Wearing eighty books, the little widow turns into a rich woman

25 Chapter 25 Be careful

Lin Lan nodded, put Xiaodouzi on the stool and sat down, and looked at him with a smile: "Listen to the little pig crying, Xiaodouzi, I'm hungry, bring the pig food here.

You eat obediently, and let's feed the piglets after eating. "

Xiaodouzi laughed: "Mom, my grandmother and I fed the little pig in the morning. The little pig ate a lot."

Wu Shufen brought the food to the table: "My good grandson has eaten and fed the piglet with grandma."

"Oh!" Xiaodouzi picked up the spoon, picked up his small wooden bowl, and started to eat.

After dinner, Lin Lan took out the money sold today, and smiled happily: "Today there are more orchid beans than yesterday, and they were sold out in less than half an hour. The total sold was more than eight yuan."

Xiaodouzi looked at the money on the table with sparkling eyes: "Wow! We got rich."

Wu Shufen laughed: "Hey! Grandma's good grandson is smart and knows how to get rich. You can't tell others when you go out that you have money at home. If thieves and villains hear about it, they will steal it away."

Xiaodouzi nodded: "Grandma, I know, the grandma said that the bad guys would take mom away."

Seeing the happy faces of the old and the young, Lin Lan laughed even more happily: "Mom, I want to take advantage of the fact that they just paid out the bonus, add a spoonful of soybeans and soak them in hot water, and fry them in a pot tomorrow."

Wu Shufen nodded happily: "Okay, I'll scoop the peas."

Lin Lan poured some hot water from the thermos bottle and soaked the beans.

When I was carrying water, I saw that the backyard was already full of taro and thick-skinned vegetables.

"Mom, you are not idle at all at home. You have cut so many leaves and planted these again."

Wu Shufen pointed to the thick-skinned vegetables and taro: "They were brought by the old lady. After the thick-skinned vegetables and taro stalks grow up, the outer layer of old stalks are broken off, chopped and cooked in simmering water, and rice bran is added to make tree leaves. Feed pigs, pigs grow fast.

Taking advantage of the fact that there are many leaves on the mulberry tree and there are few pig snacks, you can cut more and bring them back, dry them and put them in sacks for use slowly. "

She also taught Lin Lan to mix the finely chopped mulberry leaves with the chaff, knead the mulberry leaves and feed them to the pigs, and then feed half a bucket of boiled and cooled hog water.

He also taught her to sweep the pigsty every two days and change the grass for the pigsty.

Except for feeding pigs with mulberry leaves, Lin Lan has done other tasks in her previous life and did a good job, but she didn't dare to reveal her secrets, so she could only listen carefully.

After feeding the pigs, the mother and daughter grabbed the half-grown chickens and put them in the pen next to the wall. They closed the door of the pen and propped them up with wooden sticks to prevent the mice from getting in and ruining the chicks.

I came out to put away the mosquito net and folded the clothes, and started sweeping the floor again.

Wu Shufen sat under the eaves of the porch holding the soles of her shoes, smiling and looking up at her daughter and grandson from time to time.

Liu Jinbao returned home, went to the kitchen to look around, then turned around and went to Sun Xiuhua's room.

I lifted the pillow and blanket, groped in the straw for a while, found a small key, and opened a red-painted wooden box.

I found a stack of banknotes from an old flowered jacket, counted 100 yuan, stuffed it into my trouser pocket, thought about it, found another ten yuan, and put the jacket and keys back to their original places.

As soon as he walked out of the room, he heard the sound of the courtyard door opening. He walked to the door of the main room and looked around, and saw that Sun Xiuhua and his sister had come back together.

Liu Jinbao leaned on the door frame dangling: "Liu Xia, what delicious food did you buy to see mom?"

Liu Xia glared at him: "My sister knows how to eat if she doesn't shout! I heard that your mother was beaten by that little widow Lin Lan, so I came here to have a look!"

Liu Jinbao stared back: "It's nice to say, if you have the ability, you can go to that woman and call her back! Stingy! You're married and come back all day to pick on your mother's family."

Liu Xia looked at Sun Xiuhua dissatisfied: "Mom, look at the third child!"

Sun Xiuhua gave her a blank look, and then looked at her hands: "The third child is right, look at those married people in the team, who returned to their natal family empty-handed like you."

"You are biased, I see how kind the third child will treat you in the future!" Liu Xia said angrily, turned and left.

Sun Xiuhua yelled at her: "If you say a word, you'll shake your face, don't come back if you have the ability."

Liu Xia left angrily without even looking back.

"Mom, I'll go to the storage room to get some things." Liu Jinbao said and ran away pushing the bicycle.

"Everyone is a debt collector." Sun Xiuhua mumbled into the yard.

Liu Jinbao arrived at Zou Zhonggui's house by bicycle, and saw him squatting at the door holding a bucket full of potato stewed rice.

"Old Gui, the bowl is bigger than your head."

Zou Zhonggui swallowed the yams in his mouth: "After picking up a lot of shit for a day, I was so hungry that my chest stuck to my back. If I don't eat more, I won't survive until dawn."

The two entered the room, and Liu Jinbao took out the money and put it on the table: "Fifty, and fifty will be given when things are done!"

Zou Zhonggui glanced at the bicycle at the door: "There are still two or eight laps."

Liu Jinbao patted his chest: "Don't worry, brother keeps his word." He glanced at him as he spoke, "Did you go to Niubei Mountain to see that woman today?"

"Hmm! Take a look from afar." Zou Zhonggui smacked his lips.

Liu Jinbao squinted at him: "We agreed, as long as you get started, let me play."

Zou Zhonggui stared at him: "Only once! If she doesn't make trouble, you are not allowed to make trouble."

Liu Jinbao squinted at him, smiled lewdly, stepped forward and elbowed him: "That woman has already hooked your soul!"

Thinking of Lin Lan's appearance, Zou Zhonggui's heart became hot: "It's not bad to be able to start a family with such a woman." The two stinky hooligans regarded Lin Lan as their possession.

The two sat together and began to discuss how to deal with Lin Lan.

The dim oil lamp illuminated two dirty grimaces.

Lin Lan got up early in the morning and cooked sweet potato porridge, fried peas, salted vegetables, and three boiled eggs.

After each person ate one, she scooped the remaining porridge into an enamel jar, and rolled the remaining peas and pickles on top.

"Xiaolan, who are you bringing food for?" Wu Shufen asked.

Lin Lan told her about Old Chen: "Mom, I think he is very pitiful."

Wu Shufen sighed: "Why hasn't he left yet, the two on our team have left!"

"I don't know! I'm leaving!"

When Lin Lan came to the fish pond at the foot of the mountain with a basket on her back, she saw Lao Chen standing on the ridge of the field feeding the fish. She took the enamel jar out of the basket and handed it to him when they passed by.

"Give me the enamel tank when I go back. My mother said that the Shi Lian brigade has already gone back."

Old Chen glanced at her gratefully: "Thank you Xiaolin." He received a letter from his family yesterday afternoon, and knew that some of them had gone home.

Lin Lan nodded slightly and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

Time flies quickly when I get busy, and it's time to call it a day.

When Lin Lan passed the thatched shed, she took the ceramic jar and saw a dollar in it.

Old Chen said in a low voice: "Xiao Lin, it's not easy for you, you must accept the money for food and medicine."

"I'll give it to you again tomorrow morning." Lin Lan walked away after finishing speaking.
