29 cotton seeds
Lin He was carrying the eggs, and saw the eldest aunt holding An'er to the side to play, An'er didn't recognize her life, so she was held by the eldest grandmother, grinning and giggling from time to time.
Lin He glanced around at the uncle's house, although it was a simple mud tile house, it was very large, and it was obviously divided into several parts, and one of the rooms had the word "happy" on the door.
That should be Li Changsheng and Xiuling's new house.
Li Changsheng and his brother and sister-in-law were not at home, so it was estimated that they went to the field first, and the uncle and aunt deliberately kept it, probably knowing that she was coming over and waiting for her.
Sure enough, as soon as the eldest aunt took An'er to the side to look at the little chick, the uncle spoke: "Xiaohe, is Changhui at home?" ”
"Uncle, Brother Hui has gone up the mountain, he went into the mountains to hunt today, and he may not come back until the afternoon."
"Well, that's the same as you." The uncle smoked a dry cigarette and knocked on the stone mill beside him.
"I see that your family's field has not been ploughed yet, our family has the last point left today, let Changsheng help your family plow the field tomorrow, although the field is not very good, but it is also necessary to plant crops, and in the future, it can be turned into fertile land with more fertilizer."
"There is also the matter of the little pig, I also helped to inquire about it, just to raise the seedlings, I will take him to catch it, in the neighboring village, not very far."
"Really? Great, I'll clean up the pigsty today. ”
After saying that, he hesitated for a moment, but decided to say: "By the way, uncle, Brother Hui is also going to buy cattle, so that it is more convenient whether it is working or going to the town." ”
Uncle showed surprise on his face: "Buy it yourself?" That's not cheap, you just got it, didn't you get the money? ”
It is no secret that Li Changhui was divided without a penny, and it is no secret in the village.
Lin He said with a smile: "I didn't get it, if I didn't get it, Brother Hui was very good at hunting, and he said that if he could buy it, he would definitely be able to buy it." ”
Last time, those pheasants and hares were all sealed with an arrow, and this alone is not something that ordinary hunters can do.
So even if he hasn't seen it with his own eyes, Lin He definitely believes in Li Changhui's ability.
"That's okay, Changhui has his own ability and can make money to support his family, so we can rest assured."
Seeing that Lin He was a little surprised, the uncle smiled and said: "It's also a child we watched grow up, and of course we are looking forward to him." ”
said with some emotion.
"That child was honest when he was a child, he didn't have two little cleverness, he didn't give two little ones a black pot, he didn't listen to him when he was smart, and he always said that his brother wanted to let his younger brother."
"I didn't expect that we have been teaching for more than ten years and it has been useless, but in the past ten years, it has changed a lot, but now it's okay, there are so many people in your family, how can you keep letting your younger brothers suffer for nothing."
Finally, the uncle also made a summary.
"Brotherly harmony, it's not the same as one person who suffers, and the rest only care about taking advantage."
Hearing others say that Li Changhui was honest again, Lin He only felt very weird, she didn't know what Li Changhui was like before, but the current Li Changhui had nothing to do with honesty.
However, Lin He didn't say much, and even felt that the uncle was quite reasonable, and he didn't think that Li Changhui didn't listen to his father's words, so he was unfilial or something.
So Lin He said with a smile: "Uncle is right, Brother Hui and I both feel that since we have separated the family, we should honor our father and mother, and we will not forget, but in addition to these, we must also take care of a few children in the family first." ”
Regarding Lin He's words, the uncle expressed his satisfaction: "Yes, you should be filial to your father and mother, you can't forget, but the family can't treat you badly, you are still young, and you will have children later, so you have to plan more." ”
Lin He didn't know how to answer this, she and Li Changhui were just husband and wife in name, so naturally it was impossible for them to have other children.
It's just that we can't tell the old man directly, we won't have children or anything, even if the uncle is not their father, it is estimated that they will have to talk about it all the time.
Lin He was embarrassed, and the eldest aunt came over from the side with Li An in her arms: "Why are you talking so much, Xiao He Changhui is not a child, they know what they want to do." ”
"Xiao He, don't be like your uncle, he just loves to worry, it's not enough for the whole Xiang'an Village to worry about him, he loves to preach young people every day."
Lin He's mind flashed, and he remembered: "Oh, I remember when I first came to Xiang'an Village, I heard Brother Hui say that the eldest uncle is the head of Xiang'an Village, right?" ”
No wonder, as the village head, he naturally has his own responsibility, so he took the initiative to let Li Changhui go to their house to pick up dung.
"Yes, if your in-laws are looking for trouble with you, you will come to your uncle to help you evaluate the reasoning."
"Okay, thank you, auntie, you should go and get busy first, I'm going to go back."
Lin He hugged Li An over, and called Li Yu and Li Hao, she hadn't had time to sort out the things that Li Changhui bought in the morning.
It's not early at this time, everyone went out to work, and when the uncle and aunt left, Lin He talked to Xiuling for a while, and saw that she still had to feed the pigs and chickens, so she didn't bother.
On the way back, Li Yu carried the eggs and walked cautiously, for fear of breaking the eggs.
When he was near Aunt Xie after working, he was stopped again, and it turned out that he told Lin He that he wanted to buy pheasants or hares again.
"I wanted to tell you just now, but I forgot about it as soon as I got out, and when your parent Hui came back, tell him, leave me a big one, and the price is the same as what the town collects."
Last time, I stewed a pheasant at home, not to mention, the taste is different from pork, obviously there is not much chicken, but a pot of dried bamboo shoots, mushrooms and radishes, are very fragrant.
Even the work is more energetic.
The most important thing is that last time Li Changhui left a hare at home to eat by himself, the two families were close to each other, and when Li Yu and Li Hao played with their children, when they talked about hares, they couldn't eat the children.
This will be busy for a while, and the family is not really so poor, so I am still willing to buy some good treats for the family.
Lin He hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Okay, when Brother Hui comes back, I'll tell him." ”
It's just that Li Changhui said that he wanted to go deeper, and she estimated that he wanted to find the big guy, but she didn't know if he would catch pheasants and hares and come back.
If you encounter it, you shouldn't miss it.
After returning home, Lin He put Li An in his small chair and let the two elder brothers watch outside, while he dried all the bamboo shoots first, and then went to clean up the things Li Changhui bought in the morning.
The ribs were put in the shade of the kitchen by her, and she was not going to make them at noon, and when they were stewed in the evening, Li Changhui could eat them together when he came back.
Several people's clothes were wrapped in a large package, Lin He called a few children back and distributed their new clothes and shoes to them, the small ones were stupid, but the two big ones were so happy that they couldn't find the north.
Her personal belongings were also brought back, but they were wrapped up separately and put in the cabinet by her and her own clothes.
In addition to these, there is actually a bag of black seeds, some small snacks, mung bean cake, hazelnut cake, etc., and a pound of sugar.
The black seeds should be cotton seeds, but I didn't expect the grocery store owner to be quite powerful, this big bag is quite a lot, and it is estimated that there are two or three catties.
