Chapter 24 Clarifying Rumors Of course, Dani and Erni didn't hear anything. They had a little fight before running outside to clean up the house.
Their future seems to be in sight.
Winter is approaching, and there are already signs of snow. After the autumn harvest, only the root-throwers are left in the field. The rest are resting aside. A few people are talking about the bad harvest this year and what they should do to support their families in winter. .
The end of the year is about to be divided into work points, and when it comes to money, someone mentioned the old Lin family selling ginseng.
"Have you heard that Lao Lin's family made a thousand yuan from selling ginseng?" An aunt holding the soles of her shoes couldn't help but murmured: "1000 yuan! How much does it cost to build a house now? This can build several blue brick houses. Big tile house?"
Nowadays, people who work in the town only earn more than 40 yuan a month, which is still a lot. Some people work for less than 30 to 1000 yuan. This [-] yuan is enough to buy a house in the town and live comfortably.
Who wouldn't be jealous after hearing this?
"One thousand?!" An old woman opened her eyes wide and asked in disbelief: "Where is this old money?"
"Yes." An old man rolling a cigarette said: "I heard that they were sold in the town and sold for a lot of money. No wonder everyone in the old Lin family was walking around with wind during this period. It turned out that they sold for so much money. "
Oh, now the people gathered together started talking about it.
"Hey, stop talking, people are coming."
Several people came back together from work. Wang Cuilan had a pulled face and looked in a bad mood. She was obviously thinking about the fact that ginseng was spread everywhere in the village and bought a lot of money.
Wang Cuilan asked several sisters in succession and got the same answer.
This made Wang Cuilan very angry.
Everyone knows about the co-authorship, but no one in the old Lin family knows about it.
There was an aunt who was not afraid of trouble. When Wang Cuilan and Lin Dawei approached, she raised her voice and asked: "Aunt Wang, I heard that your family sells ginseng for 1000 yuan. Hey, why don't the money go to the town?"
Wang Cuilan's eyelids twitched with anger, and she replied angrily: "One thousand? Where did you get 1000 yuan? Why didn't I know?"
She strode over, her menacing look frightening everyone to the point of standing up. The lady who asked the question even had her mouth twisted. Thinking of Wang Cuilan's fierce character, she regretted it for a moment.
"1000 yuan, fart! I've never seen 1000 yuan in total, how can you guys be so frivolous?!" Wang Cuilan cursed: "Who on earth spread the rumor? I won't let him know His face was torn to pieces."
This was Wang Cuilan's curse, and Lin Dawei did not stop him for the first time. He even rolled a leaf cigarette and sat with a few old men beside him.
"I don't know who has a conscience. He said that our house was sold for 1000 yuan, but it really doesn't give people a way to survive. How can it be so much? It's only a few dozen yuan at most, which is enough to send a few children to school."
As he spoke, he lit himself a cigarette with a match.
Several other old men asked: "Brother, tell us the truth, do you really not know where this letter came from?"
"How do we know? Our eldest daughter-in-law heard this when she went out. If not, we would have to take the blame."
Lin Dawei smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "There is a lesson from heaven and earth. Our family can withstand the investigation of the captain."
After hearing this, several old men believed him a lot and told him some news.
It turns out that this news has been circulating in Xingjia Village for several days. Counting the time, it seems that it started spreading shortly after returning from town.
No one cared about it at first, but the more I told it, the more people started to believe it.
Wang Cuilan cursed for a while, then sat down to chat with these ladies, telling them her family affairs calmly.
On the other side, in order not to cause trouble to their own families, several people spread the news while working.
The words were spoken very loudly, and after making sure that everyone around them heard them, he shut up. He only mentioned them from time to time and scolded the person who spread the gossip a few words before leaving work.
When they arrived at the door of the house, Lin Yuanxi and Lin Yuannan looked at each other and entered the house after realizing that what they said was okay. [Dad, you are back. 】
As soon as he entered the house, the heat hit his face. Lin Yuannan took off his cotton coat. After washing his hands, he heard his little daughter calling him.
He responded, wiped his hands with a torn towel, walked to a corner of the room, and looked down at the small cradle that had been used by several children in turn.
Lin Xiangrong stared at him with a pair of big, round eyes. As time passed, she had changed from a small dumpling at the beginning to a larger dumpling.
The cloth used for swaddling was also changed a few times, and Wang Cuilan piled all the good things on Lin Xiangrong.
"Baby girl."
As time went by, Lin Yuannan also learned to call Lin Xiangrong "baby". He reached out and picked up Lin Xiangrong. After shaking it, he carefully took something out of his pocket and shook it: "Dad picked it up on the road. .”
It was a little cloth tiger. It looked brand new and seemed to be a toy that a child accidentally lost.
Lin Yuannan picked it up and waited for a while. When no one came to look for it, he brought it back to his daughter to play with.
【Buhu! 】
Lin Xiangrong stretched out her little hands and hugged Xiao Buhu, but her hands were weak and she could only use her two small arms to restrain him.
[Thank you, Dad. 】
After thanking him happily, Lin Xiangrong lowered his head and looked at Buhu seriously, and unknowingly showed a bright smile.
The few people in the room who were listening to the sound were chatting about their own things, but their eyes were all looking this way.
Lin Yuanxi stared at it for a while, then turned to look at his two girls who were cooking the food over the fire, and couldn't help but curl his lips.
This good thing was all taken up by the third child.
"I came back late."
Zhou Zhaodi came into the house after a busy day, her cheeks were red from the cold, her long hair was tied into a big braid and swung behind her. She was not tall but very thin. As soon as she came in, she helped cook and take care of the baby.
"You don't have to cook, just go feed the good baby."
Seeing Zhou Zhaodi busy working without touching the floor, she was so tired that she could hardly open her eyes. Wang Cuilan rushed her to feed Lin Xiangrong, took over the work herself, and quickly cooked the dishes for the whole family.
"Boss and wife, come out for dinner!"
Wang Cuilan shouted loudly, and the loud voice was heard in the backyard, which shows how loud her voice was.
[Ouch, my voice is so loud, my ears are ringing. 】
Lin Xiangrong covered her ears with her little hands, her face wrinkled, and she turned her head away. She didn't want to breastfeed for the time being, but just wanted to soothe her ears.
Wang Cuilan paused, showed an embarrassed smile, and spoke in a quiet tone: "I won't be working in a few days, and we will discuss how to spend the winter."
Several people responded and sat at the dining table waiting for the meal to be served.
After a while, Fang Hongying came over, her expression a little awkward. She glanced at Wang Cuilan, and quickly sat down and made a meal for Lin Yuandong. She also took out some dishes and put them aside, and wanted to bring them to Lin Yuandong after the meal. Yuandong eats.
"This year's harvest is not good. Someone asked the team leader that the converted money is not as much as in previous years. Moreover, the leadership team will come to the town for inspection in a few days."
