Xu Lanzhou felt that this was indeed the case, and still sneered, "I still know that 'it is obvious', it is really not stupid." ”

Xu Lanyin sneered, "My mother has taught me to read and memorize poems since I was a child, of course I know." Do you think you're the only one who is educated? ”

The two siblings hadn't joked with each other for a long time. Qin laughed out loud and said, "Zhou'er, don't look down on your sister, she was smart when she was a child, she was very ......" Since she grew up, she has changed.

Of course, the last sentence Qin didn't have to say.

Xu Lanyin went out to wash her hands, and then took the winter melon candy to the Westinghouse.

Xu Lanting was still lying on her kang, looking at Xu Lanyin with blank eyes, and her mental state was better than in the morning. Xu Lanyin touched his forehead, still a little feverish. Smiled and stuffed a long strip of winter melon candy into his mouth, "Is it sweet?" ”

Xu Lanting's cheeks bulged high, and he said vaguely, "Sweet, delicious." ”

Xu Lanyin put the small packet of winter melon candy next to his pillow and said with a smile, "If you drink the bitter medicine soup and eat a piece of sugar, you won't feel bitter." He added, "The eldest sister also bought delicious food and made it for you at night." ”

Xu Lanyin rested for a while, and the sky gradually darkened. So I went to the field and pulled a few green onions and a handful of leeks.

Xu Lanzhou lit the fire, and occasionally beat it again, Xu Lanyin first cut the pork liver into slices and soaked it in water. Cut the oil into cubes and boil in a pan.

A small oil lamp was placed on a wooden board protruding from the wall, and the light jumped and jumped to illuminate the kitchen and the two busy figures. The aroma of lard came out, the fumes wafted everywhere, and the dim lights felt greasy.

For the first time, Xu Lanyin felt that the smoke in the house was also a manifestation of wealth. In my previous life, I was really born in happiness and didn't know how to be blessed, and I installed a powerful range hood in the kitchen, but I was still tired of the pervasive oil smoke.

Put the lard into a large bowl, and bake a few mixed flour soft cakes with white flour and cornmeal, and fry a dried tofu with leeks.

Seeing Xu Lanyin put the oil residue into the dried tofu, Xu Lanzhou was so distressed that his eyebrows were furrowed, "It's really a loser, there are so many delicious foods, why waste the oil residue." ”

Xu Lanyin said, "I want you to send half a bowl of dried tofu to grandma." They have helped the family a lot, and we also have to be respectful and filial, and the courtesy is light. ”

How did he not think of it. Xu Lanzhou rolled her eyelids and looked at Xu Lanyin, this stupid girl has really become smarter.

In the end, the pork liver soup was roasted, except for salt and green onion and ginger, there were no other seasonings at home, but Xu Lanyin's craftsmanship was good, and it was green food, so it was still fragrant.

After it was cooked, she sandwiched some pork liver into the bowl of dried tofu and asked Xu Lanzhou to send it to the Xu family's big house.

brought the food to the table, helped Qin out again, and took Xu Lanting out, and Xu Lanzhou came back. He smiled, and the old man Xu praised them for their filial piety, saying that they still thought about the old man after eating some pork liver.

The four of them ate around the table, pork liver soup, dried tofu, soft cakes, and a layer of bright oily seeds floating on the soup noodles, which was the best meal after the family sold six acres of land.

A few pieces of pork liver and a few people gave in for a long time.

A few pieces of pork liver were nothing in the previous life, but in the poor home, it was a precious thing, and it should be added to the belly that should be added the most.

Xu Lanyin discussed with the Qin family, "Mother, I will make a rare snack, using white flour, sugar, eggs, milk or goat's milk......"

As soon as her words fell, Xu Lanzhou puffed out his eyes and said, "Are you dreaming, do you want to give Gu Wangchen such a precious snack to eat?" I said why are you so abnormal these days, it turns out that you want money to cook food for Gu Wangchen. ”

Xu Lanyin was also unhappy and said, "Can you let me finish speaking?" I came up with a snack, and I wanted to go to the county seat to sell it, maybe I could earn some money and let my family tide over the difficulties. ”

Xu Lanzhou said unconvinced, "What snacks will you make?" At most, I will make a nest and mixed bread steamed buns, and make a few cakes......"

Qin Shi also frowned and said, "Zhou'er, you are a boy and the eldest son of our family, you must speak and act steadily." No matter what, you should listen to what people say. He said to Xu Lanyin again, "My mother doesn't agree with you making dim sum to sell." You just thought about it, but you haven't made it yourself, and you don't know if it's going to be delicious. Now that the family is in difficulty, where is the spare money for you to try it. ”

Xu Lanyin had to bow her head and stop talking, she can't say that I did it, right?

The family was reluctant to use more lamp oil after washing, and after washing, the family went to bed early again.

The next day, Xu Lanzhou continued to rest at home, Xu Lanyin went to the mountains behind the village to collect medicine, but he didn't pick much medicine, and picked up a lot of firewood and wild vegetables.

After eating dinner, waiting for those people to rest, Xu Lanyin began to find Grandpa Zhang's small wooden card and small wooden box to give the original owner. I searched through the hall, kitchen, firewood room, and warehouse, including the thatched hut and chicken pen in the backyard, but she couldn't find it, which made her extremely disappointed. Thinking that the original owner was really a loser, eighty percent of those two things were thrown away by her. Fortunately, it was just a small wooden card and a small wooden box, if it was a jade card, it would have been given to Gu Wangchen a long time ago. If that's the case, wouldn't it be cheaper for nothing?

And she didn't dare to look for it in the house of the Qin family and Xu Lanzhou, for fear that they would wonder if she was looking for a deed or something.

These days, their family's food is very good, every day Xu Lanzhou will go to Xinghua Village to cut two taels of meat or a piece of pork liver and come back for Qin and Xu Lanting to chop balls to eat or cook soup to drink. The hen sent by Mrs. Xu was also very competitive, almost one egg a day, and half of their mother and son were steamed in the morning.

Every time Xu Lanzhou came back from buying meat, he would say that the ancient woman was also used to eating mouths, and as long as she saw him coming back with meat, she would roll her eyes at him, as if she had bought meat with the money of the ancient family.

Mrs. Xu heard that their family bought meat every day and didn't believe it, so she came to inquire. The Qin family said that Xu Lan was selling her dowry.

Mrs. Xu also felt that she was selling it right, and said, "The dead girl is right to do that." She was also born in our family, if she was left in someone else's house, which girl dared to sell the land secretly, even if she was not killed, she would also sell it for silver. ”

At the beginning of August, Xu Lanting's wind chill had already improved, and he moved to the East Chamber to live with Xu Lanzhou. Qin's illness has also become a little colorful, he can walk slowly in the house, and he can do what he can.

During this period, Xu Lanyin went to the county seat to sell medicine again. Because he didn't go to Wild Bee Ridge, he didn't pick many herbs, and he only sold them for sixty-six yuan, which was not enough to buy medicine for the Qin family and Xu Lanting.

On the sixth day of the eighth month, the two acres of corn land at home were harvested. There are only two acres, and the yield in ancient times is low, Xu Lanzhou and Xu Lanyin refused to help the Dafang family, and Dafang has more land and is even busier. The two sisters and brothers finished harvesting in a day and a half, and then Xu Lanzhou transported the corn stalks home as firewood, and then made the ground servant, so that they could grow winter wheat.
