Lin Lan raised her hand and picked a flower from the wall of her house, threw it on the ground and crushed it with her feet, and smiled at her evilly: "Remember the surname Zhang, it's not more than three things, and next time, my aunt and grandmother will let you understand why the flowers are so red!" "Say goodbye and leave.

Zhang Yazhen waited for Lin Lan to leave, took three steps and two steps to the gate of the courtyard, quickly closed the courtyard door, and fell in a cold sweat against the door panel.

Lin Lan came out of the gate of Xiong's courtyard and saw He Cuicui's back in a hurry, and she didn't bother to look at her and went straight home.

Zhao Dehai and the three of them came down from the roof, and Master Xu in the back smiled: "It won't take an afternoon to complete." ”

"I'm sorry for you." Lin Lan said gratefully.

Zhao Dehai nodded politely: "Don't bother, her aunt and we're leaving." ”

"Walk slowly!" Lin Lan politely sent a few steps.

After the three of them left, Lin Lan picked up some taro in her pocket and picked up some broken tiles in the yard.

Go down to the edge of the ditch, put the basket in the water and shake it back and forth, the taro and tiles roll together, and the taro scalp falls off quickly.

Lin Lan put the basket flat so that the taro scalp stuck to the basket floated away with the water, and cleaned it up with a knife.

Go home and cut the taro into thick slices, stir-fry it with lard in the pot, add water, cover the pot and start to simmer the taro rice.

The remaining two lumps of Xuewang and a handful of pea tips made a Xuewang soup.

When I went out and walked to the yard, I saw that the sown vegetable seeds were ready to be transplanted.

Now she recognized carrots, green onions, cabbage, cabbage, tomatoes, spinach, and carminerals.

The planted artichoke, rape, eggplant, sea pepper and side vegetables are also alive. Cowpeas, green beans, cucumbers, winter melons, and pumpkins all climbed up the melon stand, and the sunflowers placed in the rotten clay pots on the edge of the yard dam also sprouted green.

A few leaves grew from the ramie under the courtyard wall, and the courtyard became beautiful.

Lin Lan thought that she had cleaned up the two mouthy mothers-in-law today, and she was not going to go to the garment factory to find a stall, so she was going to sell her things early today and come back early to plant vegetables and seedlings.

There are also some taro given by Yang Liying, which has already sprouted, she wants to plant another row of taro in the artichoke ditch, and also wants to sprinkle a circle of small greens on the edge of the rapeseed field, and when the rapeseed greens are harvested, she can make salt vegetables.

Lin Lan planned all the corners around the yard in her mind, only to find that she had arrived at the back door of the old lady's house, and saw that the old lady and Xiaodouzi were already sitting at the table to eat.

She smiled and said, "Uncle, you're all starting to eat!" ”

The old lady nodded happily: "Yes! Go back, we're all going to eat. ”

"Huh! Then I'll go back, and Xiaodouzi will eat obediently. ”

"Got it!" Xiaodouzi said loudly, "Mom, remember to give rhubarb a meal." ”

"Okay, I'm not going to starve rhubarb."

Lin Lan came back from the old lady's house for dinner, and Zhao Dehai and the two masters came. She hurriedly brought the food to the cupboard and put it away, and the lid of the pot was closed.

The three of them stood in the courtyard and waited for her to clean up, and went to the roof to get busy.

Lin Lan came out of the stove room and thought of the few rooms she had picked up, which were full of dust falling from the roof.

I turned around and went to the firewood room to find a long bamboo pole, and found a worn-out feather duster tied to the bamboo pole, and carried it back to the room.

I found a pillow towel in the cabinet and wrapped it around my head, and held a bamboo pole to sweep away the dust and cobwebs on the beams, rafters, and purlins.

After the dust on the roof was cleaned, the oil on the top of the bed on the shelf was pulled off, placed in the courtyard, and went back to tear off the rotten newspaper that was pasted on the window.

I went to the ditch and came back with a bucket of water, found a rag and wiped the inside and outside of the three main rooms, stood in the house and looked around, and felt that it was a lot brighter.

The house was cleaned up, Lin Lan cleaned the yard and the back of the house, and then dragged the oilcloth to the edge of the ditch to scrub it out, and when she was all cleaned up, she saw that there were children carrying schoolbags to school one after another.

Lin Lan said to Zhao Dehai, who came down to get the tiles: "Third brother-in-law, I have to go and mow the grass, when I come back, I am afraid that you will be finished, I will give you the salary first, and you will help me give it to the two masters." ”

Zhao Dehai nodded: "The tiles are two cents and five pieces, the master doesn't care about three yuan a day, you can give me one more yuan." ”

Lin Lan knew that Zhao Dehai was helping for nothing, so she didn't say much, took a dollar to him, and smiled gratefully: "I'm sorry for you, third brother-in-law." ”

In this era, three tiled houses are only a few hundred yuan, and relatives and friends who mainly come to help with the work will not charge your wages. If you want to give money, people will think that you look down on him and want to break off his relationship.

Zhao Dehai grinned and showed a mouth full of white teeth: "They are all relatives, as long as they can help you speak." He felt that as long as Lin Lan didn't do it and didn't go to his family Liying to borrow money, he had the strength, and it wouldn't be a matter to work.

"Then you're welcome." Lin Lan smiled happily, and gave him the key again: "Please give the key to your uncle and grandmother later, and I'll go to her house to get it after work." Also, you asked the third sister to take the time to come to my house, and I have something to say to her. ”

Zhao Dehai smiled and nodded: "Originally, she said that she would come to see it in the afternoon, but the second aunt came to the house and called her away, and I will tell her when she comes back." With that, he climbed up the wooden ladder with his basket.

"Wait until she's done!" Lin Lan went to the firewood room and went to the foot of the mountain with a sickle on her back, put down her back, and bent down with a sickle and cut it.

At noon, the sun shone on the earth hotly, and the rough spear edge of the oat grass crossed the back of the hand, leaving traces one after another, and then it was stained with sweat and scorched pain.

took out a handkerchief to wipe a handful of sweat, sped up to cut out the cow grass in the afternoon and piled it aside, ran several times in a row, carried the cow grass back and spread it out in the drying field, and went home with the back.

The courtyard door was open, and when Lin Lan entered, she saw the old lady sitting on a small stool cutting beans, and she stepped forward with a smile: "Uncle, you are here!" ”

The old lady nodded: "People are old, they sleep a lot during the day and can't sleep at night, if Douzi wants to sleep, I will simply bring him back, and if I have to doze off again, I will help you cut the beans to kill time." ”

She said as she took out the key from her pocket and handed it to Lin Lan, "Zhao Dehai gave me the key, and I picked up the roof and helped you pass the chimney." ”

Lin Lan took it and stood in the courtyard and looked at the roof after the pick-up, and said with a satisfied smile: "The third brother-in-law and the two masters work neatly and meticulously. ”

"To do the work of craftsmanship is to be neat, meticulous, rough and rough, and grind foreign workers, who dares to find him."

"That's what you said."

Lin Lan poured water and scrubbed it, took out the pillow towel and wrapped her hair, cleaned the dust in the stove room with a bamboo pole, scrubbed the stove and cupboard, and began to cook red beans and steam white beans.

She put the soaked red beans under the retort, put the big white beans in the retort, the red bean paste was cooked, and the big white beans were also steamed and raked, killing two birds with one stone.
