After confirming that Song Qian was going to learn the piano, the Song family had another major expense in addition to Song Tao's medicine. Although the family had some spare money, they couldn't just sit around and live off it.
Although Song Tingzhi had promised Jiang Cheng not to go up the mountain, most of his family now relied on the money he earned from hunting in the mountains to make a living. Jiang Cheng couldn't persuade him and could only watch him go up the mountain.
After Song Tingzhi left, Jiang Cheng returned to the house angrily. He was not angry with Song Tingzhi, but with himself. Apart from embroidering handkerchiefs, he couldn't do anything else and couldn't help him in any way.
Xu Sanniang saw that Jiang Cheng was in a bad mood after Song Tingzhi left. After waiting for a while but seeing him not come out, she went to check in person and asked Song Tao to watch Song Yu and not let him run around.
As for Song Qian, she was sent to Madam Tang to learn piano two days ago, and she will not be back until a month later.
"Chengcheng, I'm coming in." After knocking on the door, Xu Sanniang pushed it open and went in.
"What happened?" Xu Sanniang saw Jiang Cheng sitting at the table wiping his tears and hurried over to comfort him. "It's okay. Tingzhidu has been in the mountains for so many years and nothing serious has happened. Don't worry too much."
"Mom..." When Jiang Cheng saw Xu Sanniang sitting next to him, he threw himself into her arms and burst into tears.
"Oh, what's wrong?" Jiang Cheng had been married for more than half a year, and her emotions had never fluctuated so much. Xu Sanniang was also a little at a loss.
"Mom, am I too useless?" Jiang Cheng buried his head in Xu Sanniang's arms and said in a muffled voice.
"How could that be? Ever since you came to our house, our lives have been smooth sailing. Your father's health is much better than before. Qianqian also went to learn piano from Madam Tang at your suggestion. Xiaoyu is also growing up slowly. Our lives are getting better and better. How can you be useless?"
Xu Sanniang touched Jiang Cheng's hair and spoke gently.
"But I'm afraid..." Jiang Cheng sobbed, "I'm afraid I can't help Tingzhi. I'm worried about him always going up the mountain. I want to accompany him, but I don't know any martial arts, so I can only be a hindrance."
Jiang Cheng cried and said what she was thinking, "I want to start a small business to help him, but I can only embroider some handkerchiefs and make some clothes, and I don't know anything else."
Jiang Cheng has been confined at home since Bai's death. He rarely goes out and doesn't know much.
"Good boy, don't worry." Xu Sanniang patted Jiang Cheng on the back and comforted him, "Mom will help you think about it too."
Xu Sanniang kept patting Jiang Cheng on the back, but her mind was brainstorming.
Xu Sanniang knows a lot of things, but apart from making tofu, she is not really good at anything.
After all, before marrying Song Tao, Xu Sanniang's family ran a tofu shop, so Xu Sanniang was naturally influenced by them.
Yes, you can make tofu! All you need to make tofu is soybeans and brine, but it does take some work!
Xu Sanniang told Jiang Cheng her thoughts.
"Tofu?" Jiang Cheng raised his head from Xu Sanniang's arms and looked at her, "But I don't know how to make it..."
"It's okay, mother, I can do it." Xu Sanniang patted her chest and said confidently.
"Really?" Jiang Cheng was still a little bit unbelievable. How could he figure out what to do so quickly?
"Really. I was busy taking care of the kids before, and your dad wasn't in good health, so I just couldn't spare any time to do this."
"Now that you've married into our family, we have an extra hand. Since you want to help Tingzhi take care of the house, I'll teach you how to make tofu. Tofu is easy to make, but it takes a lot of effort..."
"Mom, I want to learn!!" Before Xu Sanniang finished speaking, Jiang Cheng spoke first.
Xu Sanniang was startled by Jiang Cheng, "Okay, okay, I'll teach you!"
After hearing what Xu Sanniang said, Jiang Cheng stopped crying and felt much better. He pulled Xu Sanniang out to make tofu.
"Good boy, don't be anxious." After being pulled out by Jiang Cheng, Xu Sanniang hurriedly grabbed him and said, "To make tofu, you need to soak the soybeans in water a day in advance and wait overnight before making it. We didn't soak the soybeans yesterday, so we can't make tofu today. The earliest we can make it is tomorrow!"
When Jiang Cheng heard what Xu Sanniang said, his passion slowly subsided and he gradually regained his composure.
"Let's soak the soybeans today, and I'll teach you how to make it tomorrow!" Xu Sanniang walked up to Jiang Cheng and said to him.
"Okay." With something to do, Jiang Cheng was no longer so depressed and agreed.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng's emotions had stabilized, Xu Nian went to take care of other things.
In the afternoon, Xu Sanniang found a wooden basin and poured the soybeans into it to soak.
Use your hands to spread the soybeans evenly, and then just wait until tomorrow morning.
"Okay, just soak it like this. Tomorrow morning, I will take you to make tofu!" Xu Sanniang clapped her hands and said.
"Okay, thank you, mother." Jiang Cheng took Xu Sanniang's arm and said coquettishly.
"You..." Xu Sanniang tapped Jiang Cheng's forehead and shook her head helplessly.
Jiang Cheng is a good kid in every way, except for being too sensitive. He always feels like a burden to his family. It must be because of the previous fights with the Jiang family!
The thought of this made Xu Sanniang's teeth itch with anger, and she wished she could have another three hundred rounds with Shen Mei!
Even as she thought this, Xu Sanniang's expression did not change at all.
At night, when Song Tingzhi came back to his room with Jiang Cheng, he saw Jiang Cheng sitting on the edge of the bed humming nursery rhymes and embroidering a handkerchief. She looked in a particularly good mood!
"What happened today? Why are you so happy?" Song Tingzhi walked up to him and said after washing his hands.
"Guess?" Jiang Cheng put away his handkerchief and looked at Song Tingzhi in a good mood.
"How could I guess? Good Chengcheng, just tell me!" Song Tingzhi hugged Jiang Cheng and leaned against him.
"Mom said she would teach me how to make tofu tomorrow!" Jiang Cheng said, unable to stop Song Tingzhi's attack.
"Making tofu?" Song Tingzhi asked, "Why did you suddenly think of making tofu?"
Song Tingzhi naturally knew that Xu Sanniang could make tofu. When the family was in financial difficulty, Xu Sanniang would make tofu to eat, because tofu tastes similar to meat when cooked, which can satisfy her cravings.
“I want to help you!”
"Help me?" Song Tingzhi became even more confused.
"Yes." Jiang Cheng nodded. "If I learn how to make tofu and bring in some income for the family, you won't have to work so hard."
"So that's how it is. Thank you for your hard work, Chengcheng." When Song Tingzhi heard Jiang Cheng say this, he did not refute him but agreed with his idea very much.
As early as when Jiang Cheng just married him, Song Tingzhi knew that he was not a man who was willing to stay at home to take care of his husband and children, so Song Tingzhi never rejected his idea.
This time is the same. Since Jiang Cheng wants to do it, Song Tingzhi supports him. Whether it is good or bad, he will take responsibility for Jiang Cheng.
"You are so nice!" When Jiang Cheng heard Song Tingzhi say this, he happily held Song Tingzhi's face and kissed him.
After the kiss, Jiang Cheng noticed that Song Tingzhi's eyes became more and more strange. Jiang Cheng panicked and wanted to slip away.
As a result, as soon as he stood up, he was pulled back by Song Tingzhi. Then the wind blew out the candle and the whole night was filled with music and singing.
