Chapter 12: Awakening

Lin Jing sneered: "My glutinous rice noodles are less, but they are enough for my parents to eat, as for the rest of you, what does it matter to me?" I am a married daughter, and it is appropriate to honor my parents during the New Year's holidays, but is it possible to honor my brothers and nephews? ”

"You didn't just give such a little in previous years!"

"Yes, so I'm stupid, didn't I give seven or eight people during the New Year's holiday? As a result, they were all fed to the white-eyed wolves! When my lotus flowers were waiting for money to save their lives, why didn't you think about the things I gave in previous years? ”

Lin Jing's words, but anyone who is a little shameless will be embarrassed to hear it. But what kind of people are the three mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Lin family, they really have to be honest, and they will not be bullied like "orphans and widows" like this over the years.

So Su Guizhi didn't feel ashamed at all, but pointed at Lin Jing's face angrily: "You don't want to think about it, over the years, you have been a woman with a child, if you didn't have your mother's brother to support you, you wouldn't have been eaten by the people of Xujiawan?" Shouldn't it be to eat you and use your order? ”

When it comes to her own interests, Huang Yan naturally supports Su Guizhi, she said: "The third sister-in-law is right, the fifth sister, what you said is too hurtful." Yes, Lotus Flower was injured, and we didn't borrow money, but isn't this that we have no money at hand, and whose life is not tight now? But if there is something going on at home, aren't we also actively helping? ”

"Tell me, what have you helped me with?"

Huang Yan snorted, but she couldn't think of anything she had helped for a while.

Speaking of which, Lin Jing needs help every year at the time of planting rice and harvesting grain.

The mother and daughter have a total of two acres of paddy fields, and she can plant half an acre of paddy fields and two acres of paddy fields a day, and it will be completed in four days.

It's a little troublesome when harvesting grain, no matter how capable she is, her strength is not as good as that of a man, and it is not easy to thresh, but sometimes when she has to grab the sky, the time is tight, and she can't be allowed to take her time.

But every year when the farm is busy, except for the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law who will go down the mountain to help, none of the parents and two brothers come to help, and every time it is an excuse that they are also busy.

That's it, they are all in the same village, the fields are all next to each other, and the time for planting rice and harvesting grain is about the same.

However, they were not willing to do such a trivial thing as thatching!

Lin Jing's mother and daughter are now living in Xujiawan, Xiao Shihe was an educated youth in Xujiawan back then, and his household registration was not in Xujiawan, so he did not have a homestead to build a house.

When he married Lin Jing, he could have asked for a homestead in Linjiawan in the name of Lin Jing.

But at that time, the Lin family wanted Lin Jing to marry Su Guizhi's brother, Lin Jing and the family had a lot of trouble, and under the obstruction of their parents and brother and sister-in-law, the homestead did not succeed.

Later, Xu Jiawan borrowed this house that was out of order and repossessed by the village for them to live in, and gave the village fifty catties of millet every year as rent.

The house has been around for a long time, and the roof is not covered with tiles, but with thatch, which needs to be overhauled every year and covered with some thatch, otherwise it will rain heavily outside the house and light rain inside the house.

When Xiao Shihe didn't leave, he did all this, and later when Xiao Shihe left, Lin Jing also asked her brother for help, but she was all pushed back, and it was Lin Fang's husband who helped to repair the roof every year.

Lin Jing used to think about family affection, although she had a clear heart, she didn't care about them, but now that she has figured it out, she doesn't want to associate with two brothers who are ruthless and unrighteous to her.

A sentence was sent back to Huang Yan, and Lin Jing said lightly: "Mom, this piece of bacon is worthy of the glutinous rice flour and sesame filling, right?" ”

No matter how expensive glutinous rice and sesame are, they are not as affordable as meat, but Mu Chunhua is still satisfied.

She said: "Forget it, the glutinous rice balls, just eat a meaning, this year's glutinous rice noodles are less, the glutinous rice balls are smaller, one person tastes one or two, there is such a meaning, forget it." ”

Su Guizhi and Huang Yan were not satisfied, the bacon was good, but when it entered the hands of their mother, they didn't want to get it out, it was estimated that the two grandsons could eat it, and their two daughters-in-law were thinking about it.

It's just that the mother-in-law has spoken, and they can't be entangled anymore.

Su Guizhi snorted angrily and said: "Forget about this year, next year, the fifth sister should prepare more, what about a large family, what can you do with such a little?" ”

Lin Jing glanced at her lightly: "Didn't the third sister-in-law think that what I said before was a fart?" From now on, during the New Year's holidays, I will only prepare to give filial piety to my parents, and I will give what other married girls in the village want. ”

In these years, when the daughter who gets married goes back to her parents' house, it is usually a bag of sugar and a bottle of wine, where can she prepare carefully every time like Lin Jing?

Qingming sends Qingming ba, Dragon Boat Festival sends zongzi, Mid-Autumn Festival sends glutinous rice cakes, Chongyang sends rice wine, and the second day of the Lunar New Year sends rice balls.

Not to mention the price between the two, at least more attentive than others.

In the past few years, the Lin family didn't have to prepare these solar terms by themselves, and the ones Lin Jing sent over were enough for their whole family to eat.

Mu Chunhua thought about it in her heart, and felt that if she didn't lose it, it didn't matter.

Su Guizhi and Huang Yan glanced at each other, and they both saw the dissatisfaction in each other's eyes. This is not a loss for the parents-in-law, but for them, it is a big loss!

However, at this time, Mu Chunhua had already gone back with glutinous rice flour, sesame stuffing and bacon, and the two had no reason to continue targeting Lin Jing, so they had to return home unwillingly.

When the rice balls were ready, when Lin Changjun was called back, he saw the four small rice balls in the bowl, and was a little confused: "Who made the rice balls this year, why is it so small?" I can eat it in one bite, and the two are not as big as the one in previous years. ”

"If you want to blame it, it's your fifth sister, who gave so much powder in total." Su Guizhi said in a weird way.

"Okay, I can't stop you if I eat!" Mu Chunhua glanced at her and said to her youngest son: "There is only such a little glutinous rice flour left in the old five families, the big guy eats a meaning, if you are not full, you will have some noodles later." ”

Lin Changjun still wanted to ask, but was stepped on by his daughter-in-law and shut his mouth.

After eating and returning to the room, Lin Changjun listened to Huang Yan tell him what happened today, and frowned: "I said that you shouldn't go today, the fifth sister is dough again, how long has the lotus flower incident happened, can she forget?" You go along, don't you touch the nail? ”

"How did I know that the fifth sister didn't even care about her mother's face this time?"

"You're wrong, if the fifth sister didn't care about her mother's face, she wouldn't have put on a piece of bacon. In fact, she spends more money on sugar and wine than making dumplings, zongzi, and glutinous rice dumplings. After all, glutinous rice is home-grown, and it doesn't cost money. Otherwise, how do you think Mom would agree? Sugar and wine are these things that are precious. The fifth sister wants to cut off contact with us this time! ”

"What then?"

Huang Yan was unwilling, although the fifth sister's family was poor, she could still think of pulling out a lot of things from her hands in previous years, not to mention, no matter what happened at home, as long as she shouted, the fifth sister did not come to help, if this really broke off the relationship, then there would be nothing!

Lin Changman said indifferently: "Don't worry, the fifth sister is soft-hearted, now she is angry, after a while, her anger will slowly subside, you take Huzi to her to walk around more, slowly, she will naturally forget." ”

Huang Yan pursed her lips and smiled: "You still have a way, if you want me to say, you are the smartest person in our family." ”

Lin Changjun said with a smile: "That's it, you listen to me, pretend to be good in front of your parents, let Huzi kiss our parents hotly, and after my parents die, you see, the things in their hands must be our majority!" ”

"Hey, I'll listen to you."
