"How dare you hit me? I was right, why did you hit me?"
Liu Lan covered her painful face and yelled with jealousy
She had worked a whole day and was exhausted. She now had to cook when she got home, so she was in a bad mood.
She saw the two male educated youth helping Li Lin carry firewood in the backyard, which made her unable to hold back and burst out.
"If you talk too much, you'll get a beating." Li Lin rubbed his aching hand, said lightly, and went back to the backyard.
"Li Lin, I'm not done with you," Liu Lan shouted angrily when she saw the man leave.
"Stop shouting, everyone is still waiting to eat, hurry up." Li Dilai urged while washing clothes.
She had worked all day and was now tired and hungry. Liu Lan hadn't cooked yet. She was really ignorant.
Upon hearing this, Liu Lan swallowed her dissatisfaction and went to pick vegetables to cook.
On the other side, Li Lin looked at the firewood at the door, then looked at Fang Mingyi who was washing his face not far away, and went into the house to light a fire and cook.
"Linlin, it's just pork skin. I bought it specially. Use it to wipe the pot when you cook. Then you can simmer the rice while I stew the meat. Otherwise, the meat will go bad tomorrow."
Seeing that Li Lin was about to cook, Hu Yingying came over with a small piece of pork rind.
"Then put two more potatoes. I want to send a bowl to the side. After all, they helped us."
As Li Lin spoke, he took out four potatoes from the sack beside him and handed them over.
Then he asked, "How much did you spend on the meat? Let's split it in half."
"No, it's not much money. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going back to cook." Hu Yingying waved her hand, turned around and ran back to the house.
However, Li Lin went to the counter and pretended to take money. She took out one dollar and a potato and gave them to Hu Yingying.
"You are such a person. I told you I didn't need it, so why did you still send it to me?" Hu Yingying was unhappy when she saw Li Lin coming over to send money and potatoes.
"Even brothers should settle accounts clearly. From now on, we should pay each other when we buy things. This will be good for both of us."
Li Lin has always known that money must be calculated clearly even among close people, otherwise if there is a conflict one day, it will be difficult to deal with.
"Okay, but we don't need the potatoes. You can take them back. We have a clear account of money, so forget about the food. Besides, you want to cook rice, so I won't provide any food."
As Hu Yingying spoke, she pushed Li Lin out and started peeling potatoes, washing and cutting meat.
Li Lin returned to the room and started to light the fire. When the pot was hot, she used the pork skin to wipe the pot.
In just a moment, the aroma of meat wafted away.
"Mmm, it smells really good."
Zhu Liyan was sitting in Fang Mingyi's room, cooking. When he smelled the aroma of meat, he couldn't help swallowing.
"Look at you, you look so useless, as if you haven't eaten meat in your entire life."
Fang Mingyi looked at Zhu Liyan with disgust, but he had to endure it even though he was disgusted, because he was his childhood friend after all.
"Brother Yi, shall we go up the mountain tomorrow?"
Although Zhu Liyan had eaten a whole roasted rabbit two days ago, he couldn't help but feel greedy when he smelled the aroma of the meat.
"OK."
Although Fang Mingyi didn't care much about food, his stomach started to growl when he smelled the fragrant aroma of meat.
So let's go up the mountain to get some wild food tomorrow to fill our stomachs.
But it was different in the backyard. It was dinner time. I smelled the aroma of meat and couldn't eat the food in the bowl.
"Sister Zhao, how about we improve the food some other day?"
Liu Lan smelled the aroma of meat and looked at the fried vegetables without any oil or water and sorghum rice porridge on the table. Her stomach really started to growl.
