When Mother Li saw that it was a big meat bun, she quickly stuffed the oil-paper bag into Chen Qiao's hand. She had wasted such a good thing after eating it.
"Auntie, please take it. I still have it here. These meat buns are a nutritious meal bought in the hospital and are cheaper than those bought in state-owned restaurants."
Mother Li swallowed secretly, but still shook her head firmly. Li Huan finally understood why Cheng Qiao didn't eat meat buns yesterday morning. It turned out that he wanted to give them to his mother.
"Mom, take this for breakfast, you are tired from the autumn harvest."
When Mother Li saw her son speaking, she could only take the big meat buns and leave. She was worried that the village chief would curse him if he didn't get off the ground. Li Huan gave Li Le a look and left, and Li Le nodded with a smile.
"Let's go to work. If we are late, we will deduct cents."
Xiaoqin glanced at her watch and became anxious.
"Let's go, Cheng Qiao, close the door yourself and let's go."
In just a few minutes, almost everyone in the courtyard of the Educated Youth Point left. Cheng Qiao and Li Le smiled at each other and entered the house hand in hand.
Xu Laidi and Chai Jianmin were the only two people left in the yard with big eyes and small eyes. Chai Jianmin looked at Xu Laidi with disheveled hair and red and swollen face, his body shook involuntarily and he left quickly.
"Lele, can you write?"
"Second sister-in-law, I don't know how."
"That won't work. You have to go to school after the autumn harvest."
"I dont go."
"why."
“My family doesn’t have enough money to go to school.”
"I will give you money, and you must go to school well. In the future, you will at least be able to read and write account books."
"Second sister-in-law..."
"Come on, let's take inventory. I'll take it out and write it down and then you put it away."
There is no need to count the betrothal gifts. They are right in front of you at a glance, but Cheng Qiao still writes them down in his notebook seriously: three feet of cotton cloth, fifty kilograms of rice, a bicycle...
No, didn't Li Huan say that the bicycle was borrowed? Well, he would have to ask Li Huan when he saw him later. Cheng Qiao made a note of this in his mind.
"Second sister-in-law, are these your dowry?"
"Well, I'll take it apart and put it on these beds."
Cheng Qiao pointed to the beds of Han Chunmei and others, and then took action, first taking out a pair of bright red thermos bottles, and then a pair of glass sugar bowls.
"Second sister-in-law, what is this? It's so beautiful."
"Sugar bowl, the place where the sugar is placed, you wait, I'll find the sugar."
Cheng Qiao rummaged through the bag, and after a while, he took out two brand-new lunch boxes. When he opened the lunch boxes, they were full of white sugar.
"Wow, second sister-in-law, how come you have so much sugar?"
Seeing the little girl swallowing secretly, Cheng Qiao put his hand into his trouser pocket again. When he took it out again, five or six colorful fruit candies appeared in his hand.
"this is for you."
"Wow, it's fruit candy, thank you, second sister-in-law."
Li Le found out that what Cheng Qiao gave her was fruit candies, and she smiled crookedly. She really liked eating candies, but it was a pity that her mother never bought them for her. If it weren't for her second brother, she would have almost forgotten the taste of candies.
"No thanks, eat quickly. There are also eggs. I cooked them in the morning and they are still hot."
Cheng Qiao took out two hard-boiled eggs from his coat pocket and stuffed them into Li Le's hand.
"There are also eggs. Sister-in-law, you are so kind. I am really hungry."
While Li Le was peeling the eggshells, Cheng Qiao quickly smuggled in the supplies in the space, including underwear, sweaters, socks, shoes, gloves, hats, scarves, bedding, tableware, large and small iron pots...
"Second sister-in-law..."
Li Le originally wanted to share the eggs with Cheng Qiao, but when he saw so many things suddenly appearing on the shop floor, he screamed in fright.
"What's wrong? Eat the eggs quickly."
"oh"
Li Le stopped talking and was very moved. It seems that the second sister-in-law used all the money compensated by the Chen family to buy her dowry. This second sister-in-law is really kind.
Cheng Qiao took the time to register. As long as she could think of it, she would write everything in the grocery store. Since Li Le couldn't read, she could write anything.
I glanced at the watch on my wrist and realized that it was almost ten o'clock. I had to cook, otherwise the food delivery would be delayed.
He quickly put everything into the sack, tied a knot with a rope, and placed it in the corner.
"Lele, let's go make lunch."
"Second sister-in-law, have you finished writing? After finishing writing, I will go to find my mother. I don't worry about her being alone."
"I've finished writing, but I want to cook some food for you to take over. Autumn harvest is very hard, so you have to eat well."
Li Leyao Yaotou, after eating twenty large meat dumplings yesterday, she was already satisfied, so today she brought corn tortillas and water, as long as she was not hungry.
Seeing that Li Le was anxious, Cheng Qiao didn't let her stay anymore. It was more convenient to cook alone. She just started doing it. Cheng Qiao started to take action. First she soaked some mung beans in water and sent her a mung bean soup in the afternoon, which could quench her thirst and replenish her body.
physical strength.
The autumn harvest time is tight, and it is impossible to stir-fry a few vegetables and eat them slowly, so steam some steamed buns, cakes and the like, fry some oily cabbage, and eat it with the steamed buns. It will definitely taste good.
Due to time constraints, Cheng Qiao steamed the steamed sorghum buns directly from the space after lighting them up. This kind of sorghum steamed buns has actually been improved. Not only does it not stick to the throat, but it is also soft and slightly sweet.
While the sorghum buns were steaming on the pot, Cheng Qiao went to the private plot to chop a cabbage, broke it into pieces, washed it and chopped it into pieces for later use.
After the sorghum buns are steamed, add oil to the pan, add the cabbage and stir-fry. When the cabbage is almost cooked, add a large amount of lard residue, cover the pot and simmer for a few minutes.
She took out the lunch box and tea jar, put sorghum buns in one and fried lard residue in cabbage in the other. She turned off the fire, locked the door, and ran into the fields. She still remembered the land assigned to Mother Li to work in her previous life.
"Cheng Qiao, where are you going?"
Just passing by a field, a familiar voice came. Cheng Qiao looked over and saw that it was Han Chunmei. There were blood marks on her hands and face, which were small cuts made by corn leaves.
"Sister Chunmei, this is for you."
Since Cheng Qiao had space, she has been accustomed to carrying a cloth bag, which makes it easier to take things. The two lunch boxes are also placed in the cloth bag so that no one can see them.
"Labor protection gloves, Cheng Qiao, where did you get them?"
Han Chunmei became excited. This thing was difficult to get. She didn't know how Cheng Qiao got it.
"Shh, I originally prepared it for myself, but now the village chief doesn't want me to rest, so this is no longer needed. You can use it first."
"Cheng Qiao, thank you, by the way, where are you going?"
"I'm going to see my future mother-in-law. I have to build a good relationship with her."
"Well, go ahead, but don't be too obedient, or you will suffer a lot in the future."
"I know, I'm leaving."
Han Chunmei put on her gloves with a smile and started working again. Several villagers nearby and Xu Laidi's eyes shone with envy.
