Chapter 35: Restless
In the next room, Lin Yanniang did not go to bed early, but took out the shoes she had cut before and began to collect the soles.
Lin Xue picked up the shoes that her sister threw out, and looked at her sister's work with a confused expression.
"His shoes are really dirty, they need to be washed." Lin Yanniang explained casually while being busy.
"......" Lin Xue tilted her head, revealing a blank expression.
Lin Can and Lin Jie practiced boxing again in the yard and came back from taking a cold shower by the well.
They wore big trousers, straw sandals on their feet, and a long cloth around their necks, wiping their hair.
"Sister, let's go up the mountain to catch fish tomorrow, right?" Lin Can looked at his sister's proposal expectantly, and his eyes were stunned when he touched the things in his sister's hand.
"Sister, we can catch more fish to sell and bring them to the town to sell!" Lin Jie is a big ghost and has already started the idea of making money.
In fact, they still want to go to the town, but they are reluctant to spend the money for the car, so they want to sell fish to earn the money back.
"I can't be free tomorrow, I'm going to return that robe, that guy doesn't wear it, it's a waste of money to stay at home." Lin Yanniang explained that she had no intention of going up the mountain tomorrow.
"That'...... Can my brother and I go to the village stream to catch fish? Lin Jie glanced at his eldest brother and asked unrelentingly.
"Just that little distance from the village, what fish are you catching? There are also others who will be caught. Lin Yanniang glanced at her little brother and wasted time.
"You don't take us up the mountain, and we can't catch fish in the village, so what will we sell when we go to town?" Lin Jie sat on the edge of the kang and pouted in frustration.
"Next time, next time we go outside Sungai Ridge, we have to chop wood tomorrow, and we won't go into the mountain." Seeing this, Lin Yanniang only had to explain a few more words, and also appeased her younger brother.
"Jie'er, we can't carry that far into the mountain to chop firewood, let's just chop firewood on the hillside, and it's convenient to carry it home." Lin Can understood and turned around to remind his younger brother.
It's good to go into the mountains to catch fish, and there are firewood to chop in the mountains, but their brothers are too young to carry a large bundle of firewood down the mountain from the mountains.
Therefore, when they usually want to chop firewood, they cut firewood on the edge of the mountains and forests near their homes, not only with their strength can carry it home, but even their father can carry some of it.
I can't just rely on my sister.
Lin Jie agreed in a muffled voice.
Chop wood and don't chop it for a day, my sister must be fooling them.
The next day, Lin Yanniang got up early again, practiced boxing in the yard for a while, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast, not knowing that the man in the next room also got up, so she leaned under the window and looked out, her eyes shining.
When Lin Can and Lin Jie also got up and practiced boxing in the courtyard, it was already dark and bright, and my father and mother also got up.
Lin Song went into the kitchen and saw that the big girl was always so hardworking, and she did the housework whenever she had time, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
She is such a good girl, she should be matched with an excellent man and find a good mother-in-law!
When Lin Can and Lin Jie came to call the door with the hot water for washing, Yun Jingning lay down and slept again, and asked people to push the door.
It turned out that he didn't bolt the door at night, and the little boys didn't think much about it, after all, this was their own home.
After Yun Jingning washed up, he brought breakfast.
"Third Brother Yun, you have to rest more, otherwise this leg is so slow that you won't run around." Lin Jie stood on the threshold and admonished.
"I'm walking around!" When Yun Jingning sat down at the table, he glanced at him, he was really a child who couldn't speak.
"The meaning is the same, that is, my sister hopes that you will rest in the house today, and I hope your injuries will heal soon, after all, taking medicine also costs money, and spending money is of course to cure the disease."
Lin Jie rolled his eyes and continued.
It turned out to convey the meaning of the girl?
Yun Jingning hooked his lips and asked instead of answering: "Are you going up the mountain today?" ”
"No, let's chop wood." Lin Jie hurriedly said, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
"When the third brother's leg is healed, I will take you up the mountain to catch fish." Yun Jingning took a sip of fish soup and talked while eating Rewotou.
Lin Jie's eyes lit up, and he glanced at him in disbelief: "You can catch fish?" ”
"It's not okay to hunt, it's okay to catch fish." Yun Jingning replied affirmatively with a natural expression.
"I'm lost in the mountains, how can I survive if I don't catch fish to eat?" Seeing that the kid didn't believe it, he added another sentence.
"That's right, Third Brother Yun, you have been walking in the mountains for a few days, you must eat, then you hurry up and recuperate, let's go up the mountain!"
Lin Jie believed it, his little face smiled with some excitement, and punched his palm, unable to hide his excitement.
"Okay." Yun Jing Ning Wan'er, thinking to himself, he will get the Lin family one by one, just see what the girl has to oppose.
Lin Jie happily ran to the hall, but when he was about to enter the door, he stopped his feet urgently and made up his mind in his heart.
After a while, he cleaned up his mood and walked into the hall casually and sat down beside Lin Can.
"Is that man okay?" Lin Yanniang couldn't help but ask when she saw her little brother come back and sit down to eat without saying a word.
When she asked like this, the whole family looked at Lin Jie.
"Well, I told him what my sister said." Lin Jie tried his best to tighten his expression and replied with a serious face.
He did say it, and it wasn't a lie.
Lin Yanniang nodded and said nothing more.
Anyway, the guy looked restless, and those words were just to express her attitude, which was better than nothing.
Soon, she put down the dishes and chopsticks and got up, and looked at Lin Xue: "Xue'er, you and your mother are at home, you help wash the dishes." ”
"Oh!" Lin Xue hurriedly agreed, and her sister said that she had to do what she could.
"Jer, we'll be on the western slopes, bring a basket in a moment, and cut the pigweed first."
Lin Can also ate a few bites, took another nest head in his hand, told his younger brother when he got up, and followed his sister's footsteps.
Looking at the sensible and diligent children, Lin Ping'an's heart felt a warmth, followed by a mixture of bitterness, he lowered his eyes and stuffed a mouthful of nests into his mouth.
"I'll go do the laundry first." Lin Song smiled and said softly.
Lin Ping'an glanced at her, also smiled slightly, and then cleaned up his mood and no longer thought about those painful pasts.
Lin Yanniang and Lin Can walked quickly to the edge of the mountain forest in the west with straw ropes and firewood knives, and walked around the neighborhood.
"Can'er, you stand farther away, and then come over to collect firewood when I'm done." Lin Yanniang turned her head and told her eldest brother.
When he had gone farther, she looked up and looked again, and found a strong tree, and climbed up with a sharp figure, and stood on the relatively tall thick branches, and when she looked up, she found the half-dead branches that were arm thick, and cut them down.
At this time, it is the end of May, when everything is luxuriant, it is not easy to find the old dead branches, it is good to have this half-withered one, you can save a firewood stack, and burn it slowly.
