152: Building a House for the Elderly? (417 Votes Plus More)

152:

Everyone should have roots.

In later generations, many people made a fortune in business, and they did not say that they would throw away a few mu of land and broken houses in the countryside.

Homecoming is not only about showing off, but also the feeling of the homeland of the Chinese nation.

With roots, it is not unreasonable for people to wander outside. No matter how bad they are, there is still a way to go back to their hometown. Xia Xiaolan went home and told Liu Fen the news. She was really happy. If it wasn't too late, she would have gone to see the assigned fields in the dark.

Liu Fen was so excited that she couldn't sleep for most of the night, and asked Xia Xiaolan if she could build a house on the homestead that the mother and daughter had allocated.

"Mom will retire with your uncle in the future."

Xia Xiaolan was speechless, "Mom, you are not yet 40 years old, what are you talking about in retirement!"

Xia Xiaolan was almost the age of Liu Fen before she was reborn. It's a pity that she didn't even have a chance to solve her personal marital affairs. Although she made some money, she didn't dare to relax. At the same age, she was still working hard, and when Liu Fen talked about retirement, Xia Xiaolan was also very convinced.

In her opinion, Liu Fen is still young. Could it be that she will not marry when she finds a suitable one?

It has nothing to do with the Xia family, it is impossible to be ridiculously guarding the Xia army!

Liu Fen is indeed very young, less than 40 years old this year. Although her skin has not been whitened, her cheeks have grown meat, and the small holes on her hands have disappeared under the care of clam oil. She doesn't need to take a hoe to the ground, her hands are already quite visible.

Liu Fen didn't dare to feel bad for the clam oil, what was a few cents and a few cents? She wanted to help tally the goods. Rough hands would damage the fabric of the clothes. I heard Xia Xiaolan say that winter clothes are resistant to tossing, and summer will have silk ones. Skirts, if you hang a piece of silk, the skirt will not sell well.

Liu Fen also smacked her tongue in private, wouldn't she be able to do any job wearing this kind of skirt? When you move, you are afraid of getting dirty and damaging the skirt.

Li Fengmei laughed at that time, a woman who can afford to wear a silk skirt, what else can she do.

Xia Xiaolan has always been half-coaxing and half-deceiving Liu Fen, because her mother can't imagine how good the future will be, and she always thinks that it is the best now. According to the situation of "Blue Phoenix", even if the business after the year is not as popular as the year before, How can two families be divided into several thousand a month? A year is tens of thousands of dollars. Building a house of her own in the countryside may be a small two-story building that has just emerged... It is estimated that Liu Fen thinks so.

Putting a better life in front of Liu Fen, Liu Fen will naturally change her mind.

Xia Xiaolan originally wanted to fool her mother, but suddenly she felt that she was just building a house in the countryside?

It doesn't cost much, just make her mother happy!

Not every dollar has to be spent on the right investments, right? The meaning of life is not to increase and increase assets like a snowball. Isn't the money made to make life better for yourself and the people around you.

"Alright, alright, let's build a small building on the homestead, but we have to wait until I finish the college entrance examination. Let's get together and see if my uncle's family will build a new house together."

The mother and daughter discussed how the house would be built for a long time, and fell asleep in the middle of the night. Liu Fen got up on time in the morning, but Xia Xiaolan got up late.

Liu Zitao pinched his nose under the window and said, "Sister Lanlan is a big slacker." Xia Xiaolan put on her clothes and opened the door, pinching his ears.

"I'm a big slacker, you're a little slacker!"

Liu Yong bought all the vegetables in the morning, and was plucking a chicken under the eaves at this time. Cut the throat of the chicken and let it bleed, twist the neck under the wings, pour the hot water off the chicken, flip the chicken quickly, and then pluck the chicken feathers while the heat is on.

The poultry slaughtered in this way may not be as clean as the asphalt sticky hair treatment, but there will be no asphalt residue in the pores of the poultry, and it is not harmful to the human body if eaten. Don't be afraid of the small hairs that are hard to pull and the roots of broken hairs, just set it on the fire for a while.

"Uncle, let me help you."

Xia Xiaolan leaned over and Liu Yong chased her away, "Go down to the stove to bake the fire, your aunt baked a steamed bun for you, padded your stomach, and you can eat it at noon."

Liu Yong was busy, the chicken feathers were plucked, and the chicken's internal organs had to be cleaned.

This chicken should be kept for worship, and it will not be minced and burned. It must be cooked completely. The chicken should not be cut open. A small hole is opened in the lower abdomen of the chicken to take out all the internal organs, and there are still three chicken buttocks. The feathers are not plucked. It is also very particular about what kind of chicken you choose, with bright and beautiful tail hair, and a big rooster with red and big cockscombs.

Xia Xiaolan walked into the kitchen, and Taotao, who had called her a slacker just now, had already brought her the baked buns.

"Uncle went to the county to buy food?"

"No, I went to the farmer's market before dawn. We brought home the dry groceries yesterday. We have to eat some fresh meat, vegetables, and eggs these days. I don't buy enough today, and I don't have any for the New Year's Eve. Buy it anywhere! Just like that, you haven't bought a chicken at the farmers market yet, but your uncle bought one in the village."

Li Fengmei's mouth didn't stop, and her hands didn't stop moving.

She is frying fish, this dish is a must, which means more than one year.

Liu Fen is rolling noodles there. What staple food can have a pot of mutton braised noodles?

It used to be unaffordable. This year, the Liu family has made money, and there is no shortage of mutton money. There are two iron pots on the stove, the big steamed buns are steamed under the steamer of the other pot, and the yam porridge is stuffed.

Before Xia Xiaolan finished her steamed buns, someone came to her door.

It turned out that it was the family who was coming to Liu's house for dinner today, and the woman in the family came to help with the meal ahead of time.

With them coming to help, Xia Xiaolan would not even send

Comes in handy.

Among them was Chen Qing's mother. Sister-in-law Chen looked at Xia Xiaolan and didn't dare to recognize her.

What Xia Xiaolan picked up and wore was a duck down jacket, jeans, and a pair of small black leather boots. In Sister Chen's eyes, she was completely dressed as a city person. Ordinary city girls don't necessarily have Xia Xiaolan's foreign air, how can she still have the down-and-out look when she first came to Qijing Village?

"Xiaolan is back? Chen Qing is reading and reviewing at home. You two are classmates. We can discuss and study together when you have time."

The second grade in the final exam, in Sister Chen's eyes, Xia Xiaolan is certainly qualified to study with Chen Qing. Help each other to make progress. Sister-in-law Chen did not give up the idea of ​​making Xia Xiaolan a daughter-in-law, and from time to time she was critical of Xia Xiaolan's character. It would be perfect if it wasn't as pretty and as capable.

Xia Xiaolan was open-hearted, and the family couldn't help, so she could go to see Chen Qing.

"Chen Auntie, don't worry, Brother Chen Qing will definitely be fine in the university entrance exam... I'll go to your house to take a look."

A few aunts and sister-in-law sent a signal between their eyebrows. Sister Chen's performance was too obvious. She wanted to put Liu Yong's niece and Chen Qing together. Before Chen Qing was admitted to university, the Chen family had said that no one could introduce the object, saying that dealing with the object distracted Chen Qing. Sister Chen's attitude has changed so quickly now, because she likes Xia Xiaolan's personal excellence and ability, and her uncle Liu Yong also has the ability.

As soon as Xia Xiaolan walked to the door, she bumped into a woman.

"Ouch! Who can walk without eyes?"
