Chapter XIV Invitation

Lin Changqing, the village head, agreed to go to her house for dinner under Lin Zhu's sincere and repeated invitations. Aunt Li saw that they were talking about it, so she asked Lin Zhu to find the two sisters who were as good as Qingruyu to play.

"Xiaozhu, this kid is very good, sensible and practical." Aunt Li watched Lin Zhu come out of the hall and whispered to Lin Changqing, "We didn't help much, but she kept it in mind and tried every means to repay, and adults may not be able to do her like this." "Yes, I just wanted to be less troublesome, but I didn't expect to be so thoughtful about human accidents at a young age, forget it, if it's not too much, just help a little if you can." Lin Changqing also agreed with Aunt Li's words.

Lin Zhu came to Ruyu and Youqing's room, and saw Ruyu and Youqing fiddling with their purses, so he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, "Sister Youqing, Xiaoyu, I'm in." "Come in, the clothes are ready, just come and try it out." Youqing looked up and saw Lin Zhu coming in, put down the purse in his hand, took out the clothes that had been made and put them on the table. Ruyu and her sister Youqing live in a room, the bed is next to the window, and on a small low table in the middle is a small basket with needlework, scissors and other things, and a few brightly colored purses next to it. Before Lin Zhu came, the two of them were fiddling around the table. Youqing got out of bed and pulled Lin Zhu to the side of the bed, and asked her to try on the clothes that had been made for her. Lin Zhu looked at the clothes in front of him, the light green dress, the collar and cuffs were trimmed with tender yellow cotton cloth, the belt was also tender yellow, and a few small pink flowers were embroidered on the placket of the right hem, Lin Zhu put it on under the persuasion of Ruyu and Youqing, "Is it good-looking?" The clothes fit well, and the expressions of surprise on the faces of the two showed that this dress suited her perfectly. Xiaozhu, it's so beautiful. Youqing smiled and looked at Lin Zhu, who was wearing new clothes, and gave her an affirmative answer, Ruyu also nodded her little head on the side, "Well, it's good-looking." "Here, I'll comb your hair again." Youqing pulled Lin Zhu closer, took out a comb, re-combed Lin Zhu's hair, and after combing it, put a pink gauze silk flower on her. Lin Zhu didn't have any headdress, but he also knew that it was not easy to get such a silk flower, so he excused himself and wanted to take it down, but Youqing stopped her and took out two more, "This is made of rags left over from the purse, and it's also yours, I made three, just one of us, don't blame me for making my own decisions and taking advantage of you." I heard that it was made of rags, so Lin Zhu no longer shirked, "What does it matter, the rags are not valuable, but Sister Youqing is ingenious and can do anything, Xiaoyu and I are blessed, even the silk flowers don't have to go out to buy them, I save a lot of money, Xie Lu Xie Youqing." There should still be some rags at home, and when I have time to figure out what I can do, Xiaoyu and I are both stained with your light. Lin Zhu looked at the silk flowers on the table, and envied her dexterity, one of the two silk flowers was yellow, and the other was pink like the one on her head. Lin Zhu pushed them towards the two of them, "Let's have one flower for each person." "I know that Xiaozhu will give it to us, sister, you see, she won't be unhappy." Ruyu picked up the pink silk flower, and Youqing also picked up another one. "You, if you get cheap, you sell well, don't be like this outside, it will make people laugh." Youqing regarded Lin Zhu as another sister and didn't have anything to do with her. This made Lin Zhu very happy.

After dressing up, Lin Zhu turned into a fresh little Lori. was praised by Ruyu for a while. Youqing also nodded with a smile on the side. Lin Zhu remembered that he would invite them to his house for dinner later, "Come to my house for dinner at noon." "Didn't you invite us to dinner yesterday, don't be too polite. And you give us a share of the purse, that's enough. "Youqing doesn't want Lin Zhu to have too much burden, the days are still long, how can she always let her break the cost for this little thing." Actually, today's main thank you Uncle Xie Lin made him worry a lot about my affairs, and he didn't say it, he really didn't want to go. The eldest lady also went, I prepared a lot, everyone went, and I could be more lively. Hearing that my father and mother would go, Youqing didn't object anymore.

Ruyu next to her heard Lin Zhu's words, and her eyes immediately lit up, "Xiaozhu, do you still eat that shredded meat noodles from yesterday?" It was so delicious. "yes, who couldn't even eat dinner yesterday?" Ruyu ate too much yesterday and didn't eat dinner. Ruyu, who was exposed by her sister, blushed, "That's because Xiaozhu's craftsmanship is so good." "Eat something else today, I'll go back and prepare first, you can just come over at noon." After speaking, Lin Zhu changed into new clothes, "Sister Youqing, please bring this dress to me later." Lin Zhu didn't want them to leave a handle on the good things in the village.

Youqing went out of the room with Lin Zhu, saw Aunt Li, and told her that she was going back to prepare, and asked them to come over at noon. Aunt Li wanted to go over and help, "Xiaozhu, I'll help you make it, it's not easy to cook so many people's meals by one person." "It's okay, auntie, I've got everything ready, in fact, it's just a simple meal, it's not difficult, or let Xiaoyu accompany me back, be a companion for me." saw Ruyu coming out of the room, looking like she was following along. Aunt Li also saw Ruyu's careful thoughts, "Okay, let Xiaoyu go with you." ”

As soon as Lin Zhu and Ruyu left, seeing the two of them go out, Youqing said to Aunt Li, "Mother, Xiaozhu asked me to bring her clothes." Aunt Li understood as soon as she heard it, this is the reason that Lin Zhu found for them, there are many good people in the village, and some words can also gag their mouths, and also prevent the villagers from gossiping about the village chief. It seems that Lin Zhu remembered the last time he talked to Wen Shanniang. "Then you can bring it later, by the way, are those purses ready? When you're done, bring it to her. If she gives it to you, you will take it, and it is also a little bit of her heart, it doesn't matter. "Well, it's done, I forgot to tell her just now, I'll bring it to her later." Youqing turned around and went back to the room to prepare.

When Aunt Li saw the village chief, she repeated Lin Zhu's words to him, and also said what Wen Shanniang said on the day of the market. Lin Changqing nodded, "I didn't expect her to be so thoughtful at such a young age, in the end, everyone is from her background, and it doesn't hurt to let Xiaoyu have more dealings with her." Aunt Li also agreed with the village chief's words.

Ruyu and Lin Zhu walked happily all the way to the village, and on the way, Lin Zhu told her about picking up a puppy, "Really?!" What kind? "It's a little black dog, it looks like it's just full moon, don't look at it small, but it's naughty, and you'll know it when you see it in a while, and I'll name it Black Bean." "Does anyone in the village have a black dog, and if it is the owner, what will they do with me?" Lin Zhu asked Ruyu worriedly, "I haven't heard of anyone's dog giving birth, and besides, there are no black dogs in the village." Ruyu thought for a while, "No one will throw away the puppy that has just reached the full moon, it shouldn't be from our village." "Then I'll rest assured, let's go, let's go back quickly."

Not far from the gate of the village, Lin Zhu heard the milky sound of black beans, stepped forward to open the door, saw black beans squatting in the door, saw her open the door, ran forward and wanted to jump out of the threshold, but it was too small, no matter how to jump.

Black Bean'er's action greatly pleased Lin Zhu, and he walked in, wanting to pick up Black Bean, but it was still at the threshold, screaming outside. Lin Zhu turned his head and saw that it was calling at Ruyu who was about to enter the door. Block her small body in front of Ruyu and prevent her from entering. Lin Zhu hurriedly squatted down and touched Hei Dou'er's head, "Hei Dou'er, be good, this is Xiaoyu, she can come in, don't scream." As if she understood Lin Zhu's words, Black Bean stepped forward and sniffed at Ruyu who entered the door, turned around and walked inside, returning to the courtyard like a victorious general to inspect its territory.

Lin Zhu looked at the appearance of the black bean, felt that it was very smart, and said to Ruyu who came in, "Hehe, it won't bark at you in the future." Ruyu was hit by Black Bean'er's performance, "It ignored me." Looking at Ruyu who wanted to play with Black Bean, Lin Zhu stopped him, "Let's go cook first, and then you go and feed it after eating, and it will play with you." ”

When the two came to the kitchen, Lin Zhu still asked Ruyu to help light the fire. First, the rice is cooked. Because the rice has already been washed, as long as you add an appropriate amount of water to the pot, put down the rice, and just burn the fire. In the interval between the fire of Ruyu, Lin Zhu dialed some green onions and cabbage from the yard and took them to the well to clean, because she didn't want to expose that she still had a lot of money, so she didn't buy too many things when she rushed to the market, so Lin Zhu thought, stew all the ribs and meat, and it is more affordable for the countrymen to eat these, and then put the remaining half of the pork heart and pork liver slices from yesterday on a plate, stir-fry the cabbage, and then fry the eggs. These are not shabby, but also very suitable for her current situation.

Back in the kitchen, Lin Zhu cut the washed cabbage for later use, took a large bowl, beat four eggs in the bowl, finely cut the green onion and put it in the bowl, added salt and stirred well. After it is done, take out the leftover pork heart and liver from yesterday and cut it. When that's done, the rice is almost ready. Together with Ruyu, put the cooked rice in a basin and cover it with something to prevent the rice from getting cold.

Lin Zhu washed the pot and prepared to stew the pork ribs, which also made her feel that it was too inconvenient to have only one pot, and it would be nice to add a smaller pot.

Lin Zhu will have already washed two pieces of meat, cut them into one-centimeter-thick slices, first put the fat part in the pot and stir-fry, stir-fry the oil, in order to make the stewed meat fat but not greasy, only stir-fry the fat meat until it is some golden, and then put the ribs into the pot, keep stir-frying, add the green onions, ginger and star anise that are ready for the gang, pour in the soy sauce, and then fry for five or six minutes, look at the meat and ribs have the color of soy sauce before pouring in the water, and the water has not passed the ribs. Cover the pot with a lid and let Ruyu continue to burn the fire, she found a lot of coarse wood, and after the water boiled, fill in the coarse wood to keep the water in the pot boiling.

After doing this, Lin Zhu also squatted down to accompany Ruyu to burn together, "Xiaozhu, you are so good, you can make so many delicious food." Ruyu looked at her enviously.
