Chapter 35: Tempeh
Lin Zhili thought about it, but still secretly blamed himself in his heart for causing the dog. Originally, I wanted to give candy to the dog to eat, but I didn't expect him to make a mistake.
This feeling of guilt lasted until the next morning.
Lin Zhili got up early in the morning to work, fetching water to soak beans, sprinkle water, and chop wood for fire.
Since the morning, I have been busy, and I have picked out all the work that can be done at home.
For the sake of this, it is natural that Lin Gouer can do less work when he comes.
Lin Shuqiao was a little helpless holding a dustpan at the gate of the yard, and she did the work of feeding the chickens every morning.
Now that her brother has helped to do it, what is she doing.
"Second brother, why did you do all the work?" Lin Shuqiao pouted and said, a little dissatisfied.
Lin Zhili was working hard to carry firewood in the yard, and his head did not respond to Lin Shuqiao.
"You'll rest if I'm done!"
Originally, there was no big job at home, just washing clothes, and Lin Shuqing boiled hot water to wash them. The rest is to feed the chickens, carry water and chop firewood, etc., and there is no land or land at home.
It's cold, the clothes are less washed, and it's time to study when the work is done.
When Lin Gou'er came to Lin's house, he saw this scene.
The brothers and sisters drew words with tree branches on the sand table that Lin Shuqing had brought.
One by one, the range is wide.
Lin Shuqing, the pen, ink and paper inkstone in the county, asked, is it really expensive, she bought a book first.
I will buy the rest when I go to school in the future.
She can also teach some simple characters, but she is also a person who has attended a calligraphy club in college, and it is more than enough to teach a few children strokes, and she also follows the practice of the words in the book.
When the face is useful in the future, the written words are missing arms and legs, so it is a shame.
Lin Gou'er stood in the yard a little restrained, although he didn't know how to read, but at least he had read it, and he probably knew what Lin Zhishu was doing.
"Sister Lin, is there any work I can do? My mother asked me to work for you. Lin Gou'er whispered, a little lacking in confidence.
Before coming, his father and mother had carefully told him to come, and he must be careful when he wants the Lin family to work, if he breaks something to others, they don't care about compensation.
He also knows the conditions of his family clearly, if there is anything delicious to eat, it will naturally not be his turn, and there are brothers and younger brothers who want to marry daughters-in-law, and there are many places to spend money.
As for him......
Lin Shuqing looked at the Lin dog in front of him, and from the way he walked, Lin Shuqing could see that he had a problem with his right leg.
I didn't notice it when I stood outside yesterday, but now it looks like I walk up and down, and I'm a poor kid.
"I've done all the work at home, and there's nothing left to do!" Lin Zhili was the first to speak.
How can he blame Lin Gou'er for making a mistake!
Lin Gou'er didn't expect this, did he want to leave without work? Daddy is still at home, and he won't be able to escape if he goes back now.
looked at Lin Shuqing with pleading eyes.
Lin Shuqing has a little hatred for his stupid brother at this time, and it is naturally good to be able to protect his little friend, but he never thinks about the consequences of doing things, he just wants to do it himself.
Maybe it's just a child, so you shouldn't ask too much of him.
"Dog, come to me." Lin Shuqing said softly with a gentle face.
Lin Zhili's face was full of worry, and he shouted: "Sister......"
"Don't talk, listen."
"Dog, Zhili helped you finish your work today, because he felt that he was wrong and caused trouble. Follow them from tomorrow until dark. Lin Shuqing commanded.
Lin Zhili felt quite uncomfortable when he heard this, he was to blame for even the dog working here during the day, he couldn't wait to give himself a few punches.
"Dog, can you write your name?" Lin Shuqing then asked.
Writing names, naturally, is not possible, and there are few villages that can read and write.
What's more, their family, his brother can't.
The dog shook his head, looking at the sand on the ground with envy, but quickly withdrew his gaze.
"Then you can start with the name today! I work in my house, but I can read and count, I can't pay you much, and it is enough to read a title deed and notice in the future. Lin Shuqing said.
Learning words?
Lin Gou'er felt like he had been hit on the head by a pie!
How can there be such a good thing to be able to read here? He is dreaming, and he will not dream that he will have the opportunity to go to the academy.
"Sister Lin...... I...... Iā" Lin Gou'er was so happy that he stammered, and in the end he couldn't say anything.
"Alright, no further ado. Lin Zhili, you can write the dog's name, come and teach him! ā
"If you teach it wrong, you will be punished to write a hundred more times, and you will count it."
In this way, Lin Gou'er began to live a life of literacy in the Lin family every day. After knowing that he could read, he became more energetic than before, and he did not walk with his head down.
The children in the village said that he was lame and could not play with him, and that he would be lame, but for him everything was different.
The pain I have suffered in the past seems to have been made up for in this way.
Lin Gou'er didn't work for the Lin family, he did it lightly, and Lin Shuqing saw that he was really sad to be idle.
He would pull out half a bag of beans and let him pick out the bad ones and feed them to the chickens.
The daily morning food forest dogs are eaten at home, and the people in the village generally eat one meal in the morning and one meal in the evening, and eat less on days when they are not working.
The Lin family can't afford to eat three meals a day, and even occasionally cook an afternoon meal.
It's all because Lin Shuqing feels that the children are growing up, and they need to supplement all kinds of nutrients.
Lin Gou'er followed and ate two meals.
I can't eat enough at home on weekdays, but now I have made up for it at the Lin family, my thin cheeks have grown into meat, and my spirit is different from each other.
He Shi saw it in his eyes, and his heart became more and more jealous.
originally wanted to let him go to the Lin family to work, but now it seems that he didn't cheat and make money.
How rich the Lin family is, it can now be said to be as rich as the Du family, the only two families in the village.
The two of them make tofu, the Du family still provides a scholar, and there are so many children, there must be more places to spend money.
The Lin family is different, and there is no need for marriage and funeral, just a small child. Every day, baskets of change were shipped home, and I didn't see Lin Shuqing spend it.
The guy who came to the shopkeeper in that county often brought her gifts.
There are also merchants from the outer city and county next to it, who also came with a lot of gifts.
Although they all went to the Du family, the one from the Du family would call Lin Shuqing every time, and if they accepted it, Lin Shuqing would go back with a bunch of things.
The village is such a big place, everyone can see it clearly.
He thought that he couldn't let the oil and water shine be occupied by Lin Gou'er alone!
Lin Shuqing is very busy at this time, busy doing some new money-making business.
Money will eventually be spent for a day, and hard work can give her a stable heart.
