Chapter 153 Leisurely
Author: cool beauty
After finishing the college entrance examination, Xiao Hong was really exhausted physically and mentally, feeling like her whole being had been hollowed out.
She was not nervous at first and felt that even if she failed the exam, she would have a way out.
But when she saw that her younger sister and most of her classmates were studying hard, getting up earlier than a chicken and going to bed later than a dog without using an alarm clock, and they were all discussing their studies during class, and they couldn't finish the papers anymore, which made her want to go to bed early.
I feel sorry for myself.
In particular, Xiao Fang was studying the questions carefully on the side, which made her feel that she was the control group for her younger sister, so she could only follow the test and sharpen her skills.
Now that the college entrance examination is over, she doesn't think about the results at all and just takes a deep sleep.
Next, she wanted to go to bed early and get up late, and wanted to live a leisurely and beautiful life with her shirt on, food on her hands, and her mouth open.
It's a pity that the little devil at home is now more than two months old, and he no longer sleeps like a piglet when he is just born, eating and drinking enough.
Child Zhao Yancan is awake more often now and has a bad temper. When he opened his eyes and didn't see anyone around him, he immediately burst into tears.
The cry was like a magical sound that pierced the ears, and could scare Xiao Hong out of her immersion in Zhou Gong's beauty.
Now the family has to sell stew at noon, which means it is a bit busy. Even if Wu Julan loves her son, she will not run up when she hears crying.
As the old saying goes, can you still exercise your lung capacity by crying?
Xiao Hong had no choice but to get up and take care of the little devil.
What made her even more tormented was that at this time, nine out of ten times, the little devil had either peed or had a bowel movement. He was just a dirty little kid.
She held her breath and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her brother had just peed. She changed his diaper a little unfamiliarly. She looked at the alarm clock and it was almost ten o'clock. She couldn't fall asleep even if she lay back down, so she hugged him.
The younger brother goes downstairs.
Downstairs, Grandma Zhao, Feifei and Xiao Fangyanyan were repairing a pot of small fish outside the back door.
Wu Julan is washing kelp, and Zhao Laosi is changing briquettes.
Except for her and her brother who have slept in until now, everyone in the family is busy.
But Xiao Hong is thick-skinned and will never blush because of this.
She came to Wu Julan: "Mom, go feed your brother some milk, and I'll wash the kelp."
This bone stewed kelp tastes good, but you have to be very careful when washing it, otherwise you will be disgusted by the guests if you eat sand.
Wu Julan kept holding her hands: "It's okay, can I practice my voice by howling a few times?"
She was also very happy when her son was born. No one could tell her that she could not give birth to a son anymore, and she felt very proud.
However, it has been two months, and the excitement has almost evaporated. Especially some time ago, her daughters were nervous about studying, and she was deeply afraid that her son's crying would affect her daughters.
Therefore, as soon as his son moved, he immediately picked him up and coaxed him, and he also pampered his son.
Now that her daughters have finished their exams, she is no longer impatient to serve her little ancestor so attentively.
After all, the first three daughters combined are not as difficult to take care of as the son.
I have to say that Xiao Hong felt a little happy when her mother said this.
Then she spurned herself, how could she compete with a brat for favor?
"Okay, let me give my brother some water." Xiao Hong fed him some warm water with a spoon, which really made him stop crying.
There are bamboo cradle upstairs and downstairs. It is said that Yanyan used them in the past, and now it is time for her younger brother to continue using them in summer.
But the little guy wasn't easy to fool, and he knew how to enjoy it, so he put him down and immediately opened his mouth and howled.
Xiao Hong could only continue to hold him and mutter: "Aren't you afraid of the heat when I hold you? I'm even afraid that you'll get prickly heat."
After saying that, he touched his younger brother's fleshy and soft chin.
Now their family is living a better life. Wu Julan eats well and can ensure that the little one has enough food. Therefore, the little one who is only more than two months old is white and fat, with round eyes, and is still very cute.
The little kid grinned unconsciously.
Zhao Laosi was very happy when he saw it. He felt that he was indeed his own son. He knew how to hug his thighs at such a young age.
In this summer, the last place Xiao Hong wants to go is the kitchen. There are six large briquette stoves, either making braised meat or stewing bones.
Entering the kitchen now is like entering a steamer.
When Zhao Laosi came out, his sweatshirt was half wet. He wiped his face with the towel hanging around his neck, then took a bowl and poured herbal tea into the earthenware teapot.
After drinking two bowls in a row, he sat on a stool next to him and picked up a cattail leaf fan to fan himself: "It's getting hotter and hotter today. You guys are on holiday now. If you feel too hot, you can go home and stay for a few days. There are still many places in the mountains.
Cool down."
There are two ceiling fans installed in the store, and Xiao Hong had turned them to the third setting before. The wind power is just right for someone like her who doesn't work.
Seeing how hot he was now, Xiao Hong missed the air conditioner.
But when she thought about the "sky-high price" of air conditioners, she could only think about it in her heart.
She asked about her family's business: "How is our business now?"
"A month ago, there were people selling stews like us on the old street. The price they set was three cents lower than ours. We here were a little affected."
Zhao Laosi was very anxious at first, but his daughters were very busy with their studies, so he and his family never mentioned it. Now when he heard her ask, he told the truth: "Fortunately, the weather is hot now.
Many shop owners are impatient to cook, so they come to patronize our business."
Most people would definitely be reluctant to go out to a restaurant.
It costs more than three yuan per person, and now a family of five is the minimum.
One meal for the whole family and a day's salary is gone.
But all the shops here have only opened businesses in the past few years, and they are willing to spend money if they can make money. What's more, the food in their shop tastes good, even if it is cheaper than the new one on the old street, most of them
People are still too lazy to go, and they still like to patronize their businesses.
Because Zhao Laosi has a good service attitude, if people don't want to go out to eat, he can deliver it to their doorstep.
Therefore, even if it is cheaper in the old street, he can sell fifty or sixty copies here at noon. If there is a freezer, it will not go rancid overnight.
Especially now that it’s summer vacation, some bosses say that their children buy dumplings to eat at their house in the morning, and eat either stew or fried chicken for lunch. Even if they eat dinner at home, their braised food is still on the table.
Xiao Hong had long thought that someone would follow suit.
Just like in her dream, there were more than a dozen snack bars opposite the clothing store, including claypot rice.
But the claypot rice sold in that store didn't taste very good. When she was greedy, she still took a few buses to go to a store that sold delicious claypot rice far away to have a meal.
Anyway, I will definitely go four or five times a month.
It can be seen that as long as the taste is good, even if it is a bit expensive, there will still be repeat customers.
Therefore, Xiao Hong was not worried about the lack of business in the store, but repeatedly warned: "It's summer, let's make less braised food. Even if there is a refrigerator, the taste of the braised food overnight will still be a little worse."
