Lin Lan, Li Xiangyang, and Brother Yong came out of the old lady's house. Brother Yong said to them: "I'll go back first. There are still craftsmen working at home."
Li Xiangyang nodded: "Okay, come see Grandma Yang this afternoon!"
After Brother Yong left, Lin Lan asked Li Xiangyang: "Where is the house that Brother Yong bought?"
"I bought it three or four years ago. It's right behind the clothing factory. There are three shops in between. I spent more than 500 yuan on it."
"Buying a house is the right thing to do. People must have a place to stay."
Li Xiangyang felt a little disappointed when he saw that she was still wearing her father's watch: "Xiaolan, don't you like the look of the watch?"
"I like it!" Lin Lan looked at him with a smile, "My mother said the watch you bought is too expensive, so I asked you if you could exchange it for a cheaper one."
"That's how old people are. I wish I could break a penny into two halves. I'll tell my aunt later that this is specially bought for you and cannot be exchanged!" Li Xiangyang said with a smile, "Wear it if you like it, Uncle Da said.
The watch is waterproof and is convenient for you to wear while working."
"Okay!" Lin Lan turned to look at him, "Is that Uncle Da specializing in private goods business?"
Li Xiangyang smiled and said: "Yeah! I heard that he had joined the Ge Laohui before, and he is quite loyal."
Lin Lan was stunned for a moment: "Brother Pao?"
When the two arrived home, Xiaodouzi greeted them: "Mom, Uncle Xiangyang, why did you come back? I've been hungry for a long time!"
Li Xiangyang picked him up and said, "Okay, let's eat!"
Wu Shufen asked again: "Where's Brother Yong? Why don't you come over for dinner?"
Lin Lan said: "I'm going back to clean up the house, and I'll come over with my uncle in the afternoon."
Lin Yuezhen brought the dishes that were warm in the pot to the table: fried shredded radish with oil residue, big bone kelp soup, and braised pork sausage.
Xiaodouzi pointed to the braised pork sausage in the pottery bowl: "Mom, grandma said that Uncle Xiangyang cooked the pork sausage. I tasted a piece and it was delicious!"
Lin Lan glanced at the bright yellow braised pork intestines in the pottery bowl: "Yeah! Just looking at it makes my mouth water."
Li Xiangyang smiled and said: "The old man heard that you were going to cook the fish with fat intestines, so he asked me to take the intestines back and cook them myself!" He thought of the old man making the intestines, swallowing his saliva, and asking him to take them away quickly, which was funny and heartbreaking at the same time.
After hearing this, Wu Shufen was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth: "It's very troublesome to burn intestines. Your father is interested."
Li Xiangyang: "My dad likes to cook. Last year, he felt unwell and went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor asked him to avoid eating. It is rare for him to do it now."
"Yes!" Wu Shufen nodded with a smile, "As the old saying goes, fish makes fire and meat makes phlegm. Carrots and cabbage keep you safe. Even if you eat a big meal of fish and meat, your body won't be able to bear it."
Xiaodouzi picked up a piece of fat sausage and said with a smile: "Grandma, I also like to eat meat, but I don't like to eat carrots and cabbage!"
Lin Lan put some shredded radish into his bowl: "You have to eat meat, and you have to eat vegetables. Only when you eat a combination of meat and vegetables can you grow taller! Drink more kelp soup, and you won't get big neck disease easily!"
Wu Shufen nodded: "An old doctor from the team also said so."
Xiaodouzi looked at the shredded radish in the bowl: "I know, just like those chickens at home, they can't just feed them bean dregs, but also feed them some ramie leaves and vegetable leaves, so that they can grow fast and lay a lot of eggs!"
Lin Lan thought that from the moment she bought the chicken, Douding was almost in charge of it, and praised with a smile: "Yeah! My dear son, the eggs we eat are all thanks to you!"
After hearing this, Li Xiangyang felt that this child was really smart, even smarter than he was back then!
Xiaodouzi, who was praised, grinned happily: "Mom, hatch more chicks and goslings next year, I'll feed them!"
Lin Lan nodded: "Okay, mommy will make you a chicken cake to reward you!"
After dinner, Li Xiangyang told Wu Shufen that the watch was bought by someone else and could not be replaced. He also said that Lin Lan only looked good when wearing it.
Wu Shufen saw that she couldn't exchange it, so she told him not to buy things randomly in the future, but to save a little.
Lin Lan listened and thought of what she often said in her ear: Don't spend money lavishly, save some money for later use, spend money wisely!
Li Xiangyang agreed with a smile, said goodbye and went home to prepare the pork for the evening market.
Lin Lan asked him to bring a letter to Xu Dong to invite his family over for dinner, and Li Xiangyang agreed with a smile.
Before Lin Lan left, she discussed the dishes for the evening with Wu Shufen, which included grouper fish, a chicken stewed with mushrooms, about ten pounds of fish, plus tofu pudding, fat intestines, stir-fried vegetables, plus the ribs and pork liver brought by Li Xiangyang.
, the dishes are almost enough.
Before setting up the stall, Yang Liying brought over bean curds and half a basket of eels: "Keep the eels until your brother-in-law comes back to kill them for you!"
Lin Lan nodded: "Brother-in-law went to the fish pond to catch eels?"
Yang Liying smiled and shook her head: "His two nephews went to touch it and brought it back in exchange for some tofu and tofu."
"Oh! I just said that when I was dividing the fish, I saw him drying the dam!"
While he was talking, Li Xiangyang rode a bicycle and pulled the stall cart he had hired someone to make: "Xiaolan, how about this stall for you?"
"Thank you, Xiangyang..." Lin Lan looked at the two-story building in front of her with surprise. There was also an oilcloth shed on top. The style was a bit like a stall truck. She felt sour and sweet in her heart. She didn't know how to express herself.
My mood at this time!
Li Xiangyang looked at Lin Lan and quietly held her hand while no one was paying attention.
Yang Liying and Wu Shufen both praised her: "Xiang Yang's brain is so easy to use. How did he come up with the idea of making a car like this? It will be convenient to set up a stall in the future."
Li Xiangyang smiled sheepishly: "I'm not good at it! It was the old car maker who came up with it. He used to make carts like this for others!"
Lin Yuezhen smiled and took out the basket and basket for the stall. Li Xiangyang took them and put them in the container below. They found that they fit just right.
Li Xiangyang took a cable and tied the cart to the back seat of the bicycle: "There is no need to set up a stall in the future, it can still be used for delivery!"
"Yeah!" Lin Lan felt the same way.
A few people set up their stalls and left. The old lady and Brother Yong came to her house and made arrangements for Lin Yuezhen and Brother Yong's marriage.
Rich or not, marrying a wife is a good way to celebrate the New Year. The old lady took their horoscopes and asked her husband to read them before setting a wedding date.
Brother Yong told Lin Yuezhen that he had to go to the countryside to buy some wood and come back to make some furniture.
Lin Yuezhen nodded and sent the old lady and Brother Yong away, went back to cut the beans, and prepared the evening meal with Wu Shufen.
Wu Shufen killed a rooster, cut off a piece of breast meat and put it on the steamed fish dumpling. She chopped the rest into small pieces, blanched them in water and stewed the mushrooms. Thinking that children like to eat potatoes, she planned to cook a potato with spareribs.
Lin Yuezhen went to get the potatoes. Just as Wu Shufen was about to kill the turtle, Zhao Dehai came with a saw blade.
"My mother-in-law, let me help you kill the eel!" Zhao Dehai said and walked towards the backyard.
Wu Shufen hurriedly poured him a glass of sugar water and put it on the washboard in the backyard: "Xiao Zhao, please excuse me."
Zhao Dehai smiled honestly: "No trouble, I will ask you to help with the cooking tomorrow!"
