Chapter 9: A New Home Completed
When walking back with thatch on his back, Lin Ruan found a wild pear tree that was not very tall on the side of the road, and his mind moved, and the picture of more than ten yellow and clear pears hanging on the wild pear tree came to his mind.
When he opened his eyes again, Lin Ruan said in surprise: "You see that there seems to be fruit on that tree." ”
Without waiting for everyone to see clearly, she ran over with the thatch on her back, picked all the pears from the tree, and came back with her clothes, and divided one among them, and prepared to take the rest back and distribute it to the men who were building the wall.
This trip out to cut the grass, pheasants and pears,
The harvest is very rewarding.
Several people had smiles on their faces.
Back at the old mansion, Lin Ruan took out the pears and beckoned the working man to come over and eat the fruit.
Lin Sanlang took a big bite of the pear, and said while chewing: "Ah Ruan's eyes are really good, how many times have we walked on this road, but we didn't even find that there were pears on the tree." ”
"Not only are the eyes good, but the accuracy and skills are not bad, look at this big pheasant, where can ordinary people catch it."
Everyone praised Lin Ruan one by one, but only Lin Han had a small face and looked at Lin Ruan deeply.
Aunt Zhou took the big pheasant home to clean it up, and Lin Ruan and the Qin family went to cut the grass again.
When they returned, they brought back a lot of pears.
This pear, it was "discovered" by the Qin family in the grass, a small pear tree, with more than 20 large pears on it, and everyone was dumbfounded.
For lunch, Aunt Zhou and Mrs. Zhou brought it to the old mansion to eat.
Aunt Zhou's cooking skills are very good, the pheasant was chopped into finger-sized pieces by her, fried with spicy seeds, and stewed with some beans, which made a big pot. In addition, I fried two large pots of vegetables grown at home and steamed a large pot of wowotou.
The countrymen did not pay much attention to the different banquets between men and women, so they divided the dish into two portions and laid them on the stones, and everyone sat around and ate them with relish. While eating, he praised Aunt Zhou's craftsmanship.
Aunt Zhou was praised and looked very proud.
Xiuxiu's mouth was so spicy that her mouth was red, but she was reluctant to put the chopsticks, Lin Ruan was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand it, so she peeled a pear and fed it to her.
The little girl opened her mouth and ate the pears with a "ah-woo", because the pears were too big, the whole mouth was stuffed, and her cheeks were bulging, like a little squirrel.
Lin Ruan was so cute by her cute little appearance that she didn't want it, and she peeled pears and fed them.
Lin Han glanced at her, "Xiuxiu is still young, pears are cold, it's not good to eat too much." ”
"Oh," Lin Ruan's outstretched hand twisted around, stuffed the pear into his mouth, and continued to eat.
Lin Han looked at her, lowered his eyes, and unconsciously exerted force in his hand holding Wowotou.
After lunch, everyone took a short break and started to get busy again.
The old house was not big, and one of them collapsed a little badly, and the wall was no longer usable, so that one was temporarily abandoned, and the remaining two, before dark, were cleaned up, and the well platform was rebuilt.
At night, he still stayed at Aunt Zhou's house.
Early the next morning, Aunt Zhou picked up two idle household belongings from the house and carried her two sons to the courtyard.
"Ah Ruan, don't dislike these old things, make do with them first, and when I get around, I'll ask your uncle to go up the mountain to cut down a few trees and give you two kinds of household goods."
Where would Lin Ruan dislike it, although these two pieces of furniture are very old, the friendship of the Zhou family is priceless. She hadn't experienced such pure emotion in years.
As soon as the two items were carried to the old mansion and settled, the patriarch brought several people carrying the household goods and carrying cloth bags to rush over.
Lin Ruan's sister and brother hurriedly came out.
The patriarch walked around the old mansion and nodded.
"It's a little simpler, but it's still inhabitable. These household items are all things of the clan, you can make do with them first, and if you have the ability to replace them with new ones in the future, you will bring them back and return them to the clan. ”
said, and pointed to the cloth bag again, "Here are thirty catties of coarse grain noodles, you eat them first, you should be able to last until the autumn harvest." ”
On behalf of the head of the family, Lin Han took the things and bowed deeply to the patriarch.
"Patriarch Grandpa, thank you for taking care of you."
The patriarch helped him up and patted him on the shoulder: "Good boy, live well, life will always improve." By the way, what about your dad? Didn't he come? ”
Lin Han pursed his lips and didn't speak.
The patriarch snorted with displeasure: "This Lin Zhong is really useless!" A big man, he can't even be his own home, he really loses the face of his ancestors! ”
didn't want to make Lin Han's sisters and brothers feel uncomfortable, so the patriarch didn't say much, let people move their belongings into the house, and took people away.
After everyone left, Lin Ruan pulled Lin Xiu into the house, looked at the simple furnishings in the house, and couldn't help but smile and squint.
In the future, this is her base, and she will definitely build this place better and better!
Xiuxiu walked around the house, curiously touched east and west, tilted her little head and asked, "Sister, will we live here in the future?" ”
Although she is still young, Xiuxiu has learned a lot of things, they haven't gone home for the past few days, and she vaguely guesses that they won't go back to their original home in the future.
Lin Ruan picked her up and asked with a smile, "Does Xiuxiu like it here?" ”
"I like it, but sister, what about Daddy? Why isn't he here? ”
"Daddy is still in his original home, and he won't live with us in the future."
As soon as Xiuxiu heard this, her small mouth immediately flattened, "I miss my father, I want to live with my father." Sister, shall we take my father over as well? Mother is so fierce, she will bully her father. ”
Lin Ruan is a little big, how should she explain this problem to this little girl?
Lin Han suddenly roared: "What do you think!" Don't think about him in the future! He doesn't want us anymore, what do you want him to do? ”
Xiuxiu was stunned by the roar, and then cried loudly.
"I miss Daddy...... I want to go home...... Daddy......"
Lin Han was so uncomfortable by her crying that he couldn't pull his head to coax, so he had to continue yelling: "Don't cry!" ”
The more he roared, the more Xiuxiu cried, and in the end he couldn't breathe, and his little face was red from crying.
Lin Ruan rubbed the corners of her forehead, she was completely inexperienced in coaxing children. In the end, I had no choice but to bend down and pick up Xiuxiu and leave the house.
"Xiuxiu, don't cry, how about Sister turn your head over for you?"
"I'm going home, I'm looking for Daddy...... Hiccup...... Sister, shall we go home and find Daddy? ”
Once the child has drilled the tip of the horns, he will admit that one is dead, and cry so much that he almost pouts.
Lin Ruan was sweating from her crying, and she really didn't know how to coax her, so she finally had to grit her teeth and carry her to the village.
"What are you going to do?"
Lin Han chased after him, with a small face.
"Send her back to Lin's house to see her father, otherwise she won't be able to stand crying like this again."
When Xiuxiu heard her say this, her crying became much quieter.
Lin Han stepped forward to stop them, "Don't go!" ”
Yes, now Zi Xiuxiu cried even more.
How could Lin Ruan take this little child's words seriously, stretched out his hand and pulled him, pushed him aside, and strode towards the Lin family with Xiuxiu in his arms.
Lin Han was so angry that he stomped his feet, and finally had to follow helplessly.
