Song Tingfan nodded obediently, picked his palm, and said timidly: "Sister-in-law, I'm not afraid, I'm afraid of my sister-in-law's reputation...... Great. ”

He heard it all, and the village often spoke ill of his sister-in-law.

Several men came knocking on their door in the middle of the night.

Lin Qiao looked like an elder, and said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law is not afraid, as long as our uncle grows up well, sister-in-law is not afraid of anything." ”

Looking at the young man's touched and guilty expression, she felt that she had played extraordinarily well this time.

Song Tingfan's eyes were red, he lowered his head, and said firmly: "Sister-in-law, I will support you." ”

Lin Qiao was very satisfied with his reaction, and half-jokingly said, "Okay, my sister-in-law will rely on you in the future." ”

Song Tingfan's eyes were slightly bent, "Sister-in-law, I didn't lie to you, I really want to support you." ”

"I know, I believe in Uncle."

Lin Qiao glanced at the sky, the sun had already risen above, and it was estimated that it would be hot after a while, and she said again: "Uncle, let's go quickly." ”

When I got home, it was already past noon, and Lin Qiao was so hot that she drank most of the water, and rested for a while before the heat subsided.

At this time, Song Tingfan was already rolling up his sleeves and cooking on the fire, and his movements were quick and skillful, obviously he was used to doing it.

But Lin Qiao knew that he would not do this until something bad happened to the Song family, and the Song family also planned to send him to study in the village school.

She remembered a dream in which she explained the scene of Song Tingfan playing with the children in the village.

Now that I think about it, does this count as a hint at the desire in the villain's heart?

Thinking of this, she rolled up her sleeves, "Uncle, you go out to play, I'll cook, and I'll call you when it's ready." ”

"Li Erwa came back just now, they moved crabs in the ditch, you can also go play."

Song Tingfan, who was burning the fire, paused for a moment, and quickly hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, I can burn the fire." ”

My sister-in-law often said that he didn't know anything and caused trouble to the family every day.

He also didn't want to cause trouble to his family, and he didn't want to cause trouble to his sister-in-law.

His sensitivity made Lin Qiao really feel a little distressed, and the child who was only twelve years old lived carefully.

At this moment, she saw her own shadow.

Her expression was a little more real than before, "I know that Uncle is very capable. ”

"But my sister-in-law wants you to go out and play, well, I want to eat crabs too."

Song Tingfan, who was praised, his eyes lit up, "Sister-in-law, do you want to eat crabs?" I'm going to catch it. ”

This is the first time his sister-in-law has asked him.

"Be careful." Lin Qiao watched him run out happily before starting to cook.

The rice was steamed, only to find that there were no greens.

She suddenly thought of going up the hill and seeing the folded ear root on the edge of the field, which is the houttuynia cordata here.

She mixed some more people in the pot, and after glancing at the stove to make sure that nothing was going to happen, she took the hoe and the basket and went out.

This will not be a famine era, even if Xingyu Village is relatively poor, but it will not dig Houttuynia cordata to eat, only a few times to eat fresh.

Many people saw Lin Qiao digging Houttuynia cordata and standing next to watch the excitement, and the countrymen didn't have any other fun, so they liked to watch the excitement.

Suddenly, a family passed by with a hoe, and everyone was more energetic to see the excitement, and a woman took the initiative to greet the group of people and said, "Old man Zhang, go home for dinner?" ”

"It's going to be this time, what can you do without eating."

Old man Zhang glanced at Lin Qiao with disgust, and he still heard what happened to his grandson.

I don't know the face.

Zhang Dong saw Lin Qiao's eyes light up, and before he could say anything, his mother grabbed him in the ground and signaled him to settle down.

Lin Qiao was not familiar with the Zhang family at all, and he didn't go to see them, and bent down to pick up Houttuynia cordata.

Probably because the land here is fertile and the weather is so hot, Houttuynia cordata still grows very well, but the leaves are gone.

When everyone saw her, they didn't look at the Zhang family, and their hearts were lightened when they saw the excitement, and they soon saw her leaving with the basket on her back.

As soon as she left, everyone was even less lively, they dispersed, the Zhang family walked behind, Zhang Dong's mother Zhang Qinshi warned Zhang Dong, "Ugly words are ahead, our family will never allow her to enter the door, and if she has a broken shoe, you can see it." ”

"Mother, she is still a yellow flower girl." Zhang Dong explained.

Zhang Dong's mother slapped him and scolded in a low voice, "What do you know, your eyes are smeared with?" Well? I didn't see the men in the village coming up to her door every once in a while. ”

"There are also widowed sisters-in-law and lonely uncles, who don't do anything at night in the dark, and the ghost believes it."

"Your mind quickly reined in for me, and when the time comes, don't cry with your family."

Without waiting for Zhang Dong to answer, she said again: "When the farming is over, I will show you the others." ”

Zhang Dong wanted to refute but didn't dare to talk back.

Lin Qiao in their mouths, this will have already arrived home, and as soon as they entered the door, they heard a voice, "Sister-in-law." ”

Immediately afterwards, I saw Song Tingfan standing barefoot in the courtyard looking at her, his eyes were slightly red.

"What's wrong? Bullied? Lin Qiao put down the basket and walked over, and said, "Who bullied you?" ”

Song Tingfan just forgot to bring the barrel, and when he came back, he found that she was gone, thinking of the abnormality of the past few days, his first instinct was that his sister-in-law didn't want her anymore, and his sister-in-law left.

He shook his head, "No, I'll go home and get the bucket." ”

He glanced at the back basket and said, "Sister-in-law, are you going to dig Houttuynia cordata?" ”

"That's right, there is no vegetable at home, uncle, after tomorrow, we will open up the wasteland behind us to grow some vegetables to eat." Lin Qiao has been thinking about her livelihood for the past few days, and it is impossible to farm in the countryside.

Fortunately, the wasteland reclamation in Xingyu Village does not require money, and only half a tael of silver is required when the land deed is issued.

Hearing the reclamation of wasteland, Song Tingfan was stunned for a moment, and soon he nodded, "Okay." ”

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to the ditch."

"Okay."

When he left, Lin Qiao went into the kitchen to look at the pot, and then sat on the stool to sort out the houttuynia cordata, the roots were difficult to manage, and a small handful of them were sorted out for a quarter of an hour.

After the cold mix, she slaughtered a small half of the rabbit meat and choked it with dried chilies, and when she was done, it was already two minutes later.

As soon as it was brought to the table, Song Tingfan came back with a bucket in stride, he was sweating profusely, and said happily: "Sister-in-law, I caught a lot of crabs." He said and showed her the bucket diagonally.

There are about a dozen of them.

"Uncle, you are so capable." Lin Qiao didn't just coax him when he said this, Song Tingfan was indeed very capable.

Song Tingfan was praised and picked his head embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, I'll go get it out, and I heard Grandpa Wei say that it's the best when it's fried." ”

"Uncle, don't get it yet, keep it for the night." Lin Qiao swept his forehead, went to the kitchen and gave him a handkerchief, and said, "Wipe it and eat." ”

This meal is the fullest meal the two of them have eaten recently.

Song Tingfan took the initiative to wash the dishes, and then took the bow and arrow and prepared to go up the mountain, seeing this, Lin Qiao hurriedly called out to him, "Uncle, I'll follow you all the way." ”

In the current situation of the family, the first thing is to make a living, otherwise in the cold winter, relying on the pitiful savings of the family, it is estimated that they will starve to death.

Song Tingfan hunting can also give his family more income.

"Sister-in-law, it's dangerous in the mountains." Song Tingfan's handsome face refused very seriously.

Lin Qiao picked up the basket and said without thinking: "You are only a child in danger, and my sister-in-law will be with you all the way." ”

Hearing the word "child", Song Tingfan glanced at her, "Sister-in-law, I'm not a child." ”

He bit his lip, "I'm a man. ”
