Lin Lan looked at the two of them with a smile: "I was unlucky today. I met the joint defense team and the bag was confiscated by them. The good thing is that they only fined a few yuan and did not confiscate the money for the sale."
The old lady nodded: "If you lose your money, you will be safe. The fine is a trivial matter. I will go back and find a urea bag for you later."
"Yes!" Lin Lan nodded with a smile: "Uncle, do you have alkaline noodles at home?"
"Yes, I will get it for you later." The old lady said with a smile.
The three of them had dinner, and the old lady took Xiaodouzi home to get urea bags and alkaline noodles.
Lin Lan scooped up some leftover rice and poured some leftover soup into it, and poured it into the rhubarb dog bowl. Then she scooped up some finely chopped ramie leaves, mixed them with the rice bran, and poured it into the chicken bowl.
I went to the backyard, opened the small door, and called to the chickens in the bamboo forest, coo, coo, coo. When the chickens heard the call, they spread their legs and ran back to the yard.
Lin Lan looked at the chickens scrambling for food around the chicken bowl, counted them, and found that there were more than fifteen, before going back to close the backyard door and start feeding the pigs.
The water had already been boiled. She scooped up the chaff and the leaves and crushed them into pieces before carrying them into the pig pen. The two piglets howled and squeezed to the trough.
Xiaodouzi imitated the tone of an adult and reprimanded: "Remember, you will have food if you obey. If you don't, you will be kicked out and become a beggar."
The next day, Lin Lan got up at dawn, covered Xiaodouzi with a quilt, found a piece of white cloth from the cabinet, put it into the basin of dirty clothes, took it to the ditch, washed it and returned.
Let the house dry up and start cooking pig food.
Xiaodouzi carried it to the doghouse in the corner under the eaves of the corridor and stroked Dahuang's head: "Dahuang, sleep well in the kennel and remember to look after the house."
Xiaodouzi nodded happily: "It looks good! I'll keep it for the New Year."
"Woof woof!" Dahuang looked at him and kept wagging his tail.
After closing the courtyard door and getting ready to go into the house to wash up and sleep, Da Huang followed the two of them, wagging his tail and running back and forth.
Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "Okay, please trouble his uncle."
When the old lady saw that the mother and son were about to take her home, she waved her hand and said, "Go back! You have been tired for a long day, so pack up and go to bed early."
"Once upon a time, there was a little monkey. One day, it went down the mountain to a cornfield. When it saw the corns in the field were so big and abundant, it was very happy, so it broke off one and carried it forward..."
Feeding the pigs, cleaning the pigsty, letting the chickens out to feed the chickens, then rushing outside to the bamboo forest, closing the backyard door and returning to the kitchen to cook, I was so busy early in the morning that my feet didn't even touch the floor.
He doesn't like brushing his teeth. The bubbles are so sweet, but his mother won't allow him to swallow them, saying he won't grow taller if he swallows them. What a pity if he vomits them up!
Lin Lan smiled and kissed him: "You see, mom also needs to brush her teeth. If she doesn't, her teeth will be eaten by bugs."
Watching the old lady walking across the stone bridge, the mother and son returned to the yard and saw Rhubarb whining and eating in front of the dog bowl.
"Hey!" Lin Lan nodded.
The two little pigs have visibly grown flesh and round bellies.
Lin Lan glanced at him with a smile and kissed him: "Ouch! The baby has a set of small steel teeth."
Xiaodouzi followed into the house and frowned: "Mom, you didn't ask me to brush my teeth before!"
"Xiaomi Ya, let's brush our teeth."
Lin Lan waited for the two little pigs to finish eating, then poured two buckets of water for them before leaving the pigsty.
After the mother and son had eaten, Lin Liao cleaned the stove, poured the swollen red beans into a dishpan, rinsed them, poured them into the pot, and prepared to make red bean paste.
"Okay!" Xiaodouzi hugged Lin Lan's arm and leaned against her.
Lin Lan said softly: "Mom is telling you this story just to tell you that children can't be like little monkeys who throw away the same thing every time and end up with nothing. They have to be down-to-earth and take care of everything.
Do it well.”
Lin Lan walked to the door with a wash handkerchief and smiled at him: "Baby, come back and brush your teeth, wash your face and feet."
Lin Lan looked at the child with red lips and white teeth, and kissed him: "You look good!"
This kind of white-haired pig is the offspring of a new breed of Landrace pig that Lin Guoliang bought at the agricultural and animal husbandry station. It grows quickly and is ready for slaughter, but the meat is not as tender as the local black pig.
What a clever little guy, you can still do it like this!
"Well! Mom used to be a little monkey." Xiaodouzi concluded.
The old lady sent her a bag of urea and a small bag of alkali, and said to her: "Dingbang will bring Dandan back tomorrow. When I left last time, I said I would take them to watch a movie. I don't have to pick up the beans at noon."
"Don't squeeze!" Lin Lan scolded and used bamboo pieces to drive them away and poured the pig food into the pig trough. The two piglets crowded in front of the trough and started eating.
As soon as the loudspeaker sounded, Lin Lan called Xiaodouzi up, thinking that he was going to watch a movie, and put him into new clothes.
"Mom, look if there are any bugs in my teeth." Xiaodouzi looked at Lin Lan with his mouth wide open.
Lin Lan touched his smiling face distressedly: "Wear something nice when watching a movie."
Lin Lan closed the door of the chicken coop to avoid being spoiled by the sharp-mouthed dog at night.
Xiaodouzi's corduroy clothes with red background and black spots: "Mom, Dandan also has them."
Xiaodouzi nodded: "Mom, I'll sweep the floor."
Xiaodouzi waved her little hand: "Grandma, please slow down."
"Go!" Lin Lan washed the urea bag, dried it on the bamboo pole, and swept the yard with a big broom.
"Yeah!" Xiaodouzi nodded and went to the kitchen.
The chickens are full and don’t need to be chased. They have gone back to the chicken coop in the corner of the pig pen and are lying down. Chickens, ducks and pigs are actually very smart. After living in the chicken coop and pig pen for two days, the piglets know how to poop in the manure trough of the pig pen.
After peeing, the chicks will return to their nests on their own.
The old lady nodded: "I know."
Xiaodouzi touched his teeth and smiled proudly: "My grandma said mine are millet teeth and they will look good when they grow up!"
Lin Lan thought for a moment: "Mom told a story about a little monkey carrying corn."
"Mom, the little monkey is so stupid! Go home and carry a bamboo basket, break the corns home first, and then go pick peaches and watermelons!"
Lin Lan looked at her son: "Xiaodouzi, you are at home. Mom went to the ditch to wash the bag."
As soon as she lay on the bed, Xiaodouzi pestered her and told her a story.
The mother and son each held a bowl and squatted by the pool in the backyard and began to wash. After washing, Lin Lan soaked the peas, large white beans, and red beans, and then took Xiaodouzi into the house and closed the inner door.
Lin Lan felt like she was shooting herself in the foot: "Mom knew something was wrong and she changed it! If she changed it, she would be a good child and a good mother." Her answer was a long breath.
She scooped a few ladles of water into the pot, put the lid on it, put some firewood in the stove, lit the fire and let the red beans simmer slowly in the pot. When she came back from work, the red beans were boiled and raked.
Before leaving, clean the front of the stove so that no straw is left behind to prevent the fire from falling out and causing a fire.
After packing up, I carried the bamboo pole on my back and led Xiaodouzi to the old lady's house. After crossing the bridge, I saw the old lady standing at the back door with them.
"Grandma, I'm here." Xiaodouzi waved and ran over.
