450 The noble son of the poor family (4) The second watch
Noble son of the poor family (4)
For this colleague who seems to have some stallion trends, Lin Yutong and the fourth master don't pay much attention.
Such a person is destined to have limited achievements, and if he doesn't play himself to death, this is not the end.
Lin Yutong is not stupid enough to recognize such a person.
I can't say that in the future, I have to be more cautious and cautious, and he saw the clues.
The rain never stopped. In addition to going out to cook and eat on time, Lin Yutong spent the rest of his time sitting on the kang and making two clothes for the fourth master to hurry out.
It was cold, and the coarse cloth clothes were not warm at all.
Qian came twice, and when he saw that the clothes in Lin Yutong's hand were for his son, he patted Lin Yutong, turned around and gave Lin Yutong a dime of silver. I'm afraid that she thinks that the muslin cloth in Lin Yutong's hand is a dowry given by the Lin family.
Lin Yutong pushed it for a long time, and Qian glared, then turned around and went out.
It can be seen that although she can't speak, she is a person who understands in her heart.
The fourth master was busy taking out the unwet half-pulled mud billet under the firewood pile, and set up an earthen stove in his own hut. Thanks to the training in the Northeast in those years, he can really do a little bit of everything. With an earthen stove, you can boil your own water. If you want to drink a sip of hot water, you have to get permission from the old lady before you can start the fire.
The old lady generally doesn't do anything that costs firewood.
"When the weather clears, let's get some firewood early or late. The fourth master looked at the earthen stove that had basically taken shape, and smiled at Lin Yutong.
Lin Yutong glanced at the very rough earthen stove, and praised the fourth master vigorously, "It's really more and more capable, except for giving birth to children, there is no master who can't." ”
"Let's start pouring ecstasy soup again. "The fourth master smoothed out the untidy places with mud. Only then did he turn around and say, "When I go back to the door tomorrow, I don't think there will be any good things at home." Let's prepare something else. ”
"I didn't dare to move anything but the fabric. Even the cloth can only be used with green cloth and black cloth. Dim sum, sugar, I don't know what kind of things are sold outside, and I don't dare to take them out casually. Lin Yutong was also worried, "Or, go to the town first and buy a few catties of meat." ”
"Come on. The fourth master straightened up and walked out again, "I'll take a few firewood first, light the stove and roast it." It's wet, and it's not comfortable in the house. ”
"You can't use a pot on it, and the province makes people think that we have another stove. Lin Yutong and the other four masters brought the firewood, and said, "Get a big clay pot." ”
The days are really getting more and more primitive.
In the evening, Lin Yutong took out steamed buns and meat sauce from the space, and the two had a full meal. My stomach felt a little more comfortable.
It rained for the past two days, and I didn't work, and the whole family ate thin. Of course, according to Xiao He's family, the old lady's snacks and other things were sent to San Lang and his wife and Yin Youniang. People can't go hungry.
Early the next morning, the three daughters-in-law had to go back.
The old lady personally packed a basket of white-skinned eggs, a basket of pears, a basket of red dates, two large carps, an elbow, and a jar of wine, called a carriage, and sent San Lang and Fan out of the door.
And for the fourth master and Lin Yutong, I packed a basket of beans and soybeans, a basket of hawthorn, and a jar of home-made wine, and this is over.
Even if Lin Yutong doesn't care about things, he also cares about this face.
Beans and cucumbers - autumn, all old.
Hawthorn - there is one on the back mountain. Wild.
Sake brewing – made from a handful of rice and water.
When Xiao He and Erlang are here, there will only be a basket of spinach and a basket of sour dates.
Spinach – also known as autumn waves, spinach in autumn. When I'm old, it's not good to feed the pigs.
Sour dates - all over the mountains. The huge jujube pits are wrapped in a layer of skin.
Xiao He's hand was shaking when he took the basket. It's infuriating.
Lin Yutong wondered when the old lady got such wild things back.
Let's take sour dates as an example, no matter how greedy children are, they are too lazy to pick things, thanks to how the old lady thinks about it.
Just about to go out, Yin Lao Er came over with a big bag of things, "This is for Xiucaigong"
As soon as the fourth master received it, he heard the old lady shouting, "Second brother, did you take all your father's tobacco?"
Yin Lao Er whispered to the fourth master: "Hurry up!" Then he turned around with a hippie smile and shouted to the old lady: "What kind of tobacco? I didn't see it?"
Talking nonsense with your eyes open. People in their forties are not embarrassed at all.
Lin Yutong followed the fourth master out of the door, and heard the old lady crying: "You deflated calf, that thing is worth two taels of silver." You're going to give me back......"
Lin Yutong and the fourth master couldn't help but speed up their pace, and when they had walked out of a long way, the two of them reacted, and they immediately felt very funny.
Behind him, Xiao He beat Erlang 'pop', "This thing is fed to the pigs at my house, and the pigs don't eat it." ”
Erlang laughed softly, "Do you have pigs in your poor family? I haven't seen pig manure for several years." That's all it takes to have these, when you got married, your family took a bride price of ten taels of silver. ”
My father and mother have worked hard for half a lifetime, and they secretly saved the ten taels, all of which were given to her family. Ten taels is enough to buy a big girl.
What the two said again, Lin Yutong and the fourth master didn't listen.
When I arrived in the town, I weighed two catties of snacks and five kernels. weighed two catties of pork belly, and then returned and went to Hexi Village.
The town is only three miles away from both villages, and it is very convenient. And from the Yin family to the Lin family, it takes only twenty minutes to walk. Out of the village is the river, and after crossing the bridge over the river, it is Hexi Village. The Lin family is located at the entrance of the village.
The courtyard of a farmer's house is Lin Yutong's maiden home.
As soon as he crossed the river, Lin Erlang waited on the side of the road, "It's time to wait for you." I saw my sister and brother-in-law leave the village before, but in a blink of an eye, the two went up to the town again. But looking at the way of talking and laughing along the way, I think about it, we get along pretty well. He didn't scream, and he guessed in his heart that the two of them should go to buy something back to the door. Going to the door of the old man's father-in-law can be solemn, which is originally a respect for the Lin family. He didn't say anything, just watched. It didn't take much effort for the two of them to go, and he didn't have to wait long.
"Second brother!" Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment, and then compared the memory in his mind with others.
Lin Erlang is a handsome-looking teenager, sixteen or seventeen years old. There was a faint smell of medicine on his body. He has been studying medicine with Lin Jiren.
The fourth master arched his hand, "Second uncle." ”
Lin Erlang replied lightly, "Go home first, my father and mother are waiting." ”
In fact, since the younger sister got married, the old lady has fallen ill. She fled to Hexi Village and was rescued by the Lin family before marrying Lin Jiren. These years have also been peaceful. But the father-in-law promised his little daughter to someone without permission, and he didn't ask for her opinion at all. Where did she live in her heart?
I was angry and made myself sick.
The old man was also a little sneering, especially in the past two days, when no one served the tea and dinner at home. The old lady sat on the kang all day long and scolded him. He himself felt a little sorry for his son and daughter-in-law.
The atmosphere in the home is oppressive. The son is silent all day long, and the daughter-in-law is sick and can't get out of bed. The grandchildren did not come to him to talk either.
This kind of change makes Lao Xiucai feel unspeakably uncomfortable and aggrieved.
With the arrival of Lin Yutong and the fourth master, there was a bit of fresh air in this house.
"I'm fine. Lin Yutong took Jin's hand and said in a low voice. She took the pulse by the way, but she was just a little depressed.
As he spoke, he took out the return salute.
The dim sum and meat were all newly bought. You don't have to look at this.
After only looking at the old beans and cucumbers, he asked Jin to sit up from the kang with a rub, and then immediately went to the ground. "The old pious woman of the Yin family is the most good at watching people put down dishes. "When the new daughter-in-law came back to the door, she actually sent the old vegetable helper, who is this.
Lin Jiren lifted the curtain and came in, "Okay! That basket of hawthorns, isn't it good? Keep it for medicinal herbs, it's useful." "Look at the Kim family again, yes! This is anger coming up, and that depression is gone. The body is naturally better.
Kim picked up suddenly, "I'll cook for my daughter." What about the son-in-law?"
Lin Jishi said curtly: "Dad asked his son-in-law to speak." ”
Jin snorted, pursed his lips, and urged Lin Yutong, "Talk to your grandmother." ”
The old lady of the Lin family is a petite old lady with small feet. Sitting cross-legged, the three-inch golden lotus was pressed under the leg. Lin Yutong wouldn't be so cross-legged.
"I've wronged you. The old lady wiped her tears and rubbed Lin Yutong's hand.
Lin Yutong was quite uncomfortable, "Don't be aggrieved." Life is made by people. ”
The old lady nodded, "This is insightful." In the past, how big our family's family business was, it was so stunned that the old immortal was defeated. Nowadays, your uncle and your father have earned it little by little. ”
As he spoke, he lifted up his clothes, touched it for a long time, and found a small silver ingot, "Take it, and buy whatever you want to eat." The Yin family's life is not easy. It's only been two days, and our little Jiaojiao has lost weight. ”
Where is Lin Yutong embarrassed to take the old lady's body silver, it is all the pocket money given to the old lady by the uncle in the city.
"Your granddaughter has money, save your money well, and when my brother and they marry a daughter-in-law in the future, you can use the money to buy candy for your great-grandson." Lin Yutong gave the silver back to the old lady again.
However, after eating, Mother Lin stuffed Lin Yutong with two and a half taels of silver horns, "If you want to eat, ask your son-in-law to buy it for you." Don't be reluctant. After spending it, my mother will give it to you next time. "I want to subsidize my daughter, but I don't dare to give more silver, for fear of being cheated. Give a little at a time, and when you run out, even if you ask your son to send it again.
Lin Yutong had no choice but to accept it this time. Anyway, there's always a time to get it back.
However, the gift that he brought back was found by Lin Yutong himself in the Lin family. Picked two pumpkins on pumpkin seedlings in the backyard. That's it. When this thing is tender, it is delicious to make dumplings and buns. Even if it's old, it's a good thing to boil porridge. It's better than the old cucumber that has gone into the pigsty.
