Chapter 61: Ordinary Life

In addition to Mai Lisu, there are other small milk products, which exude a very fragrant smell and attract the children who go to school early in the morning. However, when gluttony returns, the stomach has long been full. For breakfast in the Jiangnan area, most of them are boiled white porridge with pickles. If possible, add an oil cake, or buy three or five fritters. Biting into crunchy fritters like this and taking a sip of hot white porridge tastes so good!

The village-run school is on the edge of a river, and the campus is not large, with only a few red brick houses. Teacher Zhu, who gave Lin Shuang an entrance test when he signed up, became Lin Shuang's homeroom teacher. Teacher Zhu looked almost sixty years old, and his hair was already gray. Ms. Zhu teaches Chinese courses and also teaches music lessons to children.

Because of the lack of Chinese teachers in rural primary schools, the most direct consequence is that Lin Shuangxue has learned mathematics so far. The progress of mathematics has surpassed the progress of the village primary school, while the progress of Chinese is much behind. So as soon as he was free, Teacher Zhu would call Lin Shuang to the office. Give Lin Shuang everything that fell before.

Although there is no Chinese teacher, language books are still distributed. Liu Xiaoying also consciously asked Lin Shuang to memorize all the texts he was going to memorize. Therefore, there is no difficulty in making up for the missing lessons. So, Lin Shuang began her school career in the city.

Reading, doing homework, visiting the store, and playing with Doudou. For a long time, Lin Shuang's life was spent like this. At night, a family of three is busy with their own things in a ten-square-meter cubicle. Liu Xiaoying and Lin Zhihong want to calculate how much income the store has today, and Lin Shuang has to endorse and write homework.

Lin Shuang carried the book on his back and began to wander. "Shuangshuang, on Sunday, you and I go to stock the goods." Liu Xiaoying found that the things in the store were about to be restocked. Now Lin Zhihong, a strong man, can't be used, as long as he grabs Lin Shuang to be a strong man. Liu Xiaoying sometimes thinks it's too strange. I know how to ride a bicycle, why can't I ride a tricycle? Either spin in place, or can't keep the direction and go into the ditch. It's really weird.

"Oh. Got it! "It doesn't matter if Lin Shuang arrives, go out to help buy some goods, and come back and maybe you can mix some snacks to eat." Mom, you make a list first, don't forget this and forget that like last time, and you have to run a second time. "The last time I went back to buy goods, Liu Xiaoying forgot that two or three things didn't come in, and ran again, which has made Lin Shuangnian several times.

"I see. Do your homework. People are small and big. I don't know who it's like! Liu Xiaoying scolded back with a smile. But he also obediently took a piece of paper and listed the names of the products that needed to be purchased one by one. The best consumption is some daily necessities, straw paper, monosodium glutamate, salt, rice wine...... Looks like it's a truckload full of goods this Sunday.

Jiangnan people, although they also drink liquor, but most of them are old liquor. More people prefer locally produced rice wine. Locally produced rice wine has a history of entering the year. It's a great treat for people with good wine.

A large jar of rice wine was pulled back, and the seal of the jar was carefully removed. When people come to the store to drink, they mostly bring their own containers. The tool used to make sake in the store is a wine terminal made of bamboo tubes. How to describe it, it is like a thin dot folding pen holder and then connected to a long handle. The Lin family's wine end is enough to be satisfied. A pound of wine, as long as it is played five times.

At the beginning, when Lin Shuang helped to make wine, he had to take a funnel and put it on, otherwise he would be afraid of spilling. Later, the small craft was practiced, and sometimes without a funnel, the wine in the wine end could be poured into someone's wine bottle without a lift of the hand. It's a little craftsman.

Time flies, and it's another year in the blink of an eye. After entering Layue, Liu Xiaoying has been returning to the countryside frequently. Not for anything else, just to pay back. Of course, ask people to borrow debts, and they will always have to be cleared at the end of the year. When the house is built, the money for the materials and the craftsmanship of the craftsmen are settled.

Now most of the remaining debts of the Lin family are owed to individuals. Some are scattered, twenty, fifty, hundred. There is also a good relationship, borrowed five hundred. Liu Xiaoying and Lin Zhihong mean that they are ready to pay back the small amount first. Then pay off the large amount of arrears. So after entering the wax moon. Liu Xiaoying clears the accounts every day, and after leaving some money for purchases, she uses all the money she earns to pay off her debts.

After entering the wax moon, you can't go empty-handed when you go to pay off your debts. So Liu Xiaoying could only take some canned food and other things in the store, pick two bottles at a suitable price, and bring them. Every time Lin Shuang watched Liu Xiaoying carry things to pay off his debts, he would always be more firm in his ideals. One day, I will make a lot of money, so that my parents will no longer have to live a life of hardship and fatigue.

After the school holiday, Lin Shuang was called like an adult. "Shuangshuang, I'll ride a tricycle to pull some coal and come back. The briquettes at home are gone. Lin Zhihong finally didn't have to walk on crutches, but he still didn't dare to exert himself. So what Lin Zhihong should have done fell on Lin Shuang again.

However, Lin Shuang was not unhappy, and helped to do the work of the coachman, and Liu Xiaoying would give a dime for labor fees. At the beginning, Lin Shuang would only ask for a little snack in the store as labor fees, but Lin Shuang found that this was not good. Why not. First, if you eat a pack of snacks, you will only want a pack. The more you eat, the more money you put in for your home. Second, the little girl's teeth are a little bad. I'm afraid that eating too much will make my teeth worse.

After snacks were not attractive to Lin Shuang, Liu Xiaoying thought of this method in order to maintain Lin Shuang's enthusiasm, and he could earn a dime as a coachman. After this dime is earned, it is up to Lin Shuang to save it or keep it. So the wealthy Lin Shuang's children happily became a driver.

The place where the scattered coal was pulled was not far, but fortunately it was not far, if it was farther, Lin Shuang would not be able to step on it. After the scattered coal was pulled back, it was Lin Zhihong's business. To make honeycomb coal, you have to find a larger site when the weather is fine. Fortunately, the small yard behind the Lin family's store is very suitable.

After the scattered coal is pulled back, it is like a dough, the coal is piled together, the large pieces of coal are broken a little more, and then some water and one sum are added. After a while of time for the water to penetrate into the coal ash, the coal ash is mixed in. It feels like it's almost over, and it's time to come up with the most important thing to make honeycomb coal. That's the honeycomb coal machine.

Press the honeycomb coal machine into the coal ash pile, compact the coal ash inside, and then move it to the open space to press the honeycomb coal out. I pressed and pressed this one by one. Then when the coal ash runs out, you will see neat rows of honeycomb coal on the site, which feels particularly good. If the weather is good, after a long day of sunbathing, the honeycomb coal will dry thoroughly, and it can be moved to the utility room to be stocked. If the weather is bad, then you need to spend more time in the sun.

Lin Zhihong is responsible for beating honeycomb coal, and Lin Shuang is responsible for moving the dried honeycomb coal into the utility room. What kind of tacit understanding between father and daughter.
