Chapter 16 Her mother is a little polite, but not very polite
Xu Qingzhi stayed in the spiritual energy space all night and came out of the spiritual energy space when she heard her mother's voice calling her.
Although I didn't sleep all night, I felt very refreshed.
Wang Yanmei shouted outside for a while, knocked on the door symbolically, and then walked in.
Xu Qingzhi was lying on the bed, pretending to be sleepy, feeling grateful that he moved quickly.
The door lock of this room is broken and cannot be locked, but fortunately her mother is never the one to break in without saying a word.
Usually she would knock on the door first, but as long as the door was unlocked, her mother would come in if she could.
Well, that is to say, her mother is a bit polite, but not very polite.
Wang Yanmei's movements of waking up were very smooth. While opening the curtains to let in the light from outside, she shouted: "Get up quickly, the sun is going to scorch your butt. You lazy moron can't afford it. It's ten o'clock."
Zhongli."
Xu Qingzhi glanced at the time display on his phone: 8:39 minutes.
She muttered, trying to reason: "Mom, it's only after eight o'clock."
"Early to bed and early to rise is good for good health. Young people should look like young people." Wang Yanmei glanced at her to confirm that she was awake. She waved her hand and said, "Go and wash up quickly. The powder has been cooked and is waiting for you.
Get up, I'll make some soup."
"Okay, mom." Xu Qingzhi responded obediently.
Wang Yanmei went to the kitchen to work again.
Xu Qingzhi got up from the bed and went to brush her teeth and wash her face.
Since she came back, she didn't put on makeup, so she washed up quickly and was sitting at the dining table waiting for breakfast in a few minutes.
Wang Yanmei put the hot rice noodles on the table and urged: "Eat it while it's hot. If you keep it for a long time, the rice noodles won't taste good."
Xu Qingzhi picked up the chopsticks, picked up the rice noodles, and slurped it in.
Breakfast in Meicheng is mainly based on local rice noodles, referred to as noodles. Compared with other places, the texture is softer, thin and round, and the noodles are white and tender when cooked.
A bowl of freshly cooked rice noodles, paired with steaming thick soup and various textures.
Thousands of flavors are hidden in the powder.
Xu Qingzhi loves the stir-fried pork with chili peppers, but the rice noodles made by her mother are more home-style.
A few poached eggs are fried in fragrant tea seed oil, and mixed with crushed red pepper from Soul Farm. The whole soup base becomes milky white and bright red.
Xu Qingzhi finished a bowl of noodles in two minutes.
Xu Fuqiang on the side also ate with gusto and said to Xu Qingzhi: "Your mother's craftsmanship is really getting better and better."
"Of course." Xu Qingzhi nodded in agreement, raised his hand to take out a piece of paper, and wiped his mouth.
Wang Yanmei also felt that the food in the past two days was particularly fragrant, and said: "It probably has something to do with the tea seed oil. Our tea seed oil is really fragrant for cooking. Unfortunately, there were few tea seeds at home last year. I usually tell you
When Dad was at home, he used other oils to stir-fry vegetables. When you came back, he used tea seed oil to stir-fry vegetables at home. This bucket of tea seed oil was specially brought over yesterday by your grandma when she saw you here. It’s delicious.
, but after eating, you have to ask a fellow villager to buy some, which costs seventy or eighty yuan a pound."
"Mom, since cooking is delicious, let's use this oil. I have money." Of course Xu Qingzhi would not say that he dropped a few drops of spiritual spring water in the rapeseed oil.
Even if tea seed oil does not add Lingquan water, it is indeed more fragrant and has higher nutritional value than other oils when cooking, let alone adding Lingquan water.
Wang Yanmei listened to her daughter's words and responded with a smile on her face: "Okay, I will use tea seed oil for cooking from now on."
When it came to money, Xu Fuqiang looked at Xu Qingzhi solemnly, "Qingzhi, your mother told me last night that the 100,000 yuan you paid for our family will be paid later when dad earns it."
Give it back to you."
Xu Qingzhi frowned, not happy: "Dad, what are you talking about? I'm talking like an outsider. You can earn that little money and keep it for your own retirement."
"Qingzhi, you are still young and don't understand." Grandma Chen Xiaoqing on the side began her own sermon, "Nowadays, young people pay attention to being well-matched when looking for a partner. If you don't have any money, others will look down on you..."
Xu Qingzhi rubbed his head and said a little forcefully: "Grandma, I don't plan to find a partner yet. Don't tell anyone about this in the future. It hurts my head."
After saying that, Xu Qingzhi entered the kitchen carrying the finished soup bowl.
Of course, how could she be angry about such a trivial matter? After all, she has lived for more than five hundred years. She deliberately spoke so harshly, because if she didn't explain it clearly, her family would keep talking about it.
Now that she refuses with a strong attitude, her parents are not unreasonable, so they will not talk about it again later.
Sure enough, Wang Yanmei shook her head and said to Chen Xiaoqing: "Mom, don't worry about Qingzhi at your age. Qingzhi is only 22 years old and is still young. As parents, we can't bear to have her get married so early. Everything depends on her.
Think about it."
Chen Xiaoqing nodded, naturally she would not get angry with her juniors over this matter. She likes all these grandchildren.
While eating the rice noodles, she couldn't help but praise: "This rice noodles is really delicious, Yanmei, tomorrow you can open a rice noodle stall in your Taoshui Village and try it."
Xu Fuqiang thinks this idea is feasible.
"Yanmei, with your skills, you might be able to make some money by opening a noodle stall. We can't make much money even if we do small jobs every day, and we have to rely on others for food."
Wang Yanmei is a little moved. She and Xu Fuqiang did some business in the village before.
That was when she was pregnant with Qingzhi. She and Xu Fuqiang were selling tofu. They got up at three or four o'clock every night to make it. In the morning, they would carry the tofu and sell it along the street before seven o'clock in the morning.
It's just that the tofu made by Xu Fuqiang always tastes a little different, and he has not inherited his father's tofu-making skills. There are few people buying it, and the profit margin is not high. Even with today's tofu, two pieces of tofu only cost one yuan. p>
Later, she and Xu Fuqiang gave up making tofu, and Xu Fuqiang's eldest brother took over, and they are still selling tofu to this day.
It's not like she and Xu Fuqiang haven't thought about going out to work to make money.
But at that time, the two children at home were still young and both had to go to school, so they couldn't rest assured, so they kept farming in the village, earning 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a year from the rice harvest, and doing small jobs during the rest of the time.
Over the years, the two of them have helped sell watermelons, build houses, pick tea seeds, collect Chinese medicinal materials... they have done anything that can make money. Wang Yanmei even joined the village's waist drum team, and she can get a hundred and twenty dollars by playing drums at weddings and funerals.
Ten yuan, a towel and a pack of cigarettes.
Wang Yanmei thought about it carefully. She and Xu Fuqiang didn't have any money at the moment. The cost of the noodle stall was not high, but they couldn't do it without money, so they had to find an excuse and said: "Let's talk about it later. Let's take care of dad's health first."
OK."
At noon, Wang Yanmei prepared a meal and put one portion in an insulated lunch box.
Chen Xiaoqing stewed yesterday's ginseng in water again.
After dinner, the family went to the hospital.
In the morning, Chen Xiaoqing brought porridge and side dishes. Afraid that Wang Kaifu would be hungry, he had an early lunch today and arrived at the hospital only at 11:30.
When they arrived at the ward, Wang Kaifu was already eating.
Wang Jinlan and Zhou Hongwei are both here, and so is the fourth aunt, as well as Wang Jinlan's daughter Wang Linlin.
Wang Jinlan saw Wang Yanmei holding a lunch box in her hand and said with a smile: "Sister, why didn't you tell me earlier that you would bring food to dad today? Now Linlin is back and said that she would cook for grandpa herself to show her filial piety.
