Chapter 258: Chu Jiao'er
The courtyard that Chen Ziyang said is not bad, the surroundings are quite secluded, suitable for a person to live alone and cultivate his self-cultivation.
The original owner died for less than a month, and the small courtyard was quite clean, and Li Fenglan liked it very much. After some bargaining, he was finally won by Li Fenglan for one hundred taels.
After buying the house, it was not yet noon.
Chen Ziyang had just helped Li Fenglan put the yard away, he patted the dust on his hands, and said with a smile, "Clean up in the afternoon, add some things, and you can live in the evening."
Li Fenglan said, "Don't worry, it's almost noon, my sister invites you to dinner."
Chen Ziyang scratched the back of his head: "No need, it's not a big deal, and I didn't do much. Besides, you're a guest in Xiangyang, and I haven't invited you yet."
"The children are not very old, but they are very polite. Sister, please please, you don't have much money on you."
Chen Ziyang was a little embarrassed: "My father and mother are strict and usually don't give me any money."
"Let's go, the best restaurant in Shangxiangyang. I just happened to tell my sister about the interesting things in the Xiangyang area."
The two sisters and brothers walked towards the restaurant with a smile. In addition to this cousin, who can't call people, the other Li Fenglan likes it very much. is hot-blooded, can't see bullying, and is very sympathetic, but sometimes his mouth is a little poisonous. It reminded her of someone.
When the two arrived at the restaurant, Li Fenglan ordered a table of good dishes. During this time, she was running around and didn't have much time to eat properly, and now she seized the opportunity and prepared to eat a big meal. Some time ago, she was quite concerned about her figure, but now she has no burden on her, and she feels that she looks good and doesn't know who to show it, so it's better to make herself comfortable first.
Chen Ziyang is not an adult, the last stage of growing his body, yesterday he was hungry for a day, ran all night, and did not eat in the morning, he was hungry for a long time. When the sister and brother saw the food coming up, they didn't care about being polite, and began to take revenge and dry the rice.
Li Fenglan was full after eating, and quietly watched Chen Ziyang gobble up.
"What," Li Fenglan asked, "What do your brothers and sisters call you?"
Chen Ziyang couldn't swallow his food: "They all call me by my nickname."
"What's your name?"
"Handicap...... Eldest sister, you can't call me a little name, I'm fifteen, too small."
"Okay, don't shout."
Chen Ziyanghai ate a bite, put down the dishes and chopsticks to rest for a while, and asked, "Eldest sister, you said that you have nothing to do with Changfeng Lou, and put on an incognito posture, but you reported your real name before others asked you, isn't this meaningless?"
"All said, I'll try if they believe it or not, it's better not to believe it. If you believe me, I'll change places."
"Then when people ask you what your name is, how do you answer?"
Li Fenglan smiled: "I have a fake name, it's called cinnabar, how about it?"
Hearing this name, Chen Ziyang's eyes widened: "You were the one who stirred up the wind and rain in Poyang Lake some time ago?"
Li Fenglan was instantly deflated: "This name has also spread...... After that, my name is Mulan. Also, if you don't want me to call you Panpan, you will honestly call me Sister Lan in the future, do you hear? It's always the eldest sister and the eldest sister, and she looks old."
Chen Ziyang nodded: "Cheng."
After that, he continued to cook.
The two were eating, Li Fenglan suddenly heard the sound of beating and scolding on the street, she looked at the door of the hotel, and saw a pretty woman who looked slightly older than Chen Ziyang was chasing three men and beating.
Chen Ziyang glanced at it and said in surprise, "Come again."
Li Fenglan asked, "Do you know?"
"Her name is Chu Jiao'er, her grandfather has a good relationship with my grandfather, and her father and mother often walk around with our family. Ten years ago, her father and mother died of illness, and my uncle has been raising her."
Li Fenglan asked, "So it has a good relationship with you."
Chen Ziyang's eyes dodged: "It's okay, just ordinary brothers and sisters."
Li Fenglan smiled secretly, and asked, "She is fighting with people, don't you go and take a look?"
"Don't worry, she's got some skills.
The three who were beaten by her were local scoundrels, and the dumplings often taught them a lesson, and they were used to being beaten...... Sister, do you still eat it?"
"I don't eat, I'm full."
"Let's go, then."
The two settled the account and came out of the restaurant, just as they saw Chu Jiao'er, who had just beaten someone, walking towards the restaurant angrily.
Before Chen Ziyang could say hello, Chu Jiao'er looked at Li Fenglan and then at Chen Ziyang, and asked, "Who is this sister?" The tone was not good, and Li Fenglan could hear the faintly uneasy vinegar sour taste.
Chen Ziyang replied, "Yesterday I chased those gangsters, and the one I met on the road was named Mulan."
Li Fenglan deliberately wanted to shake the two of them, she leaned towards Chen Ziyang, and said with a smile, "I heard Ziyang talk about you just now, you are Chu Jiao'er's sister, right?"
Seeing Li Fenglan's deliberate intimate actions, which made Chu Jiao'er jealous, she ignored Li Fenglan: "Plates, don't go home to eat at noon, rub other people's food, be careful of auntie scolding you."
Chen Ziyang explained: "I did Sister Mulan a favor, and people invited me to eat, so I can't shirk it."
Chu Jiao'er rolled her eyes and muttered in a low voice: "Return Ziyang, return Sister Mulan, it's so kind."
After speaking, he ignored Chen Ziyang and turned around and walked towards his house.
Li Fenglan held back a smile and pushed Chen Ziyang: "Why are you stupid? Still not catching up? Don't you see people jealous?"
Chen Ziyang wondered: "Jealous? Whose vinegar did you eat?"
"Listen to my sister, hurry up and say a few good words, and make me happy, otherwise you won't be able to please your daughter-in-law for the rest of your life."
"What are you going to do over there?"
"I'm such a big person, I can't take care of myself, huh? Go ahead."
Chen Ziyang hurriedly caught up with Chu Jiao'er, who was angry.
Li Fenglan looked at the back of the young man and the girl, the girl was angry and ignored people, and the young man comforted him like a flatterer, it was obviously a very beautiful picture, but Li Fenglan couldn't help but feel a little envious and jealous.
…
In the afternoon, Li Fenglan bought a lot of things, mattresses, pots and pans were all replaced with new ones, and some new ones were also added to oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, firewood, rice, oil and salt - yes, Li Fenglan wanted to cook and eat by herself.
When she left Yangzhou, she brought some money, saving some money to spend enough for three or five years, but she couldn't keep it all because something happened during this period, and she had no means of making a living for a girl's family, so she had to save money.
After tidying up all afternoon, the small courtyard was finally cleaned up, and I was about to take a rest when I heard a knock on the door.
"Who?"
"Sister Lan, me."
"Come in."
To Li Fenglan's surprise, Chu Jiao'er actually came with her.
Li Fenglan asked, "Why did you come to me?" Didn't I tell you to run to me less in the future."
Chen Ziyang smiled and said, "Others don't know who you are, what are you afraid of?"
Chen Ziyang pointed at Chu Jiao'er: "I told Xiao Dumpling everything about you."
Li Fenglan held her forehead: "It's a child, why can't you hide your words?" I am a plague god, don't go around telling people about it, so as not to get into trouble."
Chen Ziyang shook his head: "Little dumplings are not outsiders."
Chu Jiao'er clenched her fists and said, "I've seen Sister Mulan, my little sister was abrupt at noon, and I hope my sister will forgive me."
Li Fenglan smiled, "What's abrupt?"
Chu Jiao'er blushed.
It seems that this cousin still has some means, and the misunderstanding was resolved in time.
Li Fenglan asked, "What are you doing here at night?"
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that you clean up, if not, we'll help you clean up."
"I'm done taking care of everything, I don't need help...... I said, come over for dinner, do you want to rub me another meal?"
Chen Ziyang hurriedly said, "No, we just let you break the bill at noon, and we are here to help."
Li Fenglan smiled mysteriously, "Sister, I do have a favor that I need your help with."
Li Fenglan didn't know how to cook at all, so she grew up to be in the kitchen
The number of times is only a handful. Now you have to save money, you can't eat out every day, and there is no one around you who can cook, but you have to rely on yourself.
But she was not confident in her cooking, or rather, she didn't know how to cook at all, so that she didn't know what the price of the kitchen was for all these things. When I was shopping in the afternoon, I was cheated by the small traders for a lot of money.
It just so happened that there were two people who were willing to dedicate themselves to trying dishes, and Li Fenglan felt that why not take this opportunity to practice her cooking skills.
As Li Fenglan was busy in the kitchen for more than an hour, four "delicacies" that looked like demons were served to the table.
Looking at the food on the table, the faces of the two children turned green.
In the next three days, the residents of Xiangyang City discovered two very strange things: Miss Chu, who used to chase ruffians and hooligans all over the street, did not go to the street again, as if she was sick. Chen Ziyang, a beautiful boy from Jingshui Street, was also bedridden for three days, and I heard that several doctors went to the family in three days. According to the doctor who used to see the patient, the two children have begun to talk nonsense, and they have been shouting "help", "don't give me food" or something. The family even wanted to go out of the city and ask a Taoist priest to exorcise demons.
…
Li Fenglan has been living in Xiangyang okay these days, except for cooking by herself is really unpalatable, she found that it is not difficult to live alone.
Growing up beside Chen Tong since childhood, the three sisters speak Xiangyang very neatly, living in the city alone, and no one thinks she is a foreigner. Look at the book
Chen Ziyang likes this cousin very much, and runs to her two times in three days, pestering Li Fenglan to tell him the interesting stories he encountered, and sometimes Chu Jiaoer will come with him. Li Fenglan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, she met Ayahan half a year ago, and at that time, Amber pestered Ayahan to talk about the interesting things she encountered, and half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and she became an old man in the eyes of her cousin.
Late at night, Xiangyang City was silent, the lights of thousands of homes were extinguished, and only the stars in the sky emitted a little brilliance.
Li Fenglan sat on the roof of the hall, with a pot of wine and a wine cup in her hand, and she stared blankly at the crescent moon in the sky. It seems that the amount of alcohol he drinks has become higher, and he used to talk nonsense after drinking three glasses, but now he is alone, and he has drunk more than one or two and is not drunk. It is said that the more you drink this wine, the more you drink it, the more sad it becomes?
July is the end, it's going to be August, and in more than half a month, it's going to be a birthday again. It's just that there is no one around for this birthday, and I can't receive any more gifts.
