    Xinhu looked at Dalang as if asking for help. She didn't know how to refuse Mrs. Xie's kindness.  First of all, she didn't really want to recognize an old lady as her godmother, because she was afraid that she would get an elder to control her. She was a little afraid of an old lady from aristocratic family like Old Madam Xie.  Secondly, she doesn't like to make it so formal. In her mind, teaching people how to cook is nothing.

    Receiving Ahu¡¯s gaze, Dalang thought for a moment and said, ¡°I say, it¡¯s better that Ahu and Miss Xie recognize themselves as sisters.¡±

    Dalang¡¯s proposal was approved by everyone. It is much more casual for two girls to become god-sisters than for Mrs. Xie to accept Xin Hu as her goddaughter or god-granddaughter.  In the long run, it won't matter if the two girls don't get along in the future. After all, they will get married and have their own new families. They may even rarely see their husbands again because they live far away.  .  What happened between the two of them in the past has nothing to do with their future.  If the two of them have been on good terms, they will only be regarded as acquaintances, and their small friendship will not be related to the family.

    "Haha. I will have a sister in the future. Ah Hu, come and call me sister. If anything happens in the future, sister will help you." Xie Shuer said boldly, imitating the tone of children in the world.

    Xin Hu didn¡¯t hesitate and called out calmly: ¡°Sister.¡±

    Mrs. Xie looked at her daughter, both amused and angry, and said, "Ah Hu, since you and Shu'er have become god-sisters, as an elder, I must give you a greeting gift." As she said that, she took off her wrist.  There was a pair of simple and heavy silver bracelets on the top, and he added: "I have worn these bracelets for many years. They are not a good item, but they are something I like very much."

    Xinhu looked at Dalang again, and Dalang nodded slightly. Then she looked happy and said, "Thank you, madam."

    Seeing her mother-in-law take out something, Sister-in-law Xie immediately took out a silver comb from her head and said, "This little gadget of mine is inconspicuous and can be used to comb hair. Ah Hu, hurry up and accept it. This is my apprenticeship gift."

    When she said this, Xin Hu felt embarrassed and refused to accept it.

    However, when she looked at the silver comb given by Sister-in-law Xie and held it in her hand, she realized that it was quite heavy and the workmanship was very delicate. There was also a plum blossom pattern carved on it. It was actually a very good and practical thing.

    Xie Shuer reached out and touched her head, ears, and wrists randomly, only to realize that she didn't bring anything decent with her. She quickly said embarrassedly: "I'll go back and get it."

    Xin Hu quickly grabbed her and said, "I don't have anything to give to you. Don't take it either."

    "That's not possible, you are the little one. Of course you are the recipient of the gift. Besides, I'm pointing you to teach me how to cook." Xie Shu'er said, breaking free from her hand, getting up and leaving.

    Afraid that she would bring some jewelry again, Xin Hu quickly said, "Why don't you give me two headbands or two handkerchiefs."

    "That's right. Ah Hu just wanted to have beautiful headbands and handkerchiefs. We don't have these things at home." Dalang quickly added a few words.

    Sure enough, Xie Shuer came back very quickly and actually brought a few headbands and a few new, unused handkerchiefs.  It was just that the handkerchief was bare and had nothing embroidered on it. In addition, it also held an old small wooden box with several beautiful head flowers in it.  They are all used by little girls. They are not expensive but very beautiful.

    Naturally, the Xie family would not wear expensive jewelry when they went out, but it was impossible not to wear it at all, so the whole family wore a small amount of simple silver products, gold, jade, and those precious items with complicated styles, and packed them away.  .  Xinhu was originally embarrassed to accept so many gifts, but he couldn't stand everyone's persuasion and finally accepted them all.  It has to be said that she gained a lot today, but now she can't use these items except for headbands and handkerchiefs.

    Naturally, Aunt Liu and Aunt Zhang were also joining in the fun and making jokes.  Everyone in the room was happy and lively.

    At night, everyone dispersed, and a few of the younger ones fell asleep.  Xinhu and Dalang were still cleaning up the kitchen, washing dishes and chopsticks.

    "I got so many gifts today. What should I give in return?" Xin Hu asked awkwardly.  To her, teaching Auntie Xie these five simple dishes was nothing at all, but having to accept gifts was too serious a matter.

    "It's nothing. Anyway, they want to learn cooking from you, so you should teach them carefully and let them both learn a few good dishes." Dalang said disapprovingly.  These items, except for the pair of silver bracelets, which were more valuable, the other items together did not exceed twenty taels of silver, which was really nothing in his eyes.  Besides, Xinhu really didn't take advantage of this.

    ¡°We don¡¯t have all the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. We only have cabbage and radish. How can we teach them anything and how can we do it?¡±different.  The most important thing is that in the army at that time, we often had to train and fight from time to time. It was not possible to farm seriously like farmers.  They have never grown staple foods such as wheat and rice.

    The crops they planted at that time were just rough species that were easy to survive and did not require much human care.  For example, he remembers growing a huge patch of pumpkins every year.  Although pumpkin is a rough thing, it can be eaten even with leaves and vines, and when it bears fruit, it is a large, round knot, and the big one weighs several kilograms.  Then there are winter melons, soybeans, etc.  They are all things that supplement food shortages.  If you want to use it directly as food, that won't work.

    At that time, everyone ate pumpkin porridge every meal.  The food in the army was poor and there was often not enough food to eat. A large amount of pumpkins gave them a lot of nutrients at that time.  During that time everyone had enough to eat.  Moreover, the endless fresh pumpkins will be dried by everyone and saved for consumption in winter when food is scarce and vegetables cannot be grown.

    When Dalang thought about it, he tossed and turned again and couldn't sleep.  He was really afraid that nothing would come from his crops tomorrow.

    Dalang moved around, occasionally letting out a few secret sighs.  Although there was not much movement, Jiang Dashan couldn't sleep tonight. His hearing was already sensitive, and in the dead of night, he couldn't help but wonder why Dalang was worried.  Although this child is young, he has always been mature and organized. He can be so worried that he can't sleep, which is really worrying.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
