Lin Anning returned to Zhang Fenglan's house first, and Huo Shen went to the brigade headquarters to borrow some tools and things.

He unbuttoned two shirt buttons and squatted outside to build a barrel.

The wooden boards are smoothed with thin sandpaper, put together and tightly hooped with iron wire, and then brushed with a layer of tung oil on the inside and outside to dry.

Seeing some fragmentary things gradually taking shape under his strong hands.

Lin Anning couldn't help but be stunned, and then thought of something.

"You haven't had lunch yet? Do you want to eat dumplings?"

"eat!"

Huo Shen responded and continued to polish the edge of the barrel.

Lin Anning cooked the dumplings and put them in a bowl. When she brought them over, she saw that his hands were empty.

He simply squatted down, picked up a dumpling, blew on it, and handed it to his mouth.

"eat!"

Huo Shen was startled, then raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

"And this treatment?"

"Is it delicious?"

Huo Shen nodded.

"good to eat!"

"Who packed it?"

A hint of pride appeared on Lin Anning's face: "Sister Tiantian, Comrade Li, and Comrade Su's mother and I arranged this together."

"Aunt Zhang, you must have met her, right?"

Huo Shen stopped working and took another look at Lin Anning.

"You learned it when you went to the Lin family?"

The little girl loves to eat dumplings, but she can't make them well. Grandpa Lin is away from home all year round, so he can't make them for her.

Every time I go back and ask the little girl what she wants to eat, she always says dumplings.

Over the years, she has not been allowed to do anything, but now she is actually doing it in a decent way.

Lin Anning nodded and took another dumpling.

"Someone took care of it before, but no one will take care of it later, so you have to learn..."

She loved eating dumplings since she was a child because the food at home was not delicious.

Grandpa has to treat people, so she usually cooks.

But when she was little, the things she made were simply unpalatable.

Later, I accidentally had a meal of dumplings at Grandpa Huo's house, and I immediately felt that they were the most delicious food in the world.

After returning home, she pestered her grandpa and asked him to teach her.

She couldn't learn anything at the time, but later Huo Shen couldn't stand it and would make dumplings for her every time.

She is also happy to be free and only eats ready-made food every time.

After returning to the Lin family, life is worse than being with grandpa.

When she was hungry and didn't have enough to eat every day, she would secretly make a few dumplings.

Of course I couldn't eat meat stuffing, so I picked up some rotten vegetable leaves thrown away by the Lin family's parents, chopped them up and packed them in.

I can't eat too much for fear of being discovered.

After ten days and a half, she was satisfied with a few dumplings.

You can only use a small amount of noodles at a time. You can't let the Lin family's parents find out. If it's wasted, it will be gone.

Her dumpling-making skills were also perfected during that time.

Huo Shen's heart twitched when he saw Lin Anning like that.

He had known that the Lin family's parents were not good things, but he thought that the little girl was their biological child no matter what, so nothing would happen to her.

After Grandpa Lin left, the little girl didn't want to go back to Huo's house, so he left her alone.

As a result, the little girl suffered so much.

He thought that they should have known for a long time that the little girl was not their biological child.

What about the little girl?He had already prepared to run away, but when did he know about it?

"I never asked you. Even if you go to the countryside, there are so many good places to go."

"Why do you have to come to Hongqigou? Don't tell me that you knew Huo Tiantian was here!"

Seeing that he couldn't be fooled, Lin Anning bit her lip.

Looking at Huo Shen frankly, he said softly.

"I don't want to lie to you..."

But she doesn’t want to say it now!

Those clear eyes are so watery that one can see everything at a glance.

What else doesn't Huo Shen understand?chuckled.

"Success, don't ask."

Lin Anning saw him stop and handed the bowl over.

"Are you done? Eat it yourself!"

"Nope!"

Huo Shen raised his eyebrows lazily and continued to knock.

"I'm busy, please feed me a few mouthfuls."

Lin Anning looked at him angrily, but then thought that he was helping her clean up the mess, so she could only feed him dumplings patiently.

When Zhang Fenglan came back from work, she saw Lin Anning squatting in front of her home with a gay man from a distance.

The two were talking and laughing and getting along quite harmoniously.

She remembered that the gay man seemed to have come to Huping Town to do some kind of project.

As he was watching, Huo Tiantian came up from behind. Seeing this scene, he hurriedly explained.

<divclass="contentadv">"Auntie, don't get me wrong, that's my brother."

"I have watched little An Ning grow up, and I am closer to her than her own brother."

"I guess I'm just helping out with some work, I don't have anything else in mind."

With that said, she hurried forward and called Huo Shen.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Huo Shen looked up, clapped his hands and stood up.

"Okay, I've finished eating the dumplings, I'll go back first!"

After taking a few steps, I thought of something.

Turning around, he knelt down, took Lin Anning's hand, and placed a pen in her palm.

"By the way, congratulations on passing the exam. Now you are an excellent Dr. Lin."

Lin Anning's ears turned red as she looked at the hero pen in her palm.

She didn't say anything, how did Huo Shen know?

When he raised his head, he saw Huo Shen walking further and further away, and Huo Tiantian followed hurriedly, not knowing what he was talking about.

Zhang Fenglan walked forward with a hoe and glanced at the barrel on the ground.

Lin Anning hurriedly put away the pen and explained.

I thought she would be angry, but she didn't care and took the bucket and dipped it into the ditch.

"Anyway, it's something that has been used for many years. If it breaks, it will break."

"Don't just ask unknown gay men to help. After all, they are not your real brothers."

Having said this, she paused and looked at Lin Anning.

"If you have any work, wait until Dafu Dagui comes back and ask them to do it for you."

Lin Anning nodded and happily returned to the educated youth center from Zhang Fenglan's house...

--------

At this time, it was noon, and the sun was so hot that people were almost melting.

Su Dagui inquired about Lin Jiangong's home, wiped the sweat from his head, and knocked on the door.

"Hello, is this Comrade Lin Jiangong's home?"

After a while, there was the sound of kicking footsteps.

Then, the door was opened.

"At noon, who is it?"

Su Jiaojiao was wearing a white dress and two braids, standing impatiently at the door.

After being in the city for more than half a year, she no longer looks like a village girl in the countryside.

The person looks a bit whiter and a bit more foreign.

Su Dagui's eyes were a little hot, and he reached out to touch Su Jiaojiao's head.

"Why, you don't recognize me?"

Su Jiaojiao came back to her senses and cheered in surprise.

"Brother? Why are you here? Ouch, I miss you so much. I thought you forgot me!"

Su Dagui smiled and wanted to go in.

"Where can I do it? Isn't it true? If you come to Jiangcheng for a job, I will come to you immediately?"

"By the way, where are your parents?"

Su Jiaojiao blocked the door and bit her lip in embarrassment.

"They went to work and will be back later."

"As you know, they don't want me to have contact with my old family."

"I have to study now, and I don't have any extra money, otherwise I will have to take you to a state-owned restaurant to eat out."

Su Dagui took a look at the Lin family's small building. Compared with their adobe house in the countryside, it was not that good at all.

There was a table in the room with the door open, and Diamond's electric fan was blowing directly on the table.

There is also half a watermelon on the table.

It can be seen that Su Jiaojiao is doing well.

He nodded to express his understanding, and took out a few coins from his trouser pocket.

There was also a piece of chocolate, and one was handed to Su Jiaojiao.

"My eldest brother and I gave these twenty to you. You can buy whatever you want."

"And take this chocolate, too. I heard it's imported."

Su Jiaojiao took the money and rolled her eyes angrily.

"Brother, you can do it!"

"I still don't know what Su Dafu's temperament is? He is an iron rooster, never plucking a dime."

"If you have some money, you will either give it to Zhang Fenglan or his wife. How could you think of me?"

Huo Tiantian: "Auntie, don't get me wrong, my brother and little An Ning are closer than brothers and sisters."

Huo Shen: "Mom..."

Zhang Fenglan: "There seems to be something wrong."
