Chapter 8: Calculations
Chapter VIII
Lin Baosheng still went in the end, leaving a room of orphans and widows, and Lin Biluo and Lin Nan only had time to see Zuihou once.
The matter came too suddenly, Aunt Lin viciously cursed the He family in front of the mourning hall every day, and now, no one has the strength to deal with her. If it weren't for the four children, the He family would have the idea of following Lin Baosheng.
The shop is temporarily closed, Lin Baosheng is a very good person, suddenly this happened, all the neighbors came to help, Lin Yousheng and Jiang took Lin Yong to Zhang Luo on the funeral.
The four children were keeping vigil in the mourning hall and expressed their condolences. He also had to discuss funeral matters with Lin Yousheng, Lin Baosheng was so young, these things were not prepared. The clothes, shoes and socks inside are made by He himself, and they are not yet wrapped. The coffin shrouds were all bought from the outside shop.
The classmates in the school all came to mourn, and even Mr. Bao came to put on a pillar of incense, and when he encountered such a thing, he could only sigh.
Finally, the funeral was done in a hurry, but He fell ill, the whole person was burnt and confused, and he called "Brother Baosheng" regardless of whose hand he grabbed. looked at the four children guarding beside him, and said, "Your aunt is a heart disease, and I still need you to solve it." ”
Recently, the children have experienced the pain of losing their father, and they can't take care of eating or sleeping, and they are all a lot haggard. Dr. Qian has a slight compassion in his heart, but he also knows that orphans and widows, if he is not strong, there is no other way.
He may be able to take a step forward, but the four children are pitiful.
At that time, people were accustomed to widows remarrying, even if they were separated from each other, they did not think it was different, and like He's, the children were left to the family, and they could go out.
When Dr. Qian left, Lin Biyun and Ying'er cooked some light side dishes, and Lin Biyue, Lin Biluo and Lin Nan stayed by their side. From time to time, the sisters changed the kerchief on He's head to cool down.
After Lin Biyun came over with porridge, Lin Biluo shook He gently: "A-Niang...... A-Niang...... Get up and drink porridge ......"
He fell asleep, and the four children sat around her bed, all with tears in their eyes. Or Ying'er is older, she can't stand it anymore, and urges a few children: "The eldest lady, the second lady, the third lady, and the eldest lady come and eat a little, if you all fall ill, the wife will wake up and die of distress?" ”
The four children endured their sadness and drank a few mouthfuls of porridge.
Lin Nan and Lin Biluo were young, so Lin Biyun urged her younger siblings to go to bed early, and she and Lin Biyue were guarding here.
Lin Biluo refused, He burned so dangerously, she couldn't sleep. Although this adoptive mother is not biological, but she treats her as if she is her own, in Lin Biluo's heart, this is her own mother, suddenly remembered that liquor can reduce burning, and hurriedly asked Lin Biyun: "Big sister, is there any wine at home that is older?" High degree? ”
Lin Biyun shook his head: "Daddy doesn't drink much on weekdays, the house is full of fruit wine, or ...... brewed by Daddy himself" Speaking of Lin Baosheng, she cried again.
Now is not the time to cry, Lin Biluo shook Lin Biyun's hand: "Eldest sister, you have the key to A-Niang's money box, right?" Can you give me a couple of silver? I heard that the shop opened by the Hu people on the street sells a kind of burning knives with a high degree, which came in from Bian Mo, and that wine may be able to reduce the burning ...... for A-Niang."
As soon as Lin Biyun heard that she could cool down the He family, she hurriedly opened the money box and took two taels of silver from it and gave it to her, "Or, let Ying'er go?" ”
Lin Biluo repeatedly told her: "Be sure to take the strongest wine in their store!" Ying'er went, and she urged Lin Nan to lie down on the couch outside for a while: "I'll wipe A-Niang's body with my eldest sister and second sister, it's not convenient for A-brother to be here, so you just crooked on the couch outside for a while, and then call you when we're done?" ”
Lin Nan refused at first, he is a son, although he doesn't have to worry about big or small things, but these days just kneeling in front of the mourning hall to guard the spirit is enough for him, this will eat a little porridge and side dishes, and he can't be tired early, but he is worried about his mother, and there are three sisters who are guarding, even if he is sleepy, he can hold on. was dragged to the couch outside by Lin Biluo, and took a mattress to cover him, in the end, it was a child, at first he was still holding on, and after a while, he breathed lightly and fell asleep.
The three sisters gently undressed He, and Lin Biluo commanded to focus on wiping his forehead, neck, armpits, groin, and joints. I was afraid that He would catch a cold, so I covered it while wiping, and when I was busy, I waited for Ying'er to come back, and took a burning knife to wipe it.
The three sisters worked together, wiped it off, and touched He's forehead, seeming to ...... It's not that hot.
This night, the three sisters plus Ying'er were busy all night, and they wiped it for He every other hour, and when it was almost dawn, He's body temperature finally dropped, Ying'er went to the kitchen to cook porridge, and prepared He to wake up and eat, and the three sisters lay on the head of He's bed and fell asleep.
Lin Biluo was on the side of He's pillow, maybe not an hour after sleeping, she felt as if someone was gently touching her forehead, she opened her eyes, and saw that He didn't know when he had woken up, his eyes were clear, although he was still sad, but he was awake.
"A-Niang-" Lin Biluo snorted softly, only to feel that her throat seemed to be stuck by something, tears rolled down, gently held He's hand, and whispered in a dumb voice: "A-Niang, even if you don't think about our three sisters, you have to think about Brother Nan......" As she spoke, she couldn't stop her tears, she only hated herself for being too young and couldn't do anything.
As soon as He woke up, he saw the three heads lying side by side on the edge of the bed under the oil lamp in the room, all looking tired and worried, and his heart was sour, looking for Lin Nan around, but he didn't see him, thinking that he might go back to the room to sleep, she couldn't stand it these days and fell ill, not to mention Brother Nan.
Speaking of which, the third sister is only a few days older than Brother Nan, and she is still a child, so she will lie on the head of the bed, which is indescribably pitiful and cute. He couldn't help it, so he gently touched her little face, how did he know that this child was awake, and he woke up at once, crying like a tearful person, and said these words again, where could He Shi hold back not crying.
Big tears dripped down her eyes, and she promised softly: "A-Niang will get better as soon as possible!" You three sisters and Brother Nan are all A-Niang's heart, which one is a good child, A-Niang shouldn't have such thoughts! A-Niang must pull you up well, even if you go down in the future, you can explain to your father......"
The two of them were in tears relative to each other, and suddenly heard the sound of soft sobbing around them, Lin Biluo turned his head to look, it turned out that Lin Biyun and Lin Biyue had woken up, and they were crying.
He stretched out his hand, the mother and daughter hugged each other, and immediately cried, the cry woke up Lin Nan, he thought that there was something wrong with He, ran in barefoot, and shouted: "A-Niang-" The four mother and daughter who were crying raised their heads, and he found that He had woken up, and immediately laughed and cried.
"Auntie, you're scared of us......"
Ying'er stared at the small fire under the kitchen and boiled the porridge, estimated that it was almost over, so she came over to take a look, heard the movement in the room, the mother and son were crying, she stood in the yard for a while, couldn't help wiping the corners of her eyes, and then went back to the kitchen to bring hot water.
After the mother finished crying, it was important to wash and eat something.
The dead are gone, but the living still have to live well!
He didn't get up for several days, Dr. Qian ran a few times, and the women in the neighborhood came to visit, and saw that the four children of the Lin family were busy going in and out, taking care of their mothers, and they were not emotional enough to go home.
When Aunt Lin heard that He was sick, she said hatefully: "Kefu's broom star, it's good to die early!" The children have Erlang, will they still starve to death? She didn't think that her eldest son was so good on weekdays, he was clumsy, and he couldn't even say anything to please Haode, but now that he was gone, he suddenly remembered Lin Baosheng's many benefits.
Although he can't say sweet words, but he is the most soft-hearted and honest, a lot of hard work in the family was done by Da Lang before, Erlang was delicate since he was a child, and then their candied fruit couldn't go on, on the one hand, because of the bad taste, on the other hand, it was also because of the candied fruit, from the selection of raw materials to the return of the work, the work was not light, Lin Yousheng was lazy to do it.
During the New Year's holidays, no matter how bad her speech is, Lin Baosheng's filial piety to her will never be less......
Aunt Lin thought about some old things and cursed He, but she never thought about it, these words fell on Jiang's ears, but her eyes lit up.
On top of Lin Baosheng's funeral, the He family took the silver outside, and the Jiang family weighed their family property. Unexpectedly, since the couple moved out of the Lin family's ancestral home, they have really accumulated some family business.
Lin Yousheng has not made any progress over the years, although the Jiang family is at home, but he also knows that the family has less income and more output, and has long thought of other ways to make money, after Lin Baosheng passed away, she thought about it again and again, and wanted to propose it several times, the two families are one family, let the He family move back with the children, and the house over there is sold, is it not a big investment?
He is a soft character, Jiang has already touched it thoroughly, she is not her opponent at all, the following children are not big, and the three daughters will be sent away hastily, and they can earn a few dowries...... This will make her hate her belly and not be angry, why don't she give birth to a girl?
She had been planning this idea since Lin Baosheng's funeral, and had already quietly discussed it with Lin Yousheng: "The eldest brother has passed away, and the eldest sister-in-law is living outside with a child, so why don't you let them move back in?" ”
Lin Yousheng has been married to the Jiang family for many years, and I really don't believe that she has suddenly become so understanding, "What about the house and shop over there?" ”
Jiang glanced at her husband with disgust: "We are originally a family, the house over there is a big deal, and the goods in the shop are moved to the old shop here, and the family is harmonious, isn't it?" ”
Lin Yousheng hesitated: "I'm afraid...... The sister-in-law disagreed. ”
Jiang pouted: "Sister-in-law, as long as A-Niang goes to say, can she still disobey A-Niang?" ”
According to past records, as long as Aunt Lin is out of her mother, the He family will only bow her head and be scolded, which time is not scolded for being a bloody dog?
As a result, Aunt Lin said a few words, which suddenly enlightened the Jiang family: as long as the He family is taken away from the Lin family, only Lin Baosheng's four children are left, and she is not in charge?
