After dressing as a widow

There were a lot of people sitting under the eaves, and it was almost impossible to squeeze out. Lin Zhen took the basin and asked them to let them out, and then pulled out the tender cabbage seedlings in the wooden bucket in the last light of day.

The cabbage seedlings, which were only ten days old, broke with a light fingernail, and a fresh vegetable smell radiated from the fracture.

Since the vegetables he planted in the wooden barrels have grown, Aunt Ma and Uncle Jia who came to see them also found a few unusable wooden pots and wooden barrels to plant some. There is food to eat.

In fact, this is as simple as tending flowers and plants, but during the drought, everyone was anxious to fill their stomachs, so I didn't expect this level.

The pot was filled with cabbage seedlings from two wooden barrels. Lin Zhen brought the cabbage in and cooked a large pot of cabbage and fungus soup. The emerald green color and dark brown fungus make people appetite.

There are also fried fungus made by Lin Xiaoyao, fried dried bamboo shoots, and cold salted dried vegetables.

"It's time to eat!" Lin Zhen shouted to the people sitting under the eaves, picking up a pottery pot with vegetables. They all started to pull up the table to get the chairs, to get the bowls and chopsticks from the cabinet, and then put the steamed food into the pot. Bring all the rice over.

There were more than 20 people from the Lin family, people from Tenth Xiaoqi, Zhong Yan, Wang Qin, Huang Yuwen, and Grandma Zhong. They couldn't fit at one table, so they were divided into two tables.

There is an older table and a younger table. Although Lin Zhen is not very old, he is already the elder of many children present, and he sits at the table with Lin Xiaoyao, Grandma Lin, Father Lin.

At the other table were Gu Lin, Wang Qin, Huang Yuwen, Zhong Yan, the younger ones at home, and several soldiers from the Tenth Small Banner.

Lin Zhen first filled a bowl of cabbage and fungus soup for Father Lin and Grandma Zhong. Father, try it."

Among other things, it is already a rarity to eat fresh cabbage at this time.

Mrs. Zhong's grandma Lin Atai took a sip from the bowl, and felt an incomparable taste of dried vegetables filled her lips and tongue. The fresh and tender cabbage seedlings were cooked just right, with a crunchy texture, and the chewing taste was particularly sweet, salty and fragrant. .

No need to say anything, just watch the three of them quickly finish a bowl of cabbage and fungus soup to know how delicious it is.

Brother Lin also scooped up a shallow bowl, as if eating some delicacies from mountains and seas.

The Lin family is bustling and bustling, very conspicuous in the quiet village, as if they have returned to the time when there was no drought, every household is immersed in the joy of autumn harvest that should be in this season, counting how many bags of grain at home, and taking them to the town How much money can be exchanged, next year it is time to give the son, daughter, mother and brother a visit at home...

After the meal, Lin Zhen and other adults did not move, and Gu Lin led a group of fourteen or fifteen-year-old children to collect the dishes and clean the table.

The weather in late autumn has already cooled down, and the sun is unbearable during the day, but it is unbearable at night.

Lin Zhen rubbed his arm with goose bumps from the wind, and went back to the room to get a thicker dress. Suddenly, he saw that the clothes on the bedside were not his size. After thinking about it, he went outside and called Gu Lin: "Gu Lin, I have your clothes, come and get them."

Gu Lin, who was talking with Zhong Yan, Wang Qin, Huang Yuwen, and Zhang Tie, heard his voice and turned to look at him. He stood up tall and thin, and walked in front of him with two long legs.

He was still wearing the black short brown suit he wore when he left the Lin family last time. He hadn't washed or changed clothes, so he smelled bad.

Lin Zhen had never seen him wear a piece of clothing for more than a day before. Seeing him standing in front of him with a serious face, he remembered that when he was in Fucheng, he would take a shower every morning and evening, and wash with his sleeves rolled up. Change clothes.

"After making clothes before, there was still some fabric left at home. I took it to Aunt Ma and Aunt Liu, and asked them to make a dress for you and Zhong Yan, Wang Qin and Huang Yuwen. You can bring it."

When he was talking, Gu Rin's eyes never left him, and the day when he left suddenly flashed in his mind that he couldn't help but hug him for a moment, just wanted to untie his hairband for a thought, but made himself weird .

Gu Lin couldn't help looking at Lin Zhen's face. The face was small, the skin was very white, and the eyes were round and childish, but the tails of the eyes were charming.

The nose is straight and the lips are slightly full.

And his hair was tied high on the top of his head, braided and rolled into balls, tied with a hair tie, revealing a slender neck that was as white as his face.

Gu Lin suddenly felt the same strange state as that day appeared again.

He didn't forget Lin Zhen's angry expression after such a situation happened to him that day, he lowered his head and clutched the clothes in his hands tightly, and said with a tight throat, "Okay."

In order to prevent him from being like that day, Lin Zhen deliberately did not close the door of the room. Seeing him looking down at the clothes in his hands, Lin Zhen thought he wanted to change clothes, and said: "You still live in the two rooms before. If you want to change, you can change." Change it, there is water in the river, you can wash your old clothes."

Gu Lin nodded: "Yes."

Lin Zhen turned around and went out. Gu Lin took the clothes to the room where they lived before and closed the door.

He took off the black clothes he had been wearing for several days, and the light honey-colored upper body no longer had the cloth strips wrapped around the wound, revealing the criss-cross wounds that hadn't fully healed.

Clear clavicle, straight shoulders, thin waist and abdomen with a thin and well-proportioned muscle, extending down to the trouser waist.

But at this moment, there are obvious signs under the waist and abdomen.

Gu Lin's ears were so red that he was about to bleed. He changed his clothes and sat on the bed for a while, then came out with the dirty clothes, and said to Lin Zhen in a slightly hoarse voice: "Uncle Lin, I'm going to wash clothes by the river."

Lin Zhen raised his head and hadn't spoken yet, but Gu Lin had already walked away with his clothes on.

After a while, Father Lin suddenly said, "Shuanzi didn't bring saponin powder with him when he went to do the laundry, did he wash it clean?"

"..." As for his clothes that have been worn for many days, soaking in water may not even wash off the smell.

Lin Zhen got up and picked up the saponin powder packed in a bamboo tube from the corner, "I'll send it to him."

"Take the lantern."

"No, the moon is bright today, so I can see the road clearly." I was worried about the refugee army at first, but now the refugee army has been wiped out by Gu Lin and the others, and I am not afraid of walking outside.

Lin Zhen held saponin powder in one hand, and folded a long hair grass in the other hand to play with. This river that runs through the entire Liyu Village is called Xiaoqiao River, because both Upper Liyu Village and Lower Liyu Village are It is built along the river, so every household is not far from the river, and it takes only three to five minutes.

Lin Zhen heard the sound of water from a distance, he walked a few steps forward, and was about to call out to Gu Lin, but his throat seemed to be choked, and he couldn't say a word.

Under the bright moonlight, a figure stood up from the river.

The cold moonlight fell on the figure, enough for people to see what his naked body looked like.

xxxxx! ! !

The grass and soap locust powder in Lin Zhen's hand fell to the ground, and he turned around and ran away.

Gu Lin, who deliberately found a place downstream to take a bath, heard the sound and instantly locked on to the figure who was only more than 20 steps away from him, and immediately recognized who it was, and the temperature on his body rose rapidly.

Thinking that what he did just now might be seen by Uncle Lin, he showed the embarrassment that rarely appeared on his face, grabbed his clothes and quickly put them on.

Gu Lin walked to the place where Uncle Lin was standing just now, pursed his lips, picked up the bamboo tube with the lid on the ground, opened it, and found that the brown saponin powder inside was fine, exuding a light smell.

It turned out that Uncle Lin had just brought him saponin powder. Gu Lin held the saponin powder and went back to the place where the villagers washed their clothes with two large stone slabs, scooped up water and poured it into the basin.

The clothes and trousers were rubbed clean, and Gu Lin took the clothes back. There was still a conspicuous layer of red on his face, neck and neck, and it was hard for anyone not to notice.

Father Lin looked at him: "Shuanzi, why are you feeling so red?"

Gu Lin had a solemn face, the expression was the same as before, "No, walk faster."

"How come you are like your father, you can walk so little from our house to the river, and you can get blushing and neck red."

"..." Uncle Lin was the same as him.

Gu Lin's heart was beating, and he answered twice, twisting the water from the wet clothes into the basin, and hanging them on the pole in the yard.

That night, both Gu Lin and Lin Zhen didn't sleep well, especially Lin Zhen, he wished he could pat himself to death for giving away saponin powder, and give away whatever, wouldn't it be good to let that little bastard wear dirty clothes?

After prying again and again, Lin Zhen could no longer treat Gu Lin as a child, but the impact of that scene last night was too great for him. He kicked the quilt a few times irritably, and shook his head trying to get rid of Gu Lin in his mind. Throw things out.

He didn't sleep well at night, Lin Zhen got up late the next day, and when he got up, he heard Father Lin and the others say that Gu Lin had left with the tenth Xiaoqi and Wang Qin and Huang Yuwen.

He was stunned for a moment with his toothbrush in his mouth, and continued to brush his teeth.

Zhong Yan didn't know when he would come out, and supported Grandma Zhong: "Uncle Lin, thank you for your family's care these days. Now that the town is safe, grandma and I will go back today."

Lin Zhen quickly brushed his teeth and stood up: "The town is empty now, how will you two, grandpa and grandson, live?"

He went on to say, "Well, first, you carry a sack of grain here and go back to deal with it. With your talent and learning, there must be a place for you in the town now. Just return it when you have spare grain."

Lin Zhen knew that with Zhong Yan's temperament, he would definitely not accept the word "send".

And as I said, with Zhong Yan's status as a juror, it is quite easy to find a job in the county government, and it is only a matter of time before the food is paid.

If he didn't speak, Zhong Yan, who also planned to borrow food, saluted Lin Zhen, "Thank you, Uncle Lin, for solving my urgent need."

"Tell me what to say thank you, and it's not the first day we met, little..." Lin Zhen wanted to call Xiaoyao, but immediately stopped talking, and said, "I'll bring you a backpack and food, You walk slowly on the road, and you can arrive before dark."

As far as Zhong Yan's body and bones are concerned, he can't compare with the old man, and he must not be able to walk fast while carrying things on his back.
