Lin Yue comforted: "Dad, you don't have to feel distressed, this money will be earned back soon, let's go home first." ”

Lin Dalang nodded, moved the barrel and the small table to the ox cart, and then drove home.

On the way home, I happened to meet Lin Erlang and Old Man Lin walking towards the town with herbs on their backs.

A passer-by pointed to Lin Dalang on the ox cart in front of him and said in surprise: "Old man Lin, isn't this your eldest son?" Your eldest son is promising, and he even has an ox cart. ”

When Old Man Lin and Lin Erlang heard this, they saw that the person on the ox cart in front of them was really Lin Dalang, and even Lin Yue was there, so they didn't think they were wrong.

The two stepped forward to stand on the road of the ox cart, and Lin Dalang saw his father and younger brother at this time.

He hurriedly stopped the ox cart and shouted, "Father, brother." ”

Lin Yue thought to herself, this road is too small, and this can be encountered.

Old man Lin looked at the ox cart, and a wave of envy and longing flashed in his cloudy eyes.

"Da Lang, this ox cart is not cheap, where did you get so much money to buy this?"

Lin Erlang also looked at him inquiringly, isn't this no longer a job to make a living, how can he still spend such a big sum, you must know that even if they can earn tens or hundreds of dollars a day, they are reluctant to buy this thing.

Lin Yue looked at the two relatives with glowing eyes, and replied: "Dad has injured his body by chopping wood all these years, so he has to spend this money." ”

Lin Dalang heard Lin Yue say this, so he didn't say anything more, anyway, Yue'er was all for the good of this family.

Lin Erlang noticed the wooden barrels, tables and other objects on the ox cart, and he asked, "What is the eldest brother doing?" Why do you still have furniture with you? ”

"It's nothing, it's just to sell something." Lin Dalang said sincerely.

As soon as he heard that Lin Erlang was selling things, he thought that he was selling herbs again, his eyes moved, and he said tentatively: "Big brother, what are you going to sell?" Do you know any more remedies? ”

Lin Yue didn't interject, many times others told her parents that she could help talk when they quarreled, and if she helped answer everything when chatting usually, it wouldn't be good.

Anyway, there is no secret recipe for juice, it's just a little tired, and the people in the town have discovered the business opportunities in it, and they may also sell juice, so it doesn't matter if Lin Erlang and them know.

On the contrary, if they don't say it, they will feel that it is very valuable and they will be honest.

Let's take this opportunity to see what my father says, and whether he will dig out his heart and lungs for them.

Lin Dalang saw that Lin Yue didn't say anything, and he understood that there was nothing to hide.

He replied: "It's not selling medicine, we're not doctors, and others can't believe us when we sell medicine." ”

Mrs. Lin asked, "Then what are you selling, don't plan to chop wood?" ”

"I was too tired from chopping wood, so I switched to selling watermelon juice." Lin Dalang replied.

When Lin Erlang heard this, he was not selling medicine or watermelon juice, and frowned: "Watermelon juice? Is it watermelon juice? Will anyone buy this thing? ”

Old man Lin also nodded and agreed: "That's it, who can't grow watermelons by themselves to eat, and still spend money to buy this, it's better to buy a bowl of tea to drink." ”

Their thoughts are the same as Lin Dalang's previous thoughts, this is the limitation of thinking.

They misunderstood, and Lin Dalang didn't defend himself, if they didn't work, he might tell the truth and take them to make money together.

Lin Dalang smiled and said honestly: "I'm just going to try it, after all, I don't know what to do." ”

Old man Lin and Lin Erlang were also a little disappointed when they heard this answer, they thought that Lin Dalang had a new way to make money.

Lin Yue saw that Lin Dalang didn't tell her everything, and she was very satisfied, it was not in vain that she wasted so much thought, her father finally opened up, and no longer poured out her heart and lungs for these white-eyed wolves.

"Since you want to do it, let's do it." Old man Lin said.

"Yes, Dad."

Seeing that Lin Dalang was leaving, Old Man Lin moved his eyes and said: "Dalang, there is still a distance from the town here, since you bought an ox cart, you might as well send us to the town, this herb is quite tiring to carry on your back." ”

Old man Lin, they are Lin Dalang's relatives, this little favor, Lin Dalang naturally will not refuse.

He promised, "Okay, then I'll give you a ride." ”

They were going to see Su Wen, but Lin Yue didn't dare to see him, what if he was recognized by Su Wen.

She hurriedly pretended to be sensible and said, "Dad, I'll be home soon, then I'll walk home by myself, you can send grandpa and second uncle to the town." ”

Lin Dalang saw that the ox cart couldn't fit too many people, so he said, "Okay, you go back first, I'll be back later." ”

Lin Yue watched Lin Dalang go away, and felt a little depressed in her heart, it is really troublesome to have this kind of relative, it is estimated that they will have to find their father to borrow an ox cart in the future, it is really troublesome.

With them, I really didn't dare to buy anything, for fear that they would be red and come to the door to ask for money.

Then she thought again, you can't let your quality of life deteriorate because of others, they love shamelessness and ask for money, let them be shameless.

Thinking like this, she won't be depressed.

After walking for a while, she arrived home, and when she got home, she saw Li Rong and Lin Yang squeezing watermelon juice in the yard with the things that rural people smashed into glutinous rice.

Lin Yue boasted: "Mother, you are so smart, you actually thought of smashing it with this." ”

Li Rong smiled embarrassedly, and she asked, "By the way, what about your father, why didn't your father come back with you." ”

"Dad met grandpa on the road and they sent herbs, so I went to help, mother, you take me to the cellar first, let's refrigerate these watermelon juices and those fruits, so that it is not easy to spoil."

"Oh, okay." Li Rong stopped the work in her hand.

The cellar was not very far from the house, just at the back of the house, and Li Rong opened the wooden plank that was hidden on the ground, revealing a black hole.

Lin Yang looked at the dark hole and said with some fear: "Sister, it's too dark inside, Yang Yang is afraid." ”

Lin Yue comforted softly: "Yangyang is not afraid, Yangyang, you don't have to go down, can you help us deliver things above?" ”

As soon as he heard that he didn't need to go down, he could help, so Lin Yang agreed.

There were ladders made of wooden sticks at the entrance of the cave, and Lin Yue followed Li Rong down.

After going down the stairs, Li Rong took out the fire fold and lit the oil lamp in the hole, and then saw a space of dozens of square meters, in which a lot of things were piled up.

Lin Yue couldn't help but ask, "Mother, Dad said that there are ice cubes in the cellar, where is it?" ”

Li Rong was puzzled: "Why are you asking this?" ”

"I want to chill the watermelon juice so that it tastes good and the fruit can be stored a little longer."

"Well, let's move the things down first, and then I'll take you there."

"Okay."

After a long time of work, Li Rong opened another wooden board in the shade, and there was a hole underneath.

Li Rong said: "There is an ice cellar below, and there are some bacon frozen here, which are all taken out and eaten after the Chinese New Year." ”
