Reborn 99 Days Later, Becoming a Landlady and Getting into Tsinghua and Peking Universities

"Auntie? Why did you bring so many potatoes again?"

Having just woken up, Liang Yili saw Yan Moli carrying another bag of potatoes and asked curiously.

Yan Moli wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Hey! Don't you love to eat this?"

It's alright, we don't have much else at home, but we have plenty of potatoes.

Let me know when you've finished eating, and I'll bring you more!

As she spoke, Yan Moli took her hands out from behind her back and looked at Liang Yili and her sister:

"I made you two a pair of cloth shoes, why don't you try them on?"

The Liang sisters were taken aback.

He stared blankly at the old cloth shoes with layered soles in Yan Moli's hand.

Seeing that the two sisters didn't speak, Yan Moli subconsciously tightened her grip on the old cloth shoes in her hand, and said somewhat awkwardly:

“I see you always wear the same pair of shoes.”

Don't let the appearance of old cloth shoes fool you; they're breathable, don't make your feet feel stuffy, and are easy to walk in.

You guys are running up and down all day, and it's so hot..."

Yan Moli's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, and she instinctively tried to pull her outstretched hand back.

Liang Yili's clear and bright eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of her mouth turned up as she quickly took the old cloth shoes from Yan Moli's hands:

"Auntie, I've always dreamed of owning a pair of old cloth shoes!"

I've never worn shoes like this before in my entire life!

You have no idea how envious I am when I see other people with nice clothes!

Looking at the simple patterns on the upper of the old cloth shoes and the stitched edges of the shoe upper, a hint of emotion flashed in Liang Ruotao's eyes.

Liang Yili ran out quickly.

After rinsing my feet with water and drying them, I sat down on the small stool to try on the shoes.

To prevent her shoes from getting dirty, she deliberately placed a burlap sack underneath them.

Yan Moli squatted down in front of Liang Yili and pressed her hand against the toe of her shoe:

"How is it? Is it too tight?"

Liang Yili walked a few steps on the burlap sack wearing shoes, and said cheerfully:

"Perfect! Just right!"

Yan Moli breathed a sigh of relief: "I made it based on guesswork, I was just afraid it would be too small."

"As long as it's suitable! As long as it's suitable!"

Yan Moli then went to look at Liang Ruotao, and after confirming that her shoes also fit, she smiled and said:

"If you like wearing cloth shoes and find them comfortable, your aunt will make all your cloth shoes from now on!"

As Liang Ruotao wore these cloth shoes for the first time, she felt the lightness and comfort under her feet and quickly suppressed the complicated emotions in her eyes.

Liang Yili then seized the opportunity and said, "Auntie, I'll take what you're saying seriously!"

"I'm serious! I was worried you wouldn't be used to wearing it and wouldn't think it looked good."

If you like them, I'll make another pair for each of you when I get back.

Before giving away the cloth shoes, Yan Moli felt uneasy.

The Liang sisters were both city girls before, I wonder if they would find cloth shoes old-fashioned?

But now, seeing that the two sisters genuinely like the cloth shoes she made, Yan Moli is happier than anything else.

I wish I could go back immediately and make two more pairs overnight.

Liang Yili saw that Yan Moli looked like she was about to go back to work.

He quickly grabbed her arm, looking at the dark circles under her eyes, his tone complicated:

"It's alright, we have plenty of time, there's no rush."

You helped stir the paste at night, and you still have to work during the day, so go back and rest!

Cloth shoes can be made anytime!

Yan Moli touched her eyes and smiled, "Okay! I'll head back now."

With that, Yan Moli turned and left.

Just as she was about to step out the door.

Liang Ruotao suddenly called out to her.

"Aunt?"

"Ok?"

"Thank you!"

Yan Moli was taken aback for a moment, then waved her hand: "Hey! It's no big deal!"

Liang Yili noticed that Liang Ruotao was looking at the thick, multi-layered soles of the shoes without saying a word.

He stepped forward and touched her arm: "Sister?"

Liang Ruotao shook her head: "It's nothing!"

Liang Yili glanced at the unfinished potatoes in the corner and an idea struck her.

Grabbing a few small potatoes, I went to the kitchen and, relying on the knife skills I honed in my past life as a farmhand, quickly spun a potato ring.

Skewer them again, light a fire, add oil, and put them in the pot. The potato tower will instantly take shape in the pot.

Liang Yili took out the powder she had prepared for grilling and sprinkled it on.

"Sister, would you like to try some?"

The freshly fried potato towers emitted an enticing aroma that made one's mouth water.

The outer layer is golden and crispy, with a slight sheen that glistens in the light.

Through the outer skin, you can see some tiny bubbles on the surface of the tower.

When Liang Yili gently touched the potato tower with her fingers, the outer shell made a crisp sound.

Open the outer shell, and you'll find a potato tart filling that's soft, slightly sticky mashed potatoes, emitting a rich potato aroma.

The sweetness of the potatoes intertwines with the slightly charred flavor produced during frying, creating an irresistible taste.

With one bite, the crispy outer layer immediately bursts in your mouth, creating a striking contrast with the soft mashed potatoes inside.

Liang Ruotao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Delicious!"

After finishing one skewer, Liang Yili fried two more and went to Hua Yuanqing's house.

He called his two younger cousins ​​over: "Hey!"

The two younger cousins ​​looked curiously at the potato tower in Liang Yili's hand: "Cousin, what is this?"

"Want to try my freshly fried potato tower?"

In this era when everyone is lacking in oil and fat, the allure of fried food is simply irresistible!

My two younger cousins ​​were no exception; after taking a bite, they were instantly amazed by its deliciousness.

He grabbed the potato tower and ran outside.

"Where are you going?" Yan Moli called out.

"Let's go find our friends to play!"

The two carried the potato tower past the gates of one house after another, quickly attracting a stream of children.

What are you holding in your hands?

"My cousin Pear gave this to me!"

As they spoke, the two of them took a bite in front of all the children.

The child bit his finger and swallowed, asking, "What does it taste like?"

"It smells delicious and is crispy!"

As they talked, the two of them took another bite.

Older children can still hold it in.

He just held his saliva in his mouth and didn't dare to speak.

I'm afraid that if I open my mouth, saliva will spill out.

Those who are younger and have less self-control will immediately be tempted and cry.

The two younger cousins ​​looked at each other in bewilderment.

Seeing everyone staring at the potato tower in his hand with gleaming eyes, he quickly protected the potato tower with his hands and ran home as fast as he could.

The others followed behind in pursuit.

As a result, Liang Yili, who was still communicating with Hua Yuanqing about the rotating blade, was surrounded by a group of little children of all sizes, with snot bubbles running down their noses.

"Grandma/Auntie Pear!"

After the children finished shouting, they didn't say anything, but just stared at Liang Yili with their big eyes.

Seeing her two younger cousins ​​looking guilty, Liang Yili knew exactly what she was talking about.

Fortunately, the children's parents arrived in time and quickly took their children home.

However, one of the parents suddenly stopped in his tracks as he was leaving.

He looked at Liang Yili with a hesitant expression, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Liang Yili touched her face: "Is there something on my face?"

"No, Pear, I went out today and heard something."

I heard something?

Liang Yili looked at her curiously: "What's wrong?"

"Your stepmother stole your grandparents' and your father's money and ran away!"
