Chapter 43 44 Don’t be too picky, you’re just too picky.
Li Xiangyang put down his jacket: "As you know, if the old man steps down, I will be responsible for the pig farms and slaughterhouses. This year, the pig farms are open, but you have to sell meat like a thief, and you have to sleep with your eyes open.
one eye."
"I know, Dingbang said there will be a good day." The old lady looked at him lovingly, "When you are not busy anymore, Dingbang will go home and call Dongzi over. Grandma will cook some side dishes. What do you think?
say."
Li Xiangyang responded cheerfully: "Okay, someday I'll call Dongzi and come together to meet in Dingbang."
He, Xu Dong, and Yang Dingbang have been together since they wore crotchless pants. The three of them are brothers who have become brothers.
Yang Dingbang is the eldest, Xu Dong is the second, and he is the third. One of them is the captain of the joint defense team. The other is a detective, and he is a butcher who kills pigs.
What moved him was that no matter when, the two of them treated him and his old man the same as before.
The old lady poured a jar of tea and put it on the table. She looked at him and smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth: "I haven't seen Dongzi for several years. How many children does he have? Is he still in the joint defense team?"
Li Xiangyang took a sip from the enamel jar and found that there was honey in it: "We are still in the joint defense team. We have a son and a daughter. The eldest is five years old and the youngest is three this year. My wife works at the police station. She is quite happy."
"Alas!" The old lady sighed: "You and Dingbang are still not stable. It's time for you to find a woman. Don't be too picky. Just be more or less the best. You're afraid that you'll choose the wrong one out of thousands of choices.
"
"No! If I don't eat the rice at home, I will grow cattle." The old lady turned and left.
"Lin Lan, it's time to put the kitchen on your back. I'm going back."
Lin Lan knew that she was afraid of eating her rations and adding to her burden, so he hurriedly came out of the rapeseed field and grabbed her, smiling and saying: "Uncle, how about this? You eat dinner here and beans at your place for lunch. That's all right."
Come on!"
Xiaodouzi stopped playing with ants and ran over and pulled the old lady towards the yard.
The three generations returned to the kitchen. Lin Lan washed her hands. There were pea tips in the basket, lettuce slices on the plate, and shredded radish. They were already ready.
The old lady waved her hand: "You don't need to send me there. The police station is not far from the police station. I will go there alone."
Li Xiangyang patted the old lady's hand: "Grandma, selling things is easy. Don't worry, I've been here for the past two months, and I helped her sell the things when they were delivered."
The old lady went to Lin Lan's house with her wallet in hand, and Xiaodouzi told her that her mother was pulling grass in her private plot.
The old lady took a bite of the cold shredded radish and nodded with a smile: "It tastes good. It's best to use this with porridge."
The old lady looked at her angrily: "Aren't you afraid that the old lady will finish your rations?"
The old lady looked at him gratefully: "Grandma, thank you! Just sit down for a while and have a meal with me!"
Lin Lan looked at her with a smile: "Afraid, I'm scared to death."
"I plan to wait for another two years. I haven't chosen one by then, so you will always use your sharp eyes to help me choose one." Li Xiangyang looked at her with a playful smile.
Li Xiangyang lifted Lin Lan's backpack to the old lady: "Grandma, everything is sold out. Just ask Lin Lan to deliver it directly tomorrow."
The old lady didn't stay much: "Okay, I won't keep you either. You two will make an appointment on your own. Come over as soon as you make an appointment."
The old lady frowned: "If you're not angry, I'll be full of anger a long time ago."
"Okay, grandma, I'll eat at your house." The old lady was so happy that she couldn't help but lead Xiaodouzi back.
"Okay, you don't have to come out, I can walk quickly." After saying this, Li Xiangyang came out of the old lady's house and walked away quickly.
The old lady dragged the backpack aside: "Xiang Yang, I'm sorry to bother you. Lin Lan is a woman raising a child. If she doesn't make some food to earn two bucks, how can she raise a child with just a few work points? I was alone in those years.
Without the help of her parents-in-law, I'm afraid even Dingbang's father wouldn't be able to raise him."
Lin Lan could only nod: "Okay, you go and talk to me carefully, don't be upset."
Xiaodouzi nodded: "Yeah! The bean sprouts fried by grandma are also delicious."
"Okay, you might as well go and ask, so as not to worry you. I'll take you there tomorrow morning."
The old lady nodded cheerfully: "Okay, then I will put on my reading glasses and help you choose one."
Lin Lan said: "My brother brought the red potato and will cook the red potato porridge for dinner tomorrow."
After dinner, Mrs. Lin Lan still looked a little worried and advised her uneasily: "Uncle, don't worry, Dingbang will take care of Dandan's matter."
The world has changed. In the past, women who flirted with others could not even raise their heads in front of others. Now, they still dare to fight for children with shameless faces, angering the old lady and going to Yuncheng to preach to her.
Lin Lan listened to his milking sounds in the pig pen and called the chickens to the yard. She walked outside with the pig food bucket and saw him grabbing chaff and gourd leaves from the sack, mixing them together, and pouring them into the chickens.
In the trough.
She put the backpack in the kitchen and went to the private plot outside the wall. She saw that the rapeseed in the plot was green and had already bolted and sprouted buds.
Lin Lan put some eggs in his bowl: "Lettuce can also be eaten cold. Mom will mix lettuce shreds for you to eat tomorrow."
Xiaodouzi sandwiched lettuce: "Mom, I like to eat lettuce, but I don't like radishes."
The old lady thought for a moment: "I want to go to Dingbang tomorrow to have a look. When I come back, you can send Xiaodouzi over."
She understood that Lin Lan left her to eat because he was afraid that she would be too lonely alone. In fact, she was used to being lonely and was not afraid of being alone at home.
Red and white shredded radish, green coriander and chopped green onion will make your appetite whet your appetite.
Boil pea tips in egg soup and stir-fry lettuce and bring them to the table.
"Gu Gu Gu Gu! Go home!"
The old lady laughed and said, "It tastes light, so we can eat it together, old and young."
Li Xiangyang lifted his back and said, "Forget it this time, the old man is still at home waiting for me to go back for dinner."
"Grandma, mom has cooked delicious egg soup, let's eat together."
The two little pigs are very well-behaved and know how to poop in the manure trough. They only need to use a pig poop rake to push the poop and urine into the manure tank, rinse it with water, and the pig pen will be clean.
Xiaodouzi helped feed the rhubarb and volunteered to go to the bamboo forest to help call the chickens back.
"Uncle," Lin Lan held a handful of grass in her hand and turned to shout: "I have already prepared the food and put it in the pot. You can eat it together here."
Rub the shredded radish with salt water to squeeze out the spiciness, rinse it with cold water, squeeze out the water, a spoonful of red oil chili, a spoonful of red oil, a pinch of coriander, chopped green onion, an appropriate amount of soy sauce, vinegar, and then add some sugar and peppercorns
, mix well and put on a plate.
Seeing Xiaodouzi doing this seriously, Lin Lan felt sour, tears fell involuntarily, and she turned around to wipe away the tears.
Lin Lan washed the pots and dishes, then sent the old lady to the ditch with Xiaodouzi, went back and closed the courtyard door, started feeding the pigs and cleaning the pigsty.
Looking at him with a smile: "Xiaodouzi, did you learn how to feed chickens from your grandma?"
Ever since she came here, she felt that he was very insecure. He was afraid that she would abandon him and run away. Except when she went to work, he would follow her wherever she went and would not go out no matter who asked her.
As a young child, he learned to watch people's words, be able to speak eloquently without speaking, and was very alert. He tried his best to please his mother, lest she abandon him.
The more Lin Lan thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became. Her nose became sore and tears welled up again. She quickly turned her head to wipe away the tears.
