Chapter 51: Busy raising a family in a foreign land 51
In the kitchen, Xu Ayu watched Wei Miao's actions and felt a pang of pain in his heart.
"Putting so much rock sugar in it, oh no, I can't do that. It will make me so heartbroken."
When Xu Ayu heard Wei Miao say that he wanted to add half a pound of rock sugar to make sugar color, he quickly refused.
Wei Miao put the half pound of rock sugar he bought into the frying pan.
Xu Ayu's face changed. She had never cooked on such a grand scale before.
Thinking that these were all bought by her daughter, she said suspiciously:
"Ah Miao, you are hiding something from mom!"
Wei Miao pretended to be honest and said:
"I came up with an idea and started a small antique business with Mr. Lu. I got some tips, but I've spent most of it."
Xu Ayu looked at the two silver coins that Wei Miao handed over, took them, blew on them, listened to the sound in his ears, and said happily:
"Ama will save it for you as a dowry in the future."
Wei Ling suddenly popped up at this time and corrected:
"Mom, you are wrong. It should be a betrothal gift. Brother is marrying a wife, not a man!"
Xu Ayu rolled his eyes at her and said unhappily, "You are everywhere!"
Wei Ling made a face at Wei Miao and ran away again.
That night, the air in the entire Julanli Alley was filled with the rich aroma of braised meat.
The crying of children also came one after another.
At the dinner table, Wei Ada happily picked up a piece of braised pork intestines:
"If there was wine, it would be perfect."
Many fish didn't even roll their eyes at him, and just gave half a pig's trotter to each of the smaller ones, saying:
"Eat enough today and get a good night's sleep."
Feeling left out, Wei Ada lowered his head to eat silently, and then he found that there were a lot more things in his bowl.
Looking up, he found that several cubs were covering their mouths and looking at him and laughing, while Xu Ayu, who always had sharp eyes, was just eating and didn't see anything.
The next morning, when Wei Miao woke up, he felt the room was particularly damp and cold.
I heard Xu Ayu talking in the yard, "Miss Li, why are you still going out in this heavy snow?"
Li Xiaoya's voice was different from usual. This time, it was filled with genuine joy. "I haven't seen snow for a long time. I went out to enjoy the snow with Brother Ziyang."
After Miss Li left, I heard many fish murmur:
"People with intellectual talents are different. What's so good about snow? Why would you appreciate it?"
She said her last sentence by imitating Miss Li in a pinched voice, and she ended up laughing herself after she said it.
Wei Miao got up, and Ali also stretched out on the ground with his four legs scratching the ground, then curled up in his soft cat bed to rest.
Wei Miao squatted down and stroked its back a few times. It turned over its belly and made a snoring sound.
When I went out, the cold wind was mixed with snowflakes, and the aroma of last night's braised food still lingered faintly in the air.
"Mom, does it snow in Shen City every year?" Wei Miao put on the new coat made for her by Xu Ayu, curled up behind the stove, and put her hands on the stove hole to keep warm.
Xu Ayu, who was packing the stewed food, said without even raising his head:
"It snowed in Shen City before, but it doesn't snow every year. This much snow is even more uncommon. I'm afraid it will be hard to endure this year."
Wei Miao turned his head and looked through the kitchen window at the heavy snow falling outside.
She had looked through the geographical records of Shen City and found many records of cold waves in Shen City's history.
The most serious incident was the destruction of roads and bridges. The Huangpu River and Suzhou River were completely frozen, making it impossible for boats to sail in the harbor and the roads deserted.
"The time you were sick, wasn't it because of the sudden drop in temperature and snow that caused your high fever? I was scared to death at the time. I held you in my arms all night long, thinking, if the King of Hell wants to take my life, just take me with you, and don't take my daughter with you."
When Xu Ayu finished speaking, his voice was choked with sobs.
Wei Miao stood up, put his arm around her waist, and was about to say something to respond to her feelings when he heard the crazy woman pretending to be impatient:
"You're so grown up, and yet you're so disgusting."
Although she said this, she did not push Wei Miao away.
When her daughter was young, she and Wei Ada were busy making a living, and the child was raised by her grandparents, who were not very close to her.
Later, when her daughter had a high fever that wouldn't go away, she was shocked to realize that the child had grown up in the blink of an eye. When she wanted to get close to him, Wei Miao had become so steady that he no longer acted like a child.
When Wei Ping rushed in, she saw her elder brother and mother being affectionate, and hurried to join in.
"Big pot, mom, I want to hug it too!"
The little girl had a soft voice and the hair on her head stood up because of the static electricity from Xu Ayu's clothes, which was very funny.
Wherever there is one, there will be a group of them, surrounding it in circles and layers, jumping and dancing, having fun and feeling happy.
Xu Ayu finally lost all his patience and shouted impatiently:
"It's so annoying! Get out of here!"
After the group of cubs dispersed like birds and beasts, Wei Miao looked at the marinated food that Xu Ayu had already packaged and asked:
"Mom, are you going to sell it?"
Xu Ayu put away the last few pieces of lotus root and radish before replying:
"There was such a big commotion in our house yesterday, we have to appease the neighbors."
Wei Ling, who had not left, stared at the dozen or so stewed dishes in the bowls and said with a pained look:
"Mom, these have to be given away. We haven't eaten enough yet."
Like all mothers, Xu Ayu is willing to pass on life experience and wisdom to her children.
"I listened to your eldest brother yesterday and put some lotus root slices, bean knots, kelp... put a little bit of the same in the braised meat, and add a small section of braised large intestine or two or three slices of pig liver. It looks exquisite and affordable. A bowl doesn't cost much."
Wei Ling curled her lips. She was most afraid of being hungry and was also the most protective of her food.
"My mother has become very rich. She used to count the rice grains when she cooked porridge, but now she says a big bowl of porridge is not worth the money."
Xu Ayu laughed in anger, but still patiently taught her:
"Go call your second brother."
Wei Ling snorted and turned to leave.
Xu Ayu looked at Wei Li who was helping to arrange the dishes and sighed in his heart, each girl has a different personality.
When we were having breakfast, the snow outside had covered the ground in a layer of white. The children were curious and happy at first, but later they were so cold that they stayed in the house to warm themselves by the fire and were unwilling to come out.
Wei Ada parked his rickshaw in the empty grocery room, looked at the door, and sighed:
"It's snowing heavily, I don't know if the road is safe for driving."
Xu Ayu ignored him completely and took Wei Miao and a few older children with him to deliver braised food to the neighbors in the alley door to door in the snow.
Little Jiangsu looked at the various sauce-colored dishes in the bowl, squinted his eyes and smiled:
"Oh, that's the smell. I was so hungry last night that I wanted to knock on your door and buy some."
Xu Ayu brought another bowl and placed it on the table where people were eating wontons. He said to the group of people eating wontons with a smile:
"Everyone, try it and check it for me. My family will rely on this to make a living."
There were men and women working at the wonton stall, all of them residents of this alley. Last night, everyone was drooling and their children were crying.
I felt sad and a little resentful at the same time.
Now, looking at this ordinary bowl of food in front of me, I feel very curious.
After the food entered their mouths, it was full of fragrance and everyone praised it highly.
Although it is an ordinary and common ingredient, it tastes unique when eaten.
