The happy little days of crossing

"Xiuah, let's go back to the village now."

"Well, Brother Bao, let's go to the place where Uncle Niu parks his cart at the market entrance and see if Uncle Niu is there."

"Okay, let's go now."

The three of Lin Bao'er were walking well on the street, but they didn't expect a person to rush out from the side alley, and after knocking down Lin Han'er, that person also fell down.

Lin Bao'er was startled, and immediately helped Lin Han'er up, and hurriedly asked, "Han'er, how are you doing? Did you hurt from the fall?"

Lin Han'er shook her head, "It's okay, brother, Han'er is fine, there is no pain from the fall."

Lin Bao'er checked it worriedly, and he was relieved when he didn't find any spots on Lin Han'er's body that were red or broken.Lin Baoer picked up the three pieces of cloth that fell on the ground, patted the dust, and hugged himself in his arms. He decided not to hold Lin Haner.

At the same time that Lin Baoer helped Lin Haner up, Zhang Xiuer also helped up the man who fell on the ground and bumped into Lin Haner, and asked, "Little brother, are you alright?"

The man shook his head and said, "I'm fine."

Zhang Xiu'er was relieved after hearing the man's words. Although it was the man who bumped into Lin Han'er, but seeing that the man was dressed in an extraordinary way, if something happened to him and they blamed him, it would be troublesome. "It's fine, just be careful next time you walk, and remember to watch the road, you know?"

The man nodded, "Well, I know, I won't do it next time." Then, the man said to Lin Han'er again: "I'm sorry, little brother, I didn't hurt you."

Lin Han'er shook her head, "Han'er is fine."

"This little brother, it's fine."

Lin Baoer said to the man: "Then little brother, let's go."

The man politely bowed to the three of Lin Baoer, "My husband, the two little brothers bid farewell, and see you again by fate."

The three of Lin Baoer also said goodbye to the man politely, "See you by fate."

What the three of Lin Baoer didn't know was that they were very destined to that person, because they would meet soon.

The man stood where he was, watching Lin Baoer and the three walk away, and just about to turn around, another person came out from the alley. "Brother, why are you so slow?"

The person behind said: "You kid ran too fast. By the way, why are you so dirty? Could it be Zhou Yan, you kid who got into trouble again?"

That person was also Zhou Yan who laughed and said to the person behind: "Brother, I didn't cause any trouble. I just ran too fast and accidentally bumped into a little brother. Fortunately, that little brother is fine."

"Remember to watch the road next time, you have to be careful when you walk, you know?"

"understood."

"Well, let's go, Uncle Zhou should be waiting."

"Okay, brother, let's go." The two walked towards the other side of the market, and their destination was Yunlaiju Restaurant.

The three of Lin Baoer didn't know anything about what happened behind them. They came to the place at the entrance of the market where cattle and horses were parked. It happened that Uncle Niu's car was still parked there, saving them the time to wait for the car.

After the three got into the bullock cart, they greeted each other with the people in the cart, chatted and waited for the people who would ride in the bullock cart later.

After a while, several people came one after another, got into the bullock cart and greeted each other.When Uncle Niu saw that the bullock cart was full of people, he waved his whip and beat the bull on the body, and drove the bullock cart to the village.

As usual, the people on the oxcart chatted about the family’s family, the harvest in the field, what they bought in the town market today, how their children were so skinny, and how sensible their children were. .Of course, Lin Baoer and Lin Haner must be praised.

Along the way, everyone chatted, and the time passed quickly. When we arrived at the village, the people on the bullock cart paid the fare and went home.

The three of Lin Baoer stopped at the door of Zhang Xiuer's house, Lin Baoer smiled and said, "Ah Xiu, remember to go to my house for dinner at night."

"Okay, I'll remember to go."

"Well, Xiu Ah, Han'er and I will go home first."

"Xiu, goodbye."

"Brother Bao, Brother Han, goodbye." Zhang Xiu'er smiled and watched Lin Baoer and Lin Han'er walk away, then turned around and unlocked the courtyard door, and walked into the house.

Lin Baoer Lin Haner's house.

"Brother, I'll open the door." Lin Han'er knew that it was inconvenient for her brother to open the door with something in his hand, so he just opened the door.His elder brother was very kind to him. He wanted to help his elder brother carry things to share some weight, but his elder brother would not let him carry them.

"it is good."

After Lin Han'er unlocked it, Lin Bao'er walked into the yard, and Lin Han'er followed.

"Brother, quickly take off the basket and put your things away. You can rest quickly, and Han'er will pour water for brother."

"Hehe, Haner is so good." Lin Baoer took the water glass that Lin Haner handed him, took a sip, put it on the table, and began to sort out the things he bought from the market today.

"Han'er, my brother took the oil lamp and cloth back to the room first, Han'er, take the salt, sauce and vinegar into the kitchen."

"Okay, brother, Han'er, take these meats into the kitchen too."

"Okay then, after Han'er takes it into the kitchen, wait for me to deal with the meat."

"Well, Han'er knows."

After finishing the conversation, Lin Baoer took the three pieces of cloth and an oil lamp into the room, and the remaining oil lamp Lin Baoer was going to put in the living room.Lin Han'er went into the kitchen carrying the basket.

inside the room.

Lin Baoer put the oil lamp on the table, put the cloth in her hand on the wardrobe, sat on the head of the bed, took out the money bag and the 30 taels of silver notes, and put them on the bed.

Lin Baoer counted the expenses of going to the market today. Three bowls of wontons cost 12 copper coins, three pieces of cloth cost 36 copper coins, the grocery store cost 52 copper coins, and the meat stall cost 80 copper coins. After removing these expenses, he still has 206 copper plates left, plus the 30 taels of silver for selling the formula, his savings are 30 taels and 206 copper plates in total.Fortunately, he sold the formula, otherwise he and Han'er would have a hard time. Today he went to the market to buy necessities for life. This time he went to the market once, so he wouldn't have to go to town for a long time.

Of course, unless something had to go to town.

Lin Baoer put all his savings into an earthen jar, and after hiding the earthen jar under the bed, opened the door and walked out of the room.

kitchen.

"Brother, you are here, Han'er has tidied up everything."

Lin Bao'er rubbed Lin Han'er's head affectionately, "Han'er, you are so good."

"Brother, what are you going to do deliciously?"

"I'm going to make bone soup, stir-fry large intestine with sour sauce, egg custard, and stir-fry cucumber and meat."

"Then Han'er helps my brother cook together."

"Okay, but we have to fry the fat, and clean up the pig intestines and pig offal. Then Han'er will help my brother pick some cucumbers in the backyard first, and then wash them, okay?"

"Han'er, let's pick cucumbers now." After Lin Han'er finished speaking, she ran to the backyard to pick cucumbers.

Lin Baoer took a big basin and put the pig intestines in it.Before cleaning, Lin Baoer turned the large intestines upside down to remove all the oil and dirt inside. Then Lin Baoer put salt on the pig large intestines, rubbed them for a while, and rinsed them with clean water.Lin Baoer put the processed pig large intestine on a plate and put it aside, and continued to clean the pig offal.Lin Baoer cleaned up the pig's offal and put it aside for later use.

Lin Baoer first started the fire, added water to the pot, and waited for the water to boil.Then wash the bones, cut them into two pieces, put them into the pot, add green onion and ginger slices, cover them, and boil them slowly on the stove.

Lin Han'er picked the cucumber back, washed it, and walked into the kitchen. "Brother, Han'er picked the cucumbers back and washed them clean."

"Okay, then Han'er put the cucumbers on the plate and put them away."

"Yeah." Lin Han'er took out a plate from the cupboard and put the cucumbers on it. "Brother, is there anything Han'er can do to help?"

"Han'er, please light the fire. After the fire is lit, Han'er will sit on the side with a small stool and watch if the bone soup made by brother is good."

"Well, Han'er knows." After speaking, Lin Han'er started to light the fire.

Fortunately, there are two stoves in the kitchen of Lin Baoer's house. Lin Baoer frys oil and cooks soup.

Lin Baoer took out the fried fat he bought and put it on the chopping board and cut it into small pieces.Then, Lin Baoer put a layer of salt on the pot, and then poured the fat into the pot, waiting for the lard to be fried.

Zhang Xiuer's house.

After Zhang Xiuer returned home, Lin Dazhuang and Lin Dahu came back from hunting in the mountains not long after.

Zhang Xiu'er was preparing to explode the oil, when she heard that Lin Dazhuang and his son had returned, she came out of the kitchen, entered the hall, and poured two glasses of water.

Zhang Xiu'er handed the water glasses in her hands to Lin Dazhuang and Lin Dahu respectively. "Big Zhuang, later you will help Brother Bao's house to transport the millet to threshing with a cart. Brother Bao and Brother Han will invite us to have dinner tonight."

Lin Dahu, who had already been captured by Lin Baoer's delicacies, was very happy that he would have something delicious tonight, so he drank the water in the glass in his hand in one go, "Daddy, don't worry, I will go with my father. "

"You brat, daddy doesn't know you yet, he wants to eat delicious food made by Brother Bao."

"Hey, dad still understands me."

Lin Dazhuang put the bow and arrow behind his back on the table, sat drinking water, and watched Zhang Xiuer and Lin Dahu father and son talking with a smile on their faces.

"Da Zhuang, what kind of prey did you hunt when you went up the mountain today?"

Lin Dazhuang pointed to two pheasants and two rabbits, one big and one small, at his feet, "No, Xiu'er, I shot these today, I didn't kill them, I want to capture them alive and bring them back to raise."

"That's just right, you can bring a pheasant and a rabbit to Brother Bao and Haohan."

"Okay, I got it." Lin Dazhuang held a pheasant and a rabbit in his hands, and said to Zhang Xiuer: "Then Xiuer, I went with Duhu."

"Well, let's go. Dahu will go too."

"Okay, father, let's go quickly. By the way, father, give me the little rabbit, and I will give the rabbit to brother Han later."

"Okay, hold you well, don't let the rabbit run away." Lin Dazhuang then handed the rabbit to Lin Dahu.

Lin Dahu carefully held the rabbit in his arms, and said with a smile, "I won't let the rabbit go."

Zhang Xiu'er smiled and said, "Okay, you father and son go quickly."

"Well, then Xiu'er, I'm leaving."

"Daddy, my father and I are leaving."

"En." Zhang Xiu'er stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched Lin Dazhuang and Lin Dahu father and son walk away, then turned and walked into the courtyard.He had to put pheasants and rabbits in cages, and he had to explode the oil.
