Back to the ancient restaurant

Because of the slack season, many people went out to find work, and because of the competition, Brother Li and Brother Li and others were free.On the second day after Li Zi'an finished discussing with Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li packed up and went back to Li's Village to tell the two brothers about the matter.

It is good to have work to earn money, and it can also help their younger brother, so the two brothers are naturally very happy.Because it is necessary to renovate the entire yard, it will definitely not work if there are fewer manpower.Brother Li used to be a mason, so he can only work with others.If my younger brother wants to continue this job, he must discuss it with the foreman to see if the foreman is still taking on other people's work and whether he can arrange it.

Second brother Li is a carpenter, according to his mother, the house that Li Zian rented is not too small.It is estimated that it will take two months to complete a complete set of tables, chairs and benches, as well as cabinets, tables and stools in the kitchen.Fortunately, Li Erge's father-in-law is also a veteran carpenter, and he has many disciples and grandchildren under him.As long as his father-in-law is willing to come forward to say hello, it is estimated that the time can be shortened a lot.

However, his father-in-law is not young anymore, and he has accumulated some wealth over the years, so he has stopped helping others easily in recent years. Brother Li silently calculated it in his heart, and went back to his room to discuss the matter with his wife. Things went.

Li Ersao naturally noticed how her uncle treated the two children.Now my brother-in-law needs help with something, and they can do what they can, so naturally there is no reason to refuse.Although her father hasn't done much by himself in the past few years, it's not that he can't do it occasionally.

Second brother Li told the story to second sister-in-law Li, and second sister-in-law Li immediately nodded, and with the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, the husband and wife bought some things at noon that day, and took the two children back to their natal home.

Mr. Huang is the second sister-in-law of Li, and he is very happy to see his daughter and son-in-law come back with their children.In a hurry, Mrs. Huang prepared food and drinks, planning to have a good drink with her son-in-law.

Second Wife Li knew that her father was a drunkard, so she immediately pulled her face and said, "You know how to drink when you are old! You are such an old person, and you don't know how to control yourself at all. If you drink something bad, who cares?" Suffer for you."

Mr. Huang happily listened to his daughter's reprimand, reached out and nodded Li Ersao, and scolded: "Look at your temper, you don't know how many times you will suffer when you marry someone else's family, so Zi Yang and his in-laws can bear it." Got you."

Hearing this, Second Aunt Li gave his father a sideways look, then turned around and went to the kitchen with the vegetables she picked.Seeing this, Second Brother Li smiled and defended his daughter-in-law: "Look at what Dad said. Wen Shu's mother is very virtuous at home, and my mother doesn't know how much she likes her. She said that just now, and it was for your own sake. To be honest, you are not too young. This wine is not a good thing, if you can drink less, drink less."

Seeing his son-in-law protecting his daughter so much, Mr. Huang secretly rejoiced in his heart that he was right.Smiling and nodding at his son-in-law, he obediently poured a glass, then put the jug away and put it in the cabinet.

During the dinner, Second Brother Li mentioned his request, and the old man took a sip of the wine and nodded in agreement without any hesitation.Seeing this, the second brother was very moved, but he knew that the old man agreed to him only for the sake of his wife.Turning his head to look at the daughter-in-law who was feeding the child, a trace of tenderness flashed in Li Erge's eyes.

Everyone said that marrying a wife should marry a virtuous person, and Li Ziyang felt that this sentence was true.

Since the daughter-in-law married into their family, she has been respectful from top to bottom, and has done her best outside the house. No one who knows her has said anything bad about her.But Li Ziyang knew that his daughter-in-law was the only child of the Huang family, and she was raised by her parents in the palm of her hand when she was at home.Being able to marry into their family to such an extent, he naturally saw the grievance and bitterness in his eyes.So he was willing to base his wife's opinion on some matters, not because he was afraid of her, but because he respected her.

The family of four didn't rush back until it was getting dark. Seeing the backs of the husband and wife leaving with their children, Mr. Huang nodded with his hands behind his back.The old wife who had been with him for many years looked at him, knowing what he was thinking, she shook her head helplessly and walked back while pulling the old man's arm.

"People say that the father-in-law looks at his son-in-law, and the more he looks at him, the more he gets annoyed. It's good to see you here, the more he looks at him, the more satisfied he becomes."

Hearing this, the old man stopped and looked at the old wife sideways, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? You don't like Zi Yang? Back then, I didn't want to marry my daughter to him. Who was calling me behind? "

Seeing his old wife slumped, the old man chuckled, and then said: "Although Ziyang is a good child, he has a gentle temper and knows how to love others. But it is because our daughter can bear the grievances, so the son-in-law is considerate of her and loves her dearly." Needless to say, my mother-in-law, although she has a strong temper, is fortunate that she is not a grumpy mother-in-law. What I was dissatisfied with at the beginning was Mrs. Li's, and I had to be strong in everything, lest our daughter suffer. But now it seems that the two sister-in-laws get along well. It's fine, so I have nothing to worry about."

Hearing what the old man said, Mrs. Huang nodded. "Yeah, as long as my daughter is doing well, I can do anything. It's just that you are so old, can you take on the job of the Li family boy?"

"Why can't I take it, Xiao Fan, Changchun, don't they still exist?" After finishing speaking, Mr. Huang sighed leisurely. "My in-laws treat our daughter very well, and we must help if we can help with such a small matter. And when my daughter came back before, she also said that the boy from the Li family was very kind to the two of them."

"The boy from the Li family is a man of learning. Wen Shu and Wen Yue can be taken care of by him in the future. So let's pay more attention to his affairs, which is only good for my daughter. My bones are old, but I still do it. Move more, and more activities are good for your body.”

Hearing that the old man said the same thing, and every sentence made sense, the old lady listened quietly and didn't make a sound.The two returned home with each other, the setting sun was shining behind them, only the years were quiet.

……

Li Zian had already been thinking about the Mid-Autumn Festival. He originally thought that Li Hongshen might have a social meeting, so he would go back to Li's house for a while.However, Li Hongshen stared at him for a long time as soon as he said the words.That night, the two lingered until midnight, and Li Zi'an was finally satisfied when he agreed to accompany him to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The two snuggled together, Li Zi'an stroked Li Hongshen's smooth back, tilted his head to look at the corners of the other's mouth when he was sleeping soundly, his originally conflicted heart finally fell to Li Hongshen's side.

Although this person never mentioned anything about his family, Li Zian could also see that his relationship with his family did not seem to be very good.Beijing middle school is knowledgeable, and there are not many qualified academies. If he has a good relationship with his parents, how could he not study in such a good academy in Beijing middle school, and travel all the way to this small place of Huangshi.

Ever since the two got together, Li Zian found that when the two got along, Li Hongshen was as gentle and meticulous as usual.But once in a while, I suddenly feel a little panicked. If I have to go back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, then this person probably doesn't know what to think...

Li Zian moved his body to help him adjust a more comfortable posture. Li Hong, who was sleeping soundly because of being moved, frowned deeply. Li Zian hurriedly patted his back like soothing a baby, and stopped when his brows eased. action.

Xu went to bed late, and it was almost past time when Li Zian woke up.At this time, Li Hongshen in his arms had already woken up, looking up at him with tenderness in his eyes.Because it was Muxiu, the two of them were not in a hurry to get up. Li Zian, who was sleepy, lowered his head and rubbed against Li Hongshen's neck, only to wake up a little.

"Why don't you call me when you wake up? Are you hungry? I'll help you with what you want to eat?"

"I don't want to eat, Muxiu finally wants to lie down for a while."

Hearing this, Li Zi'an nodded, and hugged Li Hongshen into his arms.The two chatted one after another, and after a while Li Zi'an felt that the person in his arms was not moving. Looking down, the other party's eyes were half-closed, as if he was about to fall asleep.

Seeing this, Li Zi'an couldn't help laughing, said "sleep", and patted Li Hong again to fall asleep.After Li Hong fell asleep, Li Zi'an got out of bed lightly.

I wanted to help Li Hongshen cook some of his favorite meals, but when I saw Li's mother cooking red beans, I realized that the moon cakes here need to be made by myself.But seeing that Li's mother only prepared red beans to make red bean paste stuffing, Li Zi'an also became interested immediately.

"Mother Li, do you have salted eggs at home?"

"I have some salted eggs. Do you want Mr. Li to eat them? I'll cook them now." Mama Li took out three salted duck eggs from the jar next to her and was about to put them into the pot. Li Zian quickly stopped her down.

"No, I see that you are going to make moon cakes, so I want to ask, and I want to make something different."

Hearing Li Zian's words, Li's mother couldn't help but smile. "Li Xianggong is really interesting. Isn't this mooncake just filled with red bean paste? Otherwise, what else can I use?"

Mama Li's words made Li Zi'an choke, thinking: There are many, but you haven't seen it... However, there are some types that Li Zi'an wants to make and has no materials, but it's common to try.For example, his favorite is lotus seed paste with egg yolk.

After eating breakfast, which was no longer considered breakfast, Li Zi'an gathered all the ingredients he needed and began to tinker in the kitchen.

Fortunately, he had studied with Master Bai An for a period of time before, and he still hasn't forgotten the most basic things.Since we want to make lotus paste and egg yolk mooncakes, if we don’t have lotus paste here, we can only make it ourselves.Fortunately, there are a lot of lotus seeds at home, so there is no need to go out to buy them.Li Zian immediately cleaned the casserole, soaked the lotus seeds that had been cleaned and removed the lotus heart for about two quarters of an hour, and then started to cook.

Li Hongshen also got up at this time, and asked Zhao Yang when he didn't find Li Zi'an in the main courtyard.Knowing that he was currently in the kitchen, Li Hongshen thought that he was making something delicious for himself again, so he walked towards the kitchen.

From a distance, Li Hongshen saw Li Zian squatting by the stove, holding a cattail fan in his hand, fanning the stove continuously to increase the firepower.When Li Hongshen walked, Li Zian felt his head go dark, and only then did he realize that his daughter-in-law had already woken up.

"Are you hungry? Mother Li left breakfast for you in the pot."

Li Hong has long since lost his appetite after sleeping deeply. Smelling the fragrance of lotus seeds coming out of the casserole, he couldn't help asking curiously, "What are you cooking again? It tastes like lotus seed porridge."

"It's not lotus seed porridge, you'll know later."

As he spoke, Li Zian lifted the lid of the casserole and saw that the lotus seeds inside were almost ready, so he hurriedly put a rag on the ears on both sides of the casserole and took it down.

"Help me hold the bamboo fence, and I will control the water in this pot of lotus seeds."

Hearing this, Li Hongshen hurriedly took the bamboo fence that Li Zi'an handed over, but didn't understand how to put it down for a while.Li Zian knew that Li Hongshen really hadn't cooked, so he smiled and asked him to put it down, planning to cook it himself.

Li Hongshen looked at Li Zian's busy appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed.It was not easy for Li Zian to ask him to help with something, but he couldn't even do the job of holding a fence...

After Li Zi'an finished controlling the water, he saw Li Hongshen standing aside with a disappointed face. He guessed that he was a little unhappy about what happened just now. Seeing that no one around quickly pecked Li Hongshen's face, he said, "You didn't do it before. But it’s natural not to know, I’ll cook something delicious for you in the evening.”

Li Hongshen couldn't help laughing when he heard Li Zian's words: "Why did you still coax my child?"

Li Zian looked at Li Hongshen and raised his eyebrows, "Don't treat you like a child, but treat you like a daughter-in-law."
