Li Xiangyang rolled his eyes at him: "It must be that guy Dongzi who is bragging in front of you."
Brother Yong looked at him sternly: "It's time for you to find a partner. People who are the same age as you are already spoiled."
Li Xiangyang curled his lips: "You can talk to me about this after you bring the baby."
"It's better to forget about me like this!" Brother Yong shrugged self-deprecatingly, "Women are afraid of babies when they see them."
Li Xiangyang patted him on the shoulder: "Take your time, there will be bright-eyed women who will discover your goodness."
The two of them entered the room and sat down, and Li Shuiqing walked in: "I saw your bicycle outside, and I knew you were here."
Li Xiangyang smiled and looked at him: "How's the investigation going?"
After sitting down, Li Shuiqing said: "Although Liu Guozhi is a bit domineering in the Lexing Brigade, he has never done anything to steal or sell the property of the production team in the past years as the captain. Apart from giving easy jobs to his own family, he has never done anything else.
In matters of justice, it is fair.
Liu Jinbao was a gambler. He guarded the safekeeping room of a small team and stole peanuts and fish from the fish pond to sell several times. At the end of March and the beginning of April, he played a gangster and kicked the widow's door and was almost killed by her. A few days ago, he
He was put in a sack and beaten.
These days, I often gamble at the house of an old man from the construction brigade. I heard from someone who knows that he lost a lot of money because he killed pigs in his nest. This old man was also beaten up by Team Yang's widowed sister-in-law and his cousin, and his face looked like
I opened a dyeing shop, but it’s still not good now.”
After hearing this, Li Xiangyang thought for a while: "Let them play. When Liu Jinbao loses almost all his money, tell him about the old man's den to kill pigs. It's best to let them fight dog to dog."
"Okay!" After Li Shuiqing agreed, he looked at him again after thinking about it, "Xiang Yang, I don't remember Liu Jinbao provoking us!"
"It's my private matter." Li Xiangyang glanced at the two people who were winking at each other, "I'm going back."
"Oh!" Brother Yong pulled Li Shuiqing, "I heard from Dongzi that the iron tree is blooming."
Li Shuiqing looked gossipy: "Do you know who the target is?"
Brother Yong shook his head: "Dongzi refused to tell me, and told me not to ask."
Li Shuiqing smiled and said: "It seems that I haven't caught it yet. If I want to find it, it will be a good thing."
Li Xiangyang rode his bicycle to the vehicle factory and rode straight down for ten minutes. He arrived at the alley next to the commune house opposite the silk factory. He turned and rode in the long alley for three or four minutes. He saw Yao Xiuyun leading his son.
in front of.
"Xiao Hai, school is out!"
The skinny kid who looked like Xu Dong turned around and said, "Uncle Xiangyang, I want to ride a bike."
Li Xiangyang stopped: "Come on, give it a try."
He ran away at a low altitude. Yao Xiuyun stepped forward and stopped him: "I'm still riding a bike when I'm in front of my house. I'll try again next time."
"Okay, try again next time!" Li Xiangyang waved to the two of them, turned right into the opposite courtyard, and said to the fat old man sitting in the courtyard at the small square table holding a bowl: "The old man has no conscience, he doesn't even wait to eat.
I."
Lao Li looked at him cheerfully: "I've been waiting for you for more than half an hour, and I can't wait to eat it first."
Li Xiangyang put away the car, took out the knives, hooks, and scales from the back of his wallet and put them away. He washed his hands and sat at the table. When he saw the braised pork sausage on the table, he raised his hand and put it aside.
Looking at him, he said seriously: "Old man, the doctor said, you can no longer eat water or greasy food."
Lao Li looked at the braised pork sausage in front of his son and took two bites of rice into his mouth. Seeing him frowning at him, he raised three fingers and said, "I only ate three pieces. I cooked them if you like them."
"Just coax me!" Li Xiangyang looked at him helplessly, "Forget it this time. Next time I see you eating fat intestines, I will punish you by eating rapeseed and green vegetables for a week."
Lao Li nodded and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Son, are you me, or am I just me?"
Li Xiangyang laughed after hearing this: "Of course you are me!"
Lao Li glared: "I am your father, why don't you listen to me, hurry up and find a wife to go home, I am still waiting to have a grandson."
"Didn't you say that finding a wife requires fate? Like you and my mother, when fate comes, it will happen naturally."
"Go! Don't bother me!" Lao Li was so angry that he picked up his chopsticks and hit him, "If you don't panic, I'm still hugging my grandson! Your aunt is here, I..."
"Have you forgotten what my aunt did to us before?" Li Xiangyang looked at him: "Don't ask anyone to marry you, I won't go see you."
Lao Li gave him a blank look and said, "..." If you don't go, I will invite you to my home. I won't believe you if you don't see it.

Lin Lan and Lin Yuezhen went home and cooked. One of them fed the pigs and chickens and cleaned the pig pen. The other washed the lard, cut it into small pieces and put it in a pot and added two ladles of water to refine the oil.
Yang Liying walked in with a smile on her jacket, and took two pieces of aqua blue Doliang, a piece of aqua red thin cotton cloth, a set of children's clothes, cloth shoes, cotton shoes and two pairs of plastic sandals.
Sincerely thank Lin Lan for helping them and ask her to accept it no matter what.
After accepting it, Lin Lan sent Yang Liying away, feeling that she and her son would not have to buy fabrics or shoes in the past two years.
After seeing off Yang Liying, Lin Yuezhen came out of the pigsty, washed her hands and carried a basket on her back to show Lin Lan the green vegetables inside, and told her that the old lady had sent them for her to make pickled vegetables.
Lin Lan nodded: "Okay, just wash it and make sauerkraut."
Lin Yuezhen brought the green vegetables to the edge of the ditch and cleaned them. After rinsing them with well water, she cut them and hung them on bamboo poles to dry. To make sauerkraut, the green vegetables must be dried and not stained with a little oil. They must be stained with a little sauerkraut in the oil jar.
It's all broken.
Lin Lan refined the lard, washed her hands with soap, took out the jar that the original owner had placed in the woodshed, which could hold thirty kilograms of sauerkraut at a time, washed it, scalded it with boiling water, and left it to dry in the courtyard.
The two of them cleaned up the wall facing the entrance, placed the chopping board there, and took a few pieces of kraft paper to cover the earthen wall to prevent plaster from falling.
With the chopping board, two people can work together, and the speed is much faster.
After making orchid bean and kidney bean rolls, the two sisters washed up and lay down. Lin Lan touched Xiaodouzi's pillow and suddenly felt empty in her heart. She found that she was beginning to miss her son.
The next day, when Lin Lan came back from work, the sisters had eaten, washed themselves, and started cutting and steaming beans.
Lin Lan was glad that she bought this big steamer so that she could steam all the beans in one pot.
The sales of the three varieties were good, and the demand for ingredients was also great. Lin Lan negotiated a wholesale price with Li Wu, and he supplied all the ingredients.
Before leaving the stall in the afternoon, I left a pot of water for pressing the tofu, scooped two ladles of water into the pot, added peppercorns, dried chili peppers, ginger, sugar and a small amount of salt, brought to a boil and let it dry.
Went out to set up a stall.
When I came back from setting up the stall, the water in the green vegetables had been dried in the sun. After drying, the vegetable leaves were soft and soft. I collected them and put them in a basin. I gently rubbed the green vegetables with a small amount of salt. The old man said that this is called broken green.
Put the chopped green vegetables into a jar, pour the cooled water without any grease on it into the jar, then pour in water to cover the vegetables, cover the jar, fill the jar with water and seal it for a week
The sauerkraut that turns golden in color is ready to be opened.
Pickled cabbage with minced meat, pickled cabbage with vermicelli soup...Lin Lan thinks that these naturally grown, pollution-free vegetables taste better.
Two plants were given to one place, and after the old lady ate them, she gave Lin Lan a dozen green vegetables to pickle.
