Sun Xiuhua lowered her voice: "He said you were stained with something dirty and asked me to wait until you were discharged from the hospital and take you to him for a look. I think it's probably Yang Laoyao who is pestering you. Who asked you to find his wife?
trouble."
"Yang Lao Yao! I'm not afraid of him even when he's alive, but I'm still afraid of him when he's dead." Liu Jinbao sneered.
Sun Xiuhua looked at him: "Jinbao, you should go to your husband's house with your mother when you go back! You are getting married on New Year's Day, just in case anything happens!"
Liu Jinbao nodded: "Okay! I listen to you."
Sun Xiuhua glanced at him in surprise, not expecting him to respond so quickly this time.

In the afternoon, Lin Lan and Lin Yuezhen picked the cowpeas from the vegetable field, removed the insect eyes and cleaned them. After boiling a few ladles of water in a pot, they boiled the cowpeas until they were raw, took them out and put them in a dustpan to drain.
The water is dried on the rope under the eaves.
After drying for a day, cut a part into short sections and add salt, white wine, red oil sea pepper, pepper noodles, white sugar and sesame seeds, mix well and put it into a sealed glass bottle.
Part of it is dried into dried cowpeas. In winter, when there are few vegetable varieties, cut pork belly or pork ribs and braise them, and the stew tastes good.
Lin Yuezhen also collected a lot of melon and vegetable seeds, and also kept the watermelon seeds sent by Li Xiangyang, preparing to plant watermelons on her own land next year.
After resting for a day to regain her energy, Lin Lan started working again. Thinking that the Mid-Autumn Festival had just passed, she reduced the output a bit.
The Wang Zhixue brothers took the goods and walked away for a while, then Zhou Xiaohong came.
"Xiao Lin, you must be so tired! I never dreamed that the mooncakes you made taste so good!"
"Sister Zhou, please stop making fun of me." Lin Lan packed the goods for her with a smile, and then asked, "Sister Zhou, you said you went to see the house that day, how did it go?"
"I looked at a few places and they were either too small or too big. They were in good locations and too expensive. I don't have that much money." Zhou Xiaohong said with a smile.
Lin Lan nodded: "My third brother said that the direction of the wind has changed. There are already small vendors in the city where he served as a soldier. He also said that he will no longer care about us businessmen. I was a little moved after hearing this and wanted to buy a place.
The house on the street is left for future business."
Zhou Xiaohong looked at Lin Lan happily: "Great! I saw a house two days ago. The owner and my wife are classmates and good friends. His house is on Limin Street, turning left of the department store, next to
Limin State-owned Hotel.
There are six shops in a row on the street, and there are six on the second floor. There is a small courtyard and six tile-roofed houses in the back. When the tail was cut off, it was confiscated and was confiscated. It was only taken back two months ago.
I went to his house as a gift yesterday and he said he was going to sell his house and move to the provincial capital to settle down. I asked about the price and my family couldn't afford that much money. Three rooms for the two of us would be just right."
Lin Lan thought for a while: "Sister Zhou, I'm afraid the location of Limin Hotel is a bit expensive. I can't afford it if it's too expensive."
"You must be able to afford it!" Zhou Xiaohong looked at her with a smile: "He said he sold it to others for 12,000 and gave me 11,180, but it must be paid in full. I can only buy half of it with my money. I bought it yesterday
I just wanted to ask you."
Lin Lan thought to herself: Eleven thousand and eighty, half of which costs five thousand and nine per person, there is no problem in taking it out. According to the current purchasing power, the price is a bit expensive.
Seeing Lin Lan's hesitation, Zhou Xiaohong persuaded: "Xiao Lin, the house is more expensive, but the location has not been around for a long time, and some old furniture will be given to us. If we are really allowed to open the door for business, the front shop and the back room will be
No need to work so hard.”
Lin Lan nodded: "Okay, let's go take a look when we have time."
"Let's go and close the stall in the afternoon." Zhou Xiaohong said.
"Okay! Lin Lan nodded in agreement.
Zhou Xiaohong gave her a thumbs up: "Xiao Lin, no wonder the old man said that there is no shortage of craftsmen. With your skills, in the future you can set up a store to sell them in glass cabinets like a food station, and your business will be even bigger!"
Lin Lan smiled and shook his head: "Sister Zhou, I am only half a bucket full of water. When the day comes, when those old craftsmen come out, I won't be able to get on the stage."
Zhou Xiaohong sighed: "Yes! The house we went to see in the afternoon, the owner's family has been running restaurants for generations. I heard my old man Chen said that his house used to be very prosperous. He was also afraid of being punished and did not dare to stay here anymore.
Already."
Lin Lan nodded, the two chatted for a while, and Zhou Xiaohong hurriedly set up a stall.
"Sister, I'm going out to work!" Lin Lan said to Lin Yuezhen who was cooking pig food in the room, put on her straw hat, carried her bamboo basket and went out.
As soon as I went out, I saw the old lady walking towards me, holding her waist. She walked up to her and asked, "Uncle, are you sending Dandan back? What's wrong with your waist?"
The old lady looked at Lin Lan with a scrutinizing look, and smiled faintly: "My waist is a little swollen and uncomfortable. I sent Dandan to school. He said that no one would send Dandan to school, and he said that no one would send him to him, so I followed him quietly to school.
, just came back."
"Oh! If you don't feel well, go and have a look early."
Lin Lan looked at the old lady's expression and felt something in her heart: Dandan, that brat, must have said it in front of the old lady and made herself his damn business.
After thinking about it, I had never had such an idea. What's the point of it? He smiled calmly and said: "Xiaodouzi didn't let me give it away either. I go with Xiaokai every day."
The old lady looked at Lin Lan: "The baby is old and has some unrealistic ideas. We have to take care of it when we should take care of it. Dandan is not sensible, so you don't need to take what he said to heart."
Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "Uncle, don't worry, I understand. I'm going to work first."
"Go for it!"
The old lady looked at Lin Lan's back and had mixed feelings in her heart. This child is now hard-working, hard-working, remembers feelings, and treats people honestly. She really likes her. She thought she had such thoughts to teach the child.
Now it seems that Dandan felt that his aunt was good to him, and he and Xiaodouzi brothers were good friends. They wanted to live together, so that's why he said such things to him.
Lin Lan is happy to get back together, but she is Yang Lao Yao's wife. If Dingbang gets married to her, there will be lots of gossip on the brother-in-law team, which will definitely hinder Dingbang's future.
That’s it! Keep away from each other in the future to avoid making jokes over time.
Lin Lan saw the alienation in the old lady's eyes. She knew the old lady's temper. Although she would not anger her, she would alienate her from now on.
She decided to have as little contact as possible in the future, so as not to embarrass the old lady.
In the afternoon, after Lin Lan closed the stall, she asked Yang Liying to help take things home. She and Zhou Xiaohong went to Limin Street to look at houses.
Arriving at Limin Street, Lin Lan found that there were five-story buildings on both sides of the street, which looked cleaner than other streets. This street was indeed the center of the east city center, and the flow of people was much denser than other streets.
The department store at the crossroads was crowded with people, and the salespersons looked like stepmothers and threw things in front of customers without bothering.
Opposite the department store was the Limin Hotel. As they crossed the street, Lin Lan saw two men, one tall and one short, standing in front of a small door in front of a row of closed stores. The short man was Zhou Xiaohong's lover, Chen Dongming.
.
Chen Dongming is a simple and honest man. Although he is not in good health, he still tries his best to help Zhou Xiaohong.
The tall man was thin, with a tired face full of wrinkles of worry. He was probably the homeowner.
