Today is Sunday, and Mr. Lin, who has been busy for a week, finally got free, sat on the long bench in the village school, and chatted with Aunt Li while eating canned pineapple.

Outside the courtyard wall of the village school, Li Dahe was writing slogans with his mouth.

"Oh yes, I'll leave it here...... What are you shaking with your hands, be steady, horizontally and vertically—"

Wang Dong, who was accused of making the group turn around, felt that something was wrong with him, and suggested: "Captain, why don't you write one?" ”

Li Dahe glared: "If I'm capable, do I still need to watch you grind?" ”

In the courtyard, Aunt Li rolled her eyes directly and complained to Lin Nianhe: "Your uncle just doesn't act by himself, and asks for the thief to be returned, and sooner or later he will have to be kicked in a sack." ”

Lin Nianhe bit the pineapple and giggled.

She saw that the stitches on the soles of Aunt Li's shoes were particularly dense, so she asked, "Aunt Li, won't we have nothing to do after the autumn harvest?" ”

"There's nothing to do," Aunt Li said, "After grinding bud rice noodles, accumulating sauerkraut, and going up the mountain to chop firewood, you have to have enough for the whole winter, otherwise the snow will close the mountain, and there will be nowhere to get it." ”

Lin Nianhe pondered and asked, "After all these are done, it will be November, right?" ”

"Almost, it's too early to chop wood, who knows when it will snow." Aunt Li spoke, and the movements in her hands were not delayed at all.

Lin Nianhe drank canned water, and his head turned quickly.

In other words, in winter, the farm has to work for three or four months, and can do a lot of things.

She dialed the abacus in her heart, and after dialing for a while, she heard Li Dahe call her: "Lin girl, someone is looking for you!" ”

Lin Nianhe said "hey", said hello to Aunt Li, and ran out with her canned food bottle.

She thought it was Su Yuncheng or Xie Yufei, and even Sister-in-law Zhou thought of it, but when she saw someone coming, she was still shocked for a moment.

Zheng Lirong took Zheng Shan and Bai Xiaojun to stand at the gate of the village, and the mother and the girl had a tired look on their faces.

Zheng Lirong only carried a small burden, and she couldn't hold anything when she saw it.

Seeing Lin Nianhe come out, a touch of embarrassment flashed on Zheng Lirong's face, she looked at Lin Nianhe, and only shouted softly after a while: "Sister." ”

Lin Nianhe came back to his senses and hurriedly greeted: "Sister Lirong, you are here." ”

Li Dahe glanced at them and saw that it was a female comrade who came to find Lin Nianhe, so he didn't think much about it, and continued to command Wang Dong to work.

Lin Nianhe said, "Sister, go and sit with me for a while." ”

"Okay."

Zheng Lirong took the two children and walked behind Lin Nianhe in silence.

Lin Nianhe took them back to the Zhiqing Point, poured water first, and then opened a can for the two children to share, and then made a fire to cook.

Zheng Lirong sat in the courtyard, silent, and never spoke.

Lin Nianhe cooked noodles, made egg sauce, and mixed a shredded cucumber.

Lunch was very silent, and the two little ones had just arrived, but they didn't seem to have any curiosity at all, but they just ate with their heads down, and they didn't even make a sound.

Zheng Lirong was also a little unable to swallow, and stopped her chopsticks several times to look at Lin Nianhe, but when she saw that she was eating attentively, she stopped talking.

Zheng Lirong pondered, Lin Nianhe was refusing like this.

Her heart was heavier, and she couldn't eat it anymore.

The two children ate slowly, and Lin Nianhe waited for them to put down their chopsticks, and then said, "Shall I show you the villain book?" ”

Zheng Shan lowered her head, grabbed the corner of her clothes and did not speak.

Bai Xiaojun looked at Lin Nianhe, but only glanced at it, then lowered his head again, and timidly did not speak.

Zheng Lirong frowned: "What's the matter with you two?" Speak. ”

"It's okay, it's okay," Lin Nianhe hurriedly said, "The child has been in the car all the way and is tired." ”

With that, she put down her chopsticks and pulled the two children into the house.

She put the kang table away, let the two little ones take off their shoes and go to the kang, she took them the villain books and candy left here by Niu Wa, and poured water.

"Shanshan, you take your brother to play for a while, if you are sleepy, spread the futon and then sleep," Lin Nianhe said to Zheng Shan in the gentlest voice, "Your mother and I are outside, if you have something to do, call us, okay?" ”

When she spoke, Zheng Shan still lowered her head, and waited until she was finally asked, then she cautiously glanced up at Lin Nianhe, and nodded almost imperceptibly.

"That's good." Lin Nianhe rubbed her head with a smile, and turned to Bai Xiaojun and said, "Xiaojun, listen to my sister's words, don't play along the kang." ”

Bai Xiaojun reacted a little faster, but he didn't speak either.

Lin Nianhe went out and sat back on the small bench.

Zheng Lirong looked at her and was silent for a while before asking, "You told me before that I could come to you if I had something...... Do you still count? ”

Lin Nianhe smiled, looked at her, and nodded very seriously: "Count." ”

Zheng Lirong took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, seemingly relaxed.

She looked at Lin Nianhe, was silent for a moment, and said, "I want to send Shanshan and Xiaojun to your village to study." ”

Lin Nianhe frowned: "What about you?" ”

"I have to go back to the provincial capital." Zheng Lirong said.

She couldn't let those who were still willing to protect them go without food, and she couldn't put her hopes for the future on the only remaining two thousand dollars that were lucky not to be stolen.

She doesn't like black market trading, but that's all she can do now.

The change cut her preferences and let her do whatever she wanted.

Lin Nianhe looked at her, was silent for a moment, and then asked her, "Do you have a supply?" ”

Zheng Lirong's eyes flashed slightly, and she said, "I won't do that." ”

Lin Nianhe smiled, she said: "Sister, Bai Bo will fall, not because he is trading with me, but because he raises prices and manipulates the market, and there are ......"

Zheng Lirong's eyebrows trembled slightly, the corners of her eyes were slightly red, and she interrupted Lin Nianhe's words: "Don't mention him." ”

"Okay, don't mention him." Lin Nianhe took a sip of water and said, "I really have a supply, but there will be a lot of requirements." ”

Zheng Lirong smiled bitterly: "Do you think I dare to take the goods from you?" ”

"Why wouldn't you dare?" Lin Nianhe looked at her, "Unless you also want to raise prices, or become someone else's eyeliner or nail again, and tell people who shouldn't know what you shouldn't say." ”

Zheng Lirong was silent.

"Why can they judge so quickly, you are in the provincial capital, you should know better than me," Lin Nianhe put his cheek on his cheek with one hand, looked at the green mountains in the distance and said, "Some things can be done, but some will die if you touch them." ”

Zheng Lirong didn't answer, and turned back to look at the two children in the house.

Zheng Shan still sat in place, hanging her head, rubbing the corners of her clothes without speaking. Bai Xiaojun bent over, fiddling with the small wooden gun in his arms, and did not move.

"Girl, I really want to hate you." Zheng Lirong whispered, "If it weren't for you, that deflated calf would still be alive at this time." ”

"But I can't hate you either...... Even if it weren't for you, he would have died sooner or later...... I didn't control men, and I couldn't complain about others. ”

Zheng Lirong's voice trembled slightly, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
