Chapter Twenty-Eight: Hail Falls from the Sky

"Get out of here! Get away from the ring! Zeng pointed at Lin Tong and said angrily, "Appear in front of Huan'er again in the future, and watch me break your legs!" ”

Lin Tong wanted to say something more, but was pushed by Liu Gong and Liu Jian to leave the crowd, he turned his face and wanted to find an acquaintance to say a few words for him, but he saw that those people invariably took a step back and stayed away from him.

What happened? He scratched his head, always feeling that something was wrong.

At this time, Li Zheng made another gesture to the villagers, "I know that everyone has always had doubts about Grandma Great's money, Grandma Great-Grandma is indeed doing business in partnership with my family, and the recipe is researched by me and Huan'er. ”

"Of course, this business is not a shady business." As he spoke, Li Zheng lifted the lid of one of the large vats.

"Ome? Sour green plums that no one eats? "There were whispers in the crowd.

Li Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, it's Qingmei." We let people look at the cylinder and don't let everyone open the cylinder, not to beware of the villagers, but to be afraid that there will be too many people, and you will fall dirty things into the tank back and forth. What we do is to eat, and this food, Lord Shi, the martial horseman who came to repair the Guanyin Pavilion in the provincial capital, is our old customer. ”

"What kind of officer is the Captain Wu Cai?" Someone in the crowd immediately asked.

"I don't know, we can't afford to come from the provincial capital."

"Then you can't sell bad things to others, if the things are broken, the official will come to the door."

"Ouch, Mrs. Zeng's luck is really good, how can this be stammered."

Someone immediately apologized to Zeng's, "Aunt Zeng, you see that we have no malicious intentions, we are just curious about what your family is doing." Don't bother with us. ”

"Yes, yes, you are making an offering to adults, you can't make a mistake, we didn't touch your food."

Zeng Shi waved his hand again and again, "What the villagers said, alas, I didn't want to hide it from the villagers, this is not a panic." Lord Shi bought the food for my family, not my family......"

Came to Shangliang to see the lively dispersal, the work at home has not been finished, Zeng Ying promised to send the villagers away one by one, and was busy leading Lin Huan'er into the old house, letting her sit and rest, and was about to fetch water to clean Lin Huan'er's wounds, Zeng turned around and bumped into Lin Hua'er who was standing aside.

"Grandma." Lin Hua'er shouted timidly.

"Hey, good boy," Zeng agreed, touching Lin Hua'er's head, turning around and looking for the water scoop again.

Lin Hua'er stood for a while, went out and sat down in the vat.

"Grandma," Lin Huan'er noticed the lonely expression on Lin Hua'er's face, and couldn't bear to help her, "Sister Hua'er said that the uncle is giving her a match, and she is afraid of being sold by the uncle." ”

"I know," Zeng sighed, "this kid told me." I said, I can't control Lin Tong's bastard now, if she wants, I'll ask Li Zheng to divide her family, this is the only thing I can do. ”

"What did Sister Hua'er say?"

"She doesn't want to share."

Lin Huan'er was surprised, "What's so good about living in my uncle's house, I can't eat enough and don't have warm clothes, and I still have to do so much work every day." ”

Zeng shook his head, "This kid always thinks too much, he can't bear this, and he can't let go of that." If you really want to split the family, the second room family has no house to live in, and the work of working to earn money will definitely fall on her and her mother, although she can't eat enough now, but she can't starve to death, and she is a little loose, I'm afraid that the whole family will starve to death. ”

"The girl thinks I can help her, alas, you and I will be hungry. I told her that I had already broken it up, and that she would not squeak if she didn't interfere with the rest. This girl, I don't know if I can complain about me in my heart. ”

Lin Huan'er was silent. She didn't know what to say about Lin Hua'er, if it was her, as long as she could separate it, even if she starved to death, she would agree.

Maybe Lin Huaer was suppressed by the uncle's family and had no confidence in herself?

Zeng and Lin Huan'er didn't intervene in this matter after all, and when the building of the house was nearing the end, the second aunt also came back, and the second family didn't come over again.

On the tenth day of the fifth month, the house was finally built as Lin Huan'er expected. Although there is no furniture inside, in the face of this neat and bright big house, Lin Huan'er likes to touch here and there, and can't wait to stick it up and kiss the two of them again.

Give the money for completion, the grandparents' money bags are tight again, so they are not in a hurry to buy things, the two people let the help move the cylinder, and the rest are useless to others, rice bags, noodle bags, single clothes and quilts, lame old tables, grandparents and grandchildren move things to the new home little by little as if they were moving.

After moving the last trip, Lin Huan'er just went to the new yard to take a breath, and "pop", something fell in front of him.

"What." Lin Huan'er squatted down and picked up something that fell from the sky, round and a little irregular in shape, like an ice hockey puck?

Lin Huan'er picked up the ice hockey, and her little fist was just enough to hold it firmly in her hand.

"Smack." "Ouch!" Lin Huan'er suddenly let out a breath, and another ice hockey ball fell and smashed into her back.

"Pap, papa" ice hockey balls are getting denser and denser, the small peanuts are bigger, the big ones are bigger than her fists, crackling and starting to fall, Lin Huan'er looked up at the sky, and finally covered her head and ran into the house, "Grandma!" It's hailing! ”

"Oh no, my little seedling!" As soon as she ran into the house, Lin Huan'er thought of the watermelon seedlings and lemon seedlings that were placed outside to bask in the sun, but she was too busy today to transplant them.

She ran into the yard with her neck bent, and ran home with a bamboo basket for planting seedlings.

Over there, Zeng rushed out, "What?!" Why did it hail? ”

She took out a cloak from the back room and draped it over her body, "I have to go to the field and see!" ”

"Don't go, grandma!" Lin Huan'er hugged Zeng, who wanted to rush out, "Dangerous, you can't run around when you hail!" ”

"I'll just check it out." Zeng was in a hurry to earn out.

Lin Huan'er was so anxious that she was about to cry, "Grandma, you can't do anything if you go, and you can't pull out the rice." The hail hurt a lot on my body, and you see, when I went out for a while, my arms were bruised. ”

"That's, that's a year's worth of food for the two of us!" Zeng covered his face helplessly.

At the same time, the Liu family, Liu Gong and Liu Jian also rushed out, and were pulled back by the Bai family, "Don't want it, don't want the food in the field, our family is not the life of farming." ”

"But the grain ......," Liu Jian cried with a sad face.

Bai Shi put his fingers full of needle eyes back into his sleeve, "It's a big deal, I'll embroider more purses." ”

Li family, Li Yuan took Li Zheng to open the courtyard door, and silently watched the hail fall and gradually pile up on the ground.

After a while, he took two sets of coats and hats, threw one for Li Zheng, and put them on himself, "As soon as the hail stops, let's go into the city, buy an ox cart first, then buy grain, and all the rest of the money will be used to buy grain." ”
