Chapter 159: Active Mind

A few people from the second room had lunch in the countryside and were about to return.

"Second brother, when you were a high school student, is it true that our family doesn't have a banquet?" Gu Laosan still looked pityful when he mentioned this matter.

Mrs. Gu also nodded vigorously: "Yes, second brother, it's been a long time since our house was lively."

Gu Mingda understood the old man's love for fun, but he still shook his head: "Mom, our family just held a happy event for the third child in spring, have you forgotten?"

Mrs. Gu curled her lips and said: "A marriage is a marriage, and going to school is a schooling. I don't know what you think. Other people have to have a drink and collect money when they are admitted to the school. When it comes to you, what the hell are you doing?" I don’t want to do any big happy events.”

Mrs. Gu said that the person who always drinks when something goes wrong is none other than Zhang Guangzong. When he was admitted to the Tongsheng Examination, he made a big show of it. I don't know how many people in the village were whispering about this behind their backs.

Gu Mingda chuckled lightly and said: "Mom, let's hold less happy events so that the people in the village can relax. Otherwise, it will be a day-to-day business of favors, and many families will not be able to afford it."

Boss Gu doesn't have any thoughts of being lively. After all, for him, the days of having wine and food are no different from being lively every day.

"Yes, mother, what if my second brother becomes an official in the future and anyone in the village comes with three melons and two dates as a gift and insists on my second brother's help?" Boss Gu said.

When specific interests were involved, Mrs. Gu's lively thoughts were immediately wiped out: "This can't be done! It's okay if we don't have a banquet. Let's have some fun at home later!"

Gu Mingda's family is going to Beijing, but their house and shop in the city have not been completely rented out.

"Second sister-in-law, please give me your trouble." Zheng Cuier put two baskets of soy products on the carriage.

Zhang Yunniang nodded lightly.

After Zheng Cuier married into the Gu family, she made tofu with Gu Laosan. The eldest couple kept an eye on the tofu, but she was sensitive to the limited sales of tofu.

She is a quick thinker, and she actually came up with several other bean products. Now she sent two large baskets to Zhang Yunniang, just to ask the second house to help and see if she can find a buyer in the city.

"The tofu curd made by sister Cui'er is delicious. I think you should go to the city to set up a stall to sell tofu curd." Niu Niu suddenly said.

Zhang Yunniang whispered: "Niuniu, you should be called Third Aunt."

Zheng Cuier smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, it's okay. Niuniu can call you whatever you want. Niuniu, do you really think the tofu pudding I made is delicious?"

Although she said this, Niu Niu listened to Zhang Yunniang's words and changed her words obediently: "Third aunt, I have never eaten better tofu curd than yours. You sprinkled it with salt and chopped green onion, and you fried it." It’s made with soybeans and minced meat, and a little spicy. It’s really delicious.”

Everyone couldn't help but salivate as they listened to Niu Niu's description, as if it was some delicacy that was hard to find in the world.

Chen Chunhua said angrily: "Third brother and sister, you didn't leave a bowl for us when you made tofu curd, but you also let us taste it. What a rare delicacy this is."

The adults didn't get to eat, but the children were full.

"The tofu curd made by my mother is really, really delicious!" Gu Xiaoya said proudly.

Gu Xiaobao also nodded vigorously. At first he was resistant to this stepmother, but he had no choice. The tofu curd made by his stepmother was so delicious!

Gu Daya couldn't help but licked her tongue and said, "It's so delicious that I can't wait to swallow it."

Gu Yun also followed: "Third Aunt, if you go to the city to sell tofu pudding, I will take care of your business every day."

Chen Chunhua was a person who didn't want to suffer any losses, so she said: "You still pay for your own business? It's just a little bit of bean curd, and it's not valuable."

The more eager she was to protect her son, the more Gu Yun wanted to poke her lungs: "If my family doesn't pay for their business, then all the money will be made by outsiders. I really want to let my family make money."

Chen Chunhua was very angry when she heard this: "I can't even save it with your money, I have to let someone else take it from me!"

Gu Yun took advantage of the situation and said: "If you stop thinking about what you have and what you don't have, then I will make money in the city and spend it in the city without taking a penny home."

Chen Chunhua's nose was almost twisted because of her own son's anger.

Zheng Cuier listened to the family praising her for doing a good job in the bean curd. She felt a little more confident and said to Niu Niu: "Since Niu Niu has said so, if these dried bean curds cannot be sold, I will go to the city." Set up a small stall and try it.”

In her mind, she regarded selling bean curd as a way out.

Niu Niu tilted her head and said, "Auntie, maybe the dried tofu and bean curd can be sold, and people are clamoring for the tofu pudding. After all, auntie's craftsmanship is so good, and everything she makes is delicious."

Zheng Cui'er was very happy to be praised by the little girl, her eyes narrowed with laughter, and she said: "Then I will honor Niuniu's good words. When the time comes, I will sell bean curds, and your third uncle will make bean curds at home."

Niu Niu tilted her head and said, "Then aunt will be able to earn a lot of money, buy a big house, and eat well and drink spicy food every day."

Listening to this description, Zheng Cuier also felt extremely beautiful.

Niuniu was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, so she said: "The soybeans fried by my aunt are delicious. They are not the kind that can't be bitten. They are chewy and have an endless aftertaste. I can eat a big plate if they are eaten alone, not to mention the fragrant and tender beans. The bean curd..."

Zhang Yunniang said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I must try the bean curd made by my brothers and sisters. When Niuniu said this, I feel as if all the bean curd made in the past ten years has been in vain."

Zheng Cuier said: "It's a pity that it's too late today. I will send it to the city another day so that my second sister-in-law can have a good taste."

Zhang Yunniang was also really thinking about Zheng Cuier, and said: "If you really want to sell tofu pudding, it's inevitable that it will be thin if you only sell salty ones."

"You can also make sweet ones! Add red bean paste and dried fruits! Sweet ones are also delicious!" Niuniu started planning for Zheng Cuier on the spot.

Zheng Cuier felt as if her own stall was about to open.

Even though Niuniu was reluctant, the carriage still set off towards the county. Only Gu Yun stayed behind. He happened to have a day off and would stay at home for two more days.

As soon as the carriage disappeared at the intersection, Chen Chunhua said: "Niuniu is going home today. You have played all day. Your second brother's clothes haven't been washed yet. Hurry up and work."

"Second brother does nothing all day long. Can't he wash his clothes himself?" Gu Daya muttered in a low voice.

Chen Chunhua heard the end of the conversation and said, "Lazy girl, what are you talking about? Just work when I ask you to work, why are you talking so much nonsense? Won't you work when you go to your husband's house in the future?"

Gu Daya replied casually, "You didn't work at your husband's house. You were lazy every day before the separation."

Chen Chunhua was so anxious that she started to beat him.

Gu Daya wanted to run away, but when she thought of Niuniu's words, she looked up and hid behind Gu Yun.

"Brother, save me, my mother is going to beat me to death!" Gu Daya shouted.

Gu Yun took a step forward without any hesitation and stood in front of his sister.

Chen Chunhua was so angry that she jumped up and down: "Get out of the way, or I'll beat you too!"

Gu Daya shouted: "You are biased!"

Chen Chunhua didn't feel that she was wrong at all, and said: "Every girl in the village is like this, other girls do more work than you, why don't they quarrel with their families?"

"If other families are like this, is it right? Why don't you see Niuniu like this? Even Aunt San is not like this!" Gu Daya said, tears suddenly fell.
