Hard work

Chapter 244 Friendship
After Lan Hua'er dried the sausages in the sun, the job was almost done.All that was left was to wait for her to get everything back inside the house by night.

Every time Zang Lang came home when Lan Huaer was about to put things into the house, and when he saw Lan Huaer was about to get busy in the back, he hurried over to help and told him to take all those things back into the house. , while asking, "Little lady, you don't think it's troublesome to hug you back and forth."

"How can I do that?" Lan Hua'er followed beside him, originally thinking of snatching half of the things in his hands, but later found that Zang Lang refused to give up at all, and had to hold everything in his arms , I couldn’t help stomping my feet in discouragement, "How can I put it outside? There is night dew in the night, so if you put it outside, it will get wet. It might get moldy later. You still have to move it back to the stove to let the smoke smoke. Hey. What are you doing? It’s not a heavy thing, so you have to rush to hug it.”

Zang Lang grinned and said, "Since it's not sinking, let me hug you, little lady. It's only a few steps away."

"It's not heavy, but it's dirty. Look at you, you want me to wash your clothes later. It's covered with oil, so it's not easy to wash." Lan Hua'er sighed, but she also knew that Zang Lang was I feel sorry for her, so I can't say anything, I can only let Zang Lang be so busy.

Zang Lang was also used to Lan Hua'er's temperament, so he didn't say much, just laughed.If Lan Hua'er really didn't want him to do something, she would take it back no matter what.Since there is nothing to grab at this moment, it is agreed to him to do it.

In the past few days, it happened that Yang Langzhong was cooking ginger juice and brown sugar water for Lan Hua'er in the house. He said it was a way to nourish yin, but he didn't know where he got it, and said he wanted Lan Hua'er to try it.

Lan Huaer knew that this was a useful medicine before, it is said that it can relieve pain and is good for the body.Many girls who suffer from severe pain during menstruation rely on this method to survive.It's just that she has never been in pain before, and she doesn't need to drink such things much.I can't even remember it for a while.It was only after Yang Langzhong talked to her that she suddenly understood and smiled to herself secretly.

This is obviously something I know, but I have completely forgotten it.And it's such a private boudoir secret.Fortunately, Langzhong Yang is also a little old, she can be considered a modern person, and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

If people in the family ask, Yang Langzhong will only say that it nourishes yin and nourishes cold, and it is especially effective for women's bodies.Lan Hua'er thought about it, and even prepared for Xiaodie's part.

Xiaodie is older than her, but her bones have never grown. She has been in the Zhao family for so long, and she has never had menstruation, maybe she hasn't started coming yet.She didn't speak very well, and Lan Hua'er didn't know how to ask her, so she could only keep the question in her heart, thinking that she should observe carefully.

If Xiaodie's body changes at any time, she will always be able to see it.

Since Xiaodie's body is not good and she looks weak, Lan Hua'er also made up for her.The only embarrassing thing is that there is not much brown sugar at home.There is still a lot of honey, but that is not the same effect as brown sugar.

Brown sugar is a bit of the medicinal effect in traditional Chinese medicine. I replaced it with honey, but it didn't have that effect.

Lan Huaer simply gave Yang Langzhong all the brown sugar in the house, and asked him to watch it cook.The big deal is to use honey instead of sugar when you look back.And here is the taste of the north, and sugar is not an irreplaceable seasoning anyway.Even if she doesn't add sugar when cooking, the people in the family won't say anything.

Zang Lang still remembered Lan Hua'er's stomach ache before, and he knew ignorantly that the woman would have such a few days every month.He seemed to have seen the recipe of ginger juice and brown sugar when he was in the capital, and this time he saw Langzhong Yang made it, maybe he remembered Lan Hua'er's uncomfortable look again, so he quietly asked Lan Hua'er behind his back:

"Little lady, is she feeling unwell recently?"

He asked so nonchalantly, but it made Lan Hua'er confused, "No, it's been fine recently. What's the matter?"

"I saw Mr. burning that." Zang Lang scratched his head, "I've seen it before, and it was eaten by little ladies when they were not feeling well. It still hurts like that?"

Lan Hua'er knew what he was talking about after he said that.It was a bit strange for him to ask this question.But it's not something you can't see.She looked back and thought, except for the first time, she didn't seem to be that uncomfortable anymore.I don't know if it's because I pay more attention on weekdays, or the prescription prescribed by Yang Langzhong is not bad.

Uncomfortableness is natural, and pain is inevitable.But as long as you endure it, the feeling will pass.

And since then, things haven't stopped.She never had time to stop and rest, or even think about being sick.Now being asked by Zang Lang, she could only shake her head in a daze.

"No. Of course it's uncomfortable, but...it doesn't hurt like that. Maybe it's all over. It's okay, don't worry."

In fact, Zang Lang didn't fully understand the matter of these women's bodies, so when she told her this, he just nodded.

The day finally passed smoothly.

Lanhua'er's sausages are exposed to the sun every day, thanks to the high fences around them, the sausages are finally dried very smoothly.

Originally, what she was most worried about was that the sausage was exposed to the sun, and if the victims outside saw it, it would cause trouble for the family.I'm also afraid that the weather is not dry enough, so I can't dry the sausages. Instead, I'm wasting the good leg meat.

Looking at it now, although the air is not very dry and the wind is not too strong, but after all the sun is fierce, at least there is no need to worry about the sausage getting moldy.

It is said that things like sausage and bacon must be let out to dry in autumn when the north wind blows, so that the taste is particularly good.Lan Hua'er has never made it herself, but she has only heard this saying, and she has never thought about when the bacon and sausages are the best.

For her now, as long as she can make something successfully, it is already very good, and it doesn't matter which season it is better to cook.In these days, it's pretty good to have a stutter, so how dare you be picky.

These meats were originally intended to be dried.It's just that if it follows the usual customs of the people in the village, it should be smoked.Lan Hua'er has never liked smoked meat very much, and always thinks it has a weird taste.This will make sausages, but just try a different taste.

Now that it looks like it will be successful this time, Lan Hua'er doesn't have to put so much thought on the sausage anymore.

She began to worry about the disaster victims outside and the project to clear the mountain road.

It's not that she is so leisurely that she has time to worry about people's livelihood outside, but that all the men in her family are doing this work outside. She has nothing else to do, so what she thinks is naturally what those men in her family do. matter.

At the beginning, the disaster victims outside probably felt that they also wanted to go to the town, so they very automatically and consciously joined the team to clear the mountain road.But gradually, those victims began to feel that this was a good opportunity to extort money.

It's not right to say it's extortion—they're so hungry that they can't do anything, and it's not so easy to find food on the mountain.They devoured everything that was easy to find, and going further into the mountains was the territory of ferocious beasts.They dared not go up at all.Since they couldn't find food on the mountain, they could only turn their eyes back to the village.

I don't know if it's because Zang Lang and the others shared barbecue in the village before, and those victims picked a few leaders, and it is said that they went to the village head's house and came to negotiate with the village head.It is said that since they have worked hard to help the people of Aozi Village clear the mountain road, they should naturally get some revenge from Aozi Village.They don't ask for much, just take care of food every day.But such a request and so many victims are simply not what Aozi Village can bear now.

The village head rejected them decisively, and said, "The road is cleared, so you can go to the town. The town is doing disaster relief, and there is still a way for you to survive. Staying in this village, I really think Can you survive? Who in the village has this spare food for you to eat. If you can’t keep going, you can learn from Zhao Jiayan’s family. Isn’t there a lot of food on the mountain?

These are all learned by Huahua to Lan Huaer.

Lan Hua'er frowned when she heard this, "The village chief's speech is so aggressive."

Gaihua also nodded, "Yeah. The village chief is not living comfortably these days. There is something going on in the village, so he can't be at ease. Those victims are actually not too much, even the village can't support it anymore."

Lan Hua'er glanced back at the cellar at home, thought about the food stored in it, couldn't help but sighed, lowered her eyelids, and let out a "hmm".

Before the Zhao family and the Yan family partnered to distribute the meat to the village, everyone's attitude towards them was also somewhat different.Whether it is a disaster victim or a villager, when they see Gaihua, Yan Dalang, or even Zang Lang, they will take the initiative to say hello.Originally, those victims were very afraid of Zang Lang, but now they suddenly became enthusiastic, which made Zang Lang feel that he was getting used to it.

He is a simple person. When he sees people's enthusiasm suddenly, he secretly tells Lan Hua'er when he turns around, saying that he thinks those disaster victims are actually living a very pitiful life.

What a pity.

Lan Huaer led Zang Lang to order things, and told him in a low voice, "There are only these at home. You said that if they are separated, how will they live next year?"

Zang Lang didn't mean that at first. Hearing what Lan Huaer said, he stretched out his hand to pull her, "Don't be sad, little lady, I just need to work more."

He said work more, but he didn't know whether to go to the back mountain to hunt wild animals or do more physical work so that the mountain road could be cleared as soon as possible.
