Lady Lingquan lifts a thousand pounds

On New Year's Eve, the family was busy preparing for the New Year.

A lot of things need to be prepared to worship ancestors.

There is a broken custom here that does not allow women to worship ancestors. Lin Xiangxiang despised it and did not hesitate.

Anyway, she was not originally from the Lin family, and that ancestor had nothing to do with her.

Lin Ping'an went there with his five sons. His face was not good-looking when he went there, and he still looked bad when he came back.

Without asking, I knew that I met someone from the old house, and the two sides didn't say a few good words.

Lin Wuhu said quietly, "We met Brother Guangsheng. You didn't see it. His nostrils were turned up in front of the ancestors. Grandma kept praying to the ancestors to protect him from getting into the first prize. She also asked the ancestors not to bless the wrong person."

Lin Xiangxiang curled her lips when she heard this.

They are both her grandsons, and the difference in treatment is too big. They are still talking nonsense about their ancestors.

Only bless Lin Guangsheng and not care about the other grandchildren?

How stingy.

With people like Mrs. Lin, the old house will never be able to develop in this life. Even if it does become prosperous, it will not last for many years.

She told her brothers not to be angry. They were eating hot pot today and they could just live their lives.

Early in the morning, I was cutting meat and preparing base ingredients and vegetables.

There are frozen tofu, dried tofu, meat and some Chinese cabbage at home.

Lin Xiangxiang also had some garlic sprouts.

Although garlic sprouts don't seem to go well with hot pot, it would be nice to eat some green leafy vegetables at this time, so don't be picky.

A few days ago, she took garlic and put it in the kitchen to grow garlic sprouts. Liu Siniang thought she was joking.

When she came back after actually cutting the garlic seedlings, Liu Siniang said nothing.

"It turns out that garlic sprouts can actually grow. Darling, this is a good idea. If we grow more garlic sprouts next year, we might be able to sell them."

Lin Xiangxiang smiled and said, "Actually, it's just like raw bean sprouts, and there's no skill at all. If Mom wants to sell it, just grow more garlic in the vegetable field this year."

Liu Siniang took note of this and planned to grow more garlic this year.

After the soup is cooked, the whole family gathers together to enjoy hot pot.

They also made dumplings and ate them together.

While I was enjoying my meal, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Pingan took the ax vigilantly, walked to the door, and asked loudly, "Who is it?"

Lin Changshun's muffled voice came from outside, "Second brother, it's me."

Lin Xiangxiang heard the sound and looked unhappy. He quickly threw the remaining meat into the pot and stirred vigorously.

By the time Lin Changshun came in, Lin Xiangxiang had divided the meat into several people's bowls.

Everyone else was greeting Lin Changshun and did not notice Lin Xiangxiang's actions. Only Lin Sanchuan and Lin Wuhu noticed it.

Lin Changshun saw a pot on their table, and a stove under the pot. The soup was boiling in the pot, and it was steaming and fragrant. He couldn't help but sniff.

I saw that the bowls of several children were filled with meat, and I couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

In the old house, he and Wang Yinggu basically couldn't eat meat, and they could only eat a little when the farming was busy.

In the second brother's house, everyone can eat meat, and they can eat so much.

Lin Changshun's eyes were a little red, but he quickly held it back.

Lin Pingan and Liu Siniang had already invited him to sit down, brought bowls and chopsticks, and filled them with dumplings for him to eat.

Lin Changshun bowed his head and said thank you, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, you are the best to me."

Lin Ping'an said it was nothing and asked him why he came here during the Chinese New Year.

Lin Changshun ate four dumplings in a row, almost one bite at a time, without even thinking about talking.

The dumplings here are really delicious. They are filled with lard and pork. They are full of ingredients and the fillings are fragrant.

Liu Siniang gave him a bowl of dumpling soup and told him to follow it up.

He drank the soup and then had time to speak.

"It's mom. I compensated you fifteen taels of silver before. She said that the family has no money. The meals for the New Year have been reduced by more than half, and the meat is not given. They have to keep it for guests. Because Aunt Ying and I have no children, she scolded me. Even though I had a meal, I didn’t even give them any food.”

As he talked, he cried.

Lin Ping'an couldn't help but sigh, "Third brother, if it doesn't work, just separate."

Lin Changshun said with red eyes, "Second brother, how can it be that easy? We have no children and only two strong laborers. How can the eldest brother ask us to separate?"

Now the work at the old house is basically done by the two of them.

There are only two people and no children, which is equivalent to two pure labor forces. It is strange that the old house would let people go.

Liu Siniang didn't know what to say, so she packed some dumplings and wrapped them in brown paper.

"When you go back later, take these and secretly give them to Aunt Ying."

Lin Changshun said yes with red eyes again.

He ate the dumplings with big mouthfuls and looked very pitiful.

Others were embarrassed by what he said.

But Lin Xiangxiang ate his own food and was not affected at all.

Lin Ping'an said, "Third brother, you have never had children. Why don't you find a doctor? You both go and see. I heard people say that having a child is a matter of two people. You both go and see."

He was kind-hearted, and he actually heard some words from people in the city during this period, so he told Lin Changshun.

But Lin Changshun's expression immediately changed, "Second brother, do you think I'm not good enough?"

As if he was eager to prove himself, he raised his voice and said, "I can do it. I did it three times a night. It was because Aunt Ying fell into the water when she was a child and was in poor health that she couldn't give birth."

He spoke so loudly that Lin Sihai and Lin Wuhu looked over curiously.

Liu Siniang quickly glared at them and refused to let them listen.

Lin Ping'an also said quickly, "Okay, okay, second brother didn't mean that. He meant that you two have been so tired all day long and you can't eat well. I heard the doctor said that it's hard to have a baby if you're too tired. There's nothing else. "

After he explained this, Lin Changshun didn't say anything else.

But Lin Xiangxiang saw it. When he lowered his head, a fierce look flashed across his face.

Oh, he hates Lin Ping'an, right?

It was originally said with good intentions, but he didn't appreciate it, and he also grew to hate the only person who was kind to him.

Really, white-eyed wolf.

Lin Changshun ate two large bowls of dumplings here, talked to Lin Pingan for a while, and then left quickly.

When leaving, he even said thank you with envy, looking very grateful to Lin Ping'an and the others.

After seeing him off, Lin Xiangxiang looked out through the crack in the door and really saw the look he turned back to glare at.

Lin Changshun is indeed not a good person.

Lin Xiangxiang ran to the backyard again, climbed over the wall, and followed him quietly after going out.

After walking two steps, I felt someone behind me. When I turned around, I saw that it was Lin Sanchuan.

"Third brother?"

She was startled, and hurried over and asked in a low voice, "Why are you following me?"

Lin Sanchuan was also helpless, "I'm with you, you don't have to worry about me."

After everyone followed him, Lin Xiangxiang ignored him and let him follow.

The two of them quietly followed Lin Changshun, watched him walk halfway, took out the dumplings, ate more than half of them, left only a few and stuffed them back into his arms.
