The next day, Lian Xiaomin did not go out in the morning. She stayed at home and cooked a delicious meal for everyone.
Even if she is clumsy, she can't always let Xiao Hehua cook. She has to try her best.
I may have to go back to Sandaogou in the evening and cook the meal myself.
She chose the simplest ones and made a total of four dishes for lunch: scrambled eggs with green onions, pork ribs stewed with corn, stir-fried pork slices with cucumber, and egg custard.
The last one is of course just to make up the number.
Save the chicken for dinner and let Lotus stew it. The one I stewed myself is not very tasty.
In fact, no matter how the food she cooked tasted, the six children still ate it with relish.
It’s full of oil and there’s so much meat, so it tastes delicious no matter how they eat it.
Lian Xiaomin kept reminding the kids to eat slowly. Look, that little tiger even put his face in the rice bowl. Ouch!
There were grains of rice on Xinghua's little face, and she was biting a piece of meaty pork ribs in big mouthfuls. At this time, she no longer looked like a kitten, but more like a puppy, holding on to the meat bone.
Lian Xiaomin looked at her cute little appearance and couldn't help but reach out and touch the little hair on her head.
"Eat the apricot blossom slowly and chew it more."
She found that Yunlai was reluctant to eat meat and only ate vegetables, so she directly put three pieces of ribs into his bowl.
"Eat. How can your body get better quickly if you don't eat? I have plenty of ways to get meat. Just eat as much as you want."
Yunlai smiled, finally lowered his head and started eating meat.
At one o'clock, Lian Xiaomin took out two sets of autumn clothes, underwear, socks, etc. for each person from the west room where she lived, and gave them to Lanlan and put them in the kang cabinet in the east room.
She discovered that Lanlan was a girl who loved cleanliness. Maybe she didn't have the conditions to do so before, but now she just loved washing and scrubbing, and she also liked the smell of soap.
"Lanlan, you are responsible from now on. You must urge everyone to take a bath and change clothes frequently. It is too cold in winter. You can use bath tickets to take a bath. Ask your brother Yunlai for them and go to the same bathhouse as before."
Lanlan's small round face was full of seriousness.
"Sister, I'll remember this! We're going to be clean children in the future. You like clean children!"
Lian Xiaomin pinched her little face with pity. These children are afraid that she doesn't like them. Alas, they are too insecure.
"After dinner, go to the utility room at the back and get a few apples. One for each of you. It's enough for you~"
Lanlan nodded, and happily ran to the back with Xiaohuzi to get the apples.
Lian Xiaomin discovered that she was not at home yesterday, and Yunlai must have taught these children something.
It probably means that in the past, everyone was a beggar and just wanted to survive. They were afraid of freezing to death and even broke the locks of other people’s doors.
It’s different now. I have to understand the rules and not touch my sister’s things.
The little ones obviously didn't dare to run to the back room to get food.
She didn't lock the door of her own west room when she went out, but no one would go in.
The five kids are very well behaved and seem to have good personalities.
Now, Lian Xiaomin has to tell them several times before they dare to go to the utility room to get apples to eat.
"You all stay at home. I'm going to be out for a while. An older sister will come around 2 o'clock. Her last name is Yan. She's the one I mentioned who will teach you how to read."
"...I will be back around that time, and I will bring you some delicious food~"
Sheng Lai tilted his head and said, "Little Sister Jiang, what's delicious?"
"What do you want to eat?"
"Um...I want some cookies."
By the way, his brother had promised to buy him some biscuits before. This was all promised by Yunlai. Lanlan’s red cotton-padded jacket did come true, but he forgot about the biscuits.
Yunlai might have decided to go back to Tumenzi Village and take back the treasure, so that he would have money and could buy things for his younger brothers and sisters.
He is still young and too brave to even dare to take revenge on Meng Laohei.
Moreover, if Meng Guang had not followed his brother and wanted to see what he was doing and ran into him, this kid would have really succeeded.
He launched a surprise attack and knocked Meng Laohei unconscious with a stick. It was quite powerful.
"Okay, I'll bring you some cookies when I come back. You should learn to read well."
Lian Xiaomin rode her bicycle and headed straight for Dalong behind the black market.
As soon as I got there, I saw that the doors of the two bungalows were open and there were several people inside.
"Xiao Jiang, you're here. This batch of goods is really great. I brought people to count them all early in the morning."
"...Your people are really efficient in their work. They stacked everything neatly and were easy to count~"
Dalong and his brother Daming both had happy expressions on their faces.
The most lacking thing in winter is cotton. In this era, productivity is low and cotton must be purchased with tickets, but where can we get so many cotton tickets?
Those who work in a company would only get a few taels of cotton coupons a month.
Every family has one quilt for their entire life. In fact, these 12,000 kilograms of cotton are far from enough to meet the needs of one or two counties, so it is easy to sell them.
Daming has handed over the account book, totaling 87,000 yuan.
I took 25 large yellow croakers, which means 62,500 yuan.
The remaining money, after deducting the 1,000 yuan for buying the house and the 200 yuan that Dalong helped to advance for Lao Liu.
The last of the yuan was exchanged for old items, all of which were of good quality, there were more than 40 items in total.
There is also a small box of pearls, agates, jade, diamond jewelry, etc. Although the craftsmanship is not so good, it is also sparkling and eye-catching.
Even Xiaomin took a look at it and felt that it was worth it to get so much with such a small amount of money. It would be worth a lot if she could sell it to a jewelry store later.
Dalong himself has collected a lot of valuable items in the past few years, and he took out three treasures.
Lian Xiaomin looked at the "Ming Yongle - Blue and White Fish and Algae Pattern Large Vase" in her hand, and her mouth was almost unable to close. Fortunately, she was wearing a mask that covered it tightly.
Dalong knew every piece of it by heart and introduced them to her.
These are all treasures. Even if you can only get a few of them, it will be all worth it!
Finally, Xiao Wuzi and Jindou helped to carefully put everything away and stacked the boxes into a cart.
When Miss Jiang leaves, just take it away and give her the car. There is no need to return it.
Lian Xiaomin thanked Dalong and knew that he was sincere and wanted to cooperate with her more, so she put in a lot of effort on these things.
"Xiao Jiang, I really like the wine you gave me. I opened two bottles at noon to try. It's really good to drink it fresh."
"I went to Lao Liu's home again and brought 30 bags of milk powder. He was very happy and said he was waiting at work. As long as the paperwork was completed before the end of the month, there was no rush."
"...As for collecting the house, he said he plans to leave by train on December 3rd, so you can collect the house after the 3rd. Here is the address and the key. Of course, he has a set of keys in his hand now, and I guess you will change the locks later."
