Chapter 45: Caring for One Another
"It's coming!"
Lin Xiangrong responded loudly, quickly rubbed the clothes in her hand, and twisted it again, but her strength was too small to wring the water out, she puffed out her cheeks, and snorted angrily: "Little brother, this is how to wash, do you remember?" ”
The river water was cold, and after rubbing a piece of clothing, Lin Xiangrong's hands were slightly red, but she didn't care about shaking the water on her hands, and she didn't know if she found Liu Meng standing behind her, and directly shook Liu Meng's body in water.
"Ahh
Liu Meng screamed and wiped the water off his face vigorously: "Why are you throwing the water on my face?" ”
Having already found that Liu Meng turned back and hid behind, he deliberately threw her in the water, Lin Xiangrong looked back innocently: "I'm sorry, I didn't find you." ”
The unintentional apology made Liu Menghuo come up, she has been held for the past few years, her heart is higher than the sky, seeing that Lin Xiangrong apologized insincerely, she was about to push her as soon as she stretched out her hand.
It's normal for children to fight, and it's normal to accidentally push into the water, so it's not to blame her.
"Huh!" Lin Xiangrong exclaimed in surprise, flashed as expected, and jumped behind Lu Xiao.
"How do you push people?" Lin Xiangrong grabbed Lu Xiao's clothes, poked his head out from behind him, and said softly: "I apologized, why did you push me?" ”
Suddenly, he had low blood sugar without eating for a day, and Lu Xiao, who almost fell to the ground in front of him, was silently supported by Lin Xiangrong, and he shook it and stood firm.
Hearing this, Lu Xiao turned around and glanced at Lin Xiangrong, but he didn't expect that she would be observant of words and emotions at a very young age, and she was very considerate, and her choice to hide behind her was also very correct.
This made Lu Xiao can't help but have a good impression of Lin Xiangrong.
"You..." Liu Meng gritted his teeth, wanting to quarrel a few words, but he was afraid that it would affect Lu Xiao's impression of himself in his heart, so he swallowed the curse back, followed Lin Xiangrong's appearance, and looked at Lu Xiao innocently: "Okay, I accept your apology, I didn't mean to push you when I was angry just now, it's my fault." ”
"Brother Xiao, I'll help you wash your clothes." As soon as the words turned, the words fell on Lu Xiao, which showed that Liu Meng had never forgotten the purpose of approaching Lu Xiao.
"No, you don't." Lu Xiao shook his head: "I'll go back later." ”
It was just dark in front of him, and Lu Xiao knew that the clothes could be put away and washed, but he couldn't skip dinner.
Tonight's meal has not yet settled, he and Ruan Qing can't continue to be hungry, so people will be hungry and have problems, he is going to go to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables, if he is lucky, he can also catch a little wild mushrooms to eat, at least fill his stomach first.
"Oh, okay then." Liu Meng could only nod in agreement, staring pitifully and regretfully at Lu Xiao's back as he left with half of his clothes washed.
The son of the Lu family, an upright heir, was reduced to Xingjia Village, and he couldn't even afford to eat, and he didn't have a grain of rice at home, if he could give some help at this time, maybe he could get some goodwill, right?
Liu Meng fell into deep thought, but he didn't notice Lin Xiangrong, who was holding hands with Sanfu and leaving, and was looking back at her with a pair of eyes that flashed with unknown emotions for a while.
"Stay away from her." Sanfu carried the wooden barrel and took his sister's hand and walked back, he said as he walked: "I see that she wants to push you, the old Liu family is not a good person." ”
"Isn't this the lucky star of the old Liu family?" Lin Xiangrong asked casually.
It's still a lucky star who can give anything you want.
"Fuxing?" Sanfu snorted lightly and touched her round head: "She's not a lucky star." ”
After years of tireless brainwashing by Wang Cuilan, Sanfu successfully thought that his sister was a fairy who came down from heaven to repay her kindness under the guidance of Guanyin.
Not only the three rich, but also the two rich, although they don't care very much, they seem to think so in their hearts, they usually have a lot of tolerance for Lin Xiangrong, and if there are any good things, they will also keep a copy of Lin Xiangrong with a knife mouth.
When Lin Xiangrong heard Sanfu's words, he knew that Wang Cuilan had taught him well, so he pursed his lips and smiled, "Let's go, go home and eat fish, and ask grandma to make a braised fish." ”
The two of them made a leisurely journey home.
Lin Yuannan also came back at this time, he bought a few bags of rice and more than half a catty of meat, as well as sweet potatoes and potatoes that were resistant to eating, although the quantity was not much, it was enough for everyone to eat for a while.
At least not to starve for a short time.
Wang Cuilan and Lin Dawei were both happy.
Lin Dawei chewed on the tobacco and patted Lin Yuannan on the shoulder: "Not bad." ”
He thought for a moment, and then said, "Pick up some soft ones and eat them in the next few days, and put the rest in the cellar to eat slowly." ”
"Huh!" Lin Yuannan responded, and seeing that Yuandong and Yuanxi were not there, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "What about the eldest brother and second brother?" ”
"I went to work, the captain gave me a temporary notice, I didn't let you go if you weren't there, just show your face after a while." Lin Dawei waved his hand, picked up the hoe and walked out: "I'll go to the field first, Lan, you and your second daughter-in-law have made dinner." ”
"Got it." Wang Cuilan responded and beckoned Zhang Miao to prepare to cook, she muttered as she walked: "The old family doesn't know what to do, I can't catch the shadow every day, what do I always run to my mother's house these days." ”
"Dad, we're back."
Lin Xiangrong ran forward and grabbed Lin Yuannan's sleeve: "Where's my mother?" ”
"Your mother went to work and dried the grain in the yard." Lin Yuannan hooked the tip of Lin Xiangrong's nose, and took out a few pieces of fruit candy that he bought and stuffed it to his daughter: "No, Dad promised to buy you the candy." ”
"Ah, Dad really bought it? Public money used? Lin Xiangrong's eyes widened.
"How could it be." Lin Yuannan looked left and right, squatted down and whispered: "It's the money that my father sold at a stall in the town, don't tell your mother, she won't let your father set up a stall." ”
Lin Yuannan has been secretly setting up a stall in the town in the past few years to sell some things collected at low prices from the corners, although the profit from the sale is not very high, but it can accumulate a lot of money but also save a small amount of money.
That money, he kept it for Lin Xiangrong to use after school, and the girl's hairpin and new clothes were indispensable to wear, if she was far worse than her female classmates, she would be bullied.
He didn't want his baby girl to be bullied and looked down upon because she didn't dress well.
"Okay." Lin Xiangrong said that he would not leak his mouth, and then ran to Sanfu's side and stuffed him with a fruit candy.
Today's sugar, although it is exceptionally sweet and greasy, and the saccharin flavor is relatively heavy, it is a very rare thing for rural children.
Sanfu glared and stuffed the candy back: "Brother doesn't eat it, you eat it, how can there be a man who eats sugar." ”
He pursed his lips and swallowed the desire to eat candy: "I'm going to feed the pigs in the back, don't run around." ”
Ahh
But that's not what my brother's expression said.
Lin Xiangrong pursed his lips, ran behind Sanfu, jumped on his back, stuffed candy into the small pocket on the chest of his jacket, and then jumped down and ran quickly: "I'll go out to play!" ”
"This girl..."Sanfu touched the candy in his breast pocket, shook his head, and showed a helpless smile.
But his heart was warm.
I still don't have enough money at home.
I have to find a way to find the Ganoderma lucidum on the mountain, and then go into the town with Lin Yuannan.
If you can pick up the leaks and encounter good goods, you can buy a lot of money by changing hands.
People in this era are not very knowledgeable, but there are many people who know goods, and the things that are generally left behind will be thrown away as sundries.
Lin Xiangrong thought that Liu Meng used unknown methods to judge the value of some treasures and sold them, so that his family set up a garment factory and opened a restaurant that made money every day, and his heart itched.
