Sweet 80s

"Ah?! What did you say?!"

The smile on Lin Xiangdong's face froze instantly, his pupils suddenly shrank, revealing an expression of incredible surprise.

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal." Wang Shuping stepped forward, grabbed his arm and patted it gently.

"No...what should we do with the bicycle...?" His eyes were wandering and his words were fragmented. He had obviously lost his calm and decisiveness.

"Although the purchase method was not legal, we were deceived and are also victims. Let's send the car to the police station first and we can deal with the rest later."

Wang Shuping's tone was soft and gentle.

Things have come to this point. Even if I go out and have a fight with Zhou Zheng, it will not change the outcome. It is better to calmly accept the development of the situation.

Although Lin Xiangdong nodded in agreement, the gloomy and unhappy expression on his face lingered.

When they returned to the house again, Zhou Zheng stood up and nudged Wu Aimin with his elbow.

Wu Aimin then took out a hundred-dollar bill that he had prepared in advance from his pocket and placed it in front of them.

Lin Xiangdong was stunned and didn't say anything. Wang Shuping understood what he meant and quickly stuffed the money back into Wu Aimin's hands.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

"You guys take it, the car was introduced by Lao Zhou, and it came from my brother..."

"No, no, we can't accept this money..."

Amid the shoving and pushing, Lin Xiangdong calmed down and spoke.

"I knew it was wrong at the time, but I bought it because it was cheap. I am responsible, but it has nothing to do with Lao Zhou..."

It was not until he heard Lin Xiangdong say this that Zhou Zheng's tense nerves relaxed a little.

He snatched the money from Wu Aimin's hand and slammed it on the table, then pulled Wu Aimin and walked out quickly.

Lin Xiangdong put the money back into Zhou Zheng's pocket again.

Ignoring each other's refusal, after a few rounds of tug-of-war, Zhou Zheng and the other man finally gave up insisting.

After they left, accompanied by Wang Shuping, Lin Xiangdong pushed his bicycle to the police station to explain the situation.

We have seen many people making unreasonable demands and evading the main issues, but it is really rare to see people actively cooperating with case investigations and voluntarily handing over stolen goods.

The policeman looked as if he had received a pleasant surprise, and the smile on his face never left his face from beginning to end.

When the two finished describing the entire incident, what they got was a result completely opposite to that of Wu Aimin's bicycle.

The police officer said with a smile that the group of bicycle thieves had not been caught and that there had been no cases of lost bicycles recently.

"Won't the car be confiscated?" Lin Xiangdong asked weakly.

"Haha, you need evidence to confiscate a bicycle. We can't prove that your bicycle is stolen. So, go register it first. If there is a related case later, just cooperate with the investigation."

"Cooperate, cooperate, we must cooperate."

The two men walked out of the police station and looked at the shiny 28-inch truck parked outside. Suddenly, they felt a very unreal trance.

"That's it, my old comrade. Our comradeship will last as long as it lasts." Lin Xiangdong walked over and patted the car seat.

Wang Shuping nodded: "Who knows, maybe he can walk for a lifetime."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly felt that the world was full of unspeakable wonders. They felt awe and felt the miracle of every moment.

With this unexpected emergency, the relationship between Lin Xiangdong and Zhou Zheng eased a lot.

Zhou Zheng wanted to invite Lin Xiangdong to have a drink together. Maybe because he was in a good mood, he even took the initiative to call Liang Fengshou.

Unexpectedly, Liang Fengshou went home on the weekend to take care of household affairs, and Zhou Zheng surprisingly waited for him to come back.

Weekdays returned to their former calm.

Wang Shuping had originally intended to use the liver-colored old-fashioned clay pot to make preserved eggs, but it was delayed by the "third party incident" that suddenly appeared.

As the temperature gradually rises, summer is the season with the least appetite.

Biann eggs are also called gray-wrapped eggs, wrapped eggs, etc., and have a place on the tables of people in the Central Plains.

Due to different names in some regions, some people confuse Biandan and Pidan.

This has led to a lot of controversy between changed eggs and preserved eggs. Although the two differ by only one character, there is actually a huge difference between them.

The most intuitive difference is.

Preserved eggs are made from fresh raw eggs, while preserved eggs are made from raw duck eggs.

There is also an egg product - preserved egg.

Both preserved eggs and century eggs are made from raw duck eggs, but the production process is slightly different.

No matter what, deliciousness is the bottom line.

The texture of the transformed egg is chewy, tender and delicious, and there are many ways to eat it.

Cut into pieces or strips, add minced garlic, chili oil, soy sauce and other seasonings and mix well. It is an appetizer.

Stir-fry it with vegetables such as green peppers and add appropriate amount of salt for seasoning. It is a home-cooked dish that goes well with rice.

Boiling the preserved eggs with amaranth, garlic cloves, etc. will make a delicious soup.

But the Lin family all agreed that boiled eggs mixed with cucumbers, onions and other vegetables, with a little garlic juice and a few drops of sesame oil, would be a must-have summer delicacy that would look great anywhere.

The preserved eggs she brought back from the Lin family last time were eaten up in just a few days, so she decided to pickle some herself.

The only materials you need to prepare are raw eggs and the thick layer of "armor" wrapped around the eggshell.

The ingredients are simple, but it takes a little effort.

Children are often most interested in things that adults find troublesome.

Most of the work of preparing materials was left to the two sons.

Lin Xiangdong found a large pot at home that had not been used for many years, poured quicklime into it, then slowly added clean water and stirred it with a shovel.

During the stirring process, the lime generates a lot of heat and smoke. After the temperature drops, pour in the pre-burned wood ash, salt, alkaline noodles and dry yellow mud and stir evenly.

Wang Shuping has washed the eggs one by one, carefully placed them in the mud, and coated them with an even thickness of mud.

After wrapping, use a small iron ring to scoop out the eggs, place them on fine sawdust, and evenly coat them with another layer of sawdust. All that’s left is to wait.

After the eggs wrapped in sawdust solidify for a while, seal them and store them in a dark place at room temperature.

You need to check the changes of the preserved eggs every week or so.

You can open it directly to see if the eggs are cooked, or you can shake it and listen to the sound. If there is no shaking or water sound, it proves that the eggs are cooked successfully.

After dinner, Wang Shuping and Lin Xiangdong discussed going to visit their niece Yan Shengnan, and their two sons seemed very happy.

Just as the nap was over, I heard shouting outside the yard.

"Lin Kai." Ji Xiaoguang didn't dare to come in directly, so he stood outside and shouted twice.

Woof woof woof.

When Dahuang heard the noise outside the courtyard gate, he ran to the door and called out twice to inform his owner.

Dabao, who was in the house, put on his clothes and ran out. A few minutes later, he came back and said to Wang Shuping with a slightly excited look, "Mom, I won't go to Sister Nannan's house anymore."

Wang Shuping looked outside and saw Ji Xiaoguang standing at the door with his hands in his pockets, swaying back and forth.

"So you're staying home alone?"

"Well, Ji Xiaoguang and I are playing at home and won't go out."

Wang Shuping thought about it and decided that it was no big deal since they were all boys. After giving a few instructions as usual, she took Erbao and Lin Xiangdong out.

After making sure they were far away, Ji Xiaoguang lifted up his clothes, took out two slingshots hidden in his waistband and handed them to Dabao.

"This is a new one I made. Try it and see if it works."

Dabao took it and pulled the rubber band a few times, feeling that it was quite strong, so he nodded and said, "Well done, are you still going to rob the bird's nest?"

"No, I plan to practice more and go hunting rabbits in the winter when it snows."

"Okay, by the way, has your bird grown up yet?"

Ji Xiaoguang waved his hands: "They are all dead. They are too difficult to raise. Lin Kai, I will practice with your rabbit first."

Then he squatted down and picked up a few pebbles on the ground.

Dahuang was staying beside them obediently. When he saw Ji Xiaoguang bending down and squatting, he immediately went forward, humming and wagging his tail, thinking that he wanted to play with him.

"Da Huang, go pick it up."

Ji Xiaoguang threw the small stone casually, and it rolled under the rabbit cage.

Dahuang stretched his neck, grabbed the ground with his front paws, and pushed his hind paws hard inside.

However, the distance between the cage and the ground was too small, only a dozen centimeters, and Dahuang couldn't even get his head in.

Woo~Woof~

Then Dahuang turned his head and looked at the two of them with an expression of shame for not being able to do it.

Ji Xiaoguang ignored Dahuang's reaction, put the stone into the slingshot, pulled the rubber band to its limit, and shot it towards the rabbit cage with a bang.

Oooh ooh.

A miserable dog bark came out of Dahuang's mouth.

The small stone did not follow the set route, but deviated completely and hit the big yellow dog's butt.

Ji Xiaoguang laughed so hard that he fell backwards. Dahuang thought he was being punished for not being able to pick up the stone.

The ears swung back and the tail stopped wagging and slowly hung down under the body.

It came to the back of the chicken coop with a wronged look on its face and hid itself in the corner.

"Just be sure before you hit me." Dabao said to him somewhat unhappily.

"I aim carefully every time, but I just can't hit the target." Ji Xiaoguang pulled the slingshot to its full extent again, and the bullet flew out with a whoosh.

An extremely clear muffled sound reached the ears of the two people.
