Chapter XI

After Aunt Liu finished speaking, she also looked at Xiao Yan who walked to the mouth of the alley provocatively, and turned her head to Xiao Yan, and the two looked at each other.

Xiao Yan was cold, her eyes seemed to have a knife in her eyes, Aunt Liu shrank unconsciously, she was actually a bully who was afraid of the hard, usually the owner of the Li family's short story, and when she really ran into a hard stubble, she had to hide, and at this time, when she saw Xiao Yan's murderous gaze, she instinctively dodged.

But as soon as he retracted his head, he thought that he was an adult anyway, and the other party was just a teenage and thin little girl, what kind of lethality could he have, so he was not afraid of death and stuck his head out, and then glared back triumphantly.

Xiao Yan has never seen anyone outside in these years, no matter how fierce the shrew is, she can't move her to share her pride, how can she be afraid of an ignorant woman, but she also knows that her strength is too weak now, and she has no ability to deal with it.

Although she thought so in her heart, she couldn't lose in momentum, she stared at each other expressionlessly, a pair of big black and white eyes, full of indifference, Aunt Liu's straight hair was stared at, and she couldn't help but retreat, she quickly turned around and went into her yard, and whispered a sentence before closing the door, "neurosis", and then leaned back to the door, patting her chest with palpitations, she had an illusion that it was not the eyes of a little girl just now, but the fierce gaze of a middle-aged woman who had experienced the world, It's so cowardly to look at it, and some kind of Cheng dù on her truth.

Xiao Yan returned home with a sad heart, and as soon as she arrived at the door of the fence, she saw her younger brother Xiaohui sitting on the small dirt steps at the door of her outhouse, looking at the door, Xiao Yan stepped into the courtyard in two steps, and said distressedly, "How do you sit outside, what should I do if I catch a cold again, hurry in." ”

Xiaohui ran to the front of her sister, and said to her sister with shining eyes, "Sister, why did you come back, I've been back for a long time!" Well, this one for you to eat! He opened his palm, revealing two fruit candies wrapped in transparent colored plastic paper, this kind of hard candy used to be very popular when she was a child, although it was not very expensive, but it also cost five cents a piece, like their current conditions, it is impossible to eat often, Xiaohui has been very fond of sweets since she was a child.

"Sister doesn't eat it, you can eat it!" Xiao Yan said, "This is what Brother Dongdong gave you?" ”

"Well, Brother Dongdong grabbed a lot of it for me, but I didn't ask for it, and then Dongdong's mother stuffed it into my pocket for me, and said that the fish you made is delicious, sister." Xiaohui said excitedly, as if he was praising him.

"Oh, really?" Xiao Yan picked up her younger brother and walked into the house suspiciously, "They all eaten?" ”

"Yes! I went to the end, and they said they didn't want it! But once you taste it, you can't like it all. ”

Xiao Yan raised her eyebrows, could it be that the sauerkraut she made by herself really has a market, of course, it is not ruled out that this kind of sauerkraut fish method has not yet become popular, and it looks relatively novel on their side.

Xiang Chunlian actually didn't like her very much, especially when the two went to junior high school and grew older, because they lived close to each other, they usually went to school together and got out of school together, but suddenly one day, Xiang Chunlian didn't let Feng Dong go with her, Feng Dong was very embarrassed and felt that it was unreasonable. She didn't understand why the other party didn't like her, and later she came into contact with more people and things in society, and gradually understood that the other party just wanted to strangle the sprout in the cradle, who would want her son to like a poor girl, a girl who has nothing to help her family!

People go to high places, and water flows to low places, but she has always only regarded Feng Dong as a very good brother, and she has grown up together since she was a child, like brothers and sisters, how can she think in that direction. And she believes that Feng Dong didn't think about it either, and later when she was adrift and couldn't get along, she went to Feng Dong for help, and Feng Dong also talked about friends at school, and later broke up in his senior year, and he was sad for a while, so that his figure was out of shape, and he no longer looked as beautiful as he used to be.

After she figured this out, she felt that Xiang Chunlian really thought too much.

However, despite Xiang Chunlian's power, she is a woman with a lively brain, and she has some courage, otherwise in this remote rural area where everyone makes a living from farming, she has opened a small shop and started a business, she believes that the other party should have a way to sell her sauerkraut fish, she shouldn't have to find a market by herself, just sit and wait for the other party to come to the door.

Grandma Liu's house

"Grandma, I'm back!" Liu Lin is the granddaughter of Grandma Liu, her parents died when she was very young, she has been dependent on her grandmother since she was a child, she is sixteen years old this year, she did not graduate from junior high school and did not study anymore, dragged the same village to have a door, working in the factory in the town, in her heart, to be able to go out early to work and make money to help grandma reduce the burden of the family, is the most important thing. She really couldn't let her grandmother go out to pick up rags and eat chaff vegetables for her to sit in the bright classroom and read, and she knew that reading would be better than now, but that was more than ten years later, she couldn't afford to wait, her grandmother was too old.

"Linlin, come in, eat!" Grandma Liu put the dishes and chopsticks on the table in the outhouse and said to her granddaughter.

Liu Lin picked up a towel and wiped her face, and sat opposite her grandmother, "Oh, grandma, eat fish today!" But it's too rich! She saw a green vegetable and a chicken leg on the table, as well as a bowl of red fish, which smelled good.

"The chicken leg is for you to replenish your body, you have been working overtime every day these days, hard work! I don't make fish. Grandma Liu said with a smile.

"You didn't do it?" Liu Linlin stretched out her chopsticks for a moment, and said, "Also, I haven't seen you do it before, you will make braised food, I haven't seen this method, I have cut it into small pieces, if I didn't smell the smell of fish, I thought it was some kind of meat!" ”

She took a chopstick and put it in her mouth, "Well, it's delicious, it's just a little spicy." ”

None of them can eat spicy food, Xiao Yan has put a small amount of chili peppers in order to cater to the taste of the public, but it is not good if she doesn't put spicy, otherwise she can't get rid of the fishy smell at all, she still knows this.

Then Liu Lin said again, "But it's so fragrant!" Then she ate it in large chunks.

Grandma Liu only tasted one bite, and then she didn't eat any more fish, not because the fish was not delicious, but because she was old, it didn't matter if she ate it or not, so let her granddaughter eat more of such a delicious thing.

Liu Lin was eating happily, and saw that her grandmother only picked up vegetables to eat, so she hurriedly sandwiched a piece of fish meat for her grandmother, and then quickly changed the topic, "Grandma, you haven't said who made this fish?" ”

Grandma Liu was really diverted, "Oh, it's Xiao Yan, it's Xiao Yan from your Uncle Xiao's family at the mouth of the alley, this fish is made by her!" ”

"She did it? It's amazing that she has such good cooking skills when she is only a teenager! Liu Lin couldn't help but look at the black and thin little girl a little differently.

"That's right! Alas, the children of poor families have long been in charge, and her parents are not around, and she came back to live with her younger brother yesterday, it must be that her uncle and aunt are not interested in their sisters and brothers, and it is not easy! Grandma Liu said with great sympathy, but her ability was limited, and she couldn't help the child.

Liu Lin nodded, looking at the fish thoughtfully.

Xiao Yan didn't expect it badly, before it was dark, Xiang Chunlian came to the door, but it was not her who came, but Feng Dong came.

"Xiaoyan, not at home!" Feng Dong's voice was full of excitement.

"Xiaodong, why are you here, finish your homework!" Xiao Yan joked that although this guy is smart and has good grades, he is not top-notch, which may be related to the fact that he doesn't like to do homework, and he can drag his homework to the end every day.

Feng Dong pouted, "I don't like to write homework, because I know all about it, and it's a waste of time to write those again, okay?" ”

Then, before Xiao Yan could say more, he said happily again, "My mother said to invite you to come to my house for dim sum, and my house has a few new dim sums, which are particularly delicious, especially the white skin of the jujube paste filling." After saying that, he licked his lips unsatisfactorily.

Xiao Yan sneered, "What about you!" She thought to herself, I'm afraid it's the sauerkraut fish thing that has a drama, "You wait for me to change my clothes!" ”

"Oh, good." He followed into the outhouse and stopped and picked up Xiaohui to tease him, "Xiaohui, I'll take your sister to eat delicious, don't take you there." ”

Xiaohui pouted, unhappy, "Oh," turned to his sister in the room and shouted, "Sister, eat more!" ”

Xiao Yan promised loudly in the house, she actually didn't have many clothes to change, but now her body was very dirty, and she hadn't had time to change it, so she had to be clean when she went out.

Feng Dong smiled, "You kid, I'm afraid that your sister will lose money if she eats less!" In this way, you call me Brother Sheng, and I'll take you with me, okay? ”

Xiao Hui grinned, "Big brother, big brother, big brother!" He screamed a lot in a row, and then he also knew that the other party was actually joking with him, teasing him, in order to eat delicious snacks, he didn't know the other party in general, thinking that he was a three-year-old child? Hum!

Feng Dong was amused by his words and smiled, and said that this stupid brother was straightforward.

Xiao Yan changed her clothes and went straight to Feng Dong's house, and on the way Feng Dong said, "I don't know what's going on, why did my mother suddenly want to invite you to eat, ah!" It must be that the fish you made is so delicious, my mother found out that you have such a big advantage, and I think I really looked down on you before! ”

"That's right, that's it, my sister is very powerful, don't look down on him." Xiaohui sat in Feng Dong's arms and echoed, although he didn't understand what 'depreciating' meant, it was definitely not a good word.

The three of them talked and laughed, and they arrived at the courtyard of Feng Dong's house in a few steps, and the courtyard of his house was full of all kinds of cardboard boxes. Feng's father, Feng Kang, was tallying, counting while holding an abacus and pulling, and then after calculating, he wrote and drew in a notebook next to him.

"Dad, where's my mom!" Feng Dong said to his father Feng.

Dad Feng raised his head, "Shop in front," and then smiled at Xiao Yan in the back, "Xiao Yan is here!" Let's get inside! ”

Feng's father is an honest man, Xiao Yan felt that he was very similar to Guo Jing when he watched "Shooting the Condor", he was as honest and honest, and the same fool had stupid blessings, maybe he could find such an honest person from a smart person like Chunlian to get along.

"Hello Auntie!" Xiao Yan entered the back room and saw Xiang Chunlian, who was also pulling the abacus.

Xiang Chunlian raised her head, her essence flashed, and her enthusiasm seemed to be not like a person as usual.
