The Lin family in Xiaoqing Village.

Lin Hemai quietly glanced at the second uncle who was foaming at the mouth beside him, although his face was calm, his fingertips couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"This family business, whether you agree or not, it must be decided immediately!" Lin Changxi glanced at the weak girl in gray clothes domineeringly, straightened his chest, and brought out the majestic shelf of an elder, "No negotiable!" ”

Lin Hemai took a deep breath and said softly in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Second uncle, I just want to borrow a tael of silver to find a man for my grandmother, why did I talk about marriage?" My father has just passed away for more than a month, and this ......is unreasonable and unreasonable."

Lin Changxi frowned, and impatiently interrupted Lin Hemai's soft voice, "Your father entrusted you to me before leaving, and I naturally have to take care of everything for you!" Hemai, you don't have to worry about your grandmother's affairs, as long as you agree to this family business, the second uncle will immediately take out a tael of silver and find anything for your grandmother! ”

Lin Hemai's eyes were as quiet as water, if it weren't for the dying old lady lying at home, she would have to tear off Lin Changxi's face and see what it was made of, it could be so thick!

And Lin Changxi was half coercing and half coaxing, and his heart was already stable, this niece who had not seen anything in the world not long after returning to Xiaoqing Village would definitely agree to this family business!

All the chips are in his hands.

Lin Hemai took a deep breath, and a cold sweat broke out in his palms.

If it weren't for human life, no one would have forced her to marry a strange man, let alone ......

The man's Yang Liulang's family used to be a big family in Xiaoqing Village, but later the people in the family died one after another, leaving only Yang Liulang, who made a living from hunting.

This man was only in his twenties, but he had a full beard and a majestic body, but he never had much contact with the people in the village.

Lin Changxi originally held the luck that Yang Liulang would forget the marriage book, but who would have thought that a few days ago, Yang Liulang still found Li Zheng with the ancestral marriage book, and Li Zheng came forward and asked Lin Changxi to discuss the marriage with Yang Liulang......

Lin Hemai thought about this in his heart, his eyes were straight, and this appearance seemed to Lin Changxi that the six gods had no master and couldn't make up his mind, he was a little unbearable in his heart, but when he thought of the barren and miserable conditions of the man's family and his own daughter who was like a flower, he had to grit his teeth and said with an iron heart: "Hemai, you have to think about it!" With your debts alone, it is difficult to get married! Now that someone doesn't care about these and is willing to marry you, isn't that just to pay off the debt with you? You should be happy! ”

Lin Hemai's expressionless expression finally fluctuated slightly, she raised her eyes, and a soft and shallow lake heart was flooded with ripples of early spring.

Staring at Lin Changxi, his voice was also dyed with a slight frost-like chill.

"I'll marry."

Seven days later, the man's dowry was delivered.

Even with 100 meters, 100 sugar, three animals and wedding clothes, there are also gift money, eight taels and eight coins of silver.

The day of marriage is set on the tenth day of the next month, which is an auspicious day for marriage.

Coming out of the courtyard of the Lin family, Lin Hemai put eight taels of silver in her pocket along the way, thinking that she could buy some bricks and stones to take a simple rest in the small thatched hut where she and the old lady lived.

Seeing that it is almost early summer, if it is the rainy season, the small thatched hut leaks rain and grows moldy, but it is uninhabitable.

She walked from the back of the Lin family's courtyard, and there was a path in the forest that led directly to Xiaoqingshan, which not only saved time and effort, but also avoided running into those broken mouths from the village, and would inevitably be pointed out and discussed behind their backs.

She only brought back the gift money, and the three livestock, three animals and wedding clothes were still stored in the courtyard of the Lin family, and she called the brothers and sisters who went up to the mountain grass to pick it up during the day, and she could also buy some eggs with the mountain grass and so on......

Thinking like this, he soon arrived at the hut at the foot of the mountain.

In the courtyard, there was an old man standing who was dusting and sweeping the floor, He Mai's heart warmed, he smiled from the bottom of his heart, and shouted affectionately: "Grandma, I'm back!" ”

"Hemai is back!"

The old lady of the Lin family, the Qin family, is over the age of six, and her body bones were quite tough before.

After being kicked out of the house where she had lived for half her life by her son, she didn't shed a single tear, and she washed and cooked and cleaned up in the hut every day as usual, but who can she talk to about the anger and fire in her heart? The illness came like a mountain, and I lay in the house for more than half a month before I was relieved.

Qin put down the broom in his hand, dusted off the soil at the corner of his clothes, looked at the wheat that jumped over to hold her hand, and said lovingly, "Where are you going?" Hungry, right? Grandma guessed that you would come back soon, the pot was boiling water, and she was waiting for you to come back and make noodles! ”

He Mai wrapped his arms around Qin's hand and said softly, "Milk, why are you so powerful?" You can all guess I'm coming back! Didn't go anywhere, just went to the village for a walk! Gather some firewood, milk, how do you do your work? It is said that this spring breeze is biting, you don't get cold outside, go back to the house and rest. ”

"Yo, where am I so expensive? People are always lying down and getting used to problems, but when I come down for a walk, I can move my muscles and bones. ”

He Mai smiled and pushed the Qin clan into the house, "Then you have already done your work, and you have enough activities!" Come inside, I'm going to cook. ”

A few steps to the open-air stove, He Mai saw a hanging of buckwheat noodles rolled out on the board, the water in the pot has been boiled, He Mai shook the noodles, a piece of noodles of uniform thickness went down into the pot like a fish falling into the water, stuffed a few firewood into the stove, the fire was vigorous, the water boiling noodles in the pot boiled, He Mai scooped a bowl of cold water from the water tank on the side, and poured it into the pot.

When the water boils again, add cold water again, and in this way, put the soba noodles out and put them in a bowl, and then go to scoop the cold water town aside. The boiling water in the pot has been scooped out and splashed onto the loess surface.

On the side are diced cucumbers that have been cut, and the cubes are evenly and crystal green, each of which is just the size of a fingernail of a little finger.

There is a lonely round egg on the side, small and cute, but it can be regarded as the only meat meal that can be seen in the past few days.

Hemai carefully beat the eggs in the stoneware bowl, stirred, the pot has been boiled dry, Hemai poured some water into it, the seasoning at home is really scarce, and to buy daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, you need to go to the grocery store in Qinglu Village, five miles outside the village, if you want to buy some complete daily necessities, you have to wait until every month every five Qinghe Town to go to the market to buy.

He Mai has been in Xiaoqing Village for more than three months, but he has only been to the market in Qinghe Town once, or not long ago when the spring has just begun, he went with the mountain grass brothers and sisters in the village, the mountain grass brothers and sisters bought a lot of cloth, tea and salt, but He Mai can only use the twenty copper coins he brought to pinch a bag of salt back.
