After dressing as a widow

There are a lot of people in the family, so Lin Zhen specially made a big pot full. When Lin Xiaoyao came back, everyone was having a lively meal. Lin Zhen, who had already put Gu Shuanzi down, waved to him: "Come here and eat while it's hot, Aunt Ma Have you eaten with Uncle Ma too?"

The room is full of sweet smell, taking a sip is full of happiness.

After a good year, Lin Xiaoyao was still craving extravagant sweetness, took a bite of candied sweet potato and said, "When I went, Uncle Ma just came back from outside, they said it was delicious, and asked me to say thank you .”

The taste of oil and sugar can't be replaced by other things. Lin Xiaoyao's eyes almost narrowed, and she couldn't wait to take a second bite: "It's delicious, sweet and fragrant!"

"Eat as much as you want, you take the sweet potatoes and candied haws outside, play with Shuanzi Zhuzi and the others, and I will cook tonight's dishes with my sister-in-law and second sister-in-law."

"Okay." Lin Xiaoyao picked up the pot containing candied sweet potatoes, and called Gu Shuanzi and Lin Zhuzi. The group of dolls have been completely subdued by candied sweet potatoes. Thinking of the sweet and sour candied haws, It's even more salivating.

Lin Zhen was still wearing an apron around his waist. While ladling water into the pot to wash off the syrup sticking to the pot, he said to Sister-in-law Lin, Er-sister-in-law Lin: "The three of us discussed the dishes to be cooked last night. Sister-in-law, you go and put that Just bring the cured pig’s feet that have been smoked during the New Year, wash them, cut them into small pieces and cook them in the stove next to them, Second Sister-in-Law, you go to the field and pull out two handfuls of cabbage seedlings.”

"Okay, I'll go get the pig's feet right now." Mrs. Lin was still counting on Lin Zhen to take care of her child, and when she heard that Lin Zhen wanted the pig's feet, she went to get them without saying a word.

The second sister-in-law Lin also went to pick vegetables in the vegetable field with a bamboo basket on her shoulders.

Dusk fell quietly, and the roofs of every house were lit with white smoke, which was blown into the air by the wind.

After two hours of busy work, Lin Zhen, Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Lin, and Father Lin, who cooked nine dishes and one soup, did not feel tired, but rather satisfied.

According to what he said yesterday, Lin Zhen divided the meal into two tables, one for the adults and one for the children. The dishes on the children's table were slightly different, and two of them were replaced with sweet and sour pork ribs and brown sugar glutinous rice cakes.

Except for Brother Lin's youngest Tie Dan, who just learned to walk, and Brother Lin's youngest kid who couldn't hold the bowl steadily, all the other children went to that table.

They have never been so free before, yelling at themselves to add rice and get chopsticks, so happy that the roof will be lifted.

What Father Lin and Father Lin at the adults' table have been asking for all their lives is to see the children and grandchildren under their knees doing well, looking at their table with the most obvious smiles on their faces.

Lin Zhen, who just got up and went to the house, came out with a small jar and put it on the table: "Rice wine, the wine shop just made it a few days ago, and the shopkeeper said it was when it was soft, and the girls and brothers could drink a few sips." .”

Wine needs food to be brewed, and it is an expensive thing no matter where it is. Lin's father and Lin's eldest brother, Lin's second brother, only drank it at some banquets, and their eyes were straightened when they saw the wine.

Lin Zhen smiled and poured small, half-sized bamboo cups for each of the people on the table, swept them around and said, "It's been a year and a half since I came back, and I haven't really sat down to talk with you. Father and father, elder brother, second brother, elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law have a good meal, today we must eat and drink happily."

Father Lin looked at him, not to mention feeling emotional in his heart.

Since childhood, Lin Zhen was the one he loved the most, but he was ignorant and made his own way to get together with the young master of the Qian family, making them unable to hold their heads up in the village.

Before he could complain about his son, he heard that Lin Zhen had been divorced by the Qian family, and not long after, he entered the Gu family and became Gu Da's successor.

He couldn't sleep all day and all night, because he was afraid that his son would have a bad life. When he heard that Gu Da had died, he was afraid that he would not be able to stand up to the evil relatives of the Gu family. The purpose of offering incense is to let others know that his son also has a natal family, so that people can't bully him without knowing it.

Father Lin couldn't notice it, because he cared about Lin Zhen, and Mrs. Lin had an opinion.

But what can be done, it is a piece of meat that fell from his body, and he can't really ignore it.

Fortunately, this child knew his way back, and after he came back, he completely changed, and his life became more and more prosperous.

Big brother Lin faced Lin Zhen with some shame, obviously the third younger brother had found a way for Zhuzi of his family, and Zhuzi agreed, but his wife was fascinated by the money, and wanted to send Zhuzi away.

Although Lin Zhen never said anything, Brother Lin couldn't get over this hurdle anyway.

Lin's second brother and Lin's second sister-in-law didn't think too much, they only thought that today's food was really good, and Lin Zhen who brought all this was even better, looking at Lin Zhen, his eyes were staring.

A table, several thoughts, Lin Zhen held up the bamboo cup: "Come, let's have a drink together!"

This was his first drink in this world, and he couldn't wait.

Back then, he was a famous drinker, and he never missed a group of friends. Beer, white wine, foreign wine, and wheel battles never drank him!

His words interrupted the different thoughts on the table, and they bumped into him holding a glass.

-

The alcohol content of wine without distillation is limited, and the alcohol content is only a little bit higher than that of beer, so it is natural not to get drunk.

But Lin Zhen's body is not as good as before, and he sleeps in a daze until ten o'clock the next morning. He looks at the simple thatched roof above his head and the table next to his face. Shaking.

Suddenly, the thin straw and muddy walls were knocked, and Lin Huaixiang called him through the wall: "Auntie, are you awake?"

"Wake up, what's wrong?"

"Uncle asked me to come and tell you that everything is almost packed, when will you wake up and leave."

Lin Zhen slapped his head, and then remembered that he told his family before drinking last night that if the weather is good today, he will go to the town.

He got up from the bed as soon as he rolled over, put on his clothes, pants and shoes in a hurry, and grabbed a handful of hair while walking: "Go and tell your uncle, I'm up, and I'll come right away."

"Okay." Lin Huaixiang ran away and talked to Lin Xiaoyao in the yard.

When Lin Zhen walked out of the room, he saw the brilliant sunlight projecting down from the blue sky, illuminating the room brightly, and the fine dust floating in the light and shadow seemed to be dyed with light.

The weather is so good that even the water in the tank by the wall has warmed up a little.

He didn't bother to boil hot water anymore, so he filled his large bamboo cup full of water, poured a little green salt on the toothbrush, and walked to the vegetable field on the right side of the yard: "Daddy Xiaoyao, what are you doing?" Don't call me?"

Before he came, none of the family members had the habit of brushing their teeth and rinsing their mouths, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

Only after he spread the word repeatedly did he realize how important it is to brush his teeth. Now the Lin family has a big bamboo cup and a bristle toothbrush.

Father Lin watched him gruntingly brushing his teeth, and said, "Anyway, we're going to go with you to the store today. There are many people and things can be done quickly. There's no shortage of time for this."

"By the way, I steamed two steamed buns for you on the stove, one for meat and one for vegetables, and two boiled eggs."

"Thank you dad." Brushing your teeth with green salt is naturally not as good as toothpaste, and the taste is a bit weird. If you brush your teeth for a long time, you will feel nauseous.

Lin Zhen rinsed off the slightly bitter taste in his mouth, and said to Aunt Lin: "I'll take the buns and eggs and leave, and eat as I go."

Small carts, clay pots, stoves, dried mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, cabbage and other vegetables prepared to sell for five days, as well as clothes and shoes for Lin Zhenlin, Lin Xiaoyao, Lin Zhuzi, Gu Shuanzi, etc.

Lin Zhen, who came out with the buns, saw Adie Lin and Brother Lin and the others going to town with a pole, and his first thought was to borrow an ox cart.

But Liyu Village is too poor, and up to now only Li Jiu has a mule, but since Li Jiu and Lin Xiaoyao failed to make it, it is naturally impossible to borrow it.

At that time, it is easy to ask God, but it is difficult to send God away, and that will be troublesome.

He ate the buns and eggs in two or three bites, and carried a packed basket on his back: "Let's go."

At the same time, he thought in his heart that when the business in the town stabilized, he still had to find a way for Big Brother Lin and Second Brother Lin to earn more money, renovate the family house, and buy a cow or a donkey.

Father Lin and Father Lin are getting older, so they don't have to work so hard because they have livestock to help.

Except Mrs. Lin stayed at home to take care of a few children, everyone else followed. About ten of them were carrying poles on their backs, and they were pushing a small cart that everyone in the village knew had made money. As soon as they left, someone asked: "Uncle Lin, what are you doing here?"

Lin's father was carrying the lightest clothes on his back, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were much lighter: "Brother Zhen is going to the town to do business, and we will send things with him."

"Brother Zhen also went to the town before, and there was no such a big battle?"

"Our village is too far away from the town, and most of the time is wasted on the road. Brother Zhen thought about renting a shop in the town, which would be more convenient."

"I rented a house in the town!" The eyes of the person who asked the question widened. They only went to the town once or twice a year, or they didn't go at all, and just wandered around the fields.

Those who can live in the town, they have a family here, they have enough food and clothing, and they can still eat two meals. People with big rice are different from them.

I knew before that Brother Lin's family had made money, so I didn't know that he could live in the town.

"Uncle Lin, you gave birth to a capable brother, this one!" The person who asked the question gave a thumbs up, looking at Lin Zhen as if looking at a gold ingot.

His mind turned quickly, and he asked Lin Zhen loudly: "Brother Zhen, is there a shortage of people to work in your place?"

"Small business, just enough to support a few mouths, how dare you hire someone to work," Lin Zhen smiled and changed the subject, "It rained well a few days ago, I think your seedlings are very green, and this year will definitely Can you charge a few more loads?"

The person who asked the question smiled: "Thanks to your family's composting method, my land has not been well grown in previous years, but this year it is comparable to a medium field!"
