Chapter 13: Grievances
Knock knock knock~ The door was knocked, and Lin Baobao opened the door to see that it was Gu Shi.
"It's just in time, the clothes you changed in the morning haven't been washed yet, you put them back first, so you don't have no clothes to wear at night."
She walked back as she spoke, and Gu Shi saw her put away a small pile of broken silver treasures on the dresser one by one, and turned her head: "I asked my mother for a needle." ”
Lin Baobao hid the silver and subconsciously asked, "Where are your clothes torn?" ”
Gu Shi twisted his eyebrows: "Aren't your hands blistered?" ”
Lin Baobao was stunned for a moment, the original skin was tender, and she did have a blister on her hands, but she didn't care about it because she thought it would be good to grind it for a few more days to get cocooned, but because it was in the palm of her hand, Feng didn't notice it......
"You pick the blister and put this on again." As he spoke, he pulled out a piece of cloth with a green mass of unidentified objects on it.
Lin Baobao's nose moved, and it seemed to be mashed purslane.
She raised her eyes and carefully looked at Gu Shi's expression, and looked at the person with an uncomfortable face before she spoke: "Why don't you help me." ”
……
The Lin family ate late today, and when they arrived in the field, everyone else had finished mowing a ridge of land.
Lin Baobao could only comfort himself by sharpening his knife and not cutting wood.
"Bao'er, what is our task today?" Feng Shi didn't follow the four girls to pick up the ears of rice this time, because Lin Baobao told her about the power of example.
In addition, Father Lin also came, but his leg was not good, so he took a rattan and stood under the shade of the tree to supervise.
If anyone is lazy, he will yell at him, and Feng will go up and smoke it.
For a better life, the couple worked together to make a perfect match.
Lin Baobao raised his head, and in front of him was a large area of golden rice fields, the heavy ears of rice bent the rice stalks, and the tip of his nose was full of the smell of rice mixed with the smell of earth.
Smelling the scent, the scorching sun on the head didn't seem so unbearable.
Lin Baobao curled the corners of his lips: "Our family has five acres of land, and we can harvest the five acres of land in the afternoon." ”
In addition to the second girl, the third girl, the fourth girl and the second mao, the third mao can only pick up the ears of rice when he is young, and there are thirteen people left, and one person only needs to cut less than half an acre.
There is still too little land at home!
Feng's eyebrows jumped, thinking of the day when he would change into a new dress, he gritted his teeth: "It's done." ”
Turning his head, he saw that everyone was listless, and shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze." Give me a little bit of dexterity in my hands and feet, if anyone dares to be lazy to see how I clean him up. ”
Lin Family: ......
The villagers were busy cutting rice, and Zou Xiuyu had just happened, and when they saw their battle, they were only slightly surprised, but they didn't talk about it like in the morning.
The most important thing is that they don't believe that the lazy Lin family will suddenly change their temperament, maybe they are doing something from Lin Laoshi's house.
It's not like this hasn't happened before.
Let's just say that recently, last year, everyone went up to the mountain to pick tea seeds, and they also went with them in the first few days.
The result was good, either this injury or that disease, and in the end, half of the income from Lin Laoshi's family selling tea seeds would be shared.
Such a scoundrel relative, Lin is used to being honest and stupid.
There are not a few people who have this guess, but when the sun sets, everyone packs up their things and prepares to go home, and they see that the Lin family is still in the field and has not left, and they are a little uncertain.
Look at that large fallen rice field, will you take the drama too seriously this time?
Lin Dalang didn't know what everyone thought, otherwise he would have sprayed them with blood.
What about your family's acting?
For a whole afternoon, even if they came late, it was almost two hours old, and they didn't rest except for drinking water and peeing in between.
If you don't rest, you have to be pumped by the old lady from time to time.
"Lin Erlang, you're itchy again, aren't you?"
Lo and behold, here we go again!
Lin Erlang jumped to his feet: "Mother, I have an urgent need to urinate." ”
"It's really lazy donkey to grind and pee a lot, hurry up."
Looking at his man's tanned red face, Zhou was so distressed that he wanted to say something, but when he saw his mother-in-law coming over, he was so frightened that he hurriedly bent down and continued to work.
In his heart, he was thinking that he would cut a piece of cloth when he went back, so Ming'er asked Erlang to cover his face.
How to say that it is husband and wife, Lin Erlang is also thinking about this.
The men of the Lin family are not bad-looking, and among the five brothers, Lin Erlang is the most top-notch, white and delicate.
At the beginning, he relied on that face to fascinate the Zhou family, and he married with a dowry without even asking for a dowry.
The Zhao family, who married Lin Dalang in the same year, spent the Lin family a full three taels of silver, and the dowry was not seen at all.
This is also the most proud thing in Lin Erlang's life, so he cares more about his face than others.
After Feng finished his rounds, he persuaded his daughter to rest.
"Mother, I'm not tired, you go and rest." Lin Baobao refused for the third time.
Everyone in the Lin family wailed in their hearts: My sister (sister-in-law) doesn't want to rest, they want to!
……
On the other side, Uncle Lin also went home with his children and grandchildren.
Liao's health has not been good in recent years, so he tidied up the vegetable garden at home, cooked for them, and did not follow the field.
In the past, she always pinched the order to make the meal before they came back, but today it is rare to have a cold pot and a cold stove.
"What's going on?" Uncle Lin saw her sitting in the hall in a daze, and asked worriedly, "Is there something uncomfortable?" ”
Liao Shi did not respond.
Uncle Lin was frightened, and hurriedly called his eldest son who was carrying millet outside: "Genzi, your mother is afraid that it is not good, quickly carry her to Lao Zhangtou to take a look."
What, no?
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly left their work and ran to the hall.
Lin Shougen even threw away the basket directly, and he didn't care about the millet spilled on the ground.
"Mother~" The two daughters-in-law cried when they went in.
"What are you crying, I'm not dead yet." Liao's sudden voice startled the family again.
Uncle Lin glared: "Old woman, what are you doing, tell you not to make a sound, scare yourself to death." ”
Liao pointed to the things on the square table in front of him: "Look at what it is?" ”
The crowd leaned over to look.
"What is this? Fish? ”
"Master, there are eggplants in it, it smells strange."
Sanzhu saw that there was an oiled paper bag next to it, and he picked it up and opened it.
Wow, it's actually half a roast chicken.
It's cold, but the scent still hits your nose.
He swallowed: "Milk, have we picked up the money?" ”
Look, it's not cheap, where are you willing to buy these without picking up money?
It's fish and chicken, and I can't eat it so much during the New Year.
"It was sent by your second uncle." Liao's voice was a little choked: "Dad has been gone for almost twenty years, right?" In the past 20 years, our family has been sending food and money over there every year, when did they have a bite to eat? ”
She wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve and said incoherently: "Forget it, I don't expect them to send us anything, as long as we don't pick it up, thank God." ”
Just because of this, sit here for an afternoon? Although they were also surprised, but not so.
"Why not? I want to give it up. After Liao finished speaking excitedly, he suddenly clenched his fists and hung down his chest: "I am aggrieved in my heart." ”
"Mother." Lin Shougen and his younger brother Lin Shouxing hurriedly went to stop him.
"What are you doing in front of the kids?" Uncle Lin sighed, his face full of guilt.
Of course, he knows what the person next to him is wronged by, and he also knows that the whole family is wronged, but he can't ignore the life and death of his younger brother's family.
Liao is also soft-natured, and after being stopped by his son, he began to hide his face and cry: "When the big girl sent something, Tie Zhu Niang happened to come to talk to me, and she recognized it at a glance that this was the roast chicken of Zhiwei Zhai in the town, do you know how much it costs?" ”
"Two coins of silver, a whole two coins of silver......"
In order to make a dowry for their grandson, their family wanted to break a copper plate in half and spend it, but they used two coins of silver to buy a roast chicken.
If the money was earned by themselves, she wouldn't say anything, but every copper plate in it was saved by their family.
This is a relative, clearly a vicious wolf who eats people and does not spit out bones.
"Daddy!" Lin Shougen looked at Uncle Lin forbearingly, wanting him to make a statement.
Uncle Lin's face was full of struggle, and he said weakly: "The second brother has all gone to work in the field today...... It will get better and better in the future......"
Sure enough, Lin Shougen and the others were very disappointed.
Lin Shougen's daughter-in-law, Xiao Liao, helped her up: "Mother, I'll help you go back to the house." ”
The others followed suit.
Uncle Lin's already bent back was even more bent.
