Li Shuiqing said respectfully: "I know, he is a low-ranking gangster. Years ago, he and a man named Lao Gui made a brigade to sell things on the black market. What's wrong with him?"

Li Xiangyang said in a deep voice: "Let's find out what else Liu Jinbao stole to sell? And what did his uncle Liu Guozhi do when he was the captain of the brigade?"

Li Shuiqing nodded: "Okay, I will tell Zhigang and let them look it up."

"How is Wang Zhixue's business here? Is he doing things steadily?"

"His business is not bad, the young man is good at doing business, and what is rare is that he is still hard-working, helping Zhigang clean the yard every day when closing the stall.

He brought his younger brother here two days ago, and I heard from Zhigang that they were inquiring about the black market in the east of the city, as if they wanted to set up a stall there. "

Li Xiangyang thought for a while, and said, "Let Zhigang give him a message, and then say hello over there, and find him a booth."

"Okay!" Li Shuiqing responded, took out an account book from the drawer and handed it to him, "This is the account book over there, and the money from the joint defense team has been sent there."

After looking through it, Li Xiangyang returned the account book to Li Shuiqing: "How does the house with a facade look on Caishi Street?"

"Looked at two places, and they are planning to go to the provincial capital just after getting flat. The talk is almost over, you go to transfer the ownership tomorrow." Li Shuiqing was a little uneasy, "Xiangyang, do you really want to let go? Will it be... ..."

"It's different this time. Some places have been released, and they will come to us next year." Speaking of this, Li Xiangyang remembered what the old man said, "Pay attention to the houses with facades on the street, and those small western-style buildings. , if someone sells it, let’s talk about it.”

Li Yong nodded and said, "Understood."

The two talked for a while before Li Xiangyang left on his bicycle.

Lin Lan came home and saw Xiaodouzi feeding the chickens in the yard, and approached with a smile: "My Xiaodouzi is really a capable child!"

Xiaodouzi looked at her and said happily, "Mom, today's cakes are sold out."

"Okay!" Lin Lan took the chicken food bowl, "You're hungry! Mom will make you a bowl of milk."

Xiaodouzi shook her head: "I'm not hungry, my aunt cooked eggs for me to eat."

Lin Yuezhen prepared the meal, egg spinach soup, lettuce fried with oil residue, and when she came back, she smiled and gestured to her: "Have you eaten?"

"After eating, I'll feed the pigs and make some paste paper bags." Lin Lan said.

Lin Yuezhen took out the purse from the pocket and gave it to her before sitting back to eat.

Lin Lan took out the ten yuan and put it away, put the change back in the bag, and started feeding the pigs and cooking the paste.

Before going to bed, I made a bowl of milk for Xiaodouzi to drink. Looking at his face that became pink and tender after growing flesh, I thought about buying two bags from Li Wu after eating.

At noon the next day, Wang Zhixue came back from the morning market and told Lin Lan that Yang Zhigang took him to the east of the city to find a stall.

"Auntie, I see that the things sold in the black market over there are all rich and strong fans, and there are some foods that I have never seen before."

"When selling food, you must be clean, and the white cloth in the basket must be changed and washed every day!"

"My mother prepared a few for me and changed them every time."

Lin Lan nodded: "Did your father agree to your mother's conditions?"

"He promised that my mother would take care of all the family's money. From now on, my aunt will entertain them as politely as possible, and it will be the same as before. My mother can figure it out!"

"That's good!" Lin Lan thought for a while, looked at him and said, "Zhilin is not as prudent as you, you give him the stall of the garment factory, and you go to the east side of the city."

Wang Zhixue nodded happily: "Hey! I'll go back and tell him."

"Go!" Lin Lan scooped up the beans, poured hot water to soak them, and returned to paste the paper bags.

In the afternoon, Yao Xiuyun sent the two bicycles to Lin Lan's house, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, the bicycles are here for you."

"Thank you! Come in and sit for a while." Lin Lan took one with a smile, and the two pushed the car into the yard.

It's a half-old [-]-bar, the brakes have been replaced, the pedals, the seat are replaced, and there is an air pump on the car.

Lin Yuezhen looked at the bicycles in the courtyard dam, and touched them curiously.

"Xiuyun, thank you so much, you helped me buy a car, and even repaired it for me, and even bought an air pump for me." Lin Lan gratefully gave her a chair, "Sit down for a while, how much did you spend in total? I'll give you the money."

Yao Xiuyun looked at her with a smile: "It's exactly 100 yuan."

In fact, the car was picked up in the morning, and Xiang Yang went there early in the morning to get it repaired, and even replaced the tires with new ones before sending them back to her home.She was also teased by Xu Dong, saying that his cycad tree was blooming, and once it bloomed, it would be out of control.

Lin Lan went into the house and took the money, and some mushrooms, took out the pea rolls and kidney bean rolls specially made for her from the well, put them in a small bamboo basket, carried them out, gave the money to Yao Xiuyun, and said sincerely: "Thank you , Xiuyun."

Yao Xiuyun took the money and looked at her with a smile: "Sister-in-law, just a word, we are not outsiders, so don't be so polite."

Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "I don't have any other skills. I can cook and eat well." Then she lifted the lid of the bamboo basket, "These are the pastries I made, and there are some dried shiitake mushrooms. Let me know if you like them. I'm ready to send it to you."

"Okay!" Yao Xiuyun smiled cheerfully, "My mother and mother-in-law like your kidney bean rolls and pea cakes the most."

"Kidney bean rolls have the functions of warming the middle and lowering qi, benefiting the stomach, relieving hiccups, nourishing the kidneys and nourishing vitality, etc. Pea cakes benefit the spleen and stomach, relieve heat and detoxify, and it is best to eat in hot weather."

"Sister-in-law also knows Chinese medicine knowledge!"

"There is an old Chinese doctor who has been sent down in the team. I heard something from him."

The two sat and talked for a while, and Yao Xiuyun left with a bamboo basket and went to work.

Lin Yuezhen patted the bicycle happily, and gave Lin Lan a thumbs up. Only the captain of the Shilian brigade had a bicycle, which was rare.

Lin Lan was really grateful to Yao Xiuyun. A bicycle like this can be easily sold for 100 yuan after repair.

"Sister, I want to take some time to go back and send a bicycle back for Dad to use."

Lin Yuezhen nodded and gestured: "You don't have to worry, I'll be at home."

Lin Lan shook her head: "I plan to take the earliest bus back, send the car back and take the afternoon bus back."

Now to supply Zhou Xiaohong and Wang Zhixue brothers, Lin Yuezhen can only fry orchid beans and pound bean paste.Lin Lan had to make the kidney bean rolls and pea cakes herself.

She couldn't delay now, she had to save money to buy a house facing the street before the opening.Once the news of the opening is announced, more people will do business, and the price of houses facing the street will rise faster than the spring bamboo shoots.

After the two discussed it, Lin Lan went to buy a few bottles of wine, cut out a piece of khaki cloth and Derial, put the remaining can of milk powder and malted milk into the back, and thought about putting the pump in it too. .

Roll up the empty sack and tie it with a rope, and take it back to her natal home together.

When Xiaodouzi woke up, Lin Lan told him that she was going to send a bicycle to Grandpa.

Xiaodouzi looked at her happily: "Mom, does our family have a bicycle?"

"Yes! Aunt Yao bought it for us!" Lin Lan opened the door of the main room with a smile, and there were two bicycles lined up inside.
