Lin Lan smiled and said: "She is the youngest daughter of my mother's aunt. They live in the mountains. You didn't see them last time."
Xiaodouzi nodded: "I understand!"
Li Xiangyang scooped the pea tip and egg soup into a soup basin and brought it to the table: "dinner is ready!"
"Here we go!" Lin Lan saw the cold shredded radish, shredded celery and pork, stir-fried pork liver with pickled peppers and green onions on the table, and said with a smile, "Look, our Chef Li's skills are really good!"
Xiaodouzi and Lin Yuezhen both smiled and nodded: "It looks delicious!"
Qiaohui felt that the food at her cousin’s house was so good that the captain’s house was not as good as hers.
After dinner, the rain subsided a little, and Lin Lan asked Li Xiangyang: "Can you spare some time? I plan to stay in Shilian for two more days this time, and stop by my aunt's house to see if I can receive good mountain goods to celebrate the New Year.
Sell."
Li Xiangyang thought for a moment, nodded and said: "If you want to go, we can go. Tomorrow I will ask Zhigang to go to the slaughterhouse to replace me."
Lin Lan nodded: "Okay, let's catch the early train to Shilian tomorrow."
"Well! I'll go back and make arrangements first."
"Okay, I'll see you out." Lin Lan stood up and took the umbrella, and the two of them walked towards the entrance of the courtyard. Li Xiangyang held Lin Lan's hand and whispered: "Are you angry this afternoon?"
Lin Lan rolled her eyes at him: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!"
"It looks good if you roll your eyes!" Li Xiangyang said, ruffling her hair and laughing softly.
Lin Lan took his hand and patted him: "Don't rub my hair anymore."
Li Xiangyang smiled and nodded: "Go back quickly, I'll call you tomorrow morning."
"Um!"
Lin Lan sent Li Xiangyang away, and thinking that Lin Yuezhen couldn't roll kidney bean rolls, he went back and said to her: "Sister Yuezhen, there is no need to soak the big white beans tonight. I plan to go back to Shilian and visit my aunt's house."
Lin Yuezhen nodded.
Qiao Hui, who was squatting aside to help wash the peas, raised his head and looked at her in surprise: "Cousin, are you really going to my house?"
"Yeah! I'm going to see what kind of wild goods you have and bring some back." Lin Lan paused and asked, "Is there anything important you're missing at home?"
Qiaohui hesitated for a moment: "Cousin, can you help me buy some salt and some pain-relieving ointment for my old man? He suffers from rheumatism." Qiaohui looked at Lin Lan and said seriously, "Cousin, I have no money now, I will do my best.
Work hard, and when you get paid, I'll pay you back."
"Okay!" Lin Lan agreed readily, thinking that she would have to leave later tomorrow. First, she would go to the hospital to buy analgesic ointment, and then go to Hou Gui to buy salt.
"Thank you, cousin!" Qiaohui said gratefully, "It's very cold in Sujia Mountain. You need to bring cotton-padded clothes and chicken shoes."
Lin Lan looked at her: "Is there cotton in the mountains?"
Qiaohui shook her head: "No! We have many mountains and very little land. My second aunt and aunt gave us all the cotton in our house!"
"I understand." Lin Lan said to Xiaodouzi, who was squatting there rubbing pea skins with Qiaohui, "Douzi, go to bed. We will go to grandma's house tomorrow."
Xiaodouzi nodded, thought about it and asked again: "Mom, when will Teacher Zheng feel better from having a cold?"
Lin Lan rubbed his head: "I don't know, maybe it will be fine when we come back."
After Xiaodouzi went to bed, Lin Lan went out and told Lin Yuezhen what to pay attention to when making pumpkin cakes and pea cakes. Together they made the cakes for tomorrow's wholesale. Then they went back to the room to pack her and Xiaodouzi's cotton-padded clothes, pants, and cotton shoes before going to bed.
.
The rain subsided the next day, and there was drizzle in the sky. The whole village was misty and rainy, like a landscape painting.
Li Xiangyang came early in the morning, wearing a dark blue wool stand-collar youth suit, a white woolen sweater underneath, and dark blue ironed straight straight pants. He looked handsome and energetic.
Lin Lan looked at him with a smile: "This looks good. When did you do it?"
Li Xiangyang's eyes flashed with a satisfied smile, "I made it a few days ago, does it look good? Why don't I think so?" He handed over the package he was carrying, "I also made a set for you, try it and see if it suits you?"
"Did you make it for me?" Lin Lan looked at him in surprise, "How do you know my size?"
Seeing her surprised look, Li Xiangyang smiled and said, "Ask Sister Yuezhen for it!"
"Thank you! I'll go try it now!"
Lin Lan took it and walked towards the room, taking out a three-button suit with the same color and material as Li Xiangyang, a small rounded collar suit, and a milky white woven woolen sweater inside. It was simple.
Flat stitch, simple and elegant.
Lin Lan put on a soft sweater and put on a coat. The length was just right. The tailor's skills were really good and the waist was well adjusted. She put on pants, which were also suitable. Lin Lan found that the sides of the pants and the trouser pockets were
The original buttonholes were replaced with zippers.
These days, no one dares to put the zipper of women's pants on the front, otherwise they will be scolded to death.
Lin Lan put on her clothes, tied her hair up, and walked out. Lin Yuezhen in the kitchen gave her a thumbs up, and Qiao Hui repeatedly said it looked good.
Lin Lan's old face turned red and she walked out of the kitchen. Looking at Li Xiangyang, she felt that the two of them were wearing couple's clothes.
Li Xiangyang looked at her with bright eyes: "Master Yao also persuaded me to make you a light-colored one. I think this one looks good, and it really does."
Xiaodouzi also ran to her and looked at her with a smile: "Mom looks really good today."
Lin Lan rubbed his head: "The new clothes Douzi wore today look good too." Today he wore a maroon corduroy children's clothing, which reflected his pink skin and made him as handsome as a girl.
"Hey!" The little brat went into the house and looked in the mirror.
Li Xiangyang looked at her deeply: "Are you leaving now?"
Lin Lan told him about buying salt and plaster: "I'm going to buy things from Hou Gui. Let's take the later bus."
"I'll go find him, and you go to the city hospital to buy plaster." Li Xiangyang took the backpack off the car, put it on the ground, got on the car and drove away.
"Uncle Xiangyang, I want to go with you." Xiaodouzi shouted and ran out of the house, still holding the urea bag in his hand.
Lin Lan looked at him dumbfounded: "You brat, there is a bamboo hat made by your grandpa at home. If you don't wear it, you just like to tie the urea bag."
Xiaodouzi shook his head: "Brother Kai said that the bamboo hat is heavy and it is troublesome to hold the umbrella, but the urea bag is light and convenient. You can put it in your schoolbag without folding it. You can use it next time without fear of being stolen."
"Little Clever!" Li Xiangyang pinched his nose and carried him to the back seat, "Hold my uncle's waist tightly."
"Hey!" Xiaodouzi responded loudly and waved to Lin Lan, "Mom, bye~"
"Ha!" Lin Lan laughed, "Little guy, who did you learn this weird accent from?"
"That's what those people on the street who wear big-legged trousers and are arrogant say!" Wang Zhixue said and walked in with Wang Zhilin carrying a basket.
Wang Zhilin laughed and said: "Brother, you don't understand, this is called fashion!"
"It looks good if it's popular!" Wang Zhixue glared at him, "I think it's true that some people in the family wear big trousers and don't need a broom to sweep."
