Chapter 6: Unexpected News

Walking to the door of the Zhiqing Point, a figure jumped out, and Chu Sheng stood in front of Lin Xi, with his hands behind his back, looking at Lin Xi with flickering eyes. Lin Xi looked him up and down, this time his little face was wiped clean, and the clothes on his body had changed, but it was still small, revealing a section of his foot and neck, and the injury on his ankle had subsided, it seemed that the child had been doing well these days.

Lin Xi asked him, "What's the matter, is there something wrong with me?" Chu Sheng took out a hand that was behind his back, it was Lin Xi's kettle. Lin Xi motioned for him to put the kettle into the bucket, and the little boy showed his other hand, holding two corn cobs in his hands.

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where did this come from?" Chu Sheng's originally happy little face dimmed: "You don't care, give it to you, you can take it." With that, he put the kettle in the bucket, turned around and ran. Lin Xi called him a few times, but he still ran away without looking back.

Lin Xi shook his head and went back to the house. The kettle had been cleaned, Lin Xi took out the fine noodles brought by the family, ruthlessly, and made them all into oil cakes, the crispy oil cakes were mixed with the fragrance of green onions, and people drooled. Lin Xi ate one, took three and put them in a lunch box, and hid the rest in the storage space. The two corn cobs were cooked and stored in storage.

Lin Xi carried a basket and walked towards Shuangping Mountain, she wanted to find Chu Sheng. Luck was good, Chu Sheng was really sitting in the broken grass house. Seeing Lin Xi coming, he was startled and immediately stood up. Lin Xi walked over with a smile and asked softly, "What did you eat at noon?" Chu Sheng pursed his lips, his gaze swept to the corn cob he had eaten, and he kicked the cob with his foot, trying to cover up the "incriminating evidence".

Lin Xi didn't say anything, opened the cloth on the basket, revealing a lunch box, and in the lunch box was a freshly made oil cake. Lin Xi stuffed the lunch box into Chu Sheng's hand, Chu Sheng felt the temperature transmitted by the lunch box, and for a while, he felt that his heart was also warm. Unable to stand the smell of food, Chu Sheng ate three oil cakes in a row, and his stomach was bulging. Wiping his greasy mouth, Chu Sheng finally spoke. "I picked the corn on the cob secretly and no one found out. ”

Lin Xi was still smiling: "There is nothing to eat at home, this kind of behavior is not good after all, right?" Chu Sheng raised his head, looked directly into Lin Xi's eyes, and asked, "If you are dying of hunger, will you go to steal something to eat?" Lin Xi said. The ancients said: Death by starvation is a small matter, but loss of temperance is a big matter. But in the time of life and death, it is the truth to be able to live.

Lin Xi paused, and said softly again: "Guan Zhong said: 'Cang Liao is honest and knows etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you know honor and disgrace', I don't think your behavior is wrong. But don't do that in the future, in case you get caught, you will have a stain on your whole life, for a few corn cobs, it's not worth it. "It's not that you're wrong, it's that it's not worth it. There was no reprimand, no ridicule, but thoughtfully analyzed things from his point of view, Lin Xi's words were like a stone, smashing Chu Sheng's frozen heart, and there was liquid in the child's eyes that was about to roll down, he stubbornly turned his head sideways, blinked his eyes, and forcibly put back his tears.

Lin Xi picked up the dusty corn cob on the ground and put it in the basket. Chu Sheng didn't understand Lin Xi's behavior. Lin Xi winked at him, a little mischievous, and said, "I'll go destroy the corpse." ”

Lin Xi's ears heard the voice of the system again: "Congratulations, complete the stage task - get Chu Sheng's favor, the completion rate is 15%, get 15 system reward gold coins, unlock the system mall, the system needs to be updated, please wait." ”

Lin Xi let out a long breath, waiting for the update was really long. When you arrive at the Zhiqing point, close the door of the house, and the system prompts: The update is complete. Lin Xi stretched out his right hand, and the screen appeared again, this time the screen appeared on the shelves, and there were boxes on each shelf, densely arranged. The box is marked with the name of the goods and the amount of gold coins required.

After reading the goods, Lin Xi felt that he had been thoroughly doused with a basin of cold water. The vast majority of the patterns are gray, which means you can't buy them yourself. Lin Xi looked at the items that could be bought: buns, flower rolls, towels, toothbrushes, etc., which were basically daily necessities, there were about twelve items that could be purchased, and then looked at the number of gold coins needed, two buns needed a gold coin, one flower roll needed a gold coin, one towel needed two gold coins, and a tube of toothpaste needed three gold coins....... Lin Xi gritted his teeth and said to the system: "You, how, what, no, go, rob?"

The gold coins I saved can't buy much of anything, which is too sad. The system is still calm: "You can choose not to buy. Lin Xi: "......"

Lin Xi was so angry that he didn't want to talk to the system anymore, and the system was silently closed.

In order to unlock the mall as soon as possible, she even used the white flour and oil that she was reluctant to use, and she was overjoyed. Lin Xi was silently angry for a long time, and since he chose the system, he seemed to have fallen into a pit. At this time, Lin Xi didn't know that this was just the beginning, and a series of things after that would allow her to fully understand how pitty this system was.

The recovered grain needed to be dried, and the village barn was full, and Lin Xi was arranged to work - to guard the barnyard. This is Lin Xi's first time at work, the work is not difficult, as long as you take care of the food, don't be pecked by birds, don't be stolen. Although the centimeter is low, it is an entry anyway, and Lin Xile went upside down.

The sun dries the moisture in the grain, and the body of the person who shines on it is also warm. Lin Xi squinted his eyes and looked at the blue sky, a few white clouds moved slowly, which was refreshing, it was really pleasant!

There are still a few old people in the barnyard, most of them have poor physical strength, and they can no longer do heavy work, so they are arranged to do some light work. Lin Xi was unfamiliar with them, sat on the sidelines, and listened to their chatter. Lin Xizheng listened interestingly. In the distance came a woman, walking very fast, holding a child in her hand, the child was sobbing quietly, and from time to time she staggered, barely following the woman's steps to get closer.

The woman came to an old man, pushed the child forward, and said angrily, "Dad, look, your grandson's hands are worn out." In the past few days, we have been busy with the farm, and we are doing all the work in the fields, and no one has taken care of the children. What do you say, what should I do? The eldest brother's family doesn't care about anything, and we will take care of everything together, so there's no reason for this matter anywhere, right?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on the woman, and an old man took the child's hand and whispered: "What's the matter? Bao'er, let grandpa see, what's the injury?"

The woman kept a straight face and continued: "In addition to the hands, there are also legs, you can take a look, let the big guys also take a look, old man, you can give a word, what is going on here? There is no explanation today, I will not work anymore, I will go home to see the children tomorrow." ”

It is a matter of other people's housework, and others can only persuade it. "Ergen's family, don't be angry, hurry up and go to the health room to have a look, and put some medicine on the child. "Jin Cui! This is a little bit of broken skin, just apply medicine for a few days, let the child rest here for a while, and when it's time to eat, let your father send it back." Ergen's daughter-in-law's name is Jin Cui, and when she heard this, she didn't answer at all, and shouted with a star: "Dad, now we are in charge of your old food, if you are more eccentric, you can't say it." There was an obvious coercion in Jin Cui's words, and Third Uncle Chu just pretended not to hear it.

Everyone turned their attention to the old man again, but the old man just touched his grandson's hand lovingly and did not speak. "Third uncle, why don't you take your grandson back first, we'll watch here. Anyway, it's almost time to get off work. Someone came out to play a round, Jin Cui was not happy, this was not the purpose of her coming, she continued: "Dad, the work in the field still has to be done for several days, this child is not watched by anyone, Uncle is going to work, I won't say anything, isn't Chu Sheng idle? He is so old, let him watch a child and cook, it's no problem." You see, such a big child in our village can help the family work, only he, who runs every day without even seeing a figure, playing blindly all day long, doing nothing, and raising a young master in the family! ”

As soon as he heard Chu Sheng's name, Lin Xi's sleepy insect was driven away. Third Uncle Chu didn't answer, took Bao'er's hand, his old face was full of kindness, and said to Bao'er: "Let's go home with grandpa first!"

Even if Jin Cui was angry, she couldn't help it, she followed behind the third uncle, muttering endlessly.

When the people left, the threshing field became lively, and everyone talked about what had just happened. "This Jin Cui family is really good at talking, when the old lady was alive, the old couple lived by themselves, that is, the old lady left, and the third uncle followed the Ergen family. It's only been a few days, and in her mouth, it seems that she has taken care of the old man for many years. The other said: "This Jin Cui is not as good as the big root family, the old couple used to live with the big root, and the life is more comfortable than now, if it weren't for the big root daughter-in-law running away, the family would not be noisy The home is not like home." It's also pitiful. ”

Someone else muttered: "Isn't Jin Cui just squeezing the Dagen family, they have already split up, and they still ask their nephews to work, it's really shameless." Just Xiaobao's little injury, scratched a little skin, what's the matter. ”

"Splitting up is a thing of the past, but now it's not mixed up again, no matter how bad Chu Dagen is, it's always okay to support himself, Chu Sheng is no one to take care of, and he can still count on his nephew to do some work, how cost-effective." Bao'er is a seven-year-old doll, and she has to be taken care of, and now at this time, such a big doll is helping in the field, and their family is expensive. ”

"It's not because the third uncle's family is such a lone seedling, otherwise, Jin Cui can be so bullish. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, isn't there still Chu Sheng? That's the eldest grandson of the Chu family. Someone retorted.

"Phew, what do you know, I've heard, Chu Sheng is not their Chu family's species, look at this child, is it similar to the Chu family's growth? It is not like Dagen's daughter-in-law, otherwise why does Dagen always beat his daughter-in-law, and his daughter-in-law secretly ran away with someone. ”
