Chapter 43: Dear sister!
When they left the shop, both siblings were very excited. Li Jinhu was because of the close contact with Xiao Taohong, and Li Haitang was because of the theater tickets. She seemed to see the money in the pockets.
"Have you chosen all?"
Xiao Lingchuan bought crystal elbow flowers and a sauced duck, and walked over from the opposite side of the street.
"OK OK."
Li Haitang and his younger brother blinked, Li Jinhu nodded to express understanding, the two siblings concealed the scene just now, and decided to surprise Xiao Lingchuan.
As the sun sets, a layer of fiery red clouds in the sky reflects on the quaint bluestone road, adding a sense of gravity to the border town of Beidi.
Before it was time to light the lights, Chun Niang prepared some dishes, stood at the door and looked around, saw Li Haitang's shadow, and hurriedly waved, "I have bought all the dishes, please come and have a meal, why are you bringing things! "
Even so, courtesy is reciprocal, Chun Niang is not short of this thing, but is happy for Li Haitang's attitude.
"How dare you come to the door empty-handed."
Li Haitang smiled and followed Chunniang into the door. Her house is a courtyard house, the east wing is close to the street, the main room is three rooms, the west wing is used as a warehouse, and the north corner is a stove.
The Buzhuang opened to welcome guests, and Chunniang had to take care of her husband, so she invited a pair of honest middle-aged couples. The man was strong and could help unload and carry the goods, and the woman did some chores. Chunniang was too busy. Time to cook.
"My husband just drank the decoction, so he should be asleep now."
Chun Niang looked at the main room with a worried expression on her face, but she quickly covered it up, "We are originally outsiders. We have been in the border town these years, and we have only met businessmen. We really don't have many friends. He is also very happy that you can come. "
In the main room, the meals have been set up, and they are all the special home-cooked dishes of the Northland, boiled pork slices, hot and sour potato shreds, crucian carp tofu, salt and pepper mushrooms and a plate of fried peanuts.
"Chun Niang, you made this? Don't talk about anything else, let's talk about the knife skills of potato shreds."
Li Haitang took a bite of the dish and was full of praise immediately. The crucian carp tofu was delicious and the crucian carp was spiny. It had been deep-fried and crispy. Adding tofu made a milky white soup with a layer of green onion sprinkled on top.
Li Haitang is good at cooking. She is mainly good at pastries and pastries. She is not sure that she can make this dish better.
"Eat more, don't treat me as an outsider."
The husband is seriously ill, and there are taboos in eating. Chun Niang eats alone. Except for business, she doesn't even have a confidant to talk to.
Ordinary people don't have the habit of not eating or sleeping, and the dinner is a good opportunity to bond with each other. Chunniang learned that they live in the mountains, so she kept trying to persuade Li Haitang to stay for a few more days.
"Actually, Brother Xiao and I haven't gotten married yet. This time, we are going to buy things and plan to decorate our new house."
The other party had a sincere friendship, and Li Haitang was not a hypocritical person. She told the truth about her situation and apologized. It was not because she deliberately concealed it, but because she couldn't say it.
"Haitang, you will be my own sister from now on, those people are just too deceitful!"
Chunniang didn't blame Li Haitang at all, on the contrary, her eyes were red, and she held her hand and choked up, "Don't be afraid, I will come to my sister when I am wronged in the future. The family business is still good, and you will eat everything!"
"Chun Niang..."
Li Haitang was very emotional, even if her relatives were like this, the one who took pity on her in the end was someone she had only known for a day, maybe it was fate.
At this moment, Chunniang was only focused on arguing for Li Haitang. In the days to come, she always thought it was funny when she recalled that time. It was the greatest luck in her life for her to lean against a big tree and get to know Li Haitang.
