Chapter 53 Chapter 54

Chapter 53 54 You have to be tough on yourself

Lin Lan raised her hand and picked a rose on the wall of her house, threw it on the ground and crushed it with her feet. She smiled evilly at her: "Remember, Zhang, it only takes three. If there is a next time, my aunt will let you understand."

, why are the flowers so red!" After that, he walked away.

Zhang Yazhen waited for Lin Lan to leave, took three steps at a time and arrived at the door of the courtyard. She quickly closed the door and leaned against the door panel in a cold sweat.

Lin Lan saw He Cuicui's hurried back when she came out of the Xiong Family Courtyard, and went straight home without even bothering to look at her.

Zhao Dehai and the other two came down from the roof. Master Xu behind them smiled and said, "It won't take more than an afternoon to complete the work."

"Sorry to trouble you." Lin Lan said gratefully.

Zhao Dehai nodded politely: "No trouble, let's go with her aunt."

"Slow down!" Lin Lan politely walked a few steps away.

After the three of them left, Lin Lan picked up some taro and put it in his bag, and picked up some broken tiles in the yard.

Go down to the edge of the ditch, put the bag in the water and shake it vigorously back and forth. The taro and tiles will roll together, and the taro scalp will fall off quickly.

Lin Lan flattened the bucket, letting the taro scalp stuck to the bucket float away with the water, and then cleaned it with a knife.

The three of them stood in the courtyard waiting for her to finish cleaning up, then went to the roof to get busy.

As she spoke, she took out the key from her pocket and handed it to Lin Lan, "Zhao Dehai gave me the key. He went through the roof and cleared the chimney for you."

"Hey! Then I'll go back, Xiaodouzi and eat well."

Also, some of the taros given by Yang Liying have sprouted. She wants to plant another row of taros in the potato ridges, and also wants to spread a circle of small green vegetables on the edge of the rapeseed field. Once the rapeseed and green vegetables are harvested, they can be used to make salt vegetables.

Lin Lan came out of the kitchen and thought of the houses she had rummaged through. They were filled with dust falling from the roofs.

The ramie under the courtyard wall has grown a few leaves, and the courtyard has become more beautiful.

I went to the ditch to fetch a bucket of water and came back. I found a rag and wiped the three main rooms inside and out. I stood in the room and looked around and felt that it was a lot brighter.

The remaining two lumps of Xuewang and a handful of pea tips were used to make Xuewang soup.

"Let's wait until she's done with her work!" Lin Lan went to the woodshed and carried the sickle on his back to the foot of the mountain. He put down the bamboo pole on his back and bent down with the sickle to start cutting.

The old lady nodded: "I'm old. I sleep too much during the day and can't sleep at night. If Douzi wants to sleep, I just take him back. If he's dozing off while sitting there, I'll help you cut beans to kill time."

Lin Lan took it and stood in the courtyard looking at the rummaged roof, smiling with satisfaction: "The third brother-in-law and the two masters worked neatly and meticulously."

The courtyard door was open. When Lin Lan entered, she saw an old lady sitting on a small stool cutting beans. She smiled and stepped forward: "Uncle, you are here!"

Go home and cut the taro into thick slices, add lard to the pan and stir-fry the taro, add water, cover the pot and start simmering the taro rice.

The potatoes, rapeseed, eggplants, sea peppers and side dishes that were planted all came to life. Cowpeas, green beans, cucumbers, winter melons and pumpkins all climbed onto the melon trellises, and the sunflowers placed in the rotten pottery pots beside the courtyard dam also turned green.

germination.

I found a pillow and towel in the cabinet and wrapped it around my head. I held up the bamboo pole and swept down all the dust and cobwebs on the beams, rafters and purlins.

"Got it!" Xiaodouzi shouted loudly, "Mom, remember to give Da Huang a meal."

"To do crafts, you have to be neat and meticulous. Who dares to find a foreign worker who is rough and rough?"

Zhao Dehai nodded: "The tiles are divided into two and a half, and the master pays three yuan a day for food. Just give me another yuan."

I took out my handkerchief and wiped my sweat, then speeded up and cut out the afternoon cow grass and piled it aside. I ran several times in a row, carried the cow grass back and spread it out in the drying field, and returned home carrying the bamboo basket on my back.

Lin Lan knew that Zhao Dehai's help was in vain, so he didn't say much and gave him a dollar. He smiled gratefully and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, third brother-in-law."

Zhao Dehai grinned and showed his white teeth: "We are all relatives. As long as you can help me, just say it." He felt that as long as Lin Lan didn't do anything and didn't go to his family Liying to borrow money, he had plenty of strength and work wouldn't count.

A matter.

After cleaning the dust on the roof, take off the tarpaulin covering the canopy bed and put it in the courtyard. Then go back and tear off the rotten newspapers stuck on the windows.

"Okay, I won't be hungry for rhubarb."

Now she recognized that these vegetable seedlings contained carrots, green onions, cabbage, cabbage, tomatoes, spinach, and carrots.

Lin Lan planned out every corner of the yard in his mind. Only then did he realize that he had arrived at the back door of the old lady's house and saw that the old lady and Xiaodouzi were already sitting at the table eating.

Lin Lan thought that after dealing with the two talkative women today, she was not going to go to the clothing factory to find a stall. She was going to sell out the goods early today and come back early to plant vegetables.

In this era, three tile-roofed houses only cost a few hundred yuan. Relatives and friends who mainly come to help with work will not take your wages. If you want to give them money, they will think that you look down on them and want to break up with them.

.

The old lady nodded happily: "Yes! Come back, we will all eat."

She smiled and said: "Uncle, you all started eating!"

I turned around and went to the woodshed to find a long bamboo pole. I also found a worn-out feather duster and tied it to the bamboo pole, then carried it back to my room.

Lin Lan came back from the old lady's house to have dinner, and Zhao Dehai and the two chefs came. She hurriedly put the food in the cupboard and put the lid on the pot.

Lin Lan said to Zhao Dehai who came down to get the tiles: "Third brother-in-law, I have to go cut the grass. I'm afraid you will have finished the work when I come back. I will give you the wages first, and you can help me give it to the two masters."

At noon, the sun shone brightly on the earth, and the rough edges of the oat grass scratched the back of the hand, leaving traces behind, which were then painfully stained by sweat.

"Then I'm not welcome." Lin Lan smiled cheerfully and gave him the key again: "Please give the key to my uncle later. I'll stop working and go to her house to get it. Also, please let the third sister

Come to my house when you have time, I have something to tell her."

When I went out to the courtyard, I saw that the vegetable seeds sown were ready for transplanting.

After the house was cleaned up, Lin Lan also cleaned the courtyard and the back of the house, then dragged the oilcloth to the ditch and scrubbed it out. When she cleaned everything up, she saw children one after another carrying schoolbags to school.

Zhao Dehai smiled and nodded: "She originally said she would come over this afternoon, but my second aunt came home and asked her away. I will talk to her when she comes back." After that, he climbed up the wooden ladder with his bag in hand.

"That's what you said."

Lin Lan poured water and scrubbed it, then took out a pillow towel and wrapped his hair. He used a bamboo pole to sweep the dust in the kitchen, wiped the stove and cupboards clean, and started to boil red beans and steam white beans.

She put the soaked red beans under the steamer, and put the large white beans in the steamer. The red bean paste was cooked, and the large white beans were steamed and raked, killing two birds with one stone.
