Chapter 221: The Difficult Book at Home
Yan Wuwu calmly and calmly ate a small plate of Lin Zhu's own hands, only adding some dried red pepper and garlic cloves, and the smooth, tender, white and greasy small mushrooms that were stir-fried in one go. took the white silk handkerchief handed over by Lin Zhu and wiped his mouth, threw it casually and said: "It's okay, send a little to the back kitchen before the New Year, and ask the old lady to taste it, she should be appetizing when she is old enough to eat this." ”
Affirmed. Lin Zhu hurriedly said: "The slave remembers. The slave also planted a few small spinach, would you like to drink some spinach egg soup? ”
Childe finally came once, and he had to behave well. I'm counting on this little thing to get rich. She stared at Yan Wuwu expectantly.
Can you grow green spinach in winter? Yan Wuwu was a little skeptical, could it be that he buried the autumn spinach in the vegetable cellar and pretended to be. ,
Last winter, he had seen Lin Tong take out the spinach from the vegetable cellar and bury it with soil, although it was still verdant and verdant, but there was no moisture.
He had planned to get up and go back and meet her eyes, but finally did not act. A little difficult to say: "Spinach egg soup? Fast or not. Ben Gongzi is still in a hurry to go back. “
If you dare to lie to him, you will bear the consequences.
"Quickly, quickly. Childe, do you want to go and see where I grow vegetables first, or the materials you asked Dabao to send? With a flattered exaggerated expression, Lin Zhu rushed out of the house and entered the wooden house like a little rabbit, quickly locked the sprouts of the spinach, pinched them off with his hands, and hurriedly ran out, and crashed into the arms of Yan Wuwu, who was accompanied by Caier to visit the wooden house, with a very wide chest.
Lin Shu jumped a few steps back like a bounce back. Said stupidly: "Childe, the slave and maid are in a bit of a hurry, Childe will look first, and the slave and maid will make spinach egg soup." ”
After saying that, he lowered his head in a panic and ran out, a pair of clear and agile eyes turned around like a deer. The heart of the shaking Yan worry-free went up and down.
The heart that had sunk for a few days slowly dispersed.
He felt in an instant good mood.
It turns out that I am in a bad mood these days and is easily irritable, but I don't see these eyes.
He slowly crouched down and looked at the few spinach sprouts growing inside the swarthy mud, which was exceptionally verdant. There are also a few leek-like ones, which should be fluffy leeks.
These dishes are small though. But it's watery. It's definitely not the wilting kind. He pinched a handful of dirt with his hand, real dirt. He gently pulled out a small, tender spinach with a red root.
Fresh indeed. It's really planted.
He went next door and saw tiny clusters of mushrooms the size of thumbs growing out of the fluffy, mixed soil. Small though. But it's very full. The top of the head looks like a round umbrella. It should be what I just ate. The paste is greasy and crunchy, and it is very tasty.
This little girl is really incredible. Don't even think about it. It's really a lot less fun to be without her these days. It made him feel like something was missing from his life.
Thinking about it, it was just a cousin's words, and it didn't come true, why did he mind so much? I have been deliberately avoiding her these days, is it to avoid suspicion or to be unhappy?
You must know that even Yan Qiuyin didn't care so much.
Could it be that Yan Qiuyin's worries were right? Did he really have an idea for this little girl?
He smiled self-deprecatingly and walked out of the room. Nanaji nodded and followed behind. Today, in addition to the smiling face, he basically said a few words. Childe hasn't come to the vegetable garden for so many days, he has a faint uneasiness in his heart, he has become accustomed to Childe Dabao coming and going around every once in a while, which is an affirmation.
Today's son is finally here, and although he looks the same as usual, he feels that something is different.
He didn't know where he offended Childe.
Yan Wuwu walked out of the wooden house and looked up at the triangular skylight on the roof, a bit like a chimney on the top of the kitchen, and it was painted with red paint. It seems to be able to be propped up.
Be more creative.
The spinach egg soup was quickly ready, and Lin Zhu deliberately added some spice powder mixed with various seasonings collected in the summer and crushed into powder, which tasted very good.
If the conditions are good in the future, it will be better to add some chicken broth.
She took a bowl of egg whites with white flowers, yellow-orange-orange egg yolks, green spinach, and egg blossom spinach soup with green onions and coriander, and sent them to the house, and sent them to Yan Wuwu with both hands. Sweet and greasy said: "Childe, egg flower spinach soup." ”
Yan Wuwu glanced at it, looked good, reached out and took it, picked up the iron spoon inside, and took a sip.
The taste is also good.
There's a fragrance in the list. He drank it in one go, got up and said, "The mushroom stir-fry is good, and the spinach soup is also good." Well, go back. ”
After finishing speaking, he walked out of the vegetable garden, and Dabao hurriedly followed.
He felt a little constrained now.
That's it? Lin Zhu was also busy following behind,
When he came to the fence gate, the big yellow dog dragged the chain and pounced on Dabao. It startled Lin Zhu. Dabao also subconsciously dodged, and then remembered that he came suddenly today, and didn't bring big bones to it.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Rhubarb, I'm sorry, I'll bring you bones next time." ”
He actually figured it out very much, Lin Zhu is so smart and smart, and his cousin, Young Master Jin, thinks highly of her. How can he compare with others, or don't join in this fun, but he still feels very uncomfortable.
The two went out, Yan Wuwu seemed to be finally relieved, he walked forward with his hands in his hands, and said: "Dabao, it's going to be the New Year, send a few pieces of fabric to Caier's family, just say it's a reward." ”
Dabao answered and whispered: "It's just a pity that the last few pieces, but the best ones were given to the third lady." ”
Yan Wuwu paused and stepped up. It's okay not to mention Yan Qiuyin, but when he mentions Yan Qiuyin, his mood that has just gotten better is low again,
To be honest, these days, he is afraid to see her. I didn't want to see her at all. ,
Dabao could more or less guess his thoughts. is also, the dignified son of Yanfu, who calls for wind and rain outside, can't be the master of a maid at home. How can you have a face to see people when you pass it out.
The third lady has really done a bit too much, and she is ready to teach her husband and children at home. It's also about men. Don't look at it, is this man she can manage.
It's also beyond my means.
He followed behind Yan Wuwu, squinting at the rat eyes and pursing his thin lips, contemptuous of Yan Qiuyin. But Lin Zhu's clear eyes flashed in his mind.
If he was a son, he would rather find a maid like Lin Zhu than marry a young lady like Yan Qiuyin.
Seeing Yan Wuwu Dabao go away, Lin Zhu returned to the vegetable garden. Finally, when night fell, I got dressed and went out of the vegetable garden with my sleeves.
Cai Er hurriedly followed behind and said, "Zhu'er." Daddy sent you over. It's so dark, you don't feel at ease alone. He kept watching, just waiting to send her.
What's not to worry about, just go to Xiezhuang Pit and not to the town. Lin Zhu actually didn't want her father to send her. She knew that when she came back, she would have someone from Young Master Jin Zhen's family to send her off.
But escorting a daughter seems to be a man's responsibility. She couldn't say anything.
The same dish went out of the door. Father and daughter talk and walk as they go.
Lin Zhu said: "Dad, it's not my daughter who said you, you are too cowardly sometimes." You've got to figure it out. Now we are working as a family, supporting the eldest uncle and the third uncle, the two of them and the grandmother. It's not what we owe them, we should give them. Now we have given something, and we have to be angry, who can stand it. ”
Cai Er lowered his head, he naturally knew this truth. But what's terrible is that it's the mother who comes to ask for things and get things, not the eldest brother and the third brother.
Those two siblings, after leaving the countryside of Yanfu without permission, always avoided him.
He sighed and said, "Dad knows that you and your mother have suffered with Dad and are angry. But that's your grandmother, your father's mother-in-law. Your grandfather left early, and your grandmother didn't have an easy time. Dad has never contradicted your grandma since he was a child. Now that she's old, Dad can't do it. ”
He said helplessly.
Everyone has difficulties, and I don't blame my father for being cowardly, but grandma is too domineering and partial.
She always couldn't figure out how such a difficult person as Lin Zhang's family could have such a good son as his father.
The two of them arrived at Xiezhuang Pit after a while, Lin Zhu entered Young Master Jin Zhen's house, and Cai Er went to his house to take a look. It's the New Year, so let's go and see how the house is doing. I want to come to the house to give all the food here, this month's ration plus the extra give, to say the least, there are 200 catties, it should be enough for the New Year. ,
But as soon as he entered the door, he heard Lin Zhang's crying and scolding from the depths of the courtyard,
What's wrong? What happened?
It's almost the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and the family can't cry casually, it's unlucky.
He hurriedly walked towards the inner courtyard, and Lin Zhang's cry came from the courtyard where the eldest brother lived. He pushed the door and went in, and saw his mother sitting on the cold ground, crying with a handful of snot and tears. The sister-in-law also wiped her tears.
The eldest nephew, Lin Daliang, knelt on the ground, and the eldest brother squatted with his head in his hands. Lin Duo hugged his little brother Daxian and curled up in the corner.
He didn't ask what was going on first.
He hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to pull Lin Zhang's up, but he was too thin and Lin Zhang's was too fat and didn't succeed.
Sitting on the ground at such an old age on such a cold day, there is still nothing wrong with freezing.
He was in a hurry. , bent down and hugged Lin Zhang's with all his might, and put him heavily on the kang. gasped and said, "Mother, where are you singing this New Year?" ”
Lin Zhang's family seemed to regard this son as his own son at this time, and pulled him with a handful of snot and tears: "Second child, mother's second child." ……。 ”
It turned out that Lin Yiyi, the eldest of the Lin family, and Lin San, the third elder, have always been lazy and lazy, and they are good at gambling, and their luck is poor. Some time ago, the eldest grandson Lin Daliang couldn't get along outside and returned home. The Lin family has no land or business, and they have nothing to do. Lin Yiyi took his son to the town to gamble. As a result, the father and son lost a pair.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is over, the people in the casino come to collect gambling debts. The two had no money and were forced to be cornered, so it happened that Lin Zhang's family brought back the rations of Lin Zhu's family of three, and also got back the extra giving.
Lin Zhang's family is thinking about the New Year, this year his sons and grandchildren are complete, and the second child is still making longevity materials for himself, which is a first-class longevity material. Gotta be happy, happy.
handed over the two taels of silver that he had saved for a year from Lin Zhu's family to his eldest son, and asked him to go to the capital to buy some New Year's supplies.
Who knew that not only did the silver enter the mouth of the tiger, but there was no return, and more than 200 catties of grain were all stolen by his son and grandson to pay off his gambling debts.
Seeing that it was the twenty-third day of the lunar month, a large family looked at the empty noodle jar.
She called the heavens and the heavens not to call the earth unspiritual. I didn't dare to say it yet, for fear that the third family would hear it and work hard with the boss.
Today, the third family went to his father-in-law's house to help. Only then did she fight with her son and grandson.
Cai Er's face turned white after hearing this, and his family of three worked hard for a month. The hard-earned money was wasted.
If these things feed the family, even if you work hard, your wife and daughter complain, it is reasonable.
, glanced at Lin Yilin. I wanted to scold a few words. Over the years, no matter how reluctant his wife was or how persuaded her daughter was. , he pretended to be confused and didn't say anything.
Anyway, it's all used on my own family, and my mother lives here.
But now that he was like this, he didn't even know what to say.
He had no choice but to help Lin Zhang wipe his tears and persuade her: "Mother, if you are already like this, don't begrimage yourself." At your age, it's not worth it if you cry and break your bones. Or the mother and her son will go to the vegetable garden for the New Year, although there is nothing on the son's side, but Zhu'er planted some mushrooms this year, saying that he can pick a little during the New Year. This thing is a rare thing in winter, and it is not worth much in our poor family, but if you pay tribute to the old lady of Yanfu, you should be able to give some rewards, and when the time comes, we will change some grain, oil, meat, and celebrate the New Year first. ”
Lin Zhang wiped his tears and said: "You said it lightly, when the old lady goes to the vegetable garden, the chicken that doesn't lay eggs in your house and the money loss goods can give the old lady a good face?" ”
What she said was very unconfident, and Caiji could tell that she wanted to go.
Busy said: "Mother, my son is the head of the family, and they are two women, so I don't care what they do." It's still my mother who has the final say. ”
Lin Yiyi, who was squatting on the ground, heard the old lady's soft tone, jumped up when he rubbed it, and rushed up and said, "Mother, mother." It's all sons who are unfilial, and sons deserve to die. This Chinese New Year, you went to the second child's house. Didn't you slap your son in the face with the third child? It is said that the rabbit does not leave the nest, and it is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, so don't go. Second, my brother promises that he will never gamble again in the future, and he must honor his mother. If you also honor your mother, get the reward and take it back, and atone for your brother to your mother, your brother and your eldest nephew are grateful, grateful. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at his son who was kneeling on the ground, and Lin Daliang had been out for a few years. turned around and kowtowed vigorously to Cai Er to admit his mistake.
Lin Zhang's was originally eccentric, and she was also confused by her eldest son and grandson just now. If I followed the dishes for a while, I was reminded by my eldest son at this time and understood.
What should she do when she goes to the vegetable garden?
She took Caier's hand, dragged her crying and said, "Er, my mother knows that you are filial." But what your eldest brother said is also right, the rabbit in the moon does not leave the nest, your mother and I are in our seventies, and we will starve to death to celebrate the New Year at home. You just let your mother die at home. (To be continued......)
