Chapter 3 The matchmaker comes to the door
Early the next morning, at the beginning of the morning, about five o'clock in the morning, Bai Xia was woken up by the sound of a strange Suosuo.
She listened intently to the movement outside, and there was the sound of a fire burning in the kitchen.
The smell of rice came from her, stimulating her stomach after being hungry all night, and her ears listened to the movement.
Lin boiled a bowl of thick porridge, hurried back to the room, put the porridge on the low table in the room, and gently called Li Xiuyuan to get up.
dressed and wiped his face with Li Xiuyuan's sleepy eyes, fed him one bite at a time with porridge, and then went out with a bookcase in one hand and Li Xiuyuan, who was still asleep, in the other.
In summer, the sky dawns early, and after she tosses this time for a while, the sky outside has begun to brighten, and she is not afraid of not being able to see the road when she goes out at this time.
After she went out, Bai Hua also opened the door and slipped into the kitchen to take a look, the iron pot was clean, and there was not even a grain of rice left.
She knew it.
How could the Lin family leave food for her, in this family, except for Li Xiuyuan's stinky boy who had that treatment, even the Lin family himself didn't eat an extra meal.
It is impossible to count on eating the stored grain at home, and Bai Xia does not bother to steal the food that is not much in the family.
The Lin family is very spicy, and they don't treat the original owner very well, but in terms of eating, except for taking care of Li Xiuyuan, they don't treat the original owner very harshly, not to mention that she still saved the original owner's life.
Bai Xia felt that he was a conscientious person, and he would definitely not be able to do such a thing as stealing food.
Lin sent Li Xiuyuan to private school, why did it take half an hour to come back, Bai Hua returned to the room, took down the only dilapidated bed tent, and went out in his arms.
She avoided people all the way to the small ditch, first broke up the tent, put it in the river water to wash it, and then tore it into strips of cloth the size of a tenth of the little finger and set it aside for later use.
It was only when she had torn the tent into strips of cloth that she began to weave fishing nets, not from top to bottom, but from one end of the river to the other.
When the fish pass through, because the mesh is too small, only the head of the fish can pass through, and when it retreats, the fishing net line is stuck in the gills of the fish, and a lot of fish can be caught when the net is lifted.
Bai Xia had seen nets made of particularly thin fishing lines before, and he didn't know if any stupid fish had gotten into this fishing net made of cloth strips.
The ditch in Lijia Village is not very large, and the fishing net woven from the strips of cloth torn from a tent is large enough.
Bai Xia tied the lower end of the net with a stone, and tied the upper end with a rope, put the net into the river, and tied the end of the rope to the trees at both ends of the river.
She was looking for a wooded spot in the shade and no one came.
Let's hope the fish in this ditch are stupid!
Bai Xia muttered in her heart, straightened up, only to feel dizzy for a while, so frightened that she hurriedly held on to the tree next to her, fortunately she didn't plant the river.
Rubbing his hungry stomach vigorously, Bai Xia didn't plan to go back at this time, turned around and left the ditch and walked towards the mountain.
Villagers could be seen working along the way, but Bai Xia avoided it, picked up a few handfuls of wild vegetables on the mountain, and walked in again, without seeing the shadow of wild meat.
Is this mountain so barren?
She was unwilling to look for it, but there was still no shadow of game, and finally she could only go home with wild vegetables.
It was just dawn when she went out, and when she came back, the sun had already risen.
It was also estimated that the Lin family should go to the ground, so she went back, otherwise she was afraid that it would be the scene of the disaster.
Bai Xia walked slowly, observing the farmland as he walked, some of which only had a thin layer of water, and some of which were directly dry.
At this time, the rice had just been tasseled, and it was the time of water shortage, and Bai Xia looked and could see the villagers carrying buckets to the river to fetch water to irrigate the farmland.
Others are in the whole ridge to avoid water loss in the field.
These are all manual work, and I don't know how the Lin family did it alone.
Bai Xia thought in her heart, and soon arrived at the door of the house, but as soon as she arrived, she heard a voice from inside.
Lin didn't work in the field?
Bai Xia was surprised, and cautiously approached the door to peek in, and saw a woman wearing a yellow coarse cloth with thin eyebrows and long eyes sitting in the hall talking to the Lin family.
"If you want me to say, girl, why are you doing this?"
"Brother Jialin has been gone for several years, you are alone with Brother Yuan, and you have brought a drag oil bottle later, the rice and grain are not good these days, look at what you have lost weight?"
"It's all hard work in this field, how long can you survive with your body?"
"If you want me to say, it's not okay to have no man in this house"
"Although Li Sansheng is a widower, he has no father and mother above, and no children below, if you follow him, he must treat Brother Yuan as his own son at that time."
"As for the girl in Sanya, you were kind enough to save her, you just bring a brother, that girl will send a person, receive some dowry, and when you get married, you can also have some decent silver"
The woman's mouth was chattering, and Lin didn't even have a chance to interject.
Lin's face was a little ugly, and taking advantage of the opportunity for the woman to take a breath, he hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, I won't marry."
This woman is none other than Li Xiuyuan's daughter-in-law, her maiden name is Xu, known as Li Xu, and she came to Li's house at this moment to protect the Lin family.
Li Xiuyuan's father went when he was one year old, and it turned out to be a Xiucai in the village, who died on the way to catch the exam, and everyone in the village was a pity.
At that time, the Lin family was still newly married, and the mother's family immediately asked the Lin family to go back to her parents' house to remarry, but the Lin family had a good relationship with her husband and had a young son to raise, so she decisively refused to remarry and cut off contact with her mother's family.
In the past two years, he has sold his family's belongings and deserved them properly, and finally pulled his son to the age of five and sent him to a private school to study, and his life has become more and more difficult.
The mother's family never mentioned the matter of letting the Lin family remarry, but the husband's clan couldn't sit still, and frequently came to the door to protect the media, and wanted to let the Lin family out.
No matter how capable the Lin family is, it is just a widow who has lost her husband, and her son is still young, who comes and goes, where will he be the opponent of the clan.
If you want Bai Xia to look at it, the Li clan is not interested in whether the Lin family will remarry, but the few acres of land deeds she is holding in her hand.
In the past two years, the harvest has become worse and worse, and every household has no surplus grain.
It's just that she is only a widow, and she can't be busy with a few acres of land, so she doesn't give the clan a chance.
You see, you are a woman with children, where you have done so much work, you can't do it without a man in the family.
According to Bai Xia, I am afraid that this Li Xu family is not easy to send today, and the first few times people came over, they also vaguely mentioned that the Lin family would remarry, and after being rejected by the Lin family, he quickly resigned.
And today, after the Li Xu clan was rejected by the Lin clan, he sat firmly and had no intention of leaving.
