53 Chapter 54
Lin Lan raised her hand and picked a rose on the wall of her house, threw it on the ground and crushed it with her feet, and smiled charmingly at her: "Remember Zhang, it's only three things, if there is another time, grandma will let you understand , Why are the flowers so red!" After saying that, he walked away.

Zhang Yazhen waited for Lin Lan to leave, and arrived at the gate of the courtyard in three steps at a time. She quickly closed the door, leaning against the door and falling off in a cold sweat.

Lin Lan saw He Cuicui's hurried back when she came out of the gate of Xiong's house, and went home without even bothering to look at her.

The three of Zhao Dehai came down from the roof, and Master Xu behind him smiled and said, "It won't take an afternoon to complete the work."

"I'm sorry to bother you," Lin Lan said gratefully.

Zhao Dehai nodded politely: "No trouble, let's go, her aunt."

"Go slowly!" Lin Lan sent a few steps politely.

After the three of them left, Lin Lan picked up some taro and put them in the bag, and picked up some broken tiles in the yard.

Go down to the side of the ditch, put the bag in the water and shake it back and forth vigorously, the taro and the tiles will roll together, and the taro skin will fall off quickly.

Lin Lan laid the bag flat so that the taro skin stuck to the bag floated away with the water, and cleaned it up with a knife.

Go home and cut the taro into thick slices, stir-fry it with lard, add water, cover the pot and start to stew the taro rice.

The remaining two lumps of blood and a handful of pea tips made a blood soup.

When I went out to the courtyard, I saw that the sown vegetable seeds were ready for transplanting.

Now she recognized carrots, green onions, cabbage, cabbage, tomatoes, spinach, and carmine radishes among the vegetable seedlings.

The planted yams, rapeseed, eggplant, sea pepper and side dishes are also alive.Cowpeas, green beans, cucumbers, wax gourds, and pumpkins all climbed onto the melon stands, and the sunflowers placed in rotten pottery pots beside the courtyard dam also turned green and sprouted.

The ramie under the courtyard wall has grown a few leaves, and the courtyard is also beautiful.

Lin Lan thought of cleaning up those two talkative women today, so she didn't plan to go to the garment factory to find a booth. She planned to sell all the things early today and come back early to plant vegetables.

Also, some of the taro that Yang Liying gave had sprouted. She wanted to plant another row of taro in the potato ditch, and she also wanted to sprinkle a circle of small green vegetables on the edge of the rapeseed field, so that they could be used as salt vegetables after harvesting the rapeseed greens.

Lin Lan planned all the corners and corners around the yard in her mind, only then did she realize that she had reached the back door of the old lady's house, and saw that the old lady and Xiaodouzi were already eating at the table.

She smiled and said, "Uncle, you all started eating!"

The old lady nodded cheerfully: "Yeah! Come back, we're all going to eat."

"Hey! Then I'll go back, Xiaodouzi eats obediently."

"Understood!" Xiaodouzi exhorted loudly, "Mom, remember to feed Rhubarb."

"Okay, I won't be hungry for rhubarb."

After Lin Lan came back from the old lady's house for dinner, Zhao Dehai and the two masters came.She hurriedly put the food in the cupboard and put the lid on the pot.

The three of them stood in the yard waiting for her to tidy up, and got busy on the roof.

Lin Lan came out of the kitchen, thinking of the rooms that had been picked up, the dust that fell from the roof was everywhere.

He turned around and went to the woodshed to find a long bamboo pole, then found a worn feather duster and tied it to the bamboo pole, and carried it back to the room.

I found a pillow towel in the cabinet and wrapped it around my head, and held up a bamboo pole to sweep off all the dust and cobwebs on the beams, rafters, and purlins.

After the dust on the roof was cleaned, the tarpaulin covering the canopy bed was removed and placed in the courtyard dam, and the rotten newspapers pasted on the windows were torn off when they went back.

I went to the ditch to bring a bucket of water and came back, found a rag and wiped the inside and outside of the three main rooms. I stood in the room and looked around and felt that it was much brighter.

After tidying up the house, Lin Lan cleaned up the yard and the back of the house before dragging the oilcloth to the ditch to wash it out. After she cleaned everything up, she saw children carrying schoolbags to school one after another.

Lin Lan said to Zhao Dehai who came down to get the tiles: "Third brother-in-law, I have to go mowing the grass. When I come back, you may all finish the work. I will give you the wages first, and you will give the two masters for me."

Zhao Dehai nodded: "The tiles are divided into two and five pieces. The master doesn't care if the meal costs three yuan a day, and you can give me another one yuan."

Lin Lan knew that Zhao Dehai was helping for nothing, so she didn't say much, gave him a dollar, and smiled gratefully: "I'm sorry for your inconvenience, third brother-in-law."

In this era, three tile-roofed houses only cost a few hundred yuan. Relatives and friends who mainly come to help with the work will not accept your wages.If you want to give money, people will think that you look down on him and want to break up with him.

Zhao Dehai grinned and showed his white teeth: "They are all relatives, as long as you can help, you can talk." He felt that as long as Lin Lan didn't do anything, and didn't go to Liying to borrow money from his family, he had plenty of strength, and working was not counted. a thing.

"Then I won't be polite." Lin Lan said with a cheerful smile, and gave him the key again: "Please give the key to my uncle later, and I will go to her house to get it after work. Also, you let the third sister Come to my house some time, I have something to say to her."

Zhao Dehai nodded with a smile: "She came to visit this afternoon, but the second aunt came home and called her away. I will tell her when she comes back." After saying that, he climbed up the wooden ladder with his bag.

"Let's talk about it after she's busy!" Lin Lan went to the woodshed and went to the foot of the mountain with a sickle on her back, put down her back, bent down with the sickle and started cutting.

At noon, the sun shone hotly on the earth, and the rough spear edge of the oat grass slashed across the back of the hand, leaving traces of it, which were then stained with sweat and burned.

He took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat, then sped up to cut out the cattle grass in the afternoon and piled it aside, ran several times in a row, carried the cattle grass back and spread it out in the drying yard, and went home with the sack.

The courtyard door was open, and when Lin Lan entered, she saw the old lady sitting on a small stool cutting beans, and she stepped forward with a smile: "Uncle, you are here!"

The old lady nodded: "I'm getting old, I sleep too much during the day and can't sleep at night, I just brought Douzi back when he was going to sleep, and when he was sitting there, he was going to doze off, so I will cut the peas for you to pass the time."

As she said that, she took out the key from her pocket and handed it to Lin Lan, "Zhao Dehai gave me the key, and he cleaned the chimney for you after digging through the roof."

Lin Lan took it and stood in the courtyard dam looking at the roof after picking it up, and said with a satisfied smile: "The third brother-in-law and the two masters work neatly and meticulously."

"If you are a craftsman, you have to be neat and meticulous, and if you are rough and rough, who dares to find him."

"That's what you said."

Lin Lan poured water and scrubbed it, then took out the pillow towel to wrap up her hair, cleaned the dust in the kitchen with a bamboo pole, cleaned the stove and cupboards, and started to cook red beans and steam white beans.

She put the soaked red beans under the steamer, and put the big white beans in the steamer. After the red bean paste was cooked, the big white beans were also steamed, killing two birds with one stone.
