When Pei Guoan came back in the evening, he saw Li Miaomiao and the little guy grinding tofu. He put down what he was doing and came to help.
"No need, it's almost finished."
As Li Miaomiao spoke, she asked Pei Guoan to take the ground soy milk to the kitchen, filter it, and then put it in the pot to cook. She first filled a large basin with the cooked soy milk, and then poured in the gypsum powder that had been prepared long ago.
They all use gypsum powder to make tofu, but Li Miaomiao’s gypsum powder ratio is different, and he also adds some unique recipes.
"Guoan, send some soy milk and tofu pudding to mom and dad."
Li Miaomiao packed the cooked soy milk and tofu pudding and asked Pei Guoan to deliver them over.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Pei Guoan knew that his wife would never forget to send anything good to the two elderly people in the family, even if it was just some food. Even he, as a son, could not do that.
Pei Guoan went to his parents' place. Li Miaomiao first made a bowl of soy milk for his son and added sugar.
"Is it delicious?"
Pei Yifan drank very sweetly, holding the teacup and nodding, with white soy milk on the corner of his mouth
"If you like it, drink more. We have our own stone mill, so it will be easy to drink soy milk in the future. If you like it, I can make it often."
Pei Guoan came back soon, and Li Miaomiao also served Pei Guoan a bowl of soy milk.
"This soy milk is sweeter than any I've ever had before, and has a special bean flavor."
Li Miaomiao just smiled and said nothing, this is her unique recipe
"Oh, by the way, I packed some soy milk and tofu pudding. Let's go over there tonight to see how Mr. Fan is recovering."
Pei Guoan nodded: "That's right, I also brought some things for them, as well as some commonly used medicines, and sent them over together."
Arriving at Shed N, Li Miaomiao saw that the atmosphere was quite good. Although Mr. Fan, who had been suffering from a high fever, had not recovered completely, he finally woke up and leaned against the wall weakly.
"Mr. Fan seems to have recovered well."
"It's all thanks to you for sending us these good things, such as milk powder and sesame paste. Only then did Old Fan recover faster."
Pei Guoan didn't know that Li Miaomiao had also sent milk powder. This girl took over the task of taking care of the elderly people, and she did a better job than he did. She was truly fulfilling her responsibilities.
"Just eat. I'll bring it back when you're done. Don't be reluctant. Nothing is more important than your health. Oh, by the way, I ground some tofu today and brought you some soy milk and tofu pudding. Warm up the soy milk, it's perfect for this weather. It'll keep you warm."
Taking the situation here into consideration, Li Miaomiao adds sugar to the soy milk.
Old Master Gong took the large can of soy milk from Li Miaomiao's hand and heated it directly on the simple stove that Li Miaomiao had brought over earlier.
"Miaomiao, you know what, this stove looks simple, but it's really easy to use and warm, and it's even more convenient for heating things. With it, we feel warm all winter long."
"It's really useful, otherwise I wouldn't have sent it here. I have one at home, and it's very convenient to use."
While they were talking, the soy milk was heated. Li Miaomiao brought a large portion, enough for everyone to get a big bowl. After drinking the soy milk, several elderly people had a thin layer of sweat on their noses.
"Comfortable! Drinking this cup of soy milk makes me happier than a god."
Later, several old people were brought back to the capital. For many years, they could not forget this cup of soy milk in the cold winter, which was particularly sweet.
"If you like it, I'll make some soy powder and send it to you later. It's not difficult to make a cup."
It is not easy for Li Miaomiao to deliver milk powder frequently. It is difficult to explain where it comes from. There is also a smart person like Pei Guoan at home. Although Li Miaomiao has now become a little indifferent and lets Pei Guoan guess, she will not do anything too excessive in public.
But bean powder is not a very expensive thing, she can make it herself, and it is also rich in nutrition, which is just right for nourishing the elderly.
Li Miaomiao was trying to help Pei Guoan before, and she also had some intentions of making connections in her heart, but now she really respects and loves these elders.
"Miao Miao, stop working so hard. You've already taken care of us old folks. Food is expensive these days."
Li Miaomiao did not refute. Her style has always been to speak with actions. She would just deliver the things when the time came.
Pei Guoan also took out the medicines he had obtained: "It is inconvenient for us to come here normally. It may not be so coincidental that we will encounter a situation like Mr. Fan next time. These are commonly used medicines. You keep them so that you don't have to be at a loss when it is critical."
Pei Guoan and Li Miaomiao didn't stay for too long. They chatted for a while and then left.
When he got home, Pei Guoan thanked Li Miaomiao again.
"Didn't you say we're husband and wife, a family? There's no need to be so distant. You're still thanking me for such a small thing. Besides, I'm not just doing this for you. The knowledge and character of these elders are all respected."
"Okay, I won't be polite with you." Pei Guoan said this and touched Li Miaomiao's head again.
Li Miaomiao is used to it now. Pei Guoan can't change his habit of rubbing her head.
"By the way, the village will slaughter the New Year pig tomorrow. Do you have time to come back and enjoy the pig slaughtering dinner?"
"Let's see tomorrow. If I'm not busy, I'll come back."
Now that Pei Guoan has firmly established himself as the deputy director, he has fewer time constraints, although he is still as busy as ever.
"Okay, then you decide. As for the New Year, in previous years we all celebrated together, but this year the situation is different since we've split up. I was wondering if we should also have a New Year's dinner?"
"What do you think?" Pei Guoan didn't decide anything, but looked at Li Miaomiao's intention.
"Mom said that we should all go to her place for dinner on New Year's Eve. I thought we should also invite everyone on the 29th. Mom and Dad will definitely come over. We should also invite the other three and four wives over for dinner."
The custom here is to invite relatives to dinner during the Spring Festival.
"Do you want to invite your mother's family over as well?"
Li Miaomiao was satisfied when she heard Pei Guoan not mention the eldest wife that she had deliberately omitted, but instead mentioned her mother's family.
"As for my mother's family, forget about the New Year. Just invite them to a New Year's dinner during the New Year. There's no need to make it so complicated. But before the New Year, I still have to go to my mother's family and give them a New Year's gift."
"Of course. I'll prepare everything. I'll go with you on the day you decide."
"Okay, it's settled. Also, go to the Fourth Brothers and tell them about the New Year's Eve."
"Okay, I'll go there when I get back tomorrow."
"Remember to tell Fourth Sister-in-law not to come back if it's inconvenient for her. Just let the fourth brother come back. Calculating the time, Fourth Sister-in-law's belly is already showing, and the roads are slippery in this heavy snow."
Pei Guoan complied with whatever Li Miaomiao ordered, without any impatience.
"I've remembered everything. Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"No, just remember what I said."
