Chapter 5 Sun
In rural areas, it is necessary to eat two meals, especially after the farm is busy, it is necessary to reduce it.
The small fish caught by Lin Yu was stewed in a clay pot with sauce.
"Auntie, you are so good, Da Zhuang and I can't catch so many fish in a day, how can you catch so many fish in the effort of washing clothes?"
"I'll teach you someday."
"Tomorrow! Good no good? Taicai's eyes were full of anticipation.
Lin Yu looked at Sun, and Sun also smiled and nodded.
"It's okay to come with me, but tomorrow afternoon, when the sun warms up the river."
"No problem!" Taicai patted his chest and promised.
On the second day, Lin Yu smashed a few small fish that he had deliberately left the day before, took rice bran and mixed it again, and then put it in Daquan's patched pants and went to the river together.
Taicai is a little watery, so he put his pants closer to the deep water, and after coming out, Lin Yu quickly took the linen cloth and wiped the water off his body.
Taicai couldn't stay idle, standing on the shore and watching into the water.
"Auntie, go in a big fish, a big fish!" Taicai said excitedly.
"Shhhh Be quiet, and don't make the fish go. ”
"Hmm!" Taichai whispered. "Auntie, another one!"
Lin Yu nodded, counted down a minute in his head, and then asked Taicai to go in and fish up his pants.
As soon as Taicai fished out his pants, Lin Yu quickly took them and took them to a place far away from the riverbank. As soon as I let go, sure enough, there were two half-arm-length catfish in the trouser leg this time, as well as some loaches and small fish.
"It's good to catch it quickly, otherwise the catfish will eat all the small fish in a while." Lin Yudao.
"Auntie, it's still early, let's catch it again?" The wealth is still unfinished.
"We just moved too much, and we have already scared the big fish away, and when the big fish comes again, it will be dark, and it will be too late. Let's take these and go home. ”
"Oh."
"Don't hang your head, we'll come back someday!" Lin Yu rubbed Taicai's head.
"Hmm!" Taicai responded happily, quickly put on his clothes, and followed behind Lin Yu in a hurry.
When the villagers saw the two of them, they all asked who Taicai Lin Yu was, and Taicai replied: "It's my aunt!" The words are full of pride and pride.
Some people also asked them what they were doing, Sun had already prepared, and prepared a basin for Lin Yu, Lin Yu put the fish at the bottom, and covered it with Daquan pants, when people asked, Lin Yu said to go wash clothes.
Sun was very satisfied with the results of the two of them in the afternoon, and originally wanted to raise the catfish and eat it in a few days, but when he heard Lin Yu say that the catfish eat meat, he dispelled this idea, and stewed it all in one go.
The next morning, before Lin Yu got up, two loud voices that had been deliberately suppressed chirped sounded outside the house.
"Still asleep?"
"yes!"
"If you want me to say, this girl is lazy, how can it be like us who are married, serving the old and taking care of the young every day, I want to lie down for a while, and I want to think about whether there is food in the house, thinking about helping people get a sole today, and helping people touch (hatch) a few eggs tomorrow, how much to earn, and let the men in our family suffer less."
Thinking that people were talking about getting up late, Lin Yu quickly got up, grabbed his clothes and put them on.
"She's just coming back, and she may not be used to it somewhat."
"Not used to it yet! It's been a few days since I came back! Your family went hunting in the mountains with my family before dawn, and you see, the sun is about to come out, and it is still lying down! I really think I'm an old girl, looking at ten miles and eight villages, how can anyone so old still rely on my brother's house? I said, Did she give you some money? ”
"Look at what you said, what's wrong with me as a sister-in-law, I asked her for money for so many days, as if I couldn't tolerate anyone."
"You're going to let her live in vain? People have been palace maids for so many years, can they still be short of money? ”
"Taifu's father didn't say it, and I can't mention it. Besides, she lives here, and we will have to collect the bride price in the future. ”
"Hmph. Hey, I said, did you see Daxin's daughter-in-law bring a pair of silver earrings yesterday? Ouch, I haven't seen anyone else wear silver earrings except for the new daughter-in-law! ”
"Daxinjia has married a little sister, this life is really different!" Sun said.
"It's not, the little sister is married to a rich man, and her family has a shop in the county, not to mention how majestic! Even with a new daughter-in-law can wear jewelry, look at the sister-in-law of others! ”
"Oops, it's annoying! Why did you come so early! Taicai got up from the kang and interrupted Lin Yu's obedience.
"It's so rich!" Lin Yu said warmly.
"Hmm." Taicai looked left and right, "Dad, they're gone, and they don't take me with you!" "Taicai is extremely angry.
No wonder I went up the mountain before dawn this morning, and I hadn't been woken up yet, because I didn't want to take Taicai with me, so the family slowed down.
The voices outside continued, and Lin Yu asked, "Taicai, who is the person outside?" ”
Taicai listened for a moment, "It's Da Zhuang mother." ”
"Is it Da Zhuang who catches fish with you?"
"yes!" Taicai nodded.
Lin Yu was a little gloomy. She already has a sense of sojourn when she lives here, and when Sun says this to Da Zhuang Niang, it is inevitable that she is not hinting at herself.
When she first came back, she kept glancing at what was in her baggage when she saw Sun helping to clean up her things, and later said that she had bought meat, and she was shocked again. Taicai went into the water to touch the fish, and it was so cold that her stomach was cold, and she said that she didn't bring the fish back for herself to eat. When she was doing laundry with others, she was upset and said that she was an old girl.
In fact, Lin Yu didn't blame her, and also reminded herself not to be sensitive. After all, Sun is just a rural woman, she has no world, and she has been saving for this family. She suddenly appeared, which caught them off guard, but she told herself that she wanted to send Taifu and Taicai to school, but she was really shy in her pocket, so she didn't answer the words.
She also knew that the Sun family had always wanted her to give some money to her family, but she always felt that she had no money to rely on, and she didn't even have the least sense of security, and if something happened, she would be even more passive.
In fact, Da Zhuang Niang is right, this is not modern, and the property of the father and mother after death is not a daughter's share, even if the daughter is not married. And this is the north, where the social status of women is relatively low, because it is not popular here to add any dowry to daughters, all of them are given by the man's family, and the woman's family will return half of it, as the living expenses of a couple. Some families are more generous, and they will retreat to *, and some families are stingy, and there are also people who return one or two percent. Therefore, similar to Lin Yu, if her parents died before she got married, her parents would not leave her anything. And whoever she chooses to live in, the future bride price will be given to whomever family, this is the living expenses of her sojourn.
