Chapter 35: All to Help
The mud walls around the house are waist-high and have collapsed in many places, and the word 'dilapidated' is everywhere.
The yard was cleaned up by Lin Aimin and Lin Changping, and only a little grass root could be seen;
There are three rooms, the area is not large, the wooden door of the house has been somewhat decayed, and the potholes on it are full of traces of erosion by time.
The window is small, with only a blackened wooden frame remaining;
Lin Yin even saw the weeds growing very vigorously on the walls and on the top of the wall, fluttering in the wind, full of vitality.
The roof has half collapsed, Lin Aimin rubbed his hands and said to Zhao Yanan: "Daughter-in-law, this house is too dilapidated, let's make do with it for a few months, and when we are idle for a few days, we will let the old branch secretary give a homestead and build two thatched houses to live in, and when I earn money, we will ...... again."
Zhao Yanan didn't wait for Lin Aimin to finish speaking, he held Lin Aimin's hand, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "Don't say it, child, dad, I understand." ”
Zhao Yanan took a deep breath, walked into the courtyard from the gap in the mud wall, pushed open the wooden door that could not be dropped, looked at the house, and saw that the house was empty, only a narrow wooden bed with a missing leg, stacked at the base of the wall;
The sunlight shone down the hole in the roof and dispelled the gloom.
Lin Aimin picked up Lin Yin and put Lin Yin under a big tree in front of the door, "Obedient, sit here for a while, father, mother and brother will clean up the house." ”
Lin Yin nodded sensibly and watched Lin Aimin carry the broken bed in the house outside.
Throw away what can be thrown in the house first, Zhao Yanan said to Lin Aimin: "The child is his father, I will go to Sister-in-law Zhou's house to borrow a few brooms; ”
Sister-in-law Zhou is the person who has the best relationship with Zhao Yanan in the village.
Lin Aimin nodded when he heard this, and then said, "Yanan, I'll go with the child to cut the reeds." ”
The two sides worked together, and before Zhao Yanan left, he asked Lin Yin to sit obediently under the tree and wait for her.
Lin Aimin wanted Lin Changqing to stay with Lin Yin, Lin Changqing was a little hesitant, Lin Yin hurriedly said: "Dad, I'm not going anywhere, let the third brother help you." ”
Seeing that Lin Yin was so sensible, Lin Aimin stepped forward and patted Lin Yin gently, "Okay." ”
Lin Aimin took his three sons to the river, Lin Yin sat under the tree, listened to the squeak on the tree, and took the initiative to say to the system for the first time: "I want to learn." ”
The system almost jumped up with joy, "Host, you have finally opened your mind, I'm so happy, I..."
Lin Yin rolled her eyes, "Don't talk nonsense." ”
The textbooks of this era are different from the textbooks that Lin Yin learned when he was a child, although he can figure out mathematics, the language is not the same at all, and Lin Yin can only learn from scratch.
When Zhao Yanan came back, he was holding a broom in his hand, and he was accompanied by a dark-skinned middle-aged woman, who was Zhou's sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law Zhou also had a broom in her hand, and she was here to help Zhao Yanan.
The two talked as they walked.
Sister-in-law Zhou encouraged Zhao Yanan, "Although you are out of the house, but your husband and wife are diligent people, and your life will be no different in the future, if you need my help in the future, you can say as soon as possible, as long as I can help, I will do it for you." ”
Zhao Yanan was moved in his heart, and said with a smile, "Hey, thank you so much, sister-in-law." ”
"Thank you," Sister-in-law Zhou smiled and waved her hand, "I have the best relationship with you in this village, and we are from the same village, I won't help you help anyone!" ”
Sister-in-law Zhou's eyes were sharp, and she saw Lin Yin sitting under the tree at a glance, and shouted with a smile on her face, "Nannan, Nannan..."
Lin Yin came back to her senses and guessed that the woman beside Zhao Yanan should be Zhou's sister-in-law, and also raised a smile, "Auntie." ”
"Hey," Sister-in-law Zhou responded, squatted in front of Lin Yin, and looked at the injury on Lin Yin's head with pity, "Your head doesn't hurt, right?" ”
Lin Yin shook his head: "It doesn't hurt anymore." ”
Sister-in-law Zhou hugged Lin Yin, "It's really a good child, my aunt will boil eggs for you to eat in a while." ”
Zhao Yanan was busy trying to refuse, but Lin Yin said to Zhou's sister-in-law: "Aunt doesn't need it, aunt should keep it for Brother Dog to eat." ”
Gou Yu is the youngest son of Zhou's sister-in-law, who is the same age as Lin Changqing, and has a very good relationship.
"Oops," Sister-in-law Zhou said rarely: "It's really good, I still think about your dog brother, but your dog brother is in good health, so you don't need to give him food." ”
Zhao Yanan was embarrassed and said, "Sister-in-law doesn't need it, it's almost ready." ”
Zhao Yanan also wanted her daughter to eat something good, but they went out of the house and had nothing on them, so they were embarrassed to ask for it!
Sister-in-law Zhou insisted, "Yanan, what are you polite to me, I'm not giving you food, I'm going to give you food, look at this child, he looks thin again!" ”
Zhao Yanan watched her daughter stay obediently in Zhou's sister-in-law's arms, and she was kicked out without eating lunch, thinking that her daughter should be hungry at this time.
Zhao Yanan is not good to refuse again.
Sister-in-law Zhou put Lin Yin on the ground and said, "Nan Nan sit here for a while, and your aunt will help your mother tidy up the house first." ”
Lin Yin nodded: "Auntie has worked hard." ”
Sister-in-law Zhou ironed in her heart, and felt that although Yanan, the little girl, looked a little ugly, this child was really sensible, and praised Zhao Yanan with a smile, "Yanan, this child is really rare..."
Sister-in-law Zhou said as she followed Zhao Yanan into the dilapidated house, and the two began to clean it.
When the two of them were almost cleaned up, Sister-in-law Zhou left first, Zhao Yanan sat down next to Lin Yin, and asked in a gentle tone, "Are you hungry?" ”
Lin Yin shook his head: "I'm not hungry." ”
Zhao Yanan hugged Lin Yin in his arms, "After a while, the old branch secretary and grandfather will let people send food, and wait." ”
Lin Yin nodded, "Yes." ”
After a while, the old branch secretary and the old village chief came with their children, followed by the young people in the village.
The old branch secretary asked his grandson to put a bag of grain on the ground, and said to Zhao Yanan: "Aimin daughter-in-law, this is a bag of white noodles, you eat first, the child is not well, you have to make up for her," so the old branch secretary did not take coarse grain.
Zhao Yanan was grateful, "Thank you, Uncle Zhishu." ”
The old branch secretary waved his hand, "Okay," and asked, "What about Aimin?" ”
Zhao Yanan hurriedly said: "I'm going to cut the reeds." ”
The old village chief hurriedly answered: "The freshly cut reeds are a little wet, and my family has dry ones, so use my family first." ”
Zhao Yanan's eyes were red with emotion, "Uncle Village Chief, thank you, when my house is built, I will let Aimin cut the reeds and dry them and send them to you." ”
The old village chief shook his head, "That's not in a hurry," he turned to his grandson and said, "Go, bring a few people, and bring our family's dried reeds." ”
The grandson of the old village chief answered, and hurried with two more people.
The rest of the people, under the command of the old branch secretary, began to get busy.
After a while, Lin Aimin and his three children returned, all carrying a lot of reeds on their backs.
The separation was too sudden, and Lin Aimin's family was not prepared at all, otherwise, they would have dried the reeds early.
