After the ship's nails were washed, Wu Shufen took them: "Everything else is done. Yuezhen will take Brother Yong to sit for a while. Xiaolan will call Douzi back for dinner. I will blow up the ship's nails."
Li Xiangyang said: "I'll call him!" Then he strode away.
Lin Yuezhen took Brother Yong to the main room and sat down, returned to the kitchen and poured him a glass of honey water, and sat aside with a blushing face.
Brother Yong took out a watch and a bottle of snake ointment from his pocket, and pushed them in front of her: "I bought them for you!"
Lin Yuezhen looked at the watch and snake oil ointment in front of her, not believing her ears: "Did you buy them for me?"
"Yeah!" Brother Yong nodded and said a little embarrassed, "I don't know how to buy anything, so I bought it with Xiangyang!"
Lin Yuezhen carefully picked up the watch and looked at it, then gently pushed it back to Brother Yong, picked up the snake oil ointment, and gestured with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Yong! The watch is too expensive, this face wiper is very good!"
At this moment, she was already satisfied. She was not the good-for-nothing woman that Zou Laoer had scolded, and no one even wanted her!
Yong Ge took her hand, put the watch on her wrist, looked at her and said warmly: "Hold it, no matter how precious it is, it has to be used by someone to be valuable. I don't have much ability, as long as you are willing, I will
I will treat you well all my life!"
Lin Yuezhen looked at the watch in her hand, tears suddenly falling from her eyes.
Brother Yong looked at her and said anxiously: "Don't cry! If you don't want to, forget it, I won't force you!"
Lin Yuezhen lowered her head and wiped away her tears, looked up at Brother Yong's anxious eyes, held her watch and nodded heavily.
Brother Yong happily held Lin Yuezhen's hand, and the two looked at each other with a naive smile.
Wu Shufen stood at the door of the main room holding a plate, looking at the two of them with a happy smile.
When the two saw Wu Shufen, they hurriedly let go of their clasped hands. Brother Yong stood up with a red face: "Auntie, I'll do it!"
Lin Yuezhen walked toward the kitchen with a blushing face.
"No need!" Wu Shufen put the dishes on the table and looked at Brother Yong happily, "You and Yuezhen are not young anymore. You should find your in-laws as matchmakers as soon as possible, choose a good day, and get your affairs done."
Brother Yong nodded solemnly: "Okay! Tomorrow I will go with Xiang Yang to invite Aunt Yang to propose marriage!"
Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang also walked in, one carrying a vegetable basin and the other holding a steamer.
"Eat!" Xiaodouzi put the fried boat nails on the table.
Everyone sat down and had dinner happily, and Brother Yong and Lin Yuezhen went to watch a movie. Lin Lan was busy making mung bean cake in front of the chopping board, and Li Xiangyang helped Lin Lan filter the bean paste.
Wu Shufen took Xiaodouzi to wash up and said to him: "Mom is busy, doudouzi go to bed first, okay?"
Xiaodouzi glanced at Lin Lan who was busy in front of the chopping board and nodded: "I don't need grandma to accompany me, I will sleep by myself!"
Lin Lan looked back at him with a smile: "Good son, mother will go and accompany you when she is done!"
Xiaodouzi nodded: "Yes! Mom, Uncle Xiangyang, I'm going to bed!"
Li Xiangyang: "Be good, Uncle Xiangyang will take you to watch a movie on Sunday."
"Yeah!" Xiaodouzi nodded hurriedly and looked at him with bright eyes, "I want to see the fight!"
Li Xiangyang also nodded: "Okay, let's see the fight!"
Xiaodouzi happily followed Wu Shufen to the room.
Li Xiangyang filtered the bean paste, feeling that this job looked easy but it was not: "Xiaolan, filtering the bean paste is too troublesome. It would be great if there was a machine that can filter the bean paste."
Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "Yes! I wonder if there will be one in the future?" Lao Chen hasn't written a letter yet, so maybe he hasn't seen those machines yet!
She started making pastries more than 90 years ago. At that time, the equipment was already very complete. She didn't know whether it was available these days.
"When will we go to the coastal restaurant to see if there are these machines?" Li Xiangyang said, remembering that the things he bought for Lin Lan were still in his bag, "Xiaolan, I asked someone to buy you two things.
I've put it in my satchel, and when you finish making the pea cake, go take a look."
Lin Lan glanced at the satchel hanging behind the door and nodded: "What did you buy again?"
Li Xiangyang smiled: "It's nothing, you can take a look later."
Lin Lan turned her head and glanced at the military green satchel that Li Xiangyang put in the pocket under the chopping board. Thinking of the watch Lin Yuezhen was wearing, she looked at him: "Did you buy me a watch?"
"Yeah!" Li Xiangyang smiled and nodded, "I got it from Uncle Da, who sells private goods, and bought you an alarm clock, which will make it easier for you to get up in the morning. There are also two bottles of snake oil ointment, which my mother used to use.
It’s pretty good.”
"Xiang Yang..." Lin Lan called him, looking at his smiling face, she didn't know what to say.
Li Xiangyang carried the basin of refried beans and walked to the chopping board to sit next to her. He looked at her affectionately and said in a voice like honey: "What's mine is yours. As long as you like it, I'll buy it for you."
"Fool!" Lin Lan smiled and tapped him lightly with the handle of the spoon, "If I really do this, others will call me a prodigal!"
"Why do you care about those talkative women?" Li Xiangyang looked at her lovingly, "Xiaolan, I am the one who lives with you, and it is enough that I like my wife!"
The two people's eyes were intertwined, and Li Xiangyang moved closer. At this time, the sound of Wu Shufen getting out of bed and putting on shoes was heard in the room. Lin Lan felt her face heat up, and she didn't dare to look into his eyes. She quickly sat up straight and turned him around.
, whispered: "Who is your wife? Sit back quickly!"
"You!" Li Xiangyang chuckled and sat back at the small square table with a basin in his hand.
Wu Shufen came out of the room and saw that the peas in the clay jar were boiling. She quickly picked up a spoon and scooped out the foam that had reached the edge of the jar: "Xiaolan, you didn't even look at the peas when they were boiled. Come and pour the gardenia."
Brown sugar water!"
"I didn't pay attention!" Lin Lan turned around and smiled, "Don't you know how?"
Wu Shufen shook her head: "You increased the amount, but I'm afraid it won't taste right because I'm not sure!"
"Okay, I'll do it!" Lin Lan stood up and poured the gardenia brown sugar water into the sand jar in batches. While pouring, she told Wu Shufen the amount needed now.
Wu Shufen took the spoon and continued to stir until it became thick, then started cooking the next can.
Lin Lan made the mung bean cake and cooked the peas. She brushed the mold with oil, poured in the thick pea paste, and smoothed the surface while gently pressing it with a shovel to fill the mold with pea cake.
Place on a bamboo rack and wait until completely cool before cutting into pieces.
When Li Xiangyang was about to finish filtering the kidney bean puree, Lin Yuezhen and Brother Yong came back from watching the movie.
Lin Yuezhen saw Wu Shufen peeling a pumpkin and quickly rolled up her sleeves to help.
"What movie did you watch tonight? Was it good?" Li Xiangyang asked Brother Yong with a smile.
Brother Yong nodded and shook his head: "Sweet career, I think it is to promote family planning. It said that the only son of the Li family went to the Tang family to be the son-in-law. It was just like the movie, and no one would be willing to do it!"
