Chapter 7: The White Lotus
"Peach, it's okay at home today, if you're hungry or not, my sister will cook immediately."
Lin Mei rolled up her sleeves while saying to Peaches, lit a fire and boiled water, ready to scald chicken feathers.
"I'm not hungry, at noon, I heated up the vegetables left in the pot and the nest, and I didn't finish it with my father." Afraid that her sister wouldn't believe it, Momoko also brought out the leftovers in the cupboard.
"However, before lunch, a beautiful sister came and asked Sicheng's brother if he was at my house, I said no, she still didn't believe it, she had to come in to have a look, and saw that there was really no one, so she left." Peach continued, and after speaking, she looked at Luo Sicheng, who was resting in the courtyard.
"Yo, then I have to tell Sicheng, it shouldn't be something at home."
Lin Mei walked out of the kitchen, stood at the door and said to Luo Sicheng: "Sicheng, Peaches said that your family came to look for you today, is there anything urgent, do you want to go back and see." ”
"Is it from my family?" Luo Sicheng was a little worried, after all, grandma was old.
"I'll have to ask Momoko, Peach, you come out."
Momoko was already in the kitchen, and she could hear their conversation clearly.
"It's not like a subordinate, it's a beautiful sister I've never seen, wearing yellow clothes, and walking like this." After saying that, Peaches learned to twist her waist and walk in small steps.
"Oh, I know who it is, it's okay, if there's something at home, grandma will call someone to come to me." Knowing who it was, Luo Sicheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Cousin, where did you go, it makes it easy for me to find ......"
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.
Because there were people at home, the gate of the courtyard was not locked, so Liu Yue'e pushed the door open and came in by herself.
Lin Mei looked at the uninvited woman in front of her suspiciously, with a baby fat goose egg face, single phoenix eyes, a hair comb hanging in a bun, a plump body, wearing a plum blossom silver hairpin, a light blue jacket, a yellow long skirt, and a pink silk scarf.
"Cousin, you have something to do with me......" Without waiting for Liu Yue'e to reply, Luo Sicheng introduced to Sister Lin Mei that this was Liu Yue'e, the daughter of her aunt Guo Qingxia, who was one year older than him.
"Yesterday, my grandmother asked you to show me around and get acquainted with the environment in the village. You're here, but you didn't see anyone early this morning, so I was looking for you everywhere. After Liu Yue'e finished speaking, she also looked at the Lin family sisters.
This Lin family sister, the little one is too small, the hair hasn't grown, the cousin shouldn't like it, but it's hard to say when she grows up, it's just that this big sister is okay, even this dress is too strange, who would wear such a short skirt, is it the reason why she is too poor, but it doesn't look like a family background...... No matter what, as long as it's a woman, no, as long as it's a mother, you must not take it lightly, Liu Yue'e has already regarded the Lin family sisters as imaginary love rivals.
Liu Yue'e decided not to let her cousin have too much contact with the Lin family sisters, so she preemptively said: "Cousin, come home with me, my grandmother is waiting at home." ”
After finishing speaking, he went to pull people, Luo Sicheng turned around to avoid it, who wanted Liu Yue'e to say "oops", fell to the ground, and said to him pitifully: "Cousin, my foot is twisted, it hurts, come and help me go home." ”
Luo Sicheng was a little embarrassed, helplessly helped Liu Yue'e up, and said goodbye with a wry smile to the Lin sisters.
Liu Yue, with Luo Sicheng's support, looked back at Lin Mei and hooked the corners of her mouth when she was about to walk to the door.
Although it was only for a moment, it was captured by Lin Mei.
This is the legendary White Lotus? was also regarded as a rival in love, Lin Mei was a little ridiculous......
What is this, the girl in early love is so scary......
Lin Mei decided to take a detour when she met this Liu Yue'e in the future.
When Lin Mei was cooking, Shanzi and Ah Da returned home, and Ah Da heard that the young master had gone home, no matter how the two sisters and brothers kept eating, they still said goodbye and left.
"Daddy, it's time to eat." Lin Mei still put the dishes and chopsticks on the small table next to the kang.
During this time, I don't know if it was because of the rich food at home, or because of the openness to Meizi's marriage, in short, Father Lin was recuperating very well, his face was ruddy, and he could get up and get off the ground, but it was not convenient to walk on his right leg.
According to Lin Mei's request, Shanzi made a simple crutch for Father Lin and put it next to the bed.
"Let's eat together, during this time, eating together, I always feel tasteless...... "Daddy Lin got up and leaned on crutches and said gently to Lin Mei.
"Okay, then I'll help you out......" After speaking, Lin Mei shouted to the hall again: "Shanzi, move a chair for Dad." ”
Lin Mei's family usually eats in the hall, and the eight immortals have already set up dishes and chopsticks on the table, as well as a big bowl of chicken with soup, cold salad and dried radish, as well as the leftover vegetables from noon, corn nest, and Xiao Tao is already sitting on the bench.
The bench will not be comfortable for Daddy Lin to sit on, so Lin Mei asked Shanzi to bring the chair.
"Dad, be careful, you slowly sit down...... "After Lin Mei helped her father sit down, she went into the east wing to serve Daddy Lin's food.
"How about going up the mountain today?" Father Lin asked Shanzi kindly, Father Lin is quite satisfied with his son's archery skills, although it needs to be improved, but at this age it is much stronger than his father.
"Two rabbits, three pheasants, two rabbits, two pheasants, and a roe deer were found in the trap. The rabbit and the chicken are dead, and only the roe deer still has a breath, so I will send the roe deer to Baiwei Building first, and then sort out the rest after eating. Shanzi reported today's situation to Father Lin in detail.
"By the way, this is the money for selling roe deer today." Shanzi took out his purse from his bosom and put it on the table.
"Okay, give it to your sister, and in the future, your sister will be the housekeeper, and the money won't have to be handed over to me." Father Lin was very satisfied with such a good receipt without him today, smiled and said with a chicken leg for Shanzi, looked at his little daughter, and sandwiched a chicken leg for Peaches.
Lin Mei thought about it, but decided to say what she thought before: "Dad, I want to send Shanzi to study in a private school." ”
"What......" Father Lin thought he was hallucinating and asked in surprise.
Lin Mei repeated again.
This time, Father Lin reacted and was puzzled: "How did you think of sending Shanzi to study." ”
Shanzi also said that he didn't understand and looked at his sister, and Peaches didn't care and continued to nibble on the chicken legs.
"First, Shanzi is still young, and he is not expected to take the top prize, but he must be literate and understand the law; Second, studying can make more friends, which will help Shanzi in the future; Third, if Shanzi had studied, it would have been much easier to get married; Fourth, if Shanzi can write and calculate, he may not necessarily have to rely on hunting to make a living in the future; Fifth, if you can be admitted to Xiucai, our family is also exempt from taxes...... Moreover, Peaches has a talented brother, and her in-laws can also take a look at it. Lin Mei concluded.
Father Lin was silent, weighing Lin Mei's words.
Shanzi didn't understand much before, but he understood the last sentence, if he can be admitted to Xiucai, whether it is his sister or sister in the future, he can give them a long face and support. Shanzi remembered her sister's marriage and thought that her sister wanted to send him to study because she was stimulated by the marriage.
So, Shanzi said: "Dad, I listen to my sister, send me to study, I must study hard, work hard to be admitted to Xiucai, and support my sister and sister." ”
When Lin Mei heard this, she knew that this cheap brother had misunderstood, but she didn't explain, she really bought cabbage when she was taking the exam.
Lin Mei is also selfish, when Lin Mei chatted with Luo Sicheng before, she deliberately asked Luo Sicheng how to write the names of the three sisters and brothers of the Lin family, and when Luo Sicheng finished writing, she found that this dynasty learned traditional Chinese characters, and Lin Mei basically knew it. In case that day, it would be hard to explain it to let her family know that she could read.
The best way is to let Shanzi go to school, and then teach her to read, even if everyone knows that she can read in the future, it should only be taught by Shanzi. Kill two birds with one stone......
