Chapter 017 Beaten
Several villagers felt that Xiaoru's grandparents were too frustrated, and they were reluctant to give sweet potatoes to Xiaoru's sister and brother!
No wonder the two sisters and brothers are thin and small, especially Xiaoru, who is already a seventeen-year-old girl, it is said that her parents are tall, she will not be short, but she is not tall, not hungry!
The villagers sighed sympathetically and walked away.
Anyway, there is dry food and salt shakers, so Xiao Ru hid in the shade of the wild and didn't go home with Xiao Jian.
When I went back, I wasn't forced to do farm work for the Lin family!
Don't say that she doesn't know how to do farm work at all, even if she can do it, she won't do it for the Lin family!
If you can't even eat a mouthful of white rice as a cow or a horse, you'll be a fart in your mouth.
Xiao Jian is rare to be so idle as today, although he is only a few years old, but no one in the Lin family let him go, let him go up the mountain to pick up dry branches as firewood when the farm is busy, although he can't do any work, but he can go to the field to pick up peanuts, wheat, rice or something left after the harvest, and he can also pick up two or three catties a day.
Just rummaging under the sun to find the lost peanuts, ears of wheat and other things is a whole day, and it is very hard for a child of a few years old.
Although the rural people are poor and raise their children very roughly, since the fields have been contracted to the households, basically no family will drive their four-year-old children to work in the fields, and it can only be said that no one in the Lin family treats Xiaoru sisters and brothers as people.
Xiao Jian caught the dragonfly butterfly for a while and got tired of playing, and fell asleep next to Xiao Ru.
Xiao Ru also lay on the dense and fragrant grass, looking at the blue sky with his eyes and thinking about his future plans.
She personally sent the Lin family to the police station to learn a lesson, and Osmanthus is likely to be in a prison cell, and the Lin family will definitely say that they will not leave her sister and brother to live in the Lin family.
Now the reason why Lin Laohan and his wife did not immediately drive her sister and brother out of the house must be waiting for Lin Weiguo and others to be released from the police station to discuss before making a decision.
It's just a few days of work.
Xiao Ru thought that if her sisters and brothers were really kicked out of the house by the Lin family, they wouldn't even have a place to live.
My sister is not doing well in her mother-in-law's house, and it is difficult for the mud bodhisattva to cross the river to protect herself, and they don't even have anyone to take refuge in.
While Lin Weiguo and the others have not been released from the police station, hurry up and earn two dollars, otherwise not to mention that there is no place to live, even eating will be a problem.
But how to make money has become a big problem, and it is in front of Xiaoru.
That time I went to Qingshan Town Middle School, someone wanted to buy her eggs, but I only had the few dollars I snatched from Lin Qiang in my pocket, how many eggs could I receive?
Even if you have the money to buy eggs, Qingshan Town is not a rural area? Eggs can't afford to sell at a price there, otherwise someone would have flocked to Qingshan Town to sell eggs, and she would have been waiting for her to make a fortune!
The road of selling eggs will definitely not work, so it is better to do other small business.
But no matter how small the business is, it has to be capital, and the seven yuan in her hand can't afford it.
Although the 80s was an era full of opportunities, it was not enough to be bold, but also to have capital, and it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
Xiaoru is stuck on no capital.
Went to pick wolfberries and sold them for money? Goji berries are difficult to pick, and they have to be dried, and then sent to the county traditional Chinese medicine acquisition station to be sold, and it is absolutely impossible to make a penny by selling wolfberries in five days.
Xiao Ru thought about it, or take Xiao Jian to the peanut field to pick up the peanuts that were missing from other people's fields, if she and Xiao Jian can pick up five or six catties a day, there will be more than a dozen catties in three or four days, and make saltwater peanuts and sell them at the door of the movie theater in the county, even if a pack is sold for two cents, more than a dozen catties of peanuts can be divided into thirty packs, and there will be six yuan in the account, at least when the Lin family is kicked out, the food money will be settled.
As for the road after that, we can only take one step at a time.
Xiao Ru slapped Xiao Jian's buttocks, woke him up, and asked him to follow him to pick up peanuts in the peanut field.
Although she was also very distressed about letting such a young child work in the sun, but now this situation could not tolerate her distress.
When the two sisters and brothers slipped back to Lin's house to get the basket, Lin Laohan and his wife had already been released from the room by Lin Li to work in the fields.
The strong laborers of the Lin family are now squatting at the police station, and no one has an autumn harvest, so the old man and his family have to go to the autumn harvest even if they earn their lives, in case of a rain, the crops in the field will be all wasted.
Lin Li was the only one at home, and when she saw Xiaoru's sister and brother coming back, she scolded Xiaoru for not being filial and not helping Tian Laohan and his family to work.
Xiaoru said through the window: "You are filial, why didn't you give your grandparents to work and lie at home?" ”
Lin Li said confidently: "Didn't I get injured by you?" The wound hurts when you move, how can you work? ”
Xiao Ru went around to the door and kicked it with her foot, but the door was actually hidden, and she kicked it open.
Lin Li looked at her in horror and stammered, "You...... What are you going to do? ”
Xiaoru rushed over and gave her a few big slaps: "What are you doing?" Slap you, slap your mouth, and make you speechless! ”
Then ignoring Lin Li's crying, he took a big basket and took Xiao Jian to pick peanuts in the peanut field.
In the countryside, any child in a field where crops have been harvested can pick up the crops left behind by the owner's family.
However, now the field has been contracted to the household for several years, and the conditions of every household have been greatly improved, and basically there are no children to pick up those few catties of lost crops in other people's fields, so Xiaoru sister and brother go to the field to pick peanuts and have no children to compete with them.
One day after picking it up, the two sisters and brothers actually picked up eight or nine catties of peanuts! It was dark, Xiao Ru and Xiao Jian sent peanuts to Dayong's house together, poured them in the corner of his house, and then took two flatbreads that she and Xiao Jian ate one by one.
Dayong's mother is not in good health, she has to drink medicine all year round, she can't do heavy work, she can only cook, feed pigs and chickens and do some housework, but she is very kind, and said to Xiaoru and her sisters: "Don't be busy walking after you finish eating, drink a bowl of vegetable soup with me and then leave." ”
So the two sisters and brothers stayed, drank a bowl of vegetable soup, and walked home by moonlight.
Before I walked to the courtyard of the Lin family, I heard Lin Li's pig-like cry and Mrs. Lin's angry scolding from inside: "Lazy, gluttonous and unproductive things, you refused to go to the fields to work, saying that you were afraid that the injuries on your body would be embarrassed by the villagers, so you were stuck at home."
If you have to stay at home, your grandfather and I won't say anything about you, we two old people are out making cows and horses, and you're good, you don't even cook at home, and I have to cook and serve you to eat! If you don't kill you, you will still keep it for the New Year! ”
A few villagers who were squatting under the big tree to eat shook their heads when they heard this: "What kind of girl is this, it's a waste of rice!" ”
Xiao Ru listened to the slight upturn of the corners of her mouth, Mrs. Lin beat her well, and she completely covered up her beating Lin Li.
