Zhao Xiaohui's eyes lit up after hearing this, how good it is to go to the provincial capital, how decent the people in the city are, Lin Yuezhen has changed when she goes to the city, and when she goes, she can become as foreign as Xiaolan.

Zhao Xiaohui thought of this and turned Lin Guodong: "Guodong, Xiaolan's method is good." ”

Lin Guodong turned his head and glared at her: "My sister-in-law went to help my mother cook, and you also went to help." ”

I don't know the severity of the mother-in-law, Xiaolan has everything done, let's go and pick up the cheap, where does it have such a big face.

"Oh!" Zhao Xiaohui glared at Lin Guodong dissatisfied, and left slowly.

Lin Changyou looked at Lin Guoliang and the brothers: "Xiaolan's words, what do you think?" ”

Brother Lin Guoliang glanced at each other: "Dad, I think it's as we have discussed, hard work Xiaolan helps us manage the shop, and we will be satisfied with some dividends." ”

Lin Chang nodded a little and looked back at Lin Lan: "Those who can work hard, they will work hard for you in the future." ”

"Dad, why are you still polite to me!" Lin Changyou said this, and Lin Lan had no choice but to respond.

After discussing the matter of the shop, Lin Guoliang rode to his father-in-law's house to borrow a mule, and Lin Lan also went to the stove room to help.

At night, Li Xiangyang took Xiaodouzi to live in Lin Guoqiang's room, Lin Changyou lived in Lin Guozhu's room, and Lin Lan and Wu Shufen lived in the same room.

After the mother and daughter fell asleep, Wu Shufen said to her: "Your father originally wanted to let Xiuqing and the eldest take care of the shop after the shop opened, and we took the second child and Xiaohui at home, and hired two more people to manage the pig farm." ”

"Later, when I thought about it, I felt that it was inappropriate, one of the brothers was in the city, and the other was working at home, even if Guodong had no idea in his heart for a long time, Xiaohui would definitely do it."

"If you let Guodong and Xiaohui go to see the shop, with Zhao Xiaohui's greed for money, it will be a mouse falling into the rice tank. In that case, it would be better to rent the shop to someone else for rent. ”

After hearing this, Lin Lan smiled and said, "Then you are not afraid that my big rat will empty the shop." ”

Wu Shufen patted her with disgust: "My own daughter, I know myself, although you used to be lazy, you were never greedy for money, otherwise you wouldn't marry Yang Laoqi's short-lived ghost." ”

Lin Lan feels that all parents in the world are the same, and she always thinks that her child is the best one in the world.

"Mom, how could my aunt marry into a deep mountain like Shishanling?"

"Alas!" Wu Shufen sighed and said, "My grandmother was married in the mountains, and she was given to her eldest brother-in-law behind my mother's back." When my mother was a child, there was a famine one year, and my eldest brother-in-law's family brought two baskets of red lotus and ginger taro, and your grandfather asked him to take my sister away. When my mother was a child, your aunt was the best to me, and without her, I might not be there. ”

Lin Lan also sighed after hearing this, and didn't know what to say.

Early the next morning, Lin Lan and Wu Shufen got up early in the morning to make egg cakes, boiled eggs, and prepared to eat them on the road. After breakfast, Lin Lan left Xiaodouzi, and together with Li Xiangyang and Lin Guoliang, they led the mule and set off to Shishanling.

Shiling Mountain is in the mountain inside Shilian, out of the brigade, into the mountain, the mountain road in the early morning is a little slippery, and the cold wind blows the pain of the face like a knife.

Lin Lan took out the scarf and handed it to Li Xiangyang: "The scarf is for you." ”

Li Xiangyang shook his head with a smile, "No, it'll be hot after walking for a while." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to her, "Come, I'll pull you away!" ”

"I can do it myself." Lin Lan wrapped her face with a scarf, leaving only her eyes and nose outside, and followed Lin Guoliang towards the mountain.

As you go up the rugged and winding mountain road, the road gets narrower and harder.

Li Xiangyang saw that she was panting, and looked back at her: "Tired!" Sit on the back of a mule and let the mule carry it. ”

"It's okay, I can walk a little longer." Lin Lan glanced back at Li Xiangyang as she spoke, and saw that he was leading the mule, his pace was not slow, and after walking for so long, he was still out of breath and his face was not red.

"What kind of kung fu did you practice before?"

Li Xiangyang clasped Lin Lan's wrist and pulled her up: "When I secretly ran a pig farm in the mountains, I learned some boxing and foot kung fu from an uncle who hunted in the mountains, and later learned some fighting skills from Dingbang. ”

"No wonder you walk more steadily than me, a mountain man."

"Where can you be considered a mountain person, you haven't walked a few mountain roads since you were a child, other people's little girls go into the mountains to cut wood and cut grass, and your parents ask Guoqiang to do it. I won't let you do it. Lin Guoliang said loudly in front.

Lin Lan sneered: "Big brother, don't tear down the stage!" ”

"Hahaha!" Lin Guoliang laughed, "Don't be afraid, Xiangyang won't laugh at you." I tell you, after a few more hills, the road ahead will be even more difficult. ”

Over a few hills, some sections, one side is a bare stone wall, the other side, is an unknown depth of the cliff, the road is only half a meter wide, one person walks down and is also wide, two people in parallel seems a little crowded.

Lin Lan looked at the road ahead, and didn't even dare to look at the cliff below, worried that she would fall down with one foot in the air, and she wouldn't even be able to find her bones.

"Xiaolan," Li Xiangyang shouted, pulling the mule and walking a few steps quickly, catching up with Lin Lan, "I'll help you up and ride the mule." ”

Lin Guoliang, who was walking in front, also turned around: "Xiaolan, you still let the mule carry you, otherwise we will live in the mountains tonight." ”

Lin Lan nodded: "Okay!" ”

Li Xiangyang helped Lin Lan to sit on the back of the mule, watched her sit stiffly on the back of the mule, and said softly: "Don't look down, don't be afraid to look at the stone wall inside." ”

"Hmm!" Lin Lan should go down.

Sitting on the back of a mule, Lin Lan looked at the mountain road and thought to herself that it was no wonder that if you want to get rich, you must first build the road, and it is too difficult to travel on such a mountain road.

Along the winding mountain road, to the top of the mountain, the treetops on the top of the mountain were covered with a thin layer of snow, the three of them found a leeward place, picked up some firewood and lit it, took out a kettle from the back of the clip, and a few bamboo tubes, Wu Shufen prepared eggs for them, and the meatloaf was baked and eaten.

After eating and drinking, Lin Guoliang cut a wooden stick, shaved off the burr and handed it to Lin Lan: "Xiaolan, it's easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, you walk with a wooden stick." ”

"Hmm!" Lin Lan took it and felt that the length was just right.

Li Xiangyang and Lin Guoliang got some soil to cover the burning firewood, stepped on the fire extinguisher, and prepared to go down the mountain.

Lin Guoliang still led the way down the mountain, Lin Lan walked in the middle, and Li Xiangyang led the mule to follow her.

The road at the top of the mountain was steep and narrow, Lin Lan walked tremblingly with a wooden stick, feeling that it was really easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, and when she reached a slightly flatter place, Li Xiangyang let her sit on the back of the mule.

After walking for more than two hours, the three of them arrived at the Stone Mountain Ridge, which is located in the middle of the mountain.

The house is built on the mountain, most of the houses are stone houses made of stone, the roof is covered with thatch, Qiaohui's house is a little in the middle of the village, walking along the road, Lin Lan saw a member squatting at the door of the house with a red lotus to eat.

It was rare for someone to come in the mountains, and the child looked at Lin Lan and the others curiously, and followed behind the buttocks of a few people.

There are large and small patches on the clothes and trousers, and there are also the tips of the shoes, some of them look quite clean, and some of the old men with snot hanging on their noses raise their hands to wipe them horizontally, and the sleeves are black and shiny.
