Since the start of selling breakfast and dry food, the daily business of the food stall has become more popular. The stall has been lively from the morning to the closing in the afternoon, and Li Hehua has more old customers.
Seeing that the breakfast business was quite good, Li Hehua planned to add a few more things to drink: soy milk porridge and spicy paste soup, which can be eaten with steamed buns and steamed buns.
Li Hehua deliberately bought three large wooden buckets with lids, washed them inside and out with clean water many times, and then scalded them with boiling water twice to disinfect them. After washing them, they were used to store soy milk porridge and spicy paste soup for sale.
The porridge and spicy paste soup are very easy to make, and they can be made with a pot at home, but the soy milk needs to buy a stone mill to grind it out. In this alley, there are households that have a stone mill, but you can borrow it once or twice. It’s not good to borrow it every day, so Li Hehua went to buy a stone mill and put it in the yard. The first thing to do every morning is to grind soy milk. Go to the stall again.
The stone mills of this era are all made of stone, which is very heavy, and it takes a lot of effort to push.
When Li Hehua was grinding for the first time, her arm was sore for several days, but she gritted her teeth and persevered. After a few days, she got used to it. At the same time, she also found that grinding soy milk is very helpful for weight loss, because she continued to push well After a few days of stone grinding, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the newly made clothes on my body became loose again, and I lost weight much faster than before, and now it is only 134 pounds at most.
Li Hehua couldn't help touching his face, and took out the mirror he bought and took a look at it, and found that the flesh on his face also decreased a lot. It used to be full of flesh, but now it is only slightly fleshy, and the facial features look clear. A lot of them, I gradually got a feeling of being beautiful. In addition to the original owner's skin that was originally white, the face looks good now, at least it's not ugly.
Thinking about the ugly appearance of the original owner when I first came here, and looking at it now, Li Hehua feels that she has sublimated. This is progress. I can't stop bubbling in my heart, and I feel that I am not tired at all.
"Boss, why are you so happy?" the guest who came to buy breakfast asked. It's just this sound...
Li Hehua raised his eyes and found that Gu Dafeng was standing in front of him. The corner of his mouth froze, "It's nothing, nothing. Oh, what do you want to buy?"
Gu Dafeng didn't care either, as if he didn't see Li Hehua's unnaturalness, he smiled and ordered two steamed buns and a roujiamo, and then he skillfully took the food and went to sit on the table at the back to eat.
Li Hehua twitched the corners of his mouth.
This Gu Dafeng comes to her every day to buy breakfast, and sometimes has lunch, and has been here for five consecutive days. At first, Li Hehua only regarded him as an ordinary guest, and he had warmly entertained him, but the paper couldn't contain the fire, Li Hehua still knew his identity from Cao Simei's mouth, and then he was embarrassed.
Li Hehua asked Cao Simei, but Cao Simei said that she had made it clear to Gu Dafeng. Gu Dafeng knew Li Hehua's attitude in his heart, but he didn't know why he still came to her every day to buy food, maybe he really liked the food on the stall.
Li Hehua couldn't figure it out either, so he could only treat him as an ordinary guest, even a little colder than an ordinary guest. I hope this person doesn't have other ideas, and everyone treats him as an ordinary host-guest relationship.
Cao Simei was also anxious when she saw it, she couldn't help looking for Gu Dafeng again, pulling him to the side to speak, "I said Dafeng, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you clearly a few days ago? ?"
Gu Dafeng lowered his head and was silent for a while, then raised his head to look at Cao Simei, and said what was in his heart, "Eldest sister, I know what she means, don't worry, I will not disturb her. I just went back and thought about it, I think she really It's good, it's a blessing to be able to marry such a woman, isn't she unwilling to marry now, that doesn't mean she won't change her mind in the future, maybe she wants to marry again in the future, so I think, anyway, I'm now Don't be in a hurry to start a family, why don't you come and meet her more, get familiar with her, and if she wants to get married in the future, I can still fight for it."
When Gu Dafeng heard that Li Hehua didn't want to see each other that day, he was really uncomfortable, so that he couldn't stay any longer and left immediately. After returning, he comforted himself in his heart not to care about it, it was no big deal. Who knew that self-comfort was ineffective. Looking at the Roujiamo and Jiangxiang pancakes he brought back, he couldn't help but think of her.
She always smiles when she sells things, and her attitude is very gentle, which makes people feel very comfortable. The things she cooks are really delicious, and he has never eaten such delicious food; and she is a woman who can rely on herself. The power to support such a big stall is still busy and orderly, which is really amazing.
He had never seen such a woman before, and was different from the women in the village he had come into contact with in his life. She is very special and has a special attraction. Although she is not good-looking and has a fat body, she does not make people feel ugly, but she really wants to get along with her.
If you can become husband and wife with such a woman, life must be very delicious.
Gu Dafeng didn't know what to do, so he came to town again the next day, came to this stall to buy food, and wanted to come back the next day after eating. It went on like this for several days.
He plans to come when he is free in the future, but he won't have the cheek to disturb her, he just thinks that at least he can take this opportunity to get acquainted with her, so that when she changes her mind, maybe there will be a chance, and then I will see her again. Let Sister Cao talk about it, in all likelihood it will be successful.
Anyway, he doesn't particularly want to marry a woman and go home now, and he still has to find a woman who suits his heart, and he is willing to wait patiently.
After listening to Gu Dafeng's words, Cao Simei didn't know what to say. In fact, there was nothing wrong with him doing this. Anyway, he didn't disturb Sister Lotus. Can't people come to buy food
And to be honest, what he did was quite impressive.
So Cao Simei sighed, unable to say anything, hoping that Li Hehua would change his mind one day.
As it approached the meal time, Li Hehua removed the breakfast items to make room for lunch.
First put the steamer on the trolley and put it away, and then turned around to get the wooden bucket for the soy milk porridge. As soon as he turned around, someone moved the things first.
The visitor turned out to be Zhang Tieshan, who had not seen him for several days.
Li Hehua was surprised for a moment, and then took the initiative to say hello, "Zhang Tieshan, are you coming to sell prey today?" Because she saw the prey on the ground.
Zhang Tieshan stared at Li Hehua without blinking.
Li Hehua wondered, "Zhang Tieshan, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Tieshan didn't say anything, he made a low "um", bypassed Li Hehua and put the three wooden barrels on the cart. Without Li Hehua's intervention, he moved all the remaining things.
Li Hehua was helpless in his heart, why every time Zhang Tieshan came to help her with work, she had nothing to do.
Zhang Tieshan didn't leave after moving things, and sat down at the table.
Li Hehua guessed that he wanted to meet Shulin. After all, he hadn't been here for several days. He must have missed his son, so he made him a super-sized rice bowl and served it to him, "You have some lunch first. , when Shulin finishes school, you can go to pick up Shulin with me."
Zhang Tieshan nodded and lowered his head to eat.
Li Hehua took care of himself to cook food for other guests.
At noon, the number of guests gradually increased, Li Hehua was too busy to rest, and Dahe was too busy to touch the ground, so there were still many people waiting for a table to eat. Da He has to serve meals, collect money and clear the table, so the speed cannot keep up with Li Hehua's cooking speed.
After Zhang Tieshan finished his last mouthful of rice, he wiped his mouth, picked up his bowl and put it in the wooden basin where the dirty bowls were placed. Then, he rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to take the meal prepared by Li Hehua, and brought it to the guests without saying a word.
Li Hehua was stunned for a moment. Seeing him coming to help again, he felt really embarrassed. It seemed that every time he came, he would be a free laborer. Is she going to hire someone else? But the right person is really not easy to find, and it will not be in a hurry for a while.
After finally waiting for the number of guests to gradually decrease, Li Hehua wiped the sweat on his head and breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Zhang Tieshan was also sweating on his head, he quickly brought him a bowl of mung bean soup, "Thank you for your hard work, really. I'm sorry, every time you come, help me, I will recruit another person here, don't be too busy next time."
Zhang Tieshan stopped drinking the soup, looked up at her, and said lightly, "No need to recruit people."
"Ah?" Li Hehua was puzzled.
Zhang Tieshan pursed his lips and said in a lower voice, "I'll help you in the future, you don't need to recruit people."
Li Hehua blinked, waved his hand quickly and said, "How can this work, no way, how can I ask you to help."
Zhang Tieshan said firmly: "I'm here to help you!" After seeing Li Hehua's refutation, he added: "Anyway, I'm also coming over to sell prey and read the book forest, so I'll be idle if I'm idle. If you feel bad about it, You can provide me with breakfast and lunch as wages."
Li Hehua still feels inappropriate, what kind of wages are breakfast and lunch? More importantly, they had nothing to do with him, and it was too inappropriate for him to be her helper.
"Zhang Tieshan, you still..." Li Hehua was interrupted by Zhang Tieshan before he could finish speaking.
"Okay, that's the deal." Zhang Tieshan arrogantly made his final decision, and finished the mung bean soup in the bowl in one breath. Putting down the bowl, he stood up to clear the table, so that Li Hehua had no time to stop it.
Li Hehua bit his lower lip, puzzled, is Zhang Tieshan a bad guy? Do you like to be helpful? It's not like that, obviously he had a bad attitude towards her before...
Zhang Tieshan knew that Li Hehua must be puzzled by him, but he didn't know how to explain it.
The last time he heard that she was going to see a man, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He didn't want to stay for a moment, and went home in one breath.
For the inexplicable discomfort in his heart, he thought it was because her current body was her ex-wife. After all, the two were husband and wife, even if he knew that he was not the original person, but his body was, so he looked at her and looked at others. It was inevitable that something wasn't right in my heart.
But after all, they are no longer husband and wife, and it was her who took the initiative to divorce her. It was normal for her to remarry. And she is not the original Li Hehua, nor his original wife. Strictly speaking, they have nothing to do with each other, so it's just that she feels uncomfortable for a while.
It seems that he has been going too much these days, and he still has to go to the stall less in the future, it is not good to go too much, and if others misunderstand, it may delay her seeing the person.
So he didn't go to the stall for the past few days, and even Shulin couldn't bear to see it.
He thought that life was still the same as before, but he couldn't help but think of her meeting a man from time to time, and couldn't help but guess in his mind whether she would succeed in seeing each other, and if she succeeded, would she marry that man , and then cook all kinds of delicious food for the man every day, busy with the man at the food stall, and then give birth to a child for the man, it is better and gentler than Shulin...
I kept imagining these pictures in my mind, and the more I thought about it, the more depressed my heart became, and I couldn't help but resist these pictures.
He suddenly discovered that he really didn't want her to cook food for other men, not want her to be busy with other men at the food stall, and even less want her to give birth to other men and treat them like Shulin.
Zhang Tieshan has always been a clear-headed person, and he has never been a self-deceiving person. When the thoughts of rejection in his mind flooded his brain for several days, he began to examine himself, and then he understood his true intention: he was possessive towards her. , he thinks that she is only busy with him, and he thinks that she is only good to his children.
He wanted to marry her, not Li Hehua, but her, the real her.
Although he didn't know when such thoughts arose, but when he did, he did. He accepted it and faced it! He always does things quickly, accurately and ruthlessly! Never be sloppy, go for whatever you want.
So, he came today.
She may be too resistant to him now. After all, he divorced her. When she was still living in his house, he was not good to her, and his mother and brother were not good to her.
He thought about it carefully, trying to remember when she became another person, and found that she changed the day he divorced her from her book. It should be at that time that she was not the original Li Hehua, but only He didn't find out, and then their family's resentment and anger towards Li Hehua were all on her: his mother didn't bring her to eat, and he always misunderstood her; he also treated her very badly, and even let her live In the firewood, sleeping on the fire for so many days, even in the end, they pushed her away...
Now that I think about it, I really regret it, he was really bad to her.
She must have disliked him.
But it doesn't matter, he can treat her with all his heart, treat her more in the future, and use all his heart to treat her well. He believes that he will be able to have her again.
He wants her to be his wife, not any other man's wife!
Zhang Tieshan moved all the tables, chairs and benches to the cart. He did everything without asking Li Hehua to do it. Then he pushed the cart back to the small courtyard and unloaded the unloaded things.
Li Hehua really didn't show any strength.
When the matter was done, Zhang Tieshan handed the prey he brought to Li Hehua, "Here, it was shot yesterday. I have already cleaned up the skin for you, and cleaned the internal organs for you. You can just burn it."
Li Hehua looked at the prey in front of him and refused. She has made him do so much work, and now she wants to take his things? How embarrassed she is. These prey are worth a lot of money to sell to restaurants.
"Sell it in a restaurant, it's a waste for us to eat, and we don't lack meat and fish. I cook meat dishes every day, and Shulin has grown meat now."
But Zhang Tieshan didn't listen to Li Hehua's words, and handed the prey forward again, "Take it! This is for Shulin and you to make up your body. I beat a lot of them and sold them in a restaurant. The remaining two are relatively small. Yes, it doesn't cost much, it's just right for you to eat, I won't sell it if you don't eat it."
Li Hehua frowned, still not accepting it, "Then take it back for your mother and brother to eat."
Zhang Tieshan said: "There are some at home, this is for you, don't say no."
Seeing that Li Hehua still didn't want to take it, Zhang Tieshan simply took the prey into the kitchen and put it in the kitchen.
Li Hehua: "..." Is there anything like this
Forget it, he must have been reluctant to bear his son's suffering, and wanted to make up for Shulin's body, but she just dipped it in by the way.
Thinking like this, Li Hehua didn't say anything about Zhang Tieshan's behavior. She only let Zhang Tieshan cook for a while, and she went into the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for tomorrow. When Shulin was about to leave school, she called Zhang Tieshan to go to the school together.
"Zhang Tieshan, let me tell you, Shulin can write a lot of characters now. He was still writing simple words such as one, two, three a few days ago, but now he can write a lot of other characters. He has made rapid progress. Master Gu said that Shulin has a natural memory. Qijia, just look at it once, you can engrave it in your mind, and then trace it down exactly, just like the last time when he painted, he just took a look, and he can draw indistinguishable from ten to ten." Li
He Hua couldn't help showing off Shulin's intelligence to Zhang Tieshan.
The corners of Zhang Tieshan's mouth curled up, listening very seriously.
Seeing that Zhang Tieshan listened with relish, Li Hehua continued: "Shu Lin is actually a prodigy, no other children in the school can compare to him, but his favorite is painting, a painting can be drawn for a long time without moving, and Master Gu Storyteller's painting is getting better and better now, and the lines are getting smoother and smoother, and he will become a master in time."
This is really what Master Gu said. Li Hehua was very happy when she heard it. She felt proud and proud for so many years. Only then did she realize why there are so many parents who can say what their children say The last day was not too tiring, because she is like this now.
Li Hehua was talking about Shulin all the way. Zhang Tieshan didn't interrupt a word, but he listened very seriously. The two of them talked and the other listened, and when they arrived outside the school, Li Hehua was shocked to realize that the other party didn't say a word. Can you still talk all the way without stopping, does she have such a chatter
Li Hehua looked at Zhang Tieshan embarrassedly, and found that he had a thin smile on his mouth, scratched his head and turned towards the door of the school, waiting for Shulin to come out.
Zhang Tieshan caught a glimpse of her small movements out of the corner of his eyes, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth became larger and larger.
