Lin Xi didn't expect Han Meifang to be able to do this, but it hasn't been a few days since the grain was distributed, what is she doing? Lin Xi asked: "Are you going to keep messing around like this?" Speaking of this, Yuan He was a little helpless: "There have been before, but it was all before the summer grain was harvested, the time was short, and everyone made do, I don't know what is going on this time, I will go back and inquire again." Lin Xi also wanted to ask, Chu Sheng was back, the little guy was out of breath, Lin Xi complained a little and said: "Tofu is not in a hurry to get out of the pot, why are you running so fast? Go drink some hot water and warm up." ”

Chu Sheng put the pot down, slowed his breath and said, "It's not cold, my sister wants to cook, I'll help you light the fire." Chu Sheng glanced at Yuan He, who was sitting on the fire. Yuan He smiled at him, but he didn't mean to give way. Lin Xi saw that Chu Sheng's shoes were a little wet, and he was afraid that he would freeze, so he urged him: "Go back to the house and change your shoes and take a rest." Chu Sheng wanted to continue, but Lin Xi nudged him: "Hurry up and change it, so as not to get frostbite." Go and share the sweet potatoes you just roasted with everyone. Only then did Chu Sheng turn around and leave.

Watching Chu Sheng leave, Yuan He continued: "This kid is quite clingy to you. Lin Xi smiled: "He is also pitiful, and he has no relatives here." Yuan He turned the wooden stick in his hand, smiled and quipped: "Is this kid treating you as a mother?" Lin Xi was amused, thinking about this child's stickiness, it is estimated that there is really this possibility, but he can't give birth to such a big son. Yuan He looked at Lin Xi with a calm look and smiled.

The meal was on the table, and there were many people today, and everyone huddled together and barely sat down. Lin Xi distributed fish soup to everyone, a bowl of fish soup was served, and the educated youth Sun Yi let out a long sigh: "Lin Zhiqing, the craftsmanship is good, this has caught up with my mother's level." "Sun Yi is a southerner, he likes to eat fish and shrimp, and it is rare to eat fish here, and this time he is satisfied. Lin Xi arched his hand at him and said, "Thank you for the compliment, in order to better improve my cooking skills, you go and catch more fish, so that I have the opportunity to practice." Everyone laughed, Chu Sheng looked at Lin Xi and laughed with everyone, lowered his head to eat, and stopped talking. Lin Xi put a piece of fish meat in his bowl, Chu Sheng glanced up at Lin Xi, and finally smiled.

Speaking of fish, everyone started the conversation. The Jing River has frozen, and the educated youths can catch fish by digging a hole in the ice of the Jing River, but of course they will not succeed every time. Today, everyone froze on the ice for hours to get one. The taste of the fish is really good, much stronger than what the system provides, Lin Xi was originally a little excited, but later knew that it was so hard, and immediately dismissed his idea. Chu Sheng's eyes flashed on the side, and he didn't say much.

After the meal, Yuan He and a group of educated youths returned to the educated youth point, Wang Yuan and Yuan He fell behind, and asked Yuan He quietly: "Didn't Lin Zhiqing reject you last time? Wang Yuan showed a knowing smile, he also felt that Lin Zhiqing was very good, it was a pity to give up like this.

These days, it is cold, and Lin Xi asks Chu Sheng to stay at home more and go out less. Chu Sheng was also obedient and nested with Lin Xi. Lin Xi was reading a book, Chu Sheng was doing math problems on the side, Lin Xi felt that this kid was quite receptive, and now Lin Xi taught him according to the content of the textbook every day, Chu Sheng learned very quickly. Lin Xi also found some difficult questions for him with the help of the system, and Chu Sheng was also willing to do it. After cooking, you can eat, and such a day is comfortable and comfortable.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the small courtyard, and Chu Sheng put down his pen and ran to open the door. The person standing at the door was Han Meifang. Lin Xi felt very surprised, since Lin Xi left the Educated Youth Point, she and Han Meifang have never met again, last time Lin Xi was injured, many people came to visit her, Han Meifang never showed her face, why did she come back?

Han Meifang was a little embarrassed when she saw Lin Xi, she rubbed her hands that were red from cold and said, "Lin Xi, I haven't seen you for a few days, I heard that you were injured last time, are you better now?"

Lin Xi looked at her appearance and guessed that there must be something wrong today, so she asked Han Meifang to sit down and roast the fire first, and then asked, "Sister Han, sit down first, do you want to drink water?" "No, it's not troublesome." Han Meifang seemed quite restrained today, and Lin Xi had a bad premonition in her heart. Sure enough, Han Meifang continued: "I came today to ask for your help." Lin Xi looked at her and waited for her to continue. Han Meifang was entangled for a while, but still spoke: "I want to borrow some food from you." When Lin Xi heard this, his face was a little unsightly: "Sister Han, I haven't received centimeters until now, and the food I eat is all subsidized grain, you also know, those grains are tight for one person to eat, Chu Sheng is not centimeters yet, and the two of them have not enough food to eat, and you still come to ask me to borrow food?"

Han Meifang didn't expect Lin Xi to be unwilling to borrow it, she felt that Lin Xi could raise Chu Sheng, and raised Chu Sheng so well, there would definitely be no shortage of food. She was also a little unhappy in her heart, but she still patiently explained to Lin Xi: "Something happened to my family, and I sent back some of my grain before, so I thought that I would dig more wild vegetables and deal with it, but I didn't expect it to rain continuously before, and I couldn't go up the mountain, so I didn't dig up wild vegetables." So there's not enough to eat at this point. Lin Xi thought about it, it was only a month since the autumn grain was distributed, and her food was not enough to eat, and she had to stay up until the summer harvest, how would she spend the days after that? Lin Xi hesitated for a while and said: "Sister Han, I don't have enough food here, the people in the village came to see me before, and I sent some things scattered, if you don't dislike it, I'll bring you some sweet potatoes, and I won't have more, okay?" Han Meifang listened, with a little more smile on her face, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll pay you back when I receive the grain." ”

Lin Xi asked Chu Sheng to get a bag of sweet potatoes for Han Meifang. Chu Sheng made a straight face, went to the warehouse, and after a while, came back with a bag. When Han Meifang saw it, the smile on her face faded a little, she originally thought that she could give at least one bag, but it turned out that Chu Sheng was really carrying a bag, but this bag was also a little smaller, no more than ten catties at most. Chu Sheng put the bag in front of Han Meifang, Han Meifang glanced at Chu Sheng, Chu Sheng didn't look at her, Han Meifang barely squeezed a smile, thanked Lin Xi, and left with sweet potatoes, but muttered in her heart: Lin Xi is really, I'd rather raise an outsider who has nothing to do with than help herself, she pulled down her face and asked her to borrow food, and she also buckled the rope.

Lin Xi waited for Han Meifang to leave, poked Chu Sheng's head with his finger and said, "Why are you so stingy, is there ten catties in that bag?" Chu Sheng pouted and muttered: "It's almost enough." Sister, she treats you badly, why should you lend it to her? Sister is soft-hearted, if it were me, she wouldn't give any of them. ”

Lin Xi shook his head and pointed at him: "To be honest, I don't want to give it either, but we are all educated youths, so we can't watch her hungry." If it spreads, people will say that I am stingy, and borrowing less is also borrowing, and no one can gossip. Chu Sheng nodded, still a little disappreciative in his heart, it is better to let people gossip than to make themselves hungry, and it is better to say that my sister is good-hearted.

Lin Xi also felt strange why Han Meifang's food was not enough to eat, she was a hard-working person, and she earned a lot of centimeters. Later, Lin Xi heard Liu Xia complain to her, Han Meifang's family is poor, and there has been not enough food to eat, Han Meifang is the eldest in the family, and she wants to help her family and send food to her home every year. The old lady is sick at home, and she sends too much food, so she is not enough. Besides, she is going back to her hometown to visit relatives this year, so naturally she will go back with her things. Now she takes out a little bit of food every day and eats it with everyone, so that everyone is subsidizing her in disguise. This is where Liu Xia has always been unaccustomed to Han Meifang. You have to take care of your family, and others have nothing to say, but you take advantage of the big guy, and everyone will naturally have opinions. During this time, for this matter, the atmosphere of the educated youth point became more and more tense.

At this point, Lin Xi admires Han Meifang, she can't take care of herself, and she has to work hard to take care of her family. In terms of taking care of his family, Lin Xi is not as good as Han Meifang. After Lin Xi received the letter, he wrote a reply to his aunt, sending some mushrooms and pickles from the mountain. As for his parents, Lin Xi sent five yuan back as a congratulatory gift for the eldest sister's marriage. After that, Lin Xi never received a letter from home.

Entering the wax moon, the days seem to be passing faster and faster, every household is looking forward to the New Year, the hard-working farmers for this grand festival, but also in order to comfort the year's hard work, the hands are naturally loose, everyone goes out to purchase New Year's goods, and the tractor at the entrance of the village runs out every day.

Lin Xi pondered that the family was going to prepare New Year's goods, and the money on hand was running out, so Lin Xi wanted to save some money, this time she planned to buy something from the system mall and make it herself. Chu Sheng looked very excited, this was the first time he was looking forward to the New Year. Lin Xi had a piece of paper in front of him, holding a pen to write and draw, Chu Sheng came up with an idea from time to time, and after a while, there were a lot of items that needed to be prepared on the paper. Counting the items that needed to be prepared, Lin Xi suddenly asked Chu Sheng: "What else is in the warehouse, is there enough food to eat? Do we want to make some pickles?" Chu Sheng just wanted to support his forehead when he heard this, this sister is really big-hearted, and now she thinks of pickles, and she doesn't even have a pickle jar at home, how can she pickle vegetables? Lin Xi didn't think of preparing anything in advance because he had the backing of the system. She also has no experience in rural life, so naturally she thinks of one play and one play.

Chu Sheng could only give Lin Xi an idea: "Sister, there are only two people in our family, don't prepare a lot of things, just change a little with the people in the village for any shortcomings, and the sister of the province is busy." Lin Xi felt that it made sense, patted Chu Sheng on the shoulder and said, "Okay, then we will save trouble." ”

At this moment, Tang Shu came to find Chu Sheng, the two muttered mysteriously for a while, Chu Sheng and Lin Xi said hello and followed Tang Shu out to play. Lin Xi doesn't restrain him, boys should be lively. When Chu Sheng came back, Lin Xi saw that one of his cotton shoes was soaked, his trouser legs were rolled up, one trouser leg was still wet, his lips were purple from the cold, and he was carrying two live fish in his hand, and his face was still stained with fish scales.
