"I still have a lot of turnips in my field, I'll dig some and come back!"

"I'll go back and get a pot!"

"There's not enough firewood in the cave, I'll cut some more."

With Lin Shuqing's words, she didn't have to do it herself, a woman gathered the radishes in the cave into a pile and prepared to wash the pot together, not only the children and the elderly, but also everyone in the family could drink a mouthful of hot soup.

At this moment, Lin Shuqing was sitting in front of her own fire, burping. The uncles and aunts were so polite that the bowl she gave her was full of turnips, and the children in the family had eaten a full meal after a long time, and she was embarrassed to waste it, so she had to eat it.

Lin Zhishu couldn't eat it, and sat next to Lin Shuqing with tears on his face, his voice full of guilt and self-blame.

"Sister, I'm useless, it's all because I used to be playful, I didn't listen to my mother's words properly, and now I can't help you with anything." Lin Zhishu choked up.

My sister remembered so many things that my mother said, but he didn't remember anything.

Lin Shuqing's mouth opened slightly, her eyes widened, she didn't expect her younger brother to say these words.

Ah, this ......

So he had to wipe away the tears on his face, stroked his head and said, "When my mother said these things, you were about the same age as Zhisheng, and you couldn't speak, so I didn't remember." Then she didn't say anything, only I remembered......"

"You're only seven years old, you're still young, and my sister will tell you about these things later. You can do everything at home, it's very powerful, and you're a little man. ”

After listening to this, Lin Zhishu craned his neck and asked, "Sister, am I really good?" ”

"Yes, our family is very knowledgeable, he can work in the fields, cook and take care of his younger brothers and sisters, he is a powerful brother...... Lin Shuqing praised softly.

When she woke up, Lin Zhishu had been in charge all the time, and this was not half false. After boasting for a long time, I finally appeased the child.

Du Pingniang hugged the sleeping toddler in her arms, touched his forehead, felt the heat on the child's head gradually receded, and looked at Lin Shuqing over there, her eyes were a little moist. Her man left two years ago, and he almost thought it was gone.

The doctor is only available in the county, and the situation at home is like this, and he can't get much money for medical treatment.

The two brothers-in-law in the family are both in their teens, which is the age at which they can eat, and the mother-in-law is old and can't do much work. She is in charge of everything, and she has a total of three points of wheat land at home, and she is unwilling to let her exchange two buckets of grain for her, but everyone in the village is changing, and she is not easy to consciously open her mouth, and she feels a little uncomfortable.

Big white radish and coriander are things that can be seen everywhere in the countryside, and they are not valuable, but no one mentions them, who knows that these things can cure the cold?

She wrote down Lin Shuqing's kindness, and she will try her best to repay it in the future. As for those two buckets of rice compared to her son's life, they are not worth mentioning!

In the evening, the rain stopped, and the wind was much lighter, so many people found half-wet quilts and clothes from their homes and brought them to the caves. I couldn't make do with it last night, but now it's much better to be able to stay warmer.

Lin Shuqing looked to the west, and the red sunset dyed the sky. There is not a trace of the sun, but tomorrow will be a sunny day.

The next morning, everyone in the cave woke up early. Looking at the sun that had just emerged in the east and nodded, his face was full of joy.

The sky is clear, and my heart is at peace.

Lin Shuqing took her younger brothers and sisters home, and took everything that could be dried at home and hung them on the fence of her house. Even the broken wooden bed frame that had been soaked for a few days was carried to the yard to dry and get wet.

Every household in the village is busy, drying things, and tidying up the house.

After that, it's time to clean up the roof tiles. Lin Shuqing found a wooden basin, took a few children to collect large tiles in the house, and after piling up a basin, he poured it around the fence. On rainy days, it's muddy, and leaving it to pave is considered waste reuse.

They say that poor is really poor, and they don't have a decent broom. A broom that is so bald that there are only a dozen thin sticks left can't sweep away the broken tiles on the ground, and the family may be so poor that there is no garbage.

So I had to shout to my younger brothers and sisters: "You go to the side to play first, I'll go find something to make a broom and then clean up." ”

The yard of her house was built by her father after he was separated, and it was built late, across a small hill from everyone in the village. In autumn, there is no good scenery, and from the dialect at the door, there are some green dots between the withered yellow, and most of them are wheat that has not yet set ears in the ground.

Lin Shuqing went to the weeds and shrubs on the hillside and broke some half-human-high dead branches, which were crisp and easy to break, and after saving a big handful in his hand, Lin Shuqing put them together, smashed them on the ground, and smashed the seeds on them. Then he took it home and found a fine hemp rope and tied it to a stick, and it became a broom.

With a broom, it's easier to clean up the shredded tiles.

At noon, a few people cooked some chestnut rice soup on the broken stove at home, and made do with the sunset.

Most of the people in the village carried their things, shouted five and drank six, and walked towards the cave.

When the twilight was getting darker, a group of people gathered around the fire and began to discuss the affairs of the village.

"If they were all covered with tiles, the masons would not be able to keep them busy."

"I'm afraid that the price of this tile will not go up, and I don't know if I will be able to pay for it at that time."

"It will snow in a few months, and it will be open for the winter, and this roof still has to be built!"

"I see, the situation in the county is not very good, or you can get some straw curtains to cover the roof, which is not costly, but also can protect from the wind and rain! It's a day to live! ”

"The straw curtain is really trouble-free, and the straw cut by my family is still piled up there."

After deliberating for a long time, everyone finally decided to make some straw curtains to cover the roof.

Lin Shuqing listened from a distance, although she didn't understand anything about building a house. But the straw curtain is indeed a light way for their family, and there is no copper plate at home, and they can't afford to buy a piece of tile. Even if you don't have any money, it's always okay to exchange some grain for some straw when the time comes.

After talking about the roof, everyone's topic returned to the wheat in the field, and they shouted Lin Shuqing to the front.

"Shu Qing girl, the water in this field is almost gone, you see when to fertilize!" Rizheng asked as he stood up.

The people around made way for Lin Shuqing and sent her to the middle.

Lin Shuqing cleared her throat and said, "Grandpa Lizheng, I've seen it today." The water in the ground has indeed been released, but there is still water in some potholes. ”

"Today's wind is still blowing, my fertilizer is afraid of water and wind, if the wind is less tomorrow, you can naturally start fertilizing."

When they heard that they could start fertilizing, everyone was a little excited, and the wheat could be saved.

But after a while, Lin Shuqing poured cold water on everyone again.

"But this wheat can't be fertilized right away!"
