After entering the Layue Gate, people were busy as the New Year approached.

On the day of Laba, Cai Er Niangzi woke up Lin Zhu early and said: "Zhu'er, hurry up, my mother has boiled Laba porridge, there are many things in it, including rice, walnut kernels, red dates, red beans, soybeans and longan." This is the material for boiling eight porridge in the house, and Cai's sister-in-law secretly brought a little to her mother yesterday, and there is half a bowl. The porridge is thick, and my mother fished pickles for you. ”

Lin Zhu snorted and fumbled to get dressed. She knows the custom of drinking porridge in Laba.

Yesterday, she saw Aunt Cai, the assistant cook of Yanfu, snatch out a few large handfuls of mixed laba porridge from her pocket and secretly put them into the small bowl served by her mother.

Hurry up and drink, otherwise if grandma and they come, they won't be able to lick the bowl.

This vicious eccentric grandmother is simply ghostly, as if she is watching outside the door every day, and the number of times Yan Wuwu Dabao has come has been less these days, so she comes over every day, sweeping like a Japanese devil. Frightened, her mother hurriedly hid the little white noodles secretly given by Chef Zhu into the vegetable cellar she didn't know.

The three of them stood on the kitchen floor like thieves and drank Laba porridge, Lin Shu licked his lips and said, "Daddy, Laba porridge is so fragrant." ”

Cai Er Niangzi looked at her gently and said, "My mother also left you a bowl, and I will put it in the vegetable cellar later, and you can drink it at night." ”

Lin Zhuxian nodded vigorously.

It's been a long time since I've drunk such fragrant porridge, so it's good to drink it again if you have one.

But Cai Er was a little hesitant and tentatively said: "Zhu'er Niang, don't you give that bowl to my mother, I usually don't have these things." ”

It has only been more than ten years since the founding of the Southern Qin Kingdom, the wounds left by the war have not yet been healed, the lives of the people are still unstable, and food is in short supply.

Cai Er drank the porridge and thought of his mother.

Lin Zhu looked at the second lady and didn't speak, although Lin Zhang's family is fierce, in the end it is his father's mother-in-law, the mother and son are connected, and the son is not reproachful for thinking about the old lady, but that Lin Zhang's family is too eccentric.

She couldn't help hating Lin Zhang's even more, how could such a filial son bear to exploit him as poor and white.

Cai Er Niangzi hurriedly said: "Be in charge." It's not that I don't give my mother a drink, I really don't dare. My mother didn't come alone, she brought a few with her every time, and a bowl was not enough to drink. Besides, if you give her a drink, she will say that we eat alone. ”

She didn't dare to fall into the name of a daughter-in-law.

Cai Er lowered his head silently, it was not easy for his widow to work hard to bring the three eldest brothers, although it was the most harsh to him, after all, it was his own mother, he felt that it was very unfilial not to give his mother something delicious, although his mother scavenged all the things in the house.

But what Zhu'er Niang said was also right, giving it would make her have more to say.

Cai Er Niangzi sighed and whispered: "Otherwise, if the mother comes by herself in a while, I will give it to the mother, saying that Sister-in-law Cai secretly gave it." There is only one bowl. ”

Caiji glanced at his wife gratefully, nodded, and went out to fetch water from the well in the corner.

He knew that the result of saying this would be the same, and his mother would say that they had leftovers, but just say it, anyway, he is used to it. But if you don't give it, you really can't get over it.

Although Lin Zhu saw that the second lady of the vegetable was talking, she was a little reluctant, and smiled and said, "Mother, isn't it just a bowl of porridge, let's give it to grandma." No matter how bad she is, she is also my father's mother. The son is not ugly and the son is not poor. ”

If before, she couldn't understand Caier's behavior, what would her mother be filial to him like this.

But these days, she can understand such a thing as blood, in her previous life, she had also left home with her parents, but now if she has the opportunity, she would rather let her parents treat her even like grandma treats her father.

Cai Er Niangzi heard that her daughter was sensible, and sighed again: "Zhu'er, it's not that my mother is reluctant, my mother shuddered when she thought of her attitude towards our family." You said that your father and your uncle and third uncle were born to her, why did she treat your father as a cow and a horse. ”

Lin Zhu said: "Isn't there a saying that the big one loves the small one, and the one in the middle is angry." Mother, just give her a drink. ”

This Lin Zhang is scathing and mean, tricky and spicy, but he has a filial son. This world is really unfair.

She sighed to herself, washed her face and combed her hair, and carried a bucket of swill from the kitchen of Yanfu to feed the three fat pigs with smooth fur in the pigsty separated from the corner of the garden.

Only then did he open the door of the pigsty, and the three fat pigs lying in the mound immediately rushed in front of the trough with their short tails, raised their wrinkled foreheads, opened their wide and lovely double eyelids and round eyes, and inhaled their round pig noses.

Lin Zhu picked up the pig food scoop and scooped up a scoop of swill and poured it into the food trough, and said in his mouth: "It's delicious, it's fat." By the twenty-third day of the lunar month, you should be knifed, or you are good, you only know that melons eat melons and sleep, and this life will be over, unlike people, who have worked hard all their lives, just for a mouth. In the end, it's still a death. ”

The three pigs didn't care what she said, and their mouths seemed to be eating the most delicious thing in the world.

The last bit of swill was poured into the pig trough, and she straightened up and carried the bucket of swill out of the pigsty.

The first time I fed the pigs, it felt pretty good.

I saw Lin Zhang's taking Lin Yunlin Duo into the vegetable garden, and Cai Er, who was about to come to the pigsty washer with a pouting head, hurriedly put down his pouting and greeted him, and Cai Er Niangzi also hurriedly greeted him.

Lin Zhang's usual count of his son and daughter-in-law in the past left a few words, and then went to the chicken coop in the other corner to check his eggs, Lin Yun Lin Duo followed closely behind her, grandma said that if ten chickens lay more than eight eggs, they would be given to them. Lin Yun had already saved five, and Lin Duo also had four. If you save up to ten, you can buy two ribbons to tie your hair. You can also bring a few head flowers.

But at a glance, I saw Lin Zhu, who was carrying a swill bucket, combing his hair in a double bun, tied with colorful ribbons, and wearing beautiful tassels, looking delicate and delicate.

Such ribbons are more expensive than the average one, requiring twenty eggs.

Lin Yun's handsome little face suddenly sank, and he saw that Lin Zhu was wearing new cotton clothes and pants, covered with an emerald armor. And the clothes she wore were half-new. Angry, he stepped forward in front of Lin Shu and said, "Zhu'er, where did your ribbon come from?" Didn't you buy it by stealing grandma's eggs? ”

I don't accept the lesson at all, and I dare to find fault.

Lin Shu put down the swill bucket heavily, stared at her and said, "What's wrong with stealing?" This is the vegetable garden of Yanfu, and I am the maid of Yanfu. If you steal it, you will also steal Yanfu. The master of the Yan Mansion didn't say anything. What the are you, how old are you? ”

Lin Zhang's is old, and he is his father's mother, sometimes he doesn't have to worry too much, a little girl of the same age as himself is so domineering, he has to teach a good lesson.

Lin Yun was shocked, and then remembered that this Lin Zhu was no longer the one she used to give her obediently if she wanted anything. I'm going to let her bully the fool.

But the attraction of this ribbon is too great, and there is that dazzling green bicarature. This is something she often thinks about in her dreams, and she takes it to chance. He stretched out his hand and said in a commanding manner: "Don't scare me with your master, I'm not scared." Obediently bring me this bime and ribbon, or I want you to look good. ”

After speaking, he widened his eyes and rolled up his sleeves.

What she wanted before, Lin Zhu was a little reluctant, as long as she did these two actions, she would immediately be scared and stupid, and give it to her obediently.

But today, Lin Zhu didn't buy it at all, and said coldly: "Why should I give you my things?" ”

Lin Yun glanced at Lin Duo, who was following closely behind, puffed up his chest and said, "Give me your things, bring them, or give you a good look." Lin Duo hurriedly clenched his fists and agreed: "Yes, I want you to look good." ”

She also wanted the ribbon, and the tassel made her greedy.

It's also threatened. Is this going to be a fight? Lin Zhu lifted the swill bucket and was ready to fight back. Firmly said: "I won't give it to you, what are you going to do." ”
