, "Mother, I want to sell this thing outside, so that our family can have some money."

Ban Xia bites the word "us" very hard.

Mrs. Li seemed to understand a little bit, but she was still a little entangled, "Once your father finds out about this matter, you will definitely not agree to it. Then you will work harder in Banxia, ​​and the money you earn...is not ours."

Ban Xia sighed, Li still didn't think about that, and her attitude was wavering, what Ban Xia wants now is to win Li's support, "Mother, it's not what I think in my heart, look at it Isn’t it the most difficult thing for us and the second aunt? The eldest uncle can eat pigs and chickens, but is that enough for the eldest brother to study? Dad and you are not selling tofu every day. What kind of life do we live in the end? What's more, what happened last time, they wanted to pay us back, but we haven't separated yet, why? They don't treat us as a family at all!"

Li opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word of rebuttal. What Banxia said was exactly what she thought in her heart but couldn't say it all the time.

What position does she have to blame Banxia, ​​and she feels that she is useless, which makes Banxia need to worry about her family so much.

"Then... what are you going to do? You can't hide anything from this."

This is really bad.

Li Shi said this, which shows that she has no objection. At this stage, Banxia feels that this is the limit of her acceptance. If there is one, there will be two. After that, I will slowly tell her about the cassava that I sold before, and the one that I plan to buy. land.

Ban Xia smiled brightly, "Mother, you don't have to worry about these things, I have a solution!"
