Lin Han took advantage of the last bit of light to make dinner.

Coarse grain cakes with cold wild vegetables look very average, and they are just enough to eat.

Xiuxiu sat in front of the courtyard gate, looking at the path leading to the mountain.

Looking at a figure walking in twilight from a distance, Xiuxiu stood up excitedly, clapped her little hands and said, "Brother, Sister is back, she brought a lot of things back, you go and pick her up." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Lin Han rushing out like a gust of wind.

When Lin Ruan saw him coming, he was not polite, he directly handed over the basket of mushrooms, carried a deer with his limbs tied, and walked home with the grape basket.

Lin Han turned his head as he walked, his eyes wandering over the deer.

Lin Ruan asked amusedly, "Haven't seen it?" ”

Lin Han shook his head: "This thing is running so fast, how did you catch it?" ”

Not only did they catch it, but they didn't hurt it at all, which is the weirdest part.

"If you want to catch it, you have a way to catch it, go, hurry into the house, don't let people see it."

The pair of antlers on the head of the deer alone must be worth a lot of money, and if the villagers bump into it, they will have to say something again.

Although she separated from Lin Han's brothers and sisters, with the virtue of those people in the Lin family, if they knew that they had money in their hands, they would definitely rush over like bloodsuckers.

She is not afraid of the Lin family, but she hates trouble, if she can do less, why should she have more.

Lin Han naturally understood this truth, and knew that the Lin family had not come to make trouble quietly in the past few days, but he was just thinking that the few of them were young and weak, and he was afraid that they would return to the Lin family again.

Getting the things back to the yard, Lin Ruan fetched water to wash his face, and let Xiuxiu circle around the deer.

After cleaning herself up, she poured the wilting mushrooms into a large pot, took out the headless snake, and laid it by the basket, ready to peel it and roast it.

Xiuxiu just turned her head and was so frightened that she fell on her ass.

"Sister! Snakes, there are big snakes! Come on! ”

Lin Ruan kicked the snake with his foot, "Don't be afraid, die, Sister will roast and eat it for you in a while." ”

Xiuxiu was so scared that she didn't dare to come to Lin Ruan.

Lin Ruan knew that children were timid and didn't dare to joke about it, so he hurriedly took the snake and went to the river to clean it up.

When I came back after cleaning up, I found that Xiuxiu had been hiding in the house and didn't dare to come out.

Lin Ruan smiled, didn't care about her, set up the shelf, chopped the skinned snake into palm-length segments, and carefully placed it on the shelf.

In order to scare Lin Liu's clan before, this snake was made a lot bigger by Lin Ruan's ability, and after peeling the skin, there were still three or four catties, which was chopped eight pieces.

Lin Han was also a little afraid of snakes, but he was a boy anyway, so he didn't dare to show it, so he helped make a fire.

After a while, the smell of snake meat wafted across the yard, and even Xiuxiu, who was too scared to show her head, couldn't help but rub over.

The three siblings gathered around the fire, staring at the bubbling snake flesh and swallowing their saliva.

Finally, the snake meat was cooked, and the three siblings were about to eat it, when suddenly there was a knock on the dilapidated wooden door of the yard.

Lin Han asked, "Who?" ”

There was a voice outside the door that the three siblings did not expect.

"Akan opened the door, it's me."

"It's Daddy!"

Xiuxiu's eyes lit up, she didn't care about snake meat, and went to open the door with her legs.

Lin Zhong stood outside the door a little crampedly, carrying a dusty cloth bag in his hand.

As soon as Lin Han saw Lin Zhong, his face sank, and he turned his head to enter the house.

Lin Zhong hurriedly stopped him: "Akan, this is the food that my father has managed to buy with money these days, hurry up and take it in." ”

Lin Han's expression moved slightly, but he still said coldly, "We don't scarce your things, even if we starve to death, we won't eat a grain of your grain!" ”

Lin Zhong was stunned suddenly, looking at his son who was completely complaining about him, and couldn't help but reddening his eyes.

"Akan, Dad knows that you are complaining about Dad, but you know your grandmother's temperament, and Dad really can't ......help it."

"You can't help it, so you deserve the three of us? You go, don't come here if you have nothing to do in the future, otherwise the Wang family will know about it, and we will have to make trouble again, and we can't afford to make trouble. ”

After speaking, Lin Han turned around and entered the house.

Lin Zhong looked at his back, tears flashing in his eyes, and turned his head to look at Lin Ruan as if asking for help.

"Ah Ruan, you can accept this bit of food. You are young, it is not easy to live on your own, and your father has no ability, so he can only take out such a little thing. It's not that my father didn't want to come over to help a few days ago, but it was your mother and your grandmother who ......."

Lin Ruan shook his head: "Dad, you better take these grains back, Akan won't agree to me to accept it." You don't have to worry about starvation, we have hands and feet, and we can always find something to eat. ”

She didn't have a good impression of Lin Zhong, weak and stupid, but for the sake of his good relationship with the original owner, she still saved him a lot of face. Otherwise, according to her temperament, she would have thrown the door directly to pick people up.

Lin Zhong saw that the children refused to ask for his things, and he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe.

He knew what the problem was, but there really wasn't anything he could do.

A filial piety word is bigger than the sky, he can't do it against his mother.

"Dad, go back quickly, otherwise if the Wang family knows that you came to deliver food, it will definitely make trouble again. We finally gave birth and didn't want to toss anymore. ”

Lin Ruan's release made Lin Zhong so ashamed that he couldn't raise his head.

It's because he has no ability, and he can't even control his mother-in-law, so the children have been wronged.

In the end, Lin Zhong had to slump his shoulders and reluctantly turn away, his back lonely and helpless.

Xiuxiu couldn't help but sobbed quietly, "Sister, Daddy is so pitiful, I don't want Daddy to go." ”

But she also knew that this was impossible, so she begged, "Sister, can you give your father some meat?" Daddy hasn't eaten meat in a long time. ”

Lin Ruan looked at her pitiful little appearance and couldn't bear to refuse.

"Yes, you can take a piece of meat and send it to him, but Xiuxiu must remember that the deer in the family can't let his father know."

"Why?"

Xiuxiu is young and can't think of so much.

"Dad is cowardly, if the Wang family cheats him, Luzi won't be able to keep it."

Xiuxiu suddenly understood, nodded vigorously, grabbed a piece of snake meat that was still a little hot and chased it out.

"Daddy, you wait for me."

Lin Zhong was squatting on the side of the road to wipe his tears, when he heard the voice, he quickly wiped his face, and when he turned around, he saw Xiuxiu running towards him in the night.

Worried that Xiuxiu would fall, he hurriedly stepped forward to catch her.

"Xiuxiu, what's wrong? Did your sister ask you to take the food back? ”

Xiuxiu shook her head and handed over the snake meat in her hand.

"Daddy, this is the big snake that Sister hit today, it's so fragrant, we haven't eaten it yet. Daddy, eat quickly. ”

When Lin Zhong heard this, he hurriedly pushed the meat back: "Xiuxiu, it's not easy for you to make a mess, keep it for yourself to eat, Daddy is not hungry." ”

Xiuxiu didn't give him a chance to refuse, turned his head and ran back.

Lin Zhong listened to her footsteps and walked away, and then looked down at the snake meat in his hand, and the tears that had just stopped welled up again.
