Xie Jiaojiao carried the tofu delivered by Zhang Doufu in the afternoon and walked home with Sun Ruhua and Xie Zhiyi.
Sun Ruhua followed behind, timidly and weakly, thinking that she was her daughter and Xie Jiaojiao was her mother!
When she got home, Xie Jiaojiao sat on a stool in the room and said nothing.
She didn't speak, and Xie Zhiyi and Sun Ruhua didn't dare to speak. In the end, Xie Zhiyi pulled Sun Ruhua's hand and asked her to say something.
Sun Ruhua hesitated again and again, and just said: "You haven't eaten yet, mother will cook."
Xie Jiaojiao spoke at this time: "Mother!"
Sun Ruhua turned around and saw Xie Jiaojiao looking at her, and hurriedly explained: "They dragged my mother in today, and she didn't take the initiative to come to the door."
After saying that, he stood there, helpless, his eyes red again.
Xie Jiaojiao couldn't help but feel a little distressed. This mother has been very kind to her in the past few months, but...
"Mom, I'm not angry because they are looking for you or you are looking for them..."
Sun Ruhua looked at Xie Jiaojiao's wrinkled face with a look of grievance.
Xie Jiaojiao stood up and walked to Sun Ruhua: "What makes me angry is that you actually seek death!"
Sun Ruhua looked at Xie Jiaojiao: "Mother, mother too..." She didn't know what to do, she just wanted to prove her innocence.
Xie Jiaojiao held her shoulders: "If you die, have you ever thought about me? Have you ever thought about Zhiyi?"
Sun Ruhua lowered her head and looked at Xie Zhiyi, and Xie Zhiyi also looked at her.
"You died, do you think those heartless people in the old house would feel sorry for you? Would they feel bad because they had wronged you?"
When Xie Jiaojiao said this, Sun Ruhua covered her mouth with her hands and started crying again. Thinking about how the housekeeper had wronged her and forced her today, her heart ached to death!
Those are the two pieces of meat that fell off her body!
He actually wronged her in front of so many people!
That means wanting her life!
Xie Jiaojiao continued: "Mom, no matter what happens to you in the future, you can no longer seek death. If you die, Zhiyi and I will be the only ones who feel uncomfortable and sad! Do you know?"
Sun Ruhua nodded while crying.
Xie Zhiyi hugged her legs and suddenly started crying: "Mom, you really scared me to death today. I don't have a father. Do you still think that I don't have a mother? Ugh..."
Sun Ruhua patted his back gently and said nothing.
Xie Jiaojiao wiped her tears, and Sun Ruhua looked at Xie Jiaojiao and couldn't help but laugh again.
Xie Jiaojiao was speechless: "Mom, are you crying or laughing? Zhiyi is still crying!"
Sun Ruhua herself wiped away the tears on her face with her sleeves, and said in a nasal voice: "Mother is sad and happy at the same time. I just heard what you said. I really didn't think about you today. I shouldn't seek death. I'm happy." What's more, we Jiaojiao have grown up! Even if we get married in the future, we will definitely not feel wronged."
"Mom, why are you talking about me again!"
Sun Ruhua patted Xie Zhiyi on the back: "Okay, okay, isn't mother fine now? You haven't eaten yet, mother will go and cook for you now!"
Sun Ruhua sniffed as she went to the kitchen.
Xie Jiaojiao was a little helpless, what a cheap girl! It needs to be reformed!
When Xie Zhiyi saw Sun Ruhua leaving, he walked up to Xie Jiaojiao and reached out to pull her hanging hand.
Xie Jiaojiao looked down at him: "What's wrong?"
"Sister, don't be angry with mother."
Xie Jiaojiao reached out and touched his face: "Sister, you're not angry! You go and light the fire for mom, and I'll go to the backyard and pick up two buckets of water."
Seeing that Xie Jiaojiao didn't seem to be lying, Xie Zhiyi left immediately.
Xie Jiaojiao came back with two buckets of water.
By the firelight in the kitchen, Sun Ruhua saw many jars placed on the kitchen floor.
"Why are there so many jars?"
Xie Jiaojiao then explained: "Today, shopkeeper Chen from Qingfeng Tower came to me and ordered another ten jars of bean curd, and..."
Xie Jiaojiao ran back to the house and took some broken silver coins to Sun Ruhua: "Today the rabbit was sold for two coins, and shopkeeper Chen gave half of the deposit for the fermented bean curd. But when I bought the tofu, I gave a deposit of one coin. This is The rest, Nuo, is for you!"
Sun Ruhua didn't expect that this girl would go to town for a day and not only sell rabbits, but also bring back such a large amount of business. After taking over the few small silver coins, she felt that she had forgotten all the unpleasant things that happened in the afternoon!
"Why did the tofu boss say he would send tofu to our house today? I thought he sent it by mistake!"
"He will send some more tomorrow."
Sun Ruhua nodded, lowered her head and picked up all the jars on the ground: "Then you eat, and mom will wash all these jars, and then the water will dry and be used!"
"You don't want to eat?"
"I ate it at your Aunt Wang's house!"
Sleepless night.
When we got together the next day, the family got busy. Xie Jiaojiao cut the tofu into small pieces and steamed it in a pot. Xie Zhiyi helped light the fire, and Sun Ruhua made a few more bamboo pieces.
Mrs. Wang's house was bustling with activity early in the morning. All the villagers went there to get a wedding drink at noon, but Xie Jiaojiao and the others did not go.
Xie Jiaojiao originally said to go, but Sun Ruhua refused to go, saying she didn't want to see those unfilial dogs in the old house.
She said, okay, it’s not like I’ve never had good food, so I won’t go if I don’t want to go!
Xie Jiaojiao took out almost a pound of brown sugar and asked Xie Zhiyi to send it over as a gift.
At noon, Zhang Tofu's wife and Zhang Tofu came together to deliver the tofu.
Sun Ruhua looked at Zhang Tofu's wife very apologetically: "Sister, what happened yesterday caused you trouble!"
Zhang Tofu's wife waved her hands indifferently and said it was nothing, but finally said to Sun Ruhua: "But Sister Sun, your two sons are really nothing!"
After she said this, Sun Ruhua's face didn't look good.
Xie Jiaojiao took a look and said from the side: "Aunt Zhang is right. Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili are indeed not the same thing, but that has nothing to do with our family. We have broken off our relationship with them."
When Zhang Tofu's wife heard this, she was speechless. She glanced at Sun Ruhua with some sympathy, and finally followed Zhang Tofu away.
Xie Jiaojiao snorted in her heart, who is Yin and Yang? She took Sun Ruhua back to the house and continued working!
The family worked hard for a whole day to finish all the tofu. Sun Ruhua couldn't straighten her back. Xie Zhiyi pressed the button for her thoughtfully.
Sun Ruhua looked at Xie Jiaojiao and said, "This tofu looks easy to make, but it's still a bit tiring!"
No, Xie Jiaojiao thought for a while: "Mom, let's go to town tomorrow and ask the lady who sells steamed buns if she has any extra steamers. If so, we'll buy two of them so that we don't have to worry about them one by one in the future. It’s troublesome to steam and it’s a waste of firewood!”
Sun Ruhua thought it was right, but then she thought: "After this time, will Qingfenglou come to us to order fermented bean curd? If we don't buy it back, he won't be sure again!"
"Don't worry, we will make another reservation."
"Okay, then my mother will go early tomorrow morning and buy you some meat to improve the food."
Xie Zhiyi was very happy when he heard that he wanted to eat meat again.
