Lin Qiang said: "Why didn't you pick it up?" If we didn't pick it up, how would we get three meals a day? You can't eat raw, can you? ”

A trace of collapse flashed in Lin Weimin's eyes: "Since you go up the mountain to collect firewood every day, let's pick up a little more, at least boil some hot water to drink in winter, you drink cold water every day." ”

"Uh-huh." Lin Qiang and Lin Hong replied in unison.

Lin Weimin was speechless again, and deliberately looked at Lin Hong twice.

Lin Hong is not young, she is already fifteen years old, others don't want to pick up more firewood, she has to pick up more firewood, such a big girl, she must drink hot water in winter, otherwise it will have a great impact on her body.

But she was too lazy to pick up more firewood, and she really didn't know how she spent her days every month drinking cold water!

Lin Weimin sighed helplessly and changed the subject: "What price are your chickens, ducks and pigs selling, give me the money from the sale." ”

Lin Qiang and Lin Hong all stood up, and after a while, Lin Qiang whispered: "All the money from the sale is New Year's goods." ”

Lin Weimin nodded with satisfaction: "What New Year's goods have you had, tell me." ”

"There are yuba, kelp, vermicelli, meat, sugar, etc." Lin Qiang said vaguely.

"The meat has already been bought, your own cured bacon?" Generally, fresh meat is bought on the 29th day of the lunar month or the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the meat bought before is used to make bacon.

Lin Weimin was a little puzzled: "I haven't seen a single piece of bacon hanging anywhere in our house since I entered the yard." ”

Lin Qiang swallowed: "Meat...... Already eaten. ”

"Already eaten?!" Lin Weimin was a little shocked and a little angry, "You ate the meat early, so what did you eat during the New Year?" ”

Lin Qiang and Lin Hong both lowered their heads and remained silent.

Lin Weimin took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart: "Then I'll buy ten catties of meat tomorrow and come back for the New Year." ”

When it was time to make lunch at noon, Lin Weimin said to Lin Hong: "Call your sister to cook lunch together, such a big girl, and squatting on the ground with her brother to play with stones, like words!" ”

Lin Hong whispered, and when she walked out of the hall, her voice became louder: "Xiaoyan, why are you still playing, help me cook!" ”

Boss Lin Yan reluctantly threw down the stone in his hand, stood up and followed Lin Hong into the kitchen.

It didn't take half an hour for lunch, and to Lin Weimin's surprise, there was only food and no vegetables.

Lin Weimin asked: "Why don't you fry two dishes?" ”

Lin Yan and the few little ones were all accustomed to eating white rice, and said without holding back their mouths: "The little slut has run away, and no one grows the vegetable field at home, of course we have no vegetables to eat!" ”

Listening to several nieces and nephews calling their daughters "little sluts" in front of him, Lin Weimin flashed a few traces of anger in his heart, but he was quickly suppressed.

Xiaoru's sisters and brothers sent Lin Hong, their parents and sisters to prison, leaving them helpless, and it is understandable that they hate Xiaoru.

Lin Weimin said with a straight face: "Why are you waiting for Xiaoru to do everything for you, you all have broken hands and feet!" ”

Lin Qiang and Lin Hong were silent, and the three younger nephews blurted out: "Grandma said, Xiaoru eats and drinks for nothing in our house, she shouldn't do these jobs!" ”

Lin Weiguo was so angry that he didn't speak for a long time, he obviously sent twenty yuan back every month.

In the countryside, twenty yuan is barely enough for the living expenses of the younger sisters and brothers, and Mrs. Lin actually said that they eat and drink for nothing!

After lunch, Lin Weimin asked Lin Hong where the soybeans at home were.

In rural areas, every year when the soybean harvest is abundant, every household will leave a lot of soybeans, grind tofu to make soy products to eat during the New Year, save money to buy, and use soybeans to make soybean paste instead of soy sauce.

Lin Hong snorted for a long time before she said in a small voice like a mosquito: "Soybeans...... It's been eaten up. ”

Lin Weimin was surprised: "You can grind tofu to make soy products?" ”

I thought, these nephews and nieces are a little lazy, but their brains are good, look at how adults grind tofu and make soy products, they have all learned!

Lin Hong shook her head gently: "It's not ground into tofu, it's just fried and eaten as a snack." ”

Lin Weimin didn't know what to say, and suddenly became alert: "What about the peanuts and sunflower seeds at home?" ”

Lin Hong lowered her head low: "I've already eaten it all too soon~"

Lin Weimin couldn't help but be angry anymore: "Why are you so greedy, you have eaten all the things, what are you going to eat for the New Year!" ”

Lin Hong and the others all lowered their heads and didn't talk back, but they secretly pouted in their hearts, came back empty-handed, didn't bring anything to them, and were embarrassed to teach them a lesson! The face is so big!

Early the next morning, Lin Weimin went to the market at the foot of the mountain and bought ten catties of meat and one catty of pork liver, two large grass carps and some vegetables.

If you don't buy a little fish for the New Year, how will you spend this year?

Lin Qiang's group of children cheered when they saw those fish and meat, and then they all became intimate with Lin Weimin, and they all ignored him yesterday.

Lin Weimin killed the two big fish, cooked a hot pot with fish offal at noon, and then took a group of children to start preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The Lin family has had a shabby year this year, three bowls of meat, two bowls of fish, a few green vegetables, nothing, and the Chinese New Year's Eve rice of previous years can not be compared at all, in previous years, chicken, duck and fish, everything is complete, and there are more than a dozen bowls of dishes, which is like now there are only eight bowls of dishes, and three bowls of dishes are greens!

Lin Hong's cooking skills are not too good, Lin Weimin had to take charge of the spoon, make a dish Lin Qiang served outside, and when all eight dishes were ready, Lin Weimin came to the hall to prepare to sit down and eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with the children.

But the eight dishes on the table had already been eaten, and only a little soup remained.

Lin Weimin was very panicked in his heart, but he couldn't scold Lin Hong and them during the New Year, so he had to serve the rice and plan to deal with the kimchi soup for a meal.

But he didn't even grab the soup, and the children rushed into the kitchen, each filled a large bowl of rice for himself, and then rushed to the hall to pour the soup into his bowl.

Lin Weimin held a bowl of white rice, looked at the group of selfish children in front of him, sighed, and ate the white rice.

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Lin Weimin was tired and asked Xiaohong to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

He didn't want to keep the New Year, so he went into the room where Xiaoru's sister and brother used to live, and slept on a hard bed with his bed.

There was the sound of Lin Hong and them arguing over washing dishes in the hall, and Lin Weimin covered his head with the quilt irritably, not wanting to pay attention to it.

…………

When I went to bed last night, Xiaoru deliberately sent a basin of noodles, and now it is ready.

She let the little one chop some minced meat, add shallots and ginger, wrapped the buns, and the brothers and sisters ate them and went shopping together.

Everywhere there were people carrying gifts, wearing new clothes, smiling faces, and visiting relatives.

Xiaoru brother and sister went to Zhongshan Park to play all morning, when they came out, there were many small vendors selling small snacks and small toys at the entrance of Zhongshan Park.
