Chapter 51: Going up the mountain with my brother
The two families could only reluctantly get up.
In their eyes.
Not providing the main house, food and money to his second brother Lin Zhuang and third brother Lin Min is a heinous crime, who made Lin Dawei an honest, benevolent and caring person for his younger brother.
Now it's not as caring as before, so he's wrong.
The daughters-in-law of the two families fell and beaten, as if Lin Dawei and his family owed them.
Wang Po's second daughter-in-law Xiaochun and eldest daughter-in-law Xiaolan quarreled in a few words, the two grabbed each other's hair and scolded for a while, and the quarrel in the front yard made people turn over, so that Zhang Miao was full of fun.
"Cut." Fang Hongying came out and poured a basin of water, rolled her eyes when she heard the movement, and said in a loud voice: "It's really your own family, you don't do any work, and wait for someone to serve you like your uncle." ”
Zhang Miao sneered, and it was rare that she didn't say a word to Fang Hongying.
Xiaochun and Xiaolan glanced at each other, and could only let go of their hands in embarrassment and pretend to clean up the house.
Lin Min took a few people from the family to the small wooden house where Dani and Erni lived in the back to clean up, and he asked his daughter-in-law Xiaoqiao to clean up the house, and then squatted outside with his son to roll cigarettes.
The daughter-in-law Su Shi was sorting out the salute she brought, and at the same time she yelled at the only granddaughter, pinching it from time to time, which did not look like a granddaughter, but to the enemy.
Let Dani and Erni feel a little empathetic.
"Milk, I made an appointment with the little brother who moved from the village to make cages together, and I will come back for dinner in the evening."
Lin Xiangrong jumped down from Wang Cuilan's knees, and shook her arm lightly while coquettish: "If you come back late, you don't need to leave me food." ”
The new guy in the village?
Wang Cuilan's brain was running rapidly, and she finally caught a person's figure.
It turned out to be the newly moved mother and son.
The village is small, and there is a bit of gossip, and it doesn't take long for it to fly all over the sky.
She nodded: "Milk will leave you food, you have to remember, a person is not allowed to go up the mountain, do you know?" ”
Although her granddaughter can pick wild mushrooms and occasionally have some good things that can be sold for money, Wang Cuilan wants her granddaughter to be safe.
As long as her little Fuwa can grow up safely and happily, even if the family is a little poorer, she can not have any extra livelihood.
I have hurt my granddaughter for so many years.
Even if it's a fake pain, it gives birth to real feelings.
Not to mention that Wang Cuilan really felt sorry for Lin Xiangrong, for fear that she would be a little dangerous and bad.
"I see, Milk." Lin Xiangrong grabbed a roasted potato and put it in his pocket, the potato was not very big, enough for a ten-year-old child to have a slightly full stomach.
Moment.
In the center of the village sat a boy dressed in black, holding a found vine in his hand, and beside him sat a somewhat flawed bowl containing a bowl of water, apparently ready to drink.
"I'm coming." Lin Xiangrong ran over happily, a pair of black and bright little braids swaying.
She tried hard to jump onto the stone slab and stared at Lu Xiao happily with a pair of round and big eyes: "Brother Xiao, I've kept you waiting for a long time." ”
"It's okay, I've just arrived, so it's not a long wait." Lu Xiao shook his head lightly and quickly got to the point: "Let's make a cage." ”
"Okay."
Lin Xiangrong shook his legs, pulled a vine into his hand, first tied a bottom knot, and then made up a rough model little by little, and instructed Lu Xiao, who had flexible fingers on the side and quickly got started.
About forty or fifty minutes, one taught, one learned, and one cage was made up like a decent.
"Be careful, otherwise the small animals will open as soon as they pick it up, and the opening on it should not be too big, otherwise it won't be covered, and they will jump out."
Getting closer to Lu Xiao, Lin Xiangrong instructed in a low voice, and the little fat fingers and the soft voice reminded Lu Xiao of his sister who died early.
His sister is also so soft and cute, and her voice is small and sweet.
Lu Xiao's expression was much gentler, he looked down at Lin Xiangrong who was holding his arm, and couldn't help touching her round skull.
"Huh?" Lin Xiangrong tilted his head.
Why did you touch her head?
Her big eyes were full of doubts, and she puffed out her face: "Brother Xiao, what are you touching my head?" ”
"Ahem..."
Lu Xiao racked his brains to find a reason: "I saw that your head was round, which was different from other people's flat heads, so I touched it." ”
The round head is very cute no matter how you look at it, with two little ponytails and a pair of big and round eyes, she is simply the cutest little girl Lu Xiao has ever seen.
"Of course, my mother specially slept with me, saying that the round braincase is super beautiful!" Lin Xiangrong became proud, put his head on Lu Xiao's shoulder, and said coquettishly, "Do you want to touch it again?" ”
Lu Xiao had a little itchy hands.
You can touch it.
He reached out and touched two more handfuls.
There is a kind of back to the beginning, when my sister snuggled up to her side, and my mother was not so paranoid.
The atmosphere between them was warm and quiet, as if there was a calm and cold stream of water, flowing by, soothing the raging fire that had been burning in his heart.
Lu Xiao bent his eyes: "Thank you, Rong'er." ”
"No thanks, you're my only playmate!" Lin Xiangrong raised his head proudly: "So, it's right to be good to you!" ”
A straight ball flew over, making Lu Xiao dizzy.
His ears were a little red, and he patted Lin Xiangrong's little brain: "Go ahead and make it up." ”
"Okay, make up a few more, let's put it on the mountain to catch the prey, and keep the rest for sale." Lin Xiangrong calculated the time: "At the latest, there will be an income in two weeks at the latest, which may not be a lot, but it is enough to alleviate it." ”
"That's right." She took out the potatoes and pounced with her little hands: "No." ”
"Potatoes?"
Or a baked potato.
This is for him?
Lu Xiao was slightly shocked: "For me?" ”
"Yes, you can eat quickly, I see that your hungry eyes are a little wandering." Lin Xiangrong stuffed the potatoes into the palm of his hand and muttered, "I'll only give you this one." ”
Then he lowered his head and continued to weave the vines into a cage, and after Lu Xiao finished eating in three or two bites, they quickly went up the mountain after a while.
Lu Xiao took the initiative to carry several cages stacked together, holding the small Lin Xiangrong, listening to her humming a strange nursery rhyme, and the nerves that had been tense were relieved a lot.
The mountain breeze was warm and slowly blowing, and the sky didn't seem to be as stuffy as before.
"Don't put it too close, it's better to be farther away, hang the food a little higher, and cut the place close to the top, so that you can use it as bait."
The mountains are densely jungled.
Pheasants and hares, as well as wild animals, run all over the hills.
The two of them put the cage a little farther away, Lin Xiangrong Tsai talked about it carefully, and only after Lu Xiao remembered it did he let go and let him try it himself.
Lu Xiao has a strong hands-on ability.
After watching it twice, he quickly pressed the cage well, and after adjusting the position, he and Lin Xiangrong went down the mountain.
He patted Lin Xiangrong's braincase.
It is said that the children of poor families are in charge of the family early, and a little girl who is just over four years old will make cages, and she must have suffered a lot of hardships in life.
I heard a few words from the people in the village, the Lin family is the most patriarchal, although it is said to be very good to this little girl, but how good can it be?
"Thank you."
"It's fine." Lin Xiangrong shook his head and smiled to reveal his sweet dimples, "I'll go to the town with my dad in a few days to have a look, let my dad calculate the approximate price, and tell you when the time comes, brother." ”
After all, she is only more than four years old, and no matter how precocious and clever she is, she can't be too smart in front of outsiders, and she takes her father to talk about everything.
As for the town, it is necessary to visit it in person, and only by looking at it yourself can you determine the market price and distribution.
