Chapter 186: Help
Lin Zhang rushed into the kitchen, pointed at Lin Yun and scolded, a pair of cloudy eyes quickly scanned everywhere several times, but it was empty.
There was nothing to eat. 、
Anger rises. Breathlessly, I bent down with great difficulty and lifted a few jars and jars to check them, but there was nothing. I lifted the top cylinder head again, and there was nothing at all.
She shouted at Lin Yun: "Eat things inside and outside, what are you eating?" ”
Lin Yun didn't dare to say that he had eaten the noodles, and muttered: "It's just some stewed vegetables, and the bran noodles are festive." ”
Lin Zhang said: "It's all gone? You two have no money, and I don't know if you can go home and see if your ancestors have eaten it. Hurry up and find me two big potatoes to steam and get some yellow batter for Noble. ”
Lin Yun hurriedly put down the rag he had been holding for a long time, and prepared to go home after Lin Zhang. I was thinking about how to get the big potatoes from the cellar. The second uncle and aunt were originally busy working on the wooden house next to the house, and when they heard Lin Zhang's voice, they hid and didn't know where they went. Lin Zhu hurriedly carried the swill to the vegetable garden to feed the pigs.
The owner of the vegetable garden is not there, can she go down to the vegetable cellar on her own initiative? I still want to count on a few full meals in the vegetable garden these days, and the most important thing is whether I can see Young Master Jin Zhen. Now the table at this critical moment is a little better.
Lin Zhangshi scolded and turned around to go out, turned his head, and saw a paper bag on the wooden shelf on the pot table.
What is placed on the top of the pot must be either seasoning or ingredients. She quickly took it down at a speed that was very inappropriate for her age, and opened it to see that it was a packet of salt for white flowers.
The angry heart suddenly turned into a furious one.
Although salt is not in short supply now as it was two or three years ago. It's scary to be as expensive as it gets. The food at home was almost tasteless, and the family's faces were a little blue.
This bag of salt is at least a pound. Save a little on food, and you can use it for two months.
She hurriedly bowed her head and walked out. Although her son and daughter-in-law were cowardly and didn't dare to provoke her, that damn money-loser was not easy to talk to. This bag of salt may be a reward from the master of the house.
When I walked to the gate of the vegetable garden, I remembered something, and when I turned around, I saw Lin Duo holding Xiao Lebao. I wanted to call her home together, but suddenly remembered that there weren't many people at home. When I entered the vegetable garden just now, I saw a few corn cobs hanging on the sour jujube fence, which looked not very ripe, and I thought that which of the Yanfu kitchen helpers brought it from home to try it, but he was a little old, so he hung it up for his son. Originally, she wanted to take these old sticks back if she couldn't find anything to eat. Grind the storefront for the little grandson to eat. But now there is salt that is worth a lot more than the old corn. The corn cob will be left here for now.
Although the second daughter-in-law is an honest Muna, she doesn't dare to be angry or speak in front of her, but she has an excellent heart and will feed her little grandson.
She fled out of the garden gate.
Suddenly remembered that the second lady who returned to the kitchen quickly saw the empty stove shelf, and wanted to cry without tears. There is also less salt and no oil at home. Relying on the coarse salt of pickled vegetables given by the house, it barely lasted two months.
Now I finally gave the kindness of the shopkeeper Qi, but I just wanted to hide the noodles and forget the salt for a while.
Lin Zhu, who came back from feeding the pigs, just glanced at her mother's expression, and understood everything, and she forgot about it for a while just now.
comforted the second lady and said, "Mother, forget it." Take it all, it's useless to be angry. Let's just be careful in the future. You can rest assured. My daughter will definitely let you eat rice with salt and oil. ”
Cai Er Niangzi glanced at her daughter weakly, wiped her eyes without tears, and said, "Zhu'er." It's not that my mother is distressed. It's your grandmother who deceives people too much. They are all sons, why do they have to rely on us to support the eldest and third family. ”
Not again. Lin Zhu gently stroked the thin shoulders of the second lady of the vegetables. Said, "Mother." Or are we too cowardly and too poor. You wait, in a few years, my daughter will let us live a good life. When the time comes, it's too late for Grandma to stammer. ”
Cai Er Niangzi sighed: "My mother doesn't expect her to slap us, as long as she doesn't bully us, she will burn high incense." ”
Lin Zhu said: "Mother." You can rest assured. She won't bully us anymore. Grandma is bullying us now and using the excuse that my mother didn't give birth to a son. When the doctor came, he cured my father and mother, and gave birth to a few younger brothers and sisters. Let's see what else she has to say. ”
Cai Erniang's face showed a shallow shyness. said, "I don't know if your father will let the family doctor see it." ”
"Yes." Lin Zhu said with certainty.
Young Master Jin Zhen said that he wanted to help, he had a high-end mysterious medicine like a mystery. I'm not afraid of being confused and can't be honest.
Cai Er Niangzi is now trusting her daughter to the point of worship, and a halo of longing appeared on her face that was still miserable just now. Cai Er, who was also busy washing his hands, hurriedly flashed into the house.
He heard the conversation between his wife and daughter, and his heart became flustered. He said it firmly, and he wanted to firmly insist on his firmness. But his wife's longing eyes and the tears of humiliation when he was scolded by his mother also made him blame himself.
When he entered the house, it was already dark, he touched the fire sickle and lit the oil lamp, and shouted to the outside: "Zhu'er Niang, bring a basin of water." ”
The voice was a little louder, and I could hear the baby's cry outside the door, and it sounded like a sound.
At this age, I began to like children and became sensitive to children's crying. He hurriedly walked out of the house, and saw the dim kitchen side wall at a glance, and Lin Duo was trembling with the little Noble Treasure.
He hurriedly asked, "Duo'er, why are you holding Noble?" Why don't you go back? ”
Lin Duowa cried, just now grandma almost pushed Lin Yun out of the vegetable garden door, in a hurry. Just glanced back at her, and the eyes were very vicious. She understood what it meant to warn her. Tell her not to go back, she will definitely be skinned when she goes back.
She is a teenager, the situation at home is very clear, her father and brother are not good at studying, and her mother is not energetic. Grandma doesn't love her, and she will definitely be angry with her when she comes home.
She knew that it was her task to not be a little brother.
Don't dare to go back. I also want the second aunt's family to have white noodles. I wanted to ask for a bowl of batter for my brother, but I didn't dare to say it. I had to hide on the side of the wall first.
She lowered her head and whispered, "Second uncle, my mother is gone." Grandma was angry and I didn't dare to go back. ”
Caier frowned, this brother's daughter-in-law gave birth to a child as if she was born to her mother. often leave the child's butt and slap it away. Leave the big and small to the old mother. It's so unbelievable!
He said sullenly: "Your father and your mother can bear it." Noble is crying so much, hurry up and hug it in. It's cold outside. ”
Lin Duo hurriedly carried the treasure into the house. It was already very cold at night in the late autumn season, and the face of Noble who was only wearing a belly pocket was blue. Crying with your mouth wide open.
Cai Er felt sad and soft-hearted, how could such a young child stand being cold and hungry. He hurriedly shouted outside: "Zhu'er Niang, Zhu'er." Get Noble something to eat. Bring me your old clothes. ”
Lin Zhu accompanied Cai'er Niangzi to the end of the vegetable garden to put away the hanging gourd, and had already heard the child's heart-rending cry and Caier's shouting, and rushed back together.
Cai Erniangzi hurriedly entered the house, took the treasure in Lin Duo's arms, hurriedly climbed on the kang and wrapped him in a quilt, and said in a loud voice: "It's really evil." Look at the ice on Noble. The second aunt will warm you up. strain. You go get some noodles, and my mother will make batter for Noble. ”
Seeing that his wife was so kind, Cai Er's honest face was piled up with a courteous smile, and he hurriedly said, "I'll go get the noodles and boil the batter." You warm the child first."
His wife's motherly love for the child made him both touched and uncomfortable. The third brother and the third brother's daughter-in-law are lukewarm to the mother, and from time to time they help the mother bully. It's really rare for a wife to be able to treat her nephew like this.
Cai Er Niangzi hurriedly said: "Zhu'er Dad, you come to hug Lai Bao Nuan." I'm going to make the batter. Giving Noble to eat is not like giving it to us. The noodles are fried first and then boiled. Also put some oil and salt to taste. ”
She helped her mother take care of her younger brother at a very young age, and she knew that.
Cai Er hurriedly took off his shoes and got on the kang, and the future treasure was very unskilled and trembling and took it in his arms, with a pair of legs stretched out.
Noble cried with snot and tears all over his face. A small mouth just rubbed in his arms, and snot and tears smeared him.
The child's body was soft, and his little mouth was wet and hot. He felt soft and warm in his heart. There was an inexplicable emotion.
It would be nice if I had such a child myself.
He shook the child awkwardly and muttered something in his mouth. Lin Duolin took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang. The kang was burned by the second lady in the afternoon, and it was very hot.
Cai Er Niangzi quickly brought a bowl of thick batter. Noble was fed with a small wooden spoon.
Noble quickly stopped crying and ate it very sweetly. Almost ate a small bowl.
"You hold it. Give him some more water. ”
Cai Er Niangzi gave Noble some more water. After a while, he fell asleep,
Cai Er Niangzi carefully took the treasure from Cai Er's arms. Place it flat in the middle of the kang with the most suitable temperature and help him cover the quilt.
He said, "Doer, Noble is asleep." It's getting dark again, so I don't think it's better not to go back tonight, so as not to be shocked. ”
It's dark. Children who are too young cannot go out. lest any supernatural events happen. It's exquisite.
Lin Duo lowered his head a little embarrassed. She would love to live in the vegetable garden. The second aunt is very diligent, and the kang in both rooms is very warm. The kang is also comfortable, there are kang mats and kang felts at the bottom, and there are no mattresses on the kang of the forest trees.
There was only a tattered kang mat on her own kang, a shabby quilt with cotton wool exposed. And grandma said that there wasn't much to burn the kang. It's not very cold these days. Burn it again in a few days,
Every day until the middle of the night, she would be woken up by freezing.
But if she didn't go back, she wouldn't dare.
Cai Er's lady said to Cai Er: "Boss, you go and tell your mother, and you will say that Noble is asleep." I'll sleep here tonight. Tomorrow will be sent back in the morning. ”
As soon as Cai Er heard the thorn, he got off the kang, sucked his shoes and went out. Maybe it's because I've been thinking about the doctor these days, and I'm sensitive to children. Just hugged Noble for a short while, and he really wanted him to sleep next to him.
In the past, there were so many children in the eldest brother and third brother, and he didn't have this idea.
Could it be that he is tempted by his daughter's construction?
As soon as the sun rose, Lin Duo took the cute little Noble who was full of food and drink and giggled back to Xiezhuang Pit, and the door sounded the coquettish cry of rhubarb, and when I heard it, Dabao came.
Sure enough, after a while, the thief's big treasure slipped into the fence gate. Holding a paper bag in his hand, he threw away the paper, took out the bones inside and threw it high.
The big yellow dog pounced on a graceful vicious dog, held the bones firmly in his mouth, and after landing on the ground, he took the kennel next to it and ate it slowly.
In view of the fact that Dabao was still angry, Lin Zhuyuan stepped forward and asked with a smile on his face: "Brother Dabao, you are here." ”
Dabao's small eyes flickered a few times and said, "Here it is." Childe asked me to inform you that the Imperial Doctor would be here in the afternoon. ”
After speaking, he ignored Lin Zhu and went straight to Caier.
In the afternoon, the Imperial Doctor will come. Lin Zhu hurriedly walked out of the gate of the vegetable garden and trotted all the way to find Young Master Jin Zhen.
Young Master Jin Zhen said that this kind of help must be secretly helped, and Cai Er must not be allowed to know, let alone Yan Wuwu to find out.
It sounds like Young Master Jin Zhen's ancestral secret recipe is a legend but rarely born, maybe it won't be long before it is a lost heritage-level miracle medicine.
Dabao still held his breath and said a few words to Caier. I turned around to look for Lin Zhu, but there was no one there.
I was not in the mood to continue talking with Caier, and I walked around the vegetable garden for most of the time, and I didn't see the shadow of the forest tree.
What is a girl running around with?
He went out with love, and quickly walked through the fence courtyard wall, and looked around, where there were still forest trees.
An hour later, Young Master Jin Zhen took Jiu'er to the vegetable garden, followed by the tall and burly Li Zhushan, holding a roll of asbestos paper used to make an oil umbrella, one side of which had been coated with tung oil.
When he arrived at the gate of the vegetable garden, Young Master Jin Zhen instructed Li Zhushan again: "Shanzi, if Zhu'er asks about Dingyuan." You say you've never been there. You're just going home. ”
If you go to Dingyuan, you don't flash your face and turn with yourself. Lin Zhu is so smart, she will definitely think about it, and simply deny it, thinking that even if she thinks that she is right, she can think that she must not want to say it. I won't continue to ask questions, and I won't go around talking nonsense.
Li Zhushan nodded in response.
He said to Jiu'er again: "Later, I will go back with Shanzi, you stay and watch, and when the time is ripe, let Cai'er obediently seek medical treatment." ”
The three of them entered the vegetable garden, and the prototype of a small wooden house was ready, and Lin Zhu was holding a wooden board to compare the size of the window.
He said hello and said, "Second Uncle Lin, I have a roll of asbestos paper there, which has been coated with tung oil, which can be used to build a roof for a wooden house." I brought it to you. ”
Asbestos paper, still coated with tung oil. Very expensive.
I think that the oil umbrella made of asbestos paper can only be used by the rich, and a poor person like him only deserves an umbrella coated with tung oil on ordinary rough cardboard.
Cotton paper is already very expensive, and it is also coated with tung oil. It's such a big volume. How much silver does that cost?
He stammered a little and said, "Young Master Jin, how embarrassing is this." ”
I heard Young Master Jin Zhen say, "I don't need it either." It's like you're going to take care of it for me. Shanzi, spread out. ”
Lin Zhushan hurriedly unfolded a roll of cotton paper, and shook it very prominently at Cai Er, and there was a faint fragrance in the air. The fragrance slowly gathered, forming an invisible ribbon of incense that rushed straight to Nanuji's face. (To be continued......)
