Chapter 031, make friends
"What are you eating for breakfast? Little sister."
Lin Xiangqian ran over happily. He was shouted by his younger sister to work early in the morning, and he was already so hungry.
When I was pressing the water just now, I smelled a scent that made people saliva fall off again, and he didn't even have the intention to work.
It happened that the little sister called him to have a meal. He threw the bucket and ran over quickly. The closer he got to the stove, the stronger the fragrance, and he couldn't help swallowing.
"Eat dumplings, sit down quickly and eat while they are hot."
Lin Zhiyu lifted the lid of the pot, and under the steaming white mist, white and fat crescent-shaped dumplings floated up. She took the dumplings into a large basin and placed them on the wooden table next to them.
Lin Xiangqian suspected that something was wrong with his eyes.
Who has eaten dumplings for breakfast or fine white noodles?
The summer grain is not ripe now, and every household has little surplus, and most villagers live on wild vegetables and sweet potatoes.
Because Lin's father earned more money as a carpenter, their family would have a little better life than ordinary villagers.
But I really had to spend some time. Breakfast is usually a bowl of sweet potato porridge, a corn flour pancake, and a small stack of pickles.
Only during the Chinese New Year did Lin’s mother willing to take out the fine white flour, mix it with half of the corn flour and knead it into dough to make dumplings.
I definitely didn't dare to use fine white flour because there were three of them at home, and they had a lot of appetite and barely enough food to eat.
My little sister is too confused about living. How much fine white flour should I use for so many dumplings?
"What's wrong, this dumpling looks like it's not appetite?"
Lin Zhiyu was a little puzzled when he saw that everyone didn't move their chopsticks. The dumplings she made should taste good.
"No, no." Lin Xiang's head shook forward like a rattle. The dumplings were thin and filled with large fillings, and they could clearly see the soup from the outer skin.
The fragrance of cabbage and pork came to his face. Not to mention eating, he just sat here. Just watching and smelling it, he swallowed the saliva countless times.
"The breakfast of our villagers is usually sweet potato porridge and wild vegetables and cornmeal cakes. It is considered good if you can eat enough.
This white flour and pork are precious foods, and they can only be eaten during festivals.
The dumplings you made look good, not to mention eating, but we don’t dare to eat them, and we are reluctant to eat them. Every bite is money.
My little sister, you have to live a long life. You can’t spend some money in one go. You have to save some money. That way, you can’t be safe when you need to spend money in an urgent matter."
Lin Xiangqian is straightforward and doesn't hide it from his younger sister, so he says whatever he wants.
These are all taught by Lin’s mother since she was a child. He thought it was quite right. Although he had a delicious bite, he would definitely not eat the younger sister’s because of this.
He really wanted his younger sister to live a good life.
"Yes, Yuyu, how can I spend so much money? I'll make some porridge and bake some corn flour pancakes. I'll put these dumplings away for you and your children to eat."
Lin’s mother is not someone who likes to get involved and be the leader of others. She feels sorry that Lin Zhiyu is not easy to take care of her children.
She knew that her daughter had to pay off the money she had cheated before, and she also knew that she had some income from selling crucian carp in the restaurant in the town.
But now we need to build a fish pond. Then, labor, materials, and food management, so why don’t you pay?
Moreover, bean bread is getting bigger and bigger every day, so there will definitely be more and more places to use money.
She just wants her daughter to live a stable life in her small family and raise her children in vain and fat, and she doesn't want her daughter to spend money on them.
She and her two sons are both adults, and they both have been through hard days, so they can’t eat breakfast.
Lin Zhiyu reached out and grabbed Lin's mother who was going to the stove to make corn cakes, and pressed her on a stool and sat down.
She thought it was dumplings that had no appetite, but they couldn't bear to eat them.
"You are the first time you come to my house for dinner, so it's time to have some good food.
Besides, if you eat this dumpling, you can warm your heart and stomach and keep hunger. Only after eating it well will your body become stronger. Not only will you be energetic when you work, but you can also take less illness and less medicine.
Taking medicine when you are sick not only costs a lot of money, but also suffers from your health. How can you work and make money when you are not healthy?
If you can't make money, your life will only become more and more difficult, and you will be reluctant to eat and drink, and your health will become worse. If you continue like this, the family will gradually lose.
So you just listen to me, eat openly, don’t save me. If you eat well and do a good job, you will earn the money back.”
Lin Zhiyu couldn't help but sigh. They were all afraid of being poor, but they were really for her own good.
They treat her well, so she naturally rewards her sincerely. Eating and drinking are really nothing.
I have to take them to make a lot of money in the future.
Lin Xiangqian:...
He found that the younger sister had really changed a lot. Not only was she very smart and thoughtful, but she even spoke so well now.
"Okay, I'll listen to my little sister."
How could they not listen? They must listen.
The whole family finally started to eat.
Lin Xiangqian picked up a dumpling and took a bite. The skin was slightly broken, and the mellow soup immediately flowed out. The pork was very tender, the cabbage was refreshing and fragrant, mixed with the soup and dough, the taste was really left with lips and teeth.
fragrant.
His eyes suddenly became lit up, "My little sister is really good at cooking. I have never eaten such delicious dumplings when I grow up. Mom, is my little sister really your biological child? But you and
No one of my dad has such ability.”
Lin's mother knocked her head with a chopstick on her backhand.
He said fiercely, "How come you can't even block your mouth when you eat? Of course your elder brother and your younger sister are my biological parents. You picked them up from under the bridge."
Lin Xiangqian smiled and didn't care much, "I picked it up, so you have to be gentle to me, otherwise you will be the vicious stepmother in the storybook."
Lin’s mother:…
She picked up the bowl to eat, and was unwilling to pay attention to him again. Sooner or later, she would be angry to death by this bastard.
Lin Zhiyu sighed silently and glanced at Lin Xiang forward. The second brother was inadvertently in the truth.
She is no longer the original owner, but so what? She will treat them as her closest family and treat them twice as well as the original owner's share.
"If you eat dumplings, you can't just garlic, but the fragrance is half less. This is dipping sauce, try it."
Lin Zhiyu brought out the sauce, garlic, sesame oil, aged vinegar, chili oil fried by himself, and tender green coriander powder, mixed together, and looked very appetizing just by looking like this.
"Little sister, you are so good at eating." Lin Xiangqian picked up the dumplings and dipped them in a bowl, put them in his mouth, and the sour and spicy taste suddenly spread to his taste buds.
They ate dumplings during the Chinese New Year, and dipped them in a little vinegar. How could they have made so many tricks?
Lin Xiangqian ate two large bowls of dumplings full of dumplings, wishing he had a stomachache so that he could eat more.
After eating the dumplings, Lin Guoqing and Lin Xiangqian drank another bowl of dumpling soup, and after a while, they continued to work.
Lin’s mother brought Xiaodoubao to play in the yard.
Lin Zhiyu cleaned the bowl and put it in place. He saved the lunch for several people. He took an enamel pot and filled it with dumplings full of enamel pots, and covered it with a lid.
Seeing that everyone was focusing on their own affairs, Lin Zhiyu slipped to the west room, took three large and lively crucian carp from the space, put them in a basin, and placed them in a backpack with an enamel jar.
"Mom, I'll go to Uncle Li's house to see if there are enough people." Lin Zhiyu said to Lin's mother before leaving.
"Okay, go."
...
The door of Li Guangming's house was open, and there were many people surrounded by the west room, most of which were young and strong men.
On the edge was a woman who was so thin that she was deficient. She was holding a two-year-old boy in her arms. Her little face was sallow, like an eggplant made from frost, leaning against the woman's arms wilted.
Lin Zhiyu frowned, and it happened that Li Baozhu came out of the main house to pour water.
"Yuyu, why don't you call me when you come? Come into the house." Li Baozhu put the basin on the ground casually, and ignored it. He enthusiastically took Lin Zhiyu's arm and pulled her into the main house.
.
"Didn't I say yesterday that I'll give my aunt a few crucian carp? When I was packing the fry in the morning, there were three adult fish, so I brought it to me."
Lin Zhiyu followed her into the house, lowered her back basket, and lifted the cotton cloth covered on it.
"Wow, is this the crucian carp you raise?" Li Baozhu stood in front of the basket, staring at the crucian carp in the basin, full of surprise, "Yuyu, you are too awesome."
The crucian carp soup that Yu Yu brought yesterday may have been stewed for a long time, and some of the fish bones were melted into the soup, but she did not see the complete crucian carp.
I could only pester my father to describe it to her, saying that it weighed about three pounds, and my hands were as long as they stood up, and the most important thing was that there was no fishy smell.
How could crucian carp have no fishy smell?
Li Baozhu felt very novel and hoped that one day she would find an opportunity to see it with her own eyes. Unexpectedly, this day came so quickly, Yu Yu sent the crucian carp early in the morning.
As if it was as my father described, it was big and fresh, and it was fine. I couldn't smell the fishy smell at all when I saw him so close. The first time I saw him, I loved him tightly.
"Oh, Yuyu, this is not possible. How can I get the crucian carp you have worked hard to raise? " Aunt Li came out of the inner room and heard that Lin Zhiyu specially sent her crucian carp.
I was immediately flattered.
She thought Lin Zhiyu said yesterday that she would give her a few crucian carp, but she just said it casually. After all, it was not a cheap thing, so she could give it as soon as possible, so she didn't take it to heart.
But speaking of this, this crucian carp is indeed a good thing.
Her Baozhu is in poor health and has many problems. Not to mention anything else, even sleeping every night is a problem. Most of the time, I can't sleep at night. Sometimes it's three o'clock at night, and I still stare with my eyes open.
The roof is dazed.
It’s not that I’m not sleepy, I can’t sleep no matter how hard it is.
Baozhu's aunt and uncle worked in the town police station. In order to cure her problem, she sought medical treatment everywhere, and even asked her for contacts to take her to the hospital in the provincial capital to see an expert.
After more than half a year of treatment, the problem of not being able to sleep at night was not cured, but instead caused a headache.
When it doesn't hurt, it's like it's okay, but when it hurts, it's really life-threatening. I roll around with my head in my arms. After the pain, it's covered in sweat, and it seems like I've been fished out of the water.
This is not the end. Baozhu said that after the pain, there seemed to be a ball of paste in her head, and it would take several days to get better.
She saw Baozhu feel so uncomfortable and felt so distressed that she wished she could suffer these sins for her.
What’s amazing is that after drinking the crucian carp soup last time, she has never had any headaches. Yesterday, she said she was a little sleepy and wanted to go to bed before ten o’clock.
When Aunt Li heard this letter, she couldn't control herself and cried. God knew how excited she was. In the middle of the night, she went to Baozhu's room to read it. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, her excited heart slowly became slow.
Calm down.
So, she especially thanked Lin Zhiyu.
The little doubts about her building a fish pond disappeared. At this moment, she was full of hope that Lin Zhiyu's fish pond could be built as soon as possible. By then, the yield of crucian carp will increase, and she will buy her beads every day!
In her opinion, this crucian carp is no longer a delicious food, but a magical medicine for her daughter to cure her illness.
How could Lin Zhiyu give such a valuable thing for free?
Aunt Li insisted on giving money.
"Aunt, when my grandmother and my aunt were having sex at home over the years, Uncle Li has helped a lot, and I have always been grateful.
Compared to what he made for our family, what is it that I can give away a few crucian carp? Just accept it.
Besides, Baozhu and I got along. Since she likes to drink fish soup, I will give her one every day when the fish pond is built."
Lin Zhiyu had a sweet smile on his face.
This crucian carp is not only big and fresh when it is cultivated in space water. It has another more important advantage, that is, it is good for the body.
This is very obvious on Xiaodoubao. In the past few days, she has stewed a pot of crucian carp soup for Xiaodoubao every now and then. Although she didn't see her length, her face obviously became rosy and she was stronger.
It’s no longer the same as before, as if he would faint at any time when he was sick.
Li Guangming had helped the old Lin family a lot in the past, otherwise the Lin family would not have been able to persist now and would have been separated long ago with Lin Fangping and Old Lady Lin.
Moreover, she sincerely regarded Li Baozhu, a passionate and cheerful girl. Yesterday, Li Baozhu took the initiative to buy anti-seepage film for her, and she was so cheerful that it was worth giving her a crucian carp every day.
"Ah, this..." Aunt Li felt even more embarrassed. It was a very precious crucian carp, not a cabbage. If you give one every day, how could she receive it?
Yu Yu is really honest.
"Aunt, if you don't accept it, how can I be embarrassed to ask Uncle Li to help me with the help of my work in the future?"
"Mom, just accept it. This is Yu Yu's intention. If you don't change the crucian carp into the clay pot, it will be no new." Li Baozhu's eyes were bright. When she heard Lin Zhiyu say she was in love with her, she actually compared her heart.
Drinking honey water is still sweet.
If Yu Yu gives her crucian carp, then she will help Yu Yu with more things. Isn’t this what friends should do?
"Oh, okay, you two talk, I'll change the crucian carp into the clay pot."
As long as she said this, Aunt Li refused, she seemed to be a heretic. She quickly walked away with a basin, leaving time for them to talk.
