In such a year this year, the family will not dare to raise pigs anymore, and many people have already sold their fat pigs.

The Lin family is no exception, they raised three pigs this year, kept one for the New Year, and the other two have been sold, so that they can save something, otherwise they must feed some food.

At the end of October, Lin Changqing sent a letter to his home, and at the same time, he also sent back several bags of rice, looking at those things, the Wu family was very happy, and he was missing this, and the fifth child was really thinking about the house outside.

Zikang took the letter and read it to his family word by word, everyone gathered around, and Lin Changqing's letter said that he had settled down there and had gone to work.

The place where he was an official was half a day's journey from the previous place, and in the same state, everything was smooth and smooth, so there was no need to worry about it at home, and he also said that if he replied to the letter, he would just let someone come to take it back, which was his entourage.

The letter also mentioned his marriage, and he always had to bring someone back to show his family, but this year's situation didn't seem to be suitable for coming back, for fear of causing trouble to the family, so I asked the family what they meant.

After listening, Zikang brought a pen and paper, and Lin Dezheng said a few words to the Wu family, and wrote the letter in a big way.

The central idea is one meaning, everything is fine at home, and he doesn't have to worry about it outside, it is indeed inconvenient to bring people back this year, and it is not convenient to even use water at home, and then talk about it after the next year is smooth.

That person was by Lin Changqing's side, and he came back to deliver something, otherwise it would take a long time for a letter to be sent home.

He didn't live at home either, and he was about to leave after taking the reply, so Wu wrapped up some reward money and asked Lin Changyuan to give it to him.

Lin Dezheng said, "I want to bring people back in the coming year, I just hope that everything will be good by then, and our house was only repaired last year, so there is no need to toss." ”

Lin Changfu said, "Don't worry, there are not many times when there is a drought for several years in a row, and Second Uncle Gu also said that the coming year will not be like this year, it will definitely be good." ”

In winter, the countryside looks even more irritating, everywhere is bare, if before, there were a lot of crops in the field in winter, wheat and rape have grown very well, which is like now, all soil, the two weir ponds are also dry, and there is a pool of silt in the middle.

No matter how difficult the days are, they still have to go on, and when it comes to the winter month, they have to start handling the family's New Year's goods, and the Lin family killed the pigs early, and they can put it down after the weather is cold.

This pig is really a bit extravagant, and the family has bought some silver in the past few years, otherwise they are reluctant to kill pigs and eat meat, and the pigs in other people's homes are basically sold, and few families have kept New Year's pigs.

In previous years, the two families who killed pigs together with the Lin family did not kill them this year, but they also called them over to help, and after killing the pigs, they gave their family some meat.

This is also a close person, life is difficult, how can you not help?

A lot of things in the town have been sold at sky-high prices, and there are always some to prepare for the New Year, Liu went to the town, and when he came back, he shook his head, and he didn't dare to buy many things.

Even if there is still some silver in the family now, but they have to save some money, their family has lived a hard life, and they couldn't eat before, but now they don't dare to waste it even if they have a better life.

Wu said, "It's not good this year, let's not make new clothes, the price of needlework and fabrics has risen, it's really not cost-effective to do this year, I have made clothes in the past two years, and the clothes are the same, the children don't feel wronged, the days will be better, grandma will make better for you." ”

Siqi said, "Grandma, we won't be wronged, even the clothes we wore in the past few years were also very good, and in the past few years, we have made clothes, and you haven't done it." ”

She has always felt that the life of the Lin family is very hard, that is because she has always lived a good life before, in fact, now that she thinks about it, there are several families in the Zhuang family who are so good as the Lin family, not how rich they are, but the Wu family, who is in charge of the house, thinks about the people in the family and is good to everyone.

Wu smiled, "It's already a month now, and it won't be long before your mother and your eldest brother will come back, and our family will have a good reunion." ”

This year's year is not good, but there is still surplus food from previous years, and life can go on for the time being.

Some people think about the coming year, and now they are already a little bit of tightening their belts, and three meals have become two, and they are reluctant to eat anything.

The Chinese New Year is the most important day of the year, even if it is thrifty, you still have to think of a way to live, so when it comes to the twentieth day of the lunar month, every household still has that meaning, that is, it is not as lively as in previous years.

Xuan's and Zijun Tiankuo only came back on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, and they were not in a very good mood when they looked at the desolate and dilapidated farmland around them along the way, and when they entered the village, they found that their village was the same, and several people sighed.

The carriage sent Tiankuo home, took everything off the outside of Gu's house, and then turned around and came back, stopped at Lin's house, Xuan's money was settled, and the coachman drove away.

As soon as the two of them entered the courtyard, the family greeted them, and Siqi hugged Xuan's waist and refused to let go, "Mother, you can be regarded as back, I miss you so much!" ”

Zichen watched from the side, snorted, and was very envious, "Second sister is so fast, I also want to hug my mother." ”

Siqi smiled, turned around and stuck out his tongue at him, "Who told you not to run faster, I will take the lead." ”

happily entered the house, Xuan told Wu everything he got back from the county town one by one, and took out the silver and handed it to Wu, and then talked to his children.

The children like to stay with their mothers, not to mention that Xuan is a very virtuous mother, so as soon as she came back, several children were all happy and stood beside her and refused to go out.

Siqi and Zichen are okay, the two of them are younger, they can be coquettish on the side of the Xuan family at this time, Zikang and Siyao are older, so they are embarrassed to come over again.

Xuan didn't ignore the two of them either, they both talked for a while, and then the children ran to talk to Zijun again.

Xuan's said, "Daddy, the price of food in the county is also very strong, I bought some before, I didn't get it back this time, if the food at home is not enough next year, then take it back, or it will be a waste, and when the price begins to drop, I will sell it again." ”

Lin Dezheng smiled and nodded, "It's still thoughtful, it's good to arrange it this way, this year, thanks to his son, our family has collected a lot of things, and there are a lot of potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, I think there should be no shortage of food next year." ”

Xuan's heart was very happy when he heard that his daughter was so powerful, and he was even more relieved to know that there was no shortage of food at home.
