Chapter 16 Making Candied Haws

Next, pour the rock sugar into the pot, add the same amount of water, heat over medium heat, and stir slowly with a spoon to speed up the dissolution of the rock sugar.

When all the rock sugar has dissolved, turn to low heat and heat slowly. This time is a bit long, about seven or eight minutes.

Carefully observe the foam in the sugar liquid. When the color of the sugar liquid turns slightly yellow and the foam is numerous and crowded, it is almost ready. Put the skewered hawthorns in and roll them quickly. Take them out and put them on an oiled iron plate. Let them solidify in a cold place for 10 minutes.

Mi Xia made about ten sticks, "Sister-in-law, I'm done, you try it, I'll take two more and give them to Mo Haoyue and Xia Xia."

Zhang Hongxia took a look at the iron plate and saw that there were still several pieces left before she started eating.

"Little sister, it's delicious. Your cooking skills are amazing. How come you can cook everything?"

"There are still a lot of materials. I'll teach you later." Mi Xia said with a smile.

"Okay, when I learn how to make it, I'll cook it for the kids."

Sister-in-law, you eat first, I will make dinner. ”

In the evening, Mi Xia made porridge, put some wild vegetables and white flour pancakes on it, and roasted some sweet potatoes. Mi Xia especially liked roasted sweet potatoes and had eaten them often before she traveled through time.

After Mi Qiu and his nephews come back.

Mi Xia: "Jianguo, there are some candied haws in the kitchen, take them out and share them with your brothers and sisters."

When the children heard the word "tanghulu", their eyes lit up. In this era, tanghulu was considered a high-end snack.

"Aunt, it's great to have you around. Not only can we eat meat regularly, but now we can also eat candied haws." Mi Weiguo said.

"Then you must all respect and honor your aunt from now on, understand?" Zhang Hongxia said seriously.

"Mom, we will be filial to aunt just like we were to you and dad." Mi Aiguo promised seriously.

Mi Qiu nodded with relief.

Mo Haoyue was very happy because his wife was very capable.

When the family was happily having dinner, there was a hurried knock on the door. Mi Qiu ran to open the door, thinking it was a neighbor visiting.

As soon as the door opened, I heard a burst of cursing.

"Okay, Mi Xia, you little bitch, you instigated my son and left me as soon as you came back. My son used to give me all his salary, but now he only gives me five dollars a month."

"It must be you, little bitch, who instigated me. How could you be so mean?"

Xu Cuihua immediately sat on the ground and began to cry fake tears, clapping her hands and cursing: "Oh, how could you be so blind to marry such a troublemaker? I didn't want to marry her at the beginning, but the child's grandfather insisted on marrying her. Now you come to sow discord between us mother and son."

"I bought a bicycle and instead of sending it home, I sent it to your house, a little bitch."

Many people came to the door to watch the fun, and Xu Cuihua cursed even more happily.

"Everyone come and see, don't look for a daughter-in-law like this. My son and I are separated. I buy bicycles and send them to this little bitch's house." Xu Cuihua cursed and glared at her fiercely, her eyes full of disgust.

When Mo Zhixia heard her grandmother's voice, she was so scared that she hid behind Mi Xia. Mi Xia only heard people talking about her at the door. She felt depressed and uncomfortable in her heart, so she hugged Mo Zhixia tightly.

Mi Xia glared and was about to retort, but Mi Jianguo and the others picked up stones from the ground and threw them at Xu Cuihua.

Zhang Hongxia and Mi Qiuxiao held brooms and shovels and said, "I'll beat you to death, you old witch, for talking nonsense."

Zhang Hongxia picked up the broom and scratched Xu Cuihua's face. Mo Haoyue ignored her and just stood aside and watched coldly.

"Oh, old man, are you blind? Oh... They are going to beat me to death." Xu Cuihua screamed like a ghost after being beaten.

Mo Haoyue glanced at Mi Qiu, and Mi Qiu pulled Zhang Hongxia back.

Mo Haoyue said, "Mom, do you have to make such a scene? Don't you know why Mi Xia is at her parents' home? I'm married, but I still give you my salary. How do you treat my wife, my daughter?"

"Do you really think I don't know? I just returned to the village, and the villagers told me about it. But I didn't tell them because you are my mother and you raised me."

"Why are you making trouble here? Mi Xia is my wife, shouldn't I buy her a bicycle? You've forced my wife to go back to her parents' home, shouldn't I give her my salary? Do you really want to break up your son's family?"

The more Mo Haoyue said, the uglier Xu Cuihua's face became. She knew in her heart how badly she treated the original owner.

After Mo Haoyue finished speaking, he angrily took Xu Cuihua away. The Mi family had no appetite to eat anymore.

"Little sister, you've suffered so much in the Mo family. It's all your fault. I didn't protect you well." A big man said while shedding tears.

Mi Xia was deeply moved when she saw that her eldest brother's family, even the boys, were protecting her and Xia Xia.

"It's okay, big brother. It's all over. From now on, our family will get better and better."

"What about Mo Haoyue? What do you think? If it doesn't work out, we can divorce him and let Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law support you."

"As long as your elder brother and I have enough to eat, you and Xia Xia won't be left hungry." Zhang Hongxia said while choking up.

Mi Xia just felt her heart soften and warm.

"Sister-in-law, these things have nothing to do with Mo Haoyue. He is very good to me. He will protect us mother and daughter in the future. Let's eat quickly. The food is almost cold." Mi Xia calmly and calmly invited everyone to eat.

"Aunt, I will protect you from now on." Mi Aiguo said seriously.

Several little kids followed to show their loyalty.

"You guys have already vented my anger just now, but don't hit me with stones casually in the future." Mi Xia smiled and warned.

The family started eating again with different thoughts, but the food was not as delicious as before. Mi Qiu took a few bites quickly and said he was full.

Mi Xia ate a few bites and couldn't eat anymore, so Zhang Hongxia put away the dishes and went to wash them.

Mo Haoyue didn't come at night.

After coaxing the little girl to sleep, Mi Xia flashed into the space. Although she had taken a bath outside, Mi Xia still wanted to take another bath in the spiritual spring water. She soaked comfortably for a while before going to organize the supplies.

Sort out the supplies to be sold to Zhang Xiaoyu tomorrow in advance. The fish in the space are already very big, so they can be sold.

Some other food, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. were sold.

Sleep in the space and go out early tomorrow morning. Mo Zhixia usually sleeps all night until dawn. If she wakes up in the middle of the night, she can leave the space.

The next morning, Mi Xia got up early to cook. Although she slept late last night, she was energetic when sleeping in the space.

For breakfast, Mi Xia cooked porridge, mixed a plate of wild vegetables, a plate of black fungus, and fried some pancakes.

After breakfast, my sister-in-law cleared the table.

"Brother, don't go to work today. Come with me to the county town."

"Okay, then I'll ask for leave from the village chief and come back to accompany you." Mi Qiuxiao didn't think much about it, thinking that Mi Xia wanted him to carry something.

After Mi Qiu went out to ask for leave, Mi Xia watched the two girls playing together and couldn't help but smile happily.

Today, Mi Qiu was riding a newly bought men's bicycle with a large frame. Mi Qiu is 178 cm tall and can easily step on the pedals.

Mi Xia is 1.71 meters tall and can ride this kind of bike, so she finally considered buying this one. Even if she goes to Kyoto, it will be convenient for her brother to ride it. If she buys a women's bicycle, it will be awkward for her brother to ride it.

After arriving at Zhang Xiaoyu's courtyard, Mi Xia locked the car directly at the door, knocked on the door, and Zhang Xiaoyu came out after a while.

"Hello, big brother." Zhang Xiaoyu warmly grabbed Mi Qiu's hand.

Then he turned to Mi Xia and said, "I guessed it was you. Let's go now. The man who sold the labor works in the motor factory. I have found out everything for you."

“The daily working hours are from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with 20-minute breaks in the morning and afternoon, and a one-and-a-half-hour lunch break at noon.

This means that the working hours are less than eight hours a day, and there is no attendance system. Even if you are late, you can be late as long as you have a legitimate reason.

The holiday benefits are good, this is the one I came for. ”

Mi Qiu, who was standing by, thought that it was the younger sister who wanted to buy the job, but because she heard that the job was good, she did not interrupt.

After Zhang Xiaoyu knocked on the door, a man in his 40s came out.
