CHAPTER XXXV
Lin Baoru saw that the Wang family was alarmed, and hurriedly whispered: "Mother, it's okay, it's just that my arm is a little sore." ”
As she spoke, she was about to roll over and straighten her arms.
Wang snorted, didn't speak, just stumbled and got up. Got off the ground.
Lin Baoru didn't know what she was going to do, so she subconsciously asked, "It's dark outside, why are you going?" ”
Wang Shi pulled on his shoes, and was just about to go out when he heard his daughter speak.
She was worried that her daughter would get up, so she hurriedly whispered back to her: "Don't move, my mother will boil some hot water to free up your arms......
"As soon as you warm up at night, don't go out and toss, I'll be fine." Lin Baoru raised her head slightly, looked at the black rumbling appearance outside, and couldn't help pursing her lips and said.
The family is really poor, and they couldn't even eat enough before, so they were naturally reluctant to use oil lamps.
If you have to light it at night, most of them will also light the arquebuses that every household has.
It is said that it is a fire rope, but in fact, it is made of broken firewood and weeds, mixed with wormwood and penny growing on the riverside. When it's hot, the mosquitoes in the village are always annoying, and everyone will light the fire rope to smoke the mosquitoes. Of course, in addition to smoking mosquitoes, it can also make tinder.
Anyway, for the second room of the Lin family, they can't afford to light oil lamps, let alone the torches that many families will prepare.
It was also because he had never used an oil lamp at home these days, so when he was in the market, Lin Baoru didn't think about it at all.
Lin Baoru remembered that in the memory of the original body, the Wang family used to work for the old house during the day, and often took advantage of the moon and the earth to sew some manual work on the threshold at night to buy. It's a pity that it didn't take long for Wang's eyes to deteriorate, and at night he couldn't see the stitches clearly, so he gradually stopped doing it.
The original body also secretly sewed something under the moon, and after being discovered by the Wang family, he was worried that his daughter's eyes would be broken at a young age, so she was naturally not allowed to do it.
In all fairness, Wang is a wonderful mother. This point, even when he was annoyed that the Wang family was weak, Lin Baoru firmly believed in it. Moreover, every time she feels Wang's concern, her heart will be warm.
This is also why Lin Baoru will be so receptive to this family.
Although the mother prince will be confused, and will have the thoughts that women in this era often have, no matter what aspect she says, she will do her best to cherish the children. If she is cowardly and anxious, it is better to say that she was persecuted by those feudal dregs of three obedience and four virtues.
In addition to her unconditional tolerance of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, Wang can be regarded as a very resilient mother.
The eldest brother Lin Mancang has always been silent, as if he doesn't care about this family, but when it comes to a big event, he is biased towards protecting his mother and younger brothers and sisters.
As for Cai Ru and Cai He, not to mention, they are completely her little fan sisters. Cai Ru is not very old, but she can do things like a little adult, and now she has been with her for a long time, so she can be so childish.
Although Caihe has suffered a lot, she is simple-minded, except for the fear of her grandmother and uncle's family, the hardships in the past have not had much impact on her growth. Especially in the past few days after the separation, there is no one who makes her afraid to find fault, and she can be said to have regained the unique liveliness of a child.
Lin Xiaoshan is the youngest, and she always calls her eldest sister obediently, even if she falls down, she rarely cries non-stop. At most, it is a bag of tears, crying a few times, as long as someone coaxes it, it can be well-behaved immediately.
It can be said that several people in the family can make her feel the long-lost ease. At least, here, she no longer has to deal with the intrigues and intrigues she faced in her previous life to make a living, as well as those plastic family ties.
She was in a daze thinking about what she didn't have, when she suddenly felt someone sitting on the edge of the kang above her head.
Then, she heard Wang Shi say with distress: "You stretch out an arm first, and my mother will boil hot water for you." ”
Lin Baoru, who was a little sleepy, forced herself to open her eyes, and saw that she was still holding a cloth towel in her hand, so she hurriedly handed over her arm.
Wang carefully put the heat. The Teng Teng cloth towel was applied to his daughter's somewhat swollen arm, and when the cloth towel was a little cold, he quickly put it into the steaming boiling water basin at his feet and scalded it again.
After repeating it several times, the temperature left on the wrung out cloth towel slowly seeped into Lin Baoru's sore and unbearable arms. Although it was a little damp, it relieved the soreness of the arm slightly.
The Wang family was used to doing work, especially when her man was just gone, she supported the family for the first time. Heavy work, large and small, so I often feel sore in my arms, waist and legs. Even now, I still don't feel well.
So, she was a little worried about her own home. Baoru was also injured on her body.
From time to time, she gently pinched her daughter's arm, which made Lin Baoru, who was already more comfortable, more and more sleepy.
In the end, Lin Baoru fell asleep while muttering something to Wang.
Wang saw that his daughter was finally asleep, and he didn't dare to rub her again. Pinch. But I don't know if my daughter just now listened to what she said. She let out a sigh of relief, thinking that she would have to watch her daughter in the future and let her do less work.
She covered Lin Baoru with a quilt, and listened to her daughter's long breathing in the dark, looking a little dazed. It's probably because there is obviously less work in the past two days, and she has more time to spare, so she can't help but think about her daughter's relatives.
As long as she thought that her daughter's life of guarding her for too long couldn't be too long, she felt sad for a while.
However, she knew in her heart that her daughter was very strong after she was sick, and she couldn't see herself crying, so she didn't dare to wipe her tears at every turn.
Besides, things have come to this point, there is no room for reversal, if you are still uncomfortable in front of your daughter, you can only make your children worry together.
She carefully touched Lin Baoru's bitter wood-like hair, and was happy for her daughter's strength for a while, and sighed for a while because she remembered Liu Shulai's temperament.
On the second day, when Lin Baoru woke up, she obviously felt that her arm was no longer sore. She rubbed her arms with some surprise, remembering that she didn't know when she fell asleep last night, and she didn't know how long the mother who rubbed her arms was busy.
"Big sister......" Cai Ru and Cai He sat up with their eyes rubbed and stared, probably feeling the cold air outside the bed, and the two of them shivered in unison.
"Hurry up and put on your clothes, it seems that something has changed today." Lin Baoru put on her coat and hurriedly busted the smaller lotus, putting on the jacket that had long been unable to see its original appearance. She touched the thin jacket under her hand, frowned and said, "Fortunately, those few pieces of fabric that were torn to make clothes were not washed, otherwise I am afraid that I would not be able to dry after washing this day." ”
She buttoned Caihe, and briefly combed two braids for her, and then said, "I'll discuss with my mother about making cotton clothes in a while." ”
As for the quilt, I'm afraid I can't make it today. But if the weather changes today, and there is no thick quilt at night, they will have a hard time, and she has to think of a way......
The sky outside was a little gloomy, and from time to time a cold wind blew, which made a few people who had just left the house couldn't help but shrink their necks. Before Lin Baoru could say anything, he heard a rhythmic clanging sound.
She looked up suspiciously, and saw her eldest brother squatting in front of the door, smashing the pig pancreas on the stone slab, which gave her a headache. Look at the appearance, it should have been smashed for a while, and several hangings were kneaded together and smashed into a very fine pulp.
Wang, who was busy working in front of the stove, saw a few girls getting up, and hurriedly greeted a few people with a smile and said, "Wash your hands and prepare for dinner, today my mother has steamed a pot of bud rice cakes." After speaking, she looked at Lin Baoru again and said, "I got up early this morning and said that you smashed the pig's pancreas yesterday and tired your arm, and your eldest brother quietly moved the stone slab there to do it. ”
In fact, needless to say, Lin Baoru has passed.
"Mother said that you kept smashing it yesterday, so I didn't dare to stop." Lin Mancang held back for a long time before he put down the mallet and rubbed his hands, frowned a little restrainedly, and said in a rough voice, "If it doesn't work, I'll smash it again." ”
Looking at the distressed and tired big brother in front of her, Lin Baoru felt warm in her heart, she sniffed and stopped her somewhat sour eyes and smiled: "Big brother has great strength, and he smashes much finer than me, this is the finer the smash, the better." ”
When Lin Mancang heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and grinned with his sister-in-law. He hadn't laughed in years, but at first glance, he was grinning more ugly than crying. was originally honest, but there was a sense of disobedience.
However, this did not prevent the Wang family and Cairu from widening their eyes as if they had discovered the New World, especially the Wang family, who directly covered their mouths in surprise.
Her son...... Her son is really getting better......
Wang's heart was overjoyed, and he couldn't help whispering with tears in his eyes: "His father, have you seen it, our family is not stupid!" ”
Not just talking about this, she looked at her own house. When Baoru was in power, she felt that what she said yesterday was not bad, and her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were really deceived.
Obviously own home. Baoru is a lucky star.
After she recovered from her illness, the family lived happily and comfortably.
Although they still don't have enough money, they can at least have a full meal.
And the son, who has always had a clear and unbright head, is becoming more and more able to support things, not only will he take the initiative to protect the children in the family, but he also feels sorry for the girls.
Thinking of this, Wang's heart became happier and happier. She took advantage of the fact that no one was watching, and quickly wiped the tears that fell from her eyes, and then choked up and went to serve the meal, which also saved the children from seeing and laughing at her.
Today, Wang's steamed bud rice cakes, although there is no white flour, but there are no wild vegetable roots and Guanyin soil, so it is sweet for them. In addition, her original skill in steaming dry food is good, otherwise she can't just rely on the hard-to-swallow cakes like steamed Guanyin soil and wild vegetable roots. Several bites, large and small, ate for several years.
And now all the cakes with thin bud rice noodles are put in, but they are big. Big satisfied the appetite of several children.
Although the bud rice cake is not as delicious as yesterday's dim sum, it is better to be able to chew it in a big mouthful, so it is still extremely enjoyable to eat.
"Mother...... Can I still eat half of it? Cai Ru finished eating a cake, bit her lower lip, and looked at Wang hesitantly.
Wang listened. This was uncomfortable, but she quickly nodded and said, "If you don't have enough, eat more, although we are not rich now, we can still eat enough to survive the winter." At the beginning of spring, the wild vegetables and medicinal herbs outside can be dug up for money, and they can be connected to the ......."
In previous years, they also came over like this, but at that time, whenever she changed some copper plates, she would save them as a gift silver for her mother-in-law. Occasionally, if you get a few pennies more, most of them will be looted by your mother-in-law.
Thinking of this, Wang couldn't tell whether he was remorseful or entangled, in short, it was very complicated.
