Chapter 148: Life is getting better
Xiaodouzi, who has not yet obtained a name, tilted his head and looked at Grandma, he also wanted a new name, and the little guy said in a milky voice: "Grandma, what is the name of Xiaodouzi?" ”
Jiang Yan pinched his little milk fat and said dotingly: "A few days ago, Grandma heard a sentence and thought it was very good, I was born by nature, and I am here?" named after you, Xiaodouzi will be called Lin Chen'an in the future, which means good days and good luck. ”
It is generally meaningful for people with a bit of culture to take names, even if they are countrymen, they are all for a cheap name to make a living, Jiang Yan does not have much culture, but it is still okay to take a name with meaning.
"Little aunt, this is a word taken from the Book of Songs, it is very smooth, and it is also very suitable for Xiaodouzi." Jiang Wen was holding a book, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a warm voice, and a faint glow on his cheeks.
Jiang Yan nodded: "I've heard you read it a few times, and I thought it was good, so I wrote it down, and Xiaodouzi has also grown up, so it's more convenient to take a big name." ”
"Little aunt......" Jiang Wen wanted to speak and stopped, his eyes fell on Jiang Yan, pursed his lips slightly, and wanted to talk about the academy, but he didn't say anything.
The sun gradually set in the west, and the Lin family's reading sound was loud, and the glow slowly shrouded in light, so that everyone was clothed in a faint layer of crimson orange streamer.
Wang Jinhua and Liu Xiaomeng put away the books in their hands and began to prepare for today's dinner.
During this time, Lao Wu and Lin Yousheng's families occasionally eat here, especially today, when both families come to help in the field, they will naturally come over to eat.
Seeing this, Jiang Yan went to the chicken coop to catch the remaining hen that was specially bought to eat and handed it to Liu Xiaomeng, after this period of edification, the two daughters-in-law have been quite generous in terms of food, and they are not as reluctant as before, as long as Jiang Yan gives them, they will do anything.
The stir-fry also began to give up more oil and salt condiments, and soon under the busy work of several people, dinner was ready.
A pot of radish stewed chicken, a large pot of braised pork, a stir-fried wild vegetables, a fried pork slices with dried mushrooms, and a new oil dun made by Jiang Yan, this is a southern snack, the green onion and radish shreds are wrapped in batter, fried in the oil pan until golden brown, and take it out after filtering the oil, and there is a sizzling oil fragrance.
Jiang Yan picked up a piece of oil and handed it to Erbi and Lin Bei: "Go and call your Uncle Wu and Uncle Lin to dinner." ”
The two of them laughed and ran out of the yard while eating, they have always been positive about eating, they just want to call someone quickly, and then come back to eat.
The simple table in the house was still in use, but it was too small to seat so many people, so the meals were eaten in the courtyard, and the newly bought big table was placed in the courtyard, and everyone could sit down if they were squeezed in.
Before the people arrived, Lin Dong first carried fresh forage to feed the horses and dairy sheep, and Xiaodouzi also filled half a bowl of rice to feed the chickens and ducks, this rice was picked up by himself in the field, and there were too many deflated husks, so Jiang Yan asked him to keep them to feed the chickens and ducks at home.
"Auntie, aren't you going to eat yet?" Shangguan Zixuan ate the oil dun in his hand, but his eyes kept looking at the table, and Wangcai beside him also looked at it.
The taste of the oil dun is mellow and crispy, it is a snack that neither of them has eaten, and they can't stop eating it for a while.
Jiang Yan watched the two of them gnaw on the oil pier in their hands, staring eagerly at the vegetable table, how could there be any image of a noble son, there were only two greedy ghosts left.
In the morning, because of a farce, Shangguan Zixuan was not sent home, and he wanted to stay overnight, so Jiang Yan had to give up.
"After a while, when the uncles who helped with the work today come over, you can start the meal, if you are hungry, you can eat a few fried duns first, I will fry a lot."
As she was saying this, a person carried a basket of things into the yard, Jiang Yan turned around and looked, it was Lin Gensheng, life was better during this time, he raised a little meat, and it was not as terrifying as before.
"Xiao Jiang, I'll send you something." Lin Gensheng smiled honestly, he put down the basket on his back, and inside was a large bag of dried bean curd and a few bags of pastries that were only available at the stall in the town, all of which were stacked squarely wrapped in red paper ties.
Lin Gensheng smiled and moved out and put it aside: "This year's new soybeans have been harvested, thank you for taking care of your family during this time, there is nothing else at home, our newly smoked dried tofu, bring it to you to taste." ”
He said that his face was slightly red, these are some insignificant things, the dried tofu is all smoked by himself, not worth a few dollars, compared to the money that Aunt Jiang made with their family, it is simply insignificant here, worried that the gift is too thin, he went to the town to buy some pastries, so he was embarrassed to carry it.
Jiang Yan didn't push back, let Lin Dong accept it, and she also gave the soap to Lin Gensheng's family at a low price, and when he saw those big bags of pastries, he knew that their business was doing well.
She smiled generously and said, "Thank you, Brother Gensheng, the family hasn't eaten smoked tofu this year, it's just in time for dinner, stay and have dinner together." ”
Lin Gensheng was a little cramped, he was embarrassed to refuse again and again, it was originally a gift, how could he still eat, the food of the Lin family was really good, every time he ate, he felt that he had taken a big advantage, and he was really embarrassed.
Jiang Yan glanced at Lin Xi, and Lin Xi immediately came up and pulled, and left Lin Gensheng behind in a few words.
Not long after, Lin Yousheng and Zhang Yanzi's family arrived at the yard, and the two of them also carried baskets, which were newly picked green leaves: "There are not many green leaves on the mountain recently, and it is difficult to find, so it is estimated that it will be this month." ”
Jiang Yan nodded, green leaf tofu itself is not a long-term business, just a few months a year, and now there are other ways to make a living, even if it stops, it is nothing.
When Lin Bei went to Lao Wu's house, Lao Wu came back with a cart of firewood, and he went to the mountains today to catch a few wild meats and cut some firewood by the way.
He pulled the donkey cart, and the back board was full of a cart of dry firewood, during this time, the Lin family was busy with the autumn harvest, Lin Dong and they did not go up the mountain, and the firewood at home was almost used.
At the dinner table, the big guy ate a lot, and after eating, Jiang Yan continued: "We don't have many paddy fields, the rice in the fields has been harvested, and then we have to start tidying up the paddy fields, let's get our own paddy fields first, and then after the autumn harvest in the village, we will teach the village to sort out the land together, and now it's September, and the matter of late rice is sooner rather than later, too late, it will be delayed." ”
Lao Wu said: "Okay, tomorrow, I'll go to Lizheng to buy two more acres of paddy fields, and clean them up together and plant late rice." ”
Lin Yousheng answered: "Our family won't buy paddy fields, just me and Yanzi, the little land at home just can take care of it, and no matter how much it is, it can't be taken care of." ”
Lin Gensheng also nodded, his family's paddy field also happened to be brought over, if it weren't for the confiscation of the grain in the field before, in order to treat the spring flowers, he almost sold them together.
