"You are?" Lin Lan looked at her and suddenly couldn't remember who she was.

The woman looked at her reproachfully: "It's really a nobleman who forgets too much, I'm your deskmate Gou Haiyan!"

Gou Haiyan looked at Lin Lan who was wearing a black woolen coat, short boots, and a beige wool scarf around her neck, and felt that she had really changed, becoming as confident and foreign as people in big cities.

Could it be that what Lin Li and the others said is true? Lin Lan caught a rich man and even bought a TV set and a sewing machine for her natal family.

Gou Haiyan quietly glanced at the tall man standing beside Lin Lan who was pushing the cart, and felt that his eyes were a bit cold.

Lin Lan patted her head and smiled politely, "I'm sorry, my brain just short-circuited."

She remembered that Gou Haiyan was one of the little sisters who went to Dongshi with the original owner and met Yang Guangming together. It seemed that she was the only one who persuaded the original owner that Yang Guangming was not a decent person.

The original owner promised her not to associate with Yang Guangming, but after being coaxed by Yang Guangming's sweet words, she couldn't find Bei.

Gou Haiyan said with a hearty smile: "It's okay, I haven't seen you for several years, if someone hadn't said you were coming back, I wouldn't have recognized you."

She paused and looked at Lin Lan, "Lin Li is back too, shall we come to meet you this afternoon?"

Lin Lan had no choice but to nod: "Okay, I'll go to my mother's house first, and we'll get together in the afternoon."

Gou Haiyan waved her hand, turned and walked towards the yard.

Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang pushed the cart to the outside of the Lin family courtyard, and the three Lin Guoliang brothers came out to welcome them.

Lin Guozhu politely took the cart pushed by Li Xiangyang: "Xiangyang, push it for me."

"Troublesome third brother." Li Xiangyang smiled and let go of his handle, took out cigarettes and lit them for his uncles, and they walked towards the yard.

Lin Changyou and Wu Shufen happily welcomed him to the main room and sat down.

Lin Guodong took Lin Lan's car faucet: "Where did you delay? Douzi and Qiaohui have both arrived for a while."

Lin Lan smiled and said, "Passing by the door of Gou's house, Gou Haiyan stopped me and said a few words."

After hearing this, Lin Guodong said in a low voice: "Gou Haiyan is in the same class as you. After you went to Lexing, her family found a relationship and got her to teach Chinese at the Central Primary School in Dashiqiao Commune."

"Her lover is also a teacher of Central Primary School. Mrs. Gou asked about you every time she saw Wu Shufen in those years. She had to show off how filial her family Haiyan is."

"Years ago, we carried home the TV and sewing machines that Xiangyang honored his parents. Mrs. Gou was so jealous that she and my second aunt went outside and talked a lot about our family."

"There will be many things that will make Aunt Gou jealous in the future!" Lin Lan thought of Second Aunt Lin, and smiled, "Second Aunt really hasn't changed since she was young, her brain seems to be broken by a door, and she specializes in doing things. Things that harm others and do not benefit oneself.”

Lin Guodong nodded in agreement.

Wu Shufen came out from the main room and pulled Lin Lan: "It's cold in the yard, go to the main room and sit by the fire."

Lin Guodong looked at his old lady, pretending to be dissatisfied and said: "Mom, you are biased, why don't you call me in to warm up when I am here?"

Wu Shufen looked at him reproachfully: "Go and help your sister-in-law kill the fish."

The three brothers went to the river this morning to throw some nets, and caught some river balls, black fish... and a lot of yellow peppers.

Lin Guodong nodded and walked towards the water tank in the corner.

Lin Lan went to the kitchen to say hello to Zhang Xiuqing and Zhao Xiaohui, and saw Qiaohui helping to light the fire in the kitchen.

"Xiaolan, you look so pretty!" Zhao Xiaohui exclaimed exaggeratedly, wiped her hand on the apron, stepped forward and lifted up the woolen coat Lin Lan was wearing, "I will definitely go to your place next year to choose two beautiful ones. coats."

Lin Lan smiled: "Since you didn't go to Dongshi, I left two woolen coats and sweaters for you, one for sister-in-law and one for you."

Fortunately, I took the clothes home and put them away in advance, otherwise there would be no leftovers.

"Really! Thank you Xiaolan, thank you!" Zhao Xiaohui took Lin Lan's hand and thanked her happily.

When Wu Shufen came back, she told them that Xiaolan's business was very good. Customers who went to the store to buy things seemed to be free of charge, and bought them in large and small bags.

Zhang Xiuqing also thanked happily: "Xiaojun and the others took the beans to the consignment store of the brigade to buy dumping cannons."

Zhao Xiaohui hurriedly said: "Xiao Lan, don't worry, it's okay to throw the cannon, it won't blow up anyone."

Swinging cannon is a kind of firecracker that children like to play during Chinese New Year. There are gunpowder and a few stones wrapped in a paper bag, and they are thrown to the ground with force, and the sound is crisp and pleasant after the explosion.

Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "Zhigang has also bought these two days, and Qiaohui and Douzi like to play cannonballs."

Zhao Xiaohui looked at Qiaohui in front of the stove, and said with a smile: "Qiaohui has changed after staying in the city for a while, and I almost didn't recognize her this time."

Qiaohui blushed and said, "I think I'm still the same as before, cousin, please don't laugh at me."

Zhao Xiaohui looked at her with a smile: "It's still the same as before, if you praise you, you will blush."

Zhang Xiuqing smiled and laughed at herself: "You think we are all old and thick-skinned, and this is the time when little girls are easy to be shy."

"Ha...haha..." Zhao Xiaohui laughed happily.

She is very happy these days, and she will go to Dongshi to do business in the next year.Today my sister-in-law brought a fashionable woolen coat again, and she will wear a woolen coat and high heels like the people in the city from now on.

Lin Lan talked a few words with the two sister-in-laws in the kitchen, and then went to the main room.

There is a brazier burning in the middle of the main room. Peanuts and beans are placed around the brazier, and sweet potatoes and yams are buried under the ashes.

Lin Changyou scalded some rum and warmed it in a copper pot, and put a small white enamel jar in front of each of them, which contained rum.

Li Xiangyang, father and son of the Lin family sat in front of the brazier, eating roasted peanuts, watching TV, and drinking wine. The days were very pleasant.

Lin Guoliang waved to Lin Lan: "Xiao Lan, come quickly, Dad boiled your favorite sweet wine, come and have a drink."

"Come on, Dad will pour you some." Lin Changyou waved at her, and poured half a tank for her with a smile.

Lin Lan sat next to Lin Changyou, reached out to take the enamel jar he handed over, looked at the milky white liqueur in the enamel jar, brought the ceramic jar to her mouth and took a sip, the faint sweetness and aroma of the wine instantly Full of mouth, sweet and moist heart.

Lin Changyou looked at her lovingly: "Don't drink too much, it's easy to get hot."

"It's delicious!" Lin Lan slammed the bar twice, and took another sip.

Li Xiangyang picked up the copper pot and added some to her with a smile: "I'll brew it for you later if I like it."

Lin Guoliang pointed to Lin Lan: "She doesn't like sugar, but likes to drink sweet wine. My mother brewed sweet wine, and she often drank the wine secretly, leaving behind a pottery bowl of distiller's grains."

Lin Lan recalled those warm scenes in the memory of the original owner, and also showed a happy smile: "I still remember that my family was poor at that time, and only my mother would make sweet wine once during the Chinese New Year. My parents and brother knew that I liked to drink it. Every time I filter the rum for me to drink."
