Chu Qiao came closer and saw the little girl's face clearly. She couldn't help but feel pity in her heart, and she also understood why Lulu was so stingy to her.

The little girl's face was pale, and her lips were gray and purple, which were obvious symptoms of heart disease. No wonder she felt weak when she heard An An talking just now. The smell of medicine in the room must have been the medicine An An took.

Lulu works so hard to make money, probably to treat her daughter's illness, but she doesn't know what happened to the child's father. Is he a scumbag or is he dead?

"Auntie, you are so beautiful." An An also saw Chu Qiao's face clearly, her eyes widened. This aunt is more beautiful than the fairy on the calendar.

Chu Qiao couldn't help but smile and praised: "An An is also very beautiful, your eyes are as beautiful as gems."

"Mom said so too."

An An's pale face flushed, and she smiled shyly. Lulu also smiled. Her daughter hadn't smiled so happily for a long time. She was originally worried that Chu Qiao would dislike her, but now she was relieved and grateful.

"Auntie is going home, sleep peacefully." Lulu said.

"Oh, bye uncle and auntie!"

Although An An was reluctant to leave, she was very obedient, waved her hands obediently, closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Lulu walked them to the door and said gratefully: "You should go home and rest early. I'm sorry to bother you."

"It's okay. Remember to apply the ointment, and don't rush to work. If your body collapses, An An will have no one to care about." Chu Qiao advised.

Lulu nodded, "I will ask for leave from Boss Tang and return to work when the injury heals. Thank you."

Gu Ye took out a large amount of money from his pocket and gave it to her. Lulu took a step back and waved her hands repeatedly, "I can't accept the money. I can make money myself."

"It belongs to Boss Ma, just accept it and treat it as your medical expenses." Chu Qiao advised.

Lulu still refused to take it. Chu Qiao became impatient, took the money from Gu Ye's hand, stuffed it into her pocket, and pulled Gu Ye away.

"thank you!"

Lulu's voice came from behind. Chu Qiao smiled and left with Gu Ye without asking about An An. Everyone has their own privacy. If Lulu didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't ask.

But now she has a better impression of Lulu. Although this woman does a disgraceful job, she does it to raise her daughter. An An's illness is a bottomless pit, and no amount of money will be enough to fill it. If Lulu goes to do ordinary work I earn over a hundred yuan a month from my job, but I’m afraid I can’t even afford medicine.

Any mother who works hard for her children deserves respect and should not be looked down upon.

After leaving the alley, Chu Qiao took a long breath of fresh air. Her chest felt tight. She glanced behind her and said with emotion: "A woman is weak by nature, but a mother is strong."

"What just?"

Gu Ye didn't hear clearly and asked. Chu Qiao shook her head, "It's nothing, go home."

She remembered that there seemed to be a heart-protecting medicine among the prescriptions left by her ancestors. She looked back and thought about it to see if she could help An An. This little girl was sensible and smart, and was very annoying. She would just help if she could. .

After returning home, Chu Qiao changed her clothes and fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed. Gu Ye squinted for a while, then got up as usual and took Dabao and Xiaobao to exercise. He bought breakfast and did not wake Chu Qiao up.

When Chu Qiao woke up, it was already afternoon, and Gu Ye was not at home. She patted her head, but she was still dizzy. She didn't sleep at night, and she couldn't make up for it no matter how long she slept during the day. But she couldn't sleep anymore, she had to make dinner, and... I have to study the oven. I promised to make a birthday cake for my coward, so I can’t break my promise.

She disassembled the oven and read the instructions first. They were all in traditional Chinese, which she could probably understand, and the operation was not difficult. She had used the oven frequently in her previous life, so she understood it after just a little reading.

Chu Qiao went out to buy cream. There was a bakery in Shanghai where they could buy cream, and it was very fresh, but the price was a bit high. She bought a lot of cream, as well as cake-making tools, and went home.

There is still an hour left before Dabao and Xiaobao get out of school. Chu Qiao is going to make some cake. She beats five eggs, separates the egg whites, adds sugar to the egg whites, and stirs them in one direction. This is very tiring. There is no egg mixer now, so she can only Relying on manual labor, fortunately Chu Qiao was strong.

After beating the egg whites, beat the egg yolks, mix them together, add flour and stir them into a paste, then bake them in the oven. The method is very simple, but you need to control the heat yourself. Chu Qiao is already very skilled at doing this, no After a while, a cake was baked, and the house was filled with an alluring aroma.

"Xiao Chu, what are you cooking for delicious food?"

Someone asked loudly outside the house, the fragrance is so tempting, several housewives came over and wanted to learn Chu Qiao's new snacks. These days, they have learned many new snacks from Chu Qiao, although they are not as good as Chu Qiao's. Although I didn’t eat much, the children at home really appreciated it, and I saved a lot of money on snacks.

"cake."

Chu Qiao cut a few pieces of cake and gave them to them. She added more eggs and the cake was more delicious than store-bought cakes.

"It's so delicious. It's better than the chicken cake I bought. How did you make this, Xiao Chu?"

After the housewives tasted the cake, they were full of praise. The egg was rich in flavor, softer than the chicken cake they bought, and it melted in the mouth. Not to mention children, even their adults loved it.

"I can't tell, just watch me do it."

Chu Qiao originally planned to make more, so she beat the eggs again, explaining while beating, "This is the most important thing, beat in one direction, don't stop, beat into a foamy shape, well, just like this."

She showed the whipped foamy egg whites to several housewives, and then started to beat the egg yolks. The housewives watched without batting an eye. This was the first time they knew that cakes were made in this way. No wonder the cakes in the store sold so much. It’s expensive. Just the dozen eggs costs a lot of labor.

After mixing the cake batter, Chu Qiao put it in the oven and started baking it. After closing it, she set the time. Several housewives looked at it curiously, "Xiao Chu, what is this?"

"The oven can bake cakes. You can also bake chicken wings, steaks, ribs and fish. It's very convenient." Chu Qiao explained.

"It turns out the oven looks like this. I've seen it on TV. Foreigners seem to use it to bake bread and steak. How much does it cost?"

Everyone was looking at the oven like a peep show, feeling very envious. They thought that if it was not expensive, they would also buy a baked cake. Children all like to eat cakes, so they would not have to spend money on it.

Chu Qiao thought for a moment and then said: "Department stores probably sell it for more than 1,200 yuan, and they are available at Youyi Mall."

Several housewives gasped and stared at the oven in horror. It was just a piece of iron and sold for more than a TV. Who could afford this thing?

The chicken cakes in the store are only one yuan and a half per pound. One pound can be enough for a child to eat for a week. More than 1,200 can buy a tractor of chicken cakes, which can last a lifetime.

Several housewives immediately gave up the idea of ​​buying an oven. Their annual salary was only a thousand yuan. It would take a year to buy an oven if they didn't eat or drink. Baking cakes and steaks didn't matter if they didn't eat.

"I can't afford it. With this money, I might as well buy a TV."

"TVs don't have to be so expensive. Xiao Chu, you really know how to buy them."

The housewives were envious and envious. Xiao Chu was the most lavish spender in the entire machine tool factory. He had to eat well and dress well. He even spent more than a thousand dollars to buy an oven after eating a cake. Section Chief Gu made money. It's great, but Xiao Chu spends money even more. I estimate that the 60,000 yuan will not be able to withstand a spending method like Xiao Chu's for a few years.

Thinking of this, everyone felt balanced again, and even sympathized with Gu Ye. He was handsome and could make money, but he married a lavish wife. Now that they were newly married and on their honeymoon, they were inseparable. Section Chief Gu would not have any objections. Wait. There will definitely be quarrels in a few years. What man can tolerate a wife who spends money so randomly?

Just watch, the gang will break up sooner or later!
