Chapter 24: Clearing up rumors

As it should be, Dani and Erni didn't hear anything, and the two of them made a quiet fuss before running outside to clean up the house.

Their future seems to be at the end of sight.

Winter is approaching, there are already signs of snow, after the autumn harvest there are only the people who throw roots in the field, the rest of the people are resting on the side, a few people talk about this year's harvest is not good, what to do in winter to subsidize the family.

At the end of the year, the labor will be discounted, and when it comes to money, someone mentioned the matter of Lao Lin's family selling ginseng.

"Have you heard, Lao Lin's family made a thousand dollars selling ginseng!" An aunt with the soles of her shoes couldn't help chewing the root of her tongue: "A thousand yuan!" How much does it cost to build a house now, can this build several blue brick and tile houses? ”

Now, the people who work in the town only have more than 40 yuan a month, which is still a lot, and the less is only 20 or 30 yuan, and this 1,000 yuan is enough to buy a house in the town and live comfortably.

Whoever hears this is not red-eyed.

"A thousand?!" An eldest lady opened her eyes wide and asked incredulously, "What about this old money?" ”

"yes." An old man with a cigarette said: "I heard that it was sold in the town, and it was sold for a lot of money, no wonder everyone in the Lao Lin family walked with the wind during this time, and it turned out that it was sold for so much money." ”

Hey, the people gathered together now started talking about it.

"Eh, don't say it, people are coming."

A few people who got off work came back together, Wang Cuilan pulled a face, and she was in a bad mood when she saw it, obviously thinking about the fact that ginseng was spread everywhere in the village and bought a lot of money.

Wang Cuilan asked several sisters in a row, and the answers they got were all uniform.

This made Wang Cuilan angry.

Everyone knows about the co-authorship, but no one knows about their old Lin family.

There is an eldest lady who is not afraid of things, waiting for Wang Cuilan and Lin Dawei to approach, and asked loudly: "Aunt Wang, I heard that your family sells ginseng for a thousand yuan, hey, why don't you go to the town for this money?" ”

Wang Cuilan's eyelids jumped with anger, and she replied loudly angrily: "A thousand? Where did I get a thousand dollars, I don't know. ”

She strode over, her menacing appearance frightened everyone and almost stood up, and the lady who asked was even more crooked, thinking of Wang Cuilan's pungent character, she regretted it for a while.

"A thousand bucks, fart! The old lady has never seen a thousand yuan in total, and you have it as soon as you touch the upper and lower mouths?! Wang Cuilan scolded: "Who is the little talk, the old lady doesn't tear his face." ”

This is Wang Cuilan scolding, Lin Dawei didn't stop it for the first time, he even rolled a leaf cigarette and sat with a few old men on the side.

"I don't know who lost his conscience and said that our family sold it for a thousand yuan, but it really doesn't give people a way to live, how can there be so much, at most only a few dozen yuan, enough money for a few children to go to school."

He said as he lit himself a cigarette with a match.

The other old men asked, "Brother, tell us the truth, you really don't know where this letter came from?" ”

"We know, this is what our eldest daughter-in-law heard when she went out, if it weren't for that, we would have to bear the black pot."

Lin Dawei smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Heaven and earth can be learned, our family can withstand the captain's inspection." ”

Hearing this, several old men believed a lot and told him some news.

It turned out that the news had been spreading in Xingjia Village for several days, and if you counted the time, it seemed that it had just started to spread shortly after returning from the town.

At first, no one cared, but after saying too much, some people believed it.

Wang Cuilan scolded for a while before she sat down to chat with these aunts, chatting and telling them about her own family quietly.

On the other hand, in order not to cause trouble for their own family, several people told the news while going to work.

The words were said very loudly, and after making sure that everyone around them heard them, he closed his mouth, only mentioning it from time to time, and scolding the person who was gossiping everywhere before leaving work.

When they arrived at the door, Lin Yuanxi and Lin Yuannan faced each other, and only entered the house after finding that what the two said was fine.

[Dad, you're back.] 】

As soon as he entered the house, the heat fluttered on his face, Lin Yuannan took off his cotton jacket, and after washing his hands, he heard his little daughter calling him.

He answered, wiped his hands with a torn towel, walked to a corner of the room, and looked down at the small cradle that had been used by several children in turn.

Lin Xiangrong stared at him with a pair of big and round eyes, and as time passed, she had changed from a small ball at the beginning to a larger ball.

The cloth used to make swaddling clothes was also replaced, and Wang Cuilan piled all the good things on Lin Xiangrong.

"Baby girl."

After a long time, Lin Yuannan also learned to call Lin Xiangrong baby, he reached out to pick up Lin Xiangrong, and after shaking it, he carefully took out something from his pocket and shook it: "Dad picked it up on the road." ”

It was a small cloth tiger, and it looked like a toy that some child had accidentally lost.

Lin Yuannan waited for a while after picking it up, and when he saw that no one was looking for him, he brought it back for his daughter to play with.

[Cloth Tiger! 】

Lin Xiangrong stretched out her little hand to hug the little cloth tiger, but her hand had no strength and could only be strangled with her two little arms.

[Thank you, Dad.] 】

Mei Zizi thanked him, and Lin Xiangrong lowered his head and looked at Bu Laohu seriously, unconsciously revealing a bright smile.

The few people in the room who were listening to the voices were chatting about things, but their eyes were all looking this way.

Lin Yuanxi stared at it for a while, then turned his head to look at his two girls who were cooking with the fire, and couldn't help pouting.

This good thing was all taken up by the third child.

"I'm late."

Zhou Zhaodi, who had been busy outside for a day, entered the house, her cheeks were red from the cold, her long hair was tied into a big braid and thrown behind her, she was not tall but very thin, and she helped cook and take care of the baby as soon as she came in.

"You don't have to cook, go feed the good baby."

Seeing Zhou Zhaodi's busy work without touching the ground, her tired eyes were almost unable to open, Wang Cuilan rushed her to feed Lin Xiangrong, took over the work herself, and quickly fried the family's dishes.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, come out for dinner!"

Wang Cuilan shouted, and the loud backyard heard it, which showed how loud her voice was.

[Oops, my milk is so loud, my ears are screaming. 】

Lin Xiangrong covered his ears with his little hands, his face was wrinkled, he turned his head and didn't want to feed for the time being, he just wanted to ease his ears.

Wang Cuilan paused, showed an embarrassed smile, and spoke quietly: "I won't go to work in a few days, and I will discuss how to spend the next winter in a while." ”

Several people answered, sat at the dining table and waited for the meal to begin.

After a while, Fang Hongying walked over, her expression was a little twisted, she glanced at Wang Cuilan, quickly sat down and gave Lin Yuandong a meal, and put some dishes aside, and wanted to finish the meal and bring it to Lin Yuandong to eat.

"This year's harvest is not good, someone asked the captain, the converted money is not as much as in previous years, and the leadership team who will come to the town to inspect in a few more days."
