Lin Tong brought the dumplings into the inner room and beckoned Huzi to eat first, Huzi shook his head sensibly, "Auntie, I'll wait for my sister and brother to come back and eat together." ”

Lin Tong touched his head, "Okay, I'll put this first, you can eat when you're hungry, and they'll be back soon." ”

When I returned to the kitchen and was about to cook the second pot, I heard Xiaoshu shouting as he walked inside: "Xu Nian, Huzi, have you eaten?" Let's go out and have fun...... Oops, dumpling ......" swallowed hard, and Lin Tong, who had a loud voice, was clear.

Xiaoshu pursed his lips, leaned in front of the pot, and swallowed his saliva vigorously, "Auntie, your guys eat so well, today is not the New Year's holiday, and you still have dumplings to eat!" ”

Lin Tong saw that Xiaoshu's harazi was about to drip out, so he smiled helplessly and asked him, "Xiaoshu, you haven't eaten yet?" ”

Xiaoshu sniffed vigorously, his eyes staring at the dumplings on the curtain, "My mother hasn't made it yet......"

Lin Tong thought about it, took a bowl, and went into the house to pick up a bowl of dumplings from the basin, "Xiaoshu, you can take these dumplings back and eat them, thinking about sending the bowl back to me tomorrow!" ”

Xiaoshu grinned happily: "Thank you, Auntie, I'll send the bowl over in a while." ”

"Don't worry, just bring it tomorrow, it's not too early today, don't come out when you go home." Lin Tong sent him out, turned around and went home to cook dumplings.

The little tree monkey hurriedly grabbed a dumpling and put it in his mouth, "It's so fragrant, it's delicious!" While muttering and eating, he returned home and asked An Xiu for credit with a bowl, "Look, the dumplings that Aunt Xu gave me!" ”

An Xiu's throat moved, and she reached out to grab the dumplings, but Xiaoshu flashed wit with the bowl and emphasized: "The dumplings that Auntie gave me." ”

An Xiu scolded: "I'm your mother, how can I eat a dumpling from you, can I taste whether her bag is not as delicious as mine?" ”

Xiaoshu said unhappily: "No, there is a lot of meat in Auntie's dumplings, but they are fragrant, they are delicious, much stronger than what you wrapped." ”

After thinking about it, he said, "You fought with your aunt, are you embarrassed to eat your aunt's things?" ”

This bear kid actually understands everything.

In order to protect food, his mother was speechless.

An Xiu raised his hand to hit him, but his hand waved in the air but did not fall, "Okay, okay, look at your little picking, I don't have to eat it." ”

Watching her son enter the house with a bowl, she was amused and angry.

Then I was a little stunned, what the hell did this Lin Tong think, with such a relationship between the two, she was willing to give her children such a good meal, and she didn't know if it was stupid?

Lin Tong didn't know An Xiu's careful thoughts, although Xiaoshu was a little domineering, except for snatching Xu Nian's candy on the first day, these children played well together at other times.

Lin Tong thought for a while and beckoned Huzi to come over, "You send this bowl of dumplings to Chang Wei." ”

Huzi agreed, and walked away with the dumplings.

"Fortunately, there are a lot of bags, otherwise there won't be enough to give!" Lin Tong lit cold water into the pot, covered the pot, and waited for the dumplings to boil next.

Yujiao and Xiao Nian sent dumplings back, the plate was not empty, Liu Ailian filled a plate of peanuts for them and brought it back.

"This is given by the eldest mother. We all said no, she had to give it. Xiao Nian was quick to speak, and hurriedly said: "The eldest mother also said thank you mother, and the eldest mother also praised me and Sister Yujiao for their ability." ”

"Yes, Yujiao, Xiao Nian and Huzi can do it." Lin Tong asked, "Then did you thank your aunt for the peanuts?" ”

"Thank you."

Yujiao looked into the house, "Hey, auntie, where did Huzi go?" ”

"I asked him to deliver a bowl of dumplings to Chang Wei." Lin Tong pointed to a small basin, in which she put two plates of dumplings, "Yujiao, you can send this to Aunt Yuzhi again." ”

"Mom, do we still have dumplings at home?" Xiao Nian was a little anxious, why did he send so much?

Will he still be able to eat dumplings?

Lin Tong smiled and rubbed his little face, "Mom has a lot of bags, and there are a lot of them, enough for our Xiao Nian and my brothers and sisters to eat." ”

Xiao Nianxiao's face flushed, "Does that mother have dumplings to eat?" ”

"Mom has it too." Whenever she saw that this child cared about her, Lin Tong's heart was full of pride and joy.

After a while, Chang Wei came back after Huzi, "Auntie, my mother asked me to thank you." ”

Lin Tong smiled, "No thanks, go back and eat, the dumplings won't taste good after a while." ”

When Zhang Yuzhi saw the dumplings, she had always been very thick-skinned, and her eyes were red.

These days, she has eaten a lot, and she can see that Lin Tong doesn't like her very much, but she still sent her so many dumplings, can she not be moved?

In addition to Sister Guilian, Xiao Lin also regarded her as a person.

"You two eat quickly, I'll go thank you Aunt Xu." She walked to the door and thought about it before coming back, and sat down to eat the big dry and hard cake next to her with pickles, but she didn't move the dumplings.

"Mom, do you eat it too? These dumplings are fragrant, a lot of oil. ”

Zhang Yuzhi's two sons, one is eleven and the other is nine years old, who are older than Xu Nian, and they can't play with them. The two of them were black and thin, and they looked malnourished at first glance.

"Mom doesn't eat it, you can eat it!" Zhang Yuzhi felt that there was liquid in his mouth, which was greedy, and picked up the big cakes and pickles and walked to the kitchen.

The youngest son grabbed a dumpling, grabbed her arm with one hand, and stuffed it into her mouth, "Mom, you taste it, I haven't eaten dumplings with so much meat and so much oil, it's so delicious." ”

Zhang Yuzhi shook his head and avoided his son's hand, "Mom doesn't eat your ......"

The dumplings were stuffed inside.

"Mom, so much, you can eat! My brother and I couldn't eat either. ”

"Well, it's fragrant, you eat quickly, I'm still alive!" Zhang Yuzhi straightened his face.

The mouth slowed down the speed of chewing, this is the most fragrant dumpling she has ever eaten in her life.

This kind of memory has been with her until she is old, and every time she eats dumplings, she thinks of the mutton-stuffed dumplings sent by Lin Tong......

The dumplings that should be delivered were all delivered, and Lin Tong took the three children and sat around the kang table to eat dumplings happily.

Several children ate with their mouths full of oil, and they shouted vigorously that it was delicious.

Lin Tong saw that the children were rushing to eat, so he had to keep telling them to slow down and stop choking.

In his previous life, his grandfather always said with a satisfied face, "It's not as delicious as dumplings, it's better to be comfortable than upside down", Lin Tong has always scoffed, no matter how delicious the dumplings are, they can still have crabs that are delicious, and they can be more attractive than hot pot?

But at this time, Lin Tong touched his slightly bulging belly, and for the first time felt that his grandfather's words were very reasonable.

Zhang Yuzhi came again, for the first time, she didn't say anything nice, but her eyes were more alive than before, Lin Tong's house was cleaned up, but in the corner of the vegetable garden, there were some broken wood, Lin Tong didn't know how to get it, and she didn't want to open it, she took a saw, sawed the wood into a cut, and then spent a few days chopping it into firewood and stacking it neatly in the corner.

Lin Tong said that she had said several times, but Zhang Yuzhi's gratitude in his heart turned into action, Lin Tong couldn't persuade him, so he didn't persuade him, but he would cook more every day, and let Zhang Yuzhi take it back to eat with the children.

This is also an equivalent exchange!

Lin Tong has money in his hands, and he doesn't care about those things to eat, now there are more and more stalls outside, and many things can be bought without going to the supply and marketing cooperatives to spend a little more money outside.

And Zhang Yuzhi worked hard to get food, so she didn't have to go hungry with her son, and she was very grateful to her in her heart.

However, Zhang Yuzhi's behavior, in the eyes of others, has all kinds of ideas.

It didn't take long for a saying to circulate among the family members in this area: Lin Tong bullied Zhang Yuzhi and asked her to work for herself every day.

As Lin Tong said, the reason why there are many rumors is because of idleness.

These people have nothing to do all day long, the east and west families are short, and they get together to talk about these, and things that have no shadow can be passed on with noses and eyes.

It has been more than ten days since Zhang Guilian left, Lin Tong asked her to come back soon, she bought some mung beans, and was going to make less mung bean cakes, so she took them to the supply and marketing cooperatives to push them first.

Although she is very sure that she can sell, she must also be able to find a market, otherwise she will not have time to set up a stall outside all day!

"Sister Yuzhi, do you know where the mill is?" Lin Tong knows that like Zhang Guilian, she lives a better life, in addition to her careful budgeting, her hometown will also send her some food from time to time, and they all take it to the mill to grind rice and noodles.

"You know, what are you doing with the mill? I've been there with Sister Guilian several times. ”

"I have a bit of mung beans here, and I want to grind them into mung bean noodles."

Zhang Yuzhi looked at it and smiled, "This bit of mung bean is not worth going to other people's mills." In this way, I know an aunt who has a stone mill at home, so let's just go to her house. ”

Lin Tong didn't understand this, "Stone mill? Okay, no matter what you grind, you can grind it. ”

The two took Xu Nian to the town.

Walking through the town, the aunt's house lived quite far away.

Zhang Yuzhi said: "Coincidentally, once I met in the supply and marketing cooperative, my aunt listened to my accent and asked me where I was. ”

When they came to a mud house, Zhang Yuzhi stepped forward and pushed open the door and shouted, "Auntie, is Auntie at home?" ”

A dark and thin old lady in her fifties came out of the house, "Yuzhi, why do you have time to come to Auntie's house?" Who is this girl? ”

Lin Tong stepped forward and greeted his aunt with a smile, "My name is Lin Tong, you can just call me Xiaolin." ”

"Xiaolin is also from the northeast, and he is a military family like me."

The aunt hurriedly let them in, "Hurry up and sit in the house, this girl is so handsome!" This is your son, who looks like you! ”

Zhang Yuzhi almost didn't come up in one breath, you are like her, you are not related by blood, what is it like?

But she couldn't say this, she saw that Lin Tong was smiling and didn't look angry, and busily diverted the topic, "Auntie, we came to borrow your stone mill to grind some mung bean flour." ”

"Okay, use it, will you use it, I'll grind it for you!" The old lady was welcoming.

Zhang Yuzhi smiled, "No, I will, I often use it in my hometown." ”

Lin Tong wouldn't use this, seeing Zhang Yuzhi pushing and grinding hard, she was busy going over to help.

There are not many mung beans, but the two of them are sweating profusely after pushing it.

Zhang Yuzhi smiled self-deprecatingly, "It turns out that this little work is where it is, but now it's really not good, if you don't work, you can't do it." ”
