After hearing about Li Fengqin's experience, everyone sighed. They really couldn't understand why Sun Youwang's family was so cruel and indifferent to Sun Dajiang. He was their own son, so why were they so partial to him?
But other people's affairs are other people's affairs after all, and they can't interfere.
After seeing Captain Liu off, Song Yun began grinding the beans. Yang Wenbing took on the task of pushing the millstone, and Yang Lifen volunteered to scoop the beans. Song Yun had no objection, so she let the siblings grind the beans while she prepared the ingredients for tofu. Brine tofu was usually best, but unfortunately, there was no brine, so she had to use gypsum.
Making tofu is a very tedious process. The brother and sister did not finish grinding the beans prepared by Song Yun until dark. Then they had to filter, boil, and stir-fry the soy milk until it solidified into tofu pudding. They then put it into the prepared mold and pressed it down for at least an hour.
After the tofu was pressed, Zhang Hongmei also prepared dinner. Dinner consisted of fried pork with bean curd dregs, minced pork with tofu pudding, and cold shredded potatoes made by Ziyi. Yang Lifen also made a dish, but she only knew how to cook that one: scrambled eggs with leeks.
It was a sumptuous meal, especially since it was already seven o'clock and everyone was hungry, so they ate with extra relish.
After dinner, they cleaned up the kitchen and the tofu was almost cooked. Song Yun cut a large piece of tofu and put it in a small bamboo basket, fried eight poached eggs and put them in the lunch box, and there was also a pot of soy milk that she had specially reserved beforehand. When it was cooked, she added a little sugar to it to make it sweet. Everyone could have a bowl of this pot.
When Zhang Hongmei saw Song Yun packing her things, she knew she was going to her parents' place. She didn't ask anything and said nothing. She took her son and daughter to the room to rest quietly.
Sometimes she wondered what Lifen and Wenbing would do if it was her who ended up in the cowshed. Could they do what Song Yun did?
I dare not think about it, I really dare not think about it.
It was already 9 o'clock in the evening when Song Yun and Ziyi went to the cowshed. Song Hao and the others had already gone to bed. When they heard the door opening, they quickly put on their clothes and got up.
"Why are you here so late?" Song Hao put on his glasses and took out a match to light a lamp.
Song Yun put the things down and didn't let Ziyi go to the next door to call for help. She said softly, "I was busy making tofu today and was delayed a bit. I brought you a piece. You can mix it with other ingredients or roast it tomorrow."
Ever since the Revolutionary Committee came and those people stopped entering the house and rummaging through things, Song Yun added a kerosene stove to the shed so that it would be more convenient for them to cook their own meals.
"You can also make tofu?" Bai Qingxia's eyes lit up. She hadn't eaten tofu for a long time.
Song Yun smiled and said, "Making tofu is very simple. I will teach you later."
Bai Qingxia was looking forward to the day her daughter would come. She would not only make tofu with her daughter, but also do many other things with her.
Song Yun sat for a while and was about to leave, fearing that she would disturb her parents' rest. But then Old Qi from next door came over and asked, "Xiao Yun, did Mo Nan write to you?"
Song Yun shook her head, "No."
Seeing Mr. Qi's disappointed face, Song Yun hurriedly helped Qi Mo Nan explain, "He must have gone there to carry out some important mission this time. I guess the mission hasn't been completed yet, otherwise he would definitely write to you."
