"coming!"
Lin Xiangrong responded loudly, quickly rubbing the clothes in her hands and twisting them again, but she was too weak to wring out the water. She puffed up her cheeks and snorted angrily: "Brother, this is how you wash it. Have you remembered?"
The water in the river was cold. After rubbing a piece of clothing, Lin Xiangrong's hands were slightly red, but she shook the water on her hands carelessly. She didn't know if she noticed Liu Meng standing behind her, and directly shook Liu Meng's water.
"what!"
Liu Meng screamed and wiped the water off his face: "Why did you throw the water on my face?"
He had noticed that Liu Meng had come back to hide behind him, so he deliberately dumped her in the water. Lin Xiangrong innocently looked back and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't find you."
That sincere apology made Liu Meng angry. She had been favored in the past few years, and her heart was as high as the sky. Seeing Lin Xiangrong's insincere apology, she stretched out her hand to push her.
It's normal for children to fight, and it's normal for children to accidentally push into the water. She can't be blamed.
"Hey!" Lin Xiangrong exclaimed, dodged as expected, and jumped behind Lu Xiao.
"Why are you pushing someone?" Lin Xiangrong grabbed Lu Xiao's clothes, stuck her head out from behind him, and said softly: "I apologized, why did you push me?"
Lu Xiao stood up suddenly. He had low blood sugar due to not eating for a day. His vision went dark and he almost fell to the ground. Lin Xiangrong calmly supported his body, and he stood still after shaking.
Hearing this, Lu Xiao turned around and took a look at Lin Xiangrong. Unexpectedly, she was able to observe people's emotions at such a young age, and was very considerate. Her choice of hiding behind him was also very correct.
This made Lu Xiao feel a little fond of Lin Xiangrong.
"You..." Liu Meng gritted his teeth and wanted to argue, but he was afraid of affecting Lu Xiao's impression of him, so he swallowed the curse and followed Lin Xiangrong's example, looking at Lu Xiao with innocent eyes: "Okay, I accept your apology. I didn't mean to push you when I was angry just now. It's my fault."
"Brother Xiao, let me help you wash your clothes." The conversation turned to Lu Xiao, which showed that Liu Meng had never forgotten the purpose of approaching Lu Xiao.
"No need." Lu Xiao shook his head: "I'm going back later."
Just as his vision went dark, Lu Xiao knew that he could put away his clothes before washing them, but he had to eat dinner.
Tonight's meal has not yet been provided. He and Ruan Qing cannot continue to be hungry. If this continues, people will suffer from hunger problems. He is going to dig some wild vegetables in the mountains. If he is lucky, he can also catch some wild mushrooms to eat. At least first. Fill the stomach.
"Oh, okay then." Liu Meng could only nod in agreement, staring pitifully and regretfully at Lu Xiao's back as he left with half-washed clothes in his arms.
The eldest son of Lu, a serious heir, has been reduced to Xingjia Village. He can't even afford food. There is not even a grain of rice in the house. If he can give some help at this time, maybe he can get some favor, right?
Liu Meng was deep in thought, but he didn't notice that Lin Xiangrong, who was leaving hand in hand with San Fu, turned back and stared at her for a while with a pair of eyes flashing with unknown emotions.
"Stay away from her." Sanfu carried the bucket and held his sister's hand as he walked back. As he walked, he said, "I saw she wanted to push you. The old Liu family are not good people."
"Isn't this the lucky star of the old Liu family?" Lin Xiangrong asked casually.
He is also a lucky star who can give him anything he wants.
"Lucky star?" Sanfu snorted softly and touched her round head: "She is not a lucky star."
After years of tireless brainwashing by Wang Cuilan, San Fu Chenggong believed that his sister was a fairy who descended from heaven to repay his kindness under the guidance of Guanyin. With such a fairy sister, he couldn't even protect her, so how could he bully her?
It's not just the three rich people. Although the big rich and the second rich don't care very much, they seem to think so in their hearts. They are usually very tolerant towards Lin Xiangrong. If there are any good things, they will be generous and generous to Lin Xiangrong.
When Lin Xiangrong heard what the three rich people said, she knew that Wang Cuilan had taught her well. She pursed her lips and smiled, "Let's go home and eat fish. Ask grandma to make braised fish."
The two of them had a leisurely journey home.
Lin Yuannan just came back at this time. He bought several bags of rice, half a catty of meat, and edible sweet potatoes and potatoes. Although the quantity was not much, it was enough for everyone to eat for a while.
At least I won't have to go hungry for a Cuilan and Lin Dawei were both happy.
Lin Dawei chewed tobacco and patted Lin Yuanan on the shoulder: "Not bad."
He thought for a moment and then said: "Pick up some of the soft ones and eat them in the next few days, and put the rest of the better ones in the cellar to eat slowly."
"Hey!" Lin Yuannan responded. Seeing that Yuandong and Yuanxi were not there, he couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Where are the eldest brother and the second brother?"
"It's time to go to work. The team leader gave us a short notice. If you're not here, you won't be allowed to go. Just go over and show your face later." Lin Dawei waved his hand, picked up the hoe and walked out: "I'm going to the fields first, Lan. You and your second wife made dinner."
"I know." Wang Cuilan responded and greeted Zhang Miao to prepare for cooking. She muttered as she walked: "I don't know what I'm doing with my family. I can't catch a shadow every day. I always go to my parents' house these days." Why are you running?"
"Dad, we're back."
Lin Xiangrong ran forward and grabbed Lin Yuannan's sleeve: "Where is my mother?"
"Your mother has gone to work and is drying the millet in the field." Lin Yuannan tickled the tip of Lin Xiangrong's nose, took out a few pieces of fruit candies he bought and stuffed them into his daughter: "No, dad promised to buy you the candies. "
"Ah, dad really bought it? Did he use public funds?" Lin Xiangrong's eyes widened.
"How is that possible?" Lin Yuannan looked around, knelt down and whispered, "It's the money dad set up a stall in town. Don't tell your mother, she won't let dad set up a stall."
In the past few years, Lin Yuannan has been secretly setting up a stall in the town to sell some things collected at low prices from nooks and crannies. Although the profit from resale is not very high, he can still save a small amount of money.
He kept that money for Lin Xiangrong to use after going to school. The girl would have to wear hairpins and new clothes. If she was far behind her female classmates, she would be bullied.
He didn't want his precious daughter to be bullied and looked down upon because of her poor dress.
"Okay." Lin Xiangrong said that he would not spill the beans, then ran to San Fu and gave him a fruit candy.
Although today's sugar is extremely sweet and has a strong saccharin taste, it is a very rare thing for rural children.
The third rich man glared and stuffed the candy back: "Brother, if you don't want to eat it, you can eat it. How can a man eat candy?"
He pursed his lips and resisted the desire to eat sweets: "I'm going to feed the pigs in the back, so don't run around."
Ah this...
But that's not what my brother's expression said.
Lin Xiangrong pouted, ran behind Sanfu, jumped on his back, stuffed the candy into the small pocket on his jacket, then jumped down and ran quickly: "I'm going out to play!"
"This girl..." Sanfu touched the candy in his breast pocket, shook his head, and showed a helpless smile.
But his heart felt warm.
The money at home is still not enough.
I have to find a way to find the Ganoderma lucidum on the mountain, and then go into town with Lin Yuanan.
If you can find a good one, you can buy it for a lot of money if you resell it.
People in this era are not very knowledgeable about goods, but there are many people who know about goods. Generally, things left behind in the world are most likely to be thrown away as debris.
Lin Xiangrong felt itchy when she thought that Liu Meng had used unknown methods to determine the value of some treasures and then sold them, allowing his family to set up a clothing factory and a hotel that made a fortune.
