Chapter 231 Big Bun
"Save this for the New Year. There are still two days left. Just smell it." Li also liked it very much.
I would be reluctant to give this thing to relatives when visiting them. I can't use it to eat it myself on New Year's Day. It would be a waste, and it would be better to keep it for myself than to give it to others.
That’s right, Li had no intention of giving the food to others. Of course, the good things should be kept for her family.
The Gu family is very lively.
Gu Yao from northern Beijing was also busy preparing things for the New Year at home.
I steamed several pots of white flour buns in a row.
"Wife, that's enough. There are only two of us in our family, so there is no need to steam so many." Xiao Zai Ye watched his wife make three pots of steamed buns and wanted to steam some more.
"You have a comrade here, this steamed bun is a good gift for the New Year. It is made of pure white flour." Even in northern Beijing, there are still many people who can't get enough food, and white flour steamed buns are considered the best food.
"Well, finish with the noodles in this bowl and don't do anything else," Xiao Zai Ye said to Gu Yao.
With so much dough, all the air in it needs to be fully expelled. Gu Yao handed all this work to Xiao Zaiye. He has been kneading the dough at home for the whole morning and really doesn't want to knead it anymore.
Soldiers are very strong, but sitting in the kitchen and exerting themselves really makes you feel tired.
It’s much more tiring than cooking normally.
"Well, you watch the fire under the pot, and I'll do the last pot." Gu Yao looked at Xiao Zai Ye who had been kneading dough for the whole morning and was indeed tired, so she took the initiative to say this.
"Wife, you are so nice. I finally don't have to do it anymore." When Xiao Zai Ye heard his wife's words, he felt like he had been pardoned.
At noon, the steamed buns were packed in clean white cloth bags.
Ten in a bag.
Ten from the Yang family, ten from Old Qin, and I didn’t prepare any to send off the rest.
The principal is very good to me. Without him, I would not be able to enter the school smoothly.
Ten more were prepared and given to Xiao Zaiye to give to his comrades here.
I've heard Xiao Zaiye talk about it before, but I haven't seen it myself.
Gu Yao has been busy in the hospital, and now it's the New Year, so she has a day off.
Yang Qi has to be on duty during the New Year. Recently, everyone is researching drugs for tuberculosis, so he is busier than usual.
After Gu Yao sorted the things out, she said, "You go and deliver them to your comrades this afternoon. I'm going to school in the afternoon, so we'll go separately. Tomorrow we'll go to Mr. Qin's place, and then go to the Yang family."
"Okay, you ride the bike and I'll take the bus," said Xiao Zaiye.
"It's okay, you can ride your bike. The principal lives in the staff quarters behind the school. I'll go there directly where the bus goes," said Gu Yao.
"Well, okay, that's fine," Xiao Zaiye said, and took out a steamed bun from the steamed bun basket and started eating it.
"This steamed bun is really delicious. She really deserves to be my wife. She makes it deliciously," Xiao Zaiye praised.
"You are praising me nonsense. You are the one who kneaded these buns. Are you praising me against your will?" Gu Yao thought it was funny. This person's words were becoming sweeter and sweeter.
"What's wrong with praising my wife? My wife is just good. Which wife would be willing to give away the flour to others? No one is as generous and good as my wife," Xiao Zai Ye said with a smile.
Gu Yao felt her face turn a little red, and she slapped the man with her flour-covered hand, “Stop talking nonsense, look at the fire under the pot.”
Xiao didn't hide from the savage and got noodles all over himself.
"Look at you, why don't you get out of the way? These clothes will be changed later. I will find time to wash them for you. You won't be able to wash clothes after the New Year," Gu Yao muttered.
Xiao Zaiye enjoyed these ordinary days and every minute with his wife.
In the afternoon, Xiao Zaiye went to Liu Gui's place. He filled two large cloth bags with the things he brought with him.
There are snacks inside, which are New Year gifts prepared by Dazhuang and Erhua in the space for the New Year.
All four gifts are identical.
Gu Yao also took the bus to the principal's house.
After Gu Yao took the bus to the staff quarters, she asked and someone told her the address.
During the Chinese New Year, some students gave gifts to the principal and teachers.
Many teachers in other schools have lost their jobs now, also because of the ten-year movement.
"Old Chen, who is knocking on the door? Go and take a look," said the principal's wife who was making dumplings.
"It's almost New Year's Day, and you're not at home making dumplings. Who would come to visit you?" the principal said as he walked outside the internet.
When he opened the door and saw the person, he was stunned, "Oh, it's you, Gu Yao." The principal recognized Gu Yao at a glance, because Gu Yao had left a deep impression in his mind. It was not long ago that she passed the grade skipping test, and she left a deep impression in his mind.
Gu Yao had a decent smile on her face and said, "Principal Chen, it's me. It's New Year's Day soon, and I thought of coming to see you in advance. I hope I didn't disturb you."
"No, no, classmate Gu Yao, please come in and sit down." The principal greeted Gu Yao and shouted to his wife in the kitchen, "Old Wu, come out. This is the amazing Gu Yao I told you about. Her ability is better than many students who have already graduated," Principal Chen said without hesitation in praising her.
The principal's wife, Wu Bingfang, came out from the kitchen and said, "Student Gu Yao, hurry up." Wu Bingfang immediately started to prepare to pour water.
Gu Yao handed the thing to Wu Bingfang and said, "Auntie, no need. It's New Year's Day now. I just came to see you. Thank you very much for the help of the principal during this period. I have also learned a lot in school. It's just a small token of my appreciation. It's nothing special."
These white flour steamed buns are good things no matter which family they come from. When Wu Bingfang saw so many white flour steamed buns in the box, he was shocked and said, "Child, you have taken too many things. These white flour steamed buns are precious. What is in this box? They are too valuable. Take it back."
Wu Bingfang felt that the child came from another place and did not go home for the New Year, which was not easy for him, so he thought of asking someone to take the things back.
"I just steamed this this morning. You can't take it back. This is to give the principal and aunt something to celebrate the New Year. There are snacks in this box. I have more at home. You have to accept this. This is my lover's comrade-in-arms. He sent a lot of it from other places. You can take it and eat it." Gu Yao didn't want to take the things back after she had brought them.
All I can say is that there are too many people at home, so my husband has to take the blame. They don’t have much in common anyway.
"Okay, kid, take it." Principal Chen looked at the child. He took the thing but had no intention of taking it back.
"Hey, kid, come stay and eat dumplings. You see, your aunt and the principal have made quite a few together." Wu Bingfang saw that the child was a good one and wanted him to stay and eat with them.
