Gao Baozhu was too embarrassed to take the food, so he waved his hands and said, "No, no, you can keep it for yourself. I just came out of the house and I won't be back home for a while, so I won't take it."

Luo Qiao stuffed the bag into his hands and said, "Most of these things are dry goods that can be stored for a long time. I'll add some dishes for you to try during the New Year. This is my little token of my appreciation."

After seeing Gao Baozhu off and preparing to return to the yard, I saw Shitou coming back with something. He stood there waiting for people to come closer, and then I could see clearly that he was holding a porcelain basin.

Luo Qiao asked: "What's the matter? Why are you running outside in such a heavy snow?"

Shitou smiled and said, "I went to Grandpa Zhang's house in front. Sister, didn't you say you wanted to eat tofu that day? At noon, my brother told me to go to Grandpa Zhang's house to get tofu in the afternoon. Sister, my brother is so good to you."

Luo Qiao patted Shitou's shoulder lightly: "Come into the house quickly, as if he is not nice to you, then don't eat this tofu."

Shitou ran away with a smile, saying as he ran: "That won't do, I brought this tofu back."

Luo Qiao shouted from behind: "Don't run, be careful not to fall."

Shitou put the porcelain basin away and came out, looking at the snow that was still falling: "I'm afraid this snow won't melt until the New Year. Sister, you are leaving the day after tomorrow, when will you be back?"

Luo Qiao thought for a moment and said, "Before school starts, why don't Shitou go to Beijing with his sister to celebrate the New Year."

Shitou lowered his head and was a little conflicted. He actually wanted to follow his sister to Beijing, but he was afraid of causing trouble for his sister. He looked up and said, "My brother has to be on duty during the New Year, so I'd better stay and celebrate the New Year with him. Sister, you should come back earlier."

Luo Qiao touched Dashitou's head and said, "Well, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Shitou raised his head and said with a smile: "Sister, let's eat hand-rolled noodles and use more dried eggplant and tofu as the sauce."

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Okay, then go get some dried eggplants for me and soak them in water first."

When the meal was almost ready, Luo Qiao asked, "Shi Tou, does the Zhang family up ahead still have tofu?"

Shitou said, "Yes, many neighbors exchange soybeans for tofu."

Luo Qiao checked the time and said, "Shi Tou, then you can accompany me to Zhang's house. Let's exchange some tofu. I'll fry some tofu balls for myself and save the soaked tofu for you to stew during the New Year."

Stone put on his hat and said, "Okay, let's go."

After closing the gate and the stone, they walked towards Zhang's house in the alley ahead. When they arrived, there were still people exchanging tofu in the yard.

When Old Man Zhang saw Shitou coming over again, he asked, "Didn't you take the tofu away? Why are you here again?"

Shitou smiled and said, "Grandpa Zhang, my sister said she wanted to exchange some more fried tofu balls for food."

Old Zhang smiled and said, "That's great." He nodded to Luo Qiao.

An auntie nearby laughed and said, "You can make meatballs out of tofu?"

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Well, it's the same method as making vegetarian meatballs, very simple."

The auntie smiled and said, "Then I'll try it later, so I can change my taste during the Chinese New Year."

Luo Qiao handed the soybeans to Grandpa Zhang: "Grandpa Zhang, weigh them."

Mr. Zhang weighed the tofu quickly and placed it in the porcelain basin brought by Luo Qiao.

When Luo Qiao and Shitou came out of Zhang's house, they ran into Jiang Dongli and his wife. They didn't look very happy and seemed to be arguing about something.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Luo Qiao asked: "What happened to you?"

Qu Meimei was a person who liked to joke around, but now she had a worried look on her face. She sighed and said, "My father-in-law's illness has worsened. He just came back from discussing something at the old house."

Luo Qiao had no choice but to say, "Then go home and rest quickly. Only after a good rest can you have the energy to do other things."

At this time, Jiang Bo, the eldest son of the Jiang family, chased over and said to his parents, "Mom and Dad, I asked around, but I'm afraid it's hard to find. If it doesn't work, I'll go to the countryside and see if I can find it with luck."

Jiang Dongli also had a worried look on his face. He just said, "Let's go home first and discuss it."
