After dressing as a widow

After traveling through it for so long, Lin Zhen has a thorough understanding of his face. It can't be relied on words such as "overwhelming country, overcast city, closed moon and shameful flowers", but the combination of eyebrows, eyes, lips and nose clearly tells a man to love me, If you want to hurt me, if you want to xxoo with me.

This face was not born on him, he would have some thoughts.

Lin Zhenhuluhulu drank a big mouthful of soup, put down the bowl and said to Aunt Lin: "If you meet again in the future and ask me if I will marry someone, just say that I will never forget my old love for Gu Da, and I have no such plan at present." nor.

He quietly added a sentence in his heart.

He really couldn't imagine the scene of a crying child popping out of his stomach, and occasionally thought of a chill down his spine.

Father Lin wanted to persuade him again, but Father Lin held his hand and shook his head.

The hot and spicy hot business is on the right track. The second brother Lin takes Lin Xiaoyao and him to the town in turn every day, and helps greet the guests by the way. As he said, ten yuan a day, and the child was paid another five yuan a day.

Lin's father specially cuts bamboo sticks and saws bamboo tubes, then scrubs the white film on the bamboo sticks and bamboo tubes, and dries them to remove the smell.

However, the profit of Malatang was higher in the first half a month, and then fell back to a stable one or two to one or two five renminbi a day. Excluding material and labor costs, Lin Zhen’s net profit per day was about seven renminbi, a month A full 20 taels of silver.

In the first month, Lin's family looked at the white money and felt that they were dreaming. Although it was not their own, it was what they earned, and they were also happy!

In the second month and the third month, they invariably asked Lin Zhen to hide the money. There is a saying that goes well, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it.

It was midsummer, and the sun in the sky made the trees and weeds slump, and the cicadas made noisy noises, which made the passers-by even more irritable.

Uncle Ji was holding an insole under the tree, chatting with Aunt Liu next to him, when suddenly a woman with a four or five-year-old child in a basket on her back asked at the intersection: "You two uncles, what are you doing?" I want to ask you the way."

When Uncle Ji saw the pannier on her back, he was inseparable: "You are here to sell dried bamboo shoots and mushrooms to Lin Zhen, aren't you?"

The young woman didn't expect it to be so smooth, she nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, I am from Wayao Village. I heard from people in our village that Lin's brother collects these things, so I specially recited them for him to see."

When he heard that it was from Wayao Village, Uncle Ji'a's knees became weak. Their carp village is considered remote, and the road in Wayao Village is even more difficult. This young woman is carrying things on her back and leading such a small child. I don't know how long it took to get there.

Uncle Ji pointed behind him: "Go straight along this road, turn left and go up when you reach the three-fork intersection, the second house next to the road is his house."

"Thank you, Uncle." The young woman pulled the straps on her shoulders and led the child away.

Uncle Ji looked at the backs of the mother and son, turned his head and said to Aunt Liu: "Who would have thought that brother Lin Jiazhen would be so promising. Last time we went to the town, we saw that so many things can be sold out in one day. Everyone reckons they can make half a penny a day."

"That's not it, and I'm much more sensible than before. He's diligent, sweet-mouthed, and very appropriate in handling things!" Aunt Liu's dried bamboo shoots and mushrooms were sold early on. The traces that Lin Zhen missed.

Uncle Ji nodded in agreement: "I met him in the field yesterday, and he greeted me with a smile like a flower. Oh, I'm still very happy after a long time."

Aunt Liu was not to be outdone, "I also met him this morning, just like you said, he is really the best brother!"

The two chatted here, and the young woman from Wayao Village successfully found Lin Zhen's house.

But it wasn't just her at the door of Lin Zhen's house, there were also people with baskets on their backs standing like her, and everyone came to sell things.

She was afraid that the Lin family would not accept them if they had collected enough, and that the things on her back would not be sold, so she was so anxious that she dragged the child to squeeze inside.

Suddenly, a voice came from the front: "Everyone, don't squeeze me here. These are all things that can be put away. We are doing long-term business, so we charge more."

"You first take the things to the open space next to me, and dump them into the dustpan so that we can see if the things are good and whether there are any insects. If there is no problem, you can come to me to collect the money."

I don't know who among the crowd said loudly: "Is the price the same as in your village?"

The young woman's heart was raised, Lin Zhen was from Liyu Village, and it was only human nature to give Liyu Village some benefits.

But the things she brought may not be able to exchange for that much money, and the money for the medicine for the child's father is not enough. If the medicine is not available...

The young woman firmly grasped the bag on her shoulder, and looked towards the talking Lin family.

Lin Zhen, holding a pen and booklet, said loudly, "It's all the same. Dried bamboo shoots cost one penny a catty, and dried mushrooms and dried fungus cost five pennies a catty."

When the young woman heard that the big stone in her heart fell to the ground, she finally showed relief on her distressed face.

She took the child to the place Lin Zhen pointed out to put down the basket, and patted her child on the back after the people in front finished checking: "You stand and wait for mother for a while, let's go home after selling things, okay?"

"Okay." The child with withered hair and a skinny head and belly nodded obediently, pulling the corner of the woman's clothes like a little tail with little sense of presence.

The young woman separated the dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots she brought into two dustpans, and said anxiously: "There is a bamboo forest on the mountain behind my house. These are the bamboo shoots I just dug this year. Can you use them, Uncle? "

Father Lin looked at the thin woman and the child holding her clothes, and lowered her voice, "Let me take a look."

He picked up the dried bamboo shoots and dried mushrooms with his hands, and the strong smell came out, especially the bamboo shoots, which looked more pleasing than other people's. The meat was thick, fat and tender, and it must be better when soaked in water.

Lin Adie said: "Your dried bamboo shoots and dried mushrooms are fine, let me see." He poured the things into his pocket and weighed them, and told the young woman the quantity, "[-] catties of dried bamboo shoots and nine catties of mushrooms, you go there Tell Brother Zhen, he will give the money after recording the account."

"Thank you uncle, thank you uncle!" The young woman couldn't help thanking her, and happily went to Lin Zhen with two bags.

She was the only one who brought the child here today, and Lin Zhen saw it at first sight, watching the child timidly hiding behind the woman, only revealing the patched clothes and the wrist that was so thin that almost no flesh could be seen, He said to Lin Xiaoyao behind him: "Pour a bowl of water for this child and add some sugar."

"Okay brother." Lin Xiaoyao is now looking forward to Lin Zhen, in his eyes, the most admired is Lin Zhen, put down the things, turn around and go to get a bowl to pour warm water, add brown sugar in it.

"Here, drink." Lin Xiaoyao handed a bowl full of sugar water to the child behind the young woman.

The child was afraid of being born, he didn't even dare to show his face, and he was completely surrounded by his mother.

For some reason, Lin Zhen suddenly thought of that brat Gu Shuanzi, compared to the kid in front of him, he was so fierce and ruthless that he dared to chop people with an axe.

It's been almost half a year since I went to his uncle's house, so nothing should have happened, right?
