When Lin Lan came back from work and started cooking, Xiaodouzi came back and looked at her with a smile: "Mom, the teacher said that you went to school to see me." ”

"Hmmm! Mom is worried that you're not feeling well. ”

"It's okay, I'm fine." Xiaodouzi put down her schoolbag, "The teacher said that there would be a ten-day farm vacation, and I agreed with Sister Xiaoyun, Brother Xiaokai, to go to the field in the afternoon to pick up millet and come back to feed the chickens." ”

Lin Lan nodded: "Okay, eat and sleep, put on the straw hat that your grandfather made for you, and carry it on your back." ”

"Hmm!" Little Bean touched her stomach, "I'm hungry." ”

"There is mung bean cake on the table, you eat two to fill your stomach first."

"Hmm!"

Xiaodouzi went to wash his hands, ate mung bean cake, and went to pick up some ramie leaves that Lin Lan cut and put on the eaves and put them in the vegetable basket, and carried them to the backyard to feed the chickens and pick up eggs.

When the two big white geese saw him coming, they ran over with a group of small soldiers, scrambling to eat ramie leaves.

He went to the hut where the chickens laid eggs under the wall, and found a very large egg in one of the coops, picked it up and put it in the basket, and counted it, and there were sixteen eggs in all.

Xiaodouzi returned to the stove room with the eggs: "Mom, look at such a big egg!" ”

Lin Lan turned her head to look at it and said with a smile: "This is a goose egg, Dabai has laid an egg." Mom will give you a steamed goose custard in the afternoon. ”

Xiaodouzi nodded: "Wait for my aunt to come back and eat together." ”

Lin Lan said with relief: "Aunt didn't hurt you in vain. ”

Lin Yuezhen came back at noon with three barrels of oil, a few bags of mung beans, peanuts, soybeans, and two small bags of sesame seeds.

Knowing that the thief Rhubarb was killed by Ye San, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and he felt that he shouldn't go home, causing Lin Lan's mother and son to almost be in danger.

Lin Lan saw that her face was white, and comforted her with a smile: "Sister, I'm fine, don't think too much." ”

Lin Yuezhen looked at her and gestured with tears in her eyes: "I will go home to the grave in Qingming in the future, and I won't go anywhere else." This time I went back to burn the blessing paper, and the two of them didn't even let me in, and they went back to live in your house. ”

Lin Lan patted her hand: "Sister, don't be sad, this will be your home in the future." ”

Lin Yuezhen nodded heavily, pointed at Lin Lan's dark circles, and asked her to go to sleep.

"Okay, I'll go squint for a moment."

Before Lin Lan entered the house, she saw Li Xiangyang riding to the gate of the courtyard, got out of the car, took off the back hat from the back seat, and took out a black dog with brown fur from it.

Li Xiangyang saw that her eyes were blue when she looked tired, his heart sank, and he hurriedly lowered his head and touched the dog's head, and said in a brisk tone as much as possible: "Lin Lan, this is the paparazzi under the dog in my pig farm, it's been almost two months, and this litter of dogs is the most clever." ”

Lin Lan looked at the dog lying on the ground looking at her, looked at Li Xiangyang and said with a smile: "How do you know that my rhubarb is gone?" ”

"Zhilin asked Gangzi to help find the dog, and I only knew that your house was a thief." Li Xiangyang patted the dog's head as he spoke, "In the future, she will be your master, and this is your home." ”

Lin Lan squatted down and smoothed the dog's hair: "What's its name, it's only two months old and it's so old, does it have wolf dog blood?" ”

"Its name is Wangcai, and its parents are coyote dogs, and they will also release chickens in the nursing home." Li Xiangyang took out the collar and dog chain from the back basket, looked at Lin Lan and said with a smile, "If you want to change its name, call it a new name every time you feed it, and it will understand in a few days." ”

Lin Lan nodded and said sincerely: "Thank you, I trouble you every time." ”

Li Xiangyang glanced at her blue eyes: "Everyone is so familiar, don't be polite." I'll go back first, and you can go and rest too. "What he wants to say is, if there is anything you want to help, just say it, I'm afraid you don't want to trouble me.

"Okay, you go slowly!" Lin Lan sent him to the gate of the hospital diligently.

"Let's go back!" Li Xiangyang hurriedly got in the car and left.

Lin Lan sent Li Xiangyang away, and went back to look at Wangcai tied to the pillars of the eaves: "How about calling you rhubarb in the future?" ”

The dog looked up at her coldly, and then lay back on his stomach.

Lin Lan went back to the room and saw Xiaodouzi sleeping with a small belly sweating profusely, picked up a bamboo fan and fanned him for a while, and fell asleep herself.

When she woke up, the little beans were gone, and Lin Yuezhen and Yang Liying were pounding bean paste in the stove room.

Yang Liying looked at her distressedly: "I only knew that I was robbed last night, Ye San's dog mongrel is really not a thing." ”

"I'm fine, Sister Yuezhen is back, Xiang Yang also caught a coyote dog over, I'm not afraid of thieves coming to the door in the future."

Yang Liying smiled and said, "Hmm! Xiangyang people are really good, Xiaodouzi said that this dog is more majestic than rhubarb. ”

The three of them were busy with the work in their hands while talking, and fried orchid beans in the hot weather was a sinful job, and the hot oil was smoking, sweating, and the towel around their necks was soaked for a while.

Before setting up the stall, Xiaodouzi came back with a small back, with charcoal ash on the tip of his nose and forehead, and a black circle around his lips.

"Auntie, my family has laid eggs, I picked up the millet and came back to feed them."

"Our little bean is really capable!" Yang Liying pulled him to wipe the charcoal ash off his face with a handkerchief, and glared at him, "Are you going to burn grasshoppers and eat them?" ”

"Hmmm! Brother Kai, we roasted grasshoppers and red vetches at the foot of the mountain to eat, but they were delicious. ”

Lin Lan looked at him with a calm face: "You picked up Xiao Kai and took you to cook something to eat, the last time Xiao Kai burned the bean stick and ate it, he was beaten when he went back." Also, the fish pond at the foot of the mountain is not safe, what should I do if I fall into the fish pond? ”

Xiaodouzi pulled Lin Lan flatteringly: "Mom, I didn't go to the fish pond, Brother Kai put out the fire before we left." ”

Lin Lan patted the ashes on his body: "The grain in the field is yellow, if it is burned by the fire, everyone will be hungry if they have no food to eat next year." The next time I catch a grasshopper and come back, my mother will fry it and mix it with pepper and salt to make it more delicious. ”

Yang Liying pretended to be a wicked person on the side and glared at him: "Your mother is used to you like this, you see how hard your mother is!" If you don't obey, your aunt will beat you with a bamboo stick. ”

Little Beanzi pouted and waited for a while before saying, "Remember!" I'll feed Dabai. ”

Watching him open the door and go to the bamboo forest with his back on his back, Yang Liying smiled again: "When we were young, we were like them, burning bean stalks, red roots, and going to the foot of the mountain to burn and eat whatever grows in the ground." ”

"We eat more in the mountains, and when the farming is over, everyone goes up to the mountains to hunt chestnuts, and when they are hungry, they burn them on the mountains to eat."

In the afternoon, Lin Lan went to Zhou Xiaohong's house to take a look at the oven, which was more than one meter high, and the boxy one was a bit similar to the oven.

After seeing this, Lin Lan decided to build an earthen oven that was slightly larger than her house to bake mooncakes.

Zhou Xiaohong took her to Master Lu's house on the next street to find Master Lu.

Master Lu said that his house no longer has iron plates and thick iron sheets, and asked her to prepare clay, bricks, cement, iron plates, and iron sheets to inform him, and it will be finished in a day or two.

Lin Lan nodded: "Okay, I'll come and invite you when I have all the materials." ”

Coming out of Master Lu's house, Zhou Xiaohong said: "Cement and bricks are easy to find, but iron plates and thick iron sheets are not easy to find. ”

Lin Lan thought for a moment: "I'll look for Li Wu, and they will ask the soldiers." ”

"I'll help you ask, too."

When setting up the stall the next day, Lin Lan asked a few black market vendors but couldn't find them, thinking about going back and asking Zhao Dehai to help buy the bricks and cement and put them home first, and then talk about it when she found the thick iron sheet.

Millet is rice, and it is called so here in southern Sichuan.

At the end of the month, the cat began to be cheeky again, begging friends to move their little hands to make a fortune, vote for the cat, thank you!
