Chapter 4 Letters

Lin Zhihong's letter did not write about the hard work all the way, nor did he write about the tiredness of the work. just said in a very relaxed tone that Liu Xiaoying talked about the street scenery of Ningxia, talked about the food in Ningxia, and said that he was very good, and his brother at the construction site was also very good. But when Liu Xiaoying received the letter, she still couldn't hold back her tears.

"Mom, what are you crying about. Didn't Daddy say that he was fine with everything there. So we don't have to worry. Lin Shuang sensibly wiped Liu Xiaoying's tears. Liu Xiaoying turned around and folded the letter carefully. "I know, it's just that Mom and your father have been married for so many years, and this is the first time your father has gone out so far. After all, you have to worry about remembering a little bit. ”

Liu Xiaoying took Lin Shuang and went back to the old house with the letter. read Lin Zhihong's letter carefully and read it to the second elder. After listening to the letter, Old Man Lin sighed while smoking: "Xiaoying, when spring begins, the side dishes are coming, you can make some dried vegetables and send them to Zhihong." And the hot sauce made by your mother was also sent in two jars. When you go out, the least accustomed thing is to eat in one bite. ”

Liu Xiaoying accepted the letter and replied, "Daddy, I know." When Zhihong left, he was afraid that the package would be too big to hold, so he only brought a little bit of clothes. I'll go pack up and send him some more clothes and stuff later. This is also convenient for changing. Liu Xiaoying always felt that the package that Lin Zhihong went out was too unsatisfactory.

"You write back to him. Tell Zhihong to work hard over there, and if he takes other people's money, he has to work hard for others. But don't be too bitter yourself. Money to earn, but don't trade your body for money. "Grandma Lin has never studied, and in her opinion, nothing is more important than her son's body.

Obviously, Liu Xiaoying also thinks so. Although she really wanted to live in a three-room brick house, if this cottage was to be exchanged for the health of her own petty officials, then she would definitely not want to. She would rather be poor and miserable than exchange her health for copper money.

"Mom, send my little red flower to Daddy too!" Lin Shuang pulled the corner of Liu Xiaoying's clothes and shouted. This little red flower was brought back by Lin Shuang from the nursery a few days ago. Lin Shuang felt that if he sent this to his father, his father would definitely be happy when he saw it. As soon as Daddy is happy, everything will be solved.

Time slowly passed in the exchange of letters. More than half a year has passed in a flash, and Lin Shuang is like a fish in water in the nursery. Now I can get up early and follow the big army home by myself at night, and I don't need Liu Xiaoying to pick him up. And Lin Shuang didn't want Liu Xiaoying to pick him up.

"Sister, you will come with me in a while!" Lei Jie arrived at the nursery in the morning and made an appointment with Lin Shuang in a mysterious whisper. At the end of the day, no matter how Lin Shuang asked, Lei Jie just laughed, but he just didn't tell Lin You what he was going to do. The angry Lin Shuang almost turned his face.

Finally got out of school, Lei Jie pulled Lin Shuang and ran out. Liu Jianfeng saw it and ran behind: "Sister, Lei Jie, what are you going to do?" Wait for me, take me with you! Lei Jie pulled Lin Shuangtou and ran away without looking back.

"I'm not going to take him! It's always bad for me! Lei Jie complained to Lin Shuang while running. Since the last time he caught Lan Qi, Lei Jie has been reluctant to go white with Liu Jianfeng for a while. It looks like Ray Jie is a grudge-minded kid. Lin Shuang secretly laughed in his heart.

Lei Jie took Lin Shuang and ran towards the village, and only stopped at the end of a small road at the edge of the village. At this time, the two men were already running out of breath. "What are you taking me to see?" Lin asked while gasping. Lei Jie pointed to the tree in front of him and motioned for Lin Shuang to come forward and take a look.

"Yikes! The mulberry fruit is all red, you can eat the mulberry fruit! Lin Shuang was excited to find that many of the mulberry fruits of a tree had turned red and black!

"Mmmm, I've been staring at it for days, and when I came in the morning, I came to see it again. You wait, I'll climb up and pick it for you to eat! With that, Ray began to climb the tree. Tree climbing is a skill that basically every man in the countryside can do. Lin Shuang can't climb trees, so he can only wait under the trees.

"Sister, the taste of black is sweet. I'll break a few sprigs first, and you can eat them first. Lei Jie first stroked a handful of mulberry fruit in his mouth. Then the fruit-picking, black branches broke off. This branch is not easy to break, so Lei Jie had to pick a small one and get it down first. Lost to Lin Shuang.

Lin Shuang followed the mulberry branches under the tree. After receiving it, I couldn't wait to pick one and throw it into my mouth. Sure enough, the sweet taste is wonderful. So two people, one on the tree and the other under the tree, ate like this. "Sister, do you still want to eat?" Lin Shuang looked up and found that Lei Jie's lips had turned black from eating.

"I don't want to eat it. But I'm going to bring some for my mom to eat. Can you pick some more for me? Lin Shuang touched his belly, this mulberry fruit is not full, it is better to go home early for dinner. When I looked at the sky again, it was almost dark. If you don't go home, you're going to have to shout until your mother.

Sure enough, when the two of them walked back with their hands full of mulberry branches, they heard Rejem's mother standing on the way home shouting: "Reger, come back for dinner!" The two of them couldn't help but speed up the pace of going home. While running, he responded: "Mom, here!" Come on! ”

After seeing Lei Jie, Lei Jie's mother picked up one of his ears and scolded while carrying it: "You dead villain, go crazy all day long!" Do you want to eat anymore? Looking at Lei Jie, who was taken back, Liu Shuang felt that his mother was so good, and he never carried his own ears. However, if you really want to do something wrong, you still can't run away from fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots.

When Lin Shuang arrived home, Liu Xiaoying was cooking dinner. Nothing special about dinner for two. It's just ordinary gnocchi soup. This soup linshuang is my favorite. Every time Lin Jiamu's mother burns, Lin Shuang can always eat two big bowls. Actually, this soup is very easy to boil.

Cut the loofah into hob pieces, fry it in oil, and then bring the water to a boil. After the water boils, pour the batter into it, and when the batter is almost ready, add salt and add some monosodium glutamate. Sometimes, Lin Jiamu's mother will also add an egg to the soup. But there aren't many days like that. The soup is exceptionally simple, but it tastes absolutely good!

The next day, Lin Shuang went to the nursery early. It was found that the doors of the nursery were closed. There were a lot of villains waiting outside the door to open the door. Just waited and waited, and didn't wait for the door to open. No one opened the door, and the little people went home in groups. Today, Liu Xiaoying is in the day shift, so Lin Shuang returned to his old house.

"Sister, why don't you go to class today?" Old Man Lin asked while smoking. I'm still busy braiding a broom. The broom is used to sweep the floor at home. The large brooms are woven from bamboo, and the small brooms are dried from the sweet rod heads that have been cut down.

I can't really say what the scientific name of this sweet rod is. I only know that every year during the summer vacation, the sweet rod can be put on the market. This thing resembles sorghum. But it's like a slim version of sugar cane. When eating, you should carefully peel off the outer layer of skin-like things. The incision in that layer of skin is very fast, and one accidentally cuts the hand. After peeling off the skin, the inside is white and the inner core is very crisp and sweet. Every year, the Lin family's grandmother will plant a lot on the ridges of her own land.

"Grandpa, the nursery didn't open today, and we all came back by ourselves." Lin Shuang felt that his grandfather's hands were so skillful, just three times and two times, he could wrap a broom. There are already more than a dozen such brooms on the side of the old man of the Lin family. "Grandpa, are you going to the market?"

Grandpa Lin nodded: "Yes, go to the market, and bring scallion pancakes for my sister to eat when I come back!" Okay, huh? "The scallion pancakes in the town are each very big and round, and when you put them in the oil, they become fragrant and crispy, and you can eat the chives inside when you bite into them.

Lin Shuang swallowed his saliva: "I'm going too." Grandpa will take me with him tomorrow. The scallion pancake cooled when I brought it back. It's not tasty. I love to eat crunchy! ”

"It's okay to take you there, but you have to go on your own. When I go to the town to catch the market, I still have to carry so many brooms, I can't carry yours. "Grandpa Lin is there with Lin Shuang, you can go if you want to, but you have to go by yourself. Lin Shuang hesitated for a long time, it was really not easy to catch a set. Not only do you have to get up early, but you have to walk a long way. In the past, when Daddy Lin was there, he always went by bicycle.

"Grandpa, let's ride a bicycle!" Lin Shuang suddenly remembered the bicycle at home. Since Daddy Lin went out to live, no one in the family went far away, and they couldn't imagine that there was still this car. "Grandpa, look, we put the broom in the back, and I sit on the bar in front. Grandpa is not good like this! Lin Shuang pulled the old man's shirt and sold it.

"Good! Good! When your mom comes back, I'll ask your mom to borrow it. That's it, you're going to sleep here tonight. Don't sleep until you get halfway through your sleep and ask your grandma to carry you home. "Grandpa Lin is talking about Lin Shuang's previous troubles. At that time, Daddy Lin went out to work. Lin Shuang lived in the old house. I slept until midnight, and suddenly I started crying and wanted to go back to my house. So Grandma Lin had no choice but to send her back. But when he sent it back, Lin Shuang was unwilling to let Grandma Lin go.

With tears in his eyes, he said to the Lin family's mother and Grandma Lin: "Mom, I can't bear grandma." Grandma, I can't bear it. This talk made the tears of the two elders almost come down. I hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to sleep with Lin Jiamu's mother. So this joke has become a stalk for everyone to make fun of Lin Shuang.

Hearing Grandpa Lin say this, Lin Shuang pursed his mouth: "I know, grandpa will make fun of me, just like that, don't talk about it many times!" After talking about things, Lin Shuang began to obediently hand things to his grandfather. At this time, Grandma Lin came back from outside.

"O old man, scare me! Something happened! Grandma Lin shouted.

"What's the matter! You're not going to change the noodles, what about the noodles? "Grandpa Lin is still waiting for his old woman to cook lunch.
