Only then did she understand why Liu Jinbao and his second-rate gangsters came to make trouble, and no one in the two rooms said a word.
As soon as Lin Lan walked into the middle of the mechanized farming road, He Cuicui deliberately said loudly: "Lin Lan, I heard that you are rich now. Please pay us back the money you lent us."
"Okay!" Lin Lan counted four dollars and gave it back to the two of them. He blushed and said, "I'm sorry, I just returned the money to you today."
Li Guizhi, who originally thought it would take a lot of talking, looked at her in surprise, reached out to take the money, and said softly: "Just pay it back."
He Cuicui curled her lips: "If you have money to buy melon seeds, you will have no money to pay back the debt." After that, she pulled Li Guizhi away.
The two went to Zhang Yazhen's house. He Cuicui looked at Zhang Yazhen with a smile: "I was in a hurry just now, and I haven't asked you how you knew Lin Lan was rich?"
Zhang Yazhen walked to the door of the courtyard, took a look, closed the door and came back with a proud look on her face: "Liu San brought people to kick down Yang's door this morning... I heard Yang Dingbang tell the police that he wanted Liu Jinbao to pay for her door. He also said
What Yang Lao Yao owes is gambling debt and it has nothing to do with Lin Lan."
"I saw her leaving with the police, so I stood at the gate of the hospital waiting for her to come back and ask for money. I didn't know she gave it to me so readily."
He Cuicui chuckled: "Yazhen, you're still smart, otherwise you won't be able to get this money back!"
She gathered her hair up and smoothed it with her hands to get ready for work.
Lin Lan looked at the yellowed light bulbs and thought it was better to turn on the electric lights in the suburbs of the city these days. The place where she lived before had electricity only in 1983, and she still remembers everyone's joy on the day when the electricity was turned on.
.
There is a bamboo grove outside the west wall, and the Yang family's private land outside the east wall. The rapeseed grown in the land was planted by the original owner, her mother, and her two brothers two months ago.
"Know!"
"Why do you feel sorry for her?" Zhang Yazhen curled her lips, "She was originally a shallow-sighted, lazy woman, but now she is a widow and she looks so demonic. We want her to be a little bit more like that. You know what I mean!
"
Next to the well, there is a square cement pool, fifty or sixty centimeters high. There is also a strip-shaped grindstone next to the pool. There is a bluestone washboard placed near the wall. A gutter leads directly to the outside of the courtyard.
The room on the right side of the main room was the wedding room of the original owner and Yang Guangming. After Yang Guangming died, the original owner did not dare to live there, so he moved to the room on the left.
The west wing room, next to the main room, is the firewood shed. There is a stone mill in the corner of the door, with firewood and various sundries piled inside.
A long bamboo pole hangs horizontally under the eaves of the corridor, and a three-layer triangular basin stand is placed against the wall, with two wooden basins placed on it.
I picked up a bucket of water and poured half of it into the water tank, picked up the broken bamboo brush handle on the stove, cleaned the water tank, and poured the dirty water into the vegetable patch.
After seeing it, Lin Lan felt that the appearance of the original owner was several times better than his character.
Looking over, there is a double-head earthen stove built against the wall. In front of the stove hangs a ceramic kettle that burns black and red. The flames come out of the stove mouth and at the same time boil the water in the kettle. Daily hot water depends on the stove.
it.
There is a half-acre vegetable field on the left side of the courtyard, and there is a small wooden door on the wall of the backyard. Some green onions, coriander and rugosa are planted in the vegetable field. There is a bamboo forest outside the fence, and you can see the house behind it through the bamboo forest.
's roof.
There were two old towels hanging on the basin stand, and there was a small square mirror above the soap dish.
After the water is hot, pick up the loofah pulp, wash the bowls, chopsticks, pottery bowls, pot lids, and chopsticks, put them in a porcelain basin, and put them in the pool outside.
Li Guizhi smiled: "Actually, Lin Lan is quite pitiful. She originally thought she was married to the edge of the city, but she didn't know that Yang Laoyao is just a poor second-rate gambler."
Lin Lan leaned closer to the small square mirror and saw her current appearance, with an oval face, red phoenix eyes, a straight nose, a slightly big mouth, a slightly thick lips, and long black hair that was messy on her head.

Lin Lan stood in the courtyard and looked at her current home. The courtyard faced south and was spacious. An adobe wall surrounded the house in the middle, and there was a vegetable patch that was more than one minute in size.
The two of them understood each other, smiled and thanked Zhang Yazhen and went home.
The main room has double doors. The one in the east wing next to the main room is the kitchen room, and there are two rooms that were used by Yang Guangming's three sisters before they were married.
The cupboard hadn't been scrubbed for an unknown amount of time. There was a thick layer of black dust inside, and a handful of soap locust was found on the top of the cupboard.
He Cuicui glanced at her: "Will Yang Dingbang pay it back for her?"
Zhang Yazhen winked and said, "I'm a high-ranking criminal policeman with a lot of money. How can I catch my eye?"
Lin Lan then went to the stove, took out a box of matches from the stove hole, lit a handful of straw, and started boiling water to wash the dishes.
He Cuicui nodded: "That's true."
Lin Lan looked around and felt that the layout was somewhat similar to her childhood home, and the accent spoken here was similar to her accent in her previous life, but the place names were all different.
Pushing open the kitchen door, I saw a small square table and a few small bamboo chairs. I turned around and saw a small door at the back and a light bulb hanging on the beam.
The house looks a bit old. The three main rooms have brick walls covered with tiles, and the three east and west wing rooms each have earthen walls and roofs covered with wheat straw.
It took two changes of water to clean the water tank, and it took seven or eight buckets of water to fill it up.
She looked at the yard and thought: In the past, it was even harder than this and she was able to live a prosperous life. If she could do it over again, her life would be more prosperous!
I went back and grabbed a handful of plant ash in the pot, and used a brush handle and loofah pulp to scrub the things on the stove and the cupboards.
Next to the cupboard, there was a large water tank near the back door, covered with a bamboo lid. Lin Lan opened it and saw that there was only a little turbid water at the bottom of the tank.
There are two other rooms that are pigsties. There is a square chicken cage made of moso bamboo in the corner. The toilet is also in the pigsty house. A trough is dug directly into the cesspit below. The cesspool is dug behind the west wing.
Zhang Yazhen smiled proudly and whispered in He Cuicui's ear: "I'm going to have a fight with her and ask Yang Dingbang to help pay back the money."
There were messy piles of firewood in front of the stove, and green onion leaves, vegetable roots, and sweet potato peels were scattered on the ground. There were two iron pots on the stove, with dirty dishes and chopsticks in the outer pot, and half a pot of water in the inner pot.
The next day at school, the teacher also created a riddle for everyone to guess: There is a vine in the house, and a melon grows on the vine. When the sun sets, red flowers bloom in the melon.
The cement-coated stove had not been washed for an unknown period of time, and was dark and dirty. There was a large pottery bowl placed against the wall, with a dirty dustpan placed on top of the pottery bowl, and two more hanging on the wall.
.
She unlatched the door latch and opened the back door, and saw that there was a small courtyard behind. There was a well on the right side of the courtyard, and the well was covered with a round stone cover.
Lin Lan was a determined person. He made up his mind, looked back at the dirty kitchen, rolled up his sleeves and got busy.
There is a heavy wooden cupboard with mottled colors placed against the wall behind the stove. It seems to be old at first glance, but it is still very solid.
Lin Lan took out the bowls, plates, basins, jars, and soy sauce and vinegar bottles in the cupboard and cleaned them.
I found a jar of lard and some seasonings in a small jar. In my memory, these were left over from a funeral.
While scrubbing the cupboard, I discovered several large, medium and small jars and a ceramic oil jar placed in the corner.
There are five or six kilograms of rapeseed oil in the oil jar, which was sent by the original owner’s family after Yang Guangming’s death.
