Chapter 211: It's hard to be a good person

"Uncle Jiang, you are ......"

"Ye Lin, that's the case, a few relatives have run out of food, I'll pull two bags of sweet potatoes back!"

"Running out of food so soon?"

Ye Lin frowned, you must know that half of this month has not passed, if you run out of food at this time, it is really unreasonable.

Either Uncle Jiang's relatives hid something from him, or they made it casually, so there was no food so quickly.

But either way, it's not a good thing for Uncle Jiang.

Uncle Jiang was originally just helping them, but now what is this, this is not helping them at all, but raising them.

"Well, you came to the house last night to borrow food, and your aunt gave them some, but that little food is enough for something!"

After listening to Uncle Jiang, Ye Lin frowned and said: "Uncle Jiang, the amount of food you will be given in the future will also be limited, twenty catties of white flour, fifty catties of cornmeal, and five hundred catties of sweet potatoes every month, I don't care who you give it to, it will be so much every month in the future." ”

"Uh! Ye Lin, you are ......"

You must know that Ye Lin has never limited his amount before, as long as he needs it, he basically gives as much as he wants.

"Uncle Jiang, you also know the current shortage of food, so I can't help it, anyway, it's so much a month, you keep your own food for others, it's not something I can manage. ”

There is no way, this bad guy Ye Lin can only do it himself, he knows that Uncle Jiang is a good person, but being a good person sometimes suffers too much.

Just like those relatives in his family, at the beginning, Uncle Jiang took the initiative to help, just help a little bit every month.

But now, my appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and I can't help anymore, so I come to the house to ask for it, and Uncle Jiang will not refuse, basically I can give it if I can.

This is not a good thing for Uncle Jiang, Ye Lin is afraid that this will become a habit.

"Ye Lin, can you be accommodating with this, just this time, and next time it will be limited. ”

"No, Uncle Jiang, I think you also know that I have always been a person. ”

Of course Uncle Jiang knew, but Ye Lin gave too little, twenty catties of white flour, fifty catties of cornmeal, and five hundred catties of sweet potatoes.

It is more than enough for their family to eat by themselves, but it is not enough to say it to their relatives, even if they give it all.

"This ......"

Uncle Jiang could only smile bitterly.

"Uncle Jiang, during the three-year difficult period, it was a little stronger than now, right? Or it is about the same as now, I want to ask, how much did you help those relatives in your family at that time?"

Hearing Ye Lin ask, Uncle Jiang thought for a while and said, "It's about five hundred catties of sweet potatoes a month!"

"Then let me ask you, how much do you help a month now?"

"Uh......"

Ye Lin's words made Uncle Jiang stunned for a moment, yes! I really didn't think about this, if it wasn't for Ye Lin asking today, he really wouldn't have calculated this account.

This calculation really shocked him, you must know that the current price of grain is several times, or even ten times that of that time.

Prices aside, there is much more grain than at that time.

In the past, a family could only help with 100 catties of sweet potatoes a month, but now! A family has 20 or 30 catties of white flour, 100 catties of cornmeal, and 200 catties of sweet potatoes a month.

"Ye Lin, I ......"

"Uncle Jiang, I know you won't refuse, but sometimes you have to learn to refuse. ”

"Alas!" Uncle Jiang sighed.

"Of course, if you insist on giving, I won't stop you, but have you thought about it, if you continue like this, you will raise a group of moths, a group of leeches. ”

"I understand Ye Lin, I will tell them, but I still have to help this month, starting next month! I will tell them that food is in short supply now. ”

"Okay, you can do it yourself!"

Ye Lin has never been harsh on Uncle Jiang, but he doesn't want Uncle Jiang, a good person, to be hurt in any way.

"Well, I know how to do it. ”

"It's good to know, as for the food, you can do it yourself! ”

Since Uncle Jiang has accepted his opinion, Ye Lin doesn't care, because he believes in Uncle Jiang.

"I'm going to pull 500 catties of sweet potatoes today! ”

"As I said, you can do it yourself, and the food is in your own hands. ”

Uncle Jiang did what he said, so he packed ten bags of sweet potatoes and left, not to mention white noodles, not even cornmeal.

Watching Uncle Jiang leave, Ye Lin shook his head and smiled bitterly, good people are sometimes not good people! This is not to say that good people are bad.

But good people are more likely to be used by others, and Uncle Jiang is like this.

After Uncle Jiang left, Ye Lin fed them all over again, and then went into the house to take out some food.

This is basically what Ye Lin has to do every day, he will come every night to collect food money, and then take out some grain, and then feed Erhuang them.

After everything was done, Ye Lin locked the door and went back.

"Wow. ”

Every time Ye Lin came back from outside, the first thing he followed was always rhubarb.

"Rhubarb, have you eaten it?" Ye Lin rubbed Rhubarb's head.

"Wang. ”

"Oh! I've already eaten it, okay, let's go play after eating! I haven't eaten yet!"

"Brother Ye Lin. ”

Maybe I heard Ye Lin and Rhubarb talking! The little girl ran out of the house.

"Little love. Ye Lin squatted down and picked up the little girl and asked, "Did your sister Ye Qi get you something delicious?"

"Uh-huh!" the little girl nodded hurriedly.

"What did you take?"

Hearing Ye Lin ask, the little girl snapped her fingers and said, "There are toffee, peach crisp, jerky, and peanuts and melon seeds." ”

"Whew, it's a lot of delicious!"

"Hmmm! ”

Ye Lin carried the little girl into the hall, the meal had been arranged, and Li Ran was serving rice.

"Huh, are you eating rice today?" Ye Lin asked.

"Why, you don't want to eat it? Then I'll make you a steamed bun." ”

"No Mom, I didn't skip rice, I just didn't think of eating rice. ”

In fact, Ye Lin's family does not have much rice, and rice only accounts for 10% of the monthly grain.

Ye Lin's family has four people, he, Ye Qi and Zhai Ying each only have ten catties of food per month, Li Ran is twenty-one catties, a total of fifty-one catties.

Twenty percent of white flour is about ten catties, ten percent of rice is five catties, and the rest is coarse grains.

The reason why there is still a shortage of grain now is because the previous coarse grains can buy all cornmeal, but now it is not possible, and the current coarse grains include cornmeal, sorghum flour, dried white potatoes and fresh white potatoes.

"You don't drink rice porridge, so you can't throw it away! ”

Li Ran is right! No one in Ye Lin's family drinks rice porridge, but they all like to drink millet porridge, so there is basically no place to use five catties of rice every month.

"Mom, no one drinks rice porridge, but someone eats rice!

"Yes, Auntie, the rice is delicious. Li Ting was the first to say.

"Auntie, I like to eat white rice. The little girl said in Ye Lin's arms.

"Hahaha, what don't you like to eat?" Ye Qi tapped the little girl's nose.

How can an uncle's family compare with Ye Lin's family, let alone rice, I can't eat enough coarse grains every day, but fortunately, the little girl can come to Ye Lin's house to eat, otherwise she can only starve every day.

"Let's eat!"

Ye Lin pulled a chair over, put the little girl on the chair and said.

"Eat. ”

Hearing Li Ran say to eat, the little girl picked up the chopsticks and went to pick up the fish.

"Girl, you can't eat this, there are thorns, don't get stuck. Ye Lin hurriedly stopped the little girl and put a chicken thigh in her bowl.

"Oh!" the little girl nodded, but her eyes were still on the fish.

Ye Lin shook his head and said, "That's it, you eat the chicken thighs first, and I'll help you pick out the fish bones before eating." ”

"Thank you, Brother Ye Lin. ”

The little girl is like a cat, she loves to eat fish, but she is too small, and every time she eats fish, she gets stuck, but she still can't stop her from loving to eat.

Watching the little girl gobbling up chicken thighs, Ye Lin said to Li Ran: "Mom, why didn't you make braised pork today? ”

"I didn't know if she came here today, so she wasn't prepared, so let's do it tomorrow night. ”

"Auntie, I want to eat a big bowl of braised pork. The little girl said vaguely while eating chicken legs.

"Okay, I'll make you a big bowl. ”

"I said girl, have you finished eating?" Ye Qi asked beside him.

"After eating, if I can't finish eating, I can take it back to my grandparents. ”

"Uh, you little girl, even eat and take!" Ye Qi said with a smile.

"Isn't it okay?" asked the little girl, looking around.

"Okay, of course, I'll do more tomorrow, and Xiaoai will bring some back to my grandparents." ”

"Well, thank you, Auntie. ”

After eating, Ye Lin was about to go to the car repair shop, and just as he was about to leave, his mother called him.

"Mom, what's the matter?"

"You send Xiao Ai back, and by the way, bring these to Uncle Yi. ”

What Li Ran asked Ye Lin to bring to the uncle was the leftovers of the evening, half a fish, and almost half a chicken.

"Oh! ”

To be honest, Ye Lin doesn't like Uncle Yi, it's not that Uncle Yi can't do it, but Ye Lin doesn't like to deal with people in the courtyard.

But the task assigned by his mother, Ye Lin couldn't help but do it.

"Let's go, girl, I'll send you back. ”

The little girl may have eaten too much, and while burping, she struggled to get off the chair.

Seeing this, Ye Lin went over and picked up the little girl and said, "Eat less next time, it's not good to overeat like this." ”

"Brother Ye Lin, I don't want to eat so much, but it's too delicious. ”

"You can't eat too much if it's delicious, it's night, so you have to eat less. Ye Lin didn't know if the little girl could understand his words, probably not.

Because there is no such thing in this era, the reason why there is no such thing is because I don't want to eat too much.

Who can be the same as Ye Lin's family, eat whatever they want, eat as much as they want.
