"Xin'er, what are you doing behind the haystack?" Lin Meier took off a straw from her sister's head, and reprimanded her like a sister, although she was scolding, her tone was not fierce at all.

Lin Xin'er blinked, her long eyelashes sparkled like two fans, and her big eyes were full of excitement. She glanced around and stretched out her hands, there were five eggs on their little hands, needless to say that they were eggs of space, and she replied obediently, "I saw two pheasants go into the haystack, and when they came out, I went in and picked this up." ”

Lin Meier's eyes lit up, and she saw five eggs at once, which was too rare, the eggs laid by the three old hens raised by the Lin family were all saved for money, and occasionally one or two were cooked, and only Mrs. Lin's baby daughter Lin Chaozhen could eat them.

Mrs. Lin gave birth to five sons and finally looked forward to a daughter, she was very happy with this little girl, and she left everything delicious and delicious to Lin Chaozhen, and even the daily breakfast was cooked separately by Xiaozao.

In 1987, Linjiadu was still very poor and backward, and the village only implemented the production responsibility system in 1983, no longer eating big pot rice, and people's lives improved in four years, but only solved the most basic problem of food and clothing.

In places like the countryside, meat and eggs can't be eaten several times a year, not to mention eggs, they have to be saved for money, and pork can only be eaten if pigs are killed during the New Year. Since people have just solved the problem of food and clothing, there is not much excess food to feed the pigs, so it is good to have a hundred catties of pigs a year.

In a big family like the Lin family, half of the more than 100 catties of pork have to be given to the third son who lives in the city, and the son who is not around, Mrs. Lin will always feel more distressed, and the third son is the first 10,000 yuan household in the village, which makes her face very bright.

More than half of the remaining forty or fifty catties will be left for Lin Chaozhen to open a small stove, so there are only a few pieces of meat that will be distributed to other people's populations.

"Take it to grandma, five eggs can be sold for six cents." Lin Meier hesitated and said.

"Sister, we secretly hid it and burned it to eat, just one for each person." Lin Xin'er doesn't think so, she took it out just to feed her parents and sister, what does it matter to her whether other people are hungry or full? There were so many people in the Lin family in the last life, who ever felt sorry for her?

Lin Mei'er didn't speak, she looked at her skinny sister, and then thought about her parents who worked hard and were malnourished, and there was a struggle in her eyes. If so many eggs are hidden, parents can replenish the body; If it is handed over, if the situation is good, it can be exchanged for six cents, and if it is not good, it will enter Lin Chaozhen's stomach, and even if the money is exchanged, it will not be the share of the two sisters. Thinking about the gains and losses, Lin Meier immediately had her own idea.

"Sister, my parents work so hard every day, I have to make up for it." Lin Xin'er continued.

"Hmm." Lin Meier seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said, "Give it to me, I'll hide." ”

"Okay." Lin Xin'er smiled happily and handed the egg to her sister, she knew her sister's thoughts, her sister was afraid that her grandmother would find out, and she wanted to take the responsibility herself.

After the eggs were hidden, the two came to the hall for breakfast, and several men were already sitting at the dining table and eating, and the women and children had no seats, squatting or standing aside to drink the porridge in the bowl. The breakfast is the same every day, one bowl of porridge per person, two bowls for a man who is dry, a bowl of greens and a bowl of pickles for side dishes, the greens are grown in their own vegetable garden, and the pickles are dried at home, and these dishes can only be eaten by the man sitting at the table, and the woman without a seat cannot eat them.

Among so many women, only the eldest aunt Zhao Yimei is sitting, and she is feeding her baby son Lin Weiqiang batter (a thin paste made with rice noodles, usually for babies who can't eat), Mrs. Lin squinted her eyes and said unhappily, "How old is it to eat rice noodles, just your son Jin Gui." ”

Zhao Yimei didn't hear Mrs. Lin's words, and fed her son, who was already more than a year old, with batter as usual.

Mrs. Lin, who was a little taboo about her eldest daughter-in-law, complained and stopped talking, Zhao Yimei's maiden family is solid, every year the Lin family can't receive food, they all rely on the Zhao family to help, eat people with a short mouth, take people softly, she can only turn a blind eye to Zhao Yimei.

Lin Xin'er and Lin Mei'er went to the table to serve their own porridge, stood aside and began to eat.

"Dead girl, where did you go to the field early in the morning, you can't eat on time, next time you do this, you will starve to death." Mrs. Lin said this to Lin Xin'er, how did she look at the wild girl that her son brought back.

Lin Xin'er was standing aside and drinking porridge silently, without saying anything, not long after she had finished drinking the porridge, and deliberately passed by Mrs. Lin when she put the bowl.

"Lin Xin'er, she said that you made it bad when she pulled the needle in the morning, and she didn't go anywhere in the morning, so she only talked to you." Mrs. Lin saw Lin Xin'er in front of her, and asked sternly, in fact, she herself knew that the weak Lin Xin'er didn't have this ability, she just didn't like this outsider and wanted to find fault.

Lin Xin'er sneezed loudly, and the splash of spit flew over Mrs. Lin's face, and Mrs. Lin pushed Lin Xin'er in disgust, "You uneducated wild girl, how can you sneeze at people?" Lin Xin'er didn't argue, but there was a sly light in her eyes, and she successfully sprayed some medicine on Mrs. Lin with that sneeze, and she was waiting to see a good show.

"Xin'er, why are you sneezing, is it cold?" Kong Yu hurriedly ran over and quietly supported Lin Xin'er, who almost fell, she couldn't be good to Lin Xin'er, Mrs. Lin would not be pleasing to the eye, and it would be her three children when the time came.

"My sister-in-law poured a basin of cold water on me this morning." Lin Xin'er said aggrievedly that although she had taken revenge and gone back, she still had to let everyone know about this matter. In the previous life, she was too weak, and after being bullied by Lin Chaozhen, she didn't dare to say a word, so she led Lin Chaozhen to be even more unscrupulous.

Mrs. Lin was shocked, she knew that her youngest daughter often bullied Lin Xin'er, but this girl never dared to say that she had grown up today, and she dared to say it in front of so many people. But since she has been able to control the Lin family for so many years, of course she has a certain amount of courage and means, she immediately calmed down and said disdainfully, "What is there to take seriously the children's play." ”

Mrs. Lin blocked Kong Yu who was about to speak with a word, if Kong Yu cares about it, he will be like a child, and he will be laughed at by others if he doesn't know anything like this.

Lin Xin'er didn't tell this matter to let her parents avenge her, she just wanted everyone to know what kind of person Lin Chaozhen was, of course, saying it once didn't have much effect, every time she was embarrassed in the future, she would say it, so that everyone's impression of Lin Chaozhen would get worse and worse, and everyone would have no opinion if she started to clean up Lin Chaozhen again.

"Eat, eat, eat." Mrs. Lin said as if she was making a summary.

But some people don't want to stop, they want to find trouble, Zhao Yimei finished feeding the child, took a sip of porridge, there was no taste at all, she wanted to pick up some dishes to change the taste, but found that the two bowls of dishes were bottomed out, her face changed immediately, her mother's family sent so much relief, but she couldn't get it at all, all into Lin Chaozhen's girl's belly, of course she was not convinced, took Mrs. Lin's previous words and said: "I think my sister-in-law's diarrhea has nothing to do with anyone, it was eaten by her Xiaozao." ”
