CHAPTER XXIII

The next morning, Lin Xiuxiu was full of energy, hey! It feels so good to have meat to eat, and my brother and mother's faces look much better, huh! You must open a small stove for your brother and mother, and raise them for nothing.

After my mother and I finished breakfast, my brother went to school, and sure enough, Lin Yan didn't let my brother go with him. Lin Xiuxiu hurriedly walked to the mountain with a bamboo basket on her back, and after cutting the pigweed, she hurriedly walked to the county town with sulfur on her back. When I arrived at the medical hall, Brother Xiao Wang weighed the sulfur and gave me thirty taels of silver, I picked up the silver, put it in my arms, looked around, and didn't find Song Wenxuan, and I don't know why there was a faint sense of loss in my heart. Back in the mountains, I used my mental ability to shoot a pheasant, and after washing it, I made a pheasant called Flower Chicken according to yesterday's practice. When I got home, no one wondered what was in my back basket.

After dinner was ready, I still brought a bowl of rice to my mother, and when my mother finished eating, I left with peace of mind. When I finished eating, I quickly took the chicken in it, and after sharing the chicken with my brother and mother, everyone washed and prepared to sleep.

Days passed, and I was threshing pigweed every day, so that I could sell the sulphur, and I had saved almost three hundred taels of silver. I also hunt wild things for my brother and mother every day, although my brother and mother still look thin, but their spirit is obviously much better, especially my mother, who can already get out of bed.

For many more days, Lin Xiuxiu went to the hospital every day to sell sulfur and supplement nutrition for her mother and brother, but she was a little sad, just a little! I haven't seen Brother Song before. After supplementing her nutrition these days, her mother has already begun to go to the field and help work together. Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and every household has begun to cook zongzi. The Wang family didn't care whether they were reluctant or not, and they also started to cook zongzi, after all, they have to send zongzi to each other to relatives and friends, which is about the face of our scholarly family! Wang took out the bacon at home, bought dates, and took out salted eggs to cook, anyway, for this Dragon Boat Festival, Wang made a bloody investment.

Sure enough, everyone saw the zongzi sent by Wang, and they all praised Wang's fiercely, I knew that Wang's face was there, and I didn't know what it was in my heart. The eldest aunt and the little aunt are also hurrying to send zongzi to their parents' family, but I don't understand why my mother doesn't send zongzi to my mother's family? I didn't mention anything about my family. Later, my brother told me, and I found out why.

It turns out that my mother still has my mother and my brother. My mother had a hard life when she was a child, but my father left early, and I depended on my brother and my mother. But the elder brother married a wife, and the eldest brother's wife was very spicy, and he wanted to buy his mother as a concubine for a fifty-eight-year-old outsider, but fortunately, his grandmother promised his mother to his father, otherwise his mother would be finished. A few years ago, when my grandmother was still alive, my mother still had contact with my mother's family, but after my grandmother died, it was slowly cut off and there was no contact again.

Lin Xiuxiu thought to herself, no wonder my grandmother was doing so hard to abuse my mother, it turned out that she was bullying my mother and didn't have a mother's family!

Lin Xiuxiu looked at her mother and found that her mother was in a good mood, do you know why? Because my dad is coming back. Sure enough, after I finished cutting the pigweed, I saw my father coming back. Lin Zhi saw his daughter who came back from work, and hurriedly walked over and hugged her, "Daddy's good daughter, do you miss Daddy?" Lin Xiuxiu looked at her father hugging her, and hurriedly replied, "Of course I miss my father, but Daddy, you quickly find me, I want to put the pigweed away." ”

Sure enough, my father saw the pigweed behind me, and quickly helped me take my heart, and took my hand to put the pigweed away. Because Li was in better health, he went out for a walk to help with some work, and just happened to see his man holding his daughter's hand.

Lin Zhi saw his daughter-in-law come out, and hurriedly walked over and asked, "Daughter-in-law, are you feeling better?" Let's go in and rest, I'm doing the work here? "Oh, we deserve to work hard, and some people rest every day and don't know how to do a little work."

Zhao looked at Li jealously, why can she do nothing when she is pregnant, but I have to do so much work. After listening to the words of the eldest aunt, my father's face turned red, and he stammered, "Sister-in-law, you see that my daughter-in-law is pregnant and her health is not good, so I want her to rest and rest, just let me do it." ”

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zhao snorted and went into the kitchen to work again. Daddy was about to go into the kitchen to help my aunt with the work, and I hurriedly said, "Daddy, I'll do the fire, you have worked hard, I can do a little work." Daddy listened to my words, touched my head with satisfaction and said, "Xiuxiu has grown up, you guys are good." "Hey, hey, hey! I grinned at my dad and hurried into the kitchen.

Actually, there were quite a lot of meals cooked today, and the Wang family also made a lot of money. Today's meat dishes are still relatively large, there is a cured chicken, is one of the two chickens I beat last time, Wang was not willing to eat, pickled into pre-cured, today is a good day, Wang is willing to take out.

There is also a fresh pork, of course, it was not bought by the Wang family, it was my father's owner who saw the festival and gave everyone the benefits of the holiday. In fact, there is a pot of wine for welfare, and of course, there is also Daddy's salary this month. Of course, as soon as the things were brought back, they went into Wang's pocket, and it was called your son's tuition. When the meal was ready, my aunt and I brought the food into the hall together, and many people saw that the eyes of the rice were straightened, and the food was thin every day for the past few days, and the mouth and mouth had no taste for a long time. Although they opened their own small stoves, they never ate meat when they opened small stoves! I'm dying of hunger for a long time.

My mother and brother and I are all eating meat in a small stove tomorrow night, and there is no reaction when we see the meat, and the owner of the place where my father works is a good person, and he has a little meat every three days, so my father is not very hungry for meat. But if you don't want to be greedy, who will dislike meat! When the old man said that the meal was opened, everyone started and went to the meat clip. When so many people eat meat, there is a disgusted look on their faces, it is too unpalatable. But no matter how unpalatable it is, everyone still has to eat it with their teeth, because they don't know when they will eat meat next time. This meal is very difficult for everyone, when we used to fry meat, there was absolutely nothing left, but today there is still meat left. Grandpa looked at the meat on the table, shook his head, and began to say to his mother, "The second one, you are in much better health, you don't want to do the heavy work, you are responsible for cooking!" Li listened to the old man's words and hurriedly responded, anyway, it's been three months, and the fetus is like, so you can still do such a little work.
