Lan Lan obviously couldn't empathize with his thoughts. She counted the money and said, "Only ten dollars?"
"Didn't the old man say that this was used by the empress he served, and that the empress only used things worth ten dollars?"
Old Man Lu didn't say that he still had five dollars in his pocket, he just smoked in silence.
After Lan Lan talked for a while, she added, "Old Second has written again. Life is hard and cold over there. Now that we have money, should we send him something?"
Then he glanced at his grandson who was crying himself to sleep. "Dabao and Xiaobao are obviously a few months older than the third son's daughter, but they look even younger than that little girl, and they don't have her cleverness."
"Buy some more flour and millet to give them more food."
"Old Five's family just had a baby. The midwife said those two were premature and need to be taken good care of..."
"It's for the adults and the children as well." Lan Lan said this with reluctance. Long Yujiao swallowed the hundred yuan herself, and she had to raise the child.
"And the old lady from the old house is pestering me for money every day, why don't I give her one dollar?"
…
Old Man Lu didn't bother to pay attention to Lan Lan's words. After a while, he said, "You made it look like you were worth ten thousand dollars for ten dollars."
"Oh, ten thousand dollars, I can't even dream of that."
…

As soon as Chen Wu woke up the next day, she took the vase and went to find Xu Yin.
Xu Yin yawned and played with it for a while: "It's true."
"Won't it be very valuable when it's auctioned off later?" Chen Wu's eyes sparkled.
Xu Yin thought for a moment and said, "There's no need to auction it off. With the reform and opening up, there will be more ways to make money. Why would I want to auction it off? I'll just keep it as a display."
"For flower arrangement."
Shen Wu...
What a luxurious usage.
She is not that rich person. She looked at Xu Yin with a smile and said, "I'll listen to you."
Xu Yin didn't have time to chat with her here. She had breakfast in the morning and went to work early. Every time the year draws to a close, it is a time when they are busier, but they also see hope for a vacation.
When Xu Yin was halfway through her bike ride, she met Widow Jin.
Widow Jin even stopped him from getting out of the car: "Xu Yin, can I take your car?"
Xu Yin moved the front of the car to the side: "No."
He left after saying those two words and rode away on his bike.
He ignored Widow Jin who was behind him. Widow Jin felt cold in the wind, but after thinking about it, she decided to continue walking forward.
A few years ago, the police station detained another group of people.
When Old Man Lu heard this, he was glad that he was not discovered. However, when he heard the news of labor reform, he didn't dare to do anything for a while.
As for how Lanlan planned to spend the money, it was also rejected.
Long Yujiao deducted a hundred yuan from the money to replenish her health, but the old couple was unwilling to accept it no matter how she thought about it. It happened that the sheep raised in the village gave birth this year, so the village's task sheep were taken away.
Lu Tao continued to instruct: "You have to feed the lambs with grass and remember to leave some for them."
…
In the blink of an eye, it was time to slaughter the New Year pig. This year, Lu Xuan and Lu Ye went to help as usual. Chen Wu thought that if she was given some pig blood, she could stew it with sauerkraut.
If there is a day that makes the whole village happy throughout the year, it must be when the New Year pig is slaughtered. Each family calculates how much meat they can get on average, and they gather around early in the morning.
Chen Wu left late.
When she was carrying her daughter there, Old Mrs. Feng was smiling and talking to Lanlan, who was holding one daughter in front and carrying another on her back.
"Oh, four great grandchildren! That's great."
"Lanlan, your wife can give birth."
"I heard that you're the one taking care of everything. Aren't you tired?"
"You have to milk the goat several times a day, feed the baby, and take care of the baby. You must be tired, right?"
…
Old Mrs. Feng is quite old and skinny. When she meets Lanlan, she acts like a bitch, sometimes with her hands on her hips and sometimes with her head leaning forward, as if she can't help but stimulate her inner itch.
Chen Wu and Xu Yin stood together.
Eat melon on tiptoe.
Seeing this, Xu Yin took Manman away.
But as soon as the little girl entered her arms, she twisted her body and pointed in the direction of Old Lady Feng, looking just like her mother beside her.
Xu Yin was speechless.
Is this imitation or strong genes?
Thinking this in her heart, she still stood on tiptoe. She was much taller than Chen Wu, so holding her child high and standing on tiptoe gave her a much better view. The little guy was happy to see this and looked very happy.
Mrs. Lu felt aggrieved and finally said, "I don't even want to pay attention to you!"
After saying that, he left angrily.
This year, Chen Wu and Xu Yin's families shared one pound and six ounces of pork. The team leader was in charge of distributing the meat. Since Xu Yin had flattered him so much, he got the best pork belly.
The pigs raised by farmers don't grow that fast, but the texture of the meat is very beautiful. Chen Wu was holding the meat, thinking about how to eat it deliciously.
As expected, Lu Xuan and Lu Ye shared a bowl of pig's blood.
This pig blood, sliced pork belly, and stewed with sauerkraut and vermicelli is suitable for eating in this season. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. She also thinks it is delicious, and her mouth is watering just thinking about it.
Chen Wu was going to go to Mai Miao Niang to borrow some sauerkraut again. She had no other choice. She had learned from Mai Miao Niang how to make sauerkraut, but she didn't know why it went bad, even though she had made it very carefully.
Her godmother has lived in Laoya Village for many years and can also make it, but the taste is not as good as Maimiao Niang's.
Chen Wu went home and brought back two sausages.
As soon as the pig was slaughtered, the village already felt the festive atmosphere of the New Year. Chen Wu and Xu Yin went to Mai Miao's parents' home together.
When you go.
Maimiao's mother was teasing Tiedan. Tiedan ate and drank well, and was loved by many people in the family. He was chubby, but he inherited Laoliu's good looks, and he looked good even when he was fat.
When she saw Manman: "Sister...baby."
This is what sister baby means.
This little guy is even slower than Manman in learning to speak. It’s not that he doesn’t understand, but he just doesn’t want to speak. Mai Miao’s mother was afraid that he was mute, so she went to ask Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Zhao observed.
Finally, he said, "He is just too lazy to speak. A noble man speaks slowly, so don't worry."
This made Maimiao's mother very happy.
However, when the little guy saw Manman, he was very happy and took the initiative to share his toys with Manman.
Knowing that Shen Wu came to borrow pickled cabbage, he took a basin and gave her several.
"You don't need to bring anything next time you come. This cabbage is not worth much. I know you like it, so I pickled two whole jars of it this year."
They are all large water tanks that are more than half a person's height.
Chen Wu said, "I love eating what you cook. I would be embarrassed to come to your house if you don't bring anything."
"Why don't you see any wheat seedlings?"
When Chen Wu mentioned this, Mai Miao Niang became happy and lowered her voice to say, "She's pregnant again. She sprained her waist while working a few days ago and has been feeling uncomfortable ever since. I asked Lao Zhao to come here to see her and he told her to stay in bed to recuperate."
"There's nothing for her to do at home."
When Chen Wu heard this, she realized that it was no wonder that Lao Liu had recently gone into the mountains with Lu Xuan, Lu Ye and the others, and had not sold anything they caught. It turned out that they were pregnant again.
Chen Wu congratulated again.
When I came out of Maimiao Niang's house and passed by Old Lady Feng's house, I seemed to hear the sound of a quarrel.
In the middle of winter, Lanlan was standing in the yard holding her child, listening intently.
