62 Aunt Yamazawa begged for a gift
Since they had already had a meal in the county before Lin Qian, it didn't matter if they had lunch or not.
Lin Qianqian changed the clothes on his body and replaced them with a set of clean but patched old clothes.
Father Lin and Aunt Lin had been digging the cellar all morning, and by noon they had already cooked their meals, and when they learned that they had eaten, they ate by themselves.
Lin Qianqian took a few younger brothers and sisters to the river, preparing to dig konjac in large quantities.
Today's workload is very large, the konjac at home has been used up, today you have to dig up enough konjac, today you have to make more konjac tofu, tomorrow you can sell a little more.
Lin Qianqian took a few small ones, and found a random riverbank near his home and began to dig up.
Lin Mingming looked at the konjac leaves that could not be seen at a glance along the riverbank, and was very happy.
These konjac are all silver, as long as they can dig them back, they can make konjac tofu, and they can exchange them for silver.
If all of this is exchanged for silver, how much silver will it have to be exchanged?
He excitedly waved his hoe to dig, I don't know if it was because of the new hoe, or because he had a lot of strength to eat in the past few days, he felt that the more he dug, the easier it became, and a few hoes went down, and he could bring out a konjac the size of a small wooden basin.
The dragon and phoenix fetus followed Lin Qian and Lin Mingming, constantly picking up konjac.
The newly dug konjac has a lot of dirt on its body, and they first have to pat off the soil on the konjac, and also pull out the longer roots on the konjac, so that the cleaned konjac can be put into the back basket.
Lin Qian wiped her sweat before wiping her sweat, and saw that the two dragon and phoenix fetuses had even cleaned up the thumb-sized konjac and put it in the back basket, she hurriedly said: "Xiaoyue, Xiaoguang, don't want konjac that is not as big as a fist." ”
The konjac is too small, and it is troublesome to clean up, not to mention that these small konjac are placed here, and they can still grow in the next year, saving her from planting.
Seeing the painful look on the face of the dragon and phoenix fetus, she explained with a smile: "These small ones will not be wasted here, so let's do it, you can bury those small konjac in the mud while picking them up, and they will grow up again in the next year, and we can dig them again, saving us from planting them specially." ”
Lin Mingming and the dragon and phoenix fetus were excited when they heard this, and shouted, "The eldest sister is too smart, the eldest sister is too powerful." ”
After a few people dug for a while, they saw Father Lin and Aunt Lin hurrying over with hoes and backpacks, followed by Aunt Shan Ze with an impatient face.
Several small ones, including Lin Qianqian, all greeted their parents, but they turned a blind eye to Aunt Shan Ze, as if they didn't have her.
Aunt Shan Ze was so angry that she didn't know anything and didn't call people, she had obviously told Daddy Lin just now, Daddy Lin and Aunt Lin, the two gourds who pouted, didn't tell Daddy Lin to do anything when they got here.
She looked at the busy few people, and said angrily: "Big girl, your grandma asked me to take the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts." ”
Father Lin and Aunt Lin came with Aunt Shan Ze, of course they knew the purpose of her trip.
A few little ones didn't know, but after listening to Aunt Yamazawa's words, their hearts couldn't help but rise.
The family finally has a little money, and now they have to dig it out.
If the money is worth it, it will be counted, but if it is given to grandma's family, they feel that it is not worth it at all.
Father Lin was separated and singled out before he got married, and for Lin Qianqian and a few young people, Mrs. Lin was just an old woman in the village.
From birth to the present, they have never eaten a mouthful of food from Mrs. Lin's house, nor have they drunk a mouthful of water from Mrs. Lin's house, isn't Mrs. Lin a strange old woman to them?
Usually during the New Year's holidays, Daddy Lin will send things over there alone, more than a piece of meat, as little as a few catties of rice, no matter how much or how little he sends, there is no return.
It's okay, because the family is separated and they don't live together, it makes sense for everyone to be divided, the key is that Mrs. Lin sees that their family doesn't have a good face, and every time she puts on her face to show them, she sees them as if she sees an enemy.
Lin Qianqian didn't have any feelings for Mrs. Lin in the memory of the original owner before, but since that time under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, she was inexplicably spat and disgusted by Mrs. Lin, she didn't have a good impression of this old woman.
It's ridiculous that an old woman who doesn't look down on them everywhere is now embarrassed to come to ask for a festival.
Lin Qian decisively refused: "No! ”
"None? Lin Daniu, you lied to the ghost, just now the Li family said at the door of the ancestral hall, their family sent a lot of things to your family as a thank you gift, you saved Li Tianmei, everyone has spread the word, you look at your family, these days have eaten meat, and put on new clothes, you have silver to eat and drink, eat well and wear good, don't you have silver to honor your grandma? Aunt Yamazawa's voice unconsciously rose higher, and the tone of her voice was also very rushed.
When she got married, Lin Dazhuang split up and took away a few acres of land and some mountains and forests, although there were not many things, but they were also their things.
Now she just asked Lin Dazhuang to hand over some filial piety, and they even pushed back.
When she faced Lin Daniu, she inexplicably thought of the embarrassing moment when she and Li Dahong were rolling in the grass and being seen by Lin Daniu, in addition to the embarrassment, she was more angry in her heart.
Li Dahong didn't dare to look for her these days, causing her to toss and turn at night and couldn't sleep, and her man was not at home every day, so he couldn't count on it at all.
All of this was made by Lin Daniu.
"Filial piety? Since Mrs. Lin is my grandmother, did you prepare a birth ceremony for us when we were born? Have you ever sent us a red envelope during the Chinese New Year? Have you ever given us a piece of candy to eat? I usually see her at the head and end of the village, we call her grandma, did she answer? Lin Qian said loudly, leaving Aunt Shan Ze speechless.
Because what Lin Daniu said is the truth.
She said forcefully: "No matter what, she is also your grandma, your Mid-Autumn Festival festival has not been given yet, your grandma pity you didn't have any silver at the time, so you didn't ask for it immediately, and now you have the silver, you should make up for it." ”
"Don't give it!" The original owner was bound by feudal etiquette, even if she didn't want to, she would give Mrs. Lin a festival every New Year's Day, but she didn't want to get used to Mrs. Lin.
Why should the money she worked so hard to earn go to someone who has nothing to do with and who doesn't like them? She didn't want to be a brainless licking dog.
Aunt Yamazawa suddenly exploded her lungs.
The mother-in-law told her to come and get the festival, if she couldn't get it, the mother-in-law would definitely think she was useless, and it was estimated that she would have to listen to her for a while in the future, and in order to live a peaceful life for herself, she would have to get this gift anyway.
She said confidently: "There are more vicious grandmas in the world, even if you don't like your grandma, it can't change the fact that she is your grandma, this festival should be your filial piety to her, so be it, I'm in charge, you give fifty yuan, Wu Dahu will pay you twenty yuan, and the Li family has also sent you a lot of things, you can give fifty yuan, you hurry up and give it, this will be the winter solstice again, is it possible that you still want to give it together with the winter solstice ceremony?" ”
"Auntie, how many thank-you gifts did the Li family give to my family, didn't Uncle Dahong give you details?" Lin Qianqian said with a sudden smile, her tone of voice was extremely sarcastic and suggestive.
