Lin Ying showed the jade bracelet to Wang Huiyan as if it were a treasure.

Wang Huiyan also can't put it down, in her previous life, she only had a bracelet of a few thousand yuan, like this kind of bracelet, she has only seen it a few times at the counter.

She played with it for a while and put away the jade bracelet, "I will give it to you as a dowry in the future, and you can give it to your children in the future." ”

"No, in another twenty years, mom, you'll be able to wear it. ”

Wang Huiyan smiled and said: "Silly child! Mom was in her fifties at that time, do you think this fifty-over is the same as ours back then? That old lady has already become an old lady, and she still needs to wear this thing? Besides, I want to wear it, and it will be unclear what this belongs in the future." Now it's not just you, you have several older sisters and younger brothers!"

Lin Ying had to say that Lin Xianliang came in from outside, and he went up the mountain again in the afternoon, but this time he didn't go to pick firewood, but to pick some mushrooms.

"There will be no mountain harvest this year. Lin Xianliang showed Wang Huiyan the basket, "I didn't have anything to do, and I got two thick pieces of wood back." ”

There are not many mushrooms, because it hasn't rained for a while, and it's still dry, but there are too few.

And there are all kinds of mushrooms.

Without oil and meat, this thing is not as good as fish soup!

Lin Ying thought to herself.

Because Lin Xianliang came back, Lin Ying and her mother stopped talking about jade bracelets.

Wang Huiyan hid the jade bracelet, as the hostess in charge of the stall at home, it was no problem to hide a small thing.

Stealing chickens and touching dogs...... Ahem, no, it's that the days of fun always go by very quickly.

Digging wild vegetables in the morning, then fishing, digging wild vegetables in the afternoon, and then playing war with a group of wild boys, Lin Ying quickly became famous in the village.

Not a bad reputation, of course. No matter how vicious a person is, it is impossible to say anything vicious to an eight-year-old girl.

It's not a good reputation. It's nothing more than "that girl in the old Lin family is wild, and she fights with those boys all day long, like a tomboy" and something like that.

What followed was Lin Miao's good reputation, and the worse Lin Ying became, the more Lin Miao seemed to be sensible and capable.

It's a pity that she is a city hukou and will definitely not marry into the countryside, otherwise, she can ponder for the children in the family.

Wang Huiyan nodded Lin Ying's head when she listened, "Can you be like a lady." Even if it's like your eldest sister, is it okay? It's nice to be a tomboy?"

Lin Ying didn't care, "Why should I be like a lady? I'm not a lady in the first place." Also, like my eldest sister, how tired you are! I don't want it!"

Wang Huiyan thinks about it, she would rather her daughter be happy and happy for a lifetime than work so hard for a lifetime.

"Forget it, I don't care about you, anyway, you're still young, and you can play for a few more years. "When I'm older, it's impossible to play like this.

Lin Ying intensified, playing more crazy and running farther, and there was no place she had been in this area.

Of course, the days of fun passed quickly, but the fly in the ointment was that the space she imagined did not come out, and she couldn't feel where the jade wrench had gone, which made her happy in vain.

......

After Wang Huiyan gave birth to a fourth child, she spent a month in the house for a month, and she couldn't stay in the house anymore. She took care of all the work at home, tidying up the house, cooking, sewing clothes, feeding the chickens, sweeping the yard, anyway, she no longer let Da Miao get involved in the work at home.

To be honest, if it weren't for Shadowbao's repeated requests to her, she would have to do it for the whole month. It's a little embarrassing for her to be served like this by an underage girl.

And she is also for the future, after all, she can't just work like the original owner without asking for anything in return, and her change will start as a confinement.

In those days, most women, especially those in rural areas, started working in the fields after only three days of confinement.

Wang Huiyan is not a rural person, but she grew up in the countryside, and later lived in the countryside with her parents-in-law, and many habits are based on the countryside.

She took over the work of the family, but Lin Miao couldn't be idle, so she immediately went up the mountain with her father and eldest brother to collect firewood. When they went to work and school, she went to the hill to pick it up by herself. If the heavy ones can't be dragged, they pick up the twigs and bundle them back on their backs.

Lin Xianliang sent Lin Jingguo and Erying back to the parents' house of the Red Star Brigade as early as two days ago.

And he stayed at home with his eldest son Jinghe and Da Miao, collecting firewood and autumn, and there were many things to be busy at home.

Lin Jingguo and Lin Ying were not idle.

In the first few days after I came back, I went to a few uncles' houses and went to the second uncle's house.

The second uncle is the captain of the Red Star Brigade, and the second aunt has a good relationship with Wang Huiyan, leaving the two to have a meal at home. The flatbread is salted fish and potato soup.

This meal is not bad, but Lin Jingguo eats quite civilized, and he is not rushing to eat like before, so the second aunt smiled and said: "Look, it is different in the county, just like the children in the city." ”

But the two of them drank a lot of potato soup.

It's really a new move this year, there is no vegetables to eat at home, and there is a lack of vegetables in the grocery store, so I have to keep eating wild vegetables. Wild vegetables are also dug for storage and eaten in the winter.

If I didn't come back and had something to do, a few uncles' families would be able to eat from house to house.

The production team harvested in autumn, and the children in the village were following to pick up the autumn, picking up soybean pods and ears of wheat that fell on the ground.

The two little brothers and sisters, plus Sister Lin Tian of the second uncle's family, and Lin Shui, who was the same age as Lin Ying, together with these people, went to the ditch one by one to pick up the soybean pods that fell in the ground.

Lin Ying thought it was very interesting at first, but then she felt tired at the end of the day, and when she muttered at night, the old lady said to her: "Kai is what makes my mother accustomed to it, where does the waist of the child's family come from?"

Lin Ying was quite unconvinced, and touched the circle next to her stomach, isn't this what a waist is?

However, although it is a little tiring, the results are also very gratifying.

Lin Ying and Lin Jingguo picked up half of the ones they picked up and gave them to their grandfather's family, and the rest could be taken back to their homes.

The two of them were full of energy in order to eat oil and noodles, and after a few days, there were more than a dozen catties of soybeans alone.

That's at least a third more than the sisters.

There are also ears of wheat, after picking them up, the old lady burned wheat grains for the two in front of the stove, Lin Ying squinted her eyes when she ate it, and the smile on her face was very warm and happy.

The old lady and the old man muttered, "Erying was not so sensible before, but now this child is still quite rare." She also talked about her two daughters: "I said that all the children of the family should come to collect autumn, but no one came, and it seems that there is no shortage of food." ”

The old man weaved a basket of soil in his hand, and said without raising his head: "Their two families have few children, and they are both dual-income workers, unlike the third family, one person earns money, and eats with seven or eight mouths." ”

The soybean fields and wheat fields of the production team were raked back and forth by these children several times, until they could no longer find a soybean pod, an ear of wheat, or a single soybean grain.

The potatoes have already been opened, and they are idle anyway, Lin Jinghe discussed with his sister, ran to the potato field for two days, and picked up half a bag of potatoes that were cut into half and half by the pickaxe, or small potato cubs.

It's all not wanted by the production team.

This is not uncommon for the children in the village, who have not yet realized that life will be difficult for several years since this winter......
