24. The parents return

24

Early the next morning, Xiao Yan got up with a yawn, and yesterday she made cabbage late again, and then before she went to bed, she thought that the points had risen very sharply before, so she couldn't help but go to the space to take a look.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you can find that there is another dish next to the cabbage practice, which is said to be a dish, but in fact, it is also a seasoning, chili pepper. What chili powder, chili sauce and the like, it is almost a hundred ways to make chili peppers, and there are various methods of various chili peppers, which are dazzling.

With something new, Xiao Yan looked at it excitedly for a long time, although the time in the space passed very slowly, but it took some energy for a long time, and it was already very late before going to bed, as if I hadn't slept enough.

When she looked into the east room, the eldest brother and the younger brother were still asleep, and she began to prepare breakfast.

Yesterday I bought some rice noodles and the like, although the seasoning was also prepared, but the vegetables were only Chinese cabbage, not even green onions, it seems that I have to go shopping today. There are almost no vegetables sold in their village now, and those with better conditions will get a small vegetable garden, and those with poor conditions will hook a few green onions in front of and behind their houses, and plant some beans or something, but it was summer. Now in winter, almost every house is cabbage and potatoes, she just wants to improve and want to get some good ones, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the conditions are not allowed!

So, she boiled white rice porridge, cut some small pickles, and put some sesame oil on it. I took out a basket of eggs that I bought yesterday, steamed an egg custard, and baked two cakes for the staple food, but her baking skills are really average, and after coming out of the pot, there are two layers, and it is a little hard, but she tasted it, and she can still eat it, so it's okay. Alas, she obviously put a lot of oil, why didn't she get out of the layer!

In any case, the fragrance of the egg custard was still very attractive, and the two brothers were drooling after a while.

After the three brothers and sisters finished washing and the food was served, they were about to start eating, when they heard a brake sound outside the door, and then they heard someone shouting her name, "Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan!" ”

Xiao Yan asked her brother and younger brother to eat first, and when she went out to have a look, she saw a slender girl with a slightly dark face standing at the door of her house.

"You are?" Xiao Yan doesn't remember many people in the village, some of them look familiar but they just can't name them, no wonder it's been too long, she doesn't know what she remembers for a long time.

"Xiao Yan, I'm Liu Lin! Two days ago, you went to my house to deliver a bowl of sauerkraut fish. Liu Lin is Grandma Liu's granddaughter, and she pushes a 28 bicycle and looks ready to go.

"Liu Lin?" There are only two families she sends fish, one is Grandma Liu's house and one is Aunt Feng's house, so she also knows who the other party is, but the name is not sure yet, so she tentatively speaks out.

"Yes, I'm Liu Lin, and I have to go to work in a while, so I'll make a long story short."

Xiao Yan opened the door and let her in, Liu Lin looked left and right, entered the courtyard, and said a little mysteriously, "Xiao Yan, I heard about something yesterday and wanted to come to sue you." ”

Liu Lin works in a factory in the county, because of overtime, so she came back late, when she came back by bicycle, she saw Lin Su'e, that is, Aunt Xiao Yan's second aunt entered her house opposite the door Aunt Liu's house, the two muttered and didn't know what to say, this morning Aunt Liu went out to buy vegetables and chatted with the neighbors, proudly showing off that her family ate stew today, although Aunt Liu's family is not poor, but no one is reluctant to buy meat to eat, those fish and meat are only eaten during the New Year, so she guessed that Aunt Xiao took it to her yesterday.

But Lin Su'e is not a generous person, and the two families are far away, and she hasn't heard of any dealings, so she listened to a few words with her ears, and heard Aunt Liu say a lot of bad things about Xiao Yan to her neighbors, and said that she used the family's recipe to sell it for a lot of money and wanted to swallow it for herself, but let her not be complacent, someone would clean her up immediately, and she would soon be homeless.

Only then did Liu Lin know that Aunt Xiao's family had the idea of beating her house, so she immediately came to report to her.

"Listening to what she said, it seems that your second aunt said that she missed her mouth, but they have already asked the village chief to talk about this, and they are probably coming to you soon, so you have to be mentally prepared." After Liu Lin finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Yan with a worried face.

Xiao Yan listened calmly, nodded and said, "Thank you, I know, don't worry, it's okay." ”

Liu Lin also nodded, probably in a hurry, so he hurried to work.

Xiao Yan knew that the second uncle and aunt would not give up, but she didn't expect them to be so excessive. Thinking about his previous life, he knew that his parents had no news, so he immediately lost his square inch, thinking about finding it quickly, and the family didn't care about it at all, presumably after he left in his previous life, the eldest brother only knew that his brain was not bright when he worked, and the younger brother was too young to fight, presumably this house was also occupied by the second uncle's family early.

But now I'm only fourteen years old, even if I didn't leave in my previous life, I guess I won't be able to keep this house!

Xiao Yan thought about what she could do now, now there are three brothers and sisters in the family, they are all children in their eyes, and they are all easy to bully, Xiao Yan clenched her fists.

Okay, just let them try.

@

Xiao Yan was thinking about fighting and fighting, and the second uncle and aunt were also thinking about whether to take it by force or take it.

Of course, they still hope to get the house in a civilized way, so after receiving a series of gifts such as eggs and sugar, the village chief smoked a dry tobacco pouch and asked Xiao Yan's children to be invited from home to discuss future life issues.

Of course, Lin Su'e volunteered to go, she only heard yesterday that this girl didn't know where to make up the secret recipe for fish stew, and after setting up a line with Chunlian, she sold it to a county restaurant, and sold it for a lot of money, where did this secret recipe come from, it must be their Xiao family, and she can't say the things of the Xiao family alone, so she has been prepared for a long time, and she has to go and ask for the secret recipe first.

Lin Su'e called her two sons to go with her, but Second Uncle Xiao didn't follow, in his opinion, he didn't need to go out on his own for this little thing.

On the way, I met Zhang Dali and his wife on the other side of her house, Zhang Dali was carrying a burden, and he didn't know what it was containing, and his daughter-in-law was also carrying a small basket on her right arm, and the two couples were going out of the village.

Lin Su'e is also a member of the Zhang family, and if she usually encounters it, she must inquire about what people are doing, but today she is obviously not that interested.

Zhang Dali's daughter-in-law greeted her, she just waved her hand in a hurry and left, Zhang Dali's daughter-in-law didn't feel anything, she couldn't talk to this Lin Su'e plainly, and meeting was just a greeting. But Zhang Dali was very curious, and he was surprised at the moment, "Hey, why did this Lin Su'e seem to be a different person today, usually if you see the two of us going out, you can't ask if you look ugly, for fear that we will make a fortune by selling something, what's wrong today?" ”

The two of them look like they are going to the county to sell things, their village usually focuses on farming, and the brigade also collects grain, but they grow some vegetables at home, and if they can't eat an egg, they will take it out and sell it, which can be regarded as a subsidy for the family.

"You take care of her, let's hurry up, it's not too early." Zhang Dali's daughter-in-law urged.

Zhang Dali carried the burden and continued to walk, they were walking towards the east exit, just passing by the village brigade, there is usually no one in the brigade, but when there is something to do, there will be people, but when they pass by the brigade, they see that the gate is wide open, and the old village chief and Uncle Xiao in the courtyard and several cadres in the brigade are there.

Zhang Dali's curiosity was even more brilliant all of a sudden, and he insisted on going in to see what was going on, Zhang Dali's daughter-in-law rolled her eyes and said, Then you can go, I'll go first.

Zhang Dali really went, and Zhang Dali's daughter-in-law really didn't wait for her, and walked slowly in front of her.

But after a while, Zhang Dali chased after him with a burden, and after catching up, he said to his daughter-in-law in a panic, "It's not good!" ”

Zhang Dali's daughter-in-law was used to his surprise, so she didn't squeak to listen to it, and then heard Zhang Dali say, "I said that Lin Su'e was in such a hurry, why did she go, it turned out that she was going to rob someone's house." ”

Zhang Dali's daughter-in-law sighed after listening to her husband learn what he had heard, "How can there be such an uncle and aunt!" Lack of morality, how can a few children live. ”

sighed and sighed, they still have two children to raise, and they spent a lot of money when they went out, and they didn't earn any money, and they were also worried about how their family of four would live! So it's just a sigh that they should go into the city to sell things.

"Hey, daughter-in-law, hurry, there's a place here!" Zhang Dali finally found a vacant lot in the crowded market, so he quickly put down his burden, and then beckoned his daughter-in-law.

The two brought eggs from their own chickens, as well as a few handkerchiefs embroidered by Zhang Dali's daughter-in-law, she is very good at needlework and thread, and will embroider a few patterns.

It's a new era, these things are not popular, and no one in this small broken county has the leisure to appreciate, there is a flower on it, and it is only a thing that looks better than an ordinary handkerchief, so it can't be sold at any price, just to make a hard money.

The two of them put it on their side, and the middle-aged couple who took the tractor to the county seat also came to this big set.

At this time, the square-faced man hugged his daughter-in-law and said excitedly, "You said it was good to buy something for the children, this is about to meet, I can't wait." ”

The woman complained, "I can't wait for you to go to the market to buy something, so you can't go back and see it before you buy it." ”

"How can this be the same, we haven't seen the children for so long, this fierce back, nothing is prepared, the children must not complain that we are parents who went out and didn't even buy a gift?" The square-faced man looked disapproving, "Besides, I can't delay any time, it's only morning, maybe the children haven't gotten up yet!" Our Xiaoyan loves to sleep lazily. ”

On the one hand, the woman was eager to return home, on the other hand, she felt that what her husband said was also a little reasonable, and she was also worried that the children would be disappointed, so she went shopping with her husband.

"Brother Xiao?" Zhang Dali opened his mouth wide, looking surprised.

The square-faced man turned his head, his voice familiar, "Vigorous!" ”

"Yikes! Brother Xiao, you are, you are back with your sister-in-law! I thought. ”

That's right, this couple is Xiao Yan's parents, and the square-faced man is Xiao's father Xiao Zhen.

Xiao Zhen looked at his surprised look, and said with a smile, "Why do you think so?" Thought we were all burned to death? ”

To be honest, Zhang Dali really thought so, but he couldn't say that, so he said lightly, "Hey, how can it!" It's just that it was too chaotic at the time, and all of us were scattered, and Fourth Uncle Yu gathered all the big guys together at that time, but he couldn't find you and his sister-in-law, so. ”

"Hey, it's hard to put into words!" Xiao Zhen also sighed, thinking about the experience of these days, I really don't know where to start.

At this time, Zhang Dali's daughter-in-law interjected, "Brother Xiao, when you come back, hurry up and go home to have a look!" ”

Zhang Dali patted his head, "Yes, yes, how did I forget this stubble, Brother Xiao, you hurry home, or the children at home will not be bullied to death!" ”

"What?"
