Chapter 33: To the Patriarch
The good thing that Zhao said is that the ancestral hall in the village was renovated the year before last, and according to the reason, as long as the people of Linjia Village had to pool some money, those who had money would pay, and those who didn't have money could pay some food to the village to deduct it.
In fact, it's not much, the family is more than 100 dollars, but when it was He's turn, He said that he had already moved out and would not go back to live, and the ancestral hall just refused to pay.
At that time, he was still red-faced with the patriarch, and later the patriarch said that if he refused to pay for the renovation of this ancestral hall, he would not be from the village in the future, and he would remove them from this village.
But that time the He family also offended the patriarch, presumably went to the patriarch's house, the matter is not over yet, thinking of this matter, the Zhao family gritted his teeth at the He family, but it was more than a hundred big money, who couldn't afford this money.
Besides, even if you don't live in this village now, but after all, this is also the root of their old Lin family, and they still have to come back here after a hundred years of old age, but this daughter-in-law just makes them faceless in the patriarch's house.
Thinking of these, I can't help but complain about my son, why is it so useless, he listens to his daughter-in-law for everything, and he doesn't have any waist bones at all, so it's like this.
But after all, it is his own son, what can he do, he still has to accompany him to the patriarch's house, even if it is to make the patriarch ridiculed.
When Huang returned home, it was almost time for lunch, Huang looked at the house, there was still some bacon, four or five catties of white flour, black flour and cornmeal were still more than ten catties each, and the grain could last for a while.
At noon, Huang made some wowotou with black noodles, made a cabbage fried bacon, and another plate of wild vegetables, the white noodles did not move, and Huang planned to put them there, and eat white noodles again every few days in the future.
Some time ago, the life of the family was better, and I could basically eat a meal of white flour steamed buns every day, but now the family has to save some more, at least after this time, until the grain in my field can be planted next year.
At noon, the family ate wowotou, the interest was not high, and no one made a sound of the meal, and finished it silently. In the afternoon, Huang asked Lin He to take Lin Chen and Xiaobao to take a look and pick up some firewood and come back, the weather is getting colder and colder, and firewood is needed for cooking and burning kang in this house, which makes Xiaobao happy.
Since the family built a house, Xiaobao because no one took him out to play, and he stayed at Ergouzi's house every day, did not go out, these days, the big ones have to go to school, only he is not alone, he is a little bored, today I heard that he can go out to collect firewood, he is really happy.
Lin He also stayed at home every day during this time, and planned to take his younger siblings out for a walk in the afternoon. Lin He felt that he was really conflicted sometimes.
In my previous life, I always felt that I had no parents, my childhood was not happy, and when I grew up a little, I had to take up most of my time because of studying, and when I went to work after studying, the pressure of going to work was even greater, and there was no time to catch my breath.
Now let her have a second chance to live her childhood, but in order to make the family's life better, she simply forgot that her childhood is now, as long as she wants, she can make up for the regrets of the previous life.
However, if the environment at home is not good, where can it be said that childhood life is happy or unhappy, it seems that no matter in which era the economic base determines the superstructure, this sentence is correct.
Lin He went out with his younger brothers and sisters in the afternoon, and after dinner, the Zhao family went to Dajiang's house with Father Lin and said that he wanted Dajiang and He to go to the patriarch's house with them, and the He family was reluctant to go at first, saying that it was okay to let Dajiang go alone, so she didn't go, but the Zhao family asked the He family to go, and the person who offended the patriarch last time was the He family, and he must go to accompany the patriarch in person.
When the group arrived at the patriarch's house, the patriarch was smoking dry tobacco in the courtyard, and the patriarch didn't get up when he saw them coming, but the patriarch's daughter-in-law moved a stool for Daddy Lin and Zhao to sit down, and Da Jiang and He stood there, and no one cared about them.
Father Lin looked at the patriarch's attitude and laughed dryly, and said, "Patriarch, brother, have you been okay lately, and your body is still healthy?" ”
The patriarch saw that it was Father Lin, and he also smiled and said, "TOEFL, my body is still strong, there are a lot of things in this village, and my brother didn't say to go and see it when he came back, you see that you sent so many things last time, this is really sorry." ”
Although the patriarch said this, there was no trace of unbearable look on his face, and his face was faint.
Here the Zhao family was also talking to the patriarch's daughter-in-law, and when he saw that Da Jiang and the He family were still there, they pushed them, and then Da Jiang reacted, handed over the things in his hand and said, "Patriarch, we plan to go back to the village to live, no, you see we just arrived at home, and we came to visit you." ”
The patriarch glanced at Da Jiang, and didn't pick up anything, "Isn't this Da Jiang, didn't you make a fortune in the town, didn't you say that you won't come back in this life, what's going on now, how did you come back?" ”
The patriarch knew about Lin Dajiang's family, but he was still angry about what happened last time, so he deliberately said this to lower Dajiang's face.
Oe had a sneering face, didn't know how to answer, and stood there with something in his hand.
Father Lin hurriedly said, "Patriarch, look at what you say, the Dajiang family is just opening a small shop in the town to make a living, where to make a lot of money, something happened to the family, and they came back." Besides, this Linjia Village is their root, where will they go if they don't come back, they will always come back, patriarch, don't be angry with them, they are too ignorant to have today. ”
Father Lin also made a look at Da Jiang and the He family, Da Jiang put the things next to the patriarch, and said at the same time, "Patriarch, I'm not sensible, I'm here to accompany you, and please don't worry about me, it's a little interesting here, please accept it." ”
Although the He family was a little unconvinced, thinking that he was just a patriarch with such a big shelf, he still followed Dajiang and made a big gift to the patriarch.
The patriarch looked at them with a good attitude of admitting their mistakes, and looked at some things at his feet, and the anger in his heart also disappeared, and no matter how angry he was, it would be useless, after all, he was a patriarch, and he couldn't do too much, and when the time came, let people say that he was the patriarch unfair, and it was not good to say it.
Then he said, "Come back to the village, live a good life in the future, don't bring back the messy habits from the past, although Linjia Village is poor, but these bad habits are still gone, you have to review some yourself." ”
Da Jiang knew that the patriarch was talking about his son's gambling, although he was not happy on the face, but who let his son not be angry, and it was not wrong for the patriarch to beat him like this as the head of the clan.
I had to respond respectfully, Daddy Lin and the patriarch also exchanged a few words, and the family went back, and the patriarch saw their family go back, shook his head and entered the house.
