Chapter 9: To the Town
86_86881With yesterday's experience in loosening the soil, the forest fish has made a lot of progress in digging the pit, but the blisters on her hands hurt when she touched it, she went back to the house and took two old clothes for the apricots to learn from her wrapped on the handle to finally be able to persevere. During the period, Lin Yu asked Apricot why he didn't come, and Apricot said angrily, "It's not that I'm going out with my mother again, he can count the days he was at home during the day, and it was rare to see him yesterday." β
Lin Yu guessed that Apricot was not very willing to talk about her mother, and she didn't like to always discuss other people's family affairs, so she changed the topic after answering. The two talked and laughed and were busy for most of the day, and finally planted all the selected soybeans.
Apricot came to help for two days, and did some physical work, at noon Lin Yu was embarrassed to let people go back to eat by themselves, so he tried to make the sorghum porridge and fish soup more decent, and left the apricots for Qiang to eat.
After planting the soybean and forest, I wanted the apricots to eat dinner and then go back, but the apricots didn't agree, and joked that she knew that her family had just a little bit of food that Grandma Jean brought over, and she was embarrassed to eat it all the time, and said that the fish soup was too light without salt, and she tasted tasteless, and when the conditions were good in the future, she would definitely come to eat every day.
Knowing that the apricots were telling the truth, the little grain and the fish were all eaten sparingly, and they were only used to cook porridge, but they didn't dare to cook dry rice, so there was not much left. The fish soup is even more tasteless without salt, although she is also greasy to eat, but the three sisters and brothers have to fill their stomachs, right? I haven't eaten apricots like this, so I must feel that they are not delicious and unbearable.
After listening to Apricot's words, Lin Yu was no longer embarrassed for her, and only smiled and said okay, when she gets better in the future, she is welcome to come every day, and it is best not to leave. They didn't know that these words came true, and the two had to live together because of the great change.
When Apricot was leaving, she told her father that her father would come to the town early the next morning and let Lin Yu go directly to their house, and Lin Yu repeatedly agreed.
After dinner, Lin Yu put away the snake skin and snake gall that had been put on the stove to dry, thinking that if there was a pharmacy willing to accept it, it would have one more supplement.
Because they had to get up early on the second day, Lin Yu asked the family to go to bed early, and before going to bed, he told SΓΉ Ling'er and Qi'er that he would go to the town tomorrow morning, so that they could not go anywhere, and they had to stay at home obediently as usual. The two children had moved from the town to the countryside, and naturally knew the excitement in the market, and they were clamoring to go too, and Lin Yu promised to take them there in the future. Later, I was afraid that they would go out to look for her after waiting for her for too long tomorrow, so I told them to stay at home and not go out no matter what.
Early the next morning, as soon as the chickens in the village crowed for the first time, the forest fish got up. Last night, because I knew that I was going out today, I cooked more, and the forest fish heated the porridge and filled a bowl for himself, and left the rest in the pot and waited for the two children to get up and eat it.
After eating, she cleaned up a qiΔ, and then she took the package containing snake skin and snake gall and went out of the door and walked to Apricot's house.
There was an ox cart parked outside the fence of Apricot House, the cart was open, and there were already some things piled up on it, and a strong man was resisting the things and came out, and took a picture with the forest fish who had just arrived at the door.
Lin Yu was very embarrassed, looking at the man's body size was only in his thirties, but he was also a person in his thirties, but he wanted to call someone uncle, and he had to ask someone for help. But the man had already spoken: "It's a fish, right?" Wait a minute, I'll take out some of the more things and leave. β
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he heard what people said, and immediately replied briskly: "Uncle Zhuzi, I'm a fish, I'm not in a hurry if you are busy slowly." β
"Eh, that's it, it's going to be right away." Uncle Zhu had already put the things on his shoulders on the car when he spoke, and after saying something to Lin Yu, he went back to the yard.
On the evening of early spring, the courtyard of Apricot House was very quiet, only the place where Apricot and his father took things and the stove room had some faint lights, and Lin Yu stood outside the fence and waited quietly for Uncle Zhu. Suddenly, there was an apricot cry in her throat from the fence gate: "Sister Xiaoyu...... Sister Xiaoyu ......"
"Apricot, are you up?" When the forest heard the call, he hurried to the door.
"Well, my grandma and my dad don't want me to go, I'll tell you. But don't worry, my dad is a good ......," Kyoko whispered.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Listening to Apricot's words, Lin Yu replied that this child dared to treat her like a chicken in need of protection.
"Well, the town is not far away, and it won't be long before you arrive, and later you will give her father an estimate of how much it weighs, so as not to be cheated......" Apricot thought of herself as a hen that guarded the chickens, and told the forest fish in a babbling voice.
"Got it, don't worry so much, I'll be careful......" The Lynch Ninja laughed back.
As he was talking, Uncle Zhu had already resisted things and came out, and Apricot called sweetly: "Dad...... I'll talk to Sister Xiaoyu for a while......"
Lin Yu also shouted: "Uncle Zhuzi." β
Uncle Zhu agreed, and said: "Your grandmother is cooking, why don't you go and help, be careful that your mother takes the lead in the queue for you......" As he spoke, he stacked things on the car, and said: "Don't worry, Sister Yu, your father is not a beast in troubled waters......"
Dare to listen to the words of the two just now. Apricot stuck out her tongue: "Dad~~ I didn't say anything bad about you, I said good things about you in front of Sister Xiaoyu......"
"Okay, okay, go and help your milk, what are you doing with these Raushs......" Uncle Zhu put things away, patted the apricot head twice, and then turned to Lin Yu and said: "Yu'er, it's going to be fine soon, Uncle Zhu takes the last ......"
"Okay, Uncle Zhuzi." Lin Yu replied.
Apricot also turned around and walked into the house, turning around: "Sister Xiaoyu, I'm in, don't worry......"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was patted on the head by Uncle Zhuzi again: "You girl...... Your father is going to be sad, ah......"
Lin Yu listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't help but smile.
By the time Uncle Zhu came out with his things again, the sky was already numb. Zhu Zi was a little embarrassed to let Lin Yu wait for so long, so he quickly let her into the car and sat in the driver's seat.
The countryside is full of dirt roads, when it rains, the deep foot and shallow foot of the place become potholes after drying, the ox cart walks on it and the bump is very bad, and the ox cart has no shock absorption function, Lin Yu sits on the car and feels that the buttocks are blooming.
When Lin Yu felt that his butt was really unbearable and was about to change his position, the ox cart finally got on the official road, although it was only paved with gravel, the bumps were much better, and Lin Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The road just now was too difficult to walk, and if I continued to walk, I guess I would have to fall apart first.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and after the road was good, Lin Yu had some leisure to observe the surroundings. The ox cart walked out of the road for about four or five miles, but there was no trace of the mountains on both sides of the road, and there were farmlands and villages as far as the eye could see, and the roofs of the nearby villages were smoking.
Lin Yu came back to his senses and looked at Uncle Zhu who was driving in front of him. When they set off just now, it was still relatively dark, and they could only take a rough look, and then the road was not easy to walk, and Lin Yu's attention had been fighting against the uncomfortable buttocks, and now that the road was flat, she had the opportunity to take a closer look, after all, when they arrived in the town, it was inevitable that they would be separated when there were too many people, and if they couldn't even remember the appearance of the people, they should not make jokes.
From the rear, Uncle Zhuzi should be wearing the dark brown coarse cloth that farmers usually wear in this era, his complexion is slightly dark, and he can't see the front clearly, but from the side, it looks very similar to apricots.
Just as I was thinking about it, the houses on both sides of the road began to increase, and a commotion came from the front.
The pillar slowed down, turned around and told her that she had arrived, and said, "I'll go to Fujia Restaurant to deliver these game meat first, do you want to follow me or will you gather here later?" β
Lin Yu really wanted to run errands separately from Uncle Zhuzi, but it was the first time she had traveled so far from home since she came here, and although she could still roughly remember the roads and houses in the town in her memory, she didn't know how to calculate the value of the silver and what things she could buy, so she thought for a while and replied: "Uncle Zhuzi, if you don't think I'm in the way, can I come with you?" I don't know how to buy things. β
Uncle Zhu listened to Lin Yu's words, and secretly blamed himself, what does such a big girl know? Let her go wandering around by herself and not get lost? Fortunately, she was still smart and knew that she was with adults, so she said: "It's Uncle Zhuzi who didn't think about it, you should have been with me, lest I go back later and blame Apricot for not taking good care of you!" Don't worry, I sell these things with acquaintances, and it won't take long. β
Lin Yu hurriedly said no, and he was not in a hurry, so he was okay with Uncle Zhuzi.
This town is called Huaikou Town, the town is not big, there are only two horizontal and vertical streets, today is not a market day, but it is still very lively. Lin Yu knows that this is because this port is not far away, and there are many boats here to replenish food or stay in the hotel to rest, so there are many restaurants and inns, and most of the business is good.
Uncle Zhuzi's Fujia Restaurant is the largest restaurant here, and the people who can come in and out to consume are either rich or expensive, and they like to order some special dishes, especially this game. Because the integrity of the restaurant will not arbitrarily lower the price, as long as Uncle Zhu and other hunters in the village come back from hunting prey, they will send it here, and every time they are sent, no matter how many restaurants there are, they will definitely accept all the orders
