When I entered the house, I found that the courtyard was very spacious, at least twice as large as the old house.

Because there were many people, everyone stayed in the courtyard to talk. Lin Chengzhi looked at Wu Yi'an and asked, "Qingshu, who is this girl?" ”

Qingshu introduced: "This is my classmate Yi'an, who originally came to Jiangnan with me to play, but I didn't expect to encounter floods. Yi'an, this is my third uncle. ”

After speaking, he pointed at Uncle Yan and said, "Third Uncle, this is Uncle Yan, and he is Yi'an's guard." ”

Although Qingshu didn't say his specific identity, it must be rich or expensive to be able to bring so many guards when he goes out.

After saying hello, Lin Chengzhi said to Yi An apologetically: "There are many people in the family and there are few houses, so I have to wronged Miss Yi to live in the same room with Qingshu." ”

Because Qingshu didn't say it clearly, Lin Chengzhi thought that Yi An was surnamed Yi.

Yi An shook his head and said, "Third Uncle Lin, this period is not so particular now. Not only me, but also Shen'er and Mose, they all live in the same room with us. As for Uncle Yan and them, just look at the arrangement. ”

Seeing that she was so easy to speak, Lin Chengzhi was also relieved: "Qingshu, you haven't had lunch yet, have you?" ”

Qingshu shook his head and said, "Third uncle, I don't have an appetite now, let's go to my grandmother's grave first!" ”

Lin Chengzhi didn't agree: "Don't be in a hurry at this moment, eat something hot to cushion your stomach." I asked your third aunt to make dumplings and prepare them, and they will be fine soon. ”

couldn't resist him, Qingshu had to agree.

Qingshu and Wu Yi'an both got a big bowl of vegetarian dumplings, and they also served sausages and cold wild Chinese vegetables.

Wu Yi'an praised after eating a dumpling: "This dumpling tastes really good." ”

Qingshu said: "My third aunt's craftsmanship is known throughout Taifeng County, can the taste be bad?" ”

"Really?"

Qingshu hummed and said, "My third uncle came to a few breakfast shops in the county. The first one was opened that year, and the steamed buns and dumplings were all made by my third aunt. ”

"Then your third aunt is so powerful."

After eating, Qingshu followed Lin Chengzhi to the grave. The Lin clan set aside a mountain to bury the clansmen, and the mountain was not far away, and it would take half an hour to arrive.

Because of the special situation now, it is very simple to build a grave with adobe bricks.

Qingshu knelt in front of the grave and burned paper with incense. Now paper money and incense are not easy to buy, and Lin Chengzhi can get it very good.

Although Qingshu hated Mrs. Lin, she was already dead. Those resentments and hatreds have also followed.

After Qingshu finished kowtowing, he poured another glass of water and wine, and then got up.

Lin Chengzhi said: "Now that the weather is hot, the government has repeatedly ordered that the body must be buried as soon as possible if it cannot stay for a long time, so your grandmother will be buried in the afternoon of the second day after her death. If not, I'll wait for you to come back. ”

When going down the mountain, Qingshu asked Lin Chengzhi: "I heard Uncle Cheng'an say that my grandmother left after seeing my grandfather and second uncle, and said that she walked very peacefully." ”

She was skeptical.

Lin Chengzhi shook his head and said, "Your grandmother is sick and unclear, she is angry to death." ”

Qingshu stood in place: "Who was angry with him?" ”

Lin Chengzhi sighed and said, "When the water was blowing, your grandmother forced me to find your grandfather and Lin Chengzhong, and I didn't agree that she fainted in anger. You also know that your grandmother had a stroke and could not be stimulated. However, after that fainting, the illness worsened, but after eating ginseng, it slowly recovered. Then the flood waters receded, and your grandfather came back with Aunt Jane and her two children. When the old house collapsed, they came to me. Your grandmother asked me to drive Aunt Zhen and her two children out of Peach Blossom Village, and I was afraid of irritating her, so I asked Aunt Zhen and her son to move to a shack. ”

In the past, the world was too peaceful and they were not allowed to live in Peach Blossom Village. Now this world wants to drive Aunt Zhen's mother and son out of Peach Blossom Village, which is no different from sending them to death.

Speaking of this, Lin Chengzhi sighed: "But I haven't hidden this matter for a day, and your second aunt said that it was leaked." Your grandmother was furious and demanded that I send the three of them away immediately. Your grandfather didn't want to quarrel with her, and scolded her......"

Then Mrs. Lin was angry and gone.

Qingshu suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that my grandmother was angry with my grandfather!" ”

Lin Chengzhi smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want people to criticize, so I told the public that your grandmother was on her mind, and ended up smiling." ”

If the details are known, everyone's faces will be disgraced.

"Third uncle, why didn't my grandfather live in the mountains with Aunt Zhen?"

Lin Chengzhi was so annoyed that Old Lady Lin couldn't drive him away: "The wooden shed must not be as comfortable as the blue brick and tile house, and I only gave Zhenniang some miscellaneous grains." That multigrain, how can there be rice buns delicious. ”

Qing Shu was stunned: "Third uncle, are you still eating rice and steamed buns at once?" ”

Lin Chengzhi shook his head and said, "Except for your third aunt, everyone else eats wild vegetables and porridge every day. Occasionally improve your diet and make some wild vegetables to eat. ”

Zhang's is still breastfeeding, and he wants to eat well. If you don't have milk, your child will suffer.

Qing Shu was a little worried: "Third uncle, this time I brought more than 20 people to consume a lot of food. Third uncle, if you don't have enough food, I'll find a way to get some. ”

Lin Chengzhi lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, I hid a cellar of grain in the county seat." I went to see it the day before yesterday, and the cellar was not flooded, and the grain was intact. That grain has been enough for our family for three years. ”

The cellar is watered with glutinous rice juice mixed with triple soil, which is not only strong but also excellent for waterproofing.

Qingshu is relieved.

Lin Chengzhi hesitated and asked, "Qingshu, what is the identity of that girl just now?" Look at that faction, it should be a child of a big family. ”

Qingshu said in a low voice: "It's the eldest girl of the Zhenguo Mansion." But as long as the third uncle knows about this, there are many people who want to know and have bad ideas, but it will be a disaster. ”

Lin Chengzhi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Don't say it, don't say it, don't worry, no one will say it." ”

Qing Shu saw him like this, and whispered: "Third uncle, it will be good to treat her like just now." Otherwise, others will be suspicious. ”

Lin Chengzhi nodded.

Back at home, Uncle Yan took the initiative to say to Lin Chengzhi: "Third master, if you have something, just tell me." We can do all the work of cutting down trees and repairing houses. ”

"No, no, no, how can I let you work."

Uncle Yan said: "Third master, if you want to let us do anything, we won't feel at ease with this meal." ”

There were only three men in their family, and he couldn't afford to move wood after a long time of rough work. As for Old Lady Lin and Lin Chengzhong, don't point fingers. Originally, I wanted to wait for the villagers to finish their work and then ask them for help. Now seeing that Uncle Yan sincerely wanted to help, he was a little hesitant for a while.

Seeing this, Qing Shu said, "Third Uncle, if you need help, tell Uncle Yan." When they were in Pingzhou, they also helped the victims build sheds and move things. ”

Lin Chengzhi was no longer polite when he heard this: "The roof of our old house was washed away by the flood, and there are still dozens of fertile fields that need to be cleaned up and replanted. ”

"It's up to us."

More than 20 guards divided into two groups, half to cut down trees and repair houses, and half to clear mud in the fields. And the daughters of Webster and Zhang's stayed at home to prepare meals. There are a lot of people who have to cook a lot of food.
