Lin Youcai is going to take Lin Peilan back to her mother-in-law's house. It's not uncommon in the cold winter. This vegetable is the rarest thing.
"There are pig's feet, peanuts and sweet potato flour. I'll take those with me. It's also convenient to buy vegetables in the county. There aren't many of them at home, so keep them. "
One pig's hoof was given to Aunt Lin and the other to Lin Peilan. Lin Peilan wanted to leave it to his family, but his father said it was for Chen's father and mother, so he couldn't refuse it.
Aunt Lin's pig leg originally wanted to let Lin Peilan go with Lin Youcai to apologize, but Lin Peilan resolutely refused to go. Lin Youcai had to send it by himself.
Originally did not forgive Lin Peilan, did not know, but the pig leg was accepted.
Anyway, now Lin Peilan is also open-minded. If the rest of the Lin family want to move around with her, she will move around. If she doesn't want to, she will never rush to please her.
The family's affection is so weak, which is something that Lin Peilan never thought about.
"It's not good to buy everything. It's not that you don't have it at home. Take it! Dad has nothing good for you
Thinking that his daughter has been busy at home for such a long time and wants to go back to her mother-in-law's house, I don't know how many times I have listened to her. Following her, Lin Youcai is reluctant to give up.
He simply made a bowl of pickled noodles and left a bowl for Lin Yuxiang. After eating, father and daughter were ready to go to town.
Lin Peilan's own luggage is a small bag, plus a lot of things Lin Youcai prepared, Lin Peilan originally wanted to take a few bottles of red wine sent by Xu Guangming home, but it was a bit reluctant.
But Lin Peilan still took two bottles of red wine back, thinking that Chen's mother and father would occasionally drink a little wine.
Before going out, Lin Yuxiang also got up. Looking at her reluctant appearance, Lin Peilan felt a little funny.
"Come on, I'll be back in a few days."
"Well! I know. I just feel bored. I don't want you to go. "
Reluctant to leave, Lin Peilan patted her on the shoulder and followed Lin Youcai to leave.
I didn't go back to the village to say goodbye. Anyway, I will come back to eat Lin Yuzhu's wedding banquet in a few days, but I will leave as a relative at that time.
Lin Youcai arrived early, too. It's a passing bus. It's still more than nine o'clock before I come. I can't bear my daughter waiting in the cold wind for a few hours to see him do his first business. I can only let Lin Peilan leave first.
Lin Peilan believed her father's ability very much. After she got on the bus, she told him not to drink and continue to eat Chinese medicine. Naturally, Lin Youcai agreed one by one. Recently, he drank Chinese medicine to recuperate. He has not been drinking for a long time.
Knowing that she will come back in a few days, Lin Peilan has nothing else to be sad about. There are a lot of people in the car, talking noisily. Lin Peilan only quietly leans against the wall of the car and closes her eyes. She finds that this time when she goes back to the county, she seems to have a different mentality from the past, without so much melancholy.
It's only early ten o'clock in the county. Looking at the landscape trees with yellow leaves on both sides of the street, it's not the same bleak as the bustling crowd, but the scene is different. The loneliness and depression in winter are the same everywhere.
There are quite a lot of things. Lin Peilan picked them up by herself. But since she was pointed out, she would try her best to reduce the burden of picking things up in the compound. Today, there are too many things to carry, so she can only carry them.
When I got to the courtyard, I was sweating. When I met my neighbors on the road, I would smile and say hello. As for what other people thought, there was no need to take care of it.
"Mom, I'm back."
The door of the Chen family was open. Lin Peilan carried things in and changed her shoes at the door. But she didn't see Chen's mother or Aunt Liu, so she called out.
Soon footsteps came from upstairs. Mrs. Chen was wearing an apron and a mop in her hand.
Lin Peilan was surprised. This was the first time she saw Chen's mother dressed like this.
Aunt Liu was asked to help at home. How could it be that mother Chen was cleaning?
"Mom, why are you working? What about Aunt Liu? " Lin Peilan looked around, but still didn't see Aunt Liu.
"I can still move my hands and feet. There's no need to ask someone to take care of me at home." Chen's mother took a look at Lin Peilan and said coldly, "since you're back, I'll let you do it."
"Yes! You put it there, and I'll come later. "
It's the same whether it's OK or not. The mop is leaning against the stairway. As she walks, she unties her apron and Chen's mother comes downstairs.
Lin Peilan took out the things she had brought back and put them on a large table.
"There are only a few people in our family. Why do you buy such a big pig leg?" Chen's mother frowned at the pig's leg.
"This is my father. He killed the pig in his family. I must bring back the leg of the pig and give you and dad a taste of his own pig."
"Oh! Thank him for me. "
Chen's mother said to her that she didn't ask Lin Peilan to bring anything back to her mother's home except for a few kilos of hairtail she bought at that time. Instead, Lin Peilan always brought big and small bags when she came back.
"Nothing." Lin Peilan put the vegetables into the kitchen, the pig legs hanging on the hook of the kitchen, "Mom, I'll give you the stew and drink the part of the hooves in a moment, and then put the meat in the refrigerator to eat slowly."
"Whatever you want!"
Chen's mother poured a glass of water, sat down in the living room and turned on the TV. It was obvious that the big one didn't want to talk to Lin Peilan any more.
It's been two days. Although it's cold, Lin Peilan is also afraid that it will be bad after a long time.
Lin Peilan cut off the pig's hoof and chopped it into small pieces in the yard with a chopping board. Lin Youcai cleaned up the pig's hoof very well and didn't see any hair.
After the blanching water was washed and the dried mushroom soup was added, Chen's mother seemed to be attracted by the TV series, and she didn't want to take care of Lin Peilan. Lin Peilan went upstairs to continue the work that Chen's mother had just done.
When Lin Peilan turned and went upstairs, Chen's mother turned and looked at her. She was usually alone in the family. Now Lin Peilan is busy when she comes back.
The smell of pork and the news of her work brought a lot of vitality to the family.
Although she doesn't admit how happy she is when Lin Peilan comes back, Chen's mother's eyes always unconsciously go to see the place where the movement is.
The lunch was eaten by her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Before, Lin Peilan stewed pig's hoof soup and then fried a red head dish. One dish and one soup was enough for two people.
After dinner, Lin Peilan tidies up the table. Chen's mother is carrying the teapot and is ready to go back to the house. She stops her.
"Mom, you'll come back to the house later. I have a present for you."
Chen's mother's steps stopped, and Lin Peilan immediately ran to turn over the wool bag she had brought back.
Chen's mother looked at what she had handed her hands to her eyes, and then at Lin Peilan's face.
I saw her small face, which was not big enough to be slapped, smiling in a cramped way, revealing two shallow pear vortices, and her eyes were hazy by the white fog.
"I... I don't know what color you like. I bought a woolen sweater of this color for Jianguo. It looked very good, so I knitted a neck for you."
