After saying that, Lin Wumei kowtowed, helped the confused Su family and walked out, and refused the bowl of rice handed over by Wang Cuilan. The two of them walked slowly against the wind and snow. After the door closed, Lin Wumei relaxed and whispered: "Nai, the most this family can give us is this bowl of rice. If we continue to ask for it, it will be our fault if word spreads. Let's sell the bitter meat trick for two days, and then Go to the front door of his house and kneel down to ask for it. When you see it, will they give it to you?" Su Shi thought about it and realized that this was a good idea. They had been starving for several days and had become emaciated. They would kneel at the gate at noon to borrow food. No matter what they wanted, Lao Lin's family would give it to them. She laughed and patted Lin Wumei's hand: "Although you are a girl, you are very flexible. Eat half a potato tonight." "Thank you for the milk!" When Lin Wumei heard this, she smiled happily and said several words in a row that made Su smile. Then she went back to eat half a potato and told the Lin people and family the plan. "Okay, just do it." After listening to it, he thought about it carefully and found that the plan was good. Lin Min nodded and said nothing to Lin Wumei for eating an extra potato. He asked Xiaoqiao to hide the new year's goods and rations he bought, leaving only the Put it on the bright side. He also told Lin Mingze to hide with Lao Lin's family in two days. If a debt collector comes to him, he will refuse to admit it and let Lao Lin's family take the lead. Who wants them to have so many sons? There are so many people, how can we stop the debt collectors?
"to make." Lin Mingze responded absently, but he was thinking about whether he should continue playing cards in the afternoon. He won a drink last time, and he could win more this time. "Just left like that?" Fang Hongying asked in disbelief: "I thought it would be at least as long as before." "It's not a good idea to leave. What are you thinking about?" Seeing that the person left, Lin Yuandong immediately breathed a sigh of relief. When Lin Yuandong heard what his wife said, he quickly said "poof" on the ground. He patted Hongying on the shoulder: "Heat some water. After washing your feet, let's go back to bed." He greeted his two sons, then returned to the backyard room and sat on the kang. He felt that something was wrong. But I can't figure out what's wrong. Knowing that he was not very smart, his mind was not flexible and his mind was not very clear, Lin Yuandong did not think too much about it. Anyway, the third child, Lin Yuannan, would definitely be able to figure out things that he could not figure out. "Sister, let's go back." Sanfu frowned. He stared at the closed door. He thought for a long time and couldn't figure out the reason why the two people left so easily, so he was ready to take Lin Xiangrong back to rest. "I'll have a chat with Nai. Third brother, please go back first." Seeing that the people in the house were almost gone, Lin Xiangrong threw herself into the arms of Wang Cuilan, who was scolding Lin Yuandong, blinked her beautiful big eyes and asked: "Mistress, why are the third wife and Wu sister gone?" Walking too easily makes people feel guilty. "I don't know about this breast either." But just leave. However, the bowl of rice was not taken away. Wang Cuilan felt panicked, fearing that something would happen to her family again. She glared at Lin Dawei: "You actually want to give them our New Year's goods as required!" Lin Dawei, who only knew that he was smoking leaf cigarettes with his head down, stretched out his hand to wave the smoke he exhaled. He frowned: "Otherwise, just watch the third brother and sister kneeling on the ground crying? What kind of words will this spread out!" "You also know it's not good to spread the word! You still have to accept it. If you accept it, what do you want the third child to do!" Wang Cuilan was so angry that she put her granddaughter on the kang and grabbed the cigarette in Lin Dawei's hand. He dodged sideways and patted Lin Xiangrong's head again: "Okay, it's nothing. Tomorrow I will go over and deliver a bowl of rice, two more potatoes and some vegetables, which will be enough for their family for a period of time." Just time will do.” "Master, we must be on guard against others. We can be kind, but we cannot always be kind. There is a saying in the book that people will be bullied if they are kind. If we continue to give in without a bottom line, people will only bully us more and more. " Lin Xiangrong hugged Lin Dawei's hand and rubbed it. She didn't understand the thoughts of the older generation, but if she thought about it carefully, people of this generation valued family ties and the relationship between neighbors, and it was normal for them to get carried away.
She made a comment, but was interrupted by Wang Cuilan. "Hmph, dear grandson, don't talk to him so much. He's just an illiterate idiot. Come on, I'll take you back to sleep." He picked up his granddaughter and wrapped her in his coat and went to the west wing. When they entered the room, Lin Yuan Nan was discussing with Zhou Zhaodi about borrowing food today. The third rich man, who was not very old but could be regarded as a labor force, was speaking loudly. Make up your mind. Seeing her holding Lin Xiangrong in her arms, they all stopped talking. Wang Cuilan snorted when she saw this: "What are we discussing?" Then she put her little granddaughter down in her arms and pinched her face: "I don't even know how to pick up my good granddaughter." Lin Xiangrong smiled brightly at her, turned around and threw herself into San Fu's arms. She took an orange from him and took a bite, her face twisted with soreness: "Third brother, it's so sour." Sanfu, who deliberately handed her a sour orange, laughed. "We didn't discuss anything. Mom, how did you and Dad discuss it?" Lin Yuannan pretended to be stupid and smiled, then turned around and asked the old couple what they thought. The result was an eye roll. "What do you think? After all, they are your father's younger siblings. No matter what happens tomorrow, you have to send some food rations there. Okay, you guys go to bed early." Wang Cuilan was upset, so she said a casual word and left. The room became quiet again, with only the sounds of Lin Xiangrong and Sanfu playing around. The two jumped on the kang, and were soon sent to bed by Zhou Zhaodi. When she woke up, Lin Dawei had already delivered a basket of rations. Lin Xiangrong heard what Sanfu said and didn't pay much attention. She ate something and sat on a stool to weave the basket in a decent manner. From time to time, I chatted with Lin Lili who was reading the newspaper. Seeing her little niece weaving a basket with a bulging face, her little fleshy hands used bamboo strips to weave a rough shape very deftly, and then quickly perfected it according to the idea. Lin Lili put down the newspaper and walked over to help her weave together. "It's amazing." Lin Lili said with a smile: "You can support your own family at such a young age. Our family Rong Rong will definitely be the best in the future." She thought for a moment: "You will go to school in two years, right?" "Well, after the Chinese New Year, my mother said she would take me to apply for a certificate so that I can go to school." Lin Xiangrong pumped her fist excitedly: "I heard from my third brother that the school is great and has everything." Seeing that she was not against going to school at all, Lin Lili breathed a sigh of relief. She picked up her little niece after weaving the basket, grabbed the newspaper and pointed at the words on it to teach her one word at a time. Unexpectedly, she found that she learned it quickly and basically followed it. Read it once and you will remember it. Lin Lili's eyes lit up: "It seems that there is a little literary star in our family!"
