Chapter 228: After the Autumn Harvest
After going down the mountain, Lin Yanniang didn't let the man carry it, and she could still carry a back basket when she came down and walked, which was not difficult for her.
Looking at the younger brothers who persevered, she also praised them a few words, but Yun Jingning took off the big back basket that Lin Can was carrying and put it on her back.
Lin Can is already ten years old, and he is carrying the heaviest basket along the way.
Lin Can moved for a while and was about to pick up the little brother, but Lin Jie avoided it, and said with a smile: "Brother, I am only two years younger than you, and the two rabbits can still be carried on their backs." ”
So Lin Can went to see his sister again.
Lin Yanniang also smiled: "I let your brother-in-law carry me all the way, why am I tired?" ”
Lin Can had to grin, only took the quiver, and put the bow and arrows on his back.
At this time, seeing grandpa coming, everyone stopped talking and looked at grandpa.
"How's it going on the hills? What did you get? Old Man Lin sniffed with a smile, "Osmanthus is so fragrant!" Make a handful of grandpa wine. ”
Lin Yanniang took off the basket and opened the cloth bag, but the old man didn't ask for much, just pulled his clothes and pocketed.
"Grandpa, we only picked some hawthorns and chestnuts, and we also caught some fish, and we ......," Lin Yanniang said after catching two handfuls of osmanthus flowers.
"No, there is food at home, and your grandmother is not at home, so you don't have to give these things." Old Man Lin said immediately.
Of course, the food yesterday was put away by Jiang's wicked woman, she couldn't eat alone, she always had to eat some for her daughter.
There was nothing in the second room, how could he take the food he had found in the second room on the mountain?
"That's okay, we also caught two rabbits, and they were boiled at night, grandpa and uncle came over to eat, and let Yinhua and Xinghua also come over secretly."
Lin Yanniang understood a little when she heard it, and said with a smile.
It's just that this is obvious, obviously Lin Jiang and Lin Jinhua are not welcome, and since grandma is not at home, she is too lazy to send them here.
"Okay, do you still have wine at home? I'll bring a jar of wine myself. When Old Man Lin heard that there were rabbits to eat, the smile on his face became even stronger.
"There is still wine at home, grandpa doesn't need to bring it, keep it for yourself." Lin Yanniang smiled again.
The wine at home is still extra when they get married, my father usually doesn't drink much, and he is reluctant to drink, and the man doesn't seem to be greedy for wine, and he is very self-disciplined.
That's why she wants to soak osmanthus wine, and in winter, her father will drink more to get rid of the cold.
And the man said that this wine is good, it is not shoddy wine, nor is it an ordinary burning knife, even if the mother can drink it.
After Mr. Lin left, everyone continued to go back, and the people they met again on the road wanted to ask for it when they smelled the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, but there was not much they could give.
Lin Yanniang asked them to find the hunters to pick them, there are osmanthus trees in the mountains, but there are no in the village.
The people in the village did not dare to enter the mountains, and they would not catch the prey when they encountered it, and if they encountered the fierce ones, they were afraid of being injured, so they could only find the hunters.
Recently, the hunters will also bring some fruit back from the mountains, which is cheaper than in the town, and those who want to eat will also buy some.
When they returned home, they immediately cut the fish and soaked the wine, they were all busy, and Lin Ping'an personally handled the rabbit and didn't let Lin Yanniang see it.
Lin Yanniang took the happy little sister to clean up the osmanthus flowers, and picked out the ones that were slightly not very good-looking, and dried the rest and soaked them in the wine jar later.
Lin Song was cutting the fish, driving Lin Yanniang far away, afraid that she would vomit when she smelled the fishy smell.
A little later, the Orions also descended the mountain.
They saw Lin Yanniang and Yun Jingning in the mountains, but they wanted to hunt and stopped hunting, and everyone didn't get together to chat for too long.
However, now they will also pick fruits and other things, not only for hunting, but also for resting in places where fungus and wild mushrooms grow.
It is still dispatched together, division of labor and cooperation, and sharing money together.
In this way, everyone is still united, and there will be no complaints because of who deserted halfway.
If the people in the village don't buy it, they send their family members to the town to sell it.
These things are not sold to the traffickers, who do not know that they also do this, but just hunt as usual.
After raising the price and squeezing out the dealers in the Guannai, the Tian brothers wanted to take the opportunity to reduce the price again, but who knew that the town was forbidden to travel and hunting in the wild boar ridge, which directly led to the sale almost impossible to do.
Later, after the ban was lifted, the demand increased, and there were fewer prey to look for in the mountains, so where did they dare to mention the price reduction?
If the Orions don't do it, they won't have to do their business.
Therefore, these days, the relations between the two sides have gotten along quite well, and everything is going smoothly.
In a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, the autumn harvest in the village is in full swing, Lin Yanniang went to the mountain once and felt a lot happier, and continued to make winter clothes every day.
Yun Jingning really didn't get shouted by Dafang.
He won't take the initiative to help, so he stays at home every day, takes his younger brothers to continue to practice horseback riding, dismantling boxing, carrying water, and now he can be taken by his brothers to the mountains to chop wood.
used to carry firewood, but now it has completely replaced Lin Yanniang's position, and the woodcutter is also presentable, and there is no bitterness at all.
When I got to the big house, I called the brothers to go to the field to pick up the ears, and they were busy for two days.
The second half of August passed in a busy way, the autumn breeze was cooler, and the sky gradually became less brilliant, and from time to time a gust of north wind pressed the mountains and forests and whistled by.
Mrs. Lin has been back for many days, and she sent two boxes of silver-headed noodles, saying that her aunt knew that she was wrong and wanted to make up for it, but Lin Yanniang still shook her head and refused to accept it.
Mrs. Lin forced it into her, turned around and left, and didn't come over again.
Lin Yanniang put this gift in her mother's place, still saying that she didn't want it, but she didn't send it back.
After the autumn harvest, while the land was drying to increase fat, Mr. Lin and Lin Fugui also went up the mountain to cut firewood, in addition to daily use, they also had to reserve winter firewood.
The same is true for the people in the village, who start stockpiling winter firewood sooner or later, and some of them have piled up high stacks of firewood on the edges or fields that are temporarily empty.
If you are stocking up on firewood, you will not be too close to your home, and you will not be too close to the kitchen for fear of fire.
Like Lin Yanniang, it is also piled up in the corner of the yard, as well as on the side of the new house, the new house has no kitchen, and it is still a high-walled compound.
When the new house was erected outside the courtyard wall, Yun Jingning asked his sappers to help complete the task of stacking firewood.
Now that I have cut it again, the vacant land next to the vegetable field has also been piled up, and there are no vegetables in the backyard, and some small vegetables have been planted.
This year's firewood stacks are much higher than in previous years, and Lin Yanniang is finally satisfied and will not feel that there is not enough in winter.
August passed, Yun Jingning planned to go back to the army to have a look, these days it seems that everyone wants him to accompany his daughter-in-law, but no one came to look for him, and no news was sent back.
No news is good news, so he didn't go out, but he stayed at home all the time, and it was difficult to explain.
After all, he came back empty, and he had to go back to transport grain, didn't he? Otherwise, where will the money be brought back to settle the family?
