90: The mother of the little cannon fodder in the control group is reborn

Hua Lingling woke up from the cold.

She actually fell asleep on Chao Shuyu's bed last night. She hadn't slept on a bed in decades, and she always felt like there were holes in the ice wherever her feet touched at night, and if she moved the slightest, she would have a place to slip into the bed. The cold wind and the weight of the two quilts were as heavy as a mountain. She could only hug herself and curl up to sleep. It was a hard sleep.

When she woke up, Hua Lingling was stiff and cold. Even the air she breathed was cold. Her first thought was that she missed the warm quilt on her bed.

I really don’t know how her daughter spent this winter in such a cold bed!

After trying this night, Hua Lingling really wanted to take her daughter back to sleep on the kang, but she didn't know if her daughter would agree.

While twisting her stiff neck, Hua Lingling put on her shoes, stretched her arms and kicked her legs and walked outside.

There was no one in the main room, no one in the east room, and no one in the courtyard.

I don’t know what those two men were doing.

Today is twenty-four, a young year in the south.

In the north, after the Little New Year is over, preparations for the New Year have to be made. Just like in the jingle to celebrate the New Year, clean the house on the 24th, make tofu on the 25th, stew pork on the 26th, and stew pork on the 27th. Kill the cock...

The house was cleaned a few days ago and we can make tofu today. Hua Lingling plans to soak the beans today and make tofu in the afternoon or tomorrow.

Making tofu is not difficult. Just soak the beans and grind the soy milk with a stone grinder. Filter the bean dregs and cook the bean juice. Add brine and stir evenly. The boiled tofu curd is then poured into a mold covered with gauze, and the gauze is wrapped and placed on top. Use wooden boards and heavy objects to squeeze out the water, and let the tofu take shape overnight.

Hua Lingling lit a fire to heat the food in the pot again, and after eating, she prepared to soak the beans. Unexpectedly, Chao Mingyue came back carrying a pole, followed by a little tail.

"Mom, my dad and I went out to grind beans. Dad said we are going to make tofu today, and he wants to give me sweet bean juice to drink, and I can also eat tofu curd!"

When Chao Shuyu saw Hua Lingling, he repeated what Chao Mingyue said to her. She was very happy today. She was not only happy to drink bean juice and eat bean curds, but mainly because she could see with her own eyes how the beans turned into dou juice. Bean curd and tofu, it’s amazing, isn’t it?

"Xiao Yu likes to drink, so I'll drink two more bowls later!"

Hua Lingling pinched Chao Shuyu's little nose affectionately, feeling cold.

She touched Chao Shuyu's little hand again, which was also cold.

"Is it cold? Why don't you wear gloves when you go out? Hurry up and drink some hot water to warm yourself up."

After pouring hot water into an enamel jar, Hua Lingling urged Chao Shuyu to drink it quickly.

"Mom, I'm not cold! There are so many people grinding beans today! We waited in line for a long time!"

Chao Shuyu enjoyed her mother's care, sharing what she saw and heard with a smile, and drank hot water from an enamel jar that was about the same size as her little head.

Chao Mingyue was already used to Hua Lingling treating Chao Shuyu as a treasure and treating him like an idiot. Although he still felt sour in his heart, he couldn't compete with his daughter for favor and couldn't afford to lose this person.

He poured himself a bowl of hot water, and while Chao Mingyue drank the water, he watched Hua Lingling care and greet Chao Shuyu with all sorts of concerns. One of them didn't pay attention, and took a big gulp, which burned his mouth. " "His" twice, I almost threw the bowl out.

Not much water was spilled in the bowl, and most of the water that was spilled was on his hands.

pain!

He was so miserable, but his own wife only raised her head and glanced at him lightly, and then continued to warm her daughter's hands.

He also wants this treatment!

He only asked for a single word of concern from his wife, and he felt sour and bitter in his heart.

After filtering out the tofu residue and making the bean juice, Hua Lingling scooped out a bowl and added more sugar. After drinking it, Shuyu had a white beard on her mouth and smiled cutely at Hua Lingling.

It's a pity that she didn't have a camera at home, otherwise she could have taken a photo of this scene, which would be quite memorable.

After adding the beancurd cooked in brine, Hua Lingling filled another bowl for Chao Shuyu, added a few drops of soy sauce and vinegar, and sprinkled some chopped pickles and chopped green onion. After eating, Chao Shuyu felt full.

Hua Lingling also ate a bowl together. She was half full. She scooped the beancurd into a round bamboo basket covered with cotton cloth and placed it on a basin to drain. She also had to cook, such as frying tofu dregs.

As long as Chao Mingyue was at home, Hua Lingling would not do the cooking unless she was making pasta.

When Chao Shuyu saw the fried tofu dregs, he ate a lot and his belly was really full. Hua Lingling ordered him to walk around slowly to digest his food.

This lunch was a bit late, it was already past three in the afternoon, and it was only more than an hour before the usual dinner time, so I skipped dinner that day.

Chao Mingyue went out, Chao Shuyu also followed. Hua Lingling was at home alone. With such a rare opportunity, she naturally wanted to enter the space to collect corn, wheat, millet and other food.

Hua Lingling deliberately kept some crops and confiscated them, waiting for them to mature and take root again, which would save her the trouble of searching for seeds. However, she would have to replant the seedlings at that time, which was also a laborious and laborious task, but That was all she could do.

After all the work, I looked at the time. It was almost nine o'clock, and the two men hadn't come back yet.

Hua Lingling had no intention of going out to look for anyone. She was tired after working for several hours. After cleaning myself in the courtyard of the space, I got into bed and started to sleep.

Of course, the place where she slept was not at the end of the hot kang as usual, but at the end of the kang.

That night, when Chao Mingyue came back with Chao Shuyu who was already asleep and tucked his daughter into the bed, he went to the east room and took a look, although he didn't see anything.

After washing his feet, he groped into the bedroom in the dark. His eyes adjusted to the darkness, and he could vaguely see that the position at the head of the kang seemed to be empty. He was frightened, and hurriedly touched the electric light cord and pulled it down, "Click." "The light was turned on with a sound.

"Why are you turning on the light in the middle of the night? You're not letting anyone sleep!"

Hua Lingling muttered something and changed from sleeping on her back to lying on her side facing the east wall, with her back to Chao Mingyue and continued to sleep.

"I'll turn off the light right now, and you continue to sleep."

He just suddenly found that there was no one at the kang, and he panicked.

Seeing the person and hearing the complaints, Chao Mingyue felt relieved.

I don't know why, but during this period, he was always worried that his wife would disappear suddenly. If he didn't see anyone by mistake, he would think that his wife had run away.

How could his wife run away?

Chao Mingyue secretly despised himself, how could he miss his wife so much!
