A ray of light shines on his face through the worn window paper, Lin Shu opened his eyes, felt much better than yesterday, and sat up to take the jacket of the kang corner.

The door was gently pushed open, and Cai Erniang walked in with a steaming, fragrant coarse porcelain bowl in her hand. Her face overflowed with strong maternal love, and she said softly, "Zhu'er, you are awake." My mother stewed chicken soup for you, hurry up and drink it hot, and there are many more, my mother hid it and kept it to drink slowly. ”

Cai Er Niangzi's voice was soft and soft, with a little smugness. It's a bit childish.

Lin Zhu was moved to tears and almost flowed out, in his previous life, he left home for ten years, his parents were in his hometown, and they only saw each other in a year or even a few years, although her mother also loved her and loved her. It's a pity that she didn't feel much, she just took it for granted.

Coming to this world that does not belong to her at all, being loved and cared for by this woman who is the same age as her in her previous life, a warmth that has never been felt before ripples in her heart.

At the same time, I also felt very uncomfortable in my heart, and a chicken coop was fenced off in a corner of the vegetable garden, and there were at least thirty or forty chickens in it, not to mention stewing one for her, even ten or eight. However, more than half of these chickens are raised by Dai Yanfu, and a small half are owned by Lin Zhang's family, who will come to collect eggs and check on her chickens almost every day.

The chickens are all fed by Cai Erniang, but she can't be the owner of an egg, let alone a chicken.

She got dressed and got off the kang, took the chicken soup and took a sip. The chicken soup is very light, fragrant, numb, and has the taste of peppercorns, but it has a fishy smell, and it doesn't seem to be salted.

Cai Er Niangzi looked at her from the side and said, "Zhu'er, drink quickly." There was no salt at home, so my mother put peppercorns. ”

There is no salt. It seems to be out of gas.

The rice without oil and salt seems to have been eaten for several days. It's just that she had something on her mind a few days ago, and she didn't taste anything she ate.

I've never experienced eating without salt or oil, I don't know if it's okay, and I can't drink a sip when I know it. The faint fishy smell just now has become stronger. She looked at the second lady who was full of anticipation, gritted her teeth and took a few sips, forcing herself to swallow. Then he returned the bowl to her and said, "Mother, drink it." Zhu'er can't drink anymore. ”

Cai Er Niangzi glanced at most of the bowl of soup in the bowl, and said with a relieved smile: "If you can't drink it, you won't drink it, and the rest of the mother will hide it for you and drink it at noon." ”

Do you want to drink it at noon?

Lin Zhu stood on the ground and watched her mother's thin figure go to the vegetable cellar next to the kitchen with half a bowl of chicken soup, knowing that she was going to hide the chicken soup in the vegetable cellar.

After thinking about it, I picked up a comb, combed my hair, and walked out of the house. The sun had risen, and the second cabbage was collecting cabbage in the northwest corner with a sickle, and the cabbage with yellow skin was cut down by him with a sickle and thrown into a pile.

She walked over slowly, bent down to pick up one, and peeled off the withered yellow coat, revealing the delicate and tender body of the vegetable inside.

There are two kinds of cabbage cut by the second cabbage, one is white and tender, and the vegetable stalks and leaves are all white, and the other is that the leaves are verdant and the vegetable stalks are white. The cabbage is all wrapped in porcelain, and it is heavy in your hand.

Although she is not familiar with growing vegetables, she knows the quality of vegetables. I also know that the more porcelain the cabbage bun in this season, the better.

So he picked a few larger ones, peeled off the outer skins, and put them in a basket.

Cai Er thought she was going to help transport the cabbage to the vegetable cellar, but she didn't look up and said, "Zhu'er, your body hasn't recovered yet, go back and lie down." These vegetable dads will be picked up with a load for a while. Don't peel the yellow cabbage leaves outside, you can't store them if you peel them. ”

Lin Zhu walked back with the basket and replied casually.

She didn't go to the cellar, but went out.

The vegetable garden is facing the back gate of the Yan Mansion, the courtyard wall of the Yan Mansion is high and thick, all of them are cut of green bricks, and there is a dirt road that can accommodate a carriage between the low and dilapidated half-fence and half-adobe wall of the vegetable garden, like an alley, Lin Zhu stood outside the gate and looked at it, and walked to the side.

The dirt road is a trail that leads to a place with a lot of houses.

It should be a densely populated place.

Her body was very weak, and she walked for a while and stood on the side of the road to rest for a while, and it took a long time to come to a place where there were houses, which turned out to be a street. There is a gatehouse at the corner of the street, which reads: Tianmen Town.

The street is neither wide nor long, and there are several shops on both sides, including restaurants, cloth shops, grocery stores, and grain stores. There are also a few small vendors.

She carried the basket into the street, saw a small wooden two-story building: Juxian Building, thought about it and walked in.

It's still early before the meal time, there is no guy at the door to greet her, she entered the door without looking at the furnishings inside, went straight to the counter, and saw a middle-aged man standing inside, talking to a young man in brocade clothes outside the counter.

She put the basket at her feet, the counter was a little higher than hers, she stood on tiptoe and looked up at the middle-aged man with kind eyebrows and asked, "Uncle, do you want cabbage, fresh watery cabbage?" ”

Her voice is very good, with clear articulation and a childlike voice.

The middle-aged man turned his face and saw that her face was pale, her neck was slender, and there were still scratches on her face, but her hair was neatly combed, and her eyes were bright and clear. A pair of small hands are lying on the counter, the sleeves of the shirt are stacked with patches, and the eyes are full of anticipation.

I suddenly had a good impression in my heart, and poked my head out and asked, "Little girl, where is your food?" Let me see. ”

Lin Shu lifted the basket up.

The man looked at the vegetables in the basket, nodded and smiled, and said, "Little girl, your cabbage is good, how can you sell it?" ”

Lin Zhu said: "Uncle, is it enough for these cabbages to exchange for two catties of salt?" ”

She didn't know the price of cabbage, let alone the price of salt, so she just changed it.

The man smiled slightly, glanced at the boy outside the counter, saw that he was smiling silently, and nodded.

Business went very smoothly, Lin Zhu took two catties of salt wrapped in horse dung paper, put a few cabbages in the basket neatly on the counter, thanked him, and walked out.

The young man outside the counter smiled meaningfully, watched her thin and thin body step out of the high threshold, hurriedly said a word to the middle-aged man, and followed.
