Chapter 148 Things are getting better

Little Douzi, who had not yet received a name, raised his head and looked at Grandma eagerly. He also wanted a new name. The little guy said in a sweet voice: "Grandma, what is the name of Little Douzi?"

Jiang Yan pinched his little breasts and said dotingly: "A few days ago, grandma heard a sentence and thought it was very good. I was born in heaven, and I am safe here. I will name you after this. Little Douzi will be here in the future."

Calling Lin Chenan, it means good times, auspicious days, and good fortune."

People with some culture generally choose names that are meaningful. Even country people choose names for the sake of a cheap name to make a living. Jiang Yan does not have much culture, but it is still okay to choose a name with meaning.

"Little aunt, I guess this word is taken from the Book of Songs. It is very smooth and suitable for Xiaodouzi." Jiang Wen held a book, his eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were starry, his voice was gentle, and his cheeks had a faint glow.

Jiang Yan nodded: "I heard you recite it a few times, and I thought it was good, so I wrote it down. Xiaodouzi has grown up, so it will be more convenient to give it a big name."

"Little aunt..." Jiang Wen hesitated, his eyes fell on Jiang Yan, his lips pursed slightly, he wanted to say something about the academy, but the words that came to his mouth were not uttered.

As the sun gradually sets in the west, the sound of reading in the Lin family can be heard loudly, and the twilight slowly envelopes everyone, giving everyone a layer of faint crimson orange light.

Wang Jinhua and Liu Xiaomeng put away the books in their hands and started preparing for today's dinner.

During this time, the two families, Lao Wu and Lin Yousheng, occasionally ate here. Especially today, when both families came to help in the fields, they would naturally come over to eat.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan went to the chicken coop to take out the remaining hen that was specially bought for food and handed it to Liu Xiaomeng. After this period of time, the two daughters-in-law were quite generous with food and were not as picky as before.

They were reluctant to part with it, and they would do whatever Jiang Yan gave her.

I also started to add more oil and salt to the cooking, and soon, with the busy work of a few people, dinner was ready.

A pot of stewed chicken with radish, a large pot of braised pork, a stir-fried wild vegetable, a stir-fried sliced ​​pork with dried mushrooms, and Jiang Yan’s newly made oil dumplings. This is a southern snack. Shredded green onion and radish are wrapped in batter and deep-fried into gold.

It’s yellow, and after filtering the oil, it still smells like sizzling oil. It’s the most satisfying to eat after hard work. Children also like it very much.

Jiang Yan picked up a piece of oil and handed it to Erbi and Lin Bei: "Go and ask your Uncle Wu and Uncle Lin to come over for dinner."

The two of them were laughing loudly as they ate and ran out of the yard. They were always positive about eating and just wanted to finish calling people quickly and then come back to start eating.

The simple table in the house is still in use, but it is too small to seat so many people, so meals are eaten in the courtyard. The newly purchased large table is placed in the courtyard so that everyone can sit even if they squeeze together.

Down.

Before everyone arrived, Lin Dong carried fresh grass to feed the horses and goats. Xiaodouzi also put half a bowl of rice in a decent manner to feed the chickens and ducks. The rice was all picked by him in the fields.

After the ears were swollen, there were too many shriveled shells, so Jiang Yan asked him to keep them to feed the chickens and ducks at home.

"Aunt, isn't dinner ready yet?" Shangguan Zixuan ate the oil dumplings in his hand, but his eyes kept glancing at the vegetable table, and Wang Cai beside him also looked at it.

The Youdunzi tastes mellow and crispy. It is a snack that neither of them has eaten before. They couldn't stop eating it for a while.

Jiang Yan watched the two of them nibbling on the fried dumplings in their hands, staring eagerly at the table. There was no image of a noble man, only two greedy brats.

Due to some farce in the morning, Shangguan Zixuan was not sent home. In addition, he wanted to stay overnight, so Jiang Yan had no choice but to give up.

"After a while, when the uncles who helped with the work today come over, we can start eating. If you are hungry, you can eat a few fried dumplings first. I will fry more."

Just as she was saying this, a man walked into the yard carrying a basket of things. Jiang Yan turned around and saw that it was Lin Gensheng who came. Life has been better during this period. He has raised some meat. At this time, it looks like he has no meat.

It was so scary before.

"Xiao Jiang, I'm here to give you something." Lin Gensheng smiled honestly. He put down the basket on his back. Inside was a large bag of dried beans and several bags of cakes only available from stalls in the town, all tied with red paper.

The bags are piled up in square shapes.

Lin Gensheng brought it out with a smile and put it aside: "This year's new soybeans have been harvested. Thank you for taking care of your family during this period. There is nothing else at home. Our newly smoked dried tofu is here for you to try."

He said with a slight blush on his face. These are trivial things. The dried tofu is smoked at home and is not worth much. Compared with the money Aunt Jiang makes with their family, it is simply insignificant here. I am worried that Mrs. Li

Bo, he went to the town to buy some pastries, so he had the nerve to carry them over.

Jiang Yan did not refuse and asked Lin Dong to accept it. She also gave the soap to Lin Gensheng's family at a low price. Seeing those large bags of pastries, he knew that their business was doing well.

She smiled generously and said, "Thank you, Brother Gensheng. I haven't eaten smoked dried beans at home this year. It's just in time for dinner. Let's stay and have dinner together."

Lin Gensheng was a little embarrassed. He refused repeatedly in embarrassment. He was originally here as a gift, so how could he still eat? The food in the Lin family was so good. Every time he ate, he felt that he had taken a huge advantage, and he felt really embarrassed.

Jiang Yan winked at Lin Xi, and Lin Xi immediately came up to pull her away. After a few words, Lin Gensheng was left behind.

Not long after, Lin Yousheng and Zhang Yanzi's family arrived at the yard. They were also carrying baskets containing freshly picked green leaves: "There aren't many green leaves on the mountain recently. It's hard to find them. It's probably only this month."

Jiang Yan nodded. Green leaf tofu itself is not a long-term business. It only lasts a few months every year. Now that there are other ways to make a living, it doesn't matter if it stops.

When Lin Bei went to Lao Wu's house, Lao Wu came back dragging a cart of firewood. Today he went to the mountains to set traps, hoping to catch some game and chop some firewood.

He was pulling a donkey cart, and the cart behind was full of dry firewood. During this time, the Lin family was busy with the autumn harvest. Lin Dong and the others did not go up the mountain. The firewood at home was almost used. When Lin Bei came over to call for dinner,

Old Wu simply pulled a cart of firewood and drove over.

At the dinner table, everyone ate happily. After the meal, Jiang Yancai continued: "We don't have many paddy fields. The rice in the fields has been harvested, and then we will start to tidy up the paddy fields. Let's start with our own paddy fields, and then

After the autumn harvest in the village is completed, we will teach the village to clear out the land together. It is now September, and the late rice matter should be done sooner rather than later. If it is too late, it will be delayed."

Old Wu said: "Okay, tomorrow I will go to Li Zheng to buy two more acres of paddy fields, and we will plant them together with late rice."

Lin Yousheng answered: "Our family doesn't buy paddy fields anymore. It's just me and Yanzi. We can just take care of the little fields we have, but if we have more, we won't be able to take care of them."

Lin Gensheng also nodded. His family's paddy field had just been obtained. If the grain in the field had not been confiscated, he almost sold it along with him in order to treat Chunhua.
