Li Xiangyang, Wu Shuhui, and Xu Xiaobo said hello, and said to Lin Lan: "Should we go out together, or should I go call mom back?"
Lin Lan looked at Wu Shuhui: "Second aunt, would you like to go to the street with us to take a look?"
Wu Shuhui glanced at Li Xiangyang, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go take a look with you."
She didn't expect that Lin Lan could find such a good man in his second marriage. She felt that God was unfair, why did he always help Wu Shufen.
Someone else's son served in the army for three years and came back disappointed. Her son was able to make a career as a soldier, and even got a job in Dongshi after changing his job.
After Xu Xiaobo saw Li Xiangyang, he suddenly felt uneasy.
Li Xiangyang went to open the main room, pushed Lin Lan's bicycle out, and looked at Xu Xiaobo lightly: "Cousin, can you ride a bicycle?"
He felt that Lin Lan, his cousin, had something wrong with his eyes, and that it was impossible for a second-rate person with unclean hands and feet to really change his bad habits.
Xu Xiaobo nodded quickly: "Yes, yes." For some reason, he suddenly felt uneasy after seeing Li Xiangyang.
"This car is easier to ride. I'll ride it with my second aunt for you." Li Xiangyang said and closed the main room door.
Lin Lan went back to the kitchen and cleaned up the stove. She looked at the big white beans in the steamer and saw that they were already steamed. She used a shovel to cover the fire in the stove.
Li Xiangyang came out of the room, Lin Lan gave him the key and asked him to lock the door and put away the money. She and Xu Xiaobo pushed the bicycle out together.
Wu Shuhui, mother and son, each had their own thoughts, and followed Lin Lan out of the courtyard. They listened to the cheerful shouts of wealth in the courtyard, and after a while Li Xiangyang came out and closed the courtyard door.
He took the bicycle from Lin Lan and said, "You sit in the back and I'll ride."
Lin Lan nodded and said to Xu Xiaobo: "Xiaobo, follow us."
Wu Shuhui touched the brand new bicycle and thought about how soon her family could afford such a bicycle.
Xu Xiaobo nodded, and after Wu Huihui got in the car, he stepped on the car and looked back, then he took Wu Shuhui and followed Li Xiangyang's car with peace of mind.
Not long after the four people left, two young men carrying bamboo poles on their backs walked under the wall of Lin Lan's courtyard. They followed the wall to the courtyard door. Wangcai suddenly threw himself at the courtyard door, barking loudly.
The two of them were frightened by Wangcai's loud cry. They took a few steps forward and looked left and right. The man in the back took out a greasy paper bag from his bag and threw it into the yard.
Wangcai rushed forward and sniffed, then retreated to the far door and stared at the door: Master, someone wants to eat my dog meat again.
Lin and Lan arrived at the Chengnan cake shop and saw Qiao Hui and Tong Xinglan busy loading cakes for customers.
Lin Lan got off the car and said to Li Xiangyang: "Do you want to go to the meat stall?"
Li Xiangyang nodded and glanced at Xu Xiaobo, who was catching up on a bicycle: "I'll go back and take a look first. After going to Limin Road to take a look, I'll go to Brother Yong and Brother Shui Qing when I have time. I don't have to go to my dad's place at noon.
Have a meal."
Lin Lan said: "Okay, you ask Zhigang to come over for lunch."
Panting, Xu Xiaobo rushed over with Wu Shuhui: "My cousin-in-law is riding too fast, and I can't even catch up."
Li Xiangyang smiled and said: "I will take you to exercise in the future."
Xu Xiaobo didn't even have the courage to respond.
Wu Shufen got out of the car and looked at the pastry shop in surprise: "Xiaolan, is this your shop?"
Qiao Hui and Tong Xinglan also saw a few people outside the store, greeted them with a smile and continued busy loading the cakes.
"Well!" Lin Lan took mother and son into the operating room at the back and said to Wu Shufen, "Mom, the second aunt is here."
Wu Shufen was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward with a smile: "I thought you really broke off our relationship with me!"
Wu Shuhui forced a smile and said: "It's because we don't talk nicely, second sister, don't argue with me."
Wu Shufen said with a smile on her face: "We are all sisters, let's forget about it." She politely took Wu Shufen to the lounge to sit and talk.
Lin Lan washed her hands and said to Xu Xiaobo, who was standing in the yard with his eyes rolling around: "If you want to learn how to make cakes, you must first knead the dough. I will prepare the ingredients and you will knead the dough."
Lin Yuezhen glanced at Lin Lan and said nothing.
Xu Xiaobo was stunned for a moment: "Okay cousin." He didn't expect that Lin Lan was not polite at all and just let him work when he came.
Lin Lan mixed the ingredients and began to teach Xu Xiaobo how to knead the dough.
Xu Xiaobo had never done such a job before. He got flour all over his hands, and soon his nose and hair were covered with flour.
Lin Lan smiled and praised: "Xiaobo is a smart person at first glance, and he can learn a lot! We girls are weak, so it's great that you are here. From now on, I will leave all the dough kneading work to you."
"Xiaobo, don't think that kneading dough is a simple task. Let me tell you, the first step in learning to make cakes is to learn to knead the dough. Only when the dough is kneaded can the cakes be delicious. Xinglan kneaded them for half a month.
I just got started with noodles.”
"I know, cousin, I know you're doing it for my own good." Xu Xiaobo responded politely, but secretly cursed in his heart: Damn it, I'll get the thing and play with it for two days and then leave.
Lin Yuezhen glanced at Lin Lan and then at the noodle mixer. She thought that since Xinglan learned how to knead dough, they had used the noodle mixer to knead dough as long as there was no power outage. She couldn't understand why Lin Lan said this.
Wu Shuhui heard Lin Lan praising Xu Xiaobo in the lounge and laughed happily: "Second sister, Xiaobo has a smart mind and learns things quickly. When he learns from Xiaolan, he will go back to Dashiqiao to open a pastry shop."
Wu Shufen glanced at Xu Xiaobo and nodded with a smile: "As long as he studies hard and goes out to open a shop after he graduates, no matter what he does, it will be better than going back to dig in the dirt."
Xu Xiaobo was panting from exhaustion before he kneaded the dough as Lin Lan asked. He was about to tell her that he was going out for a while, but before he could say anything,
Lin Lan brought over a large wooden basin, looked at him with a smile and said, "Xiao Bo, please do as I taught you just now and knead the basin again."
Xu Xiaobo's face darkened, he forced a smile and nodded: "Okay, cousin."
Lin Lan took one look at Xu Xiaobo's miserable expression, cut off a piece of dough with a knife, covered the remaining dough with a white cloth, and started frying saqima with Lin Yuezhen.
Over there, Li Xiangyang had returned to Lexing. Wangcai opened the courtyard door and circled around his feet wagging his tail.
Li Xiangyang searched around and found a piece of braised pork wrapped in brown paper in the vegetable field. He picked a piece of green vegetable leaf, wrapped it and put it in the back of a folder hanging behind the car seat.
He went back and rubbed Wangcai's head: "Good boy, I'll get you some meat and bones."
Wangcai barked twice, wagging his tail and followed him to the kitchen.
Li Xiangyang took out a meat bone from the cupboard and took it to sit on a bamboo chair under the eaves. After giving the bone to Wangcai, he patted its head and said, "Be a good housekeeper and don't eat the meat given by others.
Otherwise, people will make you eat dog meat."
Wangcai pressed the meat bones with his two paws, raised his head and yelled dissatisfiedly at Li Xiangyang: Dog meat cannot be eaten.
Li Xiangyang looked at Wangcai for a while, then remembered something, got up and closed the kitchen door, pushed his bicycle out, closed the courtyard door, and headed to the Public Security Bureau.
