Be a little landlord

Chapter 40 Jiao Xiang

  Brother Yan's face turned red, he was remembering, not reminiscing, he turned around in embarrassment, and showed Lin Lixuan the back and the back of his head, a bunch of stupid hair curled up in his hair, Lin Lixuan chuckled , walked over and hugged him through the quilt, Brother Yan was picked up by him like a small burrito, his hands and feet were all wrapped in the quilt, making him feel like a little turtle that couldn't turn over.

Let Brother Yan lean his back against the head of the bed, Lin Lixuan rubbed over and branded a kiss on both sides of his face, Brother Yan reflexively blocked it with his hands, the quilt was not wrapped firmly, and he didn't have any strands, so he raised his hand , the quilt on his shoulders fell off, revealing a large area of ​​scars, Lin Lixuan took a deep breath, and one couldn't hold back, and he groaned again.

...

When Brother Yan finally got up from the bed, it was already past noon. During this period, Lin Lixuan was afraid that he would get a stomachache from hunger, so when Brother Yan was in a daze, he coaxed him to drink half a bowl of porridge. He rubbed his eyes Mou, I shed a lot of tears yesterday, and now I feel a little uncomfortable when I open my eyes wide. When he was asleep, he vaguely felt that Brother Lin wiped his whole body with a hot towel and changed his clothes. Now his body is dry and not sticky. greasy.

Brother Yan put on his coat and put on his shoes. After everything was done, he stared at the closed door with some trepidation. He didn't dare to go out. It was as if he had returned to the day when he and Brother Lin just got married. They didn't come out after noon. The door, Zhao Liniang must have known it... Brother Yan finally got up the courage to push open the door, just in time to meet Zhao Liniang who came in from outside the room, brother Yan said in a low voice: "Mother."

Zhao Liniang understood the expression in his heart , and smiled lovingly at Brother Yan, "Are you hungry? Mother will heat you some food."

"Brother Yan is awake?" Lin Lixuan also came over to have a look when he heard the commotion inside, "I'll go to the kitchen and get you some food." Get some food..."

Brother Yan saw that the opponent's legs were still a little weak, so he took a step back unconsciously, Zhao Liniang covered her mouth and smiled: "Brother Yan, go back to the room and rest, it's the first day of the new year, You don't need to do anything."

The custom in Bixi Village is that you can't go out on the first and second day of the new year, and stay at home to spend the holidays with your relatives. It is said that you may encounter disasters when you go out, and if you encounter unfortunate things on the first and second days of the new year, it is a sign. It's been a bad year.

Brother Yan nodded, went back and continued to lie under the quilt, waited for Lin Lixuan to bring him food, and wolfed down three big bowls of rice, fearing that he would choke, Lin Lixuan brought him a bowl of ribs and radish soup to feed him , The pork rib soup has been simmering on low heat since the morning, and the soup tastes thick and fragrant.

After eating three bowls of rice and another bowl of soup, Lin Lixuan wiped the corners of his mouth, "Are you still hungry? Do you want me to get you

another bowl." "No need." His stomach was bulging When he got up, seeing that he had eaten enough, Lin Lixuan took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen and washed them well. Brother Yan, who had eaten and drank enough and was nestled under the blanket, suddenly had a feeling of turning over and making decisions. He ticked sweetly. Mouth.

When Lin Lixuan went back to the room, he saw Brother Yan, who was decadent like a lazy pig on the bed. It was rare to see such a lazy little pair. The corners of Yan Brother's eyes still had the crimson color from last night, looking from top to bottom In the past, Lin Lixuan was so tempting, he unbuttoned his coat, lifted the quilt, went to bed and rolled with Brother Yan.

The big palm touched the round belly, Yan Geer laughed, "Let go, it's so itchy."

"Rub it for you, digest it, it's all eaten into a ball..." Yan Geer snuggled up to his chest , let him knead obediently, Chinese New Year is good, and you can enjoy the fun of being a pig without any scruples.

Their food shop in the county will not open until the seventh day of the lunar new year. I heard from Chu Zihang last year that his manuscript will be published in these few days. The money was paid to him, and after calculating the profit of the shop, he took a fancy to the barren hill behind the end of the village. Even though it was a mountain, it would cost close to three hundred taels to buy it.

Lin's family doesn't have many relatives, so they don't need to go anywhere for the new year. Lin Lixuan and Brother Yan went to Ji's house with gifts and gave Brother Yu a small red envelope. They also greeted each other, they came to see the Lin family, surprised that the Lin family is really different from usual now.

Ge Dingxiang, who is close to Zhao Liniang, came to hang out at their house and looked at her outfit enviously: "Did you buy this in the county town? I have never seen this style before. What a skillful hand it is to make it?"

Zhao Liniang was wearing the clothes made by Brother Yan, and the middle-aged man looked much younger in the bright red clothes. Against the background of the bright colors, the fine lines on his face faded away, which was completely different from his usual gray-faced appearance. Cleaning up the hem of her clothes, she said with a smile, "Our brother Yan made this with his own hands..."

"Brother Yan?" It was actually made by people from their village. Ge Dingxiang approached Zhao Liniang, "Brother Yan came to you The family has really changed a lot." Ji Yan's appearance in Ji's house and they have seen it since they were young, the old lady Ji doesn't like Shuang'er, and the days of Brother Yan and Brother Yu in Ji's house are not counted. Well, it's not up to these two brothers to eat and drink. They were originally a handsome little pair, but they were turned into a pitiful sallow and skinny little boy. The Ji boss's family was both funny and pitiful in the eyes of others. Looking at how the three of Ji's family are doing, and then looking at their family, what's the use of showing respect to Mrs. Ji?

Brother Yan has changed, and the Lin family has also changed a lot. Zhao Liniang is a hard-headed, orphaned and widowed mother who really lived his life, but when she saw that kid Lin Lixuan, he was the one who changed the most. Ge Dingxiang just arrived When she was in bed, she actually saw that kid picking up firewood and washing the dishes. Was that the Lin Xiucai she knew who was doing nothing and holding books all day long?

And this young couple is really affectionate. She even saw Lin Lixuan kissing her brother secretly. Although she was at her own home, she, a neighbor, was embarrassed to see them hugging each other. They were married for three or four months. The newlyweds are as sticky as the white rice they eat at home.

Sticky and dense.

Mrs. Ge went back and said to her husband: "What they eat now is white rice, which is white and clean rice that has been peeled off the shell. I have seen it. It is so beautiful white rice. It tastes delicious and sweet. They also boil bone soup to drink... By the way, their house made it so fragrant a few days ago, it is fried rabbit meat, put a lot of oil, and the food will taste better if you add more oil..."

"Stop talking, What's the use of you talking to me? Our family can't afford it, and Ergen has to save money to marry a wife." Old man Ge curled his lips, his family doesn't have much land, and they are busy all year round, so it would be nice if they could save some money Well, how can I care about eating? The child has to spend money to get married, right? If you get married, you might have to repair the house again... "Why don't you ask her for the tofu recipe, and let's set up a stall in the county like her..."

"Don't do it." Old lady Ge twitched the corners of her mouth, "I can't ask about this kind of thing. Why do you tell me about their method? Don't get it to the back, and make the relationship between the two families stiff. You see, many people in the village have inquired before, and what did they ask? "There is a mill at home, so I tried it with soy milk, and it did form lumps after a long time, but the beancurd smelled stinky; if there is no mill at home, how can I afford to buy it, just watch the show on the sidelines."

"Then we have no way to make money, so we can only live in bitterness." Old man Ge turned his head and ignored his wife, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Is this the only way to make money? Zhao Liniang said that she went to the county town to sell chickens and earned more than a tael of silver a few days ago... And, "I think Xiao Shuang'er is also good, our son doesn't necessarily have to marry a daughter..." Bao Nuan thought about

that... ...

Lin Lixuan started to study how to cook Yan Geer in fancy ways when he was free, and made Yan Geer complain endlessly. When they cried out, they could use their hands, and other things—in the end, Zhao Liniang couldn't see them anymore, and threw them out of the room.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I will definitely not do this next time..." Lin Lixuan sincerely apologized, hugged Brother Yan in his arms and coaxed him well, all kinds of sweet words came out endlessly, Brother Yan was not very tempered , It's easy to coax him, if you say good things to him, you won't be angry when you turn around, Brother Yan sniffs his nose and hugs the other party back, he doesn't reject the other party doing this in his heart, but, can it be less frequent.

Lin Lixuan was also surprised by his current state. How could he be as reckless and domineering as a young boy who just had a love affair? Maybe it was because he had held back for too long before, but now he was like a dam to release the flood, out of control. He decided to write a 3,000-word review to change the current situation.

After coaxing Brother Yan, he took him to the kitchen to make some sweet snacks and snacks. There happened to be a lot of sweet potatoes in the kitchen, which could be used to make candied sweet potatoes. The two of them cut the sweet potatoes into strips , Brother Yan's knife skills are good, and the cut sweet potato strips are beautiful, and Lin Lixuan peels the skin for him.

Heat up the fire in the small red clay stove, get a small pot and pour oil on it to heat it up, put the sweet potato sticks in oil one by one, the sweet potato sticks that have been oiled are fragrant on the outside and crispy on the inside, after the oil is done, wash the pot aside, put Clean water and white sugar boiled the sugar liquid, and the sugar liquid rolled up a series of bubbles. Lin Lixuan scooped it up with a spoon. Seeing that the concentration was almost the same, he put a sweet potato stick into the liquid and rolled it again. After the sweet potato sticks dipped in the sugar juice cooled , as if coated with sugar, it's delicious.

The two fed each other a few sweet potato sticks, and felt that the taste was not bad.

Brother Yan took the prepared sweet potato strips to Zhao Liniang to taste. Lin Lixuan stood by the pot, and after washing the pot, he suddenly remembered that he could try making simple sweet and sour pork ribs. The ribs he bought that day were not only used for stewing Go to some, there is still a lot left, just as the pot and the fire are ready-made, just do it, put the cut ribs in boiling water, put water, white vinegar, and white sugar to cook the syrup, put the ribs in the fire to collect the juice——

Brother Yan went to deliver sweet potato sticks to Zhao Liniang, but for some reason he didn't come back for a long time. Lin Lixuan was inexperienced in handling fire, and finally made a bunch of "caramel ribs". The eldest brother shook his head and sighed at a plate of unknown objects with his eyebrows raised. He went to taste it, and there was a faint burnt aroma. Although it looked a little strange, it was delicious.

"Brother Yan, why have you been away for so long?"

"Oh, I made clothes with my mother for a while..."

... It's better not to let Zhao Liniang know about this dish, he pulled Brother Yan, and the two sat in the corner Li ate the whole plate of caramelized pork ribs while whispering, and then silently wiped out the evidence. When Zhao Liniang asked them to eat at night, both of them said they didn't want to eat, which puzzled Zhao Liniang for a long time.

"Brother Lin, you still don't want to cook alone in the future." It's okay when you eat, but your tongue doesn't belong to you anymore.

"Okay..." You can still live if you do evil by the sky, but you can't live when you do evil by yourself.

The two people who were killed by the caramel ribs cuddled up to each other, and it was rare for Brother Yan to sleep soundly at night.

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, the food shops in the county reopened.
