Chapter 80 Taro Dumplings
Gu Ci went into the water to save someone yesterday and his clothes were soaked.
When Grandma Chu found out, she quietly came over and took all his clothes away to wash them.
Even on sunny days now, the temperature is below zero in the morning and evening, so it is difficult to dry clothes. I can only dry them slowly like this.
When she saw Chu Hong coming in, she stood up to greet her, unable to hide her worry: "Chu Yan has done more harm than good, and has caused you trouble again."
"Don't worry, grandma. They are almost well now."
Chu Hong held her hand and whispered, "The food in the hospital is good, so we want them to stay for two more days so they can take the opportunity to recuperate."
Grandma Chu felt more relieved when she heard her say this: "That's good, as long as you're okay."
"It's inconvenient for you to go out," Chu Hong explained to her, "I'll take Xiao Yu'er and Chu Chu to take a look tomorrow."
Grandma Chu nodded repeatedly: "That's fine, the little girl is worried sick, let her go see her brother."
Then he said sheepishly: "We have nothing, so we can only say thank you."
"I just feel that meeting you is the greatest blessing for our family."
This is what she really thinks.
Thinking about her grandson wanting to be with Chu Hong, she hesitated but still didn't say anything more.
It’s not that he thinks Chu Hong is not worthy of his grandson.
But he was afraid that she would misunderstand that he wanted to use his grandson to win them over, or use a beauty trap or something like that.
Chu Hong thought to herself: I am not helping a stranger, but my grandma.
Although not a relative.
But since my adoptive mother chose me from the orphanage, raised me, and finally left all the family wealth to her, I must protect my grandmother for the rest of my life.
As for Grandma Chu, according to seniority, I should call her Grandma.
Love them and love their dog.
As long as they can survive the next eight years, they will be able to support Chuchu in the future. With family around, Chuchu will not become a child bride, nor will she die early due to illness.
However, I don’t know if Chuchu will give birth to her adoptive mother from her previous life again if she marries someone else in the future?
"Grandma, don't meet me." Chuchu acted coquettishly with her: "I feel particularly close to you when I see you."
"I feel like we must have been relatives in our past life."
She handed her the small cloth bag again, chatted with Grandma Chu for a while, and then went home: "Let Chuchu eat dinner at our place?"
Grandma Chu did not refuse her kindness.
Chu Hong's family eats much better than them. Her granddaughter is still too young. She used to have some baby fat, but now she is skinny.
Now she understood that the happiest thing in life is to eat well.
When Chu Hong returned home, she found Xiao Jin was also there.
Xiao Jin is the same age as Chu Chu. He used to be with Chu Chu and Chu Yan. Now that Chu Yan is in trouble, he is also very uneasy. When he sees Chu Hong, he asks eagerly, "Sister, can I go visit Brother Yan tomorrow? I'm so worried about him."
Don't think that children are really ignorant just because they are young.
He knew very well that Sister Chu Hong particularly liked Chu Chu.
Maybe this is why girls like girls more?
Anyway, Sister Chu Hong likes me and will give me delicious food.
Chu Hong looked at his worried expression and swallowed the words of refusal she was about to say: "Okay, I'll take you and Chu Chu there tomorrow morning."
Then she rubbed his head naturally and said, "Stay for dinner. We have your favorite taro dumplings."
Xiao Jin couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Then I'll go back and tell grandpa and come over."
Chu Hong went to scoop rice and prepare to cook.
Pounding rice is definitely a strenuous job nowadays.
There are also leftover husks and mud blocks. Before cooking every time, I have to pick out the gravel and mud blocks, and then use water to wash out the husks and rice bran.
Thinking of two more children for dinner, she put an extra spoonful of rice.
Chu Dan also called her: "Sister, the taro and flour are all mixed, and the meat filling is also chopped. Let's make taro dumplings and steam them first and then cook dinner, right?"
Chu Hong responded, "Okay, let's open the package."
Once the taro dumplings are wrapped, put them in the steamer and start steaming.
When Secretary Song and Wu Xiu returned home, they saw Xiao Jin making a fire, and the three sisters and Xiao Yuer and Chuchu were making taro dumplings.
Secretary Song saw that they hadn't noticed him, so he tiptoed over and took a look. He saw that the taro dumplings made by the two younger girls were actually better than his.
He swallowed the joke he was about to say and wanted to leave quietly.
But Chu Hong had already spotted him: "Ah, why didn't you call me? You scared me."
She looked at him with a smile on her face and said, "Dad, the taro dumplings in the pot are ready. Send thirty of them to my second uncle and his family first, and bring some lotus roots from my second uncle's house."
Secretary Song muttered quietly: "Your father is busy outside all day, and when he comes back, he still needs your orders."
Chu Hong has good hearing, and raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "Dad, what are you mumbling about?"
Secretary Song immediately said, "I think you are very generous. You gave Lao Er and his family so many taro dumplings."
But he took ten out of the pot first and called to his wife: "Come on, let's taste them while they're hot."
When you put it in your mouth, the first thing you feel is its delicateness, softness, tenderness and smoothness, as well as its toughness and chewiness.
The filling tastes more fragrant and delicious after adding marinated meat.
He couldn't help but murmur to Wu Xiu: "Our girls always work hard, but they are very skillful when it comes to cooking."
Wu Xiu suspected that he was implying something: "Are you disgusted by my inability to work?"
She is self-aware. Not only does she not like to work, but her cooking skills are also mediocre.
Secretary Song immediately stood up and picked up the taro dumplings from the pot: "You think too much, it's not true, I'll go to the second brother's house first."
Seeing Xiao Jin making a fire, Wu Xiu went behind the stove and asked, "Can we use the other pot to cook rice?"
She likes to make fire in winter to keep warm.
Chu Tong responded: "It's ready to cook. The rice is already in the pot."
In fact, of the first pot of taro dumplings, except for the thirty taro dumplings given to Lao Chu and his family, the remaining thirty or so taro dumplings were shared by the three sisters and three children.
Chu Tong also asked: "Let's steam another pot of taro dumplings, then we can start cooking, right?"
Then he talked about the food stored at home: "We still have carrots and potatoes at home. What are we going to eat tonight?"
Chu Hong immediately said, "Don't rush to cook. Wait until our dad brings back the lotus roots and stir-fry the small ones in a pot."
Chu Dan laughed when he heard this: "If I could have lotus root soup with rice, I could eat two big bowls of rice."
Chu Hong teased her deliberately: "Are you so happy being a glutton? Be careful when you go to other people's homes, don't scare them."
Chu Dan snorted proudly: "If I'm a good-for-nothing, you're not much better."
Chu Tong was wrapping taro dumplings and couldn't help laughing when she heard her sisters bickering.
Not to mention that the food at her own home was much better than that at the Su's, what she liked even more was the atmosphere at home. At this moment, she was glad that she had made up her mind to leave the Su's home.
Secretary Song also quickly came back with a basket of lotus roots. In order to avoid being seen and gossiped about, he covered the lotus roots with a few large green vegetables.
Chu Dan was stunned after seeing it: "So many lotus roots? There must be more than 20 kilograms, right? Our second uncle is so generous."
Secretary Song smiled and shook his head: "Your second uncle is not stupid. He knew that the family was going to make lotus root dumplings, so he said he would send them a plate when the time comes."
