"How is it almost done?" He Yushui disagreed.
"Sister Huairu still has Granny Jia at home to help look after the child. She can also help with washing clothes and cooking. She can even make clothes for others to subsidize a little. Aunt Zhao doesn't even have anyone to help.”
"That's true."”
He said softly," In the past, when Dongxu was around, Granny Jia was the housekeeper. She was so stingy, so she definitely had some left. Ah Bao, you know that he likes to read. He bought a bunch of books at home and spent all his salary on it. Didn't I help him search the house for the cremation? I only found a total of 30 yuan.”
Pausing for a moment, he sighed.”
He Yushui raised her eyebrows." Xiao Chen and Mi Li were taught very well by Brother Ah Bao and Sister-in-law. Just now, I asked him for some fried rice, and Xiao Chen even grabbed a handful and wanted to give it to me. The two of them are really different from Sister Huairu's."”
"Don't you think I'm a bit of a nerd?”Silly Zhu grinned.
"What bookworm?" He Yushui glared at him. That's because he has a good upbringing."
After dinner, He Yushui cleaned up the table and went out to wash the dishes. Then, he saw an old man sending Zhao Chunhua out.
An elder smiled and comforted him." Don't worry. No one can be a good fitter just because they were born. You have to learn and practice. There are people in the factory who teach you. Practice makes perfect."”
Zhao Chunhua nodded." Thank you so much. You see, I'm a country bumpkin. I can't read either. I have to go to work tomorrow, and I can't feel at ease. Now, I have a plan."”
Zhao Chunhua turned around and met He Yushui's gaze. She smiled and waved at him."Little girl, you're off work? Have you eaten?"
He Yushui nodded repeatedly." I've eaten, I've eaten. What about you, Auntie?"”
"Soon, go ahead!"
Passing by Silly Pillar's door, Zhao Chunhua carried the children back into the house.
He even patted Lin Chen and Mi Li's buttocks,""Why are you sitting on the ground? Pants are easy to tear if they are worn out. It doesn't look good if they are mended. You know what? Sit on the chair.”
Lin Chen and Mi Li immediately sat on the small stools obediently.
Zhao Chunhua took the steamer down and took out the steamed buns inside. She turned around and took out a black jar. She picked up some pickles and placed them on the plate before saying,"Come, let's eat!"
Seeing Lin Chen and the others blowing on the steamed buns, He Yushui smiled. When she turned around and saw Zhao Chunhua take out a black steamed bun, she was stunned again.
" Brother, brother…" He Yushui entered the house and started talking to Shazhu mysteriously.
Silly Zhu was happily combing her hair when she heard this and frowned.
"What are you doing?"
"Brother, Aunt Zhao is eating a hard black steamed bun.”
"Isn't this quite normal?"
Nowadays, there was only one worker in the family, and the salary was almost not enough to spend. They would choose the cheaper cornmeal for food, and the cornbread made from it was also very filling.
This kind of wheat was dark and could also be made into steamed buns. It was just that it was thick and scratched the throat. It was very difficult to swallow. It was only eaten during the famine years. There were very few people now.
Silly Zhu and the rest had been eating black steamed buns for years.
However, after all these years, he did not want to see the black steamed buns again.
"What normal? She gave Xiao Chenmi a white steamed bun and gave herself a black one. Auntie…" He Yushui sighed." You can compare it to Granny Jia."”
"Is there a need to compete?" Silly Zhu rolled his eyes. I can't even be bothered to talk to her."
He Yushui pouted." I used to think that Aunt Zhao was a spendthrift when she cooked rice for Xiao Chen and the others. I didn't expect her to live like this. She's completely different from Granny Jia."”
"Not to mention Granny Jia, she's even more different from your second uncle.”
At the mention of Second Uncle, He Yushui rolled her eyes."Why are you talking about him? First Uncle was still around. He loved to show off and talk to the people in the factory, and he almost ruined the compensation.”
"I won't say it, I won't say it. Hurry up and go back to sleep before Granny Jia makes a fuss.”
"Hey, I'll go back to my room first."
In Lin Chen's room, he could not eat anymore after taking a few bites of the mantou. He stared at the black mantou in Zhao Chunhua's hand.
Zhao Chunhua blinked and subconsciously hid the black steamed bun behind her back.
"Grandma, I want to eat that!"
"No!" Zhao Chunhua probably felt that her tone was too harsh and smiled." Xiao Chen, this bun is cold. Grandma is an adult and can eat it, but you're a child. You can't eat it!”
Lin Chen was speechless.
These words were only meant to deceive children.
He just felt that he had never seen a black steamed bun before and wanted to try it.
"Grandma ~"
Children still had an advantage. Once they acted coquettishly, Zhao Chunhua's heart softened.
She thought about it and gave some to Lin Chen."Take small bites. Even if you can't eat it, you have to swallow it. Food can't be wasted, understand?”
Lin Chen nodded and took a bite.
As soon as it entered his mouth, there was a thick fiber feeling. After chewing it carefully, Lin Chen frowned.
Not only was it tasteless, but why did it feel like it couldn't be chewed?
Zhao Chunhua smiled." See? You didn't believe me when I told you. You kids are still young. You don't like this steamed bun."”
Mi Li didn't believe it. She took a bite and spat it out on the table.
Zhao Chunhua smiled as she stuffed the food she spat out into her mouth.
"Hurry up and eat the white steamed buns. Children are suitable to eat white steamed buns. When your teeth grow back, you can eat black ones like Grandma's.”
