"I'm not happy anymore."
Zhou Zhaodi chuckled lightly and tapped the tip of her daughter's nose: "It's been a long time. If I don't come, I won't have time to entertain her after the autumn harvest."
Autumn harvest and rush harvest both have the same word, but their meanings are different. Autumn harvest is harvesting after maturity, but rush harvest is a race against time. If it is late, the crop harvest may plummet.
"Okay, I'll go over and tell Brother Xiao Xiao soon. Do you have any extra quilts when he comes to live?" Lin Xiangrong and Lu Xiao played well. They didn't have a life-long friendship, but they were a rare deep friendship. .
Although there is a six-year age difference, there is no problem in communication, and their thinking is on the right track, so there is no generation gap or inability to play together.
"Yes, Mom is ready. He can come anytime."
Zhou Zhaodi pursed her lips and quickly served her daughter a bowl of brown rice and a bowl of soup, then placed the bowl in front of Lin Xiangrong.
There was not much time for lunch. After eating and resting for a while, the family went to the fields to work. Lin Xiangrong found Lu Xiao who was digging in the fields and told him about it, and then returned home to do some work. Basket weaving and tidying up the house.
Although she is not very old, she can basically help out with anything she can.
Fang Hongying didn't dare to ask Lin Xiangrong to work more. This niece was in worse health than her two sons. She would cough for a long time when the cold wind blew. She was really afraid that the little girl would get sick if she didn't pay attention.
So I found an excuse to send it out.
With nothing to do, Lin Xiangrong went to Lao Liu's house and delivered a few sweet potatoes that he had promised before. He also went to the river to observe the water situation. Seeing that there was no risk of high tide, he calmly squatted on the bank. meeting.
"Who is that... the third rich man's sister!"
A young man called to her: "This is for you."
He came over, his legs and feet seemed to be a little bad, he was limping and leaning on a stick, holding a fish that kept flicking its tail and jumping around: "Here you go."
The young man had dark skin and a hearty smile. He was the same type of cheerful boy as Sanfu, but his cheerfulness was mixed with a bit of gentleness. He squatted down with difficulty and showed a kind smile to the little girl with two braids. .
"You did me a favor yesterday. This fish is a thank you gift. You can take it back and have it stewed at your house tonight. By the way, what's your name?"
If San Fu hadn't caught him quickly with quick eyesight and quick hands, he would not have broken one of his legs, but would have lost his life. The leg was simply not in good condition and he could be cured in ten days and a half.
But this was the time when the family needed labor. He injured his leg, and it felt a bit wrong not to do any work, so he just wanted to catch two fish to feed the family.
But he didn't expect to meet the biological sister of the third rich man. However, he rarely saw this girl, and usually it was a mistake. His memory was already good enough to recognize her.
"Lin Xiangrong."
Lin Xiangrong said hello crisply, hugged the jumping fish again, her eyes fell on his uncomfortable legs, and said considerately: "Brother, please stand up quickly. If you keep squatting, it will not be good for your legs." good."
"If you want to recover faster, you can find ways to promote blood circulation, that is, massage your legs more so that your legs will not be used for a period of time after recovery."
The young man looked at her in surprise: "Okay, I will do it. Don't go to the water to play. Go home quickly. It's dangerous here."
After seeing Lin Xiangrong off for a while, the young man saw that she had gone far away, so he turned around with relief and picked up two more fish.
Lin Xiangrong went out for a trip and brought back a fish that was jumping around.
"Here, let's make a fish stew tonight."
Frowning and thinking for a moment, Fang Hongying was not very good at cooking, but she basically knew how to cook fish. She walked over and scraped the scales skillfully, then took out the internal organs and threw them aside to soak in a cold water basin. After a while, the blood was gone. The water was almost soaked, and then it was taken out and empty.
Lin Xiangrong, who had been lying aside to watch the excitement, ran over and poked it with his hand. When he was about to ask if there was any seasoning missing, he saw a small dumpling jumping over from the corner of his eye.
Her eyelids twitched, and she subconsciously grabbed the calico cat, held it in her arms and rubbed it hard: "What are you doing? This is not for you to eat."
The calico cat meowed several times and tried to use its claws to hook the fish that had been treated. However, its claws were a bit short and it could not touch the fish even if it waved hard. It could only scream in a long voice and was hugged by Lin Xiangrong. Go to the backyard.
"You are not allowed to eat the fish at home. If you want to eat, I will catch you some small fish when I have time."
Lin Xiangrong tapped the slightly cold watery nose of the calico cat, combed its long hair with a small comb, and held the cat and stroked it for a while. When he was drowsy, there was a sound of footsteps. sounded.
The footsteps were deliberately softer, so she didn't pay attention.
"Mimi."
Fang Hongying called the calico cat in embarrassment and squatted not far away without getting closer. She knew that her little niece was very delicate and couldn't sleep if she made louder sounds, so she lowered her voice.
"Come and eat."
Putting the small plate on the ground, which contained the cleaned and dirty fish offal, Fang Hongying walked away softly when she saw the calico cat walking over with graceful steps and lowering its head to show off.
Lin Xiangrong opened her eyes slightly and stared at Fang Hongying's leaving figure, her eyes slightly complicated. She sighed, turned over in the old man's chair covered with a blanket, and fell asleep quickly.
When he was woken up, it was already time for San Fu to come back from school. He woke up his sister and asked, "Why don't you go to sleep in the house? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold when the breeze blows outside?"
"not bad."
In fact, it's not that cold, even in the evening. The temperature is almost 30 degrees Celsius. Even if it cools down at night, it can still make people sweat.
Lin Xiangrong shook his head and told him who brought the fish. Then he went back to the house and washed his face. The brother and sister went to the front yard to have dinner together.
This big fish plus a pot of steamed buns stuffed with wild vegetables and rabbit meat, the whole family ate without even saying a word.
"Several tribesmen are getting older. This flood has made them seriously ill. Letters of recommendation and letters of guarantee cannot be issued until they come back. Third child, please wait for a while, but first look for a house and go to the village. Let's go over there and check in."
Lin Dawei talked about some things in the village and urged the Lin people and his family to stop being so stupid and take care of things in your own family first, and then lower your head to show off your money.
"I understand, brother."
The forest man nodded: "I'll go look for a house tomorrow. Once I've found it, I'll let the village chief know. What should I do if I don't have land? Is there any land left in the village?"
"I don't know about that." The properties of the houses left behind by the survivors are similar to those left behind by people fleeing from the desert. Basically, they are found in every village.
Lin Dawei thought for a while: "Let me ask you, don't worry, just arrange the house. As for the land, the village chief should know what to do."
