At this time, Lin Yongfen and Lin Yonghong also asked Mrs. Lin for candy and snacks.

Mrs. Lin took the anger in her heart out on them: "You are all raising cheap children, isn't it a waste to eat such a good snack!" ”

"Yo! The third sister is your girl, we are all outsiders, and when you die in the future, don't expect us to wear linen and filial piety! Lin Yonghong said angrily.

"That's it, no wonder even outsiders say that mom is eccentric!" Lin Yongfen said indignantly.

Mother Lin made a concession: "Then when you leave, you will bring some snacks and sweets." Then he said, "I went to cook, and I ate all the meat, and then I left." ”

Lin Yongfang heard the conversation in the house clearly at the gate of the courtyard, she took a deep breath, and even quickened her pace, and soon, she couldn't hear the sound of talking from the house, and her mood was only slightly better, she walked to the stream not far away, squatted down and drank water with her hands, on a hot day, she was easy to get thirsty, and her throat was already smoking.

Lin Yongfang's heart was sour, and as soon as he got up, he heard someone behind him: "Auntie, why don't you go back to your parents' house to drink water at home, and go outside to drink raw water?" ”

Lin Yongfang turned around, it was Uncle Shen who he met when he came, he smiled reluctantly, and changed the topic: "Uncle Shen's house is going!" ”

"Well, you go back."

"yes." Lin Yongfang didn't want to say more, and walked towards the entrance of the village, she was afraid of facing the pitying eyes of others.

Li Chunhua came back from his own plot and looked in the direction of the road, Yang Guihua and several other women from the same village saw it and said with a smile: "Yo! Aunt Li is waiting for Brother Cheng'an, by the way, today is the beginning of the month, you are waiting for Brother Cheng'an's salary, you may be disappointed, I heard that Brother Cheng'an's salary has been handed over to his daughter-in-law, you can no longer eat meat Luo once a week! ”

"Nonsense!" Li Chunhua looked angry: "If my son's money is not handed over, I will give it to his daughter-in-law!" Do you think that we are like your sons, who married a daughter-in-law and forgot their mother! ”

"What nonsense?" A villager looked at Li Chunhua sarcastically, "Your second daughter-in-law just repaid the more than 100 yuan I lent her in the morning!" ”

Li Chunhua's momentum suddenly weakened, and no one would lie to her with this kind of thing.

Yang Guihua mended the knife: "Look, aren't those the two granddaughters Duoduo and Aiyun that you regard as thorns in the flesh in your eyes?" See, they are all wearing new clothes, if their father doesn't give money, how can they have new clothes to wear! ”

Li Chunhua turned his head to take a look, and saw Duo Duo Aiyun Tao Ai's three brothers and sisters walking home talking and laughing, Duo Duo and Aiyun were really wearing new clothes, especially Aiyun was dressed more beautiful than the girls in the city, her face suddenly became gloomy, and she walked home angrily.

Yang Guihua and several women watched her eat deflated, and laughed later.

The Duoduo brothers and sisters walked outside the yard when they smelled the aroma of braised pork coming from their house, Duoduo inhaled hard, and looked intoxicated: "Ah! It smells so good! Walked quickly into the yard, ran to the kitchen, and saw Lin Yongfang busy in the kitchen, taking the marinated pork head out of the pot.

When Lin Yongfang saw her, he smiled lovingly and said, "Do you want to eat?" Saying that, she cut a small piece with a kitchen knife and gave it to her, Duoduo saw that it was too greasy, and hurriedly pretended to be obedient: "I just want to smell it, I don't want to eat it, so leave it for my father to eat." Then he joked, "Mom must be looking forward to Dad coming back, and they have all changed into new clothes." ”

Lin Yongfang was a little embarrassed when his heart was seen through by his own children: "As far as you talk a lot, have you sold any of the clothes you took?" ”

Aiyun and Tao Aijia also walked in, and Aiyun shouted excitedly: "Sister is so good, she sold all the clothes she brought!" ”

Lin Yongfang was surprised: "Really! I didn't expect Duoduo to be so powerful! As he spoke, he gave the braised pork that he didn't want to Aijia, and cut it for Aiyun to be bigger and bigger.

Tao Aijia gave his piece to Duoduo, and Duoduo turned his face away in disgust: "I just don't want to eat it, my mother gave it to you, you give it back to me!" ”

Tao Aijia ate it while it was hot: "I remember that you love to eat braised pork the most, our family used to be poor, and we couldn't afford braised meat, and when it came to the New Year, you would lie under the window of someone else's kitchen, smelling the fragrance of braised meat, why don't you want to eat it today?" ”

Duoduo's eyes were a little wet when she heard this, and the original owner was too pitiful!

"Forehead, it's too hot!" Duoduo pulled a reason.

"Sister is reluctant, come, I'll share the food with my sister." Aiyun said, tearing a piece of pigskin from the pig's head in his hand and giving it to her.

Duoduo fiercely said that she would not eat it, but Aiyun did not insist on giving it to her.

Duoduo said to Lin Yongfang: "I sold these clothes for more than 200 yuan today, and I gave my mother 100 yuan to keep." ”

Lin Yongfang said with a smile: "You are the money you got from selling your own clothes, don't pay this money to the public, you can buy whatever you want to buy if you keep it, anyway, our family is already poor like this, your hundred yuan is like a drop of water in the sea without any movement, it is better to keep it for yourself." Duoduo didn't really want to give it, because she knew that even if the 100 yuan was handed over to her mother, there would be very little or no part of the family in the end, so she didn't insist anymore.

Tao Aijia took out the money from selling eggs from his body, eight cents for an egg, a total of one hundred and thirty-five eggs, that is, nine yuan and one dime, but Lin Yongfang counted it several times, and it was ten yuan, three cents and nine cents, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Why is there an extra piece of two cents and nine cents?" ”

Tao Aijia replied: "Today, in addition to giving five eggs to an aunt, one egg was sold for nine cents, which was originally an extra piece of three cents, and it took a penny to buy candy for my sister." ”

Lin Yongfang said happily: "You guys are good, they sell higher than your mother!" He put the money in his trouser pocket.

Tao Aijia took out three packets of brown sugar from the basket of eggs and showed them to Lin Yongfang: "This is the brown sugar that Duoduo bought for my mother, and my mother remembers to make a cup of brown sugar water to drink every day." ”

Lin Yongfang glanced sideways: "If you have money, use it blindly, mom is good, what kind of brown sugar water to drink?" Don't spend money in the future! ”

Liu Cuihua and Tao Aiguo bought a pig baby and were going to give Liu Cuihua's nephew a full moon gift when they returned home and put down their things, and went to cut grass for a few sheep, at this time the husband and wife came back with grass on their backs, and when they passed the kitchen, they heard the conversation between Lin Yongfang's mother and son, and Liu Cuihua shouted outside: "Mom, I also bought you a packet of brown sugar." ”

Lin Yongfang was so excited that she didn't know what to do, since the two daughters-in-law married into the family, no one has ever been filial to her, let alone buying her something, but now the eldest daughter-in-law bought her a packet of brown sugar! Brown sugar is generally a tonic for the sick and pregnant women in rural areas, or a good product for honoring the elderly, which is very important.

Lin Yongfang wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and said, "You can either take it back to your mother to drink, she is older than me and it is better to drink brown sugar, or you can leave it for yourself to drink, you are greedy for darkness in the morning, you also work hard." ”
