"Wenle, Wenle." Li Hongying dared to shout softly when she saw that Xu Miaomiao was not in the yard.
I guessed that Xu Miaomiao must be sleeping in the room.
Liu Wenle turned around and saw Li Hongying waving to him, as if there was something hidden behind her back.
He ran over happily and cried out "milk" sweetly.
"Shh."
Li Hongying made a quiet gesture, then stuffed the two multi-grain steamed buns hidden behind her, "Go and hide them quickly, and share them with your brothers tonight."
If the grandchildren can't get enough to eat after working all day, their bodies will collapse.
After she finished speaking, she ran away like a thief. Liu Wenle looked at the two multigrain steamed buns in his hand, and without any hesitation went directly to the kitchen and handed them to Xu Miaomiao.
"Mom, this is the steamed bun that grandma gave me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xu Miaomiao making dough, which was still white!
"Mom, where did you get the white noodles?" He remembered that there was nothing left at home.
Xu Miaomiao glanced at the black and white multi-grain steamed buns and said, "Put it in a clean bowl and save it for making noodles at night.
When I just went back to my room to pack my things, I suddenly found the rice and noodles that I had hidden for fear of rats. We happened to have finished eating at home, so I took them out."
This was the reason she had already thought of, and she would fool her three sons into it when they came back.
Anyway, the three boys had no idea how much money the original owner had or how much stuff he had.
To be precise, the original owner never told them at all.
Her eyes fell on the two steamed buns. In fact, Li Hongying was really good to her grandchildren.
Relief like this is common, but the main concern is that some of my grandchildren will starve to death.
"Eating white noodles at night?" Liu Wenle looked surprised and couldn't believe it.
He hasn't had a proper meal for many days. If he could have a bite of white noodles, he would definitely have sweet dreams at night.
"Yeah, we'll start making noodles when your brothers come back." Xu Miaomiao said, already cooking the noodles.
I just took it out and kneaded it and realized that I didn’t have a rolling pin at home???
"Wenle, go to grandma's house to borrow a rolling pin and buy 8 eggs." Xu Miaomiao washed her hands and took out 40 cents from her pocket.
Eggs cost five cents each, and eight are exactly one pound.
Liu Wenle clutched the forty cents in his hand tightly, as if he was completing a major task, and ran to the old house quickly.
"Milk, my mother said I want eight eggs and I want to borrow a rolling pin." Liu Wenle shouted so loudly that not only Li Honghua heard it, but her second daughter-in-law Sun Fangfang also heard it.
Li Honghua was a little angry after hearing this, "Go back and tell your mother that I don't have any eggs at home. I sold them all during the market."
The eggs are kept and sold for money. Only the children at home eat a few occasionally, and the adults are reluctant to eat them at all.
She, the third daughter-in-law, does not treat herself badly.
"That's right, all our eggs are sold. If she wants to eat them, she can go to the market to buy them. Our family doesn't have any extra." Sun Fangfang said in a strange tone.
This Xu Miaomiao, who has been separated into different families, still dares to come and ask for food, pretending that she doesn’t exist, right?
Even if the old woman agreed, she would not agree.
When Liu Wenle heard that the eggs were sold out, he had a sad face and handed Li Honghua 40 cents, "Mistress, can you help me buy eight eggs from my aunt's house in the village? I'll give you the money."
Mom must be craving for eggs. She has done so much work today, so she must have some eggs to replenish herself.
Mom will be unhappy if she can't buy eggs.
Li Honghua looked at the forty cents in her hand and was stunned, "Is this really the money your mother gave you to buy eggs?"
Liu Wenle nodded.
"What a prodigal bitch, just wait and I'll get it for you." Li Honghua said and walked towards her room.
Sun Fangfang's eyes widened. She also saw the forty cents. For a moment, she couldn't believe that this money was given by that stingy woman Xu Miaomiao.
Soon, Li Honghua put nine eggs in a bag and handed them to Liu Wenle, "Take it, don't drop it on the way."
Then she went to the kitchen and took out the rolling pin.
"Mom, why did you give him nine eggs?" Sun Fangfang shouted while picking up the egg bag.
She knew that this old woman was partial, and she was caught.
"Eggs cost 40 cents per catty, and eight of them are indeed almost one catty. But our eggs are small, and eight is not enough for one catty. Since the third daughter-in-law has given me the money, I can't let her suffer." Li Honghua felt that she
It's done fairly.
Don’t take too much, and don’t want too little.
No one else has anything to say.
Sun Fangfang had no choice but to shut up.
Liu Wenle took the things and ran home happily. Xu Miaomiao looked at the extra egg and once again confirmed in her heart that Mrs. Li was a good person.
In the past, Xu Miaomiao didn't like ordering takeout when she was living alone. When she wasn't working, she liked to study delicious food at home.
Rolling out noodles was not a piece of cake for her yet, but it was a bit difficult for her now.
This physical fitness really needs to be improved. Just bending down for a while is a bit unbearable.
Liu Wenle was very sensible and came over to give Xu Miaomiao a beating, "Mom, why don't you ask me to do it, I'm very strong."
Xu Miaomiao was very happy that her fourth son was considerate. Although she was happy, she also felt a little distressed. "Mom will finish it quickly. Wenle can just help me beat my waist."
After a while, Xu Miaomiao saw that it was almost getting dark.
"Wenle, go and see if the brothers are almost ready. If they are, come back and help me light the fire and cook the noodles."
Liu Wenle was so happy that he ran out in a hurry.
He wanted to tell his brothers the good news about having noodles and poached eggs in the evening. They would be as happy as him.
"Humph, fourth brother, I'm afraid you are happy too early! She is cooking it for herself and has nothing to do with us." Liu Wenjun, the third child, curled his lips and said.
She had done this kind of thing a lot in the past.
The smiles on Liu Wenxin and Liu Wenshao's faces suddenly disappeared without a trace. No matter what Liu Wenle said, they didn't believe it.
If you don't have hope, you won't be disappointed.
This is the experience they have accumulated over the years.
After being disappointed too many times, it is difficult to ignite hope. Just like Liu Wenjun, no matter what Xu Miaomiao does, he will not believe it.
Even if you are really nice to them, there is a purpose.
Seeing that no one believed in him, Liu Wenle ran back home angrily and sat under the pot to light the fire.
Xu Miaomiao felt that she might have guessed what happened, but she didn't say anything.
After the noodles were cooked, Xu Miaomiao filled five bowls and said, "Go and ask them to come back for dinner. The noodles will become lumpy after a while."
As soon as they finished speaking, the three brothers had already carried the last harvest of grain into the yard.
"smell good."
"Can white flour noodles with eggs not be delicious?" Liu Wenjun said mockingly to the kitchen.
