Li Guizhi thought of what Lin Lan was selling and suddenly thought of the beans at home. She hesitated and said, "Lin Lan, I want to tell you something. If it's convenient for you, just agree. If it's not convenient, forget it."
Seeing her blushing and embarrassed look, Lin Lan felt that she and Zhang Yazhen were not the same person, so she smiled and said, "Come and listen!"
Li Guizhi put the quilt in the basin and looked at Lin Lan with a blushing face: "I won't hide it from you. I went to the eucalyptus forest to change eggs several times and saw you changing fried beans there. I still have a basket of beans at home.
, I’d like to exchange it for you if you want it.”
Lin Lan noticed that she used the words "exchange" and nodded cheerfully: "As long as it is not rotten or has insect eyes, I will exchange it for a pound."
Li Guizhi didn't expect Lin Lan to be so cheerful, and nodded happily: "I will go back and pick out the rotten ones with insect eyes, and then bring them to you."
Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "Okay, just bring it over."
Li Guizhi smiled gratefully and said: "Thank you Lin Lan. To be honest, I got a lot more money in exchange for it. One pound is three cents more than the cooperative."
Lin Lan smiled and said, "Why are the two neighbors so polite? I want beans and peas, so I'll just bring them to you."
Li Guizhi looked at Lin Lan with admiration: "To be honest, I admire you very much. You used to do nothing, but now you get up before dawn every day, go to work, and set up a stall, and you spend your days alone.
Get over it."
Lin Lan smiled bitterly: "There is no way! I still have Xiaodouzi. If I still do nothing like before, we two will not even be able to eat red potato porridge. What if I get sick again? Oh!"
Li Guizhi thought about it and said, "Yes! Let's talk about how many work points we women can earn in a year. The food we get all year round plus red potatoes and potatoes may not even be able to fill our stomachs. What if the child has a cold?
, I don’t even have money for medical treatment.” He then smiled and said, “You are right to go into small business. I don’t know how to do it, so I will do it.”
Lin Lan smiled self-deprecatingly: "I thought so too, so I forced myself to do it. I don't want to run around exhausted if there is even a little way."
The two of them were talking without stopping. Lin Lan washed a few pieces of clothes in a short time, picked up the basin and said with a smile: "Sister Li, I'm going back first."
"Okay." Li Guizhi looked up with a smile and saw Zhang Yazhen hurried back with a basin. She glanced at Lin Lan and whispered: "Yazhen is a very petty person. Seeing us here, she must
Thought we were gossiping about her."
Lin Lan turned to look at Zhang Yazhen: "If you don't do anything wrong, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. If you do it, don't be afraid of people telling you." After saying that, he took the pot and went to the tractor path.
Zhang Yazhen may have heard Lin Lan's words and walked faster.
Li Guizhi thought of what Zhang Yazhen said and felt that Lin Lan was right, so she squatted down and continued to wash.
Lin Lan had just finished drying her clothes when she got home, when Xiaodouzi came out of the room: "Mom, I need to pee."
"Go ahead! Pee and play with the chicks."
"Yeah!" Little Douding covered his crotch and ran towards the pig pen.
Lin Lan smiled and went into the house, fished out the eggs, fried the rapeseed, mixed it with a plate of pickled radish, and the little beans came back.
"Mom, the chick went to the forest with the big hen."
"Hey! My son is so capable!" Lin Lan looked at his son who was much more lively with a smile, and poured two ladles of hot water from the pot into the basin: "Wash your face and hands, and eat."
Lin Lan took a washcloth and washed his face. Xiaodouzi squatted in front of the basin and washed his hands. She went in and scooped the porridge into the bowl and took two pea cakes and put them on the plate.
I sat down at the table, cracked the eggs and rubbed them on the table, then Xiaodouzi came in.
Lin Lan pointed to the pea cake: "Mom made the cake yesterday. Eat it after eating the rice and eggs."
"Yeah!" Xiaodouzi poked it with his hand, "Mom's new cakes look great."
Lin Lan smiled and gave him the egg: "Little oily mouth!"
Xiaodouzi took a big mouthful, picked up the spoon and started eating.
After the mother and son had finished eating, Zhou Xiaohong came over and rubbed Xiaodouzi's head with a smile: "Lin Lan, I didn't even remember to ask you until I got home, what is the new variety you mentioned?"
Xiaodouzi raised his head: "Aunt Zhou, mom made some beautiful cakes!"
Lin Lan smiled and raised the basket to the eaves: "Boss Zhou, let's see if you are satisfied with it!"
Zhou Xiaohong looked at the delicate and light yellow pea cake in the basket, and her eyes widened in surprise: "How beautiful it is! Lin Lan, your hands are so clever!"
Lin Lan smiled proudly and said: "Lin Lan's products must be high-quality!" He handed over the plate with a smile and said, "Try it!"
Zhou Xiaohong picked up the pea cake and took a bite. After eating, she nodded repeatedly: "It's delicious, it's delicious! It's really delicious!"
Seeing her satisfied look, Lin Lan was also very happy: "As long as you are satisfied, remember to bring the basket in the afternoon." Then he went into the room and gave her the orchid beans and kidney bean rolls.
Zhou Xiaohong happily gave the money and said to Lin Lan: "I'm going to leave first. I'll buy two baskets and send them over in the afternoon to use them interchangeably."
Lin Lan nodded: "Okay, I also brought some dried mushrooms back. Come over in the afternoon and you can take some back to make soup."
Zhou Xiaohong smiled and said: "Okay! I just happened to buy a chicken to stew for the children on Sunday."
Lin Lan watched her go, went back to the house, picked up a dozen pea cakes, put them into a porcelain vat, and led Xiaodouzi to the old lady's house with a bamboo basket on her back.
The old lady opened the back door and was waiting for the mother and son. She came over and took Xiaodouzi: "You go cut the grass first, and when I feed the pigs, I will send you the chickens and goslings."
"Hey!" Lin Lan handed over the enamel vat, "I made some pea cakes, you can try them."
“The grandma’s cake is delicious.”
"Okay!" The old lady nodded with a smile, opened the lid and took a look: "It looks delicious. The stall owner is good at keeping one variety, and he is also keeping ten. If you add another variety, you can make more money."
Lin Lan smiled and said: "What you said is that I want to work hard to make money and try to pay back the money I owe everyone this time."
The old lady looked at her with relief: "Don't worry, you can use it first if you find it useful."
Lin Lan nodded, glanced at Xiaodouzi, turned around and walked towards Niubei Mountain.
When she came back from work, Li Guizhi and her man came carrying baskets.
Lin Lan took out the rod and weighed it, divided the beans in the basket into several parts and weighed them, a total of one hundred and fifteen kilograms: "Sister Li, the total is thirteen and eight yuan, are you right?"
Li Guizhi nodded happily: "That's right! Thank you Harinlan!"
Lin Lan smiled and said: "You're welcome, we are two neighbors and should take care of each other." Then he counted the money and handed it to her.
Li Guizhi took the money and nodded repeatedly: "You are right. As the old saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. We should take care of each other."
"That's the truth!"
The two chatted for a while, and Li Guizhi happily took the money and left.
Yang Liying came again: "Lin Lan, Dehai should be arriving soon!"
Lin Lan smiled and said: "It should be here soon, come in and sit for a while and try the new variety I just made."
