Chapter 2 Linjia Village
Just thinking about it, Sanya said, "This white flour was sent by the mother of the second dog yesterday, and the mother said that you have a head injury, and you should make up for it, and left a white flour steamed bun for you to eat." ”
Oh, so that's the case, Lin He said that it's strange that such a poor family can still have white flour steamed buns for dinner.
Sanya pushed the porridge and steamed buns to Lin He and said, "Sister, you eat quickly, the weather is cold, the cold is fast, and it won't taste good when it's cold." ”
Lin He touched her head, and when she was about to stuff the steamed bun into her mouth, she saw Sanya staring at the steamed bun with blank eyes, Lin He broke half of the steamed bun and handed it to her, "Eat." ”
Sanya shook her head and refused to answer, "This is what my mother said that the second sister hit her head yesterday and kept it for you to eat, I have eaten brown rice porridge in the morning and am already full." ”
Lin He smiled bitterly, such a young child already understands so many things, and the environment is really compelling, so he still stuffed half a piece of steamed bread to Sanya and said, "Sister is already full after eating half a steamed bun and drinking a bowl of porridge, this half can't be eaten, you can help me eat it." ”
After all, even a child still couldn't resist the temptation of this white-flour steamed bun, so he took it, stuffed it into his mouth in three or two bites, and made a sound of satisfaction, "It's so delicious, I haven't eaten it for a long time." ”
Lin He listened to his sour nose, in his previous life, so many people wasted so much food for such and such reasons, and now this little child is so happy because of a white-flour steamed bun, it is really distressing.
But Lin He couldn't think about it so much, so he quickly stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth, drank a mouthful of brown rice porridge, and almost didn't spit it out It was bitter and astringent, the rice was still difficult to swallow, and when he swallowed it, Le's throat hurt. But Lin He knew that he had to recognize this fact and had to get used to this kind of life.
After breakfast, Lin He and Sanya planned to go to their younger brother.
Lin He took Sanya's hand and walked slowly outside, and walked to the gate of the courtyard, Sanya turned around and closed the tattered door. Lin He is also funny when he thinks about it, in such a poor and white family, who else will steal things, but he also sighs that children at this time are really sensible, and they can already do a lot of things at a young age.
Because Lin He is used to living in modern times, he has seen a lot of the superior life of modern children, in ancient times, children of four or five years old were like this, except for not being able to go to the field to farm, most of the things can be undertaken, such as taking younger brothers and sisters, doing housework, these must be done, and the children of the poor have long been in charge.
Lin He and Sanya walked forward slowly, Lin He took a look at this place, the village is very large, the distance between the houses is very scattered, each family occupies a large area, each house has a small yard in front of and behind, the yard has a gate, and it is a small yard when you go in, and then there is a house inside. If the wealthier people have pigs and chickens at home, they can keep them in the small yard behind the house.
In ancient times, this was good, but there was a lot of land, and the area of the house could be built into a large villa in modern times.
Just thinking about it, there was a person in front of him calling "Erya Erya" Lin He raised his head and saw that it was a middle-aged woman calling her, she didn't know who it was, the middle-aged woman was a little fat, she looked very kind, she kept smiling on her face, and she was holding a handful of green leafy vegetables that looked like wild vegetables in her hand.
Lin He asked, "Are you?"
The middle-aged woman put away her smile with a question mark on her face.
Sanya immediately said, "This is Ergouzi's mother, sister, you don't remember, we all call her Aunt Xu, Aunt Xu is good." ”
He turned to Aunt Xu again and said, "Aunt Xu, my sister fell on her head, I can't remember some things, it's okay." ”
Aunt Xu then put her mind at ease and said, "It's all the second dog in my family, his father slapped him hard last night, but fortunately, it's not a big deal, otherwise it won't be a big deal." ”
Lin He smiled, "Aunt Xu, it's okay, Ergouzi didn't mean it, I'm fine, you see." Lin He intuitively felt that this Aunt Xu was a good person, and she should be very familiar with her family, so she also said a few words politely.
Aunt Xu said, "Well, the second girl, I don't know if there will be scars, the doctor said that the good thing is that the wound is not deep, there should be no scars, if there are small scars at that time, you can also buy some ointment to rub, it should be fine." ”
Lin He smiled, and then walked forward with Erya and Aunt Xu, Aunt Xu seemed to say that she was going to the front and pulled some pigweed to feed the pigs, and walked with them all the way, Aunt Xu chattered all the way, all of which were things in the village that Lin He said.
It turns out that this village is called Linjia Village, most of the people in the village are surnamed Lin, and there are also some outsiders, not surnamed Lin, like Aunt Xu's family just now, the village is very large, there are about more than 200 households, but it is also divided into Shanglinjia Village and Xialinjia Village, which is equivalent to a village divided into two parts, Lin He's family belongs to Xialinjia Village, there are more than 100 households, the people in this village are not rich, and most of the people rely on farming to make a living.
Many people do not have their own land, they are tenants to plant, tenants are a family surnamed Xia landlord's land, Xia landlord's family has more than 1,000 acres of fertile land, all tenant to the people of Linjia Village, the people in the village have to pay rent every year in addition to the tenant land, the grain collected is not enough for their own people to eat, so the people in the village are poor like this, but like the people of Lin He's family is a very poor one, because there are many children in the family, less labor, not enough rations, naturally poor.
Lin He and Aunt Xu also learned that the original dynasty was called the Yun Dynasty, which should not belong to any era in history, it was a dynasty that was hollowed out by history, and the crops here did not belong to any place in the previous life, anyway, there were also those in the south and those in the north, and the people here mainly planted wheat and corn, and there were also crops like rice, but there were very few people who planted them, because the yield per mu was very small, and the seeds were very expensive.
The general situation is also understood, Aunt Xu went to another path to pull pigweed, Sanya and Lin He continued to walk forward, walked for about a few minutes, and a child shouted under a tree in front of him, "Second sister, third sister, I'm here." ”
Lin He looked forward, a child about three years old was wearing a short coat, and there were two patches on the short coat, the child was very thin, but it was much better than Sanya and himself, and his basic face was normal, thinking that it should be because he was the eldest in the family and a boy after all.
Sanya shouted, "Xiaobao, go home." ”
Xiaobao obediently walked over, took Sanya's hand, and looked at Lin He, who smiled at him and said, "Xiaobao, come and hug my sister."
Xiaobao said in a milky voice, "Don't, my sister is injured, Xiaobao has grown up, and she can go by herself." As he spoke, he deliberately ran two steps.
Lin He saw him running staggeringly, for fear that he would fall, and said, "Second sister knows that you have grown up, come, come here." ”
Xiaobao came over and took Lin He's hand and walked back together, and when he got home, Lin He found a small bench to sit on in the courtyard, watching Xiaobao and Sanya running around in the yard and having fun.
Lin He was thinking, what should he do if his family is so poor, how to live his life. There are only two laborers in the family, a lot of food, and they are all children who are growing their bodies, so they can't go on like this forever, they have to find something to do.
When he came back to his senses, Lin He felt that he was really used to living in the stressful world in his previous life, and as soon as he came here, he thought about life problems, and he was not in a hurry at this time, and what could he do with this body when he was still so young, take his time.
Lin He looked at a few trees planted in the courtyard, he didn't know what kind of tree it was, and the leaves fell all over the courtyard, so he asked Sanya to ask for a broom made of reeds and slowly swept it up. Although there is nothing in the house, but a little clean, it will always be more comfortable, first clean the two houses, wipe the few pieces of furniture with a rag, sweep the floor, and then clean the kitchen and then carefully sweep the yard.
