Gu Xia smiled and took it and ate it directly. The dough and bean filling were already sweet enough, so she didn't need to dip it in sugar. It was fragrant and delicious when she held it in her hands.

Li Xiaodie was eating bean bread and suddenly sighed, "My parents died early. I grew up eating Baijia rice. At that time, I could only eat two sweet potatoes a day. I was so hungry that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. I'm going to tell you, I even stole other people's chicken feed."

Gu Xia felt very moved in his heart that people at that time were really hard.

Li Xiaodie touched his son's face: "When my son grows up, you must not let him starve."

"Of course." Gu Xia said quickly: "Don't worry, life will get better and better."

Li Xiaodie also felt that she worked harder today and her children would be able to eat better in the future.

After the two of them finished eating the bean buns, they continued to work. The pot they used was very large. One layer could steam forty or fifty bean buns, and two or three layers at a time. Such a pot would be very heavy with water.

Li Xiaodie doesn't dare to work hard now, so Gu Xia is responsible for serving the blame.

Gu Xia did all the dirty and tiring work when serving the pot, adding coal blocks, kneading dough, and doing all the dirty and tiring work. Li Xiaodie was making bean bags on the side and watching the child by the way.

After steaming, the buns are placed on the panel and cool, and are ready to sell them.

At first, Gu Xia was wearing a cotton jacket. After steaming for two pots, her head was covered in sweat. Gu Xia wanted to take off her cotton jacket, but was stopped by Li Xiaodie.

"Don't rush to take off your clothes, if you catch a cold, it will be bad. If you go to the outer room, it will be no longer hot. I'll pack the remaining bean bags."

Gu Xia agreed and walked outside. He didn't want to be idle, so he sat by the stove to chop firewood. At this time, there was movement in the yard, so Gu Xia quickly stood up.

Sun Tao came back, and a young man wearing a police station uniform followed behind him.

He is quite energetic and tall.

Li Xiaodie quickly opened the door and said with a smile: "Are you back? Your wife is inside."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, this is my classmate Ma Bin. This is what I said about Gu Xia, a special hardworking little girl!"

Ma Bin came in and reached out to shake hands with Gu Xia.

But Gu Xia smiled and waved his hand: "My hands are too dirty, I just chopped firewood."

Ma Bin smiled and took his hand back: "I heard you have been helping them for a month. You are such a great person."

"It's nothing, I have no place to live, and they're taking me in! You guys hurry up and go in. There are freshly steamed bean buns, which are delicious. I'm making some soup for you."

"We've eaten, don't be busy."

Gu Xia remembered that she had bought a few apples before, so she took them out and washed them and handed them over.

She is a girl who is not very social. When she gets along with unfamiliar people, she only smiles foolishly, and feels uncomfortable after saying a few words.

Ma Bin knew she was a little embarrassed and left.

Li Xiaodie in the room smiled and said, "You are here, see how our buns are? Can they be sold well?"

"I think it's good. Take the time to do it. In a few days, there will be Chinese New Year and no one will buy it."

"Well, we'll go later." Sun Tao said; "You go with me."

Li Xiaodie hurriedly said, "What a joke? The Chinese New Year is the busiest time. How can I have time! You work hard, and I will buy you some bottles of good wine during the Chinese New Year!"

When Sun Tao heard this, he was very excited. He usually liked to take a sip, but because their money was cheated by his mother, and the child was about to be born, he had not drunk alcohol for several months.

Now that his wife buys him wine, he is always excited.

Ma Bin stayed here and ate an apple, and then left for a while. Before leaving, he went over and said goodbye to Gu Xia.

Before leaving, he looked at Gu Xia, but Gu Xia didn't pay attention.

When the person left, Li Xiaodie said, "Ma Bin came over to remind us. Recently, many thieves have come out, so let's be careful when selling goods."

Thieves in the past are all counting on making money during the Chinese New Year. At this time, every household will spend money, plus bonuses, and basically use large tickets to buy New Year’s goods.

All the thieves came out to celebrate the New Year, so they had to be careful not to lose their money.

Gu Xia said, "Let's hide the large tickets worth more than five yuan, and prepare more change to keep them open."

Li Xiaodie nodded: "Okay, there are a lot of steel pounds at home, so I'll find it now. Even if this thing is lost, it's not worth much money, and the thief probably won't look down on it."

At this time, the kitchen smelled and the next pot of bean bread was cooked. The pot could be taken out and sold together.

"I'll change my clothes and go to the market." Sun Tao stood up and wanted to get a cotton jacket. Who would have thought that after walking a few steps, he suddenly covered his knees and shouted loudly.

"My legs!"

"What's wrong, did you crash?"

Sun Tao fell to his eyes, his forehead was covered with sweat and he couldn't speak. Li Xiaodie hurried over and pulled his pants up. He saw a large area of ​​purple on his right knee, which looked very serious.

Li Xiaodie was frightened: "What's going on?"

"Oh, I fell in the morning, but I didn't expect it to be so serious!" Sun Tao was so painful that he couldn't stand up. He couldn't go out to sell goods at all.

Li Xiaodie was also anxious and couldn't help but put these bean bags here. She put on a cotton jacket: "I'll go. Look at the child."

"You can't go." Gu Xia said quickly: "You have just finished confinement and are very weak and are so cold outside. Besides, you still have to take care of your children."

Li Xiaodie said, "What's the matter? My neighbor went to work after three days of giving birth. I'll go to sell something to do!"

Gu Xia said, "I'll go by myself. Tell me where I'll sell it myself."

Li Xiaodie firmly disagreed. She had never sold the goods. Besides, how could she count on Gu Xia for everything? She is not a nanny, and even a nanny is too much.

Gu Xia smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine for selling goods myself. It's only a few days before I can't do it. I'll come back. It's dark when I go down in the moji."

Li Xiaodie said: "I'm really sorry, I want to trouble you again. I don't know what to say."

"I'm fine. I'll set it off."

The couple packed the bean bags together and put them in the bag, transported them to the bicycle outside.

It was snowing again in the sky. There was too much snow here in winter, almost never breaking. There were snowflakes on both sides of the road that were too late to clean. The snow under your feet became hard and the surface was very smooth.

Sun Tao helped get the bicycle while walking. He limped in pain. He only walked a few steps and his forehead was full of sweat. Gu Xia said, "You go back and rest quickly, I'm going."

"How do you push the cart yourself? It's so heavy."

"It's okay, I'll take it slowly." Gu Xia said and pushed the car forward.
