400 times Stone Lotus
The next day, Lin Lan went to the post office to send the mushrooms back, went to buy some food, and asked Li Wu to help Wu Shuqun buy food.
The next day, the family and Wu Shufen, who had several grandchildren, and Wu Shuqun's mother and son, embarked on the road to Shilian together.
When he arrived in Dashiqiao Town, Zhou Shishi went to the family that specialized in fostering mules for others, gave the foster care fee, brought the mules to carry the food, and the group walked towards the riverside ferry.
Lao Li looked at the old houses on the side of the street, and when he walked through the bamboo forest, he said to Lin Changyou with a smile: "My family, I came to Dashiqiao when I was young. I don't think anything has changed in these places over the years, except for the station. ”
Lao Li smiled: "Nothing else has changed, there is an additional station, and there are ferries, which used to be carried by boat to cross the river." ”
When the group arrived at the ferry, it may have just rained, and the river had risen to the gangplank of the ferry.
The adults drank a few Lin Jun who ran towards the river, and stood far away waiting for the ferry to arrive.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the ferry suddenly came with black smoke.
Lin Lan, Li Xiangyang, Lao Li, and Lin Changyou carried the children on the boat with their backs, and after a while, the ferry headed across the river.
Lin Jun was not afraid of the water at all, sat on the side of the boat, and stretched out his hand to pick up the splashing waves.
Wu Shufen said twice and didn't listen, so angry that one person slapped it twice, and threatened several people that if they didn't obey and get off the boat, they would take them back to Dongshi, and a few people were honest.
After getting off the boat, several people led a few children across the gangplank and ran to the river beach.
Lin Jun said to Xiaodouzi and Lin Qing: "Comrades, it's time for us to be on our territory, our first goal is to rush to the high ground ahead~"
"Rush~Rush~" Several children waved their hands and rushed towards the embankment.
Wu Shufen looked at a few people and shook her head with a smile: "Look at it, these ones are like wild horses on the loose!" ”
Wu Shuqun smiled: "It seems that it is suffocated in the city." It's good in the city, but it's not as good as the countryside! ”
The vines on the river beach bloomed with purple-red flowers, and Lin Hong pulled a lot of vines, braided a wreath and put it on his head, and proudly chased the forest army and they went.
Seeing that the children had already gone up the embankment, the adults also sped up to the embankment.
When the children saw the adults following, they waved their hands and ran away.
After going down the embankment, you will arrive at the ramp to Shilian.
Lin Lan took out the cakes she brought, everyone ate to cushion their stomachs, and continued to walk back.
The grass flowers on both sides of the hill bloomed just right, and Lin Jun climbed up to pick a few bunches of flowers, and one of them took a bunch in his hand, and walked towards the slope.
The paddy fields on the slope are already full of seedlings, and the leaves of the seedlings are a little yellow, and it seems that they have only been planted for a short time, and they have not yet returned to green.
After walking uphill for a short time, I met a team member, Wu Shufen smiled and said a few words of greeting, and continued to walk back.
The neighbors next door saw it at the door, and they all came out to greet them with a smile, and those who came closer came out to say a few polite greetings. There is also the red-eyed Lin family, who said sourly that Lin Changyou is now from the city, how can they go back to the mountains?
Lin Changyou and Wu Shufen smiled, didn't answer, and when they arrived at the door, they took out the key and opened the door.
Lin Jun pushed open the courtyard door, and the wooden door made a "squeak~" sound, and several children rushed in.
Several people looked at the courtyard: "Ah! It's all moss. ”
Lin Hong said: "The grass in the vegetable field is so deep. ”
Lin Gang: "Let's go to the foot of the mountain behind to see if the pear tree catches the fruit?" ”
Lin Changyou hurriedly reminded a few children: "Where the grass is deep, first find a stick to knock on the grass to drive away the snakes and insects before going over." ”
"Got it." A few children ran towards the backyard.
Wu Shufen said with a smile: "In-laws, eldest sister, fortunately, Xiuqing and the boss came back a few days ago and cleaned up, otherwise the house would have been full of weeds at this time." ”
Lao Li looked at the abandoned vegetable patch in the yard: "The house still has to be inhabited, no one lives, and it is very fast to lose popularity." ”
Lin Changyou and Li Xiangyang helped Zhou Shishi carry the grain down, the pack was taken down, and Zhou Shishi put the mule in the vegetable field to graze.
Lin Changyou opened the door of the hall, Lin Lan and Wu Shufen found a rag, wiped the dust off the bamboo chair, and moved it under the eaves, seeing that Li Xiangyang had already taken the bucket out to go to the well to fetch water.
Lin Changyou smiled at Lao Li and said, "In-laws, when they clean up, I'll take you to see my pig farm." "The pig farm was rented to the captain's family to raise pigs before leaving, I don't know what happened now?
"Good!" Lao Li followed him towards the backyard.
Wu Shufen gave Lin Lan the key to the cabinet and asked her to clean up the room, and she went to clean up the pot and stove to boil water and cook. The sisters carried the clip into the stove room, and saw that Li Xiangyang had already washed the water tank, and began to carry water and pour it into the water tank.
Lin Lan opened the door and turned on the light, and found that no one lived in it for half a year, the house was covered with cobwebs, and the cabinets were also full of dust.
She found a feather duster tied to a bamboo pole and swept the cobwebs from several rooms.
I went out and got the basin, and went back to wipe the cupboard and the edge of the bed, and the water in the basin became black and muddy for a while.
Li Xiangyang walked into the room with a bucket: "The house is unoccupied, and there is a musty smell." ”
Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "Yes!" No one at home is like this, and when you come back for a few days, you have to clean up for half a day. ”
The two of them cleaned up a lot faster, and after wiping the dust off several rooms, Lin Lan opened the cabinet and took out the quilt to spread it.
Li Xiangyang carried the sack into the room, and inside was the quilt and blanket they brought.
Lin Lan glanced at Li Xiangyang: "Are you in the same room with your father, or in your own room?" ”
"Let's have our own room!" Li Xiangyang looked at her with a smile, "I'm worried that I'm confused and unruly in the middle of the night." ”
This side of the countryside, influenced by traditional thinking, has always abided by the rules left by the ancestors.
A family with an uncle-in-law at home, or a family with a son-in-law who has come to the door. A married daughter and son-in-law are not allowed to live in the same room.
The superstitious saying is that daughters and sons-in-law live in the same room, and if they do the things of husband and wife, they will take away the good fortune of the family and bring disaster to the uncle.
Lin Lan patted him and went to another room with the quilt.
After the two of them made the bed, Lin Changyou and Lao Li returned home with a few children.
Several children have become flower cats, Xiaodouzi's hands and teeth have turned black and red, and Lin Lan knew at a glance that a few people went to the back mountain to pick mulberry bubbles and eat them.
"Mom, look at the mulberry bubbles we picked." As soon as Xiaodouzi saw the two of them, he put the ginger taro leaves in his hand on the small dining table, and the leaves spread out to reveal the chubby black and red mulberry bubbles, which were exposed.
Lin Jun and Lin Hong took out two handfuls of plums from their bulging trouser pockets: "Crispy plums are delicious." ”
Lin Gang and Lin Qing took out a few safflower peaches from their pockets: "Sister-in-law, my uncle is delicious and very sweet." ”
