Chapter 47: Stirring up trouble
Wednesday Lang was just when he was greedy, smelling the fragrance, his saliva was about to flow all over the ground, and when he heard Lin Ruan say this, he also said: "Mother, Ah Ruan is right, eat it quickly, it won't be fragrant when it's cold." ”
Aunt Zhou glared at him angrily.
Lin Ruan saw that everyone refused to move the chopsticks, so he simply took a piece of rabbit meat and fed it to Aunt Zhou's mouth.
"Auntie, come, taste."
She was like this, Aunt Zhou was embarrassed to excuse herself, and quickly opened her mouth to take the meat.
Wednesday Lang kept swallowing his saliva, "Mother, what's the matter, is it delicious?" ”
Aunt Zhou couldn't stop nodding: "It's delicious, it's delicious, Ah Ruan, your craftsmanship is really good." ”
Lin Ruan couldn't help but smile when she heard this, she liked others to praise her skills the most.
"Don't be stunned, let's eat, let's continue to work after eating."
Wednesday Lang roared and grabbed the chopsticks and stuffed the rabbit meat into his mouth, usually unable to stop the food, and today he was stunned and didn't say a word.
The others were not far behind, and the chopsticks went straight to the basin, but the food brought by Zhou Lian'er and the Qin family was neglected. However, the two of them didn't feel unhappy at all, it was really Lin Ruan's craftsmanship that was so good that the food they cooked couldn't be compared with others.
The two families ate on the ground, and from time to time there would be villagers passing by with buds on their backs, smelling the fragrance, they were reluctant to leave, and deliberately took advantage of the stubble to talk to the Zhou family, stretching their necks to look into the basin.
The villagers are very hospitable, and when they meet such a person who clearly wants to eat, they will usually take the initiative to ask them to come over and eat together.
It's a pity that no one spoke today.
The Zhou family did not open their mouths because the rabbit meat and grilled fish were prepared by Lin Ruan. They don't have the face to take Lin Ruan's things to do favors.
And Lin Ruan's impression of the people in the village is average, except for the few families who came to help them build houses, other people are worse than strangers to her, so naturally she will not invite them.
The men waited for a long time, but they did not speak, so they had to walk away. Scolding in my heart while walking, I'm really stingy, I can't bear to eat a bite, phew!
When Lin Tiegen and his wife passed by with buds on their backs, they saw Lin Ruan and the Zhou family sitting together eating and laughing, and they were so angry that their teeth itched.
Thinking that her husband and wife were so embarrassed in the village, she couldn't wait to throw Lin Ruan's little cheap hoof face on it.
But she also knew that if she wanted to clean up Lin Ruan, she couldn't do it on her own. That little is now capable, not like before, he can't knock out a fart with three sticks, if he comes forward to trouble her, he will definitely be as unpleasing as he is today.
But if you want her to swallow this breath, it is absolutely impossible.
She can't clean it up, someone can always clean it up!
Zhang gritted his teeth, and a burst of malice flashed in his eyes.
Lin Ruan didn't care what others were doing, and they didn't care if the Zhang family had any bad ideas, after eating and drinking enough, they began to work again.
After three days of hurrying, the two acres of bud rice of Lin Ruan's family were finally broken.
After the stick is broken, the next step is to cut down the bud rice stalk and drag it home, the vacant land will not be idle for too long, before the middle of the ninth lunar month, the wheat must be planted quickly, otherwise it will affect the harvest of the next year.
The days of the farmer are not a few days to spare.
Lin Ruan took the newly bought firewood knife, bent over, and chopped the bud rice stalks with quick movements, while Lin Han followed behind her, put the cut bud rice stalks together and broke them into bundles, and then put several bundles of bud rice stalks together and stood in the ground to dry for some time, and when they were completely dried, they could be used as firewood.
The bud rice poles on the two acres of land were also cut quickly, Lin Ruan moved quickly, and he cut down all the poles in half a day, and then helped Lin Han bundle them together.
The sisters and brothers were busy here, but they didn't know that the Zhang family, who had been holding back hatred, had a bad idea and went to the Lin family.
When Zhang entered the door, he saw Wang pinching his waist with one hand, and smashing Lin Mei's forehead with his finger with the other.
"Look at your stupid look! How did I give birth to such a useless thing as you! You can't even wash your clothes, what use are you! Don't hurry up and take it to rewash! There is also this yard, which will be swept in a while! ”
Lin Mei was so trained that she couldn't raise her head, she was unconvinced, but she didn't dare to say a word.
As soon as Zhang entered the door, he said, "Dani, what are you doing!" Ah Mei hasn't done this rough work in many places, why are you so willing to call her? This is your own daughter, don't you feel distressed? Look at this hand, it's only been a long time since I saw it, and it's been rough like this. ”
When Lin Mei heard her say this, she felt even more wronged, and tears rolled in her eyes.
"Aunt Cuihua, tell my mother quickly, I really can't stand it anymore."
Zhang clapped her hand, "Don't worry, I'll talk to your mother in a while, but I can't call you like this." You're already a big girl, it's time to let others go in the past two years, and you should take care of it. I see that you are a blessed person, maybe you can marry into the landlord's family as a young lady. ”
Lin Mei herself is a lazy eater, and when she heard this, she was so beautiful in her heart that she even imagined that she was married home by the son of the landlord's family with eight sedan chairs.
The Wang family also wished that her daughter could marry a good family, and she could follow the light, and when she heard Zhang's words, she said to Lin Mei, "Put the clothes there, you go and rest for a while." ”
Lin Mei was overjoyed for a moment, put her clothes on casually, turned around and entered her room.
Wang turned his head to look at Zhang, "Why are you free to come over today?" Have all the buds been harvested at home? ”
Zhang touched her wrist, how could her bud rice be harvested so quickly, but she made an excuse, saying that her wrist was pinched by Lin Ruan, and she couldn't do it. Lin Tiegen felt sorry for her, so he let her rest at home.
"What about you? Went to harvest buds for the old family again? ”
Wang nodded and led her into the house. "I've been there for three days, and I'm going to finish it in two more days."
Zhang's look angry,
"This Lin Lao is really, how can you let you help in the past every year? In previous years, even if it was over, Lin Ruan's cheap girl and that little could be collected at home first, and it wouldn't take too much effort. But this year, those two shitty things have been separated, and the work in this house is done by one person in charge of your family. ”
"You have several acres of land, how long will it take for you to get it done? If it doesn't work well in a day, and it rains for a few days, the buds will be rotten. This is half a year's harvest, and it's worth two or three taels of silver! If this is really bad, who are you going to cry to? How many sons can Boss Lin compensate you? ”
These words can be regarded as speaking to Wang's heart, she has been in a hurry for the past few days because there is no one to harvest the buds in the field.
The Lin family has a rule, every year when the farming is busy, the sons who are assigned must be harvested for the old Wang family.
