Chapter 7: Changing Directions
Wen Liang looked up and looked around, the expressions on the big guys' faces were different, some were happy and some continued to be sad.
The second bucket of grain is not much, but it is not a small amount for some families, enough to chew for ten days.
"Since the big guys are all here, let me ask, is there anyone willing to exchange two buckets of grain for this recipe?" Wen Liang raised his voice.
There was no silence in the crowd for a moment.
"Have you thought about it, when the wheat in the field dies, there will be no four sheaves of grain that will be missing. If you don't want to use it, I'll use it myself. Wen Liang continued.
As soon as these words fell, there was a little excitement in the cave.
"My family has changed ......"
"My family will change too!"
The more than 30 households in the village basically shouted. Everyone has changed, and so have they.
Zhou sat in the corner, his face was extremely ugly, and he stared viciously in Lin Shuqing's direction. Like a tiger on the verge of rage, he couldn't wait to step forward and tear Lin Shuqing apart.
Lin Dalang on the side tugged at the corner of Chen's clothes and gave her a look.
Chen understood, and persuaded Zhou with a slightly distorted smile: "Mother, don't be angry, this girl will marry out sooner or later, this recipe is still our Lin family, and when the time comes, you still have the final say." ”
Wen Liang looked around and said with great satisfaction: "Is there anyone who doesn't want to change the formula?" ”
Zhou Shi dragged the eldest daughter-in-law beside him to the side and said angrily: "I want to ask, does my Lin family have to exchange food for their own recipes?" ”
Lin Dalang sighed helplessly, his mother's temperament just couldn't be persuaded.
The fires in the cave are scattered, the lights are a little dim, and listening to the sound over there, I probably know who asked.
The mother-in-law of the Lin family, Lin Shuqing and her grandmother.
Wen Liang glanced at Lin Shuqing's face without a trace, and he had also heard a little about the Lin family. He replied to the person over there: "This, this Lin Saburo has been separated from the family tree, and it stands to reason that you are two families......"
The children of Lin Sanlang's family have a hard time, and if they can help ask for more food, they have to ask for it.
"Wu Wan'er married into my Lin family, she was born as a member of the Lin family, and died as a ghost of the Lin family. This recipe is our Lin family's! Zhou said fiercely, waking up many sleeping children.
When Lin Shuqing heard this, she was not angry, and responded with a smile: "Grandpa Lizheng, my grandmother wants to use a recipe, so naturally she doesn't need to give food!" Grandma also brought us two bags of food in the morning, afraid that our sister and brother would be hungry. ”
"If I collect my grandmother's two buckets of grain for such a recipe, wouldn't it seem that my granddaughter is too unfilial and impersonal. So I won't take my grandmother's food, and the big guy doesn't have any opinion. ”
These words were not only for Zhou's ears, but also for the people in the village. Although the two families are separated, it is difficult to guarantee that some people have some opinions, thinking that there is no need to accept relatives in this village, and they are all in the same genealogy.
Their own grandmothers have sent them, what do they care about?
Wen Liang looked at Lin Shuqing in front of him, and there was a bit of regret in his eyes. He didn't know what was going on here, but he felt that Lin Shuqing was capable, but unfortunately he wasn't a man, otherwise he would definitely have something to do in the future.
"Since no one is unwilling, then this matter is decided! Now I don't have a pen and paper, so I won't sign and draw, and I'll be the guarantor, and I'll use Lin Shuqing's prescription to give the second bucket of grain. If someone doesn't give it or is short of two catties, don't blame me for being ruthless......" Wen Liang shouted.
Lin Shuqing followed and thanked him: "Grandpa Lizheng, thank you." ”
Wen Liang arched his hand and said, "It's me and the people in the village who want to thank you!" If you don't do it, the wheat in this field will probably die. ”
Knowing how to save the wheat, the men couldn't sit still.
The wind and rain outside are a little lighter, but the water is still standing in the ground! What should I do if the wheat dies? One by one, they pulled the grown sons of the family and prepared to go to the field to have a look in the dark, and the cave was lively again.
Zhou sat in the corner, trembling with anger. How dare Lin Shuqing threaten her with this matter again! If she can't clean up this little slut, she will live to such an old age in vain!
Lin Dalang saw that the people in the cave were moving, and he also picked up the robe, and with Lin Shuqing's words, he could not follow. He instructed Chen: "You take care of your mother, don't let her be angry anymore." ”
Chen's face was not very good-looking, and the food sent to Lin Shuqing was taken from her room. Perfunctory: "Got it!" ”
It is not a big job to dig up the ridges and release water, but it is difficult to walk in the dark. Even if they didn't go, they couldn't sleep even if they lay here thinking about the wheat in the field, and the cave was lively until the middle of the night, when everyone came back wet, and they were safe.
The next morning, before dawn, the cave was lively again.
He who boils water boils water, and he who chops wood chops wood. Lin Shuqing rubbed her sleepy eyes and gave Lin Zhisheng something to eat. There is no milk for the children at home, so they can only eat some rice soup paste.
The fire had just burned here, and she could only hear someone shouting to her next door.
"Shu Qing, you woke up so early! I didn't bring anything to eat with me when I came to the cave, and you have these eggs. A woman with a thick waist and a round face next to her handed over a few eggs.
Lin Shuqing looked at it fixedly, it was an aunt surnamed Fang in the village.
"Auntie, no, I have food here." Lin Shuqing excused himself.
Aunt Fang's face was a little bruised, it looked like she was injured when it was hailing yesterday, and the clothes on her body were also covered with a lot of scars from the wattle grass.
"Don't be polite to your aunt, it's not a good thing, your younger brothers and sisters are still young, so they should make up for it." Aunt Fang separated the eggs and left immediately.
Lin Shuqing looked at the few fragrant eggs stained with chicken feathers, and just wanted to shout, but when she saw the people who were still sleeping around, she immediately paused.
Next, there was an endless stream of people delivering things. This family sent a few radish, the other sent a few green vegetables, his family sent a few nests, and some came with rice porridge.
Fill this place!
Lin Shuqing saw it in her eyes, and she felt a little unhappy in her heart.
Seeing that the people in the cave woke up one after another, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Uncles and aunts, who has a big cauldron, lend me a mouthful and cook some hot soup." ”
Someone in the crowd immediately responded: "I have a big iron pot at home!" ”
"I heard my mother say that soup made with white radish and coriander can drive away cold and sweat. There are too many things everyone sends, and our sisters and brothers can't use them, so cook some soup and give it to the elderly and children who are drenched in the rain......" Lin Shuqing dragged her mother out again as a shield.
When she was a child, she lived in her grandmother's house during the winter and summer vacations, and her grandmother's house was in the mountains. It's not a precious prescription, it can only drive away cold and sweat, and if you are seriously ill with wind and cold, you have to find a doctor.
Hearing this, the child who was looking at his cough lying on the ground came to his senses.
