Seeing Dongbao, Li Hongqin looked a little better. He showed Dongbao a basin. The basin was used to hold bean paste. It was placed in the shop. There was a public spoon in the basin. Anyone who wanted to eat it could use the spoon to scoop it up. Put it in your own bowl.

"It's gone so soon?" Dong Bao said in surprise, there was only half a pot in the pot, and she just fried a whole pot of sauce last night.

Li Hongqin sighed, and curled her lips in the direction of the shop, "A few daughters-in-law came, and six or seven of them ordered a bowl of bean curd, and the sorghum noodle pancakes they brought, and we ate half a pot of sauce! They all tasted it." Taste, they are fine, eat desperately, if I hadn't taken the basin away, this basin would not be enough for them to eat!"

Aunt Qiuxia came out of the kitchen after hearing this, looked at the basin in Li Hongqin's hand, shook her head and said, "Why are you so cheeky? It's obvious that you came here to eat our bean paste for free!"

"Auntie, don't be angry." Dong Bao smiled, "After they leave, bring out the sauce." After all, they are customers, and they can't be driven away. Besides, the sauce is there for people to eat for free, and they are generous. You can't do anything to them if you are shameless.

Li Hongqin went into the kitchen angrily with a basin, while Dongbao went to the shop. As soon as he entered the room, he heard a daughter-in-law in her thirties laughing at Li Shi: "Big sister, your sauce is really good." Eat it, I can't make such a delicious one, do you have any more, give me some to take home!"

Li's complexion is not very good-looking, but she is not a hot-tempered person, and she can't speak harsh words, so she forced a smile and said: "Elder sister is joking, who doesn't have sauce! I must be used to eating at home." Yes, it’s good to taste other people’s food!”

Dong Bao pulled Li Shi's hand, she knew that Li Shi felt distressed, a bowl of bean curd could not earn a penny, but these people ate half a jar of bean paste fried in oil, no matter what, it was their loss.

The women were obviously from farming families, and they were invited to go to the town to go to the market together, and their trousers and shoes were still stained with yellow mud.Several people asked for a bowl of bean curd, drank a few sips in turn, got together for a while, and then got up and left.

Only now did Li Hongqin take out the basin and put it back on the table.When Lotus came to clean up the dishes, she said with a headache, "I can't do anything to meet this thick-skinned person. Just now, the wife asked Aunt Li to make some bean paste for them to take away. How can I open my mouth!"

"Forget it." Li said with a smile, "This kind of people is still a minority, and most of them are not like them. We have been marinating bean paste for a long time, and we only meet a few of them."

Dong Bao shook his head, "The sauce came out a little too fast, and we have to let people eat it. Let's fry it later, and fry it at home according to the original method. Put it in the shop, put less oil and more salt. alright."

Mrs. Li said with a smile: "It's a good idea. If you make it saltier, you can eat less. Otherwise, you would have to spend half a can of bean paste a day, which is full of oil and beans. It's a lot of money!"

Dong Bao also laughed, wondering whether he had taken another step towards becoming a "profiteer".

Time passed quickly, and it was August in a blink of an eye. The corn stalks in the fields faded from their green color, and the green gauze tents turned into yellow gauze tents. The autumn harvest season is coming soon.

During this period, Dongbao lived a peaceful life, Song Bai was studying in the academy honestly, Song's second aunt was confinement at home, and the eldest and the second Mao were afraid that Quanzi Shuanzi would trouble them, so they didn't dare to eat and drink. As for Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Song, they couldn't even see each other, and they couldn't stop Dong Bao and Mrs. Li's hearts.

After knowing that Second Aunt Song's child was gone, Mrs. Li and Dong Bao brought fifty eggs and a pack of brown sugar back to Tagouji, but she didn't use the old clothes she had prepared for the child.

Dong Bao felt that Li's heart was very eager to have more children, not because of the pursuit of boys, but because he liked children, but it was a pity that Li had only one daughter, Dong Bao, for so many years, and now Song Xiucai was dead. Even more, it cut off Li's way to have a child.

Originally, Mrs. Li wanted to bring a hundred eggs to Aunt Song, but was persuaded by Dong Bao. Although a hundred eggs were nothing to them, Dong Bao didn't want Mrs. Li to walk out of the Song family. I started to say that my sister-in-law is rich, and I don't pay attention to such eggs.

After entering the door, Mrs. Huang accepted the eggs and brown sugar brought back by Mrs. Li indifferently. She was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Li for only giving these things. She felt that Mrs. Li made so much money in a day, but gave them so little .

And Second Aunt Song is even more weird. Dong Bao originally thought that she would be very sad and decadent after losing her child who was pregnant in October, but as soon as she entered the door, she heard Second Aunt Song scolding Song Zhaodi angrily. It turned out that the egg tea that Song Zhaodi brought into the house was broken eggs washed in boiling water, but Second Aunt Song felt that the egg tea that was brought was too small, and it didn't seem like it was enough for two eggs.

"The eggs my grandma gave were small! I didn't steal them!" Song Zhaodi argued, seeing Li Shi and Dong Bao coming in, she gave Dong Bao a look, bowed her head and left without even saying hello.

"If you didn't steal those two eggs, why are they the same as one?" Second Aunt Song shouted loudly, as if she wished that the whole village could hear it, "Whoever makes confinement for a wife is said to be two eggs?" Huh? Don't you think it's embarrassing!"

If in the past, Second Aunt Song accused Sang and scolded Huai so much that the Huang family had treated her harshly, the Huang family would have started scolding her long ago, and in the end would have threatened Second Aunt Song to go back to her mother's house if she thought the Song family was not doing well, but today Second Aunt Song called After a long time, there was no movement in the main room, which was not like Huang's style.

Dong Bao and Li Shi glanced at each other, and at the same time saw their own answer in each other's eyes, Huang Shi was guilty, drowned his daughter-in-law's child, and made a mistake in front of his daughter-in-law, and his confidence was not so hard, probably also. I'm afraid Second Aunt Song will yell about this matter everywhere.

"Sister-in-law, Dongbao, you are here!" Second Aunt Song greeted, "Come on, sit on the bed. Dongbao, Auntie doesn't have anything here. I ask you to keep everything. I want to treat you to a bowl of brown sugar water." No, don't dislike Auntie!"

Mrs. Li sighed, and looked at Second Aunt Song reproachfully, "Second Aunt! Why do you say everything in front of the child?"

"Oh." Second Aunt Song also sighed, "I'm not angry! Just look at her, and I'll tell you, my child... forget it, put everything in my hand , I'm so mean, I'm afraid we stole something, I think she is going to take it into the coffin and chew it!" At the end, Second Aunt Song already had a gritted look on her teeth.

Mrs. Li pushed Dongbao and asked Dongbao to go out first. Dongbao knew that Mrs. Li wanted to talk to Second Aunt Song alone, so she tried to persuade her, and the room was stuffy and smelly, so Dongbao went out. He also didn't say hello to the grandma in the main room, and went directly to the Lin's house to find Quanzi to play with.

"How is your body?" Li asked.

Second Aunt Song said in dissatisfaction: "What can I do, I can't even eat an egg. It took me a long time to get a bowl of egg tea, and it's still not enough!"

Seeing her full of energy, she only disliked that she didn't eat well. She really didn't look like a person who lost her beloved son and was depressed, so there was no need to persuade her.

Mrs. Li told her a few polite words, telling her to take good care of her body, and she would have children in the future, so she came out, went to Lin's house and called Dong Bao out.

"I don't think Second Aunt is sad at all." Dong Bao said, Second Aunt Song should be the same type of person as Huang's, and they both value boys over girls. You can see that Second Aunt Song was so determined to expect that she was pregnant with a son when she was pregnant. Well, maybe she also acquiesced to Huang's approach.

Mrs. Li hummed and said nothing else. She didn't know that Dong Bao already knew that Second Aunt Song's youngest daughter was drowned by Mrs. Huang, not from illness.

Not long after Mrs. Li and Dongbao left, Aunt Qiuxia came back, and Lin Fu asked her, "Ms. Xiucai and Dongbao went to see Song's second son and his wife just now. Would you like to go and see her? Why, at least we have been neighbors for decades, so we can't face it."

"Go, I'll go after I'm done with the work at hand." Aunt Qiuxia sighed, thinking of the baby girl drowned by Mrs. Huang, and such a terrible thing happened next door to her house, Qiuxia's heart shuddered. Terrific, even having nightmares for several nights, I don't really want to visit Second Aunt Song who is confinement.

When Aunt Qiuxia passed by, it was already dark.In the West Wing of the Song family, only Song Zhaodi was taking care of Second Aunt Song. Song Yu was not there, so she must have gone out for a stroll after dinner. I don’t know whose house she was chatting with, and the big one and Ermao were nowhere to be seen.

"Hey, sister-in-law is here!" Second Aunt Song's eyes lit up when she saw Qiuxia, and she greeted her enthusiastically, "Zhaodi, hurry up, make brown sugar water for your aunt!"

"Don't be too busy." Aunt Qiuxia stopped Song Zhaodi and said with a smile, "Auntie is not an outsider, so she sat down and said a few words to your mother and then went back. She didn't drink water, and left the brown sugar for your mother to replenish her body."

Second Aunt Song smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, we are not outsiders, so we don't need to be so outsiders."

"Are you okay?" Qiuxia asked politely.

"Okay, very good!" Second Aunt Song smiled, "I am confinement this year, thanks to my daughter! Even though I am only twelve or thirteen, she can do more than me, and I rely on her to serve me."

Aunt Qiuxia smiled and said, "It's good to have a daughter! I envy people who have daughters. Girls are caring and close to mother!"

"It's the same without a girl and a daughter-in-law!" Second Aunt Song smiled, and winked at Song Zhaodi who was standing beside her, "Go boil some water in the kitchen, I'll wash my feet later."

Song Zhaodi responded and left.

As early as Second Aunt Song was talking, Aunt Qiuxia had a bad feeling, she stood up and said with a smile, "You are busy, I will go first."

Unexpectedly, Second Aunt Song quickly grabbed her, and forced her to sit on the bedside, "Sister-in-law, you are very busy now, and we sisters don't have time to talk properly."
