Chapter 138: Borrowing Grain
When the old lady saw them, her face changed several times, and she scolded and left.
Zhang Zhi, the friend of the eldest cousin who came to report the news, came with his daughter-in-law, and when he saw the old lady, he scolded angrily: "What is she doing when she is an old immortal? This is to see people haunt and have an accident?"
Lin Jingguo was very angry when he heard this, picked up a small pebble and hit the old lady, just hitting the old lady in the back, "Ouch, who hit me?" She looked back and scolded: "Which little rabbit cub hit me?"
Lin Jingguo was about to speak, but was stopped by Lin Ying, "Don't pay attention to her, wait for my sister-in-law to give birth to a baby and then settle accounts with her." ”
Zhang Zhi gave a thumbs up to Jingguo: "Good job." ”
The eldest cousin came out of the house, called Zhang Zhi aside, and said with some embarrassment: "There is no fine grain at home, can you lend me some, millet seeds, white flour rice, wait for Xinmei to give birth to me, I will buy it and return it to you when I have time." ”
Zhang Zhiyi said strangely when he heard it: "Didn't you find someone to buy fine grain a few days ago and said that you want to keep it for your daughter-in-law for confinement?"
"I don't think it's a few months before she is born, and the old lady has come and looted it. "Otherwise, they wouldn't be forced to move out, so they wanted to avoid it.
Zhang Zhi scratched his head, "There are no fine grains such as white flour rice, only cornmeal, this can't work, right?
The eldest cousin sighed, "I have asked all the neighbors nearby, at this time, no one has any fine grain, alas, it is all my fault, at that time, I had to drive people out with all my heart, and I just didn't let them take that little grain away." ”
It was also to blame that he was soft-hearted at the time, the old lady said that she wanted to eat a mouthful of fine food when she was sick, otherwise she would not be able to close her eyes when she died, and he thought that he would find a way to get it in a few months.
He should not be soft-hearted.
Lin Ying and Li Yifeng glanced at each other, but they didn't say anything, Lin Jingguo was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, "What should I do? Auntie's family is not as good as ours, what does it matter that our family still has white noodles." ”
Lin Ying kicked him lightly, "Don't scream, you want people to listen to it." ”
The eldest cousin went back to boil a bowl of millet porridge for his daughter-in-law first, and then went out and borrowed half a bowl of millet seeds from somewhere.
The eldest aunt said to him: "Don't worry, it's really not good, I'll go to the black market tomorrow morning." ”
Now the black market is strictly controlled, unlike last year, no one dares to go there until the last resort, and it is not sure when they will be caught.
Don't let his father go to this, the eldest cousin can't say it, why does the daughter-in-law have to eat a few meals of fine grains for confinement, or the child will have no milk.
"I'd better go. I'm younger than you, Dad, and I move fast, even if people run into me. ”
Lin Ying had been thinking in her mind before that a few of them were going, but now seeing that the two of them were fighting over who to go, she immediately said: "Auntie, eldest brother, none of you need to go, it is most suitable for me and Yifeng to go." ”
The eldest cousin was very moved, but he still shook his head, "Erying, you don't know, this year is strictly arrested, maybe when you can run into a picket to arrest people." ”
"That's why it's the best place for us to go. Besides," she pointed to her little face very confidently, "Big brother, aunt, do you think I look like a person who is short of food?"
Her little face was white and red, very pink and shiny, and no one believed her to say that she was starving.
The eldest cousin sighed: "It's really strange, you look at this little face, like the capitalist lady in the city in the past, like a big apple and rare death." The water and soil in this county are to raise people. ”
Raise a fart man.
The eldest sister-in-law said in his heart: It must be that the living conditions of the sister-in-law's family are good.
However, he has a lot of children, and he used to be inferior to his own, so it seems that this family's small land is not less open. This kind of county is good for farming in the countryside, which is like the city, even if you are now encouraged to grow vegetables personally, there is no place.
This topic is crooked, and after saying for a long time, Jingguo and Erying are now white and good-looking, and when Erying and Jinghe came, they were not like this before.
Until Lin Ying forcibly broke the building back, "It's decided, our children have the advantage of children, no one would think of us going to the black market, naturally no one will doubt us." Again, Yifeng and I are used to running in the mountains, if we really want to be targeted, we won't run faster than you, the key is that we won't be recognized after we run, you locals can't, in case you recognize it, the unit will be punished. ”
She was telling the truth, and she had been there once, not to mention that she knew the way well, at least she knew how to exchange food.
The eldest aunt thought for a while, "Then it's going to trouble you children, but you must focus on your own safety, if something happens to you, we can't explain it to your parents." Your aunt has to scold me and your eldest brother to death. ”
Lin Ying smiled: "Auntie, don't worry about me." I've had experience. ”
Lin Jingguo was anxious, "I'm going too, why do you keep talking about you and Yifeng?"
Lin Ying said to him: "We have been there once, if there is really something to know, we know where to run." You better not go, in case you get caught, it's still a problem. ”
Jing Guo glared at her angrily, "No, I have to go, I have to go." I won't get caught. ”
Li Yifeng came up with an idea: "Let Jingguo wait for us a few streets away with a bicycle tomorrow." If you really want to change the food, it is better to come back by bicycle. ”
Jingguo was not very satisfied, he wanted to go to the black market to exchange food, he hadn't been, he wanted to see it......
However, the eldest aunt and the eldest cousin both said that this method was good, and he hung his head and sighed, "Okay, I'm just a backup." ”
Just after discussing here, there was finally movement on the eldest cousin's side.
With the vigorous cry of a big cousin and the weak cry of the baby, the child was finally born.
The eldest cousin rushed out in a few steps, "It's born, Xinmei, are you okay?" Mom, how is the child?"
Everyone followed to the courtyard, and heard the aunt's laughing voice coming from the house, "Don't worry, it's all right." ”
The eldest cousin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "Great, Xinmei, you're tired, I've made you porridge, you can drink some later......"
The aunt interrupted him in the house: "Xinmei is tired and let her sleep for a while, you hurry up and warm the house for a while, your grandmother Xia is leaving, send her ......"
The eldest cousin hurriedly agreed, rubbed his hands and looked back at Jingguo, "Help my brother take some more firewood." ”
Jingguo responded happily, and Li Yifeng also said: "I'll go too." ”
Lin Ying reminded the eldest cousin in a low voice, "Do you need to give that Grandma Xia money or anything?"
The eldest cousin touched the bottom of her head, "Erying is really a little adult, there are a lot of things to worry about, don't worry, your aunt is ready." ”
After sending Grandma Xia away, the eldest cousin came back and remembered a question: "Mom, boy or girl?"
The aunt smiled: "It's a girl, she looks like you were a child, and she is beautiful." ”
The eldest cousin smiled and said, "The girl is good, the girl is caring, I like the girl." ”
Lin Ying couldn't help but pout when she saw the stupid appearance of her eldest cousin, and the eldest cousin saw the two cheeks that reached out to pinch her, "Little girl, what are you pouting?"
She stretched out her hand and patted it away, and said in disgust: "Big brother, you should look in the mirror and look at yourself, and smile like a fool." ”
