Chapter 431: A Poor and Happy Childhood
"Thank you, Brother Yong, Arlene likes it, and I definitely like it too." Yang Yan's answer was very ingenious. She was telling Ye Xiu that Lin Lin would block wine for me, and I was willing to eat everything Lin Lin liked.
"Steamed duck eggs with red snails, beef pot with ginger and shallots, sauerkraut with jumping fish, white-cut chicken, sand yellow skin noodles ......" Every time a dish is served, Qi Yong introduces it to Yang Yan.
"Brother Yong, this is all good things we like. Come, wife, try them all. This is the first time Lin Lin has called Yang Yan his wife in public, and the meaning is self-evident.
Lin Lin said as she picked up vegetables for Yang Yan.
"Hey, let's eat together." Lin Lin didn't forget to greet the others.
"Hmm...... Tsk, fresh, sweet, tender and smooth. Eating steamed duck eggs with red snails, Yang Yan was full of praise.
"Eat slowly, these are the most primitive foods, and it is difficult to eat them in Guangcheng."
Nanjiang people are very particular about eating, and "not getting tired of eating" is the characteristic of Guangcheng people. In Jishui Town, the practice of local ingredients is very popular, and it is famous inside and outside Nam Giang Province.
Yang Yan tried every kind of dish, and looked at her expression, looking very enjoyable.
"Wow, husband, I've heard about the food in Jishui Town for a long time, and I tasted it for the first time today, and it really deserves its reputation."
"The white-cut chicken is fragrant, smooth, and very chewy, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes. Also, this sand and yellow skin noodles are simply ...... Delicious food on earth! Delicious food on earth! ”
"Haha, it's still Brother Yong who understands Dean Lin." Seeing them eating so deliciously, Li Shunfa laughed happily.
"Of course, Arlene and I, playing since childhood, I don't know him, who can know him?"
"Oh, Brother Yong, you seem to have a story about Dean Lin, right?" Ye Xiu asked.
Although he couldn't get it, Lin Lin married Yang Yan, and Ye Xiu seemed to be very acceptable. She clearly remembered that Meiyi had mentioned this incident before leaving, and now, she just heard that it had become a reality.
"Now Arlene, everyone knows that he is very good. In fact, when she was a child, Arlene was very powerful. However, when I was a child, I was not good at reading. ”
"Oh, my senior brother when I was a child, where is it powerful?"
"Hey, you might not believe it. As a kid, he was a big player, and he did all the gadgets we played with as kids, and he did it well. ”
"Don't talk about anything else, let's just make kites, we can't fly the kites we do, and in the end, we all have to rely on the help of adults to buy or make kites that can fly."
"And Arlene, he stood next to Brother De next door, watched Brother De make kites a few times, and then immediately did it himself, found materials, and really made it, and even flew higher and more stable than Brother De did."
"At that time, I used to run after him, fly the kite, and then sit together by the Jishui River and control the kite under the blue sky. Hey, that feeling, that's so cool. ”
"And what about ......" Yang Yan's interest also came up.
"And? Hehe, a lot, if you want to say, you can say a few days and nights. However, I'll pick one that no one can think of. ”
"In the past, the water of the Jishui River was clear, and the sand on the north bank was snow-white and soft, and under this snow-white sand, there was a kind of thumb-sized snails, which were actually under the sand and were easy to catch."
"When the river was at low tide, Arlene and I, with dustpans, went from the pier in front of Arlene's house, along the gangplank, to the big wooden boat docked on the shore."
"Jumping over a couple of wooden boats close to each other, we were able to jump onto the beach on the north shore. Arlene and I will be able to catch a small basin snail in a moment. ”
"We took these snails and came to Arlene's house, and Arlene immediately lit a fire and boiled water, and in a short time, we could eat delicious snail meat."
"It's more delicious than everyone eats it now. It's a pity that the current Jishui River has become a stinky ditch, otherwise, I might have to pull Arlene to play a childhood game, and let everyone taste the fresh snails. ”
"Well, no, never again. There are some things that are difficult to protect, but easy to destroy. And, once broken, it can't be repaired. ”
"Come, Arlene, and cheers to our gone, happy childhood!" Qi Yong said, excited, stood up, picked up the wine glass, touched it with Lin Lin's teacup, and then drank it all.
"Brother Yong, if you don't say it, I don't know that Arlene was so greedy when she was a child." Yang Yan said with a smile.
"Director Yang, Dean Lin is not greedy, but in which era, there is nothing to eat at all."
"As the saying goes, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water. Dean Lin's home is on the bank of the Jishui River, and of course Dean Lin will not let go of such conditions. If I'm not mistaken, Dean Lin must be very good at fishing and catching crabs. Li Shunfa is also a native of Jishui Town, and he deeply agrees with Qi Yong's description.
"Aha, it's still amazing. Arlene's fishing and crab catching skills are far from being better than mine. Tsk, the little crab in the stone crevice on the shore is very delicious. Arlene and I, at low tide, often go together to catch them, and when we're lucky, we can catch quite a few. ”
"These little crabs, take them to Arlene's house, wash them, throw them into the pot, put some salt, put some oil, and after cooking, we both eat the shells. Hey, it's drooling just thinking about it. What Qi Yong said seems to be an exaggeration, but in fact, in Lin Lin's memory, this was what happened at that time.
"Dean Lin doesn't usually come back much, right?" Li Qiang, who had been silent, asked.
"Not much, not much, really, maybe less in the future. Alas, once you go out, you can't help yourself. When Lin Lin heard this, she felt a burst of guilt in her heart.
Yes, he really rarely goes home, and even when he does, he comes and goes in a hurry, and the older he gets, the more so.
"Senior brother's words, does it mean that senior brother will go to Guangcheng in the future?" Ye Xiu is very sensitive.
"I don't rule it out." Lin Lin was noncommittal.
"I hope my brother can attend the opening ceremony of our hospital." Ye Xiu smelled something different.
"I will do my best, and please let me know in advance." Lin Lin really didn't know how Wan Yaowen and Zhou Decheng could get things done.
After eating, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Lin and Yang Yan said goodbye to Ye Xiu and them, and drove back home.
Yang Yu and Lu Run were in the living room, drinking tea and watching TV. Lin Lin and Yang Yan went to the room to wash up, change their clothes, and came to the living room together to drink tea and chat with the two old people.
"Lin'er, how are your parents doing?" Yang Yu asked.
"Mom and Dad's health is fine, but the master's body is not as good as before."
"Your master must have been very strong before, right?"
