"This is a gift from my sister."
Bai An hadn't heard Lu Jinan call her "sister" for a long time, so she felt a little embarrassed when she suddenly heard it.
So he couldn't help but look up at Lu Jinan. Lu Jinan still had a smile on his face, as if he was really happy.
"Brother, you should sit down and eat." Bai An took out the small stool next to him from under the table and said to Lu Jinan.
Lu Jinan sat next to Bai An, picked up the food on the table and started eating.
But the sight of him only eating the food and not the vegetables made Bai An frown slightly, and he looked in the direction he followed his gaze.
"Brother, no matter how beautiful the flowers are, they can't be eaten with rice." Bai An put a few chopsticks of shredded potatoes in Lu Jinan's bowl and said with a smile: "So you like flowers so much."
Do you like flowers?
Lu Jinan thought about it and realized that he didn’t particularly like flowers, it just happened that this bouquet of flowers was given by Bai An.
Thinking of this, Lu Jinan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
...
...
Lu Demin and Wanqing both looked up at Lu Jinan, their eyes full of confusion.
Bai An also felt that Lu Jinan was too abnormal today. He had a sad face because there was no gift for him. On the way back, he picked a bouquet of flowers for him. Although he was happy, it was even more abnormal.
I thought about how Lu Jinan was like before. Did he like flowers so much before?
Wanqing saw that Lu Jinan was so happy, so she said softly, "Jinan, since you like flowers so much, why don't you try planting flowers with me tomorrow? It just so happens that Baian picked up a few bags of flower seeds a few days ago."
When Bai An heard his mother say this, he looked up at Lu Jinan curiously. Will he follow his mother to plant flowers?
If you can plant flowers now, you can have your yard full of them next spring.
By then, the whole yard will be colorful and full of vitality, and there may even be butterflies.
Bai An's mind was full of beautiful fantasies. At this time, Lu Jinan stopped smiling, but Bai An began to smile foolishly.
Before Lu Jinan could reply to Wanqing, he saw Bai An beside him with shining eyes and giggling foolishly.
He couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Mom, I won't plant flowers with you for now. I also want to build a pigpen and raise pigs. I can exchange them for more food coupons during the Chinese New Year."
When Bai An heard that Lu Jinan wanted to raise pigs, she scratched her head. She really couldn't imagine what Lu Jinan would look like when he entered the pigsty.
Lu Demin nodded and said, "It's not a good idea to live on what you pick up. You may not be able to pick up anything one day. It might be a good idea to raise pigs."
Bai An, who was standing by, heard that they were really going to start raising pigs, and he couldn't help but feel a little repulsive, because he had heard someone say before that pigs can taste the flavor of their own kind in the food. But even if he knew that, he would still eat it.
The thought of eating his own kind made Bai An feel uncomfortable all over.
"Do we have to raise pigs? Can't we raise other animals?" Bai An raised his hand and said, "I think raising cattle is a good idea."
Lu Jinan raised his eyebrows and signaled Bai An to continue.
Bai An counted the benefits of raising cattle on his fingers, "Cows are clean and docile. We should raise cows so that we can drink milk every day. Cows can also give birth to calves, so we can buy two cows with the money for one cow."
Lu Jinan stopped Bai An from continuing to speak, his face full of helplessness, "Listen to what you are saying."
Well, Bai An also felt that what he said was getting more and more outrageous.
"If we really want to raise pigs, can I not take care of them?" Bai An said pitifully, holding Wanqing's hand: "I can help mom with housework, and go out to pick up things every day. Can you please not let me feed the pigs or something like that?"
Wanqing smiled, touched Bai An's nose and said lovingly: "When have we ever asked you to work? Now your clothes are still washed by your brother."
Lu Demin also said, "Just let your brother do the feeding of the pigs. Bai An is our family's lucky star. How can we let him feed the pigs?"
After hearing his parents' assurances, Bai An turned his gaze to Lu Jinan again.
Lu Jinan wanted to laugh, but couldn't. "Do you think your brother will let you feed the pigs?"
"Probably not," Bai An sat up straight, picked up the bowl and said, "The food is getting cold, let's eat quickly."
"Oh, right." Lu Demin adjusted his glasses, "Bai An, did you know that Da Zhuang's birthday is coming up?"
Bai An raised his head from the bowl with a confused look on his face and shook his head, "He didn't tell me."
"I saw his dad on the road today, and he asked me if I wanted to go celebrate his birthday with him."
"When is his birthday?"
Lu Demin thought for a while and said uncertainly, "Maybe the day after tomorrow."
“So fast.”
Early the next morning, Bai An heard the crowing of roosters outside the window, so he quickly put on his clothes, got out of bed, washed his face casually and went out.
Lu Demin, who was brushing his teeth, saw Bai An walking out in a hurry and spit out the water in his mouth with a few gurgling sounds.
"Where are you going, Bai An?"
"I'm going to go find Da Zhuang and the others."
It was just dawn and Wanqing was cooking in the kitchen in the dim light. When she heard Lu Demin say that Bai An was going out, she hurriedly called out.
"Da Zhuang may not be awake yet, Bai An, do you want to eat something before going out?"
"No need, I'll just eat at Da Zhuang's house later."
When Lu Jinan saw Bai An like this, he knew that Bai An was going to get a gift for Da Zhuang.
He was right. Bai An wanted to prepare a gift for Da Zhuang.
Bai An came to the secret base that he and Da Zhuang Cui Ju had discovered before, and placed the snacks he brought out of the space on the ground.
Fortunately, I passed by that snack shop before. Although the snacks in that shop were too outdated at that time, they are just right now.
Fragrant tiger paws, fruit cakes, crispy twisted dough sticks, assorted candies, White Rabbit milk candies, salted golden dates, and Cheetos, a snack similar to French fries. In this day and age, granulated sugar can also be considered a snack.
Bai An looked around the space again and found some red bean popsicles, but they melted easily. He would wait until Da Zhuang and the others came over and then give them some.
Bai An had seen these snacks in the city, so it wouldn't be strange to see them, and they weren't too expensive. For example, the tiger paw was 4 cents each, and the fruit cake was also 4 cents each.
After careful calculation, although it only added up to a few dollars, Bai An didn't quite understand the economic situation in the village. A few dollars should be able to buy a lot of things in the village. Bai An would put some of these snacks at home from time to time, and she was used to it.
Forget it, I’ll just ask Da Zhuang and the others not to tell anyone when the time comes.
A piece of cloth was spread on the lawn, and Bai An carefully arranged the snacks. Da Zhuang and the others would gather here every day, so now all he had to do was wait for them to come.
