In the evening, the old house was lively and lively, and the dishes were very rich, and the palm-sized meat was cut into thin shreds and fried a lot of vegetables. Father Lin and his two sons drank happily and pulled some farmers' crops.

Rural people have been facing the loess with their backs to the sky all their lives, and only when talking about crops do they have a shallow flush on Old Man Lin's weather-carved face.

When the two children in the long room saw the fishy meat, they immediately stretched out their chopsticks and poked them into the vegetable bowl as if they were starving to death. Lin Liu knocked out their chopsticks and only let them eat some mixed noodles and steamed buns.

Boss Lin coaxed his son who couldn't stop crying a little inexplicably: "Child, mother, what are you doing?" ”

This happy day can't be ruined, it's going to be unlucky! Most of this meat was lost because his mother-in-law forgot to close the courtyard door, and it was already good that his mother didn't care about it.

"Phew! A room full of black-hearted and rotten intestines, and the meat that the dog has gnawed on is brought to us to eat! The old lady doesn't eat dog leftovers! Eat, eat, eat, whoever gives you dare to eat! Lin Liu knocked over the child's rice bowl, and the "bang" shattered, and the house was in a mess.

Lin Yuan clenched his fists, his teeth chattering. didn't speak at the moment, went to the kitchen in three steps and two steps, packed up a bowl of food, hugged it in his arms, and left without even saying hello. Leaving the second elder of the Lin family, his face was tense and relatively speechless.

His father ...... "Mother-in-law is a little embarrassed, what is clean or not in the countryside?" If you don't eat it cleanly, you won't get sick.

"things, good food can also be practiced, it should really be dragged out and killed! Take your mother-in-law back to the house! Old man Lin looked at Da'er with red eyes, and when he saw his son bowing his head, he could only sigh helplessly and bent his waist with a flat shoulder, and went to water the crops in the field silently.

Wen Wan didn't know the movement of the old house, she got out of bed and lit the lamp, looked at the house with four walls, and sighed. Poor, not poor in general! Not to mention grain, oil, rice and noodles, this leaky low mud house alone is enough for her.

The walls were "poofing" with mud, the table in the room looked like a lame old man who was seriously ill, and the bed in the room was made of wood. In such an environment, it would be good not to be frozen to death in winter, how to raise children?

When the moon was on the willow tops, Lin Yuan walked home quickly and stepped on the shadow of the tree. Seeing Wen Wan standing in the cold wind, she was a little warm and helpless: "What are you doing at night and waiting for me?" Be careful, the wind is cold at night, and the body is frozen. ”

He grabbed her weak and boneless hand bag into the palm of his hand and sighed, and pulled people into the house like a baby.

When she saw the bowl of rice mixed with a few sparse shredded pork in his arms, Wen Wan was a little surprised, wasn't it a whole knife of meat?

Lin Yuan scratched his head: "The meat was taken by the dog, and the sister-in-law forgot to close the courtyard door......"

Without saying a word, he stopped, watching the gentle and silent tears fall, munching on the bowl of dry brown rice.

Lin Yuan's eyes were also red, only to feel that his throat was clogged in a panic, every time he went back to the old house, something would always happen, and this time he didn't even have the meat for his mother-in-law to mend her body!

The two of them didn't say anything, and they washed up and went to bed in a low mood. In order to save money, most of the countrymen blow out the lamp to sleep as soon as it gets dark, get up before dawn, and if they can't sleep, they simply make villains in a messy way.

Wen Wan herself is late, she is aggrieved and worried about something, where can she sleep silently with tears?

"Good mother-in-law, don't cry. Knowing that you are wronged, I have found a livelihood, and I will cut meat for you to eat in these two days. He rolled over and hugged Wen Wan tightly, helping her wipe away the unstoppable tears.

Seeing Wen Wantong's red eyes glaring at him fiercely, Lin Yuan hurriedly smiled at her flatteringly: "Didn't you go to cut meat today, I met Ah Chuan." It was my little hair, and he showed me a paved road. If it can be done, not only can it feed the child in its belly, but also live a fat year. ”

Wen Wan covered her mouth and jumped up in shock, doing business? Now the workers, peasants, merchants, and merchants are the most difficult things to do, and they are one level higher than the ninth-rate beggars. If you don't have a good reputation in business, you can't wear silk, and the children of businessmen can't participate in scientific examinations.

"Look at you, I'm anxious again! Where am I doing business? If you really serve this bowl of rice, it is the foreman, the craftsman, and this! He held Wen Wan in his arms and gave her a thumbs up.

"Besides, Hong Chuan is a fast catcher in the Yamen, if he has no way, or if he doesn't make money here, can he come to me?" He gently patted his mother-in-law's back, like to soothe the fried cat.

Wen Wan was relieved at this time, slid into the quilt and looked at the thatched roof of her house and sighed. Just let him break in, if he doesn't break in, there's no way, is the family waiting to die?

Farming has to pay taxes, it has to be sold, it has to be eaten at home, and when it is good, it can only make people have enough food and clothing, but if you want to get rich, you can't, let alone in a disaster year.

She is a good socialist young man with good roots, she doesn't know any golden fingers, she doesn't know any magic skills, and she is just an authentic peasant woman here.

And the novels she has read are not reality after all. Here, if a woman goes to show up and set up a stall to sell food, her parents are alive and well, and her family has good land, the spittle of the neighbor next door can drown you! Selling recipes? Don't be funny, okay!

"There are still a few dowries of mine in the jewelry box, you can take them tomorrow." She was angry, a man couldn't live without money, all the copper plates in the house were spent, and the only thing worth it was her dowry.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan tightened his embrace, rested his chin on her forehead, and said in a dumb voice, "Silly woman, why are you so willing to give me all the jewelry you have on weekdays?" Don't worry, it's not that far, I have my own way, go to sleep! ”

In his Lin Yuan's dictionary, earning money to support the family is a man's business, and what does it have to do with a woman. As long as his mother-in-law can warm the quilt for him, she will give birth to a baby.

When Nuan fell asleep and the warm breath sprayed on his face, Lin Yuan helped her tuck the quilt corner and peck her lightly on the forehead, and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Lin Yuan and Hong Chuan went to the agreed Yunlaiju restaurant to meet. I ordered a plate of fried peanuts, a plate of scrambled eggs, a bowl of braised pork and a bottle of flower carving, and muttered and talked about business with a serious face.

"Ah Chuan, what did you tell me yesterday?" Lin Yuan pinched a peanut and threw it in his mouth.

"Hey, nine out of ten! Let me tell you......" Hong Chuan picked up the cup and touched it in front of Lin Yuan, signaling that I was dry, you are free.

The two discussed for a long time, and the wine and food were all in the stomach, before the matter was finalized.

After thinking about it, Lin Yuan waved his hand to call Xiao Er with satisfaction, bought a few more meatloaf to take away, and got up to settle the bill. Hong Chuan grabbed him, "pedaled, pedaled" and ran downstairs to settle the account with the shopkeeper. Lin Yuan was a little helpless, this person always likes to rush to settle the bill, if he doesn't follow it, he will be divided.

So he was not polite to him, patted him on the shoulder, said goodbye at the door of the restaurant, and went home.

When I got home, I saw Wanniang and Chrysanthemum sitting in the courtyard with shoes, and I don't know what to say, the two of them laughed together and trembled. Chrysanthemum's eyes were sharp, and when she saw Lin Yuan coming back, she didn't stay long, so she hurriedly put away the needlework and left.

Lin Yuan politely greeted the people, "Sister-in-law Fang, come and sit again another day!" ”

The surname of the chrysanthemum husband is Fang, and both of them are Shuangli people.

Seeing that people were smiling and walking away, Lin Yuancai squatted in front of the warmth and took out the meat patty wrapped in yellow paper from his arms. A burst of crispy fragrance penetrated into her gentle mouth and nose, making her sniff involuntarily.

"Ah, Yunlaiju's meatloaf!" The restaurants in the town are the largest and most magnificent, and Yunlaiju is the most famous with its meatloaf, which can be called a golden signboard.

Lin Yuan brought it to her once, and since then it has become Wen Wan's favorite, that taste! The skin is crispy and the meat is fragrant, the skin is thin and the filling is tender, the bite is shiny and the oil is bubbling, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant.

The most important thing is affordability! Not to mention the large amount, but also willing to give the ingredients, just take a bite, "squeak" two soft sounds, the rich gravy can be mixed with the pie crust into the mouth, burnt, salty and sweet mixed together, so delicious that people's tongue swallows.

As long as she goes out, Lin Yuan must bring her some snacks to eat. In the village, only Wen Wan didn't have to roll up her trouser legs to go to the ground, because Lin Yuan said that he could afford his mother-in-law.

Lin Yuan saw that she had an appetite and ate happily, and couldn't help but wipe the oily corners of her mouth with his sleeve: "Eat slowly, don't choke." I know that you are good at this bite. I really don't know who I followed? I don't love clothes, I don't love jewelry, I love to eat! ”

Wen Wan bit the cake and glared at him: "If you don't like to eat, can you be coaxed away with a few small dried fish that are not enough to stuff your teeth?" ”

After she finished eating and licked the corners of her mouth, Lin Yuan took the needle and thread in her arms and led her to the kitchen to help her wash her hands.

"Done?" Wen Wan asked the man who lowered his body to help her wash his hands, and seeing his brisk steps, she guessed that the negotiation was about to be completed.

"Well, it's just that there is a shortage of capable people who can build houses, don't worry, look for it slowly!" If you inquire in various villages and towns, you will always find it.

Wen Wan patted his head and smiled proudly: "Silly you, isn't this capable person right in front of you?" ”

Lin Yuan straightened up and looked her up and down, then shook his head and smiled: "You? ”

It's really not gentle blowing! Her adoptive father in her last life was a foreman who built houses in the countryside, and she has been looking at this idea for more than 20 years. Haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run? She took out a charred wooden stick from the stove and dragged Lin Yuan to the courtyard to make a gesture.

"Come on, come on, you come with me, I'll talk about you today!" Gentle and imposing, swearing.

Lin Yuan thought that she was capable, but he couldn't help but think about cooperating with her. Seeing that she really looked at the ground to measure the ground, how to lay the foundation, and how to build the wall, she looked down and sat on the small stool to listen to her detailed explanation.

The breeze was blowing, the night was as cool as water, and the dim light cast a quiet room.
