Walking back, Lin Lan and Yang Liying found that more people took the initiative to greet them.
Yang Liying sighed: "The news about my family buying a shop may have been spread by a few carpenters and plasterers."
"Just pass it on! I'm too lazy to pay attention to these gossips."
As Lin Lan said this, she remembered the saying, "When you are poor in a busy city, no one cares about you, but when you are rich, you have distant relatives in the mountains." When you are poor, others walk around you, but when you are rich, there are people who greet you from far away. This is how people in the world are, many people make the icing on the cake, but few people provide help in times of need.
for.
Arriving at the door of Lin Lan's house, Yang Liying and her husband said goodbye and went back.
Brother Yong gave the net bag to Lin Yuezhen, which contained two bottles of cans, a bag of white rabbit, and some fruits.
Lin Yuezhen blushed and gestured: "You are too polite."
Brother Yong went out with her for a few days, and he could understand some sign language: "I bought it blindly!"
Lin Lan found it a little funny, so she poured out the ship's nails and took them to the backyard for cleaning.
"I'll help you." Li Xiangyang took the kitchen knife and followed.
Wu Shufen glanced at Brother Yong who was sitting there with a red face, pushed Lin Yuezhen, and whispered: "Go and talk to someone."
Lin Yuezhen blushed: "No, Xiangyang is talking to him!" After saying that, she picked up the gauze for the stall, carried the basket, and walked towards the well in the backyard with the bucket.
After the weather got colder, the water in the ditch was too cold and the well water was warm in winter and cool in summer. Lin Lan and she mostly washed things in the well in the backyard.
Brother Yong saw her carrying a bucket and walking towards the backyard. He smiled and stepped forward to take it: "I'll help you get water!"
Wu Shufen looked at the two busy couples in the backyard, squinting and smiling, and asked Lin Lan, who was washing the boat nails with Li Xiangyang: "Xiao Lan, what do you eat after washing the boat nails?"
Lin Lan raised his head and said with a smile: "How about deep-fried and braised?"
Xiaodouzi ran back from nowhere and saw Lin Lan hammering nails into the whole boat. He hurriedly said: "Mom, save some, I like to eat fried fish."
Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "Okay! Mom will leave some for you."
Wu Shufen reached out to hold Xiaodouzi: "My dear grandson, it's windy at the back door. Go back to the kitchen with grandma."
Xiaodouzi nodded and shook his head: "Brother Dandan bought a new story book. I will come back and look for him."
Wu Shufen nodded: "Okay, let's go play for a while and come back." The mother-in-law and grandson went into the house.
Lin Lan washed the fish and thought of setting up a hot pot table for hot pot and barbecue in this weather. She looked up at Li Xiangyang and said, "Can you still find the iron plate?"
She remembered a novel she had read before, in which the heroine had great hands-on skills and the barbecue table made in ancient times was particularly practical.
Li Xiangyang nodded: "I can find it, what are you going to use it for?"
Lin Lan took a knife and drew a picture of a hot pot table on the ground: "I want to make a table like this. The middle of the tabletop is hollowed out, and an iron stove is hung underneath. Charcoal can be placed in the stove for burning. The hollowed out position
Put the copper basin in the mouth to eat hot pot, cover it with an iron plate and eat barbecue."
Li Xiangyang looked at it and thought for a moment: "The stove below must be separated by a wooden board, otherwise people will be burned when the charcoal fire ignites."
Lin Lan thought for a moment after hearing this: "You are still thoughtful!"
Li Xiangyang: "I'll find someone to prepare it for you!"
"Yeah!" Lin Lan nodded and suddenly thought of an idea, "You can take a look at it when it's done. If possible, after the black market at the clothing factory stops, find someone to repair the house inside.
When private restaurants are allowed to open, we can open a hot pot restaurant there and sell barbecue in the dam."
Li Xiangyang looked at her in surprise: "That's great, I thought the house would be useless if the black market closed it down."
These days, even if you have money, you may not be able to eat what you want. He remembered that when he was a child, there were various restaurants on the streets, and the business of delicious food was very good.
"Lin Lan still has a way." Brother Yong looked at Li Xiangyang, "If we open a hotel as you said, we will have to spend money to renovate the house."
Lin Lan looked at the surprised expressions of the two people and thought that the reform would not be smooth sailing, otherwise Ha'er Guazi would not be imprisoned.
"Don't rush into it yet. Think about it after being closed for so many years. If there is a recurrence, the first one to come forward may have to suffer a little."
Li Xiangyang agreed with her point of view: "What you said is true, not everyone wants the government to liberalize it." People like those in charge of the black market in Dongzikou don't want to liberalize it.
Brother Yong nodded and said to Li Xiangyang: "No matter what happens, I will follow you!"
Li Xiangyang rolled his eyes at him: "If you don't return to the joint defense team, why are you following me?"
Brother Yong shook his head repeatedly: "Why are you going back? I am a temporary worker with a low educational level. My salary when I go back is only about ten yuan a month, which is not as much as what I make with you." After a pause, Brother Yong continued,
"Shui Qing also told me that returning to the joint defense team is just running errands. I might as well be at ease with you!"
Li Xiangyang rolled his eyes: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, and you're just messing around with your iron rice bowl. If you follow me as a pig butcher, what's the future?"
Lin Lan was confused by the two: "Brother Yong is also in the joint defense team? Why are you watching the scene in your black market?"
Li Xiangyang smiled and said: "That's what it is. I'm helping the superiors watch the black market over there, and this guy was sent by them to supervise me."
Brother Yong chuckled: "When I changed my job, I was assigned to the joint defense team and sent to watch Xiangyang. Later, I was corrupted by his pig intestines and pig waste."
"Get out!" Li Xiangyang smiled and kicked him, "I didn't corrupt you, you were just greedy! I never asked you to do anything illegal!"
Brother Yong smiled and nodded: "If we really did something illegal, we would have been caught long ago."
Lin Lan and Lin Yuezhen looked at the two of them curiously: "Pig intestines, what's going on with pigs going into the water?"
Brother Yong said with a smile: "It was much more difficult in the past few years than now. People's stomachs are short of oil and water, and their mouths water three feet long when smelling the fragrance. Uncle Li's cooking is particularly delicious. Xiangyang also learned a skill, and the father and son
He made these all day long and gave them to us to eat. If he ate too much, he would corrupt them."
Lin Yuezhen looked at the two of them and smiled.
"Hahaha! Corrupted by pigs, unprecedented!" Lin Lan was overjoyed, "What about Brother Shui Qing and Zhi Gang?"
Brother Yong: "Brother Shui Qing is also a veteran. He is from the east of the city. His wife has asthma and he has three children. The eldest son is in junior high school, the second sister is in fifth grade, and the younger son is in third grade. Life at home is very difficult.
It was difficult, and Xiangyang also helped him a lot. Zhigang is an orphan, and he once came to the black market to steal something and we caught him."
"Later I found out that he was an orphan, and I saw that he was forced to steal things. Xiangyang gave him a good meal, and he shamelessly stayed to help."
Lin Lan looked at Li Xiangyang and smiled: "Zhigang has a good sense!"
After receiving the approval of his beloved, the smile slowly appeared in Li Xiangyang's eyes, revealing genuine happiness and joy.
