Sun Xiuhua suppressed his voice: "He said that you got something unclean, let me wait for you to be discharged from the hospital and take you to him to see." I think it's Yang Laoqi who is pestering you, who asked you to trouble his wife. ”

"Yang Laoqi! I'm not afraid of him when I'm alive, and I'm afraid he won't be able to do it when I'm dead. Liu Jinbao sneered.

Sun Xiuhua looked at him: "Jinbao, you should go back with your mother to Mr.'s to have a look!" You're going to get married on New Year's Day, just in case there's a bad one! ”

Liu Jinbao nodded: "Okay!" I listen to you. ”

Sun Xiuhua glanced at him in surprise, he didn't expect him to respond so quickly this time.

In the afternoon, Lin Lan and Lin Yuezhen picked the cowpeas in the vegetable field, removed the insect eyes and cleaned them, scooped a few scoops of water and boiled them in the pot, boiled the cowpeas until they were broken, took them out and put them in a dustpan to drain the water, and hung them on the rope under the eaves.

For the last day, take a part and cut it into short sections, add salt, white wine, red oil sea pepper, pepper noodles, sugar, sesame seeds, mix well and put it into a sealed glass bottle.

Some of them are dried cowpeas, and in winter, when there are few types of vegetables, they are cut with pork belly or pork ribs and braised in a stewed soup.

Lin Yuezhen also collected a lot of melon and vegetable seeds, and also kept the watermelon seeds sent by Li Xiangyang, preparing to plant watermelons in her own land next year.

After a day of rest to recuperate, Lin Lan started work again, thinking that just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, she reduced the output a little.

Wang Zhixue and the brothers took the goods and walked away for a while, and Zhou Xiaohong came.

"Xiaolin, you're tired! I never dreamed that the mooncakes you made would taste so good! ”

"Sister Zhou, don't make fun of me." Lin Lan smiled and packed the goods for her, and asked again, "Sister Zhou, you said that you went to see the house that day, how did you look?" ”

"I've seen a few places that are either too small or too big, and the good location is too expensive, and I don't have that much money." Zhou Xiaohong said with a smile.

Lin Lan nodded: "My third brother said that the wind direction has changed, and there are already small stalls and vendors in the city where he is a soldier, and he also said that he will not care about us who do business in the future." I was also a little moved when I heard this, and I wanted to buy a street house and put it in the future. ”

Zhou Xiaohong looked at Lin Lan happily: "Great! I looked at a house two days ago, the owner and my wife are classmates and good friends, his house is on the left corner of the department store, Li Min Street, next to the Li Min Hotel.

There are also six stores in a row on the street, and there are six on the second floor, and there is a small courtyard in the back and six tiled houses.

Yesterday I sent a Boxing gift to his house, he said that he was going to sell the house to settle in the provincial capital, I asked the price, my family can't come up with so much money, we are two of us and one person and three rooms. ”

Lin Lan thought for a while: "Sister Zhou, I'm afraid that the location of Limin Hotel is a bit expensive, and I can't afford it if it's expensive." ”

"You're sure you can afford it!" Zhou Xiaohong looked at her with a smile: "He said to sell it to others for 12,000 and give me 11,000 eight, but it must be paid off at once." I can only buy half of it, and I thought I'd come and ask you yesterday. ”

Lin Lan thought to herself: 11,008, half of one person costs 5,000 nine, there is no problem to take it out, according to the current purchasing power, this price is a little expensive.

Zhou Xiaohong saw Lin Lan hesitating, and persuaded: "Xiaolin, the house is expensive, but the location is not long in a good year, and some old furniture is also given to us together, if we are really allowed to open the door to do business, the front shop and the back room will not have to work so hard." ”

Lin Lan nodded: "Okay, let's go and have a look when we have time." ”

"We'll go to the stall in the afternoon." Zhou Xiaohong said.

"Good! Lin Lan nodded in response.

Zhou Xiaohong gave her a thumbs up: "Xiaolin, no wonder the old man said that the heavens are not hungry craftsmen, with your skills, in the future, you will get a store like a food station to sell in a glass case, and your business will be even worse!" ”

Lin Lan shook her head with a smile: "Sister Zhou, I am just half a bucket of water, and when I really let go, those old craftsmen will come out of the mountain, and I won't be able to get on the table." ”

Zhou Xiaohong sighed: "Yes! We went to see the house in the afternoon, the owner's family has been open for generations, and I heard my old Chen say that his house used to be very beautiful. I was also scared and didn't dare to stay here anymore. ”

Lin Lan nodded, the two gossiped for a while, and Zhou Xiaohong hurriedly set up a stall.

"Sister, I'm going to work!" Lin Lan said to Lin Yuezhen, who was cooking pig food in the house, put on a straw hat and went out on her back.

As soon as I went out, I saw the old lady walking towards this side with her waist on her back, and asked her, "Uncle, are you sending Dandan back?" What's wrong with the waist? ”

The old lady glanced at Lin Lan with a scrutinizing gaze, and smiled faintly: "My waist is a little swollen and uncomfortable." Sent Dandan to school, he said that no one sent his classmates and didn't let me send them, so I quietly followed him to school and came back. ”

"Oh! If you're not feeling well, go check it out early. ”

Lin Lan looked at the old lady's expression, and sighed in her heart: Dandan, this stinky boy, must have said it in front of the old lady, let himself be a fucking thing for him.

After thinking about it, he had never had such a thought, what was there to be vain, and smiled calmly: "Xiaodouzi won't let me send it, and I go with Xiaokai every day." ”

The old lady looked at Lin Lan: "The baby is older, there are some unrealistic ideas, we have to take care of it when we should take care of it, Dandan is not sensible, you don't have to take those words to heart." ”

Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "Uncle, don't worry, I understand, I'll go to work first." ”

"Go ahead!"

The old lady looked at Lin Lan's back and had mixed feelings in her heart, this child is now hardworking and willing to work, and she really remembers and treats others, she really likes her, I thought she had such a mind to teach the child to say.

Now it seems that Dandan thinks that his aunt is good to him, he and Xiaodouzi are good brothers, and the two want to live together, so they say things like that to themselves.

Lin Lan is good, but she is Yang Laoqi's wife, if Dingbang and her get married, the brother and sister-in-law team will definitely be full of suspicion, in that case, it will definitely hinder Dingbang's future.

That's it! In the future, there will be less contact, so as to save the days and make jokes for a long time.

Lin Lan saw the alienation in the old lady's eyes, she knew the old lady's temper, although she would not be angry with her, but from now on she would alienate her.

She decided to try to have as little contact as possible in the future, so as to save the old lady embarrassment.

In the afternoon, after Lin Lan closed the stall, she asked Yang Liying to help bring things home, and she and Zhou Xiaohong went to Limin Street to see the house.

When she arrived at Limin Street, Lin Lan found that there were five-storey buildings on both sides of the street, which looked neater than other streets.

The department store at the intersection was crowded, and the salesperson put on a mother's face and threw things in front of the customer.

Opposite the department store is the Limin Hotel, the two crossed the street, Lin Lan saw a row of closed stores, there were two men standing tall and one short standing in front of a small door, and the short one was Zhou Xiaohong's lover Chen Dongming.

Chen Dongming is a simple man, although his health is not good, he also tries to help Zhou Xiaohong share the burden.

The tall man's thin, tired face was carved with wrinkles of worry, probably the owner of the house.
