Chapter 15: Eighteen Girls and a Flower
The man was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by a hand, and he frowned and looked at her with some displeasure.
"Eat something, I'll drink some medicine later." Lin Yanniang was not afraid of him, and turned around and put the fish soup on the table.
After a while, Lin Jie sent another bowl of wotou.
Yun San actually didn't have long to eat breakfast, and when he saw Wotou, he hurriedly said, "One Wotou is fine." ”
He was no longer hungry, but the medicine was taken after meals, and I think this was the reason why he was woken up to eat.
While he was eating, only Lin Jie squatted on the threshold and looked at him.
Lin Yanniang went back to her house without saying a word.
According to the old rules, she will go up the mountain early tomorrow morning, and the time will be similar to this morning, so she must hurry to get her clothes and pants ready.
Her embroidery skills are not good, but in terms of fine needlework and speed, she is no worse than any village girl, from childhood to adulthood, she is a very flexible and agile person in doing everything.
Embroidery, it's just that there is no time.
Lin Can's shout came from the yard, he was calling his little brother and sister to go to the hillside to cut weeds and pick leaves, the pigs at home have no oil and water, and one of the staple foods is this.
In the kitchen, Lin Ping'an guarded the medicine stove, and when the medicine was decoctioned, he poured out a bowl and sent it to Yun San.
Yun San was eating in the house, silently feeling the Lin family's care for him, as well as the living conditions of the Lin family, all in his eyes.
Lin Yanniang didn't go out in the house all afternoon, during which Lin Song came to see her, and she wanted to scold and be even more sad, and finally almost cried again.
Lin Yanniang hurriedly handed her the cut top material.
"Mother, I made an emergency first, this jacket shouldn't be in such a hurry, you can do it, I have to go up the mountain early tomorrow morning."
A man has to change clothes, and of course the most important thing is pants, so it is only natural that she made pants first, thinking that she would come back tomorrow night to make a top.
"You, if you really can't get married, what can you do?" Lin Song was so angry that he reached out and poked her forehead, but he couldn't scold anything else.
"Don't be afraid, I have two younger brothers, and they will fight to support me." Lin Yanniang smiled freely and didn't care at all.
"Silly boy." Lin Song looked at her for a long time before he shook his head in a choked voice, and left with the piece of blouse.
In the evening, the family had dinner, Lin Can and Lin Jie already had experience, and took the initiative to take care of Yun San's food and medicine, so that my sister didn't have to go.
In the afternoon, the brothers and the younger sister went to cut the pigweed, and Lin Xue told the two brothers what the elder sister said.
The brothers decided on the spot that they didn't want their sister to spend any more time with the bearded uncle.
Because of their dissatisfaction with Yun San, they also learned from their sister's call uncle, and added the word "beard".
This is the secret of the three of them, and Lin Yanniang doesn't know it.
She just looked at the three little brothers and sisters with a helpless and relieved face, so she went to gather the firewood that had been drying in the yard for a day and sent it to the firewood room, and went to help feed the pigs.
Seeing that she was always looking for work to do, Lin Song, who was washing the dishes, reminded her helplessly.
"You better hurry back to the house, do what you haven't done quickly, wash and sleep early, and go up the mountain tomorrow."
What are you doing with these trivial things now, and you have to get up early when you sleep late, isn't it even harder?
Lin Yanniang thought about it, but still carried two buckets of pig food to the backyard pig pen, and then Lin Ping'an came over on crutches.
"Go and get busy with you, but don't go see him again." Lin Ping'an told the big girl and looked at her very seriously.
"Got it, Dad, don't worry." Lin Yanniang hurriedly and obediently responded, and didn't argue with her father anymore.
She had a plan in mind.
It was still early, so she simply fetched water and went back to the house to take a bath.
Although she went to the mountains early in the morning, it was much easier than hunting, and doing needlework in the house in the afternoon was not called work, she had actually rested for most of the day, and she was relaxed at this time.
Just taking a hot bath can soothe the accumulated fatigue.
After bathing, I dried my hair, and when I came out to pour water, I saw that my three younger siblings were squatting at the door of the next room, talking in a whisper.
She glanced into the room and saw Yun San sitting at the small table eating fish slowly, very silent, not talking to his younger siblings, or did his younger siblings not talk to him?
Lin Yanniang was slightly surprised, and looked at the squatting few, saying so seriously that she didn't notice her coming out.
"What are you talking about?" Lin Yanniang took two steps to the side.
"Sister!" Lin Can and Lin Jie said in unison and turned their heads to look at her.
"Sister!" Lin Xue got up and pounced, hugged Lin Yanniang and raised her little face, and hurriedly said, "Big brother said that he also wants to go up the mountain tomorrow." ”
"Let's talk about it in three years." Lin Yanniang glanced at her eldest brother and refused.
"Sister, I asked the sixth uncle, tomorrow you don't go far, it's in the depths of Sungai Ridge, and it's not to go to Wild Boar Ridge, there are many small prey, it's not dangerous."
Lin Can stood up and said hurriedly.
"It's not a question of whether it's dangerous or not, it's that you're small and have little physical strength." Lin Yanniang spoke indifferently, and did not let go of her brother's expectations.
"We hunters will not spend the night in the mountains, a day is limited, and we will not all be spent on the way up the mountain, and your martial arts, arm strength, and strains will still have to be practiced."
"Besides, it was not long after the hunting started, and it was when everyone got up to hunt, it was really inconvenient to bring you, and our family couldn't cause trouble to others."
"Besides, we didn't hunt much in Sungai Ridge yesterday, if it weren't for the mountain boar we met later when we were heading to Wild Boar Ridge......
Lin Yanniang suddenly paused when she said this, and pursed her lower lip helplessly.
The boar was the first to be hit by her arrow, but almost at the same time, it was targeted by other villages.
She is far away and the other party is close, even if her archery skills are better, she can't escape the situation of being divided.
Otherwise, they can divide the money more.
But they all rely on the mountains to eat, even if there is a dispute, it will not be too stiff, at most they will take a step back and get some.
But yesterday she was able to take one or two more, but it was the face given by all the Orions, and it was the face of her father, the archer Lin Ping'an.
It's just that she can't say more to her younger brothers.
But what she said just now had made the eldest brother blush, and he squatted down again with an annoyed face, and stopped talking.
"Don't worry, kung fu is practiced, experience is saved, sister promises you, take you up the mountain in three years, and our family has one more archer."
"But in three years you'll be eighteen." Lin Can pouted and said sullenly.
Lin Yanniang was stunned, it turned out that he was in a hurry to go up the mountain for this, but he was still afraid that she would marry far away or not marry, and he was afraid that their young age would drag her down.
"Silly boy, you don't understand, eighteen girls have a flower, the flowers bloom just right, it is the most beautiful age in a person's life, and when they get married, there are more people to marry."
Lin Yanniang stepped forward with a smile, stretched out her hand and rubbed the heads of her two younger brothers, and boasted indifferently.
"Poof, cough......" The sound of a man choking suddenly came from the room.
