Chapter 12: Hard to Swallow
Lin Ying had never eaten anything so unpalatable.
Obviously in the morning, she also ate a bowl of wild vegetable corn paste porridge, but now, with the same bowl of porridge, she felt that the rough wild vegetables were bitter and astringent, making it difficult to swallow.
The porridge couldn't be eaten, so she had to gnaw on the nest head mixed with cornmeal and wild vegetables, the nest head was dry, and the slag fell straight after biting, and it was so thick that it was straight to the throat.
Tears came out of her choked eye sockets, so she had to scoop a bowl of cold water and go down to the nest.
Except for the mother and the baby, the rest of the family drinks cold water, not even hot water. Because it costs a lot of firewood to boil hot water, after the power plant is moved, only those who have children at home will go to pick up coal cores in the morning to save coal and firewood.
Since their family moved into the county, they also went to pick up coal cores every day, and the two brothers started to do these jobs in Dongfanghong, but they were very skilled, but she didn't go home last night, and the family was messy all night, and she got up late in the morning, and it was not enough to pick up coal cores.
"Look at your delicate way!" The second brother Lin Jingguo couldn't look down on her like that, so he pointed to the bowl of porridge and asked her, "Do you want to eat it?"
Lin Ying didn't know like a child, she was choking so uncomfortable that she couldn't speak, so she nodded, and Lin Jingguo took the porridge away and ate it.
Lin Miao came out of the back room and looked at his head, "You ate Erying's porridge, can she eat enough?"
"She doesn't eat it herself. You didn't look at her delicate appearance!" Lin Jingguo didn't raise his head, and continued to snoring and eating, "By the way, sister, my eldest brother and I have to go to class in the afternoon, and the class has been delayed for a morning." ”
"Go, I'm at home!" Lin Miao said, watching Lin Ying chew and eat the nest slowly one bite at a time, and reached out to touch her forehead, "It's weird, Erying didn't come back this night, and he became sensible as soon as he came back." ”
Lin Jingguo snorted: "Yes, seeing that our mother almost had an accident because of her, can you be ignorant?"
Lin Xianliang seemed to have just heard it: "Second brother, don't say that about your sister." ”
Lin Jingguo snorted and stopped squeaking.
Lin Miao discussed with her father, "Dad, Erying said to let my mother sit for a month, I used to ......" She vaguely didn't know what to say, but the following words were clear, "I think it's right, my mother is very dangerous this time, and she has to take care of it." What do you say?"
Seeing her talking like a little adult, Lin Ying felt that she couldn't compare with others. This little girl is only fourteen years old, but she can do it better than a twenty-year-old adult!
Lin Ying felt like a waste this morning.
I don't know anything, I don't know anything, and now I can't even eat.
But...... She put down the nest head in advance and stared at Lin Xianliang tightly, his attitude directly decided, how will she and her mother live in the future?
Although she didn't discuss it with her mother, she still had a lot of complicated feelings about her father and mother's husband who suddenly appeared, with a little expectation and rejection. She felt that the expectation must have been influenced by the memory of the original owner, for the original owner, her father's death was like the sky falling, and she felt that the father who could make his children and wives so dependent must be a good father!
But she understands that her mother must be resistant to a stranger she doesn't know becoming her husband.
Therefore, what is Lin Xianliang's personality? His attitude towards his family, his wife and children may determine their future.
Lin Xianliang agreed without thinking about it at all, "It's time to sit for a good month." Now that you are all older, you can help your mother share the burden, and let your mother take good care of your body. ”
After he finished speaking, he scratched his head again, "Your second aunt will come over in the afternoon, let's talk about moving." And food," he said, looking at his two sons, "you don't go to class in the afternoon, but take two days off and take care of the family." Jinghe, you will take the car back in the afternoon, and ask your grandmother for millet seeds, and the millet seeds given by your sister-in-law can last for a day and a half, so what are you doing. And the second son, you go to the grocery store next to each other, what can you buy?"
Lin Ying felt in her heart that this person was not so ignorant of human accidents, it seemed that he had been in charge of the shopkeeper for a long time. Now he is the backbone of the family, and several children are staring at him!
She hurriedly added: "It's best to have hens or pig's trotters or the like, and give my mother more nutritious food, fish soup is fine, that's good for the body." ”
She can't do it, but she can eat it, and she's well-informed!
Lin Jingguo looked at her with that kind of idiot-like gaze, and finally knew that this was not for himself, but because he cared about his mother, he proposed it, and he didn't say anything sarcastic.
Lin Xianliang was very worried when he heard it, "Erying is right, go and take a look, buy whatever you have." I'll talk to your second aunt again, see if there are any people nearby who have these, let's exchange them with others and buy them, and we have to let your mother have a good confinement. ”
Lin Xianliang didn't know if he had finished eating, or if he was so worried that he didn't have the heart to eat, so he went into the house to see the child.
Lin Ying looked at the nest head that was still half left in her hand, took a deep breath, and ate the nest head like a few children, but the thick cornmeal of the dead noodles was really quite bad, she was choked and coughed, Lin Miao hurriedly patted her on the back, and complained to her: "Look at you, you can still choke on a meal, don't be careful." I just praised you for being sensible......"
She didn't want to, she used to love to eat wotou, soft wotou, and the pickles in it didn't choke at all, why is this different from that?
After eating, when she entered the house, she found that Lin Xianliang was muttering something in his mouth, while Wang Huiyan closed her eyes as if she was asleep.
"Erying, where did you go last night?"
Lin Ying repeated the words of the morning.
Lin Xianliang touched her head and said to her: "You can't run around in the future, what should I do if I get lost again?" and praised Li Jia's sister and brother, "It's really two good children, Dad buys some candy, and when your mother is out of confinement, let your sister take you over, and put a few pieces of candy to thank the young lady and brother." ”
Lin Guizhi came and called him out, Lin Ying quietly called her mother, "Wake up, he's gone, don't pretend to be asleep." ”
Wang Huiyan opened her eyes and smiled bitterly at her daughter: "Is Mom doing it so obviously?"
She shook her head vigorously, "It's not obvious, I guessed it." She told her mother what everyone said at lunchtime, glared at her eyes and whispered, "You heard what he said just now, didn't you?" Of course, whether he can become my father and my sister's husband remains to be seen, but at least it's not bad!"
Wang Huiyan said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful to let them hear!" and pondered again, "It seems that your second aunt can help find the house, this is about to move." ”
She also warned her daughter: "How will I live in the future? Let me observe and think about it this month." Shadow Treasure, be careful, don't talk nonsense, don't be impulsive when you encounter something, this era is different from our time, talking nonsense, ignoring things in trouble, being impulsive, and being nosy, all of them will cause big things!"
