Lao Li whipped the feather duster into the wind. Li Xiangyang dodged left and right while shouting: "Don't stick to the same old ways. If you agree, you will be more filial to your daughter-in-law in a few days. If you don't agree, I will turn around and tell you."
Go to her house and pester her hard to make her accept me as her son-in-law!"
"Why don't you tell me that you have a cheap grandson!" Lao Li panted and put his hands on his hips and yelled: "You bastard, if you dare to come to the door, I will break both of your legs!"
"Dad, don't be angry. I'll give you a few blows to vent your anger!" Li Xiangyang walked up to him and said in a sincere tone, "Dad, think about it, you are also from my age, and you also know that you like someone.
People, nothing else can be seen."
Looking at his look, Lao Li understood that he was determined by the weight: "I can't be bothered to pay attention to you, but you deliberately want to make me angry to death." After saying this, he threw away the feather duster angrily and walked towards the room.
Li Xiangyang picked up the feather duster and put it away, poured hot water into the footbath, took it to Lao Li's room, took off his shoes, helped him sit up with a playful smile, and squatted down to wash his feet.
"Old man, I can't bear to be angry with you. I wish you could live a long life. Think about it, she is so kind to Grandma Yang. As long as she makes fresh food, she will bring it to you. Ever since you helped her, she has been there every now and then.
Let me bring some cakes for you to eat."
Lao Li gave him a slap in the face: "Don't come here. Every time you wash my feet, it won't do anything good!"
Li Xiangyang looked at him with a sad face: "Dad, you are my only son, can you bear to see me unhappy and lonely all my life?"
Lao Li looked at him and said, "You are so stubborn. It's not like you don't have money to find a wife. Why do you fall in love with a widow? A young man becomes a stepfather. Do you think the stepfather is so easy to do?"
"
Li Xiangyang relaxed a little after hearing his tone, and looked at him with a smile: "Dad, Xiaodouzi is very sensible and obedient, just as obedient as I was when I was a child."
Sitting on the edge of the bed, I saw her drifting off to sleep. I picked up the watch on the cabinet and looked at it. It was almost five o'clock.
Lao Li looked at the closed door, looked at the photos on the cabinet and sighed: "Mother Yangyang, what do you think I should do? Is it really up to him to find a widow?"
Lin Lan still felt cold all over after sleeping for a while, and her throat was burning with pain. She simply turned on the light, and Lin Yuezhen looked at her sleepily.
The people on the team gathered around the door and hit her and Xiaodouzi with rotten eggs and rotten vegetables. She was so angry that she rushed up and started fighting with them...
Lin Lan shook his head, poured hot water from the teapot, washed, and then began to pound the pumpkin puree, adding flour, glutinous rice flour and other ingredients.
"Yes! Your voice is hoarse! Shall I go to the health center to buy you some medicine?" Wang Zhixue also stopped and looked at her and said.
Lin Yuezhen heard Lin Lan tossing and turning on the bed, talking in her sleep, and breathing heavily as if she was carrying hundreds of pounds to walk. She hurriedly got up, saw her face was red, and touched her forehead: she had a fever.
.
Wang Zhilin looked at her with concern: "Aunt, have you caught a cold?"
****
The rain stopped for more than an hour, and drizzle started again. Lin Lan and the two steamed the big white beans, pounded the red bean paste, and finished the pea cake before washing and resting.
Lin Lan felt warmer after drinking ginger tea and fell asleep in a daze.
She picked up a wooden stick and hit him. When a gust of wind blew, she came back and saw Uncle Li chasing her with a big broom, saying that she was shamelessly seducing her son.
Li Xiangyang picked up the footbath and left the room, closed the door and went to wash up.
"Bitch! You'll have to wait for the next life!"
Lin Lan smiled and said: "It will feel better after I sweat." As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that his throat hurt and his voice became hoarse.
When I fell asleep, I dreamed that Liu Jianguo was kneeling in front of her grave to admit his mistake, saying that he was sorry for her, asking her to forgive him, and he would make it up to her in the next life!
"I don't want to hear it, just let me think about it before I talk!" Lao Li said, taking off his clothes and pants and getting into bed, his head facing the wall and ignoring him.
Lin Yuezhen got up and heated up green onion, white and ginger tea, brought it to the bed, patted Lin Lan awake and asked her to drink it, pressed the quilt on her, wrapped Xiaodouzi in clothes, and carried him to her bed.
Lin Lan felt much more comfortable when she woke up. She looked at her watch and it was already six o'clock. She sat up and found that her pajamas were soaked with sweat. She got out of bed and took a set of clean underwear and autumn clothes to put on. She glanced at her bed.
Xiaodouzi, who was on the small bed, just left the room.
I sat there and rubbed my sore wrists, and while the dough was rising, I started making kidney bean rolls.
"Auntie, my mother won't leave the stall if it rains, and Aunt Zhou won't go either, right?" Wang Zhixue said with a smile.
Lin Lan nodded and said in a hoarse voice: "Yes! You take all the goods away. If they are not sold out, come back and let me know. I will make less in the afternoon."
Lin Yuezhen, who was standing in front of the stove frying orchid beans, saw her coming out and looked at her worriedly: "Are you feeling better?"
"There wasn't enough to sell before. Let's add some more today. We'll sell them for a while and then they'll be sold out."
He quickly found the antipyretic medicine Lin Lan had prepared for Xiaodouzi and shook her awake.
Lin Lan said in a hoarse voice: "It's a bit cold, I'll add a quilt!" As he said this, he got out of bed, opened the cabinet and took a quilt to cover himself, but he still felt cold.
Lin Lan was shaken awake by her. She felt as if a big stone was pressing on her heart. She felt an indescribable discomfort all over her body. She huddled in the bed and looked at her: "Sister, has the rain stopped?"
Lin Yuezhen: "You sit down and rest for a while, I'll come."
My hands were too weak and one of them was broken. I rested for a while to make the bean rolls, and then started to make the pumpkin pie. I fired up the oven and put the baking sheet in the oven. It was already seven o'clock.
He went into the house and touched Lin Lan's forehead. He felt that it was not so hot anymore. He went out and started to make mashed beans. After the mashed beans were mashed and the pumpkin was steamed, he started to cut the beans.
At this time, the two brothers Wang Zhixue also came. Seeing that today's goods were not ready yet, they washed their hands and helped pack the orchid beans.
Lin Yuezhen quickly put on her clothes and went out to open the back door. A cold and damp wind blew in her face, and raindrops rustled on the vegetable leaves.
Lin Yuezhen shook her head. Seeing her weak appearance, she felt sour in her heart. She helped her up and put the medicine to her mouth, and then brought her some boiled water to feed her.
When I was kneading the dough, I realized that my hands were like noodles and I couldn't lift them up. I gritted my teeth and kneaded the dough in the basin, but I felt like I couldn't even lift my hands.
Turn around and close the door, peel and cut the pumpkin into pieces, take out the big white beans from the steamer, put the pumpkin into the steamer, start the fire and start steaming the pumpkin.
Seeing the two brothers like this, Lin Lan felt warm in her heart and shook her head with a smile: "Auntie gave me cold medicine and I'm much better. Don't delay, it's already late today."
Wang Zhixue smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, it's going to be late for people going to the market if it rains."
"You go set up the stall first, and I'll go to the health center to get medicine later."
Lin Lan said as she put the pumpkin cakes into the bamboo basket and asked the two brothers to go out and set up a stall.
