Xu Erlong took Huang Xiaogang's brother and sister home.
On the way, Xu Erlong picked two more large watermelons and bought five kilograms of dry noodles.
He was too tired from setting up a street stall, so he planned to cook noodles for dinner.
"Go, freeze these two big watermelons with water, and eat the watermelons after dinner." Xu Erlong handed the watermelons to Huang Xiaogang and asked him to go about his business.
Huang Xiaogang iced watermelon.
Huang Xiaoxia was sitting by the wood stove, preparing to help light the fire.
Xu Erlong plans to make egg tomato noodles.
I went to the private plot of Yu Ping's family next door and picked a few tomatoes and a handful of water spinach.
When the family was divided, he was not assigned land.
And he was eager to separate his family and did not ask for land. Anyway, he did not plan to stay in the countryside for long.
Therefore, now, we can only have some side dishes at Yu Ping’s house.
Crack five eggs into a bowl, use chopsticks to beat the eggs into egg liquid, roast the tomatoes over fire, peel off the skin, and cut into small pieces.
Huang Xiaoxia helped to light up the fire on the wood stove, and when the water in the pot was dry, Xu Erlong scooped out a large spoonful of lard. When the lard melted, he first fried the eggs, then poured in the tomatoes and stir-fried.
The sweet and sour tomato smell fills the kitchen.
Huang Xiaogang brought firewood over, smelled the fried tomatoes, and sniffed. There was so much lard, and the fried tomatoes were so fragrant.
He was extremely lucky that he chose to work with Xu Erlong instead of selling eels to Xu Erlong.
Look at other people in the village. Now that Xu Erlong no longer collects eels, those people have lost an extra income.
But I am different. Although I no longer make eels, I may sell schoolbags with my second brother.
I can also take my sister with me to the Xu family every day, eating and drinking.
Not to mention paying him back his wages every month, even if he was not given any money, he would still be willing to follow Xu Erlong and earn three meals a day.
Otherwise, he and his sister would still be living a life of one hungry meal and one full meal.
Xu Erlong fried the tomatoes and added two large ladles of water.
In the pickle jar, there were also old pickles made by Zhang Jinfang. Xu Erlong grabbed a large handful and threw them into the pot together, boiling water and boiling them.
"Okay, you are in the stove fire, turn it down to a small fire, and go play." Xu Erlong motioned to Huang Xiaoxia not to stay in front of the stove fire anymore.
Huang Xiaoxia sneaked out to play.
Not long after, Zhang Jinfang and her group came home as well, stepping on the afterglow of the setting sun.
Thanks to the good road Xu Erlong opened yesterday, everyone will have a smooth sailing today.
Moreover, the sales volume reached a new high, and all the school bags I brought were sold out.
After all, many children bought schoolbags yesterday and showed them off to their friends.
Invisibly, this is also a kind of publicity. Other children who are about to enter school will start clamoring for new school bags.
Everyone had a look of pride and excitement on their faces.
It's really exciting to watch the bills passing through my hands in a steady stream.
Everyone was discussing it enthusiastically.
"Go and wash your face and hands, and get ready to eat. In the evening, eat egg and tomato noodles." Xu Erlong reminded everyone.
By the time everyone came over to wash away the sweat stains and stains on their faces, bowls of fragrant egg and tomato noodles had already been brought to them.
Everyone was holding bowls, and Huang Xiao just realized that Huang Xiaoxia was not there.
"I don't know where I went to play. Call her back for dinner." Xu Erlong reminded Huang Xiaogang.
Huang Xiaogang stood at the door and shouted outside: "Little sister, little sister..."
After a while, Huang Xiaoxia swayed her little body and ran over from behind a pile of firewood.
"Wash your hands and eat quickly." Huang Xiaogang called her.
Now under Xu Erlong's request, everyone will remember the rule of washing hands before meals and after using the toilet.
Huang Xiaoxia still held a candy in her hand. She put the candy aside before washing her hands.
Everyone met and talked about what they had seen today.
After chatting for a long time, Jin Ya stopped holding the chopsticks in his hand.
What's wrong today?
Oh, it was the second brother who didn't speak and didn't participate in their speeches.
Everyone's eyes followed the line of sight of Golden Teeth.
But he saw Xu Erlong lowering his head to eat noodles, with a smile on his lips.
I didn't tell a joke just now.
What is he snickering about?
"Second brother, what are you laughing at?" Xu Xiaoling asked.
Xu Erlong replied: "I'm not laughing. Okay, okay, let's eat the noodles. They will become lumpy and not delicious after a while."
When he spoke, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised again, and he couldn't suppress his smile no matter what.
"Second brother picked up money today? Are you so happy?" Jin Ya asked.
"No." Xu Erlong deliberately said with a straight face: "Eating, eating without talking, sleeping without talking."
Everyone lowered their heads and encouraged fans seriously.
Huang Xiaoxia pinched the end of her chopsticks and said something astonishing: "Today, a sister as beautiful as a fairy came to buy something."
She couldn't describe a good view, she could only say that she was as beautiful as a fairy.
A fairy-like sister?
Everyone smells gossip.
Huang Xiaoxia even imitated Wen Ye's tone, raised her voice, and said in a cooing voice: "Can your schoolbag be cheaper?"
She only imitated half a dozen points, but Zhang Jinfang could tell something was wrong just from her coquettish tone.
Only a vixen can speak in such an inappropriate manner, right?
Gold Teeth made Yu Ping burst into laughter, looking cunning.
After all, they are similar in age, they are both seventeen or eighteen years old, so it is normal for them to like beautiful women.
Only Zhang Jinfang was worried.
I originally had a partner, but that partner was restless and had already broken off the engagement.
Now, another unscrupulous woman is here to talk. Seeing my son like this, does it mean that his soul has been taken away?
Xu Erlong glared at Huang Xiaoxia, talking too much.
Huang Xiaogang saw something was wrong and immediately pulled Huang Xiaoxia up: "Little sister, you are eating noodles outside."
I don't want to make too many mistakes, just in case Huang Xiaoxia says something unpleasant again.
After finally finishing a bowl of noodles, Xu Erlong took the bowl and walked to the stove.
Zhang Jinfang followed in holding a bowl and secretly looked at Xu Erlong's expression.
She wanted to make sure that the crooked vixen had hooked up with Xu Erlong.
"Mom, what are you looking at behind me?" Xu Erlong asked.
"Nothing. I just want to see if there is any water in the tank," Zhang Jinfang said.
"I already carried the water just now." Xu Erlong replied.
Zhang Jinfang pretended to be busy for a while, but in the end, she couldn't help but said to Xu Erlong: "Erlong, tomorrow I will ask the villagers to help find out who has a suitable girl. Can you go and see each other? Let's arrange the marriage as soon as possible.
Is it settled?"
Marriage is quite early in rural areas. It is normal for a young man to go on a blind date when he is seventeen or eighteen, and to get married in his twenties.
"Mom, please don't worry about this. I don't have this intention and I won't go on a blind date." Xu Erlong replied.
This time, Zhang Jinfang's inner worry deepened.
Could it be that my son is really fascinated by the vixens outside and doesn't even want to go on a blind date?
