209 Let's get engaged too
Lin Changyou said with a smile: "Zhixue sincerely invites you, just go over together, and everyone gathers." β
Lin Changyou spoke, Lin Lan had to agree to go over, she went into the house and took two packs of sugar and picked up some eggs, and the group went out to wait for Yang Liying's family to meet halfway, a group of more than ten people, towards Wang Zhizhi.
When they arrived at Yang Liqun's house, everyone was polite and greeting.
The table of the Eight Immortals in Wangjiatang House was full of wine and vegetables, and Lin Lan also saw freshly marinated sweet duck and some marinated vegetables on the table.
The sweet-skinned duck is brown and red in color, the skin is crispy and slightly sweet, the meat is delicate, and it is not fat or greasy in the mouth.
The duck is braised with the farmer's fed hemp duck, and the duck is made of authentic sweet duck.
Lin Lan remembered that in the past, the braised sweet duck next door to her house was very good, and her mother bought it back, and she and her sister could eat one duck.
My parents didn't make much money at that time, so they bought it once in a while, and they were reluctant to eat it, so they left it for the sisters to eat, and the sisters always felt that they didn't have enough to eat.
Later, the conditions at home were better, and the marinated ducks may have been fed for the reason that they no longer had the taste of childhood when they were eaten in their mouths. Now I have a familiar taste again.
Yang Liqun said with a smile: "Now we don't care about trading, the Zhao family of the second team has also started to make lo-mei." His braised sweet duck, the pig shell tastes the best, and it was sold out in less than two hours after picking it to the mouth of the cave, which was marinated in the afternoon at his house. β
Yu Xiufang said: "It doesn't matter if it's good, we will also buy these lo-mei during the New Year's holiday." I'm not afraid of my mother's jokes, we haven't eaten braised duck for many years. β
Lin Chang nodded: "As long as the craftsmanship is in hand, you can take it out and use it if you want to." β
Wang Zemin also said that Yang Liqun earned more in a month than they earned in a year in the brigade.
Since he went out to set up a stall with Yang Liqun, he has been in contact with more businessmen, and his thinking has changed, and he regrets that he used to treat his wife as an outsider. Lend your hard-earned money to a few white-eyed wolves.
A few women eat well, and the men sit in the hall and set up a peasant formation, from the household contract responsibility system a few days ago to the opening of the big bazaar.
Speaking of the faΓ§ade room in the south of the city, Wang Zemin and Zhao Dehai thanked Li Xiangyang and Lin Lan for their communication.
If they hadn't persuaded them to buy a house, and with their knowledge, they would have earned money that would have been used to repair the house or hide it in their homes, and they would have taken it out to look at and count it when they had time, and they would never have dreamed of going to the city to buy a house.
After eating a meal for two hours, Lin Lan and the others said goodbye and went home, and they had to prepare cakes for tomorrow morning.
Li Xiangyang accompanied Lin Changyou and talked for a while before riding back.
After Zhang Guangming and his wife came to Wang's house to see, when the parents and children of the two families were very satisfied, they agreed to see a good day in Layue and get engaged to Zhang Yuru and Wang Zhixue.
The three members of the Zhang family left satisfied, and Lin Changyou was left behind by Li Xiangyang and Lin Lan.
Early the next morning, Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang took Lin Changyou and went to the shop in the south of the city to take a look. The shop has been repaired, the wires in the house have been re-pulled, and the walls have been painted.
The shop in front and the courtyard in the back are partitioned, the osmanthus tree is on Lin Lan's side, and the well is on Yang Liqun's side.
The houses in the city are equipped with running water pipes, so I don't have to worry about running out of water.
Li Xiangyang smiled: "Let's go to the vegetable market to see what they are doing?" β
"Good!"
The three of them came out of the house, closed the door and turned right into the vegetable market street, where bricks and cement were built on both sides of the street, and a cement slab of about 1.2 meters was laid on it.
In the middle of the street, there are two rows of iron shelves welded with iron pipes on both sides of the street.
Li Xiangyang pointed to the iron frame: "These two rows are shelves for hanging meat." I heard that after the opening of the market, there was a bargaining of meat and a bargaining of meat, and the bargaining meat was sold by a butcher like me. β
Lin Lan counted it, and there were ten stalls in two rows: "Have you inquired, is the booth fee expensive?" β
"Dealers have fixed stalls, and each cement board charges a certain sanitation fee and booth fee, and farmers do not pay booth fees when they come to set up stalls."
"That's right! In this way, the seller should pay the fee for a long time, and the farmer should be exempted from the fee just to subsidize the family when he comes to sell some vegetables. β
Lin Changyou thought that when he was young, there was a year when he came to the East Market to buy things during the Chinese New Year, and the streets were bustling with people, and said with a smile: "I will definitely not be able to squeeze in on the day the market opens." β
Lin Lan also remembered that when her parents took her to the market when she was a child, she walked through a street, and her heels were stepped on several times: "Only those who are lively have the flavor of the New Year." β
In another thirty years, this is not allowed, and I can't even hear a sound during the New Year, how can there be a New Year's flavor!
The three of them came out of Caishi Street and went to Yucai Road.
Li Xiangyang pointed to the front, and the two small western-style buildings on the right were next to each other: "Uncle Lin, those two are my and Xiaolan's houses." The two opposite buildings are Dongzi and Dingbang's house. β
Lin Changyou stood in front of the gate, stroked his palms and smiled: "Not bad! This house is magnificent! He sighed in his heart, no wonder the second child said that he wanted to build such a house, and several children should have the ability to build such a small western-style building, and my life was not in vain.
The old lady carried a small hoe and saw a few people standing in the opposite yard, opened the courtyard door and walked over, and said happily: "Rare guest, father-in-law? When did you come? β
"Yesterday." Lin Changyou gave a thumbs up to the old lady, "Uncle and grandmother are so blessed!" β
The old lady smiled and nodded: "Yes! I have been blessed with my grandson in my life, and I have also lived a life in a small western-style house! I'll go to the other side later, it's cleaned up over there. β
Li Xiangyang pointed to the open door on the first floor: "Our side has not been repaired yet, and the upstairs is painting and tung oil, in case of allergies, it will be troublesome." β
Lin Changyou said: "The soil paint is allergic and itchy to death, and I will go in and see it when it is better in the future." β
The old lady happily took them to the opposite side and told them that Yang Dingbang had not come back after going to the hospital to change the dressing.
The living room on the first floor is furnished with a coffee table, a wooden sofa, and a cabinet bought from Xu Ming......
Lin Lan felt that the antique home had a strong classical charm and a sense of heaviness.
The three of them sat at Dingbang's house for a while, and then rode back to Lin Lan's house.
****
In the afternoon, Lao Li prepared a meal, called Dongzi's family and the old lady's grandson, and invited Lin Changyou and Lin Lan's family to Li's house, and the two old men met.
Lin Changyou sincerely thanked Lao Li and his son for taking care of his daughter and grandson.
Lao Li also said the reason why he opposed the two of them at the beginning, Lin Changyou was heart-to-heart, and felt that if Guozhu and Guoqiang told him one day that they wanted to ask for a woman with a child, he would not agree at once.
The two elders have the same view, and they both appreciate each other's attitude.
Lin Lan, Yao Xiuyun, and Lin Yuezhen packed up the stove room and came out, and they were very happy to see the two elders talking happily.
Sending Lin Lan home, Li Xiangyang pulled Lin Lan and said, "Xiaolan, are we engaged in Layue?" β
