"Look, you insist on making me learn how to make tofu from her. What's so good about making tofu? I can only sell it in the village. How much money can I make?"
"You know my relationship with his family, and you asked me to learn how to make tofu from Xu Sanniang. Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"
On the way back, Zhang Ermei couldn't help but complain to Niu Er.
"What do you know? You just do whatever we tell you to do! Isn't the wealth our family gives you enough?" Niu Er was unhappy with Zhang Ermei in front of Xu Sanniang.
If it weren't for her good looks, there's no way I could have married her.
"You..." Zhang Ermei was speechless and could only point at Niu Er.
Niu Er ignored her and walked forward on his own. Seeing him like this, Zhang Ermei had no choice but to stomp her feet and follow him.
After seeing Niu Er and the others leave, Xu Sanniang walked into the house with a puzzled look on her face.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"It's okay, I just feel like something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on it..." Xu Sanniang thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.
"If you can't figure it out, forget it!" Song Tao came out and said to Xu Sanniang, "Let's just teach her how to make tofu. We won't ask or care about anything else."
"Dad is right. No matter why you come to learn this craft, it's an affirmation of you, Mom. Just teach me!" Jiang Cheng agreed.
"Okay, then I'll try to teach you!" Xu Sanniang didn't think too much about it after Jiang Cheng and Song Tao sang the same tune, and said readily.
When Song Tingzhi came back that day and learned about this, he had no objection.
It is said that Song Tingzhi did have some gains when he went to the mountain today. He brought back a nest of wild rabbits, seven in total, big and small.
Song Tingzhi planned to raise the rabbits first and then kill and eat them when the rabbits grew up.
The big rabbit was kept for giving birth. Rabbits are fertile, so it was just right to provide Jiang Cheng with nourishment during her pregnancy.
When Xu Sanniang heard that he wanted to raise rabbits, she had no objection and asked him to make a simple rabbit cage in the yard and put the rabbit in it.
Although Zhang Ermei lost her temper on the way back, she was in a good mood and learned quickly when she came to Xu Sanniang to learn how to make tofu the next day.
After Xu Sanniang taught Zhang Ermei for three days, she felt that Zhang Ermei was ready to become a master.
After Zhang Ermei tried making a dish, Niu Er tasted it and thought it tasted good.
"Thank you, auntie." Niu Er thanked her.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's almost done like this." Xu Sanniang also tasted it. It was tender, smooth, refreshing and delicious!
Seeing that Zhang Ermei had almost learned enough, Niu Er took her away.
They went back to have lunch, and then Niu Er took Zhang Ermei back to Lihua Village.
Xu Sanniang saw them leaving in such a hurry and wondered, "Why are they going back?"
"Zhang Ermei and Niu Er have been back for several days. It's not good for them to live in their parents' home every day after getting married. It's almost time for them to go back." Jiang Cheng touched Xiao Hui's fur and guessed.
"Indeed!" Xu Sanniang felt that what Jiang Cheng said made sense.
"Tomorrow I'll kill a rabbit for you to eat!" Xu Sanniang felt that a rabbit was grown enough, so she thought of killing it and giving it to Jiang Cheng to eat.
"Mom, I want to eat spicy rabbit!" Jiang Cheng didn't bother to be polite with Xu Sanniang. He wanted to eat spicy food recently, so he wanted Xu Sanniang to cook it spicier for him.
"Okay, I'll make it for you tomorrow!" Xu Sanniang thought the spicy rabbit was delicious and agreed readily.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Cheng took out needle and thread from the bamboo basket, intending to sew some clothes for the baby in her belly.
During the days that Jiang Cheng was at home, Song Tingzhi went hunting in the mountains every day. He kept some of the prey at home and sold some in town, earning a lot of silver.
Jiang Cheng drinks Xu Sanniang's loving pregnancy-maintaining meals every day, and Jiang Cheng feels that she has gained more fat on her belly.
"This is normal! It means the baby is getting bigger day by day. It's been two months now. You'll be able to see it in another month and a half." Xu Sanniang comforted Jiang Cheng after hearing his complaints.
"By the way, Mom, Tingzhi and I will go back in two days. It's not good to keep the shop closed!" Jiang Cheng and Xu Sanniang were talking when they remembered that they would meet Song Tingzhi in the shop in two days.
"Leaving so soon? Why didn't you stay a little longer?" Xu Sanniang thought Jiang Cheng would stay at home for a while! She didn't expect him to go back so soon.
"Well, it's not good to keep the shop closed all the time! I've almost had enough rest at home recently, it's time to go back." Jiang Cheng felt that he had almost had enough rest and it was time to go back to make money to support the baby.
There are so many things to spend money on after the baby is born.
Jiang Cheng was quite anxious thinking about the remaining money at home. There was some money left from buying the shop before, plus he had earned about fifteen taels of silver in the past two months, a total of twenty taels.
Jiang Cheng calculated in his mind that it wasn't much, so he still needed to keep working hard.
Xu Sanniang didn't respond to what Jiang Cheng said, but found a random topic to change the subject.
That night, after Xu Sanniang and Song Tao went to bed and extinguished the candle, Xu Sanniang tossed and turned in bed for a long time, and Song Tao could feel that Xu Sanniang was not at peace.
"What's wrong?" Song Tao asked as he lit the candle.
"It's okay, I just..." Xu Sanniang glanced at him and simply sat up. "Chengcheng and Tingzhi will be back in two days. You said Chengcheng's health isn't very good either. What if she gets tired again after she goes back?"
Xu Sanniang thought about it over and over but couldn't come up with any solution.
"That's easy. If that doesn't work, you can go to town and keep him company," Song Tao suggested.
"How can that be? The two children finally moved out on their own, so why would they want to live with us elders?" Xu Sanniang thought it was impossible. "Besides, their shop is not big, how can they accommodate them?"
"If it really doesn't work, we can just rent a small yard next to their shop. Didn't Tingzhi say there is an empty yard next to their shop? You can move there!" Song Tao said.
"If I go alone, what about you and Xiaoyu? You just recovered not long ago, you can't do it!" Xu Sanniang looked at Song Tao with some disgust.
When I decided to marry Song Tao, I knew that he was not strong, but he was good-looking! At that time, Song Tao was also a well-known figure in the village and outside, and he was also educated!
Many girls want to marry him!
But when it comes to physical work, Song Tao can only help out.
It is unlikely that the whole family can go to town together. What should we do with the chickens, ducks, geese, and piglets at home?
"Forget it, let's go to sleep first! We'll discuss it tomorrow!" Song Tao saw that neither this nor that worked, and there was nothing he could do. He could only let Xu Sanniang rest first and discuss it with Tingzhi tomorrow!
Song Tao put out the candle and then lay down. Xu Sanniang sat for a while and then lay down to sleep!
