In the early morning, the vibrating alarm clock under the pillow woke Li Dong up, and she entered the space with her still vibrating mobile phone.

In the mirror, there was indeed another fat girl with a shiny face.

The oil that was wiped off was still slightly black.

I hurriedly took a shower, dried my hair, and braided it to make room. The two people in the same room were still awake.

She dressed neatly and pushed her new bicycle out of the room.

She can't tie a basket.

No wooden sticks were prepared either.

Grandma Li heard the commotion and came out. Seeing her eldest granddaughter helpless with the two baskets, she went to call Grandpa Li.

Grandpa Li found suitable tree sticks from the firewood pile and chopped them.After a while, the two baskets on the back seat of the bicycle were tied up...

……

The Geng family was having breakfast when Li Dong arrived.

Geng Xiangdong was surprised, "What time did you come out?"

Li Dong: "..." She was just trying to be quick and forgot to take into account this person's brain.

"It's the first boat. I don't want to come out without taking advantage of the cool weather in the morning."

He Hongmei pushed her husband away and called Li Dong outside the courtyard door to come in for breakfast.

"I've had breakfast."

Li Dong said, taking out the bucket from the basket that had been moved out of the space before entering the family's home: "Where's Little Green? I brought delicious food for it."

He Hongmei called Xiaolu behind the door.

The little turtle crawled out slowly, as if smelling the smell of food, the little turtle crawled towards Li Dong.

Li Dong fished out a few small fish and placed them on the well platform, then carried the barrel into the living room.

He Hongmei drank the porridge in a few mouthfuls, "Aren't you harvesting wheat? Why do you still have time?"

"hey-hey."

Li Dong laughed and asked, "Aunt He, do you think I look like someone who works in the fields?"

He Hongmei also smiled, "I forgot. I heard others say that the wheat harvest was done, so I thought you would be busy."

He Hongmei dragged her to sit down on the sofa and asked her how she was doing.

Of course, Li Dong only announced the good news. She then asked He Hongmei how her appetite was lately.Why do you look thinner?

He Hongmei touched her face, "Many people said that I have lost weight and my appetite has improved."

"This is all thanks to you. With Xiaolu accompanying me, my mood has changed."

"I also dug plantains a few times and came back to make buns to eat, but they were not as delicious as your buns."

"Your Uncle Geng asked someone to bring back cumin. He made me an iron mesh. I bought a chicken, marinated it like you did and roasted it. Sprinkling it with cumin powder really gave it a unique taste. "

"If it wasn't too hot and I was afraid of getting burned, I could roast another chicken."

Li Dong was happy for her, "I just said that your spirit is different when I see you today."

"right?"

He Hongmei smiled and narrowed her eyes, "I will go back to my parents' home. My parents also said that my mental state has improved a lot..."

Seeing that the two were chatting animatedly, Geng Xiangdong cleared the table and went to work.

After He Hongmei learned that Li Dong was looking for a leather box, she persuaded her to buy a wooden box.

"Wooden boxes are strong and durable, and leather boxes are used for travel."

Li Dong also knew it, but she wanted to use the leather box to tell Grandma Li that she wanted to exchange for the dowry box.

Seeing He Hongmei looking at him eagerly, Li Dong couldn't bear to refuse, "Okay."

He Hongmei happily took the key and took her out.

They went to Dongmen Street.

Most of the residents on Dongmen Street are craftsmen.

There are two masters who are doing carpentry work.

He Hongmei took Li Dong to the restaurant she had visited.

Wooden furniture these days will be engraved with flowers, plants, birds and animals.

But the ground is 'original' dirt.Whether there is a lot of dust depends on whether the ground is wet or not.

Too wet and mold will grow.

Too dry and dusty.

Therefore, Li Dong didn't listen to He Hongmei. She pointed to a pure flat red wooden box and asked how much it cost.

The carpenter who was carving with his head down looked up and said, "15."

15?

Pure wooden furniture in this era is not cheap, right?

"A couple."

He Hongmei said the second half of the sentence for the concise and concise carpenter.

The carpenter nodded.

The price of 15 yuan per pair is acceptable.

Should I buy a pair of dowry boxes?The things she prepared were all individual items, and she had no intention of preparing anything for the second-rate guy.

Li Hong only had one box for her dowry. When she went to add more boxes, she saw that the contents were only half a box.

Since they are sold in pairs, she should buy a pair.

The apprentice moved out the wooden box. After seeing Li Dong's bicycle, he went to the backyard and pulled a large basket of wood shavings.

The basket was disassembled, the bottom and sides of the basket were padded with wood shavings, and the box was placed in the basket.

I found two short pieces of wood, about the same length as the back seat.

He pulled the drill and quickly drilled four eye holes into the two pieces of wood.

Then he removed the two wooden sticks from the back seat and tied the wooden pieces to both sides of the back seat with ropes.

The rope is passed through the eye holes at both ends of the wooden cube.

The next step is to use the rope to pass through the holes in the basket, then through the two holes in the middle of the wood and pull hard to the other side of the back seat.

The basket was pulled next to the back seat.

Tie the rope back and forth a few times on both sides of the back seat, and the basket on one side is tied up.

After the basket on the other side was tied in the same way, the apprentice pressed down on the basket to try.

Then he told Li Dong, "Okay."

Li Dong: "..." You changed my rear bumper so enthusiastically, who should pay the traffic police fine?

……

Li Dong wanted to go home directly, but He Hongmei refused to let him go. "The sun is too hot, so I won't go back until three or four in the afternoon."

Li Dong was dragged back to Beimen Street by her.

Li Dong: "..." She doesn't want to face Director Geng?

He didn't buy vegetables, but Li Dong brought a lot of small fish, so He Hongmei snatched the turtle's food.

"Let's eat this. I didn't know the turtle likes to eat fish. I'll buy it for it tomorrow."

The bucket is the big wooden bucket used to carry water at home. Even if it carries water, it still holds a soup basin.

Li Dong rolled up his sleeves and said, "You go and make the noodles. I'll add seasonings and marinate for a while before frying."

The noodles are awake and the fish is marinated.

The two went back to the living room to chat.

Unconsciously, it was eleven o'clock, and the two of them hurriedly went to the kitchen to work and chat.

He Hongmei makes a fire, and Li Dong cooks fish.

After frying, there was not much oil in the oil can. Li Dong felt embarrassed and said, "Eating like this consumes a lot of oil."

"It's ok."

He Hongmei didn't care. She couldn't help but drool when she smelled the smell of fried fish.

"I'll go buy it tomorrow. I still have half a pound of gas stamps at home."

Li Dong was relieved. Today was already the 27th, and half a pound of oil would last until next month.

Geng Xiangdong smelled the fragrance before he even entered the house.

He Hongmei was already anxious and urged her husband to wash his hands and eat quickly.

Geng Xiangdong saw a pot of small fish on the dining table and said with a smile, "Is this stealing Xiaolu's food?"

"Yes."

He Hongmei nodded, "I don't know if Xiao Lu is delicious when eaten raw. Anyway, our cooked ones are very delicious."

She tasted one before it came out of the pan. She never knew fish could be so delicious.

Geng Xiangdong washed his hands and sat down, "It's rare for fish to appear on our dining table."

He Hongmei gave Li Dong a piece of pancake, "Eat it quickly. Today I saw how Dabao made it. If you can buy this kind of small fish in the future, I will make it for you."

Geng Xiangdong took a piece of pancake for himself, "I'm looking forward to it."

We just ate last night, and we were guests at someone else's house. Li Dong only ate three pieces of pancakes and stopped eating.

He Hongmei ate four pieces of cake before putting down her chopsticks.

Geng Xiangdong took care of the rest directly.

He also said, "Daughter-in-law, if you can cook like Dabao and eat like this every day, I won't be able to eat enough."

"You are beautiful."

He Hongmei glanced at her husband. The white flour was not the problem, the problem was the oil for frying the fish.

She couldn't say it, lest Dabao would be embarrassed.

Who knew her husband would say again, "It must take a lot of fuel to eat like this, right? Why don't you ask me to get some soybean oil?"

"We still have gas tickets."

He Hongmei glared at her husband, "You clear the table and wash the dishes. You only eat as much as you want."

"Row!"

Geng Xiangdong stood up and said, "I'll do some exercise."

After Geng Xiangdong washed the pots and dishes, he came to the living room to chat with Li Dong.

If you can answer, answer it; if you can't answer, make up your answer.

He Hongmei urged him to take a lunch break, as if he was interrogating a prisoner. Is it a chat?

Geng Xiangdong looked at his watch. There was only half an hour left. Why should he sleep?

He Hongmei rushed him to the study, disturbing her and Dabao here.

Without Geng Xiangdong around, Li Dong relaxed and chatted with He Hongmei again.

After He Hongmei's mood changed, she became more funny when she spoke, and the two of them burst into laughter from time to time.

When Geng Xiangdong went to work, he greeted the two of them, and He Hongmei waved him away impatiently.

Unconsciously, the sun sets in the west.

He Hongmei took ten yuan for Li Dong and said, "Take it, this is a gift from Aunt He to you. When you get married, Aunt He can't go to congratulate you in person."

"After I get married, when I come to the county again, I want to see Aunt He."

Li Dong nodded and accepted this important gift.

In an era when gifts were only [-] cents and [-] yuan, a gift of ten yuan was really too heavy.

He Hongmei still sent her outside the gate and told her to ride slower on the road.

After riding out of the city, Li Dongcai entered the space with people and the car.

First, I poured the wine back into the bottle, and then bought a bottle of white wine, adding jade water to both.

Then pick out the things you want to 'buy' back, settle the bill, pay the money, organize and pack...

The two wooden boxes on the back seat of the bicycle were also used by Li Dong.

It doesn't matter if there is no rope, she has cloth.

Li Dong, a prodigal girl, took out a piece of cloth and scattered it on the supermarket floor. She cut an inch-wide strip of cloth along the edge of the cloth and rubbed the two strips together to form a rope.
