When Lin Lan woke up, she took out the watch under her pillow, took a look at it, and immediately sat up. While getting dressed, she muttered: "It's almost nine o'clock, no wonder there's no movement."
She put on her clothes and went to the stove. She saw big white beans steaming in the pot, and the charcoal fire in the stove was almost over.
Lin Lan added two shovelfuls of coal cakes to the bathhouse, poured hot water and washed up. When he came back, he saw the pot lid on the table. He opened it and saw that the steamer grid was full of briquettes. He went to the backyard to pinch some green onion leaves and put them into the casserole.
I scooped out two ladles of water, put it on the stove and started boiling the water to eat.
At this time, Wangcai's affectionate shouts came from outside.
Lin Lan thought that it was probably Li Xiangyang who was here. She went over to open the kitchen door and saw him pushing his bicycle into the yard: "You're here. Have you eaten? I'm going to cook the hand."
"I didn't eat." Li Xiangyang put down his bicycle and looked at Lin Lan striding towards her.
His eyes were fixed on her, direct and eager, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
Lin Lan understood what he meant, blushed and turned around with a heartbeat to cover herself with the handwriting on the steam grid.
"Wife, I miss you, do you miss me?" Li Xiangyang hugged her and saw her blushing face. He choked on his breath and felt his throat tightening. He lowered his head and kissed her...
Different from the previous heavy rain and wind, Lin Lan felt a deep tenderness, sweetness and affection in this kiss.
Until the water in the casserole gurgled and steamed, Lin Lan panted and pushed Li Xiangyang away: "I'm hungry, the water in the pot is boiling."
"I'll spare you first."
Li Xiangyang looked at her slightly swollen lips, his throat moved, and kissed her again before letting her go.
Lin Lan suppressed the pounding in her heart, scooped up half a ladle of water and poured it into the casserole as if she was running away, then picked up the dustpan and said, "I'll pick up some pea tips and bring them back."
When Li Xiangyang saw her look, he chuckled and took the dumpling in her hand: "I'll go and you can put the seasoning in the bowl."
Lin Lan rolled her eyes at him, poured the rice into the casserole, stirred it gently with a spoon a few times, then opened the cupboard, took out a bowl, took out two bowls and put them on the stove.
I went back and poured the soy sauce, scooped out the red oil sea pepper, sesame oil, and peppercorn oil in a bowl, scooped some bone soup into the bowl, and grabbed some chopped green onion and put it in. The handle in the pot also floated up, and I picked up the colander.
Pick it up and scoop it into a bowl.
Li Xiangyang carried the pea tips into the kitchen, scooped out water and washed the pea tips, boiled them in a casserole, and then each person took a handful of them. The thin-skinned red oil stuffing was ready to eat.
The two sat down facing each other. Li Xiangyang took a swipe at him and looked up at Lin Lan with a smile: "It's better to be back. The life outside is really not what people live."
Lin Lan thought that the road conditions now were far worse than those a few decades later, and nodded: "Yes, Yangcheng is too far away, and transportation is inconvenient."
Li Xiangyang remembered something: "After we arrived in the provincial capital, we heard from Uncle Da that a department store wholesale market was also going to be opened in the provincial capital. How about the supply of goods?"
Lin Lan glanced at him: "I don't think we should have high expectations. I think even if there is a wholesale market in the provincial capital, the supply of goods will not be as good as that of Yangcheng."
Li Xiangyang looked at Lin Lan with admiration: "Uncle Da also said the same, and he also said that we are an inland area and cannot keep up with the development speed of Yangcheng no matter what."
Lin Lan remembered what Uncle Da said about selling dried mushrooms: "Uncle Da, have you ever seen the market selling dried mushrooms over there?"
Li Xiangyang shook his head: "There was no time to ask. We called Lao Zhang when we arrived, and he asked us to wait for him at the station. Then we took the goods back to the guest house, and then went to the market to buy goods. I found that people who went to Yangcheng to buy goods
More and more."
Lin Lan nodded: "There will only be more and more people doing business."
Li Xiangyang remembered the empty yard behind the clothing factory and said to Lin Lan: "Xiaolan, I originally planned to renovate the yard in the south of the city and open a hotpot restaurant, but now we are not allowed to hire more people. Look what we are doing in the black market in the south of the city.
good?"
Lin Lan said: "Policies are changing. It may not be accurate now, but it may be accurate next year or the year after that! I think as we go forward, more and more people will go out.
When we accumulate funds, we can renovate the front yard and open a restaurant, and build a seven- or eight-story building on the back lot and open a high-end guest house."
Li Xiangyang thought for a moment: "Yes, look at the guest house we are staying in in Yangcheng. We have to call in advance to make a reservation, otherwise we won't be able to stay."
Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "Yangcheng is developing rapidly, and Dongshi will also develop in the future."
Wangcai in the courtyard suddenly shouted, and there was a knock on the door of the courtyard: "Lin Lan, Shufen, are you there?"
Lin Lan frowned: "My second aunt, why is she here again?"
"You open the door and I'll wash the dishes." Li Xiangyang said and started to clear the dishes.
"Here we come." Lin Lan tied up Wangcai with a dog leash, went over and opened the courtyard door, and saw Wu Shuhui and Xu Xiaobo standing at the door.
Wu Shuhui smiled as soon as she saw Lin Lan: "Xiaolan, my second aunt said something bad that day. It's her fault. Don't argue with her."
She didn't want to beg Wu Shufen and her daughter. Two days after returning home, Xiaobo didn't know what was wrong. He suddenly said that he was going to Lexing to learn how to make cakes from Lin Lan. He pestered her for several days and forced her to bring him to Lexing.
Xu Xiaobo also said: "Cousin, I'm sorry, it's because I'm not sensible and I don't speak well. You, sir, don't argue with me."
Lin Lan looked at the mother and son speechlessly for a moment, then said: "Second aunt, you go in and sit down first, and I'll call my mother back."
Wu Shuhui, mother and son, followed Lin Lan to the eaves of the corridor, and Lin Lan brought her a chair.
"Second aunt doesn't want to sit down," Wu Shuhui looked at Lin Lan sternly, "No need to call you mom, I sent Xiaobo to learn crafts from you. Please accept Xiaobo for the sake of second aunt and your mother being biological sisters.
This apprentice."
Lin Lan felt that it was impossible for a person like Xu Xiaobo, who had not been severely beaten by society, to change his temper in a short period of time, unless he changed his mind like her.
She remembered the subconscious behavior of people who had seen lying before, and looked at Xu Xiaobo seriously: "Do you really want to learn how to make cakes from me?"
Xu Xiaobo raised his head and looked at Lin Lan steadily: "Cousin, I really want to learn from you."
Lin Lan asked again: "Have you really thought about it?"
Xu Xiaobo responded again: "Really cousin, I really want to learn from you."
Lin Lan looked at his blinking eyes and thought of Wu Shufen. After a moment, she nodded and said, "If you think about it, then study hard."
Xu Xiaobo breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be happy and said: "Thank you cousin, I will learn from you."
Wu Shuhui looked at Lin Lan gratefully: "Xiaolan, thank you, my second aunt has a bad temper, so don't argue with her."
Lin Lan smiled politely: "You are an elder, how can I argue with you!"
Li Xiangyang washed the pots and dishes and came out of the kitchen. Lin Lan said to him: "Xiangyang, this is the second aunt, and this is Xiaobo."
