Chapter 15: Chapter 15
"Okay, you wait." Lin Lan went out to have a look, then picked up her backpack and walked quickly towards the health center.

When we arrived at the brigade headquarters, we saw a row of more than a dozen brick houses with positive slogans written on the walls in red paint.

Lin Lan saw a sign of a cross on the door of the fifth room from the right, walked over and saw Liu Fang, Liu Guozhi's second daughter, sitting on a chair reading a book.

"Doctor Liu, I have a headache, fever, and body aches. Please help me get some medicine."

Liu Fang sat without moving, and glanced at her: "Have you finished the medicine you took yesterday?"

Lin Lan said nonsense: "I put it in my pocket, and it fell into the well when I was carrying water."

Liu Fangxie stood up slowly, started to take the medicine, turned around after a while, and threw the medicine on the table: "Two days of medicine, one pack at a time, a total of fifteen cents."

"Thank you!" Lin Lan counted [-] cents to her and left quickly with the change of [-] cents.

Liu Fang looked at her back and curled her lips: "Crazy."

Lin Lan hurried back to the hut, took a bowl and poured some water, woke up Lao Chen, and gave him medicine.

"Thank you!" Lao Chen glanced at Lin Lan and fell asleep again.

Lin Lan didn't dare to stay longer, she pulled the hard quilt from the corner of the bed to cover him, quickly got out of the hut, and walked towards the slope.She remembered that the easiest work in the Lexing brigade was mowing grass for cattle, feeding pigs, and beekeeping.

Liu Guozhi was bleeding heavily today, so he must be itching with anger right now.Lin Lan felt happy when she thought of Liu Guozhi biting his back teeth.

When I arrived at the slope, I saw green oat grass of different lengths growing from the bottom of the slope, as well as a lot of wormwood.

Wormwood is a good thing. If you take it back and store it for two or three years, Chen Ai can sell it for a fortune.Lin Lan quickly started working with a sickle.

After cutting a piece, he stood up and hammered his sore lower back, cleaned out the wormwood in the cow grass, and put it aside.

Put the cow grass into the bamboo basket to compact the grass, squat down, pick up the bamboo basket and stand up on the ground with your hands.When passing by the cowshed, she didn't hear old Chen's groans again, just about to go in and have a look, when she saw someone approaching in front, she hurried away.

Lin Lan carried the cow grass to the drying yard, spread it out to dry, and the horn rang out to call it a day.

She returned home with a basket full of wormwood on her back, tied it with straw and hung it on the bamboo pole in the woodshed.

I went to the stove to clean the pots and bowls, took two sweet potatoes and peeled them to cook sweet potato porridge. When the water in the rice pot boiled, I opened the lid a little before going out to pick up the beans.

As soon as he walked to the old lady's back door, he saw Xiaodouzi sitting on a small stool, looking at her sideways.

Lin Lan looked at him with a smile: "Little Douzi, mom is here."

"Grandmother, my mother is back." Xiaodouzi stepped across the threshold while holding the door frame, "Mom, did you quarrel with someone?"

Lin Lan shook her head with a smile: "It's not a fight, it's reasoning.

The old lady stood at the back door and looked at her with a slightly raised mouth: "Xu Chunyan was originally doing the work of mowing the cows, but Liu Guozhi suffered a dark loss today. Work hard, don't let people find reasons to get you down. "

"Yeah!" Lin Lan nodded heavily, and said with a smile: "I cooked sweet potato porridge, you can eat at my place."

The old lady curled her lips, "Who cares about your sweet potato porridge, it's almost as good as calling me if it's good."

Lin Lan said with a smile: "When I make money, I will treat you to good food. I will honor you."

"When you make money, my bones will be fed thatch." The old lady gave her a white look with a smile, "I'll cut some sweet potato vines in the afternoon, and you can dig out the ground at noon, and it can be planted in the afternoon."

"Understood." Lin Lan nodded, picked up Xiaodouzi and walked back.

When the mother and son returned home, Lin Lan picked up some yams, picked out the sprouts, fried pickles and shredded yams, and the mother and son were ready for dinner.

Fragrant sweet potato porridge, served with shredded pickles and potatoes, and small beans are delicious.

"Mom, shredded potato is delicious, I want more next time."

Lin Lan wiped off the porridge from the corner of his mouth: "Okay, mom grows some yams, and the little beans can eat whatever they want."

"Okay." Xiaodouzi snuggled up to her side with a smile.

Lin Lan kissed him, "Baby goes to the courtyard to play for a while, and mother washes the dishes."

"I'm going to sweep the floor." Xiaodouzi dragged the broom away.

Lin Lan scooped the remaining porridge into a bowl, and suddenly thought of Old Chen in the cowshed.

Think about taking an enamel jar out of the cupboard, putting porridge in it, and putting two pickled peppers and a little pickle in it.Put the enamel jar in the stove to warm it.

Clean the pots and bowls a few times, find all the germinated yams in the basket, cut off the buds, put them in a dustpan, mix them with plant ash, and bring them to the edge of the vegetable field.

Xiaodouzi came over on a broom: "Mom, do you want to grow potatoes?"

"Yeah! My little bean likes to eat, and my mother has more varieties."

Xiaodouzi nodded with a smile: "Mom eats too."

"Okay, you go to the side to play, so that the hoe doesn't touch you."

Lin Lan picked up the hoe and went backwards to dig the soil on both sides, and began to divide the ridges.A ridge is about two feet wide.Thinking of planting sweet potatoes, I set up the remaining ridges.

Dig a hole on the field ridge, put a handful of retting soil fertilizer in the hole, put the potato sprouts upward, and gently press them into the soil.

A ridge is planted staggered on both sides, one at a time, and then covered with a shallow layer of soil.A pinch of yam seeds in the dustpan was full, and three ridges were planted.

Lin Lan thought that after the yams in the basket germinated, she could plant two more ridges.

"Third aunt!" Xiaodouzi shouted happily and ran towards the door.

Yang Liying knelt down and hugged him with open arms: "Is Douzi good? Do you miss Third Aunt?"

"Hey, I helped mom sweep the floor." Xiaodouzi hugged her neck, "Third aunt, do you smell my hair smells good?"

Yang Liying sniffed it: "Sweet!"

Xiaodouzi smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Mom gave me a bath last night and washed my hair."

"No wonder my little Douzi is so good today." Yang Liying took out a piece of candy from her pocket with a smile, and took out a big candy piece held in white paper, "Third Aunt bought you your favorite mint candy."

Xiaodouzi took the mints and asked Yang Liying to put him down, took the mints and gave them to Lin Lan: "Mom, I'll give you mints!"

Lin Lan pretended to take a bite: "Mmm! So sweet! Thank you, Third Aunt?"

"Thank you, aunt!" Xiaodouzi rewrapped the candy and put it in his pocket as he said, "Mom likes mints the most."

Lin Lan's heart was sour and sweet, and she kissed him on the face: "Thank you baby."

Yang Liying looked at the clothes and quilts hanging on the bamboo poles, the clean courtyard dam, and the vegetable seedlings planted in the vegetable field.

She turned her head to look at Lin Lan and felt that she had changed, became better, became more energetic, and became more diligent.

Lin Lan picked up the hoe and pouch, put it aside, and looked at Yang Liying with a smile: "Third sister, come and sit for a while."

Yang Liying smiled uncomfortably: "I still have yams, I'll bring you some tomorrow."

"Third Auntie, Mommy's fried potato shreds are delicious, and Xiaodouzi likes to eat them."

Yang Liying smiled and pinched his nose: "Greedy cat."

Lin Lan entered the room and brought out two chairs. After they sat down, Xiaodouzi snuggled up to Lin Lan.

Yang Liying looked at Lin Lan in disbelief: "The debts owed to Liu Jinbao are really gone?"
