After eating early the next morning, Lin Qingmiao and Yang Xiangbei took the little girl back to their parents' house, and when they arrived at the Lin family, the adults in the family went to work, leaving only Lin Qingmiao's eight-year-old nephew and two three or four-year-old nieces at home.

Dabao saw two people happily stepped forward to greet him, "Sister-in-law, uncle, why are you here?"

Lin Qingmiao took a piece of candy and stuffed it into Dabao's mouth, "Dabao went to the field and called your father back, remember to secretly don't let your milk know"

"Sister-in-law, I know" Dabao ran out after speaking.

Lin Qingmiao asked Yang Xiangbei to carry the little girl into the house to sit, she fetched a basin of water in the yard, washed the faces and hands of the two girls who played into small mud balls, washed the two little girls, and then brought them into the house and gave the two thin girls honey cakes to eat.

"Thank you, sister-in-law" The big girl Pu fanned her eyes and ate the snacks in her hands in small bites.

"Piggy" Erniu is not good at talking, but the little milk voice is cute and tight, the second girl is not as gentle as the big girl to eat, holding a snack and eating it in a big gulp, worried that the child will choke, and the second girl said along the back, "Eat slowly, there is more".

After the two chicks each ate two pieces of honey cake, Lin Qingsong, the eldest brother of Lin, ran back with Dabao panting, seeing that the two of them ran like this, Lin Qingmiao went to the kitchen to get two bowls of water for the two of them, and let the two of them take a breath and rest for a while.

Brother Lin's breath stabilized a lot after drinking the water, and asked his sister, "Little sister, brother-in-law, what happened when you came back today, and asked Dabao to secretly call me back."

Lin Qingmiao took out the things in the basket and put them on the kang, "Brother, I brought some food back, thinking that if I gave it to my father, it would be difficult to ensure that I would not be discovered by my mother, and then send it to the third aunt, so I thought that you and your sister-in-law would collect it first, and then secretly put an extra handful of food when the sister-in-law was cooking, so that the family could eat more."

Brother Lin sighed and sat on the side of the kang, "Little sister, you don't know, our family has already separated"

Lin Qingmiao was a little surprised: "Huh? When's the time?"

Brother Lin said, "On the day you got married, your father divided the family."

There is an old saying here that parents don't separate their families, but Lin Qingmiao can also understand that his father separated so early because he didn't want his mother to drag down his two sons.

When Lin Qingmiao's eldest sister got married four years ago, her family accompanied her with two quilts and two sets of new clothes, and her father gave her eldest sister 50 yuan to press the bottom of the box. When he came to Lin Qingmiao, his father originally wanted to give Qingmiao the same dowry, but when he asked her mother Zhou Bailian for money, he found that the more than 200 yuan originally saved by the family was gone. Lin Dazhu had no tricks, so he lent money to Lin Qingmiao to make a quilt and a set of new clothes, and he still gave 50 yuan at the bottom of the box.

Zhou Bailian has followed Lin Dazhu for almost 30 years, and divorce is impossible, in order not to drag down the two sons. After Lin Qingmiao got married, Lin Dazhu called the village chief and the secretary to the house and divided the family. On the day Lin Qingmiao returned to the door, in order not to worry Qingmiao, no one told Qingmiao about it.

Lin Qingmiao felt that it was a good thing to divide the family, at least he didn't have to worry about his father and his brothers not being able to eat it, "Then brother, you look at the arrangement, just give your father a bowl of food, and her mother is her own doing" Then Lin Qingmiao took out the stationery she prepared for Dabao from the bottom of the basket, and took out 5 yuan from his pocket and gave it to Brother Lin, "Big brother, you take the money, it's time for Xiaobao to go to school next semester, even if you don't learn much, at least you have to let the child recognize a word, and you can't be blind." ”

Brother Lin, an iron-clad man, couldn't help but redden, he wanted to refuse, but Dabao really needed these things, "Little sister, you know what is the situation in our family, big brother won't be polite to you, wait for the end of the year to calculate the work, brother will return the money to you"

Lin Qingmiao said softly, "Brother, don't be polite to me, Dabao is my nephew, and I should be an aunt."

The brothers and sisters didn't have so many polite words, and handed over everything to Brother Lin for him to distribute, Lin Qingmiao and Yang Xiangbei left Songshu Village, and Lin Qingmiao also experienced the helplessness of this era for the first time.

Feeling that Lin Qingmiao's mood was not very good, Yang Xiangbei glanced at his watch and it was only 9 o'clock in the morning, so he proposed, "Let's go to the county seat if we are free today."

Lin Qingmiao remembered that the original owner had never been out of the commune, and today it was rare for Yang Xiangbei to have time to go to the county seat, Lin Qingmiao asked, "How far is it from here to the county seat?"

Yang Xiangbei calculated, "Less than 15 kilometers, do you want to go to the county seat?"

Lin Qingmiao responded, "Well, I haven't been to the county seat yet, I've only been to the commune"

Yang Xiangbei thought for a while, "Then let's send the little girl back for my mother to watch, and then we will go to the county seat." ”

"Okay" The dark clouds in Lin Qingmiao's heart have dispersed a lot, and she really wants to go out for a walk and see the cities of this world after being in the village for so long.

Seeing that the two of them sent the child over again, Mrs. Li was a little unhappy, but when she thought of Lin Qingmiao giving the cloth and meat, she didn't say anything, just asked the two of them to come back early.

Yang pedaled his bicycle to the north for almost an hour before he saw the outline of the county seat, it was almost noon, and Lin Qingmiao got out of the car tired and walked with his legs shaking. Yang Xiangbei's leg also hurts, but he can bear it.

The two of them were tired, hot and hungry, and went to the state-run hotel at the first stop in the county, ready to rest for a while, and had lunch by the way. After the noodles were finished, the two of them almost rested.

Yang Xiangbei asked Lin Qingmiao, "Where do you want to go, or what do you want to buy?"

Lin Qingmiao: "I want to cut my hair." ”

Yang Xiangbei "What??? He was shocked and said, "This is so good, what are you doing cutting your hair?" "Don't all lesbians like this long hair?

Lin Qingmiao: "You see that my hair is yellow, even if I eat something nutritious, I can't make it back, so it's better to cut it." It's also refreshing. "It's also easy to take care of, and in the memory of the original owner, long hair is more likely to get lice.

Yang Xiangbei nodded and immediately said, "Okay, let's cut our hair first, and I'll buy two cans of malt milk essence for you and Yaya." ”

Lin Qingmiao heard it for the first time: "Malt milk essence, ......"

Yang Xiangbei explained: "That's good, it's very nutritious. ”

Although the original owner had never seen it in his memory, he had also heard that malt milk essence was a very good thing and said, "Okay." ”
