Chapter 1: Did you pick it up in the ravine?

Next Chapter

In the Tohoku in June, the weather is neither hot nor cold, and it is the time to be comfortable.

Lin Yue was lying on the kang in a daze at this time, because it was summer, so she was only covered with a layer of sheets and was wearing short-sleeved shorts. Hearing her father call her up, Lin Yue turned over reluctantly, and after a while, she slowly sat up, with a strand of disobedient hair standing on her head. Lin Yue rubbed her chubby little hands with her eyes, looked out the window in confusion, and responded with a glutinous "Okay" in her mouth.

At this time, there was a chicken cry of "cluck~, cluck~" in the yard, and Lin Yue's mother went to the bud rice building outside to grab two handfuls of corn kernels and sprinkled them in the yard, screaming "goo~goo~goo~goo", which was the password for calling chickens to eat. Then she turned and went into the house, closed the door with her hand, washed her hands, and prepared to serve breakfast. Lin Yue's father picked up a kang table from the wall of the inner room and put it on the sleeping kang, and then shouted loudly to the three children to get up and eat.

Lin Yue's father's name is Lin Chengzhi, from a small place in Shandong, Lin Yue's mother's name is Liu Li, an authentic Northeast girl. When Lin Yue's father was a child, the family couldn't eat, so he followed his relatives to the Northeast to beg for a living, which was thirty years, and the two had two sons and a daughter. Lin Yue's grandfather missed his homeland a few years ago, so he took his wife and other children back to Shandong, leaving his youngest son.

Lin Yue smoothed her hair with her hand, then simply folded the sheet that slipped to her thighs a few times, pressed it on the folded sheet with her hand, and put it on the top of the kang, and then she slipped off the kang, put on her shoes, and went to the outhouse to wash.

After Lin Yue finished washing, he obediently sat at the kang table, waiting for dinner. The eldest brother and the second brother haven't come out yet, and these two people have to ask their parents to shout several times every day before they can get up. In Liu Li's words, it is "not worry-free".

Lin Chengzhi walked to the door of the hut, pushed open the door, went in and shouted again, "Xiaotian, Xiaofeng, hurry up and eat, no one will give you heat when it's cold for a while."

Then I heard a sound of "rustling" from the hut, and after a while, the brothers looked like they hadn't slept enough, and followed Lin Chengzhi out of the hut.

The eldest brother Lin Yongtian is 10 years old this year, and the second brother Lin Yongfeng is 8 years old this year.

The two of them walked into the back room slowly, and were just about to sit down next to the edge of the kang when they heard Liu Li knock on the table with chopsticks and say loudly, "Wash your face, wash your face and eat again." The two brothers were frightened, and they woke up in an instant, so they hurriedly pushed me and I pushed yours to go to the outhouse to wash their faces. Lin Yue watched the movements of the two elder brothers, covered his mouth, and grinned. After tossing and turning for a while, the family finally had breakfast.

"Look at you, what are you doing, and no one is robbing you, eating a meal is like a war, rice grains are all over the table, I don't know how to cherish food, do you know how many people can't eat now, and it's so sloppy to eat." Liu Li used chopsticks to point at the rice grains that Lin Yongtian had dropped on the table, and counted them to him.

"Sitting and sitting, standing and standing, eating and eating, I am stunned all day long, and I don't know who it looks like." Liu Li continued to count her eldest son, and after speaking, she used her hand to pull the rice grains he dropped on the table one by one.

"When eating, don't talk about children. Who didn't do that when they were kids? Besides, the son was born to you, and you say who you look like. Lin Chengzhi took a sip of cabbage soup with a sullen head, and then looked up at Lin Yongtian, who was pulling rice, and said.

"Such a big child, it's the time to attract suspicion, all I want to think about playing, I don't stop for a moment, I only know Tao." Lin Chengzhi smiled and put down the chopsticks in his hand, then pinched the rice grains that Liu Li had piled up with one hand, threw them into the iron bucket of garbage on the ground, and then wiped them on the wet rag next to him.

"Dad, where did I get from?" Xiao Lin Yue tilted her little head, looked at Lin Chengzhi next to her, and asked crisply.

"You picked it up from a ravine." The second brother Lin Yongfeng put down the chopsticks in his hand, pinched the meat on his face with both hands, made a grimace at his sister, and said with a smile.

"Is there a ravine behind our house? It's too buried! I don't believe it, you lied to me, Dad, your old son bullied me again, you take care of it! Lin Yue threw down the chopsticks, kicked the two little short legs, and cried to sue Lin Chengzhi.

"What are you doing with your little sister, you don't have a brother every day, you won't let her order? Look at your little sister crying. ”

Lin Chengzhi said and quickly put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, picked up the old girl who was still kicking her legs in distress, let her sit on her coiled calves, wiped the tears hanging on Lin Yue's little face with her hands, and then rubbed Lin Yue's fleshy little face with her stubble chin, causing Lin Yue to laugh "giggles".

"My old girl was born to her parents, but she is a baby, how could it be that she was picked up from the ravine, your second brother is teasing you, you still take it seriously" Lin Chengzhi coaxed the daughter in his arms and said gently.

After hearing this, Xiao Lin Yue pouted, with a heavy nasal voice, snorted loudly at Lin Yongfeng, then rolled his eyes, sat in Lin Chengzhi's arms and continued to eat breakfast.

"Oh, Mom, I heard our little Yue'er crying from afar, what's wrong? Look at the tears on this little face, it's not beautiful, come here, let the grandmother take a look. I saw a woman push the door in with a smile on her face, looked at Lin Yue who was unhappy and asked. Grandma's house is east of Lin Yue's house, and the two houses are next to each other, so they usually visit each other's doors when they are fine. At this time, the grandmother came to find Liu Li to chat.

"Grandma, my old sister asked her where she came from, and my brother said that you picked it up from the ravine, and she cried. What's there to cry about, girls are trouble, crying at every turn. No, my dad is coaxing" The eldest brother Lin Yongtian looked at the woman who had just entered the door and said to her what had just happened at the dinner table. He still had unswallowed rice in his mouth, so he couldn't speak clearly.

"Haha, Xiao Yue'er is so smart, and she still believes what your second brother said, the grandmother knows that he is a liar when she hears it, you really believe it." If I can pick up the child from the ravine, then I have to go to the ravine to have a look, maybe I can also pick up a beautiful little girl and come back" The grandmother held the edge of the kang with both hands, bent over, and teased Lin Yue who was eating.

"My dad said that I was my own." Lin Yue put down the chopsticks, turned around and hugged Lin Chengzhi, and said with a firm face. "That's right, you're your father's old girl, how can you pick it up, if someone says this in the future, you can tell your father, and your father will help you teach him a lesson, you know." Lin Chengzhi touched his daughter's head with his hand, looked at the little face in front of him and said seriously.

"Come, eat enough, eat enough, Dad will take you to the backyard to pick up the dark days" Saying that, Lin Yue's father got off the kang, put on shoes for himself and Lin Yue, picked up Lin Yue and went out. Lin Yongtian and Lin Yongfeng also finished eating, and as soon as the two put down their chopsticks, they went to the ground to play in the courtyard.

Liu Li cleaned up the dining table, and sat on the kang with her grandmother and chatted.

"How the hell did I get here?" This question has always accompanied Lin Yue's growth, but from curiosity at the beginning, then to doubt, and finally to confirmation, there is finally an answer in my heart. Originally...... So!
