He Xianghua nodded: "Yes! The fields have been divided into households, and small businesses are allowed. If we don't have enough food and clothing, there will be no one to complain about."
Zhang Rongqing felt that He Xianghua's words spoke to his heart: "Yes, everyone does his own thing, so as not to raise a group of sneaky people."
Yang Meihua took over the conversation: "Yes! Not to mention that there are hundreds of households in a brigade, even a few brothers in a family are honest and hard-working and suffer the consequences."
"When you are divided into households, you don't necessarily have to be honest and willing to work to live a good life," He Xianghua pointed to his head. "You have to be smart and down-to-earth to live a well-off life as mentioned on the radio."
Li Guizhi said: "Xiao Lin is the one. I think she is the group of people who got rich first as mentioned on the radio. We must learn some experience in getting rich from Xiao Lin in the future."
After the dishes were served, everyone sat around and started eating.
Red and bright in color, sweet and glutinous in flavor, moderately soft, fat but not greasy, sweet and white, big bone stewed radish with some dried mushrooms in it, tender and slightly sticky garlic sprouts stir-fried with blood, fresh and delicious peas
Jianxuewang soup, stir-fried braised pork intestines, fat but not greasy braised pork head... everyone's mouths were full of oil.
"Grandma's cooking is so delicious, even better than my mother's cooking." Xiaoxue sisters were full of praise.
After He Li tasted two pieces of Xuewang, she scooped up a bowl of Xuewang soup and said, "I haven't eaten Xuewang for a long time. Grandma's cooking is so delicious."
Xiaomei nodded: "My family is the same. Uncle Xiangyang often sends pig blood and sausages to my family. The ones made at home are not as delicious as those made by grandma."
Seeing that they liked to eat, Lin Lan added another basin of Xuewang to them and said with a smile: "Is it really so delicious? I think you two are very good at cooking."
"No!" Xiao Kai looked at Lin Lan, "Auntie, I like to eat your food the most."
Yang Meihua, who was in the main room, laughed after hearing this: "I want to come to my aunt's house every day to eat delicious food, and she even dislikes the fact that my fried potatoes are not as delicious as my aunt's fried potatoes."
Xiao Kai muttered: "I'm not talking nonsense."
Li Guizhi and Zhang Rongqing came to Lin Lan's house for dinner for the first time. They ate the food cooked by Wu Shufen and thought that Lin Lan's cooking skills were inherited from her mother.
After the people at the two tables had eaten and drank enough, Yang Meihua and his wife took their two children and left.
Li Guizhi and his wife heard that Lin Lan was hiring someone in his shop and wanted their eldest daughter, Hongxing, to go work for Lin Lan. Seeing that Lin Lan was busy packing her things and having an engagement party tomorrow, they hesitated for a moment and then left and went home.
Zhao Dehai and Wang Zhilin helped Lin Lan send Xiaoxue and the others home, while Wang Zhixue and his son helped make bean paste and mashed beans.
Seeing Wu Shufen's tired look, Lin Lan said apologetically: "Mom, you go to bed first, I'll do it here."
Wu Shufen glanced at her, shook her head and said, "Mom, it's okay. The farm work is much more tiring than this. If we don't help you, you won't be able to sleep until midnight!"
Yang Liqun also said: "My mother-in-law, I have to rely on you to prepare the banquet tomorrow. You should take Douzi to bed. We are here to help."
When Wu Shufen saw someone helping her, she felt relieved and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to Liqun. I'll take the beans to wash up and go to bed."
Lin Lan glanced at Xiaoyun and Xiaoli who were helping to peel the beans, and asked Yang Liqun in a low voice: "Sister, have you visited the third sister? Is she feeling better?"
According to the rules in the countryside, women who are in confinement cannot go to other people's homes to play for fear of bringing something bad luck to other people's homes.
"Much better, and her face is rosy." Yang Liqun approached Lin Lan and said, "Lin Lan, I heard from Zhi Xue that Xiang Yang can get a bicycle and a sewing machine?"
Lin Lan nodded: "Xiang Yang has an uncle who can get it. Do you want to buy it for Zhixue to get married?"
"Well! Sister, please tell Xiang Yang and help Zhixue buy it for us from his uncle. The price will be the same as the price he sold it to others."
"Okay, I will see Xiang Yang tomorrow and tell him."
"I'll ask Yuru to come over and play with Uncle Lin and the others for a few days. Then I'll go to your place to choose some clothes and buy a watch or something."
Yang Liqun said, holding Lin Lan's hand, "Sister, I know you are a generous person. Let me make an agreement with you first. When Yuru buys clothes and watches, you must collect the capital. If you don't want money, we can only find a way to find someone to go to the department store."
The building was bought.”
Lin Lan nodded cheerfully: "Okay, I'll take the money, you can just come."
Several people were busy in the kitchen. After more than an hour, Zhao Dehai and Wang Zhilin also came back.
Zhao Dehai took Xiaoli and sister home to sleep. Yang Liqun and his family helped Lin Lan prepare tomorrow's wholesale goods, and also helped hang the sausages on the beams of the kitchen. On the hanging wooden pole, the family was talking.
The call came back.
Lin Lan had just finished washing when she heard Wangcai shouting enthusiastically. Knowing that it was Li Xiangyang who was here, she put on her coat and slippers and walked towards the entrance of the courtyard: "Xiang Yang, is it you?"
"It's me!" Li Xiangyang's voice came in.
Lin Lan opened the courtyard door and saw him sitting on the bicycle, his face a little red, and said quickly: "Come in quickly, are you drunk?"
Li Xiangyang shook his head, kissed her quickly, held her hand and looked at her with a stupid smile: "It's too late, I won't go in. I'll take a look at you and then go back."
Lin Lan smelled the smell of alcohol on his body and glared at him: "You said you were not drunk, but your mouth smelled of alcohol."
Li Xiangyang pulled on his woolen sweater and said, "I'm really not drunk. The smell of alcohol is strong on my clothes. I deliberately put some alcohol on my clothes, otherwise I wouldn't be able to leave."
Lin Lan smelled it, and found that the sweater was full of the smell of alcohol, and said with a smile: "It's so noisy, who are drinking?"
"Brother Shuiqing, Uncle Da, Zhigang... there are a few others you don't know." Li Xiangyang waved to her after saying, "It's cold, you go inside and sleep, I'm going back."
Lin Lan nodded: "Ride slowly on the road and go to bed early when you get back."
"I've already ordered the fish and meat. I'll pick up grandma tomorrow morning and won't come over. I'll take the things directly to the shop." After speaking, Li Xiangyang lowered his head and pecked her on the lips, then pedaled off.
Lin Lan rubbed her hot face, turned around and entered the yard, closed the door and walked into the house.
Early the next morning, Lin Lan got up and took Qiaohui to the shop, leaving her to help in the department store and went to the clothing store opposite.
As soon as the rolling shutter was opened, the Xiaoxue sisters came from the opposite side: "Aunt Lin, you are engaged to Uncle Xiangyang today, aren't you going home?"
Lin Lan nodded: "Return, be careful, don't be careless."
Xiaomei said: "Don't worry, Aunt Lin, we are smart!"
Lin Lan walked to the door, turned around and told the two of them: "Remember to restore the original price today, there will be no discount. If there are many people, call Qiaohui to help."
Xiaoxue nodded repeatedly: "We remember it."
Lin Lan went to the department store opposite. Zhou Yongmei came out of the backyard and said to her: "Xiao Lin, don't worry, I will help look after the store before noon."
"Thank you, Sister Yongmei." Lin Lan thanked him with a smile, told He Li and Qiao Hui, and rode back.
