After dressing as a widow

The old man's family who La Linzhen went to Tianwan Village before was also among the spectators. They saw Mrs. Ma sitting on the ground and crying. The old man's wife wiped her eyes and patted the hand of the youngest son next to her: "Finally Seeing that her family has retribution, Xiao Wan can close her eyes even in the sky."

The comforted young man gritted his teeth tightly. If it wasn't for Mrs. Ma and his son, he would have planned to go to Xiaowan's house next year to propose marriage and marry Xiaowan as his wife.

I hate that when Xiaowan died, there was no one around, and Ma Shi's son was allowed to pour dirty water on Xiaowan's body and forced Xiaowan's mother to death.

Even if he beat Ma Shi's son a few times while he was not paying attention, Xiao Wan would not come back to life, and the girl who would smile at him shyly and quietly would never be seen again.

The neatly laid tiles were stabbed clean by Lin Zhen and Lin's eldest brother Lin, and he escaped after learning that the bank note for depositing money was thrown into the brazier by Gu Shuanzi, so Lin Zhen only searched for him. His household registration and his original clothes and shoes were taken away.

The people in Tianwan Village were very relieved to see it, and they all clapped their hands and applauded.

"Which village is this guy from? He's so tempered!"

"Didn't you just say that it seems to belong to Liyu Village?"

"Liyu Village?" Some people often go to the town to do things, and they slapped their heads and remembered, "I'm afraid it's not the brother of the Lin family who made a lot of money selling spicy soup? I heard that his family collects dried bamboo shoots, dried fungus, and dried mushrooms. The price is generous, and some sensitive ones have been sold.”

"He's really capable."

"Having a brother like this is more effective than having several kids."

"By the way, did you hear what Xiaochang said just now? What can be done to fertilize the field and increase production..."

"I didn't hear clearly, we are so far away."

Lin Zhen only listened to these words, and put Gu Shuanzi into the back basket carried by Brother Lin and Brother Lin in turn as when he came here, and set foot on the road back to Liyu Village.

When they came, they thought of walking at night, so they specially prepared several torches.

And as soon as they walked out of the village entrance of Tianwan Village, they heard the rapid and loud sound of drumming. Usually, only when a major event happened in the village, such drumming would gather people together.

It seems that the head of Tianwan Village is also impatient, and he can't wait to tell the villagers about the composting.

-

The matter between Gu Shuanzi and Zhou Tao's family was over. Lin Zhen only mentioned a few words to the family members, telling them not to treat Gu Shuanzi like glass and porcelain, and to do whatever they want, otherwise they would let them Both sides are in a bind.

Then I took the money and went to the town clinic to pay for the medicine, and bought another pack of ginseng slices.

Of the more than 90 taels of silver that were originally saved, only a dozen or so taels are left, which is comparable to returning to the eve of liberation overnight.

But I have to say that there is a reason for the price, and after only four or five days, Gu Shuanzi's complexion improved a lot, and his face was flushed when he woke up in the morning.

Especially with his expressionless but ruddy face, Lin Zhen felt a little bit of being a father?

"What are you thinking about without blinking your eyes?" The snow has stopped for the past two days, and there is dripping snow everywhere. It is too difficult to push the cart to the town in such weather, Lin Really did not do business, rest at home.

Gu Shuanzi, who was wearing a blue padded jacket and wrapped his feet with medicine in cotton shoes, raised his eyes to look at him, and said for a long time, "The money my father left me is gone."

"I can't pay you now."

As Mrs. Ma asked Zhou Tao to move to the town, the places he could live were reduced by more than half. He had to stay in the same room with Mrs. Ma's second son who was originally locked up alone, and suffered more beatings.

The wounds on his face and body were from those days.

But this also gave him a chance to escape. On the day before Gu's death day, he finally took advantage of Ma and Zhou Tao's business trips to trick Zhou Wen that he could take him to the bank to get money, and even kept it a secret. All right, don't tell Ma Shi and Zhou Tao.

Zhou Wen had been spoiled by Mrs. Ma for a long time, and it got worse after arriving in the town. Somewhere, he became addicted to gambling. He had already stolen money twice to gamble while Mrs. Ma was not paying attention.

Ma Shi, Zhou Tao, and others didn't know about it, but Gu Shuanzi, who was in the same room with him, found clues.

As soon as Zhou Wen, who had an itchy forehand and no money, heard that he took him to get the money, he immediately dragged people out. He knew from Ma Shi's mouth before that Gu Shuanzi's stepfather was in the bank I have saved more than 400 taels of silver, and to withdraw the silver, I need a bank note, Gu Shuanzi, and a household registration.

Then Gu Shuanzi said embarrassingly that his hands and feet were tied, and going out would make people on the street suspicious. He was afraid that he would be questioned by the government on the way to collect the money, and Zhou Wen was tricked into untying the ropes on him.

Gu Shuanzi knew that the reason why Zhou Wen untied himself so easily was because he hadn't eaten for three days, and he was beaten up last night by the money loser, so he definitely didn't run away strength.

Therefore, he could only use the things Zhou Wen cared about most to attract his attention and buy himself time to escape.

He threw the banknote at the brazier, and ran out of Zhou's house while Zhou Wen was going to grab the banknote.

When Lin Zhen came back with his household registration that day, he also brought back the bank note, which was reduced by more than half, only a little as big as a palm, and the bank naturally couldn't recognize it, which was equivalent to the loss of his 480 taels of silver.

Lin Zhen didn't expect that the little brat has a big head, thinking about these things all day long.

"Do you think you can pay me back in the future?" Lin Zhen asked him.

Gu Shuanzi thought about it seriously: "Yes."

Lin Zhen stretched his waist: "That's fine."

"It's because your feet are hurting and uncomfortable these days. When you can go, you won't be able to bring food to your hands like these days. You, like Zhuzi Xingxiang and the others at home, do some capable work."

Lin Zhen felt that the child was unreasonably silent, and it was best to work with children of the same age to develop the child's nature.

The two were chatting one after another when Father Lin, who had gone outside, came back with a hoe on his shoulder: "The mud in the field is drier than the previous two days, and the fine soil can barely be sifted out, but it takes more time to sieve it." some effort."

The soil on the edge of the field was unusable. Not only was it wet from the melted snow, but it was also soaked by the water from the river next to it.

Only the soil in the wasteland on those slopes is relatively dry.

Lin Zhen took his hoe down, and said: "The weather this year is not as good as last year. Even if there is sun, it won't be sunny for long. If you can pile it up, you should pile it up as soon as possible, lest there is not enough time to burn the seedlings."

"Well, that's what I thought too. I told the village chief on the way home."

Next, every household in Liyu Village was busy. One by one, they huddled together in the Lin family's field to see how Lin's father was doing, from sifting soil to pouring dung water to mixing and piling together. Write down every movement of Father Lin.

And when it's time to compost at home, I can't wait to put Father Lin at home.

"Uncle Lin, how is the soil sifted? Is it a little rough?"

"Uncle Lin, is the manure water enough, do you want to add some more?"

"Uncle Lin, is the pile so high?"

"Uncle Lin..."

"Uncle Lin..."

The people of the Lin family have become a beautiful landscape in the village. The little ones like Xingxiang, Chunxiang and Huaixiang can fill their hands with things when they go out for a walk.

Two days later, people from Tianwan Village also came. They were all the strong laborers of the family. Everyone had no empty hands. They either took eggs or a catty or two of pork. The family conditions were really bad. I heard that Lin Zhen wanted to do it. I also brought a lot of dried bamboo shoots and mushrooms.

To Lin Zhen's surprise, the young woman who had come to sell dried bamboo shoots and mushrooms before also came, accompanied by a man whom she had met several times.

The two couples live in Wayao Village. There are only a dozen families in the village. One family is several hundred meters away from the other family. There are not many other barren hills and they live on the sorghum and buckwheat grown in the barren land.

Before, Lin Zhen felt that the woman was pitiful, and asked her to give him a bamboo tube. After a few months, the couple should have saved some money in their pockets, and their faces looked much better than before.

"Brother Lin, I'll come, you go and sit over there." The young woman took the basket of soil from Lin Zhen's hand as soon as she came up, and rushed to work.

Lin Zhen knows her temperament, and she is very good at soft and tough. If she is not allowed to do it until she can do it, she simply lets go: "Why don't you bring Xiaofeng here? He is alone at home and there is no one else. play with him."

"Yesterday, his father and I dug a lot of bamboo shoots. He rushed to cut the bamboo shoots and dry them at home, and asked me to tell you a word, saying that the bamboo shoots must be dried well and sold to you."

"Is the sun out over there?" Lin Zhen hated rainy days, especially the ones that didn't rain much but were annoying, and the soles of their feet rubbed against each other when they went down.

The young woman said: "The sun is shining well, and the rain is only a drizzle for an hour or two, which is the time when the bamboo shoots are sprouting."

"I have already discussed with the head of the family. Come and learn composting from Brother Lin. Next year, we will open up a few more acres of wasteland and have a good year."

The woman has a clear heart, if Lin Zhenfa hadn't been kind enough to accept her family's bamboo tube, she wouldn't know where to find her man's medicine money, and it's impossible to get better now.

So she is convinced by Lin Zhen one hundred and one thousand, as long as Lin Zhen does what she thinks is good, and let her man bring any wild game at home while it is fresh.

The young woman was talking to Lin Zhen, and her man silently followed her to work, without sacrificing any effort.

For half a month, an indescribable smell wafted over Liyu Village.

When another snow fell, the smell disappeared, leaving only one after another white dung piles, exuding heat.

It’s the 29th year of the new year, and every household has bought new year’s goods. The women and husbands are busy frying all kinds of meatballs and preparing for the New Year’s Eve.

Lin Zhen also went to town, put down his basket and waved to Gu Shuanzi, Chunxiang, Xingxiang, Huaixiang, and Fatie, who could walk: "Come here, I bought you a little thing."

Gu Shuanzi's feet were already healed, and he was a bit shorter than Zhuzi. When he saw Lin Zhen waving, he followed Lin Zhuzi and the others.
