4. Chapter 4

None of the few people left behind spoke, silently doing the work in their hands, and there was a feeling of depression in the air.

Exhaled a long breath, Lin Zimo, who was sitting on the skin of the stick, sped up the movements in his hands, and did more work, so that he could feel better. Stretch your legs as much as possible, and what hurts him is the cheesecloth clothes on his body, which are airtight, and the cloth is rough, and the flesh hurts. The advantage of the crotch of the big Burmese pants is that it is more ventilated and breathable, and the bad thing is that I am always afraid that the cloth belt will be loose and the pants will fall off.

In addition to the uncle's family, even the grandmother wears coarse cloth clothes, which are cheap, hard to work and wear-resistant, but extremely uncomfortable to wear.

Lin Yu's sweaty face leaned out of the corner next to the cool stove outside, and he called with a smile: "Dad, the cake is cooked, you can take it." Looking at the diligent Lin Yu, the eldest patriarch let out a sigh, and Huang said: "Second child, I ate at home, are you bringing it to those two boys?" "I was tired from the busy farming season, and finally got rid of the torture of sorghum rice, and gave everyone a stick noodle cake, occasionally mixed with a meal of white noodles. Lin Huaide washed his face and said with a smile: "Let's go to the field to eat, carrying the cold water in the well." ”

In order to save time in a hurry, Lin Zihao and the others usually ate in the field at noon.

After taking off a layer of skin, the skin of Lin Huaide's father and son darkened again, and the farming work finally basically passed, Lin Zimo worked hard to help with the work, and at the same time consciously exercised himself, and his body was a lot stronger.

He found that the crops here were all once a year, and there was no such thing as winter wheat, and in winter, except for the cabbage and turnips in the vegetable garden, the land was deserted. Looking anxious, he couldn't say anything, Lin Zimo was very aggrieved.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the uncle and eldest brother Lin Ziwen also came back for the festival and steamed a bun with cabbage and pork stuffing at noon. After coming for more than a month, he finally ate white flour meat buns, and let Lin Zimo eat four of them in one go, ignoring the disdain on Lin Yun's face.

Lin Zihao's four brothers and sisters all know that when they usually eat, the two of Liu's mothers are pretending, and they are eating Xiaozao when they return to the house. There was a market in the town for three days, and they gathered it, and they ate it with a lot of fat, and they brought it back in secret, and hid it in the house.

Knowing that it was the uncle who earned the money back, several people were not blushing, the only thing that was dissatisfied was that grandma was so old that she had never eaten a bite of the things they bought, that is, the uncle occasionally bought back snacks for grandma, and the eldest aunt knew that she wanted to divide half of it, and the remaining half, Lin Yun almost ate it on the spot, and she would not save face at all.

After eating, everyone gathered in the grandmother's house, the kang and the bench were full of people, and the grandmother looked at the room of children and grandchildren chatting noisily, not annoying at all.

Lin Zimo found that the uncle frowned tightly and was preoccupied, the eldest aunt looked at him vigorously, the uncle pretended not to see, and when he looked at the eldest brother Lin Ziwen, he looked embarrassed, and Lin Yun gloated.

Lin Zimo was secretly vigilant, this is the eldest aunt is going to be a moth again, the uncle and the eldest brother obviously know, and it is difficult to say. It's just that the father and son are used to being cowardly, and they can't resist the eldest uncle, so the current scene appeared.

Liu glanced at Lin Huaiyi, straightened the half-old silver hairpin on his head, cleared his throat, and ignored Lin Huaiyi's desperate eyes, and opened his mouth at Huang: "Mother-in-law, everyone is here today, and everyone is also together, so I have something to discuss with you." Everyone was a little surprised, Liu had never spoken so kindly, especially in the past three years, a mouth can rush people one after another.

Huang twisted his neatly groomed head and opened his mouth lightly: "Say it, old man." Lin Zimo looked carefully, and the old man's indifferent eyes revealed a trace of sadness.

Lin Huaiyi stood up suddenly: "It's okay, mother, she said to play, we're fine." Liu shook the silk handkerchief in his hand vigorously and blew his hair: "What's okay?" Lin Huaiyi, I've been with you for 20 years, I haven't enjoyed a single day of happiness, and in the past few years, I have come to the village to suffer, thinking that I was born as a dignified warden (Liu's maiden father was also a showman, and he used to make money and was a pawn), and I never said anything (Lin Zimo complained: You haven't said anything yet?). Now that Ziwen is seventeen years old, it will be late for the next exam next year, how long do you want this poor family to drag him down? ”

"Mother-in-law, I ask to split the family, we have to take Ziwen to the city to find Mr. Gao Ming, someone else gave his father an errand in the library in the county town, and it just so happened that we all went, and the province delayed the child's future."

Lin Ziwen's face was flushed, and he said: "Mother, it's okay, I can't delay." Liu glared: "Shut up, haven't you let these people drag you down?" When you get to the city, study for me well, and don't always worry about others. Glancing at the Lin brothers: "Don't think I don't know your cats, I won't be able to take the Xiucai exam next year, and I will see my mother break your legs." ”

The house was quiet for a while, Lin Zimo didn't expect the eldest aunt to propose to split up! Why do you get to him and keep turning around? In other travel books, aren't they all the protagonists trying to separate their families? How did you get to him, it's the one who has been divided!

Lin Huaide and Zhou lowered their heads, the children didn't say a word, Lin Huaiyi also squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and was silent for a long time. The old man's eyes regained Chen Jing, without a trace of waves: "Okay, I know, the tree was forked, the family was branched, and your father has also passed the three-year filial piety period, if you don't say it, it's time to split up." ”

Lin Huaiyi raised his head, his face full of tears: "Mother, the child is not filial, and the child is not patient." Turning to Lin Huaide: "I'm also sorry brother." Lin Huaide was also moved: "Brother, don't say this, the eldest brother has been very good over the years, even if the family is separated, we are still brothers." ”

Huang's back was very straight: "You don't need to say anything, the second child is right, you are still brothers after the family is divided, take care of each other if you have anything, invite the patriarch and elders tomorrow and divide the family." ”

Liu Shi was overjoyed, he didn't expect it to be so easy to divide the family, he knew it earlier, how good it would be to divide it early: "Mother-in-law, after dividing the family tomorrow, we just went to the city with his father, and when the New Year is celebrated, we will come back to see you, and Yun'er and I will go to pack up our things." With that, he went back to the West House with the happy Lin Yun, but he didn't talk about the old man's support, and Huang's eyes darkened again.

Today's old people pay attention to living with their eldest son, and the few who don't follow their eldest son must also have an explanation. Lin Huaiyi's face was full of shame: "Mother, your old man should also follow us into the city." Lin Ziwen also followed and said, "Yes, grandma." You always follow us into the city, and when the second uncle is free, let him watch you grow old. ”

glanced at the eldest son and eldest grandson with emotion, the son and grandson are good, but the temper is too indecisive, and he just ran into a mixed daughter-in-law: "It's okay, I'm the same as your second uncle, I'm used to living in the village, and it's inconvenient to go to the city." Lin Huaide also said: "Let my mother follow us, and when the eldest brother is free, I will come back to see our mother." Zhou also nodded: "I don't understand anything, just let my mother-in-law teach us to teach." ”

Lin Huaiyi also knew that his younger brothers and sisters were virtuous, and he really let his mother follow him, but he was afraid that it would make the Liu family angry, and he was no longer polite at the moment, and bowed deeply: "Mother will ask my brothers and sisters to please." Lin Huaide hurriedly returned the salute, and the brothers of the Lin family bowed down: "Big brother Hugh wants to be like this, my mother is also my mother, as long as there is a bite to eat, my mother eats thick, I drink thin, and I must also support my mother." ”

In the evening, the little brothers gathered in front of the table, without the seriousness of the past, and they were all excited. To be honest, several children hate the eldest aunt, but as an elder, she makes it difficult for the children to say anything, and now that the family is going to be separated, the eldest aunt's family is also leaving, and it feels like a heavy burden.

Lin Zihao said solemnly: "Don't worry, the uncle's family is separated, I will work hard with my father, and I won't starve you." Lin Zihan also nodded: "And me, I will also work hard, I believe that our life will not be bad." "Two faces like Lin Huaide's national characters, a stroke of fun pavilion www.biquge.info heads.

Lin Yu, who was almost as tall as Lin Zimo, also clenched his hands: "I will also work hard to learn spinning, embroidery, and earn more money." "Most of the women in the village, except for housework, will spin yarn balls with spinning wheels and pay them to the county cloth mill in exchange for manual fees.

Lin Zimo twitched the corners of his mouth, he seemed to be the most incapable in the family, how could he be embarrassed?

Just as everyone was messing around, as soon as the door of the outhouse opened, the eldest brother Lin Ziwen sneaked in with a large bag of things.

Several people hurriedly got off the kang and took the bag in Lin Ziwen's hand, Lin Zihao asked, "Big brother, what are you doing here?" Lin Ziwen opened the package, revealing several large stacks of books inside, the old books were mixed with straw paper, books bound with white paper, and even a stack of unused black and yellow straw paper: "We went to the county seat this time, I don't know how many times we will come back, this is my old book and new copy of the book, you work hard, and you will also go to the test in the future." As he spoke, Lin Ziwen had tears in his eyes, and his thinner body, which was weaker than Lin Zihao, trembled slightly.

Lin Zimo sighed, to be honest, this eldest brother is very good, he has been really thinking about a few uncles and younger brothers, and he will have the ability in the future, so he must want to repay his friendship today
