CHAPTER XXXI

When a few girls get married, they can also bring more money with them......

The Wang family and Lin Baoru in the house didn't know what Lin Mancang thought. At this moment, the two of them took the cloth bag wrapped in copper plates and gossiped next to each other.

Probably feeling relaxed in his heart, and feeling that there was hope for the future, Wang always had a long-lost smile on his face.

"I bought a lot of fabric today, if I cut more leftovers in Ming'er, my mother will sew a cotton belly pocket for you." Wang touched his daughter's boring hair, and said with pity, "It is said that the eldest girl loves to be pretty, and my Baoru is also the age of Aiqiao!" ”

The two of them said a few more words, and Wang lay down first.

At this time, Cai Ru and Cai He, who had been scrubbing the dishes and chopsticks outside, also entered the house. When they saw that the Wang family had rested, they went to the edge of the kang lightly and said, "Sister, the water in the pot is hot. ”

In the past, they were reluctant to use firewood to boil hot water, but today they got up early and said that they would boil hot water for the eldest sister at night. And the mother also said that they will wash in the future. Foot washing dishes can be done with warm water.

Although they didn't understand why their mother had changed her temper, they were still happy in their hearts.

Lin Baoru smiled, and took the two of them to get hot water to wash their faces. Foot. The three sisters sat on a small bench, put their feet in the large wooden basin of their laundry clothes, and soaked their feet while chattering.

"Eldest sister, do you think we can do this every day in the future?"

The two little ones looked at Lin Baoru with big eyes, and the trust and excitement in their eyes made Lin Baoru's heart soft and warm.

She understood what the two of them meant, they were not greedy, they just wanted to be able to eat as well as today, and they could also use hot water. But the more this happens, the more distressing it becomes.

So she nodded and said softly, "It will only be better in the future than now." ”

When Cai Ru and Cai He heard this, they immediately smiled, and the crooked appearance of their eyebrows and eyes made Lin Baoru rare.

The three sisters quarreled for a while before returning to the house. It's just that even if they have to lie down and sleep, Cai Ru and Cai He have to guard their eldest sister one by one, which provokes Lin Baoru to laugh at the heads of the two of them again.

On the second day, as soon as it was dawn, Lin Baoru woke up. She stared sleepily at the crumbling roof, feeling a little unclear.

It wasn't until she felt the small hand around her neck move that she came back to her senses.

Lin Baoru turned her head sideways, and when she saw Cai Ru and Cai He who were sleeping with red faces and fluttering faces, she couldn't tell whether she was melancholy or relieved. This is probably the biggest sequelae of her crossing over, often dreaming of her past life in her dreams, and then leaving herself confused in her half-asleep.

But she smiled in the end, reached out and stuffed Caihe's arm into the warm quilt, and then gently lifted the corner of the quilt and went down the kang.

Outside, the Wang family was burning a fire in front of the stove, probably because she had food at home, so she was also very relieved at this time.

Lin Baoru washed her face with warm water, and as soon as she approached the stove, she smelled a smell of rice that she hadn't smelled for a long time. Even if you haven't tasted it yet, you can still smell a hint of sweetness.

When Wang saw her coming, he said, "Let Cairu get up a few little ones, clean up, and it's time to have an early meal." ”

Lin Baoru nodded and went to call Cairu a few times to get up. Cairu and Caihe didn't sleep in the first place, but when they woke up and saw that the sky was bright, they couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

"Eldest sister, we don't want to be lazy...... The two girls are Ai Ai, who has always regarded herself as a little adult, and they are a little embarrassed at this time.

In the past, most of them got up when it was dawn, and when it was early, they could do more work for their own family, or pick up some scraps of firewood to burn at home. During the day, they still have to work for their grandmother and aunt, either cutting the grass that causes the fire or showing the third cousin to the eldest aunt, or helping the eldest sister and her mother to wash their clothes.

But if they get up late and delay the work of grandma and aunt, they will have to be scolded.

Lin Baoru rubbed the rough heads of the two of them, thinking about how the family had lived in the past, her heart was a little heavy.

My three sisters, but whoever touches them, will praise them for being sensible and capable. But if it weren't for the fact that life was too hard, who could be childish at all with such a big child?

If you don't usually suffer too many grievances, who will feel embarrassed because you get up a little late?

Lin Baoru helped Xiaoshan get dressed, and at the same time comforted the sisters who were blushing and bowing their heads: "It's okay, we won't be able to go so early in the future, and you don't have to be afraid of being squeezed by grandma and auntie, they can't control us now." ”

Cai Ru hesitated, looked up at Lin Baoru and said, "Sister, I still feel like a dream." ”

Caihe on the side heard this, and nodded again and again.

"Dreaming of a full stomach?" Lin Baoru was amused by Cai Ru's old-fashioned expression, "You can't eat meat in your stomach in your dreams." ”

As soon as Cai Ru and Cai He heard this, they couldn't help but grin and touch their bellies. Although it had been a night, they could still recall the taste of the shredded radish stew at last dinner.

Lin Baoru looked at the appearance of the two of them, raised her hand and gave each of them a brain meltdown, "Okay, hurry up and wash your face, my mother has cooked a pot of brown rice porridge, if you get up late, beware that I, my mother and my eldest brother have finished eating!" ”

Although they knew that their eldest sister was joking, Cairu and Caihe hurriedly folded the quilt, rolled up the kang quilt that they were reluctant to lay during the day, and then jumped to the yard to wash their faces.

"Sister, I'm sleepy." Xiaoshan said in a milky voice, and her little head rubbed her eldest sister's neck.

The fluffy hair, the neck and face of Lin Baoru are itchy, and his confused appearance makes Lin Baoru's hands itch a little.

"Wipe your face first, eat some rice porridge and then go to sleep." Lin Baoru pinched his face, and it wasn't until the little guy opened her hazy sleepy eyes that she smiled and kissed the little face twice.

was kissed by his favorite eldest sister, Lin Xiaoshan was a little shy, so he simply buried his face in the arms of his eldest sister and said nothing.

Lin Baoru saw that the little guy was awake, so she walked out with someone in her arms.

As soon as she helped a few small ones clean up herself, she saw Lin Mancang carrying two bundles of firewood into the courtyard.

Lin Mancang glanced at his sister and younger brother, and then glanced at the water in the wooden basin, and saw that the water was still steaming, and his brows were relaxed.

"What happened to Big Brother just now?" Cai Ru noticed that her eldest brother seemed to be a little different from before, so she looked at her eldest sister suspiciously.

Lin Baoru smiled and accepted the cloth towel, "Big brother feels sorry for us, I'm afraid that we will wash our faces with cold water!" ”

Xu had Lin Baoru's words, and when eating, Lin Cairu also plucked up the courage to hand the dry food to the eldest brother, "Big brother, eat cakes!" ”

Lin Mancang took a rough sip of porridge, glanced at her, and said in a dry voice, "You eat." ”

In fact, Lin Cairu and Lin Caihe can't say that they are afraid of their eldest brother, but in the past few years, the eldest brother has never talked to them, even if they pestered the eldest brother and wanted to complain, they couldn't get any response. After a long time, they are no longer close to their eldest brother, and even the rare memory of the eldest brother catching crickets for them has been forgotten.

But now it's different, the eldest sister said that the eldest brother felt sorry for them......

Seeing that his second sister had won the care of his eldest brother, Cai He also leaned over and handed the cake in his hand to his eldest brother, "Big brother, my cake will also be eaten for you." ”

Lin Mancang glanced at his third sister a little blankly, and twitched his cheeks, but he still couldn't laugh. He pinched the chopsticks in his hand with some restraint, and then held back for a long time before saying: "Third sister, you eat, eldest brother has the strength, and he can earn money to let you eat in the future!" ”

This is not coherent, but the hearts of everyone at the table are warm.

Wang looked at the scene of his children loving each other, and saw that his son was really getting better and better, and his heart was happy and complicated.

Now she completely believes in her daughter's conjecture. I'm afraid that my son has been bullied for too long, and gradually he is reluctant to talk to others. If you think about it carefully, her concessions over the years, as well as her neglect of her son, are probably the reasons why her son has become a fool in the mouths of others.

Thinking of this, the Wang family complained more and more about himself, and of course he was more determined that he would never blindly tolerate it in the future.

Her forbearance not only did not let the children get half of the benefits, but even almost broke up the family.

And in front of the eyes, it has only been two days since the family was separated, and their family's life has become easier. Even if they haven't survived the winter, the family has felt the taste of the day for the first time.

To be honest, even she thinks that such a day is promising, no matter what happens in the future, at least no matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than before the separation!

Wang Shi rubbed the corners of his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, knowing that your brother and sister have a good relationship, isn't there still dry food on the table?" ”

Several people happily ate a meal of brown rice porridge, no meat, no vegetables, not even shredded pickles, but the family just felt satisfied for a long time.

After eating, Wang told Lin Baoru a few more words, and then took the copper plates that he counted last night, and took Lin Mancang to the village to repay the money door to door.

Now because of the separation of the family, many people in the village know the dirty things about the Lin family's wife and son in the same second room. So when he saw that the Wang family brought Lin Mancang to repay the money, he naturally persuaded him again, and he just sighed at the hardships of their mothers.

Lin Mancang didn't speak, but Wang patted the sisters-in-law who were holding their hands and talking: "No matter what you say, my mother-in-law is an elder, and my sister-in-law is my aunt and aunt, so we still have to respect it in the future." It's just that I've figured it out in the past few days, that is, if I respect that side again, I have to take care of my own children first......"

The benevolence and righteousness of these words provoked many seniors to nod at the Wang family again and again, and even some men who don't like to mix with gossip between women can't stop sighing when they look at the Wang family and Lin Mancang.

"I don't know what the elder brother and sister-in-law of the Lin family think, what a good daughter-in-law and child, I want to look at it much better than the Lin family's eldest family."

"Hey, what else can you think, isn't it just around the sons of the old family? Listening to my mother-in-law, the old lady of the Lin family and the Zhang family talk about Lin Youzhi every day what kind of Wenqu star is reincarnated, and he will be blessed in the future......"

This is what the people in the village are talking about in private, and if it is put on the big picture, maybe they will have to make the Liu family and the Zhang family make a joke.

If it had been placed in the past, the big guy might have hindered the Lin family from having a scholar to compliment a few words, but now Lin Youzhi's reputation has long been stinky. Even when he went out of the village, he met a stinky fart and braggart at the door, and he would let people whistle a few times and shout a few words.

When the crop households are slack, the matter of needles and threads can spread all over a village, not to mention that Lin Youzhi provoked the town's gentlemen to be blocked in front of the door and splash dung, I am afraid that the discussion of the people in the village will not fall for three or five years.

Lin Baoru didn't care about what the people in the village thought of them now, she now called Cairu and Caihe, who were about to go out to pick up firewood with Xiaoshan, and asked, "Cairu, are there still pigs killed in our village today?" ”

Cai Ru glanced at her suspiciously, she didn't know what her eldest sister was asking for, and they didn't have pigs at home, even if they wanted to find the pig maker, it was useless.
