Siheyuan: no worries about food and clothing at the beginning

Chapter 9 Decoration
Li Lin cut a pound of cooked five-slice meat into pieces.

The three-layered meat is the best material for braised pork.

Then put it in the pot and fry it, and finally put it in the bottom of the pot boiled with rock sugar soy sauce and sugar.

Finally, add dried cinnamon star anise and chili, and wait for the time after the seasoning.

Li He looked at Li Lin who was busy in the kitchen and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Love really can make a person blind, a person who never cooks in the kitchen can actually cook in the kitchen"

Mother Li couldn't help but rolled her eyes when she heard this.
"You have the nerve to tell Li Lin, what you did back then was even weirder than him."

Li He was slightly embarrassed when he heard this.

On the other hand, Li Shan secretly smiled.

After finishing all the procedures of braised pork, Li Lin started to make sweet and sour pork ribs again.

The same is to blanch the water first, and then cut the sweet and sour pork ribs into 2~3 cm sizes.

Then put the ribs in the pot and stir-fry for a while, add boiling water to cover the ribs, add sugar, vinegar, and dark soy sauce for color.

Li Lin put the braised pork and sweet and sour pork ribs in an aluminum box.

After talking to the people in the family, Li Lin rode a bicycle to Shangba Village to meet Xiao Ruoyan.

Li Lin checked his recent supplies on the way.

Fifty catties of stick noodles, 41 catties of pork, 24 catties of pork ribs, 45 catties of chocolate, [-] catties of four taels of food stamps, eight taels of West Lake Longjing, six apples left, two old hens, one fish, and [-] catties of flour.

"Ruoyan, are you really going to marry someone in the city?"

Ruoyan, who was serving food, looked back when he heard this. Isn't this Liu Yingmin from the same village?

I don't know her very well, so why would she suddenly talk to me?
But out of politeness she answered anyway.
"Yes, the wedding date has been fixed."

After answering, seeing that Liu Yingmin didn't ask any more questions, she went to deliver food.

Liu Yingmin said to her back
"Brother, come out, she is really going to get married, don't think about it anymore"

A young man came out from behind. The young man said a little unwillingly.
"Why did the captain marry Xiao Ruoyan to Li Lin?"

Liu Yingmin heard this and said

"Brother, it's not that you don't know whose family Li Lin is from, he is from Uncle Li Meng's family.

Uncle Li Meng's family has four employees, and if Li Lin is added, it will be five employees.

Such a good condition is being scrambled for in the city, and it’s no wonder that Uncle Xiao married Ruoyan to Li Lin.”

Hearing this, the young man was still a little unwilling to say
"I don't believe that guy will be kind to Ruoyan, only I have true love for Ruoyan"

Liu Yingmin, I couldn’t help but say in my heart
"To put it bluntly, I'm not coveting Ruo Yan's body."

You know how many young people in the village want to marry Ruoyan.

But no one dared to express their love.

It is because Xiao Ruoyan's reputation in the village is not very good.

Naturally, it was because the parents in the family were not very satisfied with Xiao Ruoyan's appearance and her body that could not do heavy work.

After all, what the older generation pays attention to is a virtuous, virtuous, down-to-earth, and hard-working daughter-in-law.

In their opinion, Xiao Ruoyan was born to enjoy the blessings. Whoever marries Xiao Ruoyan will worship her as an ancestor.

In this day and age, no one dares to raise a person who doesn't have to do any work.

In fact, Liu Yingmin was quite envious of Xiao Ruoyan.

At least with the Li Lin family's conditions, Xiao Ruoyan didn't need to worry about food.

His own brother could only be helpless and furious.

Those like my brother's are the epitome of the young people in the village.

Xiao Ruoyan gave the food to her father, eldest brother and second brother, and waited for them to finish eating and clean up.

Li Lin happened to see this scene while riding his bicycle.

"Ruoyan, so you are here."

Li Lin parked his bicycle and came to Xiao Ruoyan's side.

Xiao Ruoyan said in surprise
"Didn't we just get married yesterday? Why are you here today?"

Li Lin heard this and said

"Why can't I come today?"

When Xiao Ruoyan heard this, he quickly said:
"No, I didn't mean that, I was just surprised by you"

Father Xiao interrupted the two of them and said

"Li Lin, what are you doing here? I don't remember that we are within the scope of your purchases"

Li Lin said, "Don't I miss Ruoyan?

I came to see Ruoyan and give her something by the way.

So can I be alone with Ruoyan? "

Father Xiao said, "You don't need to clean up Ruoyan here, just take it back when we go back slowly.

Let's take a stroll in the village with the boy from the Li family."

Xiao Ruoyan nodded, and the two of them arrived at the place where they first met.

Li Lin leaned against the big tree and said "sit"

Xiao Ruoyan also sat next to the big tree, but Xiao Ruoyan and Li Lin were close together.

As for the reason why the two of them got so close, of course it was Li Lin who was so shameless.

Xiao Ruoyan was a little shy at first, but when she thought that the two of them were already engaged, she didn't resist anymore.

Li Lin took out two aluminum lunch boxes from his satchel and said
"Guess what's in there?"

Xiao Ruoyan said with a smile

"What else can there be? It's just food."

Li Lin said with a smile

"You are so smart that you eat, but guess what you eat"

Xiao Ruoyan shook his head when he heard this, expressing that he didn't know.

Li Lin didn't continue to play tricks and opened the aluminum box.

Xiao Ruoyan looked at the braised pork and sweet and sour spareribs in front of her eyes and said in amazement

“Braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs”

Li Lin took out a pair of chopsticks from his bag and said
"Eat it quickly, it's delicious."

Xiao Ruoyan took the chopsticks and picked up a piece of braised pork and ate it.

"It's delicious, you made it yourself, right, it tastes exactly the same as yesterday's"

Li Lin nodded. At this time, he felt a great sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Maybe loving someone means liking him to praise you.

Xiao Ruoyan ate a few pieces and then gave one piece to Li Lin.

Li Lin suddenly felt that happiness surrounded him again.

Just like this, you ate one bite at a time, and the braised pork and sweet and sour pork ribs were wiped out in less than a while.

Xiao Ruoyan touched his belly and said
“I never thought that one day I could eat all I could eat”

Li Lin took out another apple from his bag and said
"If Yan gives it to you, Xiaoxiaoshi"

When Xiao Ruoyan saw the apple, her beautiful eyes became lively and beautiful.

“I like to eat fruit the most”

Xiao Ruoyan took the apple and ate it in big mouthfuls.

Li Lin felt so happy when he saw this scene. Is this the idea of ​​licking the dog?

Li Lin held Xiao Ruoyan in his arms and watched the sun gradually set.
"It would be great if time was frozen at this moment forever.

Because at this moment we don’t need to do anything or think about anything.

This is how to enjoy the beautiful scenery and enjoy the people you love by your side.”

Xiao Ruoyan was a little shy at first being hugged by Li Lin, but she got used to it later on.

"Actually, I don't think we need to specifically desire anything, after all, we are always living.

Such a beautiful scenery, such a beautiful picture, is just a place worthy of nostalgia in our life.

Our lives are always moving forward.

So we don’t need to miss you too much, we just need to live our lives well.”

The good times are always short, and it's time to say goodbye.

Li Lin took out five chocolates from his satchel, put them in Xiao Ruoyan's palm and said,

"One a day, I'll give it to you on my weekend"

Xiao Ruoyan nodded shyly.

At the last moment, Li Lin quickly kissed Xiao Ruoyan on the cheek and rode away quickly on his bicycle.

Xiao Ruoyan touched her cheek, and stared at the back of Li Lin who was riding a bicycle.

This is a feeling she has never felt before, maybe this is love.

"Are you still watching? Everyone has left."

Xiao Zhengdong's voice came.

Xiao Ruoyan looked at her brother shyly and said, "Brother, why don't you make any sound when you walk?"

Xiao Zhengdong
"Father told me to come to you, but when I came, I saw you performing this show, so I could only hide and watch from the sidelines."

Xiao Ruoyan stomped her feet when she heard this and left.

Xiao Zhengdong patted his head, he didn't do anything, why did his sister get angry?

Li Lin rode his bicycle and met the third uncle as soon as he arrived at the gate of the hospital.

You can see that the third uncle is holding a fish weighing about one kilogram in his hand.

Li Lin said
"Why doesn't Third Master use fish to exchange for other things?"

Third uncle said
"Isn't this improving the food at home a little?"

Li Lin said
"See you later, Third Master"

Second day

Li Lin thought that his house was just a utility room, not suitable for a wedding room, so he came to find Deputy Factory Manager Li.

Li Lin put a tael of West Lake Longjing on Li's deputy factory manager's table.

Deputy Director Li looked at it and said

"Tell me what you want from me"

Li Lin said

"I'm not working, and then I want to share a house.

There is also a main room in the backyard of our yard, I wonder if it can be given to me."

Deputy Director Li said

"No problem, it's nothing more than advancing your eligibility for room allocation.

Just take this note and go to your sub-district office director.”

In this way, Li Lin obtained the right to use the backyard house.

Li Lin opened the lock, and a puff of dust hit his face.

Li Lin coughed a few times and then looked at the environment in the room.

Basically, there are tables and beds, but they are all dilapidated. After all, there has been no one living here for a long time.

It looked like it needed some renovations, after all, even the windows were rotten.

Just when he was looking at the environment here.

The third uncle came in and said

"Why do you have the key to this place? Has this place been assigned to you?"

Li Lin said

"Yeah, give it to me.

Am I getting married in a month?

It's perfect for a wedding room, but it needs to be renovated.

By the way, third master, do you know anyone who decorates?"

The third uncle shook his hand and said

"do not know"

After finishing speaking, the third master walked out.

Li Lin was a little confused, what happened to the third master?Why does it feel a little out of whack?

The third master returned home and sat on the bench with an uncomfortable expression.

The third mother saw the appearance of the third master and asked suspiciously

"What's wrong with you? Why are you frowning?"

The third uncle gets upset when he mentions this matter
"It's not the last house in our backyard that was assigned to Li Lin"

When the third aunt heard this, she was immediately surprised and said
"We still want to use that house for our children to get married in the future."

The current Li Lin doesn't know what the third master thinks, he is now thinking about how to renovate this room.

“Dad, do you know any craftsmen?
Let them come and help me remodel that house."

Li Lin spoke to his father.

Li Lin's father said

"We only met in the village. How do you want to change it?"

Li Lin said

“Put some new floor tiles on the floor and paint the walls.

Then just buy some tables, wardrobes, and beds.”

Father Li heard this and said

"I've also saved a little money for you over the years.

You take the money and the ticket to buy it yourself, and buy what suits your heart.”

When Li's mother heard this, she took out a sum of money and tickets from the room and handed them to Li Lindao
"This money and tickets are saved for your wedding. You must use them well. Do you understand?"

Li Lin nodded to show that he understood.

On the other hand, Li Shan and Li He didn't have any objections when they saw this scene.

After all, this is how they got married.

And they also knew how much that sum of money was, a full two hundred yuan.

Two hundred yuan is actually not much for their family.

Because Li's father's salary is 78 yuan, Li's mother's salary is 38 yuan, the eldest brother Li Shan's salary is 52 yuan, and the second brother Li He's salary is 28 yuan.

This means that his family's monthly income is 190 yuan.

Since Li Lin didn't have a job before, he didn't count it for the time being.

As for how much money you can save in a year, it’s up to you book friends.

Li Lin took the money and put it in his pocket.

Father Li said

"You and your two brothers are in a different situation.

You can get food and some items through your own way, so the two of us will not help you."

Li Lin nodded without any rebuttal.

After all, there are enough things in my own system to hold a banquet.

The next day

Li Lin got up early in the morning and asked for leave from the factory.

Because he was going to the village to hire someone to paint the walls and lay new floors.

Li Ning went to find his uncle, who took him to find the person who painted and laid the floor.

It is worth mentioning that his grandfather and grandmother treat his face differently and his nose differently than his nose.

He didn't know why.

It wasn't until his cousin told him that he realized that it was because he married Xiao Ruoyan.

Li Lin has been busy purchasing materials and arranging food for the painters and floor installers these days.

After a lot of hard work, it’s Saturday.

Li Lin looked at the whitewashed walls, the floor tiles had been installed, and the windows had been repaired. The only thing left was the desk, cabinet and bed.

But it's Saturday now, and I promised to see Xiao Ruoyan.

But you should sign in before you go to see me, because now is the time to sign in.

"It is detected that the host is about to get married, and this time the sign-in is specially upgraded, but only this time"

"One high-end table, one set of high-end benches, one high-end wardrobe, one high-end quilt cover, two high-end custom-made mechanical watches for men and women, twenty feet of cloth, thirty apples, thirty oranges, ten catties of fruit candy, Thirty sea cucumbers, sea cucumbers with scallions, [-] catties of tofu, mapo tofu, and sixi meatballs
Note: These things have a clear source, so there is no need to worry about using them”

Li Lin was very happy because everything about the married guy was settled.

But what the hell is behind, is this going to develop in the direction of a chef?

If you want to give it, give it to a chef who is proficient in a cuisine, why do you give it in pieces.

Li Lin locked the door and planned to go to Xiao Ruoyan's home.

"Brother Lin, you haven't played with us for a long time, why are you so developed that you forgot about us?"

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu came over and said.

Ever since Li Lin found a job, they and Erhu suddenly felt that they had lost their direction recently. After all, Li Lin used to make decisions, and they only had to be responsible for listening.

Hearing this, Li Lin looked back at Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu and said
"Isn't this brother getting married recently?

So I may not be able to take care of you recently.

When I have the chance, I will definitely treat you to a meal, after all, I haven’t celebrated with you that I found a job.”

After getting Li Lin's promise, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu said
"Then we will wait for your treat"

Seeing this, Li Lin also left on his bicycle.

But as soon as he left the door, he met Hu Junqiang, who stopped him.

"My dear, I finally found you.

I came to you this time because of a very urgent matter, I wonder if you have a way to get sea cucumbers."

Li Lin was puzzled when he heard this.

"The sea cucumber thing is not easy to handle.

what happened?Why do you want to get sea cucumbers all of a sudden?"

Hu Junqiang said

“It’s not Tuesday yet, is a leader from Lu Di coming to our factory to inspect the situation?
Then he ordered to eat sea cucumbers with green onions, isn't this embarrassing? "

Li Lin always spoke when he came here.

"This is treating our factory as a restaurant. Does anyone in our factory know how to cook sea cucumbers roasted with green onions?"

Hu Junqiang said

"It's because someone in our factory knows how to cook sea cucumbers with scallions, so the leader specified the dish of sea cucumbers with scallions.

But now we can’t get sea cucumbers, that’s the problem.

The leaders can't solve it, and now they're left to us little buyers, what do you want us to do?
I really have no choice, so I came to you.

But this matter should come to you soon, because you are also one of the buyers who specializes in opening small stoves for leaders."

Li Lin understood what Hu Junqiang meant when he heard this, no matter whether Li Lin agreed to this matter or not, it would be Li Lin's responsibility after all.

If you find everyone together, you won't be punished, but if you can't find everyone together, you will be unlucky.

Li Lin said

"I'm going to my friends to see if they can get sea cucumbers"

Hu Junqiang nodded and said
"I will give you the answer on Monday at the latest. After all, the leader will be here on Tuesday."

Li Lin nodded to show that he understood. Seeing Li Lin nod, Hu Junqiang left without staying too much. He also wanted to inform other buyers.

Li Lin looked at the things in the system space. Does the system have the ability to predict the future?

Are you going to show your face at the leadership banquet?

Then you can get the appreciation of the leader, and get on the way of the leader, so that there is a background behind it.

Isn't this the routine of classic novels?

He was sure the cook would be hurt that day.

But all of this is for Tuesday, he will be with his Ruoyan on this day.

"It's strange today. Why is the girl from the Xiao family standing at the gate of the village?"

"Think about it with your head, you should know that he is waiting for her lover"

Several girls looked at Xiao Ruoyan standing at the village gate and said
"Xiao Ruoyan's life is really good. At home, there are elder brothers, second elder brothers and father doting on her, so she doesn't have to do any work.

And now she is going to marry someone from the city. I heard that she is still the grandson of my grandfather's family.

Moreover, he is the youngest son of Uncle Li Meng's family. Uncle Li Meng's family has five employees, so Xiao Ruoyan is simply blessed to marry him.

And I heard that the youngest son of Uncle Li Meng’s family works as a buyer.

The purchaser can get a lot of scarce supplies, and Xiao Ruoyan will probably have no shortage of food or clothing in the future."

A girl who was the same age as Xiao Ruoyan looked at Xiao Ruoyan who was standing at the gate of the village with envy in her eyes.

Some people are envious of it, but others can't stand it.

“I don’t believe any buyer would be kind to Xiao Ruoyan.

Isn't it just coveting Xiao Ruoyan's beauty?Once the freshness wears off, Xiao Ruoyan will probably be beaten or scolded.

It’s not like I don’t know people from villages who marry in the city.”

A girl who was not very good-looking but rather a bit mean spoke up.

"Come on, you just envy and hate others.

I heard that your parents are going to marry you to a cripple from the next village."

The person who said this was obviously choking the girl on purpose.

The slightly mean girl suddenly became even more jealous of Xiao Ruoyan when she heard this.

Because Xiao Ruoyan is so beautiful, all the young men in the village like Xiao Ruoyan.

Why was Xiao Ruoyan born into a family that was kind to her and not only allowed her to study, but also refused to let her do heavy work?

She only needs to read at home every day, and she can eat without doing anything.

At the age of marriage, I was able to meet such a good partner, unlike myself who could only be sold to a cripple by my parents.

She was unwilling to give in. How she wished she could exchange places with Xiao Ruoyan.

"Come, come, his partner is here on a bicycle."

"Let me see, he looks really handsome."

Li Lin saw Xiao Ruoyan standing at the gate of the village from a long distance on his bicycle.

There was no doubt that this was waiting for him, so he accelerated his riding speed.

Li Lin came to Xiao Ruoyan's side and said

"Have you been thinking about me?"

Xiao Ruoyan nodded shyly when he heard this.

Li Lin and Xiao Ruoyan walked around the village for a while.

After that, they went back to sit by the big tree where they had a blind date and enjoy the scenery.

Li Lin enjoyed this feeling very much, but time always passed quickly.

"How I hope you can marry me as soon as possible, and then I can see you every day"

Xiao Ruoyan said

"You look at me every day, don't you get tired of it?"

Li Lin said with a smile

"How can you get tired of looking at someone you love?"

Xiao Ruoyan's face turned red again when she heard these words that were like a confession.

Li Lin looked at Xiao Ruoyan's blush and smiled, then hugged her into his arms.

Li Lin let go of Xiao Ruoyan, took out five apples from his bag and said

"I saw you eating apples very happily that day, so I prepared five more apples."

After finishing speaking, Li Lin handed the apple to Xiao Ruoyan.

When it was time to part, Li Lin kissed Xiao Ruoyan again and left the village.

Xiao Ruoyan returned home holding five apples.

Mother Xiao looked at Xiao Ruoyan who was holding five apples and said,

"Did Li Lin give it?"

Xiao Ruoyan nodded and handed Xiao Mu an apple.
"Mother, you eat"

Mother Xiao smiled and said,
"Mother, don't eat it, this is given to you by your little lover"

Xiao Ruoyan's face turned red again when she heard this.

Xiao Ruoyan's sister-in-law and second sister-in-law looked at Xiao Ruoyan with envy.

They were very dissatisfied with Xiao Ruoyan's sharing of rations while doing nothing at home all day long.

And the people in the family love Xiao Ruoyan very much.

Not only did he allow her to finish junior high school, but he also bought books according to her preferences, which cost the family a lot of money.

But they don't have any right to speak at home, so they can only keep their dissatisfaction in their hearts.

But now Xiao Ruoyan's status in the family is higher, because the person who married her is a fifth-level worker.

It is inevitable that they will never ask for Xiao Ruoyan in the future, so they have been very kind to Xiao Ruoyan recently.

On the second day, Li Lin made braised pork again, and went to find Xiao Ruoyan with sweet and sour pork ribs.

But he also left a copy for his family.

I enjoyed the quiet time again, and just spent another day like this.

As soon as Li Linggang sat down in the purchasing department, Hu Junqiang came over impatiently.

"Li Lin, does your friend have a way to get sea cucumbers?"

Li Lin looked at Hu Junqiang who looked a little haggard because of this incident and said
“You can get them, but not much.”

Hearing this, Hu Junqiang breathed a sigh of relief.

“Just enough to stir-fry a plate of vegetables.”

Li Lin said
“It’s enough to stir-fry a plate of vegetables.”

Hu Junqiang said
"Then when did that friend of yours get it?"

Li Lin thought for a while and said
"Tomorrow morning"

In fact, he was careful, because according to the law of the novel, tomorrow's master will definitely be injured.

At that time it will be his time to play. When is the best time to play?
It just happened that the leader came, and then he couldn't find a chef to replace him, so he recommended himself.

It's just perfect.

Hu Junqiang didn't know Li Lin's careful thought and said

"It should be in time, because the leader will come tomorrow morning, as long as you are ahead of the leader."
