Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

After the matter was finalized, Liu Yu saw Xiaoxue yawning and falling asleep, and the two elders also had a tired look on their faces.

When she was busy, she had to go to the kitchen to bring hot water to wash hands and feet. Liu Meixiang waved her hand, and she took care of the second elder and Xiaoxue. She just asked them to scoop water for their own use. After saying that, she turned around and went out to fetch water.

Although Liu Meixiang said so, Liu Yu did not become a hands-off shopkeeper. He only asked Changsheng to add more charcoal fire to the two kangs, and then hurriedly followed him to the kitchen to scoop water for the two elders to wash themselves.

After a while, the hot water in the pot had cooled down, so Liu Yu added a few more handfuls of firewood to reheat the water.

The heat of the kang was warm, and the hot water scalded her feet. Liu Yu carried the basin to the corner and climbed in.

There was a market tomorrow and they had to get up early to prepare things. The two of them stopped making trouble, exchanged a few words, held hands and closed their eyes to sleep.

The big rooster at home became a dish at the wedding banquet. Liu Yu woke up the next day and looked at the window lattice. It was already bright.

When the two of them got dressed and opened the door, they found that apart from them, even Xiaoxue was up.

"Little uncle, immortal uncle."

The bamboo rat was taken out from the woodshed, and the little girl was squatting in front of the bamboo cage watching Mao Duanzi happily.

Seeing that they got up even later than the little baby, Liu and Yu were quite embarrassed.

"Xiaoxue, why don't you sleep a little longer."

On such a cold day, such a big baby can get up and play, and the kang is warm and comfortable, so it is just right to sleep in.

"I still want to light the fire! But my grandma said that I don't need to work, so I want to feed the furry ones!"

Xiaoxue held up a piece of bamboo root dug out by Liuyu yesterday and smiled happily.

Liu Yu took a look at the listless Mao Duanzi in the bamboo cage and praised Xiaoxue for getting her name appropriately.

"You two, hurry up and wash your hands and eat. After eating, we can go to town!"

Liu Meixiang was making cakes in the kitchen, listening to Liu Yu chatting endlessly with her daughter, and couldn't help but urge her.

Oddly enough, this child didn't talk much when he was in the Wu family, so he talked a little more when he was around his mother. Normally, he was more like a frightened little rabbit.

The speed of Liumeixiang's buns gradually slowed down, and she felt guilty in her heart. It was because she was a useless mother and failed to protect her child.

Seeing Liu Shan and the others coming in, Liu Meixiang quickly gathered her emotions, and the movements of her hands quickened again.

. . . . . . . .

In Shangzhang Town, it's the right time.

It’s already half of the twelfth lunar month, and both the streets and the grass markets are full of new year flavor.

Those who sell New Year pictures, those who sell Spring Festival couplets, those who sell stickers for money!

The shouts kept coming and going!

There are also sellers of all kinds of cakes and fried fruits for New Year gifts, big roosters with red combs that have been raised by farmers for two or three years, old hens, and farmers who bring sheep to sell.

"Floating tea, drink floating tea!"

The stall owner selling floating tea yelled at the passers-by. Most of the people came after breakfast, and not many people were willing to spend money to drink a bowl of sweet sake lees tea.

Occasionally, a greedy child will be dragged away by the women and husbands: "A bowl of clear soup with little water will be gone as soon as you urinate. If there is a cake seller, I will buy you a cake later." .”

Seeing that the baby was about to cry, he glared at her: "Don't cry, your eyes will water from crying. I won't take you to the market next time!"

This sentence was so shocking that the children all flattened their mouths and tried their best to suck back the tears that filled their eyes.

Walking further from the Fuzi Tea Stall, you can see a red-cheeked girl taking bites of various kinds of food. The golden-shelled, crispy little girl is picking up the dregs with one hand!

Even the air here seems to be filled with sweet fragrance!

"Mom, I want to eat that cake!"

The woman took one look at the cake in the little girl's hand. It had a crispy golden shell and a red heart. She knew it was cheap.

The woman frowned and asked the stall owner who was turning the cake, "How do you sell this cake?"

But she made up her mind. If the cake was more than two cents, she would leave immediately and spend one cent to buy a bowl of float tea for this greedy boy.

"Our shortbread has either brown sugar filling or sesame filling. It costs two cents for one, and three or five cents for three!"

Liu Meixiang turned the shortbread over and put it into a small dustpan made of green bamboo. When she saw business coming to her door, she hurriedly greeted them with a smile.

It's not expensive, but the woman can see clearly that the oil for these pancakes is made of non-condensing vegetable oil, and the pancake base is made of fine white flour. Looking at the candied food on the corner of the little girl's mouth, you can tell that the filling must be... Sweet.

"Make me three brown sugar cakes!" The woman hesitated and said.

There is also a girl and a brother at home. In the past two or three years, most of the work at home has fallen on the two children. They also use the meat that falls off their own bodies. They don’t get to eat the brothers in the tree and house in the sky, but let the other two watch. On.

The woman counted out five coins and handed them over. She took the hot oil paper package and stuffed it into her backpack. Seeing that her son was not happy.

Then he warned: "Go back and eat with your brothers and sisters. Otherwise, if you finish eating now, you can only watch when you go home."

Liu Meixiang couldn't help but laugh when she saw that the boy was only five or six years old. He was very greedy but could hold it back. So he cut a pancake into several small pieces with a shovel.

He picked the big piece and handed it over: "This is stuffed with sesame seeds, take it and try it!"

The boy glanced at his mother and saw her nodding. He accepted it with a wide smile and ate it all in his mouth, shouting that it was delicious, sweet and fragrant.

The child was happy, and the woman also relaxed her eyebrows. She thanked Liu Meixiang and left with her newly born son.

“We can try this cake before we buy it!”

The business was open, and Liu Meixiang was about to share the joy with Liu Yu, who was setting up a stall next to her to sell money, when she heard another inquiring voice.

"Yes, of course."

........................

Since the pancakes are cooked on the kang, those who buy them have to wait a little while at the back. When there are more people waiting, curious passers-by will come over to take a look.

I heard from the customer waiting in front that they sold very sweet shortbread. After asking about the price, I thought the price was OK, so I stayed to buy a piece to try it.

The more than 100 cake embryos brought by the three people will be sold out at the beginning of noon.

The customer who didn't buy one felt a pity and asked Liu Meixiang if she would come to the next episode.

After hearing the affirmative answer, Judu left with satisfaction.

The last few pieces of Liumeixiang were not sold just now. After consulting the people in front of the queue, Liumeixiang divided the cakes into small pieces and distributed them to the guests who were waiting for the shortbread cakes.

He said: "Everyone has waited for a long time and tasted it. If you enjoy eating it, come back and buy it tomorrow."

"Sister, you are so awesome!" After everyone dispersed, Liu Yu gave Liu Meixiang a thumbs-up while putting the things on the trolley.

This sweet shortbread is just like meat, so it’s fine if you don’t eat it, but the more you eat, the more you become greedy.

The guests who were given shortbread today will probably come again tomorrow.

Liu Meixiang was busy all morning and asked Liu Yu how the money was selling.
