Chapter 10: Kana
"Got it." Lin Yanniang responded casually, but kept returning to her younger brothers' house.
Lin Canzheng was talking to Yun San with a serious face, and when he heard his sister's footsteps coming, he immediately stopped talking.
"Can'er, go see if Jie'er and Xue'er have slept, you take some with them, I'll wait for the sixth uncle and them to send the money before going back to the house."
Lin Yanniang saw that her younger brother hadn't left yet, so she ordered.
"Oh." Lin Can seemed to be a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly left obediently.
"What did my brother just say?" Lin Yanniang sat down on the kang again, handed the wooden spoon to the man, and asked him casually.
Thinking of the little boy threatening him not to marry his sister just now, the man smiled slightly and said, "He said that I should not let you fail and treat you well." ”
I didn't expect Can'er to say such a thing, Lin Yanniang was a little stunned.
The man seemed to be in a good mood, and he took a wooden spoon and continued to drink porridge.
Although his mouth was faint, he didn't care about what the fierce girl had said before, and soon another bowl of porridge bottomed out.
"In addition to fish soup, can you have a big steamed bun tomorrow?" Putting the wooden spoon into the bowl, the man did not lie down immediately, but looked at Lin Yanniang expectantly.
"I'm trying to find a way to satisfy you as much as I can." Lin Yanniang said casually when she got up.
"Thank you." The man thanked him, and then lay down.
Although it is a clear porridge, but after two bowls of belly, the man still feels a lot of strength, and he wants to leave in two days, and his heart is happy.
As soon as Lin Yanniang came out of the house with the bowl, she saw two people pushing the door in at the gate of the courtyard.
"Uncle Village! Uncle Six! She hurriedly shouted and walked over quickly.
"Yan Niang, how is the man's situation?" Village Chief Wang immediately asked.
"He woke up, ate two bowls of porridge, and just fell asleep." Lin Yanniang hurriedly explained Yun San's situation.
"Brother Village Chief! Sixth! Lin Ping'an also came out of the kitchen at this time, and invited people into the hall to sit.
Seeing this, Lin Yanniang didn't say much, and immediately went into the kitchen, made tea for Village Chief Wang and Lin Laoliu and sent it over, and then came back to wash the dishes.
Seeing that my mother had also fed the pigs and was doing the rest of the work in the kitchen, I wanted to go over and help.
"Yan Niang, you've been running in the mountains for a day, so go to bed at this time, be obedient." Lin Song stopped the big girl from working and pushed her away.
Lin Yanniang wanted to say something more, but when she saw that her mother was burying her head in chopping pig food again, she opened her mouth, and finally endured it.
The current predicament is not something she can comfort her mother by saying anything.
After washing up silently, she went back to her room.
The two little ones were already asleep, and Lin Can was sitting cross-legged on the kang, holding a slender bamboo branch in his hand, and paddling on the ground with an oil lamp.
"Sister, that person said his name was Yun San, isn't this Yun? This three? Lin Can saw her come in and hurriedly asked.
Lin Yanniang walked over and looked at her younger brother writing a two-word stroke on the ground, nodded and said, "Well, his surname is Yun, and he is called Yun San in the third line of his family, and his real name is not this." ”
"Why?" Lin Can looked up in surprise.
"He's from Kannai, and he doesn't look very poor, so naturally he is a family that has read books, how can he take such a simple name? It's not from our village, and I can't read a few words. ”
Lin Yanniang hooked her lips and smiled, she knew that it was a fake name when she heard it, and she was rescued by the poor people in the mountains when she was in trouble.
I think this is also the main reason why her father stopped her from recruiting this person as her son-in-law.
Since my father disagrees and my mother is worried, then forget it, at most she will give up her face, but if she can pick some silver taels from it, she will still earn it.
Lin Yanniang was calculating, but she didn't want to say more, so she urged Lin Can to go to bed quickly, and get up early tomorrow to practice martial arts.
Lin Can saw that his sister was lying down with clothes on the outside of the door, so he turned off the lights and slept on Lin Jie's side.
Lin Yanniang closed her eyes and thought about her thoughts, and didn't care what her father said to the village chief and the sixth uncle.
Soon after, footsteps and whispers were heard, and as the courtyard door was closed, it fell silent again.
After a while, the footsteps of my father's crutches slowly came to the door of the house, and he seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then turned to leave.
Lin Yanniang opened her eyes and didn't get up.
In the middle of the night, everything was silent, and the entire Daxi Village fell into a deep sleep.
The lights in the next room had long since been turned off, and only the afterglow of the stars and moon in the sky sprinkled in front of the window, illuminating the room half-brightly and half-darkly.
The man lying on the kang suddenly opened his eyes, and after a while, he slowly got up, dragged a leg that was not very dexterous and slowly got off the kang, groped for a while, and came to the door of the house.
Avoiding the moonlight, he stood against the wall under the low eaves, listened attentively, and heard a few breaths gently and shallowly into his ears, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the door next to him.
As soon as he took a step over there, he thought of something and immediately withdrew his foot.
He looked up at the sky, and the night in the mountains was no stranger.
It's just that he didn't expect that he Yun Jingning would also be rescued in distress one day, and he would have to deal with people in the mountains.
Thinking of the simple and kind couple, he felt a little sad in his heart, but when he thought of the fierce woman who demanded money, his eyes sank, and his mood was a little complicated.
……
The occasional clear birdsong in the mountains and forests alarmed the barking of dogs in the village, which was a familiar movement in this quiet night.
In the house, Lin Yanniang opened her eyes and listened for a while, suddenly jumped off the kang, took two steps to the door, opened the door, and looked coldly at the man who had just walked outside the door.
"What do you want to do?" As soon as his body moved, he turned to the man's back in an instant, hooked his arm around his stomach, and asked in a deep voice.
"Go to the latrine." The girl's unique fragrance penetrated into her nose, and the man's eyes flickered, and he also lowered his voice to explain the reason.
"Found it?" The girl behind her did not let go, and raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Well, it's not hard to find." The man hooked his lips slightly, and suddenly twitched his lower nose vigorously, "It's good to smell a beautiful fragrance when you come out!" ”
"......" Lin Yanniang's body stiffened, and she immediately frowned and let go of her hand.
"I'm your son-in-law, you don't have to be shy." The man turned around, looked at the woman who had conceded defeat with a happy gaze, and spoke again in a good mood.
"Do you want to experience the consequences of talking nonsense?" Lin Yanniang raised her head abruptly, staring at the man's gaze overflowing with coldness.
"I was dizzy and tired, and I had to lie down to recuperate." The man immediately turned around and fumbled his way into the house with his hands on the door frame.
"Hmph." Lin Yanniang's eyes were full of disdain as she watched the man climb onto the kang and lie down, and then closed the door of the house.
She turned around and walked around the house to make sure that the man of unknown origin had not done anything dangerous, and then went back to the house and went back to sleep.
Before dawn the next day, the morning breeze in May was still a little cool, Lin Yanniang put the small back basket into the big back basket, put it on her back, and quietly went out of the house.
