take a wife to support the family

Chapter 165

Two years ago, Song Haonian would rather run outside with Liu Yi for many years than go home.When I got home, it was either the cold face of my parents, brother or sister-in-law, or the broken thatched hut and cold pot and stove. It was chilling to look at.

Now, even though he is away from home, he misses his home with all his heart. Every time he comes back, Lily can give him some new surprises.

This time the surprise was even more frightening—his daughter-in-law co-founded a vermicelli workshop with Liu's mansion without saying a word. They opened a tofu shop and borrowed Liu's mansion's money and already paid back five guan, and the remaining ten guan will be used later. Just deduct from the workshop interest.

Not only can you pay off your debts, but you can also bring a lot of benefits to your own family. People say that "a good wife and husband will bring less misfortune", and a good wife in the family can prosper the family.

We haven't seen each other for a few months, Song Haonian and Baihe have a lot to say.One thing must be asked: When he was away, did anyone come to make trouble?

Lily smiled and told him about the fight between Song Xiuxiu and Lamei, "It doesn't matter if the little girl bickers and fights."

Song Haonian said: "Lamei looks shy, but also has a violent temper. Xiuxiu is someone else's wife, so don't worry, you think she is still young? Her parents-in-law don't treat her like a child."

Lily hadn't seen Song Xiuxiu for several days, and didn't take her seriously. She just stared at the potatoes and peppers that Song Haonian brought back, and sighed again: "These potatoes will leave seeds for next year, so take care of them." Put it next to the sweet potatoes in the cellar, and eat shredded potatoes at the end of the year, and don’t dare to touch anything else.”

Song Haonian couldn't help laughing: "I've never seen you so happy when buying gold and silver jewelry."

"Of course I'm also happy to see gold and silver jewelry, but those things can't be eaten or drank. After all, these things are the capital of the family. We will rely on them to get rich in the future."

She is now a mixed stock in the vermicelli workshop. In addition to sweet potato flour, she can also make potato flour. As long as there are raw materials, it is very convenient to make anything she wants.

It's strange to say that after Song Haonian returned home, life was still the same, business was still going on as usual, but Lily found it more interesting.Lamei said: "You are only five percent happy on weekdays, but when your brother-in-law comes back, you become very happy. How can I not be as good as you?"

Lily smiled: "Why are you in my eyes? You can be in Xiaofu's eyes."

Lamei stomped her feet and walked out, unexpectedly Wang Xiaofu was coming from outside, and the two of them almost collided, Wang Xiaofu quickly asked: "What's wrong with you, Lamei? Did you just hit somewhere? Are you scared?"

There is really only one Lamei in those eyes, and there is no one else.

Lily pursed her lips and smiled aside, Lamei became more and more ashamed, glared at Wang Xiaofu and said, "You're the only one who talks too much!" Flicking her braids, she went into the shop.

Wang Xiaofu didn't know why, he looked at Lamei's back and then at Lily, not knowing whether he should catch up or talk about business.

"Sister-in-law, how are you doing uncle these two days?" Wang Xiaofu collected himself and finally decided to talk about business.

Seeing that his expression was different from the past, Lily knew that there must be something important, and she smiled and led him to Li Mi's house: "Father, Xiaofu wants to talk to you."

Lily could guess Wang Xiaofu's purpose, Zhu Shi is not stupid, she was picking locust tree leaves at the kitchen door, when she saw Wang Xiaofu coming in, she put down her work and slipped into the east chamber, watching Wang Xiaofu and Li Baimian.

"Mom, why do you do half of your work?" Lily deliberately helped Wang Xiaofu, trying to call Zhu out.

Zhu said: "Lazy girl, will you die of exhaustion if you work by yourself? Don't think about always relying on my mother, and do things by yourself!"

Lily was speechless, so she had to sort the leaves of the locust tree by herself.

It turned out that she wanted to make pagoda leaf Lengtao noodles today, so she asked Song Haonian to pick a lot of fresh leaves, sort out the tender leaves and squeeze the juice, so that they can be kneaded in the noodles to adjust the color.

Song Haonian went over to help, the two lowered their heads to sort the leaves and branches inside the bamboo plaque, their fingers touched each other from time to time, Song Haonian, a shameless person, hooked his fingers into Lily's palm, and Lily patted the back of his hand: "What are you doing? Work hard!"

He said innocently: "I'm not doing work?" It seemed that the messy hand didn't grow on him.

Obviously he just picked a few leaves to hold hands, but this person didn't know which orifice was opened, and Lily's face was red, his bones were tender and his waist was soft, and he said softly, "Don't make trouble in sunny days!"

Only then did Song Haonian laugh.

He heard his laughter in the East Chamber, and Carpenter Li called: "Dear year, big girl, you all come in."

Lily was so curious that she trotted into the house, while Mrs. Zhu was sitting on the edge of the kang puffed up, while Wang Xiaofu was standing on the ground smiling. to cry.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

Carpenter Li quietly wiped away his tears and said: "I promised Sanniu to Xiaofu, and I will ask someone to propose a marriage tomorrow, you two get ready."

Song Haonian was first happy for the sworn brothers: "Don't worry, this matter is on me!"

Mrs. Zhu gave Song Haonian a hard look, and muttered: "It's all the meat that fell from my stomach. I can't even shoot or beat, and I can't even say a word..."

Lily knew that she was unwilling, and at this moment the men were very happy, and it was a disappointment to keep her here, so she hurriedly said: "Mom, there are so many people in my family that I can't make it, so I need your help."

Mrs. Zhu was a bit proud: "I can roll noodles for a large family of ten people when I was 12 years old. You can learn a little bit." He was taken to the kitchen by Lily, and those men discussed the marriage between Wang Xiaofu and Lamei.

Pound tender locust leaves into juice, filter it with gauze, mix the juice with water to knead the flour, and the flour will turn crisp green.Roll out the noodles into a very large and thin sheet, and cut them into filaments with a knife.

Boil it thoroughly in boiling water, pick it up and soak it in cold water, the color is bright blue.Then pick up and drain, burn some rapeseed oil and let it cool, mix it in the noodles to avoid sticking, if you want to cool it down, hang it into the well for a while.

Then use minced green onion, ginger, garlic, autumn oil, vinegar, pepper powder and other things to make a juice, and rub some courgette shreds into it to make a yard.

In addition, mix kimchi, take a few vegetables and serve with crispy braised pig ears, which is most suitable for some sweltering weather.

Lily put the rice in the east chamber, but Lamei hadn't come back yet, Lily said: "Let's eat first, don't be afraid to let this stuff go, if San Niu doesn't come back after a while, I'll go to the store to deliver the food to her."

Wang Xiaofu said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll send it to Lamei."

Song Haonian nodded: "Anyway, what we have to say is settled, you can call a matchmaker to come to your door tomorrow."

Lily went to the kitchen, took a few big bowls, put two bowls of noodles and two vegetables, put them in a basket, covered them with gauze, and handed them to Wang Xiaofu: "Go to the store to eat by yourself, if you still feel that it is not enough, you can eat the bean curd as you like." You eat."

Wang Xiaofu has a happy event today, everyone is pleasing to the eye, and said with a smile: "Thank you sister-in-law for loving us."

Lily pursed her lips and smiled: "I don't know whether to call her sister-in-law or elder sister in the future."

According to the relationship between Wang Xiaofu and Song Haonian, it is natural to call her sister-in-law, but if it is according to Lamei, doesn't it have to be called eldest sister?

A few people in the family sat down to eat, and Zhu asked, "Big girl, do you keep your word?"

"What?"

"You said earlier that we don't need to care about Sanniu's dowry..." Mrs. Zhu is actually a very far-sighted person. Everyone here is happy that Lamei's marriage has been settled. This betting money—girls are losers, and if they have money, they will leave it to Qingsong.

"Old woman, what are you talking about!" Carpenter Li Bamboo came to his senses and quickly stopped.

Not to mention that Lamei is his own daughter, he also loves her, how can a daughter who is married and becomes a father not pretend?Even if the big girl is willing to pay for the dowry, he has to let go of his old face.

"These days, don't we eat and drink big girls? You are not happy enough to eat a married girl as a family, and you want to ask big girls to wrap up the dowry of the third girl?"

Zhu was not convinced: "It's not that I put a knife on her neck and asked her to give Sanniu a dowry, but she said that Sanniu's marriage is not for us to decide, and we don't have to pay for the dowry."

Lily sighed, she really felt that getting angry with this mother is also gray hair, so it's better to take care of herself, so as not to get sick from anger.

Carpenter Li pointed at Mrs. Zhu, but couldn't say a word. The cold and fragrant noodles tasted bitter in his mouth: a son is a human being, but a daughter is not a human being, so should I call my parents to spoil me?

Lily was afraid that Carpenter Li, who had been seriously injured, would get angry again, so she quickly said, "Don't worry, Dad, I said this, and I will pay Sanniu's dowry."

Song Haonian nodded at the side, he had already prepared his young couple to give his sister-in-law a dowry, it was not surprising at all.

Li bamboo craftsman said: "We are your mother, just like the blood-sucking leech, can't you let go? You should also take care of some big girls in the new year. Your mother's family lives in your house all day long and eats you." If you want to drink yours, you still have to pay San Niu a dowry, are you stupid?"

He had never blushed with anyone in his life, and now he said sternly, not to mention Bai He and Song Haonian, even Zhu Shi was a little confused: The old man has such a temper!
Li Bamboo Carpenter sighed: "Don't ask people to take advantage of you because of your kindness."

Lily knew that her father was a sensible person, so she asked: "Father, think about it, do you still have money at home?"

Carpenter Li was stunned, looking at Mrs. Zhu, the money of the Li family was managed by Mrs. Zhu, and Carpenter Li had no money.

Mrs. Zhu sat with her head downcast, and said angrily, "No money! You've wiped out all your family's money because of this trouble!"

In fact, it has not reached the level of hollowing out the Li family, but the Zhu family is always ready to leave a part of the family property for Qingsong.

Lily said: "Father, don't argue with me. Now you and your mother's old-age money is spent on medical treatment, where can you get San Niu's dowry money? In the future, your legs will be fine. , if there is a slight mistake, your pension will be a problem. Even if you have some money on hand, you can take it safe and save it for old age.”

Mrs. Zhu kept nodding: "Raise children for old age, don't leave money to Qingsong, what will Qingsong use to support us in the future?"

What Lily said was one truth, what Zhu Shi said was completely another fallacy, Lily couldn't help but rolled her eyes, and said to Zhu Shi: "You can shut up, don't talk any more, I just search your box. You can get a dowry worth two pennies for San Niu!"
