Everyone's praise made Ling Da very useful, Ling Da smiled and said, "If you had adopted Tsing Yi earlier, now you are helping you." ”

The villagers scratched their heads, a little embarrassed, at first, no one was willing to adopt a beggar, they were all simple villagers, no one was rich, and suddenly there was an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks for eating, and many families could not afford it.

After returning home, Lin Mei had already prepared the meal, and she smelled the aroma of rice from a distance, which made the three of them growl in their stomachs.

I wasn't hungry yet, but when I heard this, I immediately became hungry.

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, Lin Mei saw the three of them, and saw Nie An carrying firewood, so she immediately came over to help Nie An put it down, "Tsing Yi, just let your stepfather do this, okay, hurry up and eat." ”

Nie An nodded, but didn't move.

Lin Mei didn't say anything, it's been a year, every time it's time to eat, Tsing Yi has to wait for the elders to eat first, and then he eats, no matter how to persuade him, Nie An didn't listen, so he simply gave up.

This kid is surprisingly good at etiquette, which is why they like Nie An.

On the dinner table, pickles, porridge, steamed buns, and pickles are pickled from wild vegetables, and they are stored at once, and every time you eat them, take a little.

And clear porridge can hardly be said to be porridge, almost no different from water.

It's very simple, there are only four steamed buns on the dinner table, almost one person comes in, it can be seen how poor the Lingda family is.

Ling Da and Lin Mei sat down and began to eat, while Ling Dong accompanied Nie An.

"Ling Dong, Tsing Yi, come over for dinner." Lingda shouted.

Ling Dong waved his hand and said, "I'll eat with Brother Tsing Yi in a while, don't worry."

Lin Mei pushed Ling Da and smiled: "You eat quickly, don't worry about the two children."

Ling Dong sat down beside Nie An and said with a smile, "Brother Tsing Yi, have you really forgotten where you came from?"

Nie An fell into thought, for a year, his memory had always been blank, he didn't know what happened, and he didn't know why he was here.

But he clearly felt that his home was not here, and he was full of strangeness and even a little scared.

Nie An shook his head: "I don't remember anything from the past, I only remember that a year ago, I woke up near Lingjia Village... Then my stepfather adopted me, and you became my cousin..."

Looking at Nie An's appearance, Ling Da in the distance was a little distressed, and said to Lin Mei: "Madam, I want to ask the doctor to help Tsing Yi take a look."

Lin Mei's brows furrowed slightly, obviously a little unwilling: "Brother Da, amnesia is not a trivial problem, Li Xiaofeng's son at the head of the village, Da Zhu, fell from the cliff because of a mistake a few years ago, and luckily picked up a life."

is also amnesia, in order to save his son's amnesia, how many doctors did Li Xiaofeng's family find for Dazhu's condition, how much money did they spend, and was it cured?

Because of amnesia, he turned a somewhat wealthy family into a poor person who needed even food and clothing from the neighbors. ”

When Lin Mei said this, it was not that she didn't want Tsing Yi to recover her memory, but the price she had to pay was too great, and they couldn't afford it for a small family like them.

Ling Da sighed: "This kid... Poor, after living with us for a year, I feel that he is not an ordinary person. ”

"That's just a feeling, okay, Tsing Yi's matter, let's stop here." Lin Mei said.

After the two finished eating, Nie An and Ling Dong finished the meal in a hurry, and afterwards Tsing Yi cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and brushed them together.

In the afternoon, Ling Da had to sell the chopped firewood to the nearby market, and lived like this every day, relying on the scattered income of firewood to maintain the whole family.

They also want to farm, those who are happy to be idle, self-sufficient, and those who have a surplus can earn some extra money.

But they could not afford the rent of their fields, so they had to live like this.

In Lingda's words, left and right are all jobs, no matter what.

Ling Da had just put on the firewood on his back and was about to go to the market, when Tsing Yi and Ling Dong followed.

"Dad, I'll go with Brother Tsing Yi with you, it's nothing to do anyway." Ling Dongdao.

"Eh, who said it's okay, I still have some seeds in the afternoon, I have to leave someone to help me." Lin Mei shouted.

In the yard, there is a small vegetable patch, but you can also grow some vegetables, ask the neighbors for some seeds, sow in the spring, summer, and in the autumn they are naturally ripe.

It can be said that autumn is the only season that can improve the food of the Lingda family.

Ling Dong was a little regretful: "Brother Tsing Yi, you go to help your father, I'll help my mother."

Nie An nodded, both left and right were helping, there was no difference.

In the end, Nie An followed Ling Da to the bazaar, while Ling Dong was at home to help.

The bazaar, Nie An also went with him a few times, which can be described in three words, it was very lively.

At noon in summer, white clouds float in the blue sky.

Some of these clouds are connected together, like silver waves rolling in the ocean, some are overlapping several layers, like distant mountains with layers of cockroaches, and sometimes on a large silver-gray cloud, there are clouds of different sizes and shapes, like sea stone flowers blooming on the islands and reefs.

Look at the sun again, like a raging flame.

Sometimes, it seems to feel the heat itself and wants to hide in the clouds in search of shade.

But more often than not, he burned there heroically, pouring an excess of light and heat into the earth, causing the poplar leaves by the roadside and the pumpkin stalks in the fields to droop listlessly.

Along the way, Ling Da and Nie An talked and laughed and talked happily.

"Tsing Yi, are you tired of carrying it, or I'll carry it for a while." Ling Dadao, when he came out, Nie An had already volunteered to carry the firewood on his body.

Now that the distance has passed three-quarters, the weather is hot, and Ling Da is already sweating profusely empty-handed, but on the other hand, Tsing Yi has nothing to do, not only is there no sweat on his forehead, but his expression is extremely relaxed.

It makes Ling Da feel a little strange, this child's physical fitness is even stronger than himself.

Nie An shook his head and smiled, "It's okay, father-in-law, I'm not tired, let's go." ”

"Don't force it." Lingda Road.

Nie An nodded and continued to walk in the direction of the bazaar.

Ling Da took out the kettle, drank some water, and handed it to Nie Andao, "Tsing Yi, drink some water, it's hot in summer, if you don't drink more water and get dehydrated, you will be weak." ”

Nie An did feel a little thirsty, so he also took it and drank some, and then the two continued on their way.

Before the time, the two arrived at the market, the sun was still a little hot at this time, Ling Da found a shady place and rested for a while.

"Father-in-law, you rest first, and I'll go to Zhangluo to sell this firewood," Nie An said.

Lingda nodded, "Well, go ahead." ”

Looking at Nie An's back and drifting away, Ling Da was a little sad, and his desire to help Nie An recover his memory was even stronger at the moment.

But thinking that Lin Mei disagreed, she couldn't help but have some difficulty in making a choice.

Nie An walked down the street carrying firewood, pedestrians came and went, and various market shops spread over almost the entire block.

Nie An began to shout: "Sell firewood, sell firewood."

Not long after shouting, a middle-aged man stopped Nie An: "Eh, the firewood seller, how much is your firewood?"

"Uncle, this bundle, you can give Shiwen." Nie An smiled.

"Isn't it just a few pieces of wood, why is it so expensive, Sanwen, can you sell it or not?" The middle-aged man bargained.
