Lin Wanzhao doesn¡¯t eat much in the morning. Two steamed buns, half a fried dough stick, and a bowl of tofu are enough. Looking at the old man immersed in eating, Lin Wanzhao smiled in his eyes. After a lifetime of suffering, it was time for the old man to enjoy himself.
"Why did you throw away all yesterday's leftovers and they weren't spoiled?" Liu Aiguo felt uncomfortable with the vinegar sauce on his steamed dumplings, so he went to the kitchen to pick out some garlic and ate it with vinegar and garlic. Talking about the leftovers from last night.
¡°I won¡¯t eat it if it¡¯s not bad. It¡¯s said on TV that eating leftovers will cause cancer.¡±
"Nonsense, there is no one who doesn't eat leftovers. Don't dump them in the future, I'll eat them."
"You go ahead and eat it, I won't eat it anyway."
Liu Aiguo cleaned up the breakfast, Lin Wanzhao tidied up the house, and wanted to seal the fire when he saw him. In the village, each household installs its own heating system, with each household having a large stove. This is not a unified heating system in the city.
"Don't close it. It's getting colder day by day. If it's always closed, the house will be even less warm." Lin Wanzhao looked at the stove hole and opened the bottom of the stove that Liu Aiguo had sealed with his feet.
"You have to use coal sparingly. When the children come back during the New Year, they will have to burn it day by day. The children are afraid of the cold." Liu Aiguo pressed his feet against the fire door at the bottom of the furnace, pulled and closed it, and then closed the open bottom of the furnace.
Seeing that he was still dreaming about the children going home to celebrate the New Year, Lin Wanzhao did not say anything, "Buy coal for a thousand yuan, and it is enough to burn."
"What are you buying so much coal for?"
"I'm afraid of the cold and I'm unconscious."
After saying this, Lin Wanzhao kicked the bottom of the stove away, put on an old turban and scarf, and went out.
"This old woman."
Liu Aiguo muttered something, and after sealing the fire again, he went to the yard outside and picked up a lot of branches under the wall and brought them into the house to burn the kang. Don't forget that the Liu family built a three-story courtyard house a few years ago, which was specially used for rent. The old couple lived in an old bungalow. They were old and did not build a building, so they lived in six bungalows. They could not go in and out. convenient.
Knowing that the old woman was afraid of the cold, Liu Aiguo couldn't bear to burn more coal, so he planned to burn the kang to keep the whole house warm. It was more economical than coal, and tree branches cost no money at all.
Lin Wanzhao went out for a walk. In fact, the village was still the same village, the road was still the same road, and the old locust tree was still the same old locust tree. Because there are many factories in the surrounding area and there are many migrant workers, almost every house in the village has built a building for rent. But it was different. The neighbors and villagers were still young and full of energy. Even the juicy fresh vegetables displayed in the vegetable shop at the entrance of the village were particularly attractive.
In the past, we had to stock up on a lot of chicken, fish, and elbow meat in advance during the Chinese New Year. We don¡¯t need to do that now. Everything is convenient now, and we can buy it whenever it¡¯s fresh. Lin Wanzhao paced in and didn't buy anything else. She didn't know how to eat too high-end food, just ordinary dishes. Fresh purple eggplants, green cucumbers, and tender loofahs each cost a pound. I also ordered two plates of stupid eggs. This kind of eggs is more expensive. I was reluctant to eat them before, but now Lin Wanzhao has figured it out and is willing to eat them.
There are too many spines on crucian carp, but the carp looks fat.
Two big energetic roosters with colorful feathers in the chicken coop at the door of the vegetable shop attracted Lin Wanzhao's attention. Lin Wanzhao copied his hands and asked the shop owner, "Boss, how do you sell your chickens?"
"Old lady, you are really discerning. This was sent from my hometown this morning. It was raised on grain, not on feed. It's just a bit expensive. It costs 20 yuan per pound without shedding."
Lin Wanzhao picked a big one and said, "Weigh it for me."
After weighing, the store helped remove the chicken feathers and wash them clean. Lin Wanzhao picked out a large handful of bananas, a large box of strawberries, a box of sugar oranges, and a box of mineral water. After checking out, he asked the store to deliver them to his home.
She went to the supermarket to buy ten pairs of thick socks knitted with cotton for herself and the old man. Finally, she hesitated for a moment between Wuliangye and Red Star Erguotou, then cruelly returned home with two bottles of Wuliangye. Liu Aiguo was not at home, so Lin Wanzhao found the phone book at home and called Dawei from her sister-in-law's house. This nephew was in the coal business in the winter and bought coal for heating from all over the country.
Lin Wanzhao specifically said, "Give me the best one. Don't get those in the past that were so smoky that they could choke people to death."
"Isn't it because you and my second uncle are trying to gain some advantage? Sister, I have to say it first, a good matchmaker is valuable."
"As long as the coal is good, it's not too expensive. Anyway, I don't have to spend money to see a doctor. I just want to save money on medicine."
Dawei¡¯s laughter came from the other end of the phone, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll send you the best one early tomorrow morning.¡±
After finishing what needed to be done, Lin Wanzhao glanced at the clock on the wall, set up a casserole on the charcoal stove in the courtyard, and prepared to stew chicken.
This stewed chicken needs to be simmered over low heat. First, saut¨¦ the onion and ginger until fragrant, then lightly fry, add the sauce, use a charcoal stove casserole, simmer it slowly for an hour, and finally add some salt to adjust the saltiness. The meat is really crispy and the bones are rotten, and it is extremely fragrant. What kind of stew is cooked in an electric pot? It's far from enough.After finishing the three floors, Lin Wanzhao went to the boiler room to sit and warm his hands. Many of her tenants have lived here for several years. Lin Wanzhao dared not say that she was a good landlord. When others raised rent, she followed suit without falling behind. Every time she collects rent, she is very proactive and always does it sooner rather than later. But she's not mean either. It's cold in the north, and her courtyard is equipped with a large boiler. In the past, the couple lived in the boiler room to burn the boiler. Later, Lin Wanzhao couldn't bear it, and Liu Aiguo was getting older, so the two of them discussed the matter before hiring her. people.
The couple are so frugal that they are careful when burning coal at home. There is never a shortage of coal in the boiler room. She would charge the tenants for heating, but she also provided enough coal fire, so it was warm morning and night.
Anyway, he is just an ordinary landlord.
After warming up for a while, Lin Wanzhao paid Lao Zhang, who burned the boiler, his wages, stood up and went home.
Count the rent clearly at home, put one hundred on one side, and put fifty on the other. Write down the amount in a small book, and also record the household expenses in the account book. Then, cut a long piece of paper, put one end of the paper into the middle of the money like a bank, fix it with pressure, hold the paper in a bundle and fold it, tie it at the waist, and put the pile of money neatly in the inner pocket of the bag. , deposit it in the bank tomorrow.
Liu Aiguo could never tire of staring at Lin Wanzhao counting money, binding money and accounting under the light, feeling extremely satisfied in his heart.
That is the satisfaction of life.
"Forget it, life is getting better now, just spend some money." In the evening, Liu Aiguo also imitated Lin Wanbao, who soaked his feet in a red plastic bucket last night and put on the newly purchased cotton socks the next day.
He has also put away Wuliangye, but this damn old woman is becoming more and more extravagant. Forget it, let¡¯s drink together when our sons come back.

PS: Nowadays, landlords usually transfer money via Xinbao Xin, but think about it, it should feel more satisfying when receiving cash. The charm of banknotes is by no means comparable to the numbers when scanning QR codes. Although everyone now scans QR codes, banknotes are used less and less.
