Chapter 9: Two bales

Lin Jinchan and Lin Yinshuang waited until the twilight was around and the smoke of every household in the village was rising, and then they returned home slowly.

In the summer, the weather was hot and sultry, and Lin Zhou called Lin Dakui to move the square wooden table to the courtyard, blowing the wind through the hall to eat coolly.

The Lin family has many sons, and there are many fields cultivated in the village, so they didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, but this year's drought has brought another locust plague in the west, and now the scattered locusts have just flown to Kuzhu Village, and most of the crops and vegetable leaves in the field have been ruined, and the Lin family has also lost a lot of harvest, so they can only eat the surplus grain of previous years.

As soon as Jin Chan and Yinshuang came in, they saw their father Lin Dakui and Erbolin Ersheng sitting on the left and right sides of the square table, and the second aunt Liu Hongyan sat next to her son Lin Abao, leaving only the last seat for Lin Zhou.

And their mother, Wei Fang, and the third uncle, Du Bingyan, also cook on the fire in the firewood house.

"Hush." Jin Cicada couldn't help but muttered behind his back, "Isn't it just that I gave birth to a person with a handle, what's there to be proud of!" ”

Among the children of the Lin family, except for the head of the family, Lin Zhou, and her favorite granddaughter Lin Xiaofei, only the second aunt Liu Hongyan can eat at the table, just because she is the only daughter-in-law of the Lin family who gave birth to a son.

As soon as he stepped into the door, his disdainful look immediately disappeared without a trace, and his face was instantly replaced with a sweet smile, Lin Jincian smiled at Liu Hongyan with a soft voice: "Second uncle, I picked a lot of sour plums in the mountains today, Ah Bao loves to drink plum juice, I will wash the plums with salt tonight and dry them, and I will make them for him in the morning." ”

"Ouch, our golden cicada has always been so thoughtful." Liu Hongyan covered her mouth and smiled happily, just as Wei Fang came out with a roasted radish, Liu Hongyan blinked her eyes and praised Wei Fang, "You are still blessed to give birth to this pair of good daughters, unlike me, my life is very hard, I will give birth to a rabbit cub in my life, for him to eat and drink, without the slightest filial piety of gold cicadas and silver frost." ”

In this Lin family, everyone knows that not being able to give birth to a son is Wei Fang's sore spot.

Wei Fang barely squeezed out a smile, didn't speak, and happened to collide with Du Bingyan who was delivering food when he hurriedly turned around.

Du Bingyan's hand was unsteady, the plate fell to the ground, there was a loud noise, and the tofu mixed with shallots shattered to the ground.

Lin Zhou had just sent a bowl of steamed eggs to Li Xiucai, and as soon as he heard the sound outside, the bowl pushed into Xiucai's hand, and he hurriedly ran out. If you don't have a good stomach, you can't give birth to a bird's egg, and you will lose money to me! ”

After speaking, the person had already stood in the courtyard, his triangular eyes swept out, and just when he wanted to scold again, he suddenly saw that Jin Cicada and Yin Shuang had returned, and then looked back, but Lin Xiaofei was not seen.

Lin Zhou's eyebrows twisted, pointed at Yinshuang and asked, "What about your eldest sister?" ”

"I ...... I ......" Silver Frost stammered nervously.

"The eldest sister is not with us." Jin Chan hurriedly answered, "As soon as we went up the mountain in the morning, the eldest sister said that it was too hot and the mountain road was difficult to walk, so she turned around and came back first." ”

"Coming back?" Lin Zhoushi looked at the darkening sky outside, a palpitation for no reason, his hands tightened, picked up the broom standing by the door and beckoned to the golden cicada, "You two have no conscience, don't take care of it, just let her go back alone?" ”

Lin Zhou's gravity fell, and with a broom, he knocked the golden cicada to the ground, his teeth hit the stone, and his mouth was full of blood, and Yinshuang was scared stupid on the spot, like a chicken, he didn't dare to move.

"Mother!" Wei Fang was also anxious, she had always valued her eldest daughter, and she was still looking forward to her letting her raise her eyebrows in this Lin family, how could she let this old woman be beaten to death? "The foot of Shiping Mountain is only two miles away from the entrance of the village......

The words fell, and Lin Zhou's fight harder, so painful that the golden cicada's tears flowed all over his face, and the dust on the ground, like a mud monkey.

Li Xiucai, who was in the inner room, heard the movement and also walked out, holding on to the door frame and looking out.

Jin Cicada was in pain and embarrassment, she couldn't help it, she lay on the ground and rushed forward, hurriedly stood up, her small body stood motionless in front of Li Xiucai, and shouted at Lin Zhou's family: "Stop!" I'm already a Vigo guy, you, you can't beat me! ”
