Liu Fen was obviously in a trance, immersed in her own world, and didn't even greet her sister-in-law.
If it weren't for the gauze on Xia Xiaolan's forehead, Li Fengmei would have thought it was her sister-in-law Liu Fen who hit the pillar, and she looked stupid and didn't respond. Putting aside the thoughts in his head, he quickly put his son on the bed and helped Liu Yong move things.
Liu Yong cursed in a low voice that Xia's family were all bullies, and then briefly told the story, including that the three of them were about to leave, just in time for the three Xia Dajun brothers to return home, and they left Dahe Village after being punched and kicked.
"You make up the bed in the Westinghouse and let Xiaolan and the others live in it."
Liu Yong meant that Xia Xiaolan's mother and daughter were already living at home, so don't go back to Xia's house to be angry.
But he didn't say how long he stayed. Xia Xiaolan was well versed in human affairs, so she quickly expressed her loyalty to Li Fengmei: "I want to start a small business, save some money and settle down in the county. There are many opportunities in Anqing County, so that these people in the countryside won't gossiping."
I won't really live in my uncle's house all the time.
Uncle must have sincerely taken in the mother and daughter, and aunt Li Fengmei may not be so narrow-minded. Xia Xiaolan is a mature person, but she knows that there will inevitably be conflicts between relatives after living for a long time. Anyway, she is only staying temporarily, and she is not afraid to explain a few words to reassure her aunt.
Liu Yong also heard Xia Xiaolan's subtext.
He didn't refute, thinking that Xia Xiaolan would not be so optimistic after suffering. Young people are always fearless, thinking that the outside world is very simple. Yes, some people have made money in business in the past two years, but can Xia Xiaolan endure hardship?
Under the light, Xia Xiaolan found that her aunt's smile was much more real.
"You girl, the family doesn't speak two different languages. If your uncle lets you and your mother live together, then you can feel at ease!"
She is so generous because Liu Yong has been able to make money in recent months.
After a while, adding two more people to eat will not be unbearable.
Li Fengmei quickly tidied up the house. Nowadays, people don't pay attention to it. The bed with straw on the bottom and mats on top is much better than the old Xia family's dilapidated house. Xia Xiaolan's mother and daughter were kicked out of Xia's house yesterday, and they have been running around at night and during the day, and they are actually really tired.
The mother and daughter washed their faces and lay down on the bed. Xia Xiaolan patted Liu Fen's hand: "Don't worry, I will definitely let you live a good life. Both of us are doing well. Don't steam buns to fight for breath. Live a good life , let others see!"
After a while, Xia Xiaolan thought her mother was fast asleep, but Liu Fen replied slowly:
"Mom just wants you to live well by yourself, Xiaolan, don't blame mom, I have wronged you"
Xia Xiaolan said a few words of comfort to her, and any verbal guarantees were a little pale before the results were achieved. She was so exhausted that Xia Xiaolan fell asleep while talking.
The next morning, Xia Xiaolan woke up to the smell of food.
Liu Fen got up early and took care of the kitchen work. The little cousin Taotao was in good spirits today, and was hanging around his aunt in the kitchen. Liu Fen gave him a steamed bun from the steamer.
"My aunt's steamed buns are better than my mother's."
Anqing County is on the border between the North and the South, and later generations will be an embarrassing area that is cold and unheated in winter. Eating habits are both north and south, and the Liu family eats sweet potato porridge with big white flour steamed buns for a few days.
Xia Xiaolan opened the box and rummaged through the clothes, but there was an unexpected surprise.
In the box, she found a pile of change tickets wrapped in a handkerchief. There were 18 yuan and 30 cents in total, which was the original owner's private money.
There are also a few letters at the bottom of the box, with bold and hot words It was written to her by Wang Jianhua. Enduring nausea and watching it, Xia Xiaolan laughed. This person has boldly shown his love to 'Xia Xiaolan'. Xia Ziyu's methods are really superb. Xia Xiaolan originally wanted to burn the letter, but after thinking about it, she stuffed it back into the box. Maybe when it will come in handy?
As soon as the box was closed, Taotao entered the house.
"Auntie, sister Xiaolan is awake!"
Taotao is very clingy to Xia Xiaolan, even though Xia Xiaolan used to have a bad temper, she can't stand Xia Xiaolan's good looks!
Children don't care what the mainstream aesthetics are. Their aesthetics of people and things are natural, undistorted, more direct and clear His sister Xiaolan is good-looking, and she looks good when she loses her temper.
Xia Xiaolan has never been in contact with children, but her mental age is not 18 years old. Seeing cute children, she has no resistance at all.
Reached out and touched Taotao's forehead, Xia Xiaolan was very happy:
"The forehead is not hot, it seems that the fever is gone."
Taotao is stupid, thinking that his sister Xiaolan is so gentle to him, more like a follower.The same, he followed Xia Xiaolan when she washed her face, and he didn't leave when Xia Xiaolan combed her hair. Glancing at Xia Xiaolan, she took a bite of the steamed bun: "Sister Xiaolan, does your head still hurtyou look so good-looking!"
Yes, she looks really good-looking.
After tidying up a bit, combing her hair into two braids, and changing into a clean unpatched dress, Xia Xiaolan also felt that she was too good-looking.
After packing herself up, Xia Xiaolan led Taotao to the kitchen.
Liu Fen looked normal again, I don't know what she was thinking.
"You will be able to eat in a while. Your uncle and aunt are going to see the rice. They will be able to thresh in two days."
Just as he was speaking, Liu Yong's voice sounded:
"Boiled sweet potato porridge?"
He took off the bamboo hat on his head and hung it on the wall. When he saw Xia Xiaolan, he smiled and said, "Are you awake? I told your mother not to wake you up. You are injured and need to be taken care of. Wild boars were hunted in the next village. Your aunt buys meat." went."
No year or festival, no family in the countryside is willing to eat meat.
Taotao's saliva almost flowed out.
Xia Xiaolan was naturally moved.
Liu Yong was originally poor and generous, but now that he has made some money, his hands are even looser. Before the grains are returned to the warehouse, Liu Yong will not go out, so his bicycle will be empty:
"Can you ride?"
Xia Xiaolan nodded, she had really ridden this old-fashioned bicycle. The appearance is not small enough, but it can carry goods. It was originally designed to transport the army.
What Liu Yong meant was to let Xia Xiaolan ride a bicycle to do the egg business.
Start the business while the farming is busy. If you can't bear the hardship, Liu Yong can think of other ways for her.
Li Fengmei really brought back two catties of pork and a stick bone. Three-finger-thick fat is oily fat. Nowadays, people don't want lean meat. Everyone lacks oil and water in their stomachs. Fat meat is the most popular. Li Fengmei was quite proud of getting such a good two catties of meat.
The family gathered around the table to eat, and Li Fengmei felt better when she heard Xia Xiaolan and Liu Yong discussing the details of business in a serious manner.
"How are you going to get your eggs into the city without the bike knocking them over?"
In 1983, there were no villages, not to mention cement roads, not even asphalt roads, and it was really bumpy all the way to the city by bicycle. If a person can stand it, an egg will break. If 10 out of 100 eggs are broken, Xia Xiaolan will not make any money at all.
Xia Xiaolan has been thinking about this question since yesterday.
The long-distance transportation of eggs in later generations has egg trays, and the roads are smooth, so they can be transported no matter how far they are. Her conditions are poor now, so naturally she can't get any plastic egg trays, but Xia Xiaolan has other alternatives.
"Weave a small basket with reed rope, the size of an egg, and put the eggs in it one by one, connecting them in a string."
Filling the gaps with cut straws, straws, etc., should be able to replace the function of shockproof foam.
Liu Fen was very excited, "I can make it up, just tell me how it looks." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
