Li Meihua instinctively reached for the money bag, but Qiao Haisheng coughed at that moment, remembering their conversation at home that morning, and withdrew his hand.
"I'm not going to watch anymore. From now on, you can manage the money. I won't participate anymore."
Qiao Haisheng walked over and said, "Your mother and I discussed it this morning. We don't know anything about doing business, so the money will be put with you for unified management."
"Just take it out when you need the money later."
Qiao Xiaoni shook the purse in her hand. "Then it's settled. Just let me know when you need money."
Li Meihua had managed the household her whole life. Although she had previously suggested that her daughter should manage the money from now on, she still wanted to control it. Her husband had talked to her about it this morning, which finally relieved her of her burden. She realized that even if she could count the money perfectly well, it wouldn't help if she couldn't even do basic accounting!
After having lunch and resting for a while, Qiao Xiaoni rolled up her sleeves and started working again.
In order to make business go smoothly tomorrow, I specially set up a stove outside and put a large iron pot that was not in use at home on it, cleaned it and left it there.
The dough was ready when we finished eating. By then, the dough had just risen. We added firewood to the bottom of the pot and poured some of the soybean oil we had bought into it.
As the temperature gradually rose, the aroma of the oil wafted out, filling the yard.
Qiao Xiaoshan sat on a stool, tending the fire. He was particularly curious about the fried dough sticks his sister had mentioned. What exactly were they? Were they really that delicious?
Qiao Xiaoni just wanted to experiment, so she didn't prepare too much dough. When she felt the oil temperature was about right, she quickly used chopsticks to lift a piece of dough, then gently stretched it and put it into the oil.
The crackling sound drew everyone's attention to the oil pan.
Su Chenhao had eaten fried dough sticks outside before, and he saw them make them by cutting them into sections on a cutting board and then frying them in oil. Qiao Xiaoni's method was different from theirs, but the result was the same.
Soon the fried dough sticks were formed and placed in a basin to cool.
I only fried one batch of dough, and used the rest to make pies. I put chives and eggs in the pies, then fried them in a pan. After they were shaped, they were golden brown with yellow and green stripes, and they looked delicious.
Qiao Manli clapped her hands, "I want a pie!"
Qiao Xiaoni used chopsticks to flip the pancake in the pan. "It needs to be fried for another minute before it's ready to eat. You can eat it after it cools down."
If you burn your little tongue, you won't be able to eat good food anymore.
Qiao Manli nodded obediently, "Auntie, I will definitely wait until it cools down before eating."
Su Chenhao was increasingly impressed with Qiao Xiaoni; she got along so well with children. Thinking of his younger brother home alone, he said to Li Meihua…
"Auntie, my younger brother is ten years old and very well-behaved. I'd like to bring him over tomorrow. I'm a little worried about leaving him alone at home."
Li Meihua laughed, "Sure, you can bring your little brother over. It's just adding another pair of chopsticks. He can keep Manli company, and it's more lively with more children."
Su Chenhao was very happy, he did not expect that his life would change so dramatically in just a few days.
The last pie was done baking. Qiao Xiaoni raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead. "It's so hot!"
Tao Chunfang quickly handed over the wet towel, saying, "Hurry up and wipe your sweat off so you can cool off."
Qiao Xiaoni wiped the sweat off her face and glanced at the sky, which was already getting dark. "Pour out the oil from the pan and let it cool. Stir-fry some vegetables in the pan and we can start eating."
