Chapter 8 Eating melons
There are few vegetables in winter, and in addition to pickles and dried vegetables, sauerkraut can be eaten often in the Northeast. Because Lin Guo is often at home, he learns to cook and pastry when he is tired of doing handicrafts, and his skills are still quite good. The sauerkraut is thick, and it doesn't taste good if it doesn't taste good, so clean it up according to the degree of acidity you like. If you squeeze the sauerkraut too hard, it will taste bad.
Most of the cornmeal cakes are divided into forest fruits, and the food at home is divided according to work. The aunt brought good things over for a long time, but she couldn't stand the many brothers, and there were not many equals, so she barely starved to death by saving money.
The eldest brother and father are strong laborers in the family, there is nothing to say, the younger brother is growing his body, and his mother is an elder. Lin Guo couldn't eat half a cake at all, and drank more oilless sauerkraut soup.
Loaded with a belly of water and forest fruit lying on the kang, the quilt has obvious traces of passivity. Lin Guo pouted, this was turned over? This condition at home is not bad, and the father and mother who sold their daughters for a hundred are unflattering. Whether the matter can be solved or not, you need to have a say in the family, and even be financially independent.
The handicrafts made by Lin Guo belong to the mid-end consumption, all hand-sewn dolls, pillows are well-made, and the upper layer of the fabric is very cost-effective, so it has a good reputation among customers. In the previous life, a handmade doll had to be made for three days, and it was not suitable at this stage.
Lin Guo thought about it and wanted to make a hairpin for the headflowers, which was a good idea. Just use some leftovers, the price can be much cheaper, it is easy to make, and the customer base is also large. When the aunt came to ask her for help, the original owner had not entered the city for seventeen years. By the way, there is also the problem of literacy, the original owner only knows a few numbers on the money, but it can't be said that he suddenly knows them all, and he can't let people arrest them. Forget about taking the university entrance examination or something, there is no one at all, and you will be admitted to the university after two years of study? Not very realistic. There are really a lot of things, and Lin Guo gradually straightened out his heart and felt a lot more steady.
Lin Guo got up at five o'clock in the morning to clean up the room and prepare to cook. The leftovers were hot last night, and the steamed sweet potatoes were a meal. After eating, the villagers all went to the acquaintances' houses, and the east and west families chatted and bragged together.
It was dark outside, and you could see the headlights of the car from afar.
"Yikes! Sister, why are you here so early? Sun Juan hurriedly ran out to take a look, the most promising sister-in-law of the Lao Lin family came back, and there was also her brother-in-law Liu An when she came back. It is said that usually this brother-in-law does not come back with him easily when he is not a New Year, but he does not come back with him, is it not that things have settled? The face is smiling like a flower, and everyone looks a few years younger.
The aunt is wearing a green military uniform, and the good appearance inherited by the old Lin family looks like a special spirit. The eldest uncle stood aside with no expression on his face, and the temperament of a soldier tough guy looked very serious.
"Big sister!" Father Lin was also stunned when he came out, the good guy still drove the car, touching the car with his hand, "This big guy is really magnificent." ”
Lin Hengtao Lin Hengfu kept circling around the car, Lin Hengfu said: "Auntie, did you bring me something delicious?" ”
Father Lin's face was not very good, how could he have to eat when he met, "This kid, go aside." The eldest sister and brother-in-law quickly entered the house and sat down, it was cold outside. ”
The dishes on the table were all removed, and the aunt glanced at Lin Guo, who was standing behind the crowd, "Oops! The person who caught it looked over and over again, "Why are you hurt like this?" Did you go to the hospital or not, did you have a headache? ”
Lin Guo shook his head with a smile, "It doesn't hurt for a long time, it's okay." ”
Father Lin took out the treasured tea leaves from the house and put a small handful in the teapot, "What can be a big deal if children play with each other." ”
"What's going on, how ugly it is for the girl's head to protrude. Can't you count it if you have a scar? The aunt sneered in her heart, if it hadn't been for the fruit to call her, she wouldn't have known that she would be so badly injured.
handed the cup to the eldest uncle with his own hands, this is the highest courtesy given by Lin Wenyong. I didn't pay much attention to my sister's deliberate words, "Just cover your hair." ”
The eldest uncle looked at his nose and nose, and didn't care much about the little niece that his daughter-in-law liked. Seeing that this girl was always lifeless, this time she looked much calmer. All he has to do is bully his daughter-in-law to support her. Thinking of going home last night to see her angry, I had palpitations and almost ate melons.
The aunt's anger endured and endured, this face is a matter of the girl's life. Who's dad will be over with a sentence? "This is not a good thing, you don't feel distressed when you are a father, but you are distressed when you are an aunt. Who was injured, I have to come to the door and say it well. ”
Mother Lin looked at it wrongly on the side, and wanted to pull the topic over, so she asked with a smile, "Eldest sister, how did you ask for help last time to see what happened to this?" ”
"What's going on? How do you look at the children who are injured like this? "The tone of Aunt Lin is not good, and the words are a little rushed. Lin Xiaohe has been bright and upright all her life, and she looks down on this kind of woman who is inconsistent.
Father Lin was a little unhappy, glaring at his daughter-in-law, how could she speak as a woman. "How can rural children have these exquisiteness, and they are not bad on their faces, and people have come to apologize."
"Wen Yong! Who the hell is this? "My aunt continued to be unrelenting.
Father Lin couldn't hide from it before he said, "Shen family! ”
"The Shen family? Just your village chief's house? ”
Father Lin nodded.
"It's her family that can't be let go, have you forgotten to be a mother? Isn't it because of this that you want to marry someone? The aunt's smile was unusually bright, only the aunt could see that this was a precursor to her anger, and the better she smiled, the more serious the consequences. Liu An looked at his brother-in-law with sympathy.
Lin Hengfu was holding a big apple in his hand and gnawing happily, and hearing this, his father had no reason to say, "My sister has a bad reputation and can't get married." ”
Hearing this, the aunt "slammed" the table, and the teacups on it clanged, "What does it mean to have a bad reputation?" What is a joke? Is Lin Guo playing with people? Can it hurt like this? Today, if you don't make it clear, we will go to my father and say. ”
Mother Lin didn't know when she was pregnant with Lin Guo, and it happened to be Mr. Lin's birthday at that time. During the Cultural Revolution, I didn't dare to do a big job, and I didn't have the ability, so I prepared a meal together as a family. Mother Lin followed her sisters-in-law to cook in the kitchen, and only when she bled did she know that she was pregnant with a child, she found out that she was still twins, and the two children were tenacious Lin Guo stayed. left a haze for the original birthday banquet, because this Lin mother injured her body and was born a girl. sighed all day long, sighed and sighed Mother Lin, one would cry for her own life, and one would think that it was not for the master's birthday, where did these things come from.
Pregnant with twins in the countryside is a happy event for both men and women, who can say for sure whether it is a dragon and phoenix fetus? Poor Lin Guo didn't take the next meal, and put it on the kang and cried with the kitten. Grandma Lin felt sorry for her granddaughter and took her back to raise her for a few days, and Grandma Lin helped the production team raise chickens when she was old, and stole two eggs for her granddaughter to raise her body. It was not uncommon for people to starve to death back then, and this kind of thing was not uncommon and passed with one eye closed.
Shen Mei's father knew that in order to make up enough places, he organized people to criticize the Doulin family. Grandma Lin was criticized for three days for hanging a sign at her age, and children could throw mud at her. As soon as the anger came up, the people left, so that the two families were enmity. In the later period, it was the aunt who helped take care of Lin Guo, so that the original owner did not starve to death early.
Father Lin's eyes changed suddenly, Dad knew that he could eat good fruits? The big unfilial hat is buttoned, and the village can still raise its head? Stretching his neck, he shouted angrily: "I'm his father, I said it's okay, it's okay, and if she marries, she has to marry me." ”
Lin Guo clapped his hands in his heart, his aunt could force his father like this. Grandpa hated her for indirectly "killing" her grandmother, but she was very fair, and she didn't have to worry about getting married if he was in charge.
