Chapter 356 Two Envelopes
Little boy, I can't break you.Seeing her daughter running away in despair, Bai Xiulan smiled unscrupulously.Hearing the sound of closing the door of the outer room again, the smile on her face disappeared instantly.

After looking down at the couple of children on the kang for a while, Bai Xiulan looked up at a certain corner of the roof shed in a daze, as if after a long time, she sat up again.

When she got up, she glanced at a pair of children and helped them tuck up the quilt, then quickly went down to a pair of wooden boxes stacked against the wall.

Reaching out to lift up a wooden box on the top, and then moved it to the side, Bai Xiulan took out two letters from the joint of the two boxes in a very large number.

From the dim light from an oil lamp in the room, it can be seen that there is no postage stamp on the envelope, only a few words written on the addressee column on the front of the envelope.

Moving back to the box, Bai Xiulan took the two envelopes and returned to the kang.This time she didn't go directly to the kang, but sat on the edge of the kang next to the oil lamp.

Putting the envelope on the kang first, she took an envelope, pulled out a half-folded letter paper from the torn end, opened it and read it again, and a sigh sounded in the room.

Then he picked up another envelope on the kang, and pulled out a half-folded letter paper from the obviously torn end. This time, there was no more sighing in the room.

Only a vague murmur to himself sounded out: "That's fine too... Promising but not promising... It's good to be able to stand firm... Heartless... It's always..."

Outside the window, Xu Changqing looked up at the night sky.After standing for a while, she turned her head and seemed to move her neck before leaving the yard lightly.

There is no tofu workshop in Baizigou. It can be said that apart from farming, there is almost no commercial processing in the team. At present, only the mill can be regarded as a workshop.

Moreover, this mill is still produced intermittently by donkeys pulling the mill, and only processes the grains produced by the team to meet the self-sufficiency of the members of the team.

This is not bad, there is still a formal place for intermittent production, and it takes some effort to pull the grain over, and the noodles can be ground and brought back later.

It is much better than the seasonal flour mills in the team. The latter depends on the situation of the year, and depends on the number of households that need to be processed to meet the opening requirements.

For example, this year, the noodle shop in the brigade did not open due to insufficient number of processing households, and those who needed to process it directly bought potatoes and sweet potatoes from the noodle shop in the Xiangyang Brigade, which is the nearest.

This year, the tofu shop almost closed due to insufficient number of processing households. It is said that the tofu shop of the Xiangyang Brigade was too busy these days to not open.

After all, in the few days before the new year, every household needs to use new year tofu regardless of the conditions, so it suddenly announced its opening on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month.

This tofu shop is still located in Pianxiazi, the team yard, which is where Xu Ergen resides after winter. Although the house is a bit low, it is a rare and good place.

In winter, the nights are long, and if there is not enough firewood for each household, the house will naturally be cold, and there is a big Kang in the house in this partial building, and the firewood has never been cut off.

When Xu Changqing came over, he saw a bonfire lit in the team yard. Several torches and indoor lights shone on each other, and it was clearly visible that a millstone and a cauldron were placed outside.

It was nearly nine o'clock at night, and there was still a hustle and bustle of people, it was extremely lively, with people carrying water, washing beans, grinding, and cooking pots.

Apparently, someone had already sent soaked soybeans, and the pulp had been ground. The first batch of tofu processing teams had already started to work.

Xu Changqing looked around, but she didn't see Bai Chenggang or Xu Changhe inside, so she knew that when it was her turn, it wasn't too late.

Xu was in a panic here, and she didn't find her second grandfather Xu Ergen who was resident in the team yard here, let alone her grandfather Xu Dagen, and naturally she didn't find her grandma either.

In addition, there was no little old lady present, so Xu Changqing guessed that the reason why her grandma hadn't come home was probably because she went to chat with the old sisters.

In such a lively place, it doesn't matter if Bai Chenggang and Xu Changhe are not present, there are some brats here, so Xu Changqing caught her uncle's old son.

a question?
Only then did she make sure that her grandma had gone to the house of the fifth grandma who was closest to the team yard, so she would not go.Some things can be hidden from outsiders, but not from the parties involved.

Her fifth grandmother is her brother Huzi's biological grandmother.This little old lady's sons are all grandparents, and she consults with her about everything, which shows how powerful she is.

Brother Shen privately helped the little old lady connect her eldest son and grandson to the county transportation team. The little old lady knew about it, and she was even more enthusiastic to her.

Every time she saw her, her Fifth Grandma's eyes lit up as if seeing a treasure, she was so frightening, it was better for her not to go, and when she did, she grabbed her hand and wouldn't let go.

Stuffed a piece of candy into the little cousin's mouth, and asked him to run over. The fifth grandma told their grandma that she was already at the team yard, so Xu Changqing went to Bai's house first.

Bai Chenggang is not at home at this time.During the day, he soaked the soybeans that he made tofu this year in a bucket, and brought them to his uncle's house before dark.

Fortunately, the two families were separated by his second uncle, and when he heard someone calling out whether Brother Gangzi was at home or not, and listening to the voice, Bai Chenggang knew that it was Tie Hanhan who had come.

His uncle's house is not like his aunt's house with a few months old children. Bai Chenggang immediately shouted loudly that he was on this side.

While shouting, he rushed out of the outhouse first before putting on his coat, so that Tie Hanhan would not run around looking for him when he was deaf for a while and thought he was not at home.

"Why did you run out? Didn't I say I would call you at twelve o'clock? You said you are so heartless, what are you doing out so early, you have time to go out after sleeping."

"..." Xu Changqing was about to ask why he was here, but she was greeted with a scolding, the question is when did you mention to me to call me at twelve o'clock?
It's wrong.

"Oh, I'm so mad, what are you still doing?" Bai Cheng just turned around when Tie Hanhan didn't follow, so angry that he had to turn around and drag her to follow.

Xu Changqing was speechless, let you say everything, I haven't had time to speak, okay? "Where's your coat, it doesn't matter if you just run back first?"

"I'm not just your little girl. I'm just a few steps away, and I can't freeze at all. I haven't said why I ran out in the middle of the night. What do you think you are doing out in the middle of the night?"

Little girl again, big girl!Xu Changqing couldn't help giving him a blank look, "Come out to look for my grandma, I just came to look for you before I saw you, okay?"

"Oh." Bai Chenggang nodded, "No wonder. I said I had already made an agreement with your grandma, why did you run out now. My aunt is the only one in the house now?"

"And Xiao Yuanyuan and the others are at home."

"Tsk, it's fine if you understand it. Okay, I understand. I mean the two of them should be asleep at this time. Why did you come out, not my aunt?"
