Qiu Yuling said it was not necessary, and not long after, Zhou Xiaonan brought a bowl of sweet dumplings.
"Yuling, my mom killed a chicken this afternoon. She said you were busy and couldn't come over. If you haven't eaten yet, I'll bring you a bowl. Oh, and add some cold water to this sweet soup. Eating it dry can easily make you drunk."
Qiu Yuling said she had just gotten lunch from the factory cafeteria and pointed to the aluminum lunch box on the corner of the table. "Look, they're eating right now."
"Oh, that's fine. I'll come back and talk to you. We have guests in the house today. I'll tell you more later. I'm leaving now."
Qiu Yuling called her, "Sister Xiaonan, take this watermelon over here. Wait a moment while I clear out the bowl for you. I'm afraid I won't have time later and might forget about it if I leave it in the room."
Zhou Xiaonan kept muttering to himself that Yuling had always been too polite until he walked out of Qiu Yuling's house.
"Mom, please cut up the watermelon and let's eat it. Yuling is the same. We have been neighbors for many years. She has the habit of returning what she receives. I have to take it back."
Mother Zhou took the watermelon, washed the mud off it in a basin of water, and then placed it on the chopping board. "This is how smart Xiao Qiu is. He's not greedy or possessive. You should learn from him in the future."
Zhou Xiaonan curled her lips. Her love for Qiu Yuling was entirely eroded by her mother.
At Sun Tianxia's home in Wu City, preparations are busy for the old man's birthday tomorrow.
The sister-in-law was helping to prepare the chickens and ducks for tomorrow's meal. "Sister-in-law, Xingyao is almost 25 years old. Aren't you in a hurry?"
Sun Tianxia kept working. "Why not? But this can't be rushed. You know his job. He's away every now and then. When he's gone, he's like a missing person."
I asked several intermediaries to talk to them, but they stopped responding as soon as they heard about the situation. It's probably because he doesn't care. Other employees aren't like him..."
The sister-in-law leaned forward and asked her sister-in-law in a low voice, "Is it because Xingyao has someone he likes that he's not in a hurry?"
Sun Tianxia sneered, "If he has this ability, I can arrange a meal for him tomorrow to do the work. Even if he is missing some limbs, as long as he wants it, I have no objection."
When the sister-in-law heard this, she felt relieved. "Then there really is no one. Sister-in-law, let me tell you one thing, and you listen to it. If you think it's suitable, we can meet and let the children meet. If it's not suitable, just pretend I didn't mention it."
Sun Tianxia put down the work at hand and turned to listen attentively to the candidate her sister-in-law mentioned.
"Sister-in-law, the daughter of Lao Li's former comrade is called Duan Hongyan. She just turned twenty this year. In fact, she met Xingyao a long time ago. She is also looking forward to their art troupe..."
After hearing this, Sun Tianxia thought there was no problem, "Then wait until our dad's birthday is over and then talk to Xingyao about it.
Didn’t they meet before? Neither of them even glanced at each other. I think this is a long shot…” Whoever gave birth to it knows.
The postman at the door brought a package. Li Xingyao signed for it and took it inside to the old man. "Grandpa, this is a package sent to you from Minxian County."
When Old Li heard this, he jumped up and frightened his little son who came in from outside. He almost tripped over his left foot and fell down.
"Brother, Dad's body is stronger than you and me." He can't even do that movement, but the old man is still so agile!
Li Hongyuan nodded. "Dad hasn't been sick in the past few years. He seems to take a course of pills every year. These are given to him by his godson."
"What medicine? Don't take random medicines. Have you checked it with a doctor?"
The old man took the package from his grandson and knew it was from Qiu Yuling as soon as he heard the name of Minxian. "This girl, she didn't even plan to come. She only knows how to give gifts. Humph."
Li Xingyao didn't leave, but sat down on his grandfather's chair. "I'll get you some scissors."
Carefully opening the package, I found a wooden Huarong Dao painting on top.
The old man picked it up and said, "This girl is treating me like a broken doll."
After playing with it for a while, I found it quite interesting, so I put it aside and unfolded the clothes underneath. "Girl, why are you wasting so much time? Why should I, an old man, wear a new hat all day long?"
Even though she said this, her hands didn't hesitate at all and she put it on directly. "It's just right, it has to be Yuling. No one else has this skill. Look at the workmanship, it's better than the one in the tailor shop..."
Li Xingyao didn't show any impatience and kept playing with the old man's new toys. Sun Tianxia had called him several times. When she pushed open the door, she saw an old man and a young boy huddled there, concentrating intently.
When I got closer, I saw that they were playing. "Huh? Dad, why have I never seen you wearing this kind of clothes?"
The old man put Huarong away and said, "Oh, I just got it. My goddaughter gave it to me. I just saw it myself. Of course, you haven't seen it."
Sun Tianxia smiled. "Xiao Qiu, this child, by the way, where is she? She should be able to come tomorrow, Sunday, right?"
Old Li's desire to show off suddenly faded. "I'm not coming. I said something happened at the factory and I couldn't leave. I even asked the postman to bring the gift over."
This news made Sun Tianxia very disappointed, and she had some secret thoughts in her mind.
She really liked that girl. Usually mothers-in-law would find fault with their daughters-in-law, but she couldn't find any complaints with Qiu Yuling.
But because of the old man, she didn't dare to say it easily. What if it didn't work out and it affected the relationship between the two men in the future, what would happen to her?
"Oh, then when she comes, she must treat her to a meal. Xiao Qiu gave her such a valuable gift, so she should at least treat her to a meal in return. Besides, last time, Xingyao was a big guy, but he took her watermelon and didn't even offer her a sip of water. Really?"
Li Xingyao felt strange when his mother gave him a strange look.
His mother often told him to be careful with his behavior, but that day they were alone with a man and a woman, how could he greet them?
The old man slapped his grandson on the back of the head and said, "Idiot."
On Qiu Yuling's side, she took a sip of the sweet dumplings made by Zhou's mother and instantly returned to the time when she was in school in Lan City. After finishing a bowl, she still felt unsatisfied.
I decided to make some sweet bread myself.
Then go back to the cabin and do it. All the tools and materials are available there, so you can save yourself the trouble.
Zhu Zhu hurried over and wanted to do it for her. Qiu Yuling touched Zhu Zhu's head and said, "It's okay. I'm free today. You can take a break. You can help me next time."
The spider raised its tentacles and thought, "My master is so good to me. It's another day of being loved!"
Qiu Yuling chose two types of wheat: naked oats and highland barley, and tried to choose the ones with full grains, no mold or impurities.
This can ensure the taste and quality of the sweet embryo, and also reduce the possibility of adverse conditions during the fermentation process.
The second thing is the appropriate sweet wine yeast.
After the raw materials were prepared, she washed the buckwheat and barley and soaked them for a while to allow them to fully absorb water.
