Chapter Eighty-Nine: Poverty Limits the Imagination
Of course, when Ye Lin unloaded these things, Grandpa Du and Grandma Du stopped them, and in the end, Ye Lin said a few words in Grandpa Du's ear, so Grandpa Du didn't stop and let Ye Lin unload the things.
After unloading what should be unloaded, Zhai Ying said to Grandpa Du: "Grandpa Du, I'll go home first and come back tomorrow." ”
"Okay, okay, go back. ”
"Grandpa Du, can I help you put the sweet potatoes in the cellar?" Looking at the bag of sweet potatoes on the ground, Ye Lin asked.
"No, I'll put it myself, you can go and send the things to Xiaoying first." ”
"That's fine. Ye Lin nodded.
"Let's go. Ye Lin turned back to Zhai Ying and said.
"Hmm. ”
Zhai Ying's house is a little far from Grandpa Du's house, one is in the east of the village, and the other is in the northernmost part of the village. ”
"Good. Zhai Ying didn't refuse, handed her hand to Ye Lin, and asked Ye Lin to pull her up.
"Is it cold?" Seeing that Zhai Ying was wearing a little thin, Ye Lin asked.
To be honest, Zhai Ying's clothes are no longer as simple as thin, it should be said that she is very thin, and now it is so cold, Zhai Ying's lower body is still wearing single pants, even if it is the upper body, it is only a little thicker.
"It's not cold. Zhai Ying shook her head.
Ye Lin knew that Zhai Ying was lying, how could she not be cold if she wore so little, but what did you ask him to say, could it be that I was cold.
Although he knew that Zhai Ying was lying, Ye Lin couldn't help it, because he didn't bring clothes over, if he had known, he could have brought a set of his sister's cotton clothes, but now, he could only watch.
Ye Lin didn't let the rhubarb run so fast, because the faster he ran, the colder Zhai Ying became, but soon he arrived at Zhai Ying's house, just a village, even if it was a little distance, how far could it be.
"Ye Lin, you wait for me to open the door. When she arrived at the door of Zhai Ying's house, Zhai Ying said to Ye Lin.
"Hmm. ”
Zhai Ying got down from the sleigh, went over to open the gate, Ye Lin drove the sleigh directly in, after Ye Lin entered, Zhai Ying hurriedly closed the door again, and shouted to the house: "Mom, Dad, there are guests." ”
Soon the door of the hall opened, and two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, came out of the house, they were also dressed very thinly, not thicker than what Zhai Ying was wearing, to be honest, before seeing them, Ye Lin thought that Zhai Ying would not be seen at home.
Now it doesn't seem to be the case, and their family is poor.
How can a person like Ye Lin know the warmth and coldness of the world, how can he know what hunger and cold are, like Zhai Ying's family, it is normal in this era.
Although Zhai Ying is wearing thin, at least she has a set of clothes to wear, although this dress is a patch of patches, but it is better than no clothes to wear, and it is better than several brothers and sisters who only have one set of clothes.
It's not that there are nothing, in the countryside, there are many only, several brothers and sisters only have one set of clothes, whoever goes out wears it, and those who don't go out stay in the house and bed.
"Hello uncle and aunt. Seeing Zhai Ying's parents coming out of the house, they stood at the door and didn't dare to come, Ye Lin hurriedly got down from the sleigh to say hello.
Of course Ye Lin knew why they didn't dare to come over, it was because of the rhubarb, five dogs of this size were really scary, which was why Ye Lin dared to run so far alone.
"You...... Hello, come into the house. ”
Although they didn't know who Ye Lin was, Zhai Ying's parents were still very enthusiastic to let Ye Lin into the house.
"Mom and Dad, this is Ye Lin. ”
"Ye Lin, are you Ye Lin?" Hearing Zhai Ying's words, her mother walked a few steps to Ye Lin's side from the door, probably because of the five dogs, Zhai Ying's mother stopped a few meters away from Ye Lin.
"Yes Auntie, I'm Ye Lin. ”
"Come in, come in. ”
Zhai Ying brought back so many things from the city twice, how could her parents not know the name Ye Lin, to be honest, if it wasn't for those things that Zhai Ying brought back, their family's life would be even more difficult.
"Let's get the stuff in first. ”
"What's it?" asked Zhai Ying's father.
"Dad, Ye Lin sent some food to He's family. Zhai Ying whispered to her father.
"What? food!" Zhai Ying's father was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Ye Lin.
Ye Lin nodded, and went over to open the storage box on the sled, revealing the grain in the storage box, seeing these grains, Zhai Ying's father's eyes glowed green, no way, these grains are too important to their family.
Yanmoyu Village belongs to the mid-mountainous area, and although each family is not as far away as the mountainous area, there is still a distance, so there is no need to worry about someone picking up the wall, otherwise Ye Lin would not open the storage box so openly.
"Xiaoying, isn't this okay?" Zhai Ying's mother looked at Zhai Ying and asked.
"Mom, this is what my aunt asked Ye Lin to send over, and I have already promised to accept it. ”
"But ......"
Zhai Ying's mother wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhai Ying and said, "Mom, I know what you think, it's okay, I'll pay it back later." ”
"Alas!" Zhai Ying's mother sighed, nodded, and said, "Okay, our family really needs these things." ”
"Uncle, come and do me a favor. ”
At Grandpa Du's house, because Grandpa Du is old, it was Ye Lin who unloaded, but he was not needed here.
"Hey, okay. Zhai Ying's father agreed, and came over to move things to the house, so many things, if you save some food, it will be no problem to survive this winter, he doesn't know yet, Ye Lin is going to send it over in the future.
With Zhai Ying's father to unload things, there is nothing to do with Ye Lin, Ye Lin was called into the house by Zhai Ying's mother, Zhai Ying's house is the same as Grandpa Du's house, it is three thatched houses, plus a kitchen.
There are two beds in the living room of the hall, and there are two old people sitting on one bed, needless to say, this should be Zhai Ying's grandparents, and I don't know whose bed it is as for the other bed.
"Xiaoying is back?"
"Yes, grandma. ”
"It's ......"
"Grandma, he's Ye Lin. ”
"Ye Lin, is that Ye Lin in the city?"
"Yes, grandma. ”
Zhai Ying's family didn't know who Ye Lin was, it is estimated that Zhai Ying didn't mention Ye Lin at home, too, don't forget that Ye Lin has a great favor to their family, Zhai Ying went to the city twice, and brought back so much food on both trips.
"Hello grandma. Ye Lin shouted obediently.
"Hello, hello. ”
"Hello grandpa. ”
"Okay, sit down. Zhai Ying's grandfather was about to get out of bed after speaking.
Looking at Zhai Ying's grandfather's thin clothes, Ye Lin hurriedly went over and said, "Grandpa, you don't have to come down, just go to bed." ”
