The noise in the front yard was suppressed by the old man who came back in time.
After a while, Zhou Zhaodi came over with a potato: "We don't have many eggs at home. Mom boiled a potato for you. Eat it first. When the family has money, you can eat as many eggs as you want."
That's a medium-sized potato.
Lin Xiangrong, who had no idea about the harvest of his family's crops and how specific each potato was, knew that it was a good-looking potato when he saw it.
She felt warm in her heart, broke open the potato and stuffed half of it into Zhou Zhaodi: "Mom, you eat too, I know you didn't eat in the morning, how about sharing this potato between us."
"Silly boy, what are you talking about? Mom is hungry when she is hungry. You haven't eaten anything this morning. You should eat it yourself."
Zhou Zhaodi hurriedly pushed the potatoes back, fearing that her daughter would be hungry and urged her to eat quickly. Then she got up and went to work outside. Before leaving, she warned: "Don't go up the mountain. Don't play by the river. Just play at home with the four rich people." Come on."
Lin Xiangrong thought about going to the mountain to see if there was any harvest in the cage today, so she quickly asked: "Mom, can I play with Brother Xiaoxiao?"
"Go." Zhou Zhaodi thought carefully. Instead of playing with the four rich people who had been pampered and raised, it would be better for her daughter to play with the new boy from the family. She took a few peeks and saw that he was a polite and good boy. Children will never lead their own daughters into bad ways.
"You two are not allowed to go to remote places to play, and you must not get too close to little boys." After another warning, Zhou Zhaodi left in a hurry.
He quickly ate a potato, wiped his mouth with a clean handkerchief, then washed it and ran out. The handkerchief was blown dry before he was halfway through. He stuffed it into his clothes and walked towards the center of the village. He saw Lu Xiao, who was bowing his head and weaving a cage. .
"Brother Xiaoxiao, I'm here."
Lin Xiangrong jumped up: "You made up so much? It's really amazing."
"I have nothing to do. If we make up more, we can feel more relaxed."
In fact, he was short of money and wanted to make more money, so Lu Xiao made a cage as soon as he woke up and went to dig some wild sweet potatoes.
Thinking of sweet potatoes, Lu Xiao sighed in his heart. Lin Xiangrong told him about the land with wild sweet potatoes. Although the quantity was not very large, it was enough to support him and his mother for a while.
During this time, we will make more cages. If we can sell some, we will buy some brown rice and thick steamed buns, and buy one or two eggs to replenish the mother's body.
"I'll help you."
Lin Xiangrong dexterously weaved several cages with his small hands. After weaving all morning, the two of them hid the cages and climbed up the mountain together without going back for lunch.
"Hey, this one has two rabbits."
Two rabbits, one big and one small, came into a cage. When I touched the belly of the big one, it seemed that it was not round. Lin Xiangrong was extremely pleasantly surprised: "This one is pregnant. If she can give birth to many little rabbits, it won't matter." Soon there will be a nest of rabbits."
Rabbits have a fast growth and pregnancy period, and they can give birth to one litter after another. It is definitely very profitable to raise them and sell them.
A few years ago, they had a litter at home, but when the New Year was bad, they had to exchange it for money to buy food.
"I'll give this to you. Not long after you raise it, there will be a litter of little rabbits. After a few months, they will have litters of babies. They can be sold by then." Lin Xiangrong thought of Lu Xiao's situation and was generous. He gave him the pregnant rabbit and snatched the little rabbit away: "When you catch another rabbit, share it with me."
"Okay." Lu Xiao nodded. He had taken advantage of it, so how could he disagree? "I don't want the next one."
It seems that if I have time, I need to put down a few more cages, walk deeper, and catch more prey to give to Lin Xiangrong to compensate her.
If the little girl is good to him, then he must also be good to the little girl.
Lu Xiao rarely owed anything, but since he lived in Xingjia Village, he had been receiving help from Lin Xiangrong, which frustrated the boy with strong self-esteem.
But he quickly cheered up and decided to make up for it in other ways. You can't always let children younger than yourself suffer.
Lu Xiao made up his mind and his eyes were firm. He took Lin Xiangrong's hand and the two walked to another cage together, chatting in low voices. The atmosphere was joyful and relaxed.
This relieved Lu Xiao's tense spirit a lot.
The two of them turned over three cages in a row before finding a pheasant. The pheasant was stuffed directly into the frame and suppressed. Then they dug wild vegetables and found some wild sweet potatoes and potatoes and divided them up before heading back together. Walk.
Lu Xiao sent her to the door of his house. After the little girl walked in, he turned around and went to the mountain to install a few cages, and then dug wild vegetables for two hours.
After sharing a portion of wild vegetables, Lu Xiao returned to the village and knocked on the door of the Lin family courtyard. He thought the person who opened the door would be the little girl's uncle or sister, but he didn't expect it to be a woman he had never seen before.
"Who are you looking for?" Xiaochun asked.
"Look for Lin Xiangrong."
This person does not look like a member of the Lin family. She has short messy hair, a dull expression and slightly dull eyes. She is thin and small, and she does not look very healthy.
"Oh, let's look for that dead girl." Xiaochun knew who he was looking for, and said in a master's tone: "You wait outside the door, I'll ask that dead girl to come see you."
She closed the door with a bang, turned around and walked into the house.
"Really, a dead girl who only knows how to eat for nothing is going to die with so many things going on every day." She muttered, but she didn't expect that Lu Xiao outside the door was smart and listened to this sentence.
"Damn girl, someone is looking for you. Go out and see you quickly." When he walked to the backyard, he saw Lin Xiangrong catching a pheasant from the small yard enclosed in the south of the forest garden. Xiaochun said impatiently: "Hurry up. Yes, a dead girl who only eats free rice and does nothing every day, how can she still have the nerve to stand here?"
Lin Xiangrong ignored her, walked directly to the front yard, opened the door and found Lu Xiao who had applied for something unknown, and asked: "Why are you here, Brother Xiao Xiao."
"I'm here to bring you wild vegetables."
Lu Xiao thought for a while outside the door and gave her all the wild vegetables: "These wild vegetables are enough for several meals. If you hand these over, you won't get scolded."
The situation of girls in rural areas is indeed not good these days. He was wrong and did not consider Lin Xiangrong's situation at home.
She won't be scolded, right? "Ah?" Lin Xiangrong was stunned, holding the old little basket filled with wild vegetables and some dug potatoes: "I didn't get scolded."
Why didn't she know when she was scolded? Lu Xiao touched her head: "It's okay, I understand. You can go back first. I'll call you out tomorrow."
Then, without waiting for Lin Xiangrong to explain, Lu Xiao turned around and left. His long legs moved very fast, and soon he disappeared from sight.
"What's going on."
Not understanding what Lu Xiao was thinking, Lin Xiangrong frowned and decided not to think about it anymore. He closed the door, checked the contents of the basket, and sighed.
"There are so many things, enough for him and his mother to eat for a long time, but they are all brought."
I have to bring something back to Lu Xiao tomorrow. I can't keep accepting food from others.
Only when we come again can we go back and forth. Only when we keep going back and forth can our feelings and relationships get better.
Lin Yuannan kept mumbling this, and Lin Xiangrong remembered it.
