Zhao Yanan and Lin Aimin listened to Lin Changping say: I left them food, and I was very pleased.

After eating, the husband and wife felt better, and at this time, Lin Changping was leading Lin Yin to play in the yard.

Lin Aimin and Zhao Yanan glanced at each other and quietly entered the house;

Lin Aimin said to Zhao Yanan: "the child, you go to the village tonight to change some eggs, and I will go to the county seat tomorrow and sell them, but..."

Lin Aimin advised, "Leave a few to replenish your body, don't sell them all." ”

Zhao Yanan laughed angrily, "Don't worry, I can still lose our daughter," and then Zhao Yanan was a little worried: "Child, Dad, we just changed so many eggs yesterday, and if we go to change them today, will others think about it?" ”

Lin Aimin was also afraid that something would happen, so after thinking about it, he said: "Then you say: A relative has given birth to a child, and the eggs have been given away, and there is not enough to eat, so I plan to change some more." ”

Zhao Yanan nodded, and said: "Everyone in the village knows that we are out of the house, and now we are poor, we buy so many eggs for two days in a row, it is reasonable, but it will ...... in the future."

Lin Aimin was also a little worried when he heard this, Zhao Yanan thought for a while and said, "Or next time, let's go to my mother's house to change eggs." ”

Lin Aimin nodded, "That's the only way to do it." ”

Lin Yin spent three yuan eight on catching medicine today, and the remaining five yuan three, Zhao Yanan took it to change the eggs, a total of 106 eggs.

Zhao Yanan planned to keep six for Lin Yin to eat, and sell the remaining hundred.

After Lin Yin learned to read, he planned to teach his three elder brothers to also read and write, and when school started, let all three elder brothers go to school.

Although the eldest brother and second brother are old, as long as they are willing to work hard, it is a big deal to skip a grade.

In addition, in this era, many rural children enter school late.

When Zhao Yanan came back, he saw Lin Yin's three elder brothers reciting the ninety-nine multiplication table;

"One by one, one by two..."

The three elder brothers followed along, and no one was annoyed.

Seeing Zhao Yanan come back, he was holding a bamboo basket in his arms, covered with a clean towel, bulging, and he couldn't see what was inside.

Lin Changqing was curious, and when he opened his mouth, he asked, "Mom, what's in the basket?" ”

Zhao Yanan didn't want to say it, but when he thought about it, if the family bought so many eggs in the future, he would definitely not be able to hide from his three sons, so he looked at Lin Aimin.

Lin Aimin glanced at his three sons, and said in a serious tone: "There are eggs in the basket, and our family will buy a lot of eggs with others in the future. ”

Lin Changping and Lin Changan were older, and they seemed to sense something, so they nodded hurriedly, indicating that they understood.

Lin Chang was a little younger, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why, Dad?" ”

Lin Aimin's eyes widened, "Children are not allowed to inquire." ”

Lin Changqing pouted, "I know." ”

This matter is too dangerous, Zhao Yanan was afraid that the three children would say it inadvertently, and warned him seriously, the three brothers saw that their parents were so solemn, and nodded busily and said: Remember.

The husband and wife took leave again and went to the county seat.

Lin Yin recuperated at home and studied when he was idle and bored.

Lin Changping and Lin Changan went to work in the field, and Lin Changqing went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables.

On the way to the county seat, Zhao Yanan said worriedly: "The child's father, if we often go to the county seat to sell eggs in the future, it is not good to ask for leave for three days and two ends..."

Lin Aimin nodded, "Yes, after all, we are farmers, and we have just split up, we should have worked hard in the field to earn work, but we asked for leave for three days and two ends, everyone is not stupid, I am afraid that we will be suspicious." ”

Zhao Yanan sighed, "Why don't we go to the county seat once a week, and say: see a doctor." ”

Lin Aimin nodded, "Although it is important to make money, it can't happen, so let's do it." ”

In the afternoon, the two couples came back, and the eggs were all sold, and they were still sold for a dime, and there were many people who bought them, selling a total of 13 yuan and earning 8 yuan.

When he came back, Zhao Yanan went to his mother's house by the way, and asked the old lady to help collect a hundred eggs and keep them for sale next week.

Zhao Yanan said happily: "If you go once a week in the future, you can earn more than 30 yuan a month, which is no worse than a worker." ”

The family has an extra income of more than 30 yuan a month, and the husband and wife are very happy.

As for taking more eggs to sell, the husband and wife are timid and don't dare, the eggs are sold too much, attracting people's eyes, and the husband and wife are determined to take a hundred eggs every time they go in the future, and earn thirty yuan a month, which is a lot.

The husband and wife secretly went to the county seat to sell eggs four times, and the first two times they used Lin Yin as an excuse to see a doctor.

Seeing that the injury on Lin Yin's head was about to heal, the husband and wife could only make another excuse, saying that they were going to Lin Yin's grandmother's house to visit relatives.

It was the height of summer, the last day of July;

In the evening, Zhao Yanan was cooking in the kitchen, and Lin Aimin had not come back yet.

Lin Changping suddenly pulled Lin Yin into the house, and looked at Lin Yin seriously with a pair of eyes, "Nannan, tell your eldest brother, do your parents go to the county seat every week to sell eggs?" ”

Lin Yin looked at the young man in front of him with a serious face, it was not strange at all, Lin Changping would know about it.

As long as the three Lin Changping brothers are not fools, they will know sooner or later.

Lin Yin didn't answer directly, but also stared at Lin Changping's eyes with a serious face, "Will the eldest brother go to denounce?" ”

Lin Changping was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and gently rubbed Lin Yin's little head, and said with a smile: "How come?" We are a family, my parents will sell eggs, but also for a few of us, I am forced to be helpless, I am not a white-eyed wolf, how can I denounce it? ”

Lin Yin kept staring at Lin Changping's eyes, judging that Lin Changping was not lying, anyway, the matter couldn't be hidden, Lin Yin simply nodded, "Not bad,"

Then, Lin Yin sighed, in Lin Changping's eyes, Lin Yin at this time was like a little adult, "Big brother, it's all my fault, we are already out of the house, I am still sick, I have to see a doctor and take medicine, our parents really have no choice, so they will do that." ”

In this era, selling things is not a glorious thing, and it should be looked down upon.

Lin Changping nodded, "I know, I just want to confirm it." ”

Lin Changping got an accurate answer and went out, and Lin Yin didn't know what he wanted to do.

It wasn't until he went to bed at night that Lin Changping said to Zhao Yanan and Lin Aimin: "Mom, Dad, I have something to tell you." ”

Zhao Yanan had just washed his hair and was wiping his hair with a towel, and asked casually, "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Aimin sat on the sidelines and listened to Lin Yin teach Lin Changan and Lin Changqing to recite the text.

Seeing that Lin Changping had something to say, Lin Yin immediately shut up, wondering what the eldest brother said.

There was silence in the room for a moment.

"Mom and Dad, I know you go to the county every week to sell eggs."

These words were like a thunderclap, so frightened that Zhao Yanan's hand shook, and the towel fell directly to the ground, Lin Aimin stood up and looked at Lin Changping with a frown, "Where did you hear the nonsense?" ”

Zhao Yanan was nervous in sign language, and hurriedly asked, "Boss, how can you hear this?" ”

Lin Changping saw that his parents were frightened, and hurriedly explained, "Parents, no one said: we guessed it." ”

"Mom will come back one day a week from outside to change a lot of eggs, and the next day you go out with the eggs before dawn, and when you come back in the afternoon, the eggs are gone."

Zhao Yanan pulled out a smile, "The eggs are all for your grandma, your grandma is old, you have to make up for it." ”

Lin Changping didn't believe it at all, "Mom, grandma won't want it." ”

Lin Changan also said: "Yes, Dad, Mom, don't lie to us." ”

Lin Changqing also nodded on the side.

The husband and wife glanced at each other, and sighed at the same time in their hearts, the family lives every day, and if they want to do something, they can't hide it at all.

Lin Aimin sat on the edge of the bed with his head down, in a low mood, and seemed to be a little unspeakable.

Zhao Yanan was afraid that her three sons would look down on her husband, so she hurriedly said: "I can't do this with your father, I have to take medicine to see a doctor, and you have to go to school in September, and our family still owes foreign debts..."

"This matter is all my idea, if you want to complain, you can blame me, but this matter must not be said, if you say it, our family will be over."

Lin Changping saw Zhao Yanan talking, his eyes were red, he was startled, and hurriedly explained, "Mom, how can I blame you?" If it was just for us, you and Dad wouldn't have worked so hard. ”

Lin Changan and Lin Changqing also nodded busily.

"Mom and Dad, the reason why I broke the matter today is because you go to the county seat once a week, it's still too eye-catching, don't go next time, let me go with Chang'an, we are young, even if we work and ask for leave, no one will doubt us."

Lin Changqing was afraid that he would forget him, so he hurriedly raised his voice, "And me, and me..."

Lin Changan hurriedly bumped Lin Changqing with his elbow, "You be quiet." ”

Lin Changqing immediately covered his mouth.

Zhao Yanan and Lin Aimin listened to their three sons say: I don't blame them, I was already happy in my heart, and I heard Lin Changping say: Let him go next time.

Lin Aimin raised his head and hesitated, "You are still young, this..."

Lin Changping immediately said: "Dad, I'm thirteen years old, not young. ”

Lin Changan also said: "Dad, I'm twelve years old, these days I teach us arithmetic, and I'm also very familiar with addition and subtraction, and the account will not be wrong." ”

The husband and wife were still a little hesitant.

Lin Changping continued to persuade: "Mom and Dad, you really can't go anymore, you didn't go to the county for a year and a half before, but now you go once a week, it's really not good." ”

The husband and wife knew that what Lin Changping said made sense, but they were still a little worried.

In the end, Lin Aimin finally made up his mind, "Next time I go to the county seat, Yanan, don't go with me, I'll take Changping and take him to get acquainted." ”

Zhao Yanan looked at her husband and her son with a happy look on his face, and finally nodded, "Then you must be careful." ”

Lin Chang'an also Lin Changqing hurriedly said: "We also want to go." ”

Lin Aimin said with a smile: "You can't go to so many people at one time, when your eldest brother is familiar, let your eldest brother take you there." ”

The two brothers were happy.

After another two days, Zhao Yanan went out at night to change a hundred eggs and came back.

The next morning, Lin Aimin took Lin Changping out;

After the father and son left, Zhao Yanan was a little absent-minded all day long, and after getting off work in the afternoon, he returned home to see that the father and son had returned.

Zhao Yanan walked up to Lin Aimin and asked urgently, "How is it?" ”

Lin Aimin said with a smile: "Don't worry, this kid in Changping is excited, and it is very smooth." ”

Zhao Yanan smiled at this time: "That's good." ”

Lin Changping was very happy to do business for the first time, but he didn't expect that just a trip to the county seat would make eight yuan a day.

It would be nice to go to the county seat every day to sell eggs.

It's a pity...

Lin Changping also knew that this was unrealistic, too dazzling.

After Lin Changping got started, Lin Aimin didn't go the second time, and Lin Changping took Lin Changan to go.

Lin Changqing was still very unhappy, until Lin Changping agreed: take him next time, Lin Changqing was happy.

The eggs were selling well, and in the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of September.

The village primary school is about to open!
