Chapter 97
Moreover, the house was cleaned up, and it must have taken a lot of time.
Gu Xia felt very strange. Could it be that Li Xiaodie's mother-in-law was back?
She quickly went to Li Xiaodie's room and found that the kang was empty! The child slept very well on the kang, and she was gone. Where is the person? Did he go to the toilet?
Just as he was thinking, the door opened and Li Xiaodie came in. He was holding two green onions and a bag of cabbage in his hand. He was taken from the shed outside, and it was already very cold.
Li Xiaodie put the dishes on the ground, looked up and saw Gu Xia, and said with a smile, "Are you awake? I've finished cooking."
"Why are you getting up? You're out in such a cold weather. What if you get sick? Go back and lie down quickly." Gu Xia was a little anxious.
"Don't worry, I've finished my confinement period, I'm finally free haha." She was so relaxed.
Gu Xia was stunned. It wasn’t right to calculate the date. It’s still two days before the confinement period was completed?
Li Xiaodie smiled and said, "You have been sleeping for two days. During these two days, I finished it, took a shower, and went out for a walk. You don't know that you've been asleep all the time!"
Gu Xia's head buzzed, what? I've slept for two days?!
Hurry up and take a look at the month sign on the wall, it’s not! Two days have passed after I fell asleep.
Li Xiaodie told Gu Xia that she had been lying there and not waking up, but she was frightened by Li Xiaodie and even tried to see if Gu Xia was breathing. She found that she was breathing normally, but she was too tired, so she didn't tell her.
Li Xiaodie was about to finish her confinement period. Besides, her health was not a piece of paper, and she couldn't do anything. So she went to the field to make some food by herself. When her husband came over, the two of them would deal with it together to make food.
"Isn't it the New Year? There are fewer people buying buns. My family only steams buns, which saves a lot of trouble at once. I want to do something else. Anyway, now that my confinement period is over, you can relax."
"Sorry, I fell asleep all of a sudden." Gu Xia said quickly, "Let me teach me the heavy work. Just look at the child."
Li Xiaodie discussed with Gu Xia that it would not be the New Year anymore, and they wanted to make some sticky bean bags to sell.
"It's very delicious when steamed in a pot and then dipped in sugar. The people here love to eat this during the Chinese New Year. Let's make some and sell it at the market. I'll see the children at home, so I'll ask you."
Gu Xia agreed: "Okay, I'll do it for you."
At this time, it is not possible for anyone to sell goods in the market. You must have a place. If you go there casually and sell goods there, you will be driven away.
A friend of Sun Tao helped. The man had a stall in the market all year round and was best at trading. He gave Sun Tao a stall of about one meter and asked him to set up a stall here.
Gu Xia no longer participated in these things about collecting money and selling goods, and did not want to go out to sell goods with Sun Tai.
After all, it is not good for men and women to be together for a long time, so we should avoid suspicion. What Gu Xia does every year is to cook the beans here and put sugar in them and wrap them in them.
"Let's do it together, put the bean bags and put them outside to freeze. My Sun Tao, who has been frozen, goes out to sell it."
"That's OK." Gu Xia smiled and said, "It's still more than ten days before the New Year, so I can sell some money."
Li Xiaodie nodded: "Well, actually, I don't expect to make much money. I have to make back the money I lost during the confinement period."
The money for going to the hospital to have children was made less because the bun shop did not have her, and the money for giving the children milk powder was also paid. The money for buying a bunch of chicken, duck, fish and meat was too great.
Gu Xia said, "This is a necessary expense. I want to be more open-minded. Anyone who has a child needs this way."
"You are right, but when I think of my mother-in-law, my sister-in-law, doesn't care about anything. My sister-in-law spends money on her baby from hospital to her out, and I feel itchy!" She poured water from the hot pot and drank it, and said, "You don't know. My mother-in-law called from the village yesterday and asked me how it was during confinement. I said, "No one helped me at all. We lived a mess and owed a lot of money now. I waited for her to come back to help pay back the money. My mother-in-law said when she heard this, her two grandchildren are sick now, and there are so many people in the countryside that they can't survive and come back after fifteen."
Gu Xia burst into laughter as soon as he heard this: "Why are you lying to her?"
"I've finished confinement, why are she coming back? Do you think about asking me to serve her during the New Year? I don't welcome her, so she stays there and see the rural family, there are dozens of people. How can she make her New Year's Eve dinner? She can't exhaust her!" She said this and showed a gloating smile.
Besides, she wants to do some extra business to make money. What should she do when she comes back? Don’t you have to swallow all the money into her own pocket?
"In the past, our family opened this bun shop, and my mother-in-law was always on guard against me. She always told Sun Tao that he had a bad mind and could not let me cheat all the money. When she had money, she would save it all in her pocket. As a result, she was a Pixiu, and she only had to go in and out. She was waiting to buy flour and meat and never sucked a penny. She always made excuses to ask for money. Later, Sun Tao also found something was wrong, so she stopped giving her money. The old lady wanted to quietly fill all the remaining money for her eldest grandson. She was biased!"
When Li Xiaodie thought of those things, she became angry.
It was because she didn't give her mother-in-law money that her mother-in-law was furious, so she left when she was about to give birth. She probably wanted them to beg her to come back, so that she would have the final say in the future. Who would have thought that Li Xiaodie was also a tough guy, and would rather not be able to eat himself than give in, so that she became like this.
Gu Xia said, "We have a lot of similar personalities. I would rather go hungry than beg for mercy with my father."
The two have been together for a month, and Li Xiaodie also knows Gu Xia’s family affairs.
Hearing her say this, he immediately said, "Your dad is really not a good bird! He even doesn't look down on your mother and you, it's so disgusting! I don't think he needs to look down on you, and he will definitely develop well in the future, so that this bastard will regret it!"
Gu Xia smiled: "That's certain. I don't believe it. I can't develop well if I work so hard."
Next, Gu Xia’s goal is to make money, hoping that the bean buns will sell well. Li Xiaodie and Gu Xia agreed that if they sell a pound of bean buns, they will give Gu Xia a commission of one cent. If they sell more, they will naturally make more money.
After the two of them discussed it, they started making it directly. They had a super large pot of beans, which cooked a lot of beans. Then they put sugar in it, and the room was filled with sweet beans. The taste was so good.
Gu Xia didn't like bean bread in the past, but this tasted so good
