Chapter 300 Snowing, closing early
"Hello, Aunt Yu, hello, Aunt Gu." Li Dongdong walked into the main room holding his brother's hand, and called out when he saw Yu Hui and Gu Hongmei knitting in the room.
After he finished shouting, he asked his younger brother to shout.
Li Tiantian also followed his brother and called for help.
"Come and play, come sit and warm yourself by the fire." Yu Hui greeted.
Then he looked at the little boy next to Li Dongdong and said, "This is your brother, he's so cute."
"My brother's name is Tiantian."
Li Dongdong held his brother's hand and sat down on a low stool next to the charcoal brazier.
There was an iron net on the brazier, and on the iron net were peanuts, oranges, persimmons, sweet potatoes, and a clay pot.
Yu Hui looked at the two brothers Li Dongdong. Dongdong looked much better than last time and was wearing a new cotton-padded jacket.
"Gu Dong, pour milk tea for Dong Dong and his brother."
There was milk tea in the ceramic pot. Yu Hui specially asked Gu Huai to buy milk. In the cold winter, people had to make tea around the stove.
"good."
Gu Dong took two cups and asked Li Dongdong to hold them. He wrapped the handle of the pottery jar with cloth, picked up the pottery jar and poured milk tea into it.
Tiantian sat obediently next to her brother, curiously stretching her neck to watch people pour milk tea, and even twitching her little nose.
"Blow it, it's a little hot." Li Dongdong gave his brother a bottle of milk tea that was eight-tenths full.
Li Tiantian held the cup with both hands, blew on it, and took a small sip.
Then he narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Sweet."
"Is it delicious?" Gu Xixi asked.
"Yeah." Li Tiantian nodded vigorously.
"This is the method of making tea that my mother came up with." Gu Xixi said proudly.
Gu Dong took out the egg cake and placed it on the iron net in front of Li Dongdong and Li Tiantian.
"This egg cake tastes better when it's baked warm on top." They've all tried it.
"It's hot, so you can help yourself. You can also help yourself to these peanuts, dried persimmons, and oranges."
"Okay." Li Dongdong nodded with a smile.
I am especially grateful to Gu Dong and his mother. They are so nice to me.
He felt that it was because he could play and become friends with Gu Dong, and Gu Dong also invited him to his home, that he could now wear new cotton-padded clothes and have full meals at home.
Because, ever since visiting Gu Dong's house, Dad often asks about Gu Dong.
After watching TV, drinking delicious milk tea, eating sweet egg cakes, sweet oranges and persimmons, and crispy peanuts, Li Dongdong saw that it was already four o'clock, so he suggested taking his brother home.
Before I left, my mother told me to be home before five o'clock.
"Dongdong, wait a moment." Gu Hongmei stood up and took out a pair of blue woolen gloves from her pocket. "Auntie knitted an extra pair of gloves when she was knitting gloves. You can try them on."
The last time Gu Hongmei saw his hands were red from the cold, she thought of knitting him a pair of gloves.
It was cold, and any child with a mother would have their mother knit them gloves. But Li Dongdong's stepmother certainly wouldn't have thought of preparing gloves for him, so Gu Hongmei knitted him a pair.
"This..." Li Dongdong looked at the gloves and felt embarrassed to put them away.
"Dongdong, just accept it. Look, I have gloves too. Wearing gloves will keep my hands from getting cold when I write." Gu Dong stretched out his hand wearing a blue glove and said to him.
"Thank you, Aunt Gu." Li Dongdong bowed and accepted the gloves.
Gu Hongmei touched his head lovingly.
As soon as she got home, Pu Xianglan took her son Tiantian's hand and asked him what he did with his brother and what he ate that day.
"We watched the Monkey King, ate cake, persimmons, oranges, and drank sweet milk tea. It was so much fun at my brother's classmate's house."
He touches his round little belly every day. He has eaten a lot of delicious food and his stomach is still full. He wants to go play with his brother next time.
Hearing that her son had eaten so much and even had milk tea, Pu Xianglan glanced at her stepson who she had called to pick vegetables.
He thought to himself that it was not in vain that he had followed him every day today. Deputy Captain Gu's son played very well with him. He invited him to his home to play and even prepared a lot of food for him.
But Deputy Captain Gu's family is really rich. Who would be willing to give food to other people's children like this these days?
It must be because his family is rich that he is willing to spend so much.
Li Zhuang came back from outside and asked his son about his visit to Gu's house today. He was very happy that his son played so well with Deputy Commander Gu's children and even got gloves knitted by Deputy Commander Gu's sister.
In order to eat meat, white rice and noodles, Bao Pandi no longer dared to bother Qian Lan at night.
But Yu Qiang and Qian Lan still did not lift her dietary restrictions, and said that she needed to continue to control her blood sugar to completely stabilize.
On the night of December 24th, the north wind was blowing outside. The next morning, when everyone got up and opened the door, they saw that it was snowing outside.
The snow is not heavy, but you can see white snow on the roofs and green plants.
Yu Hui opened the door of the main room, but within three seconds, she was forced to close the door again because of the cold wind mixed with snowflakes.
"It's so cold, I can't open the shop today."
It was snowing, so she decided to close the shop. She thought she should stay at home in such a cold day instead of opening a shop to cook noodles.
And since it's snowing, there must be fewer people coming to eat noodles.
"I'm going to get the meat." Gu Huai said as he walked to the door wrapped in his military coat.
Yu Hui turned her head to look at him and said in a muffled voice, "It's snowing outside. You should take the meat you picked up home directly. The noodle shop is closing early. It's so cold, I can't go out to do business."
She is afraid of the cold.
Now that the weather is cold, the meat will not go bad if you keep it at home and eat it slowly.
"Okay." Gu Huai didn't want her to open the store in such a cold weather. Her hands were almost getting frostbite.
Gu Huai directly took back all the meat he had ordered.
After breakfast, Yu Hui went to Yu's house wearing a hat, a scarf, a cotton jacket and gloves.
The Yu family had just finished breakfast and hadn't cleared away the dishes yet.
"Sister Qian, it's snowing. Let's close our noodle shop from today." Yu Hui said to Qian Lan as soon as she entered the house.
When Qian Lan woke up in the morning and saw it was snowing, she thought Yu Hui would ask to close the store early, so she was not too surprised.
Qian Lan was about to speak, but Bao Pandi beat her to the punch and said in a teaching tone, "Young people nowadays just can't stand hardship. They close their shops just because it snows. In the countryside, we still have to go out to cut grass and chop firewood even when it snows."
Yu Hui: Haha.
"Aunt Bao, you are really amazing."
Bao Pandi: It was a compliment to me, why does it sound so strange?
"It's not too late for your noodle shop to close before the New Year, so you'd better not close it yet," said Bao Pandi.
If the shop is open for one more day, Qian Lan can get a little more money.
Yu Hui looked at Qian Lan and said, "Sister Qian, let's put it this way. Come to my house later and we'll settle this month's bill."
"Okay." Qian Lan nodded.
Xiao Yu had wanted to close the store for a long time, and now she brought it up again. Moreover, the colder the weather got, the worse the business became, so she didn't object anymore. There were only a few days left in this month anyway.
After getting Qian Lan's answer, Yu Hui turned around and left Yu's house.
"She..." Bao Pandid looked at Yu Hui's leaving back, then looked at Qian Lan. These two didn't take his words seriously, right?
Bao Pandi felt very embarrassed when being ignored.
