Seeing that it was her, Zhang Yulan smiled so much that her mouth almost stretched to her ears. "Oh, where else can I go? I thought you were almost awake, so I came to look for you. Come on, let's go to my room. I've prepared breakfast."
Jiang Yan was about to refuse when Zhang Yulan said, "Eat a little! I cooked corn porridge for you early in the morning. It's sweet and soft, and with the sour beans we soaked at home, it goes really well with rice. Let's go!"
She took Jiang Yan's hand and walked happily towards her home.
Along the way, he greeted the villagers in a good mood, and Jiang Yan followed closely.
When they arrived at the Lu family, almost everyone, young and old, had gone out. Zhang Yulan pulled a stool for her to sit on, and she took a bowl and prepared warm porridge for her.
Then serve the sour beans fried with minced meat and fried eggs golden on both sides.
Zhang Yulan's family raised two old hens, but there were too many people and the chickens were not enough to feed them, so they were almost entirely eaten by pregnant women and children.
This was specially reserved for Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan was a little embarrassed: "Aunt, you make me feel embarrassed. I'm not picky about food and can eat anything. You don't have to cook it specially for me!"
She felt guilty about being treated like an ancestor.
Zhang Yulan sat opposite her and said with a kind face: "Don't be picky, just bring the ones you like. This corn is grown in our own private plot. It's very sweet. I'll cook sweet corn for you tonight.
Is there anything else you want to eat? I still have some mushrooms I picked. I'll exchange them for a chicken to make soup for you. It's very delicious. Also..."
She took out a few medicine bags from a basket on the side and handed them to Jiang Yan: "Hang them on your body to prevent mosquitoes. This is passed down from our elders and is quite useful."
Jiang Yan felt very warm listening to her chattering. She really liked the Lu family.
She nodded obediently: "I understand, Second Aunt, don't change the chicken, we will fry mushrooms tonight, I don't have any meat!"
Zhang Yulan gave her a disapproving look, "No need, Auntie knows you're willing to give it up, so keep it for now. By the way, do you have any rules for your relationship with Xiao Xiao?"
Zhang Yulan is still very concerned about the marriage of the younger generation, especially Lu Xiao.
In the hail of bullets, one's life is tied to his belt. These people who beg for help are just hoping that there is someone who can control him.
Now that Jiang Yan is here, he has removed the stubborn household member. Isn't he a great contributor to the Lu family?
The key point is that Jiang Yan is a likable girl. Not only Miao Xiuying, but even she wants to take a few more glances at her. The more she looks at her, the more money she makes!
Jiang Yan did not hide the fact that it was her own: "Brother Lu said that he would find someone to propose marriage first and go through the formalities. As for the other things that are not necessary, I plan not to buy them for now!"
Lu Xiao's house is not big. Not to mention after marriage, it is not spacious enough to live in now. They will have to separate sooner or later.
By then, Jiang Yan planned to move out with Lu Xiao. Those who lived in shacks in later generations had become rich, so why should she squeeze in Jian Zilou?
When the time comes, let Lu Xiao find the relevant department to approve a piece of residential land and build a large brick and tile house.
If you have a place to live on the island, you also have to make plans for your hometown!
Zhang Yulan was puzzled when she heard this: "Why not buy it? This three turns and one ring, how impressive!"
The betrothal gift from the brigade was only a few dozen yuan, plus tables and benches.
In the city, it costs about one or two hundred yuan. Parents who are involved in the matter will also prepare a dowry for the girl, such as quilts and wardrobes.
If the man's family gives three turns and one ring, it is enough to prove their satisfaction and appreciation for the woman!
While eating, Jiang Yan said seriously: "Aunt, those are for outsiders to see. What is in your pocket is yours. I live my own life.
I won't be able to use things like a 28-bar sewing machine after I join the army, and it's not easy to take it with me. I might as well go to the island and think about it later."
Hearing her say this, Zhang Yulan looked at her differently and joked, "Oh, auntie underestimated you. Our Xiaoyan is so good at living. You're right. Let's go to the island to buy it.
After all, I spend a lot of time there, so if I buy something, it will be useful there. I can only wait for Xiaoxiao to go on vacation when I come back!"
Jiang Yan chuckled, and Zhang Yulan told her something else.
The sweetness of corn porridge, paired with the crispness of sour beans, and a bite of golden fried egg.
Jiang Yan ate three big bowls and scooped out all the food at the bottom of the pot.
Jiang Yan put down the bowl, still feeling a little unsatisfied.
Seeing that she was eating well, Zhang Yulan smiled and said, "Xiaoyan, are you full? Did I cook too little?"
This girl looks so thin and frail, how many stomachs does she have?
Jiang Yan shook her head: "Aunt, it just happened, I didn't scare you!"
Zhang Yulan had an expression that said, "Being able to eat is a blessing, which means our Xiaoyan is blessed. Take a break, and I'll take you to find Xiaoli. He's leading a team to open up new land!"
Jiang Yan wanted to say no, but seeing how enthusiastic she was, it was hard to refuse.
After sitting for about twenty minutes, the two went out. Zhang Yulan took her to the brigade headquarters to get a sickle and a backpack, and set off towards the mountain.
On Lu Li's side, the educated youth were in a state of distress. Chen Dahe bent over and dug, and his lumbar vertebrae made a "crack" sound. He held his waist and couldn't move.
"Hiss, my waist..."
Lu Li saw that he was sweating profusely from the pain, and it was like ghost fire was poking (sprouting)
"Chen Zhiqing, are you any good? You look like you've been emptied out! You're worse than a woman!"
These words hit Chen Dahai's sore spot. No man would admit that he is incompetent.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Zhiqing, my waist is sprained!"
Two male educated youths helped him sit on one side, while the other hoeed down, "Ah, my feet..."
The one screaming was none other than Mao Dahua, who was jumping like a kangaroo while covering her bleeding foot.
Zhang Li snorted: "Why are you pretending? Let me see..."
As soon as she looked up, the cow dung picked up by Mao Dahua hit her in the face: "Little rotten Shi, tell me again?"
Zhang Li cleared the cow dung off her face and said with a flattering smile: "Mao Zhiqing, you heard me wrong, I didn't say anything. Why are you so careless? Let me help you!"
She took a few steps over, and before she had cleaned her eyes that were blocked by shit, she stepped on the hoe that Mao Dahahua had dropped on the ground.
She fell down and knocked out several teeth. She cried more painfully than if her parents had died: "Wuwuwu, my teeth are...soaked..."
Zhao Shuhua lowered her head and carefully picked up the thorny vines, mocking them in her heart for being clumsy.
Liu Xueer reminded: "Be careful, don't dig me up!"
Zhao Shuhua didn't care: "I'm not blind, how can... Hey, what is this?"
She looked at the black mass in the ground and poked it with her hoe.
With a scoop of hoe, a lump of black fell on Liu Xueer's feet.
Originally she was wearing straw sandals. Feeling the cold and wet touch on her feet, Liu Xueer thought of something. Her whole body froze, and she was so scared that she couldn't speak clearly: "You...you...ah, snake..."
She kicked back at Zhao Shuhua, and the thumb-thick black-banded snake, hissing and spitting out its tongue, crawled towards Zhao Shuhua's face.
Zhao Shuhua was so frightened that she almost fainted, and her adrenaline surged again.
