Lin Lan glared at him and asked them to sit down for a while. She went to cook noodle soup for them to eat, and asked Yang Liying and his wife to stay and eat together.
Yang Liying shook her head: "No, Xiaoyun Xiaoli is still at home waiting for me and her father to go back for dinner." After that, she hurriedly carried the basket and walked out.
Brothers Zhao Dehai and Lin Guoliang looked at each other, nodded and followed.
Lin Guoqiang followed Lin Lan to the kitchen: "Sister, where is Xiaodouzi? Did you buy another chick?"
"The beans are at his uncle's house, and the chicks are also bought from his uncle's house."
Lin Lan took out the bag of Fuqiang powder and poured a ladle into the pot. After thinking about it, he ladled two more ladles into the pottery bowl, soaked some mushrooms, and prepared to buy pork belly buns to eat in the afternoon.
The dough was kneaded very quickly in the big pot. Brother Lin Guoliang saw that he could not help, so he went to the woodshed to get a hoe and went to weed the vegetable field.
Lin Lan washed a few vegetable greens, cut some sour radish leaves, fried two eggs, rolled out the dough, cooked it, scooped out three bowls of dough and brought it to the table.
When he walked out of the kitchen door, he saw the two brothers hoeing weeds. He smiled and said, "Brother, Guoqiang, sister Yuezhen, come in and eat noodles."
Lin Yuezhen followed Lin Lan into the kitchen. She looked at the white-flour eggs in the bowl and burst into tears when she thought that her biological brother despised her and that her cousin's family had run for her because of their past friendship.
Lin Lan's heart softened when he saw her, and he raised his hand and patted her shoulder: "Sister Yuezhen, eat first, and take good care of yourself after eating. I'm still waiting for you to help me!"
Lin Yuezhen looked at her and nodded, wiped away her tears and sat down, picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
Brother Lin Guoliang put down his hoe and washed his hands and went into the house. When he saw the white noodles in the bowl, Lin Guoliang looked at her disapprovingly: "Xiaolan, why did you buy such good noodles?"
Lin Lan knew that they were reluctant to eat good flour, so she said with a smile: "Brother, it was sent by my uncle. I heard that it was distributed by his uncle's work unit."
"Oh!" Lin Guoliang felt relieved after hearing this and warned: "Don't spend the money you earn. Xiaodouzi is studying. In the future, you will have to build a house when you want a wife. Everything will cost money."
"knew!"
Lin Guoqiang said with envy: "It's great to eat public food and also be given such good white flour."
Lin Guoliang said with a smile: "Uncle Douzi Yao also joined the army and changed his career. When you arrive in the army at the end of the year, work hard, perform more meritorious service and strive to be promoted back. From now on, you will become a member of the public."
"I know, brother." Lin Guoqiang picked up his chopsticks and took a bite and found that it tasted pretty good. He turned to look at Lin Lan, "Sister, when did you learn to make noodle soup? When you made it, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to eat it.
, I didn’t expect the spicy and sour taste to be pretty good.
Lin Lan, who was making dough, looked up at him: "Of course! After eating my mother's food for more than ten years, I can even read it!"
Lin Guoqiang nodded: "I understand, the food you cook at home tastes so bad, it's just because you're lazy and on purpose!"
Lin Lan rolled her eyes at him: "Gua Wa Zi, have you ever said that about your sister?"
Lin Guoliang smiled and added: "I think so!"
"Hahaha..." The brothers burst out laughing before they finished speaking.
Yuezhen looked at the siblings with envy, feeling that their relationship was really good.
Lin Lan thought about it and said to him: "Guoqiang, when you go to the army, you must not only perform meritorious service and strive for promotion, but also learn education well. Only when you change jobs can you find a way out. If you come back without education, you can only return to the army and work in farming."
She remembered that during the opening years, demobilized soldiers were assigned jobs as long as they were educated. Those demobilized soldiers who had improved their education were given pretty good jobs when they came back.
Lin Guoqiang nodded: "Don't worry! Third brother sent the books back, and I'm reading them." Like Lin Lan, he encountered those years when he was in junior high school, and there were no serious classes in school, which delayed his studies.
Lin Lan gave him a thumbs up: "Yes, a man should pursue something."
Lin Guoqiang puffed up his chest and said to Lin Lan and Yuezhen: "Don't worry, I will work hard and support you in the future so that others will not dare to bully you."
"Okay, sister, I'll be waiting."
Yuezhen also nodded with red eyes.
Lin Lan mixed the noodles, poured some hot water into the pot, put the pottery bowl on it, and smiled at the people: "Let's make buns for dinner tonight."
Lin Guoliang smiled and nodded: "Okay, steam a few more and I will take them back to my parents."
Lin Lan nodded: "Steam it before you leave!"
"We still have to do something for the team. If we are quick, we will go back tomorrow. If not, we will delay our departure for two days." Lin Guoliang said.
Lin Lan nodded, went into the house, picked up the quilt, and went to the east wing to make the bed.
Lin Guoqiang drank all the noodle soup in the bowl, stretched out his legs and slumped on the stool: "Ouch! I'm so full!"
Lin Yuezhen looked at him and laughed, gesturing that she was full too, snatching the bowl from Lin Guoqiang's hand and washing it.
Lin Lan made the bed and came over and said to her: "Sister Yuezhen, go to the room and rest for a while."
Lin Yuezhen shook her head and gestured to help Lin Lan with something.
"Okay, then help me cut the beans."
Lin Lan took out the bucket with the beans soaked in and poured it into a large wooden basin, and taught Lin Yuezhen how to cut the beans.
Lin Yuezhen got started quickly and worked neatly.
Seeing that she was getting started, Lin Lan poured the peas into the basin, fished out the excess pea skins, poured them into the basket and went to the ditch to rinse the bean skins.
When I came back, I steamed red beans and large white beans in a pot and went to the courtyard. I moved the chickens covered in bamboo baskets to a cool place, picked two lettuce leaves and a handful of green ramie leaves for the chickens, and went out to the old lady's house.
Go.
Xiaodouzi was playing with a child at the back door. When he saw Lin Lan throwing away the mud in his hand, he ran over happily: "Mom, you are here!"
Lin Lan patted the mud off his body and said, "Well! Uncle and uncle are here. Mom will take you back."
The old lady came out of the kitchen: "Is his uncle here?"
"Here we come!" Lin Lan walked over with a smile and told her about Lin Yuezhen.
The old lady sighed and said, "Oh! How pitiful! Your parents are doing good things and helping you to accumulate virtue!"
Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "I'll make some steamed buns for the evening. You can bring Dandan with you."
"Okay!" The old lady nodded happily, "Xiaodouzi hasn't taken a nap yet. Remember to let him sleep when you get back!"
"knew!"
When the mother and son returned home, Xiaodouzi saw two uncles weeding in the field and ran over happily.
The three nephews and uncle made out for a while, and Xiaodouzi went to take a nap when he was tired from playing.
Lin Guoliang went to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo again and helped Lin Lan make brush handles and weave dustpans.
Lin Guoqiang didn't know how, so he helped strengthen the fences blocking the bamboo forest and rapeseed fields.
Seeing those rapeseeds that had already grown buds but were cut off at the waist, I yelled at the top of my lungs: "Which unscrupulous guy who wants to give birth to a son without a butthole dares to ruin the crops? If I catch you, I will chop off your claws!"
"You blind bitch, don't think that my sister is easy to bully by herself. I'm telling you today. If anyone dares to bully my sister or my nephew in the future, I and my brothers will come and tear your bones apart."
"Come out! You bastard, if you have the guts to do such an immoral thing, you don't have the guts to admit it, right?"
Xiong Weicheng, who was rolling hoops in the yard next door, was so frightened that he ran into the kitchen: "Mom, Mom, Vixen's family knows that I beat her rapeseed."
