I am Xu Lingjun, who is full of love in the courtyard

Chapter 21

"Oh, what are you talking about?" Uncle Dong didn't care too much, but just echoed his wife.

"It's a lot younger than a child, and these people are just gossiping about people there. They said that Xiao Xu is now a lazy man, and he ate meat yesterday. How can these people say such things because that child is living in such a miserable life."

Seeing that his wife was so angry, Uncle Dong persuaded, "My wife, those people are just like this kind of people who like to tell tales. Well, let me go and see Xiao Xu later."

"Don't wait any longer, go now."

"alright."

Uncle Dong washed his face and went out.Not long after, they walked to the door of Xu Lingjun's house.

"Boom bang bang."

"Xiao Xu, are you home?"

……

Uncle Dong knocked on the door and yelled for a long time before Xu Lingjun woke up.

"Who?"

"I, you, Uncle Dong."

"Uncle Dong, what's the matter? If it's okay, I'll continue to sleep."

"Xiao Xu, it's already dawn, and you're still sleeping in. You've ruined your reputation like this, so how can you find a wife in the future?"

Xu Lingjun was speechless, what is this talking about.If I sleep late by myself, I won't be able to marry a wife. "Uncle Dong, if you're okay, I'll continue to sleep."

"Boom bang bang."

"Open the door quickly. Xu Lingjun, don't think that I can't control you now. Open the door quickly."

"Okay. You wait. I'll get dressed."

"Row."

Xu Lingjun was also speechless, and slept late by himself, as if he had done something wrong.However, he also knew that Uncle Dong was really doing it for his own good.Although he is reluctant, the movements in his hands are not slow.He got dressed quickly, and then checked carefully, but found no problems.Then I went to open the door.

"Uncle Dong, I'd like to trouble you for such a trivial matter."

"Xiao Xu, you haven't had an easy life these years. Why, you are relaxing now. Do you know that news spreads quickly in the countryside. You got up so late these days, and now the village is There are gossips. How will you find a wife in the future, and how will you gain a foothold in the village?"

Although Xu Lingjun didn't care much about this, he would not challenge everyone's unspoken rules of order.I had no choice but to nod and said, "Uncle Dong, don't worry. I will pay attention to it in the future."

"Xiao Xu, you don't have any relatives here. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me. Hurry up with logistics. Uncle will help you find a way to find a wife."

"Thank you, Mr. Dong, I will definitely listen to you."

"Alright then, remember what I said." After Uncle Dong finished speaking, he turned his head and left.Suddenly remembered something, and said, "Xiao Xu, I heard you bought meat yesterday?"

Xu Lingjun didn't know why, so he replied, "Yes, I just bought a catty of pork yesterday. Uncle Dong, would you like to eat some at my house?"

"It seems that what others said is really true. Xiao Xu, you used to be a very simple person. What's the matter, you just became independent, and you started to enjoy yourself? You bought a catty of pork, you can't do it?"

"No. I made some money recently, so I just bought pork. Look at my body, skinny, long-term malnutrition, I should eat something good to supplement nutrition."

"That's true. I have really suffered for you these years. It seems that you have really made money. I don't know you yet, let alone buy meat, and there is not enough food. Where did the money come from? All right, work harder in the future , the villagers in the province gossip." Uncle Dong still trusted Xu Lingjun very much, so he turned his head and left without asking any further questions.

"Uncle Dong, goodbye." After seeing off Uncle Dong, Xu Lingjun couldn't go to bed anymore.Something in the village spreads very fast.From the looks of it, I secretly bought some meat, and it was discovered after I made it once.He even wondered if someone came here to squat at the base of the wall.

In short, the lesson for Xu Lingjun from this incident is that there are no secrets in the village.I have to find a way to expand the yard so that no one can discover my secret.

Speaking of it, Xu Lingjun was miserable. He didn't even have toothpaste and toothbrush before.In the past, wicker and charcoal sticks were used, which were the same as the ancients.Of course, neither does he now.Looking at the charcoal strips on the window sill, Xu Lingjun thought about it and decided to forget it.Just like a few days ago.

It's not that Xu Lingjun doesn't want to buy toothbrushes and toothpaste.It's just that he saw it at the supply and marketing cooperative, and the quality was really not good.It is really unbearable to use it.Even if he didn't brush his teeth for a few days, Xu Lingjun didn't want to use these things.

Of course, you still have to wash your face.It's no big deal to take a cold shower now, the temperature is not low.What do you have for breakfast?This is an unavoidable problem.

The family only has half a bowl of braised pork, fresh rice and sweet potatoes from yesterday.There was nothing delicious, so I made sweet potato and white rice porridge.You can't eat too much of this thing, it's okay to eat it a few times with pickles, but it will be boring if you eat too much.

There are still 4 days before the next crossing, which makes Xu Lingjun stumped.Although I am just an ordinary person, I only eat juicy and fat soup dumplings for breakfast every day.The appetite has been raised, where can I eat other things.That is to say, it feels a little fresh, so I can eat it.

The more he thought about it, the hungrier he became, Xu Lingjun simply shook his head to empty out the excess thoughts in his mind.Seriously cook up.

Careless, no flash.How did you get through this hard time these four days.There is nothing to eat, and it is like a year.Eat some braised pork, and immediately someone will gossip.This day can't be passed.You have to make money, and you have to make money secretly.

After eating, I finished washing the dishes.Xu Lingjun began to process the remaining prickly pear fruits.In one morning, 32 catties of prickly pear pulp was processed.After smashing the meat into minced meat, it began to cook.After one operation, the prickly pear fudge was finally boiled at noon, and it was enough to put it in the pot and wait for it to cool naturally.

Lunch is also done at the same time.It was already cooked.No, I took out the firewood charcoal in the firewood stove.Xu Lingjun began to eat.There was only braised pork and pickles left because of the lack of side dishes and seasonings.Braised pork can only be said to taste average.

As for cooking, Xu Lingjun still knows how to cook.But it is based on the side dishes and seasonings of later generations.Now, letting him do it would only be a waste of good ingredients.But he can't control so much, it's good to be able to eat.

After eating, I slept.Xu Lingjun came to the kitchen to have a look, and the fudge was also formed.Take a kitchen knife and cut into long strips of the same size, and then wrap them in dried lotus leaves. There are 16 packages.Carefully placed in the bamboo basket.After arriving in the room, Xu Lingjun took it out from the cellar, and put the 10 mechanical watches, 100 old-fashioned lighters, 1000 cigarettes and matches into the portable space.

Then, carrying bamboo baskets and buckets, he walked to Uncle Dong's house.
