Wu Shufen patted her shoulder with relief: "Your father and I don't want your filial piety, as long as you live well, we can rest assured." ”

She thought that no matter what they said before, this girl was as tough as a cow, and she would never admit her mistake and promise. Her three uncles and grandmothers all said that she had changed, and it seemed that she had really changed.

The mother and daughter chattered for a while before lying down and sleeping.

The next day, as soon as the tweeter sounded, Lin Lan and Wu Shufen made sweet potato porridge, cut the salted vegetables and fried them with last night's back to the pot.

After the two brothers of the Lin family ate, they hurried to leave.

Lin Lan sent them to the mouth of the alley, and the brothers whispered to her to be careful in trading, and said that they would go back and find a puppy for her, so they left with the bamboo basket.

When Lin Lan returned home, she saw that Wu Shufen had already washed the pots and bowls, fed the pigs, and locked the chickens in the vegetable patch that had just been dug up in the backyard to eat the insects.

Little Bean took a wooden stick and pried the earthworm out of the soil, saying that it was to feed the chickens

Lin Lan lifted the back and held a sharpened sickle: "Mom, I'm going to work." ”

"Okay." Wu Shufen came out of the house with a mosquito net, "I'm looking at Xiaodouzi at home, don't panic and cut slowly." ”

Lin Lan saw that she couldn't be idle for a moment, so she took the mosquito net out of her hand in the past, touched a few yuan and put it in her hand: "It's rare for you to come once, go to the third uncle and grandmother to talk and go shopping, and I'll wash it when I come back." ”

Wu Shufen smiled and stuffed the money back into her hand: "Mom, don't want it now, give it to me when you make a lot of money." ”

Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "Okay!" You go to the streets, I'm at work. ”

"Go ahead!"

Wu Shufen sent her to the gate of the hospital, only then turned around and went back to boil hot water and soak the mosquito net with soap.

Remembering that there was not even a warm water bottle in the house, he called Xiaodouzi and went to the third uncle's grandmother's house, and the three of them went to the street together.

Lin Lan carried the back to the edge of the fish pond and saw Lao Chen standing on the ridge to spread grass and feed the fish.

When the two of them crossed over, Lao Chen whispered, "Xiaolin, if it's convenient, can you send me a bowl of porridge that day?" I give money to buy! ”

I don't know where I got the grain that the brigade gave him this time, and there was more chaff than rice. When he ate it, his stomach was upset.

"I'll give it to you tomorrow morning." Lin Lan responded in a low voice and walked straight towards the foot of the mountain.

Zou Zhonggui hid in the bamboo forest at the corner of Niubei Mountain, looked at Lin Lan who walked to the foot of the mountain, his eyes were straight, and he muttered, "No wonder Liu Jinbao is thinking about it, Yang Laoqi's short-lived ghost is not blessed!" ”

Lin Lan put down her back and felt a malicious gaze and looked at herself. She jerked her head up and saw someone walking over from the bamboo forest.

Lin Lan clenched the sickle and chased towards the bamboo forest, only to see a tall man dressed in gray clothes, hurrying towards the direction of the second team.

Lin Lan turned around and went to the fish pond: "Uncle Chen, have you seen a tall man in gray clothes coming here." ”

"No, I went to mow the fishgrass in the morning and didn't see anyone coming." Lao Chen looked at her worriedly, "What's wrong?" ”

Lin Lan shook her head: "It's okay, maybe I'm too sensitive." ”

She returned to the bottom of the mountain and began to mow the grass, but there was a faint uneasiness in her heart.

She thought of what Liu Jinbao, a second-rate son, said that day: Lao Tzu doesn't believe that you will carry a knife at any time. Thinking about getting a knife to carry with you just in case.

Suddenly she remembered that when she was looking for the quilt in the cabinet that day, she seemed to see a switchblade, and she decided to go back and find it and take it with her.

*****

Zou Zhonggui took a turn in the second team of Lexing, went to the storage room of the Lexing team, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Liu Jinbao holding tongs and pulling in the enamel basin.

Liu Jinbao looked up and saw Zou Zhonggui, and smiled: "Old man Zhao from the storage room went to the banquet, I got some peanuts and sweet potatoes just baked, and you came!" ”

Zou Zhonggui walked in with a smile: "Liu San, you have a good life!" ”

"There's a lot to eat in the storage room!" Liu Jinbao dialed some peanuts in front of him, "Have you gone to Niubei Mountain to see that stinky girl?" ”

Zou Zhonggui nodded: "I can go, but you have to give me half of the money first, you can't go empty-handed for the first time!" ”

Liu Jinbao thought for a while: "I'll give you half of it first, and I'll give you the rest after the matter is completed." ”

Zou Zhonggui nodded happily: "Deal!" ”

Liu Jinbao looked at him with a smile: "I'll go to your house tonight for you." ”

"Okay, I'll take a look at where Mr. Yang's family lives."

"Go out of the storage room and turn left across the canal, and the second stone bridge is facing the house."

Zou Zhonggui nodded, grabbed a handful of peanuts in his pocket, took a piece of roasted sweet potato out of the storage room, and walked towards Lin Lan's house.

After crossing the canal, I walked to the second stone bridge, glanced at the courtyard facing the stone bridge, remembered the location and walked straight away.

****

Lin Lan sent the cow grass back to the cowshed, and went back to put the wormwood and tree leaves on her back and went home to finish the work.

When I opened the courtyard door, I saw mosquito nets drying in the yard and dirty clothes that had been changed.

Xiaodouzi ran over happily when she saw her come back: "Grandma, mom is back." ”

Lin Lan held his little hand: "Is Xiaodouzi well-behaved today?" ”

Xiaodouzi nodded: "Mom, you squat." ”

"What for?" Lin Lan squatted down and said.

Xiaodouzi took out a piece of mint candy from her pocket and put it in her mouth with a smile: "Grandma, grandma, let's go to the department store together." ”

Lin Lan rubbed his head: "Is the department store fun?" ”

Xiaodouzi took Lin Lan's hand and nodded happily: "It's fun, grandma bought a lot of things." ”

Lin Lan entered the house and saw Wu Shufen busy in front of the stove with her waist tied, so she hurriedly stepped forward: "Mom, you rest for a while, let me come." ”

Wu Shufen smiled: "The meals are all ready, go wash your face and eat." ”

"Hey!" Lin Lan felt that the days of having a mother were different, and when she returned home, she was no longer a cold pot or a cold stove, she had food to eat and hot water to wash her face: "Mom, when you go to the department store, is it lively?" ”

Wu Shufen smiled and nodded: "It's lively, it's much more lively than the town, there are so many things on the shelves that your eyes can't see it."

There are also many people who buy things, and some people buy TV sets for dramas and boxes with ice, saying that they can hold meat and vegetables when they are plugged in, and they will not break for a long time. ”

Lin Lan felt that the box containing the ice should be the refrigerator: "The department stores in the city can't be compared with the ones in our town." When we make money, we will also buy TV sets for dramas and boxes for ice. ”

Wu Shufen shook her head happily: "If you buy that thing, it is better to build a few big tile houses." Besides, we don't have tickets, and we can't buy them with money. ”

Lin Lan smiled: "Maybe when we make money, we can buy it without a ticket." ”

Wu Shufen nodded and shook her head: "It doesn't matter if it wants a ticket or not, even if I have money, I am reluctant to buy it." ”

Lin Lan helped bring the scooped meal to the table: "I don't have money now, don't think about it, you can decide whether to buy it or not when you have money." ”

The three of them sat down around the small wooden table, and Wu Shufen scooped the egg custard into the small bean bowl: "Good grandson, eat more egg custard and grow tall." ”
