77. Chapter 77: The Ghost Weather That Is So Hot That People Can't Sleep

Ancient women follow the three obediences and four virtues, follow their husbands after marriage, and take their husbands as heaven. If they are divorced, it means that the woman's character is not upright, and she will be poked in the spine by others for a lifetime.

But Jiang Xiaoxiao thinks that for someone like Zhao Dasao, she should not be afraid of bearing such consequences. What she fears most should be that once she is divorced, she and her children will be separated forever.

Chunmiao and Chunya sisters are living the same bitter life as she did before in the Zhao family. If even the mother who loves them most leaves, according to Zhao Wulai's temperament, the two sisters will either be sold or beaten to death alive.

Therefore, for Zhao Dasao, she has no courage to leave Zhao Wulai, let alone the foundation to leave.

Several people finished the work in sighs.

The amount of more than a thousand ice cream and snow cakes is still very large. Even with Qiulian Niang's help, they didn't finish until the Zi hour.

When Qiulian Niang left, her eyes were too sleepy to open, and she didn't look carefully at what Jiang Wei stuffed into the basket in the crook of her arm.

It wasn't until she returned home and was illuminated by the cold moonlight in the courtyard that she saw clearly that besides the twenty wen, there was a large bowl of creamy and fragrant ice cream, and five snow cakes frozen hard.

Qiulian Niang was startled, her whole person instantly woke up a lot. She subconsciously turned around and wanted to go back, but looking at the moon hanging high in the sky, she could only shake her head helplessly.

She hurriedly entered the house and woke up Zhao Youcai, who had just fallen asleep not long ago, "You hurry and call Mother, there is something good to eat."

"What good thing?"

The weather is hot, so hot that people can't sleep at night. Zhao Youcai worked for a day, even if he was very tired and sleepy, he brewed for a long time before he barely fell asleep. Now that he suddenly heard Qiulian Niang say there was something good, he hurriedly raised his eyes and looked at her basket.

Looking at this, the sleepiness in his mind instantly disappeared: "This, isn't this the snow cake that sells so hot in town!"

Qiulian Niang nodded: "Xiaoxiao's mother gave it. You go and see if Mother is asleep. This thing should be eaten while it's cool. I'm afraid it will melt if I leave it until tomorrow morning."

"Alright." Zhao Youcai turned over and got out of bed, put on his clothes roughly, and went to call someone.

"Mother, what good thing is there?" Zhao Tiezhu, who was on the other side, was also hot and couldn't sleep, so he hurriedly turned over and got up, looking straight into the basket.

Qiulian Niang glared at him and said: "Don't be anxious, wait until your grandma comes before eating together. Go and wake up your brother first and ask him if he wants to eat."

"Mother, I want to eat!" The eight-year-old second son also climbed up.

"It's so late, why are you all not asleep?" Qiulian Niang looked at the two brothers with amusement.

"Mother, this ghost weather is so hot, who can sleep." Zhao Tiezhu complained.

"It's okay, you will be cool after eating the snow cakes your Jiang Auntie gave."

While speaking, Zhao Old Madam also entered the room, "What good thing? You have to call me up in the middle of the night. Do you know this ghost weather is so hot..."

The voice of her speaking stopped abruptly. Her gaze stared straight at Qiulian Niang's basket, and then she made a surprised cry: "My heaven! Isn't this the snow cake that sells for five wen each! Qiulian, how did you get so many!?"

Qiulian Niang hummed lightly, somewhat proudly: "This was all given by Xiaoxiao's mother."

She took out all five snow cakes, just enough for one person, and said: "You hurry and eat. This thing is very cool to eat, and you can sleep well later."

Zhao Old Madam held the snow cake like a treasure. The icy coldness was transmitted through her wrinkled skin, which was simply cool!

She couldn't bear to eat it, her turbid old eyes stared at the snow cake, and suddenly said: "This novel thing is five wen each, five is twenty-five wen... No, that woman shouldn't use this thing to replace your wages, right?!"

"What are you saying, Mother." Zhao Youcai bit the icy snow cake, his whole person was cool, "This snow cake is only sold in town. Usually, so many people queue up to buy it, and you can't buy it if you want to."

Qiulian Niang glanced at the penny-pinching Zhao Old Madam, waved her hand and slapped the twenty wen on the case table, saying: "Xiaoxiao's mother is not the kind of person you think. She didn't deduct a single penny of my wages, and these snow cakes were all given to me for free!"

Zhao Old Madam aimed at the twenty wen on the case table, and then closed her mouth sheepishly, and a flattering smile appeared on her face: "That, that Qiulian, you must help Xiaoxiao's mother work well in the future, you must have a good relationship with her, and don't let anyone grab your job."

Twenty wen of wages every day, and you can get such precious snow cakes for free. This great benefit must absolutely not be grabbed by others!

"Mother, what is this milky-scented thing, it smells so good..." The little son ate the snow cake in his mouth, not forgetting to pull the remaining ice cream in the basket.

"This is ice cream. Xiaoxiao's mother said that she only sells this thing to restaurants." Qiulian Niang explained, and then told Tiezhu to go to the kitchen to get the only spoon in the house, and each of them dug a big spoonful to eat.

"Mother, this ice cream is delicious, it's even more delicious than snow cakes!" The little son only ate two mouthfuls and was immediately conquered by this silky and dense taste and rich milky fragrance.

It's simply too delicious, I really want to eat it every day...

Zhao Youcai shook his head and said: "Why do I think snow cakes are better? This ice cream is too sweet, you children just love to eat sweet things."

"It's clearly this ice-what-what that is delicious!" Zhao Old Madam immediately widened her eyes and retorted to her son's words. Although she couldn't even call the name of the ice cream smoothly, it didn't hinder her love for this kind of novel food, "How about this, you give me your ice cream to eat, and I will give you my snow cake."

"This won't do, Mother." Zhao Youcai immediately protected his snow cake.

Qiulian Niang looked at the happy and harmonious appearance of her family, and felt happy and lucky in her heart.

She was lucky that no one in the family asked her how she made the snow cakes when she went to Jiang Wei's house. Whether it was her own husband or her mother-in-law, who was always penny-pinching, no one asked the snow cake formula that people relied on for survival.

The whole family finished the snow cakes and ice cream, and slept the most comfortable and cool sleep in these months.

……

The next day.

Jiang family.

They boiled very late yesterday, and the mother and daughter got up a little late today.

By the time they packed up and prepared to go to town to deliver goods, it was already the end of the Chen hour.

Opening the courtyard gate, Chunmiao and Chunya sisters were standing outside waiting.

I don't know how long they had been standing there, and it seemed they didn't sleep well last night, their complexions were a bit haggard, and their dark circles were very heavy.

"Chunya sister, why did you come too?" Jiang Xiaoxiao hurriedly stepped forward to open the courtyard gate and let the two in. Wasn't it only Chunmiao who was asked to help work yesterday?

Chunmiao hurriedly said: "Xiaoxiao sister, that... my sister doesn't want wages, doesn't want anything, she just came to help, you, you don't drive her away..." (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 78 =====
