34 No wonder there are so many children
"I want a rabbit!"
As soon as Lin He's words fell, Aunt Xie hurriedly said: "I see that you went to your aunt's house in the morning to get eggs, and I will bring them to you when you finish eating, so as not to spoil them for a long time." ”
"No problem, Aunt Xie, you pick one yourself." Lin He nodded.
"Xiao He Changhui, I'll have one too, just a pheasant, eggs, see when you want it, tell me two or three days in advance, I'll save it."
"I also want a rabbit, I haven't eaten it in years, take it back today and try it."
You don't have to pay for it directly, but you exchange it for eggs, which doesn't seem to be so expensive, and several people have expressed their wants.
Some people Lin He still can't remember who it is, but fortunately, Li Changhui came over and put the pheasants and hares out for them to choose, anyway, there is not much difference in size.
Two wanted rabbits, four wanted pheasants, and the last one made up twenty yuan, because Lin He said that only two hundred eggs were needed.
The rest of the people still want to buy, so they can only pay for it, and some of them have a good relationship, and they are still discussing with each other, and the two families buy one and take it back and divide it themselves.
It doesn't matter how they divide it, they just collect the money.
After a while, a lot of pheasants and hares were sold, and some people asked others, but the price was really expensive, two or three times more expensive than pheasants and rabbits, and no one was willing to do it.
It is not easy for the croppers to make money, except for the grain in the field, there are almost no channels to make money.
Even if it is pheasants and rabbits, only about a dozen households buy them, and some of them still buy pheasants from two households together.
When no one asked for it, Li Changhui asked Li Changsheng for help and moved all these things to the ox cart, leaving only a pheasant and a rabbit.
After the two brothers drove the ox cart away, the others gradually dispersed, and Xiuling was about to go back, but was stopped by Lin He.
When everyone else was far away, Lin He went to the kitchen to pick up the hare and put it in the bamboo basket that filled the eggs in the morning: "Xiuling, take this rabbit back and let the eldest aunt cook it and taste it." ”
Xiuling was startled, and waved her hand again and again: "No, no, sister-in-law, you can keep it and eat it yourself." ”
Lin He forcibly stuffed the bamboo basket into her hand: "If you take it, just take it, Brother Hui specially told me, this rabbit was originally meant to be sent to your family, but there were many people just now, so it was not good for him to give it directly." ”
Xiuling was stunned: "Huh? ”
Lin He said with a smile: "Take it, while it's still early, take it back and pack it up and stew it, and when Changsheng comes back, you can almost eat." ”
When Xiuling went back with the bamboo basket, she happened to meet someone.
Lin He was still standing under the eaves at this time, squinting at the man talking to Xiuling, and also looked at the bamboo basket that Xiuling was carrying, and only hooked the corners of his lips.
"Grandma's here." Li Yu came out of the room, still holding Li An in his hand.
There were too many people just now, and Li An, who was sleeping, woke up, and Li Yu has been coaxing the child in the house since then.
Lin He took the child over: "Maybe I heard that your father came back from hunting and came to fight the autumn wind." ”
"Fighting the autumn wind?" Li Yu asked suspiciously: "Mother, what is the autumn wind?" ”
"It's okay, you go and tell grandma, your father sold all the things, and there is nothing left at home now."
Li Yu glanced at the corner of the kitchen, wasn't there still a pheasant there?
However, seeing that his mother left with her brother after saying this, Li Yu didn't ask, but trotted to her grandmother's side.
Lin He didn't blame Li Yu, anyway, in Li Yu and Li Hao's hearts, their grandparents have also taken care of them for several years, it can be said that since they can remember, their grandparents have always taken care of them, and it is all false to say that there is no emotion.
As long as Li Yu is obedient and will not completely stand on the side of her grandparents for no reason, she can accept it.
And judging from the previous begging for money, although Li Yu and Li Hao also remember their grandmother's goodness, they still stand at home in front of right and wrong, and that's it.
As for Li Yu running over according to Lin He's meaning, he happened to 'stop' his grandmother outside the yard, and Lin He didn't care.
She was ready to cook dinner, and just now when Li Changhui was collecting money, she filled the water bladder, and together with the wrapped snacks, let Li Yu put it on Li Changsheng's ox cart, so that the two of them could also cushion their stomachs halfway.
Needless to say, Li Changhui trekked through mountains and rivers all day, except for breakfast, he only ate a few cakes and drank a bowl of fish soup.
Li Changsheng probably just came back from the field, and the mud on his legs hadn't dried up when he came over.
There are ox carts, and the journey to town is not too far, but it is still more comfortable to eat when you are hungry.
Estimating the time, soaking the brown rice for two quarters of an hour, and then cooking on the fire, Li Yu came back, saying that her grandmother seemed to be a little angry and had already gone back.
Lin He didn't care, it had nothing to do with her anyway.
I didn't know it before, but now that I know that my in-laws are seriously biased, she won't be baba and send them the things that Li Changhui has worked so hard to hunt back for nothing.
Thinking of this, while the two children were there, Lin He simply said it.
"Yu'er Hao'er, I have something to tell you."
Slowly preparing the braised fish seasoning, he didn't even look at the brothers who took care of his younger brother behind him.
"Your grandparents are not good to your father, very bad, don't give away the things your father brought back in the future."
Li Hao was surprised: "They are not good to their father? Why? ”
Li Yu understood: "Mother, I know, in the future, if you and your father don't open your mouth, we won't take it out." ”
"Well, that's good, look at the fire, the ribs are almost ready, simmer on a small fire, and when your father comes back, make a braised fish and eat."
Li Yu is more mature than Li Hao, Lin He has already seen it, as long as he should do it, he can basically do it.
Lin He remembered one more thing, something that he had mentioned before and then completely left behind.
When Li Changhui comes back, he must discuss it with him, don't just talk about it, and forget about it.
The two little ones only heard the braised fish, and the fish soup at noon had completely conquered them, even if they had never eaten the braised fish, they were looking forward to it at this time.
It was getting dark soon, Lin He lit the oil lamp, only to find that the bamboo shoots had forgotten to collect, and hurriedly called the two children to help and take back the bamboo shoots together.
It's been wet with dew a bit, but it's not a big problem, just dry it again tomorrow.
When the bamboo shoots were taken back, it was already completely dark, the two big ones were discussing pork ribs and braised fish, and Lin He was sitting under the eaves with the child in his arms, a little bored.
When Li Changhui was at home, they could still say a few words, but there was no TV or newspaper at this time, and even the neighbors were far away, which was really boring.
Suddenly, some people in the village understand that almost every family has given birth to so many children, and the night is long, and there seems to be nothing else to do?
