Chapter 82 Selfish nature, hiding the greasy residue and eating alone
Li Lan sneaked into the house with a big cloth bag. Ah Huang followed her and tried hard to sniff the bag.
Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao immediately broke free from the aftereffects of the fire avoidance diagram.
"Look at how greedy Ah Huang is, there must be food in the sister-in-law's bag!"
"You're so sneaky and don't want to give us the food! As if you care about no one."
Su Tang likes to eat it and is happy to share it with others. The whole family eats the oil residue after making soap, and they don't care at all.
It’s really infuriating what Li Lan is doing now.
"I'll buy you whatever you want to eat!" Yu Miaomiao gave her a gentle and doting pat on the head.
Now they can make money and have the confidence to spend money!
In the future, you can buy a house, a car, a washing machine, a refrigerator... eating some snacks and meat will not be a problem at all!
"My Miao is the best to me!" Su Tang responded in a delicate voice.
The orange smell.
Then, they both laughed: "If others see us like this, they will think the wrong thing."
"I hope the two brothers see it. It must be a wonderful scene."
"And then I couldn't get out of bed for three days!"
"Well!"
End of chat.
Su Tang couldn't stand Li Lan's sneaky behavior, so she waited for Li Lan to get closer and then opened the door: "Hey, sister-in-law! You're back?"
"Uh, you didn't go to the county town to set up the stall today?" Li Lan was startled and subconsciously hugged her big cloth bag tightly.
"I didn't go today. Sister-in-law, what are you holding? I seem to smell a fragrance." Su Tang asked deliberately.
Li Lan became even more nervous and stammered, "No, nothing..."
Alas, I never expected that they would be at home!
Usually they go to the county town to set up a stall at noon? What happened today? Did they wait for her knowing that she was going back to her parents' home to get some oil residue?
Li Lan quickly thought of the words in her mind: "I'm about to give birth, so I went back to my parents' home to ask for some scraps to sew some clothes for the child."
"I'm the first child of the Mu family, so I don't have the opportunity to pick up old clothes to wear. I can only find a way myself."
“…”
The lie started out smoothly, and ended up involving Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao.
"When you have children in the future, you won't have to deal with as much trouble as I did. Just wear my son's old clothes."
Yu Miaomiao rolled her eyes: You really gave her face! Su Tang shouldn't have asked that question.
"Is that so! Then eldest sister-in-law, take out the cloth and let second sister-in-law help with the design." Su Tang smiled slyly and stepped forward as if to pull the cloth bag.
Li Lan was frightened and ran back to her room.
But she locked the door when she went out. Now if she wants to go in, she has to unlock it first!
Li Lan was sweating when she was unlocking the door.
She was afraid that if she was a step slower, her big cloth bag would be snatched away by Su Tang.
Su Tang leaned against the wall, looking at Li Lan as if she was watching a monkey show, with the corners of her lips raised.
Yu Miaomiao patted her head: "Such a lot of talk! Am I making you poor?"
"Not really, I just like to watch the fun and look for emotional value." Su Tang giggled, "Let's go, let's go out for a walk, it's boring to stay at home all the time."
"Let's go and get some stuff to make paper tomorrow. We'll make it into fans and bookmarks to sell during the Dragon Boat Festival," said Yu Miaomiao.
Su Tang's eyes lit up: "Yes! I have forgotten these skills. But will anyone buy them?"
"I don't know. It doesn't cost any money, so I might as well give it a try."
“Just give it a try!”
They loaded the two things into a bamboo basket and went out for a stroll.
Li Lan watched them go out and felt relieved.
I opened the big cloth bag, and there was no rag inside. It was just a bag of oil residue.
Some of it was crushed on the way, but it didn't matter, the crushed pieces could be used to make pancakes. Yu Miaomiao's fried oil cake was very fragrant.
Li Lan recalled the taste and felt very hungry.
Not today, the two sisters-in-law came back at some point. Maybe they were just hanging out on purpose, waiting for her to make pancakes and then come back to attack.
Selfish nature suppresses the desire for food and drink.
Li Lan swallowed her saliva, dissolved some thick brown sugar water with boiling water, rolled the oil residue in it, and ate it happily with the brown sugar water.
Just go to sleep after eating, someone will make dinner anyway.
Unexpectedly, after I fell asleep, Ah Huang would sneak in, rip open the cupboard and steal the oil residue.
Ah Huang was also smart, knowing that he would be easily discovered if he ate inside, so he would take a few pieces each time, run to the yard to eat, and then steal again.
When Li Lan woke up, Ah Huang's belly was full.
"You damn dog! How dare you steal my oil residue? I'll beat you to death!" Li Lan angrily raised the broom to hit Ah Huang.
The dog was very agile, running here and there, and Li Lan couldn't hit him at all.
For fear of disturbing the fetus, she could only swallow her anger and not argue with the dog, sitting in the yard panting.
Old Mrs. Mu had a stomachache in the field and went home early.
Seeing this scene, I was a little confused: "Li Lan, what's wrong with you?"
"No, nothing." Li Lan blinked guiltily. "I had a nightmare just now and got scared. I'm taking a rest in the yard."
"Be careful not to disturb the fetus." said Old Mrs. Mu.
Li Lan forced a smile: "Yeah."
"Did you go back to your mother's house to get some scraps of cloth today?" asked Old Mrs. Mu.
Li Lan: ???
"When I came back, I met Xiao Yu and Su Tang. They told me that you used scraps of cloth to make small clothes." said Old Mrs. Mu.
Li Lan could only nod: "Yes."
"I have a few patterns for clothes in my room. Bring the scraps of cloth and I'll put them together for you."
Li Lan: ………
She only brought back a bag of oil residue, where were the rags?
"how?"
"Mom, you work hard, don't worry about it. I'll do it slowly when I'm free at home."
"My grandson will be born by the end of the year, so I have to prepare for it whenever I have time. For my grandson, I am willing to be a little tired. Go get it!"
Old Mrs. Mu turned around and went into the house to look for clothes, and Li Lan had to go back to the house to look for the broken pieces.
She hasn't made new clothes since she got married, so where would she get the scraps of cloth?
As a last resort, I found two old clothes that I seldom wore, cut them into several pieces, and took them out to hand in the task.
"This pattern is familiar, I think you had this dress before?"
Old Mrs. Mu actually remembered it!
Li Lan laughed dryly: "Yes! This cloth is very common."
This tricked Old Lady Mu over, and the two of them took the scraps of cloth to compare and cut.
After making two small pieces of clothing, Old Lady Mu gave instructions for the next task: "Tailor Wang has a sewing machine. Send it to him to sew it someday. Remember, the stitches on children's clothes should face outwards."
"good."
Li Lan's heart was bleeding.
I lost two pieces of clothing and had to pay someone to sew them! Oh, it was all Su Tang and Xiao Yu's fault for being so talkative.
"Li Lan, you brought just these scraps of cloth home today?"
"yes."
Old Mrs. Mu's eyes were full of regret, and she muttered, "You're already pregnant, and you don't even know how to nourish yourself."
Li Lan thought to herself, considering the trouble I caused yesterday, it would be good enough if I could get the oil residue back today!
Alas, every time I think of the lard I wasted yesterday and the basin of unsuccessful soap liquid, I feel painful!
I hope that after leaving it for a while, the foam can be wiped off and I can use it to wash my face or hands at home to make up for the loss.
At this time, she would not have expected that the basin of waste soap liquid left behind would cause her trouble again.
