Han Jin ran out a few steps and came back, telling Xiaoshan to plug in the door, boil water for Xiangxiang to wash his feet early, let them go to bed early, and he also went home to sleep.

Zhou Lanxiang didn't need to guess, as soon as she looked at his expression, she knew that this kid was going to run out and toss late tonight, and he didn't plan to sleep at all!

But Han Jin is different from others, he has his own ideas if he can't speak, even his grandfather can't control it, and she never thinks that she can force him to do anything and not do anything.

Besides, he has become more and more sensible recently, and he knows what he says and does, so she won't care about him.

Han Jin saw Xiangxiang's big black and bright eyes flickering twice on him, obviously he had something to say but he had to endure not saying it, where would he not know what she was thinking, and pulled her braid with a smile: "Don't worry, I didn't do anything bad, I just drunk the two boys at the beet station in the commune and stole a few sacks of beets." ”

Seeing Xiangxiang's mouth open wide in fright, Han Jin laughed: "Fool! I have wine to pour him, it is better to beat him up, this saves more money! ”

Zhou Lanxiang was not fooled this time, and stuffed him with a bag of dried beets, telling him to leave quickly!

If he can make such a joke, he understands what she is worried about, and he will definitely not do it.

I remember that when he was a child, he always got into trouble, and after being punished by his grandfather, he came to her and asked: "Xiangxiang, can't you do this?" She said no, and he didn't do it again.

Early the next morning, Xiaoshan got up to make a stove, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw a sack of beets at the door, which must have been sent by Han Jin in the middle of the night last night.

When Han came in for breakfast, he was full of energy, and he couldn't see at all that he had been busy working for most of the night and carried back a bag of things from more than ten miles away. This time he didn't tease Xiangxiang, he took the initiative to explain: "This year, there are big black ants in the beet station, and the beets in several warehouses have suffered. ”

Ants are not like rats that can also place a clamp or a fixed point to dosing, and some highly toxic drugs cannot be sprayed on the beet, seeing that there are more and more ants, and the beet is densely covered with a layer, the head of the beet station in the commune is bald, Han Jin can be regarded as a great help to him!

Originally, Han Jin really didn't like those beets, he was a big man who didn't care about eating sweets, and he couldn't look at beet pimples if he found something delicious for Xiangxiang, if he hadn't been happy yesterday, he really wouldn't have thought of this.

"You can have as many beets as you want in the future." Han Jin said very plainly, he didn't have the arrogance that he usually said when he said this kind of thing, this is not a good thing, he can only let Xiangxiang eat this thing, what is so good.

Zhou Lanxiang didn't know what he was thinking, but she could also see that he didn't like these beet lumps, and when he went to work, she and Xiaoshan cleaned up a few pots, one pot was cooked and dried beets were made, and the remaining big pot was put into the pot to boil, and the beets were thoroughly cooked and crushed and filtered, and finally the pot of sweet water was boiled into a small pot of thick and sweet syrup.

The tortillas are cut into thin slices, baked on the stove until the skin is burnt and fragrant, smeared with a layer of sugar syrup, and the bite clicks softly in the mouth, crispy and sweet, and the burnt dough has the unique sweetness of beets, and Koyama nods his head before he has time to swallow it, it is so delicious!

Zhou Lanxiang also felt that this syrup was boiled better than usual, she used the water of the space, not only to make the sweetness of the beets and the unique fragrance of the beets to the extreme, but also to the mushy taste that could not be avoided when boiling sugar.

The brigade has a kind of beet year, the production team of the diligent people almost every family boiled syrup, but the conditions at home are limited, the rural people do not eat finely, few people have the patience to watch the stirring pot all the time, the syrup boiled out is not only paste, there will be a strong bitterness in the sweetness. Even if she keeps watching, she can't avoid it, but it's just a little better than others.

Zhou Lanxiang looked at the deep amber syrup, a person of her age couldn't help but put a spoonful in her mouth when she smelled it, eating it was really better than the sugar cubes sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives, and it was not even worse than the honey jam she had eaten in her previous life!

Zhou Lanxiang took out a clean glass canned bottle, filled a bottle of syrup, and filled a small pot of dried beets, put it in a small basket, and carried it to her mother's house.

She has been out of the confinement for several days, and she has always wanted to go back to see, not to see her parents, but to see her eldest brother and sister-in-law and two little nieces.

Since her sister-in-law entered the door, Zhou Lanxiang's sister and brother have not had a good relationship with her. The relationship has gotten worse and worse over the years, and a lot of things have happened later, and in their previous lives, until Zhou Lanxiang and Xiaoshan entered the city, their relationship did not ease.

The eldest brother also went farther and farther away from them, and in the end, there was almost no contact between relatives.

Zhou Lanxiang has been thinking a lot these days, and her relationship with her sister-in-law is poor, and both of them have problems. The sister-in-law has been married to the eldest brother for nine years, and she can't look down on her and Xiaoshan when she enters the door, and she can't see Zhou Lanxiang staying at Grandpa Han's house every day, only doing some work at home every day.

Although Grandpa Han gave the family more money and food a year than she earned by working in the production team, in addition to these, she hardly ate at home, and Grandpa Han also wrapped all her clothes and pocket money. It's equivalent to taking her salary from the family but not having to spend a penny on her!

But the sister-in-law still can't get used to her: "Pampered like a big lady!" Don't see if you have that life! "My sister-in-law scolded her in private more than once, she was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl at that time, she couldn't scold or quarrel, and she was afraid of being embarrassed and didn't want others to know, of course, her relationship with her sister-in-law became very bad.

Later, the sister-in-law was disgusted with the tuition money, and encouraged her father and mother not to let Xiaoshan go to school, and even made a fuss in the team when Xiaoshan was promoted to junior high school, and she didn't want Xiaoshan to borrow money from the team to pay for tuition.

That was the first time she had quarreled with someone in her life, and she teamed up with her eldest sister Zhou Lanye to beat her sister-in-law!

For the sake of the eldest brother, the sister-in-law scolded her in private that she endured it, Xiaoshan studied so well, she didn't even let Xiaoshan go to school, which she couldn't bear anyway! Besides, Xiaoshan didn't use her to go to school!

Since then, her relationship with her sister-in-law has been like an enemy, the eldest brother and the two little nieces in the family can scold her for a few days when she says a word to her, and slowly her relationship with her eldest brother and little niece will be divided, and she will not even have a good time in her life.

Calm down and think about it, there is something wrong with the sister-in-law, but she looks at it from the standpoint of a sister and sister-in-law, and if you look at it from the standpoint of the sister-in-law, things are very different.

Back then, she only saw the grievances of herself and Xiaoshan and the greed and even malice of her sister-in-law, but she didn't see clearly the situation of her family and the difficulties of her sister-in-law as a daughter-in-law and mother.

At that time, Grandpa Han gave the family a lot of money and food, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law had never separated from their parents, and they were given to the family on the surface, but she didn't know until she saw her previous life in her dream that the money and food had allowed her father and mother to help the "poor people" around them, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law didn't get it at all.

Daddy's reason is also very reasonable: Xiaoxiang doesn't eat at home, so there is no need to keep her rations, and no one cares how her father and mother want to spend the money she earns!

So for the sister-in-law, she can still earn work for the family when she goes to work in the production team, but going to Grandpa Han's house is not good for her at all.
