Listening to the energetic voice, the voice imprinted deep in the soul, Lin Lan suddenly distinguished the identity of the person.

She is Lin Mei!

Who is Lin Mei?

Lin Mei is her third sister and twin sister.

According to Lin Lan's estimation, they should be fraternal twins, because the third sister is relatively ordinary, not as good-looking as her!

But the third sister is more aggressive and capable than she is, but others are harming others, and the original owner is harming himself.

In the original owner's impression, the third sister was her friend who had been pinched from a young age to a big one.

After Lin Lan integrated the information, she found that the third sister was actually very capable.

For example, in this era, when the original owner was only thinking about how to ask for money from his mother-in-law, the third sister had already secretly engaged in speculative work and made a lot of private money. run.

A strong woman.

Of course, no one is perfect, and her shortcoming is that she is extremely conniving to men, so that her men have been eating soft meals and are still dragging their feet, and she is tireless in teaching people.

In the years of comparison between the original owner and the third sister, the most proficient weapon is his man and appearance!

Every time I go back to my natal house, if the things the original owner brought back overwhelm the third sister, I will be very proud. I look better than you. My man is more capable than you. That's right.

If you lose and haven't been overwhelmed, you will give a cold snort, I am better-looking than you, my man is better than you, what is this thing?

Back then, the original owner sent something back to her mother's house, such as mosquito nets, cloth, money, and quilts. She took them back to her relatives who were able to support the scene, just because she gave them more things than the third sister, and who looked good. , Or she would not be so short of cotton.

Therefore, it is really an incalculable bad debt.

When the third sister called out, Lin Lan's mind flashed, and suddenly she had an idea.

She immediately put the cloth back on the car and said to Sister Liu: "Don't be afraid, it's her own."

But seeing that Big Sister Liu had already walked over to meet Lin Mei, she grabbed Lin Mei's hand and said excitedly: "Big girl, great, both pieces of cloth are sold, it's her! That big girl bought it!"

Lin Lan: ...you are a group of co-authors.

Emma, ​​how do you think that the old lady and Lin Mei are really like sisters, they match up!

Lin Mei also snorted coldly, "Why, this is rich, rich? Shanzui Village can’t drive you anymore, and she ran a big episode to show off. Would you like the whole world to know that you got a hundred? Yuan?"

"What's the matter, are you jealous?" Lin Lan smiled, "Sister Sister, I'm separated, don't you go and cook the kang for me?"

Burning kang is to congratulate the housewarming, bring gifts and gift money to the door.

Lin Mei curled her lips, "Why don't you burn the kang, you can't buy something to return to your family's home to show off? How much did it cost a hundred? Should the rest be sent back to the old lady to ask for credit?"

"Sister, don't worry, I won't cheat, and you don't have that much money, I can't win." Lin Lan smiled.

Lin Mei poohed and frightened her, "You don't have to smile with me. You buy and buy with such a big fanfare, it is estimated that the old lady will bring her son and wife to see you at night."

Lin Lan was shocked, Emma, ​​why are they going to come here before she goes back to fight the autumn wind?

"Sister Sister, you don't know, our house is in tatters, there is no place to stand, no place to sit, and the palm-sized kang is sleeping with a bunch of people."

Lin Mei glanced at her, "If you have money, you can build a big brick house. Isn't it possible to get rid of it."

"The brick house is brought by a strong wind? You can't make bricks or wood, you can't have a note, you give it." Lin Lan tried to move closer to the original owner's tone.

"If you don't have money to buy bricks and tiles, do you have money to buy these things? Why don't you get married? Why don't you buy so many cloths?"

"I'm spreading it, and the remaining nailed wall serves as a wall fence."

Lin Mei rolled her eyes, believing that the fourth sister was going to send the things back to her natal family to show off.

A few days later, it will be the birthday of the old lady, and the girls will naturally go back to celebrate their birthdays. The gifts are to be brought.

According to the current standard of living, it is generally to bring two pastries and a la carte. The best ones can bring strips of meat, or bring a pair of shoes, but basically nothing else.

It seems that the fourth sister is going to make a big face.

In order to stabilize them, Lin Lan told her mother's family not to come, she said loudly: "San Jie, you will come home and tell your mother on the way, I will definitely go to her for her birthday in a few days. Designate a memorable life for her. Birthday."

Lin Mei decided that she was going to spend a lot of money to show her poverty, and her expression changed with anger, and she snorted.

Lin Lan looked at her third sister's face, and said, "Third sister, you lend me ten dollars."

Lin Mei was so frightened that she immediately took two steps back and looked at her vigilantly, like a ghost.

Are these four sisters insane? They didn't want to borrow a penny from her before starving to death, so why are they only borrowing ten yuan from her if they bought one hundred dollars?

There must be something wrong with it.

In view of the previous performance of the fourth sister, she did not expect Lin Lan deliberately borrowed money to scare her.

Then I thought that the four sisters would have a hundred dollars, so they would have to borrow money, so they won’t be all poor. "You prodigal old lady, one hundred dollars can't be spent in a lifetime. You spent it all at once?"

Lin Lan shrugged, "If you can find it, you haven't heard people say that I bought the whole collection all over? There are so many things I haven't bought yet, cotton is not bought, and non-staple food is not available..."

"Stop it, you're going to pull it down." Lin Mei didn't say that she didn't have ten dollars, but said: "You have spent all one hundred dollars. What can I do with my ten dollars, I have already spent it."

Lin Lan didn't talk nonsense with her anymore, "San Jie, are you going to sit at my house?"

Although he grew up, he is a compatriot's sister after all, Lin Lan still wants to get close.

Anyway, apart from ridiculing her, Lin Mei has never taken advantage of her.

Oh, it's the original owner and Lin Mei.

Lin Mei snorted, "Forget it, I have something at home."

She turned her head and asked Sister Liu how much to sell Lin Lan, Sister Liu gestured.

Lin Mei glared at Lin Lan, "It's a big hand right now." Then she said to Sister Liu: "My own person, give her a little bit cheaper."

Let Sister Liu refund one dollar to Lin Lan.

Sister Liu had a painful face, and finally came across a generous one, but she always listened to Lin Mei, who was their leader.

Lin Lan said, "You don't need to return me. You can help me pay attention to the cotton. I didn't buy any cotton. The cotton-padded clothes and quilts at home will not work."

"Okay, I will write to you on my mother's birthday." As he said, Lin Lan gave Lin Lan a look as if you could figure it out.

If you want me to get cotton for you, and you want to press your sister's face, you don't want cotton!

Lin Lan understood in a second, "Sister, you see that we just separated, there is really nothing in the house, and the food is very tight, so you may have to consider the birthday gift for your mother."

"Then you also said that you want to celebrate your birthday well and show off your poverty." Lin Mei snorted.

"A surprise for my mother." Lin Lan smiled, "Sister Sister, please help me think about it. If I have cotton, I want it. According to the market price, it won't take advantage of you."

When she said that, she said she had to go to the slaughter group to see, and she stopped chatting.

Lin Mei's eyes stared like a small knife. Lin Lan felt that if he could see through, he should first meet each other and divide the time.

Lin Mei didn't intend to let her go. She made up her mind to follow along, so she picked up a piece of cloth and let Lin Lan carry the other.

"San Jie, how heavy, let me send it over."

"You just have to fly with two horses, why can't you just fly with one horse?"

Lin Lan had to resign himself to the supply and marketing agency with Lin Mei, "Sister, you said we carried the speculative cloth to the supply and marketing agency, isn't this self-inflicted?"

"I know better than you, I woven cloth myself and gave it to my sister, who cares?"

"Oh, third sister, then you can refund me all the money."

"Go to the side." Lin Mei gave her a white look.

When I arrived at the supply and marketing agency, I put my things together and sat outside in the shade of the trees, waiting for Han Qingsong to come.

Lin Mei glanced at what was happening in that place, and kept rolling her eyes. It was really a waste of money to spend it like that?

"Sister, sit down and rest."

"I am not tired."

"I watched you turn around, with your mouth on the bottom of your ears. I'm tired for you."

Lin Mei rolled her eyes vigorously, sat down on one side, and pointed, "What is this? A fire stick?"

"Dizi, Sanjie, Dizi!"

Lin Mei sneered vigorously, "For dinner? Or as firewood?"

"This is food for the mind." Lin Lan took the flute for fear of being thrown by the third sister.

Lin Mei didn't talk about the broken flute, but pointed to the pile, "Do you need to buy so many bowls? For your parents-in-law, uncle, and sister-in-law?"

"There are 7 people in our family, each one has a bowl, and we have to..."

"It's still a hairy!" Lin Mei sneered: "You really have a problem. You need a bowl for each person to drink water?"

"What about porridge?"

"Drink the porridge, you and Xiaowang will have one, the second and the third will be..."

"Quickly pull it down." Lin Lan felt that this was a collision of life habits and didn't want to argue.

It's as if someone thinks that the whole family has a basin, it doesn't matter if they use the same basin for washing face, feet, and bottoms, or even using the same basin for washing dishes.

Her third sister is even more powerful. She even cares about the bowl. "A bowl is only five cents. Why do you have to use one for two? Besides, this is coarse porcelain, in case it's hit..."

"You are really a big hand. Who would dare to hit a good bowl? If you go back, tell the child carefully. Whoever hits the bowl will be fattened and not allowed to eat!"

Lin Lan:! ! ! It turns out that you are the third sister of the tyrant!

If she is not speculative, she is not the fourth sister in the previous comparison, but the third sister is still the third sister of the bar, who can't afford to provoke and retreat.

Lin Mei felt boring when Lin Lan didn't speak. She always felt that the four sisters were different. They used to be like firecrackers when they met. They didn't wait for her to speak, but now she was dumb.

"Okay, wait for yourself. I'll go back and show you the cotton." Lin Mei said to leave and return after two steps. "If you buy these things, your mother-in-law can't let people move?"

Lin Lan was taken aback, and then smiled: "Thanks to the third sister for reminding me, it's okay, she didn't dare to give me the money, what's the point of moving a few of my bowls? Besides, she is also afraid of me going to spoil her."

Lin Mei turned her head and left, bringing a small whirlwind behind her.

Lin Lan:...

Before long, she saw Han Qingsong coming over with a platoon of cars. He was wearing his own military uniform and his tall and steady pace was very conspicuous among a group of gray and turbulent members, causing many people to turn their heads to look.

"Here." Lin Lan stood up and waved to him.

Han Qingsong actually saw her at a glance.

In front of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative was a small square with several big locust trees and plane trees on the left and right. Lin Lan was sitting on the rock under the tree, and there were things like hills piled up in front of him. It was hard to not see.

He hurriedly pulled the ground cart and strode over.

Lin Lan got up to move things.

Han Qingsong: "Let it go, I'll come."

He took out a hand towel from his pocket and handed it to her to wipe the sweat and fan, and he went to pack things by himself.

Seeing the flute, he was also stunned for a moment, but he didn't say anything, and silently loaded the car.

After installing the car, he took a look at Lin Lan while pulling the car.

Lin Lan thought he let herself give the cart, and immediately went to the back to help him push it.

Han Qingsong: "...you go up."

"Haha, I'm not tired, let's just walk."

Han Qingsong didn't move.

Lin Lan: "...Then, I'm going up."

Han Qingsong nodded.

Lin Lan climbed up happily, whoever can be the grandson, and walking so far is exhausted.

Although didn't wear high heels, these torn straw sandals... must make a few pairs of shoes when go home.

She doesn't have the patience to take the soles. See if you can buy two pairs of soles. If you have money, you can make things worse.

She was happy in her heart, and sang the small tunes happily. She was proud of it, but regardless of whether it was put on the big trumpets of this era, she sang whatever she got.

Han Qingsong in front did not make a sound and walked silently.

"I have to go back for my child's grandmother's birthday in two years." Lin Lan remembered, and told Han Qingsong about her encounter with Lin Mei.

Han Qingsong said, "Should I be with you?"

"No, don't delay going to work, I'll just take Xiaowang." These days, except for not going to work in the winter, I can go to relatives, and I basically don't leave at other times, so I have to earn work points.

The other children also earn work points, without delay. And they are not willing to go, because the original owner rarely treats the nephews of his brothers and treats them better than his own children, and the children are jealous.

Han Qingsong didn't say anything.

Lin Lan told him about the process of buying things, especially the supply and marketing agency. She was also afraid that Han Qingsong would feel ashamed of herself, so she looked at him and found that she didn't have any expressions and she was relieved.

She was vaccinated so that he would not listen to other people's gossip and have opinions on her then.

After all, there are several villagers who went there together.

She also said about buying two pieces of cloth, "My own home knitting is cheap, so I bought them all. It's a bit more...but it's really cheap!"

She was also afraid that Han Qingsong would think she was spending money indiscriminately and would have opinions.

As a result, Han Qingsong said: "Very good."

Is this no objection?

But if you want him to say a few more words, it seems impossible. It seems that you don't want to have the kind of refreshing resonance with him that you have spent a small amount of money to buy the most urgent products.

Han Qingsong has a big step, walks steadily, and doesn't need to stop on the road, so he gets home quickly.

As soon as they entered the village, they ran into people who had returned from work. They saw Han Qingsong actually pulling the platoon with his wife sitting on the platoon.

Everyone laughed kindly, and the young man winked his eyes, "Looking at other people's green pine, they will love their daughter-in-law."

"That's right, look at people, five children are still like Xiaoyou."

"Learn a little bit."

Lin Lan was embarrassed instead, and she was afraid that Han Qingsong was ashamed to say that when she got home, the car didn't stop and she quickly jumped off, "I'll go on walking in the future."

"It's okay." Han Qingsong put down the car.

Er Wang, Mai Sui and Xiao Wang in the house rushed out happily when they heard the movement, "Mother is back, mother is back!"

Lin Lan had already packed the little things in her cloth bag, and worked out the sugar cubes and distributed them to them one by one.

She didn't buy the sugar cubes, but Han Qingsong brought them back. She kept them.

As soon as she entered the fence gate, she saw that the yard was filled with large and small tanks and basins, and suddenly felt that she could really buy it.

She asked in a low voice, "Have you ever been here?"

Xiao Wang said: "My mother is sick."

"sick?"

"Liver hurts." Xiao Wang clutched his chest, learning like an old lady, smoking, "Liver... hurts!"

Lin Lan couldn't help but laughed, and then quickly covered her mouth.

Er Wang and Mai Sui said each sentence happily.

It turned out that the Wuhuo boss saw that his things had been sold out, so he didn't wait, cleaned up and sent Lin Lan's back.

The villagers began to think that he was going to the countryside to sell black goods and wanted to buy them, but they said that they were all bought by Lin Lan's family, and the members were shocked.

So much!

The old lady Han was even more excited to run over when she heard that she wanted to put the picks that Lin Lan bought into her home.

The boss of Wuhuo naturally refused. Lin Lan repeatedly confessed that he must put it in his yard.

The Wuhuo boss didn't give face, so the old lady Han went to see Han Qingsong.

Han Qingsong came back when he got the news, although he couldn't see the difference between the sizes of these tanks, and the usefulness of buying so many crock pots. But feeling told him that Lin Lan rushed away and bought it back, which would definitely be useful.

If he dares to deal with it, I'm afraid he will sleep with the brat kang for a lifetime.

Therefore, he didn't let go, only saying that Lin Lan bought it and waited for Lin Lan to come back to deal with it.

How could old lady Han stand this!

On the spot, she clutched her chest and said that her liver hurts with anger. She said that her tank was broken, the basin was broken, the soup pot was broken, and her son bought a new one. Why did she change it?

Reluctant to bear it!

Just like this, and still count on him to provide for the elderly?

She scolded, Han Qingsong let her scold.

Sanwang couldn't help but said to the old lady Han: "Mum, why don't you buy a good tank with so much money? You don't need to wait until my mother buys it? Do you want to get the 100 yuan back? what?"

Where did the old lady hold her face, chasing Sanwang.

Sanwang slid and ran away, and disappeared when he jumped into the river like a loach.

Xiaowang cried and yelled, "Mima dropped her brother into the river!"

The old lady was so angry that her heart, liver, spleen and lungs hurt, and she went home with her chest and was angry.

After listening to the three teachers, Lin Lan smiled hard, and finally laughed a few times while lying in the tank while tidying the tank. The buzzing made the children think it was fun, so they all went to buzz in the tank.

Lin Lan took inventory and said to Han Qingsong, "The old lady wants a tank, or just give her this."

She pointed to a corrugated jar. The glazed jar was useful for her.

Han Qingsong said: "No need."

Lin Lan couldn't tell whether he was talking angry or something, but she was surprised that the old lady came to ask for the tank, but Han Qingsong didn't give it. Originally, she bought one more to prepare the old lady to spoil Han Qingsong, so she was not good at being a man, so she gave her one. of.

Since he said no, then forget it, she is not used to the problem.

When returning from work in the evening, Lin Lan directed Erwang and Maisui to cook, and then directed Han Qingsong, Dawang, and Sanwang to return home.

The large tanks for grain should be placed in the house, one in the water tank house, a smaller one outside, and one outside the pickle jar. Covered with a lid, it is not afraid of rain.

In this way, the house is full of dangling, leaving only a trail to walk.

When Han Qingsong was transporting the cylinder into the house, the big cylinder had a big mouth and a small door, and almost couldn't get in. Fortunately, his strength is so strong that the door frames are also made of wood, flexible and squeezed in.

However, I am afraid that it will be troublesome to take it out when the time comes, and you may have to remove the door frame.

Lin Lan thought about it later.

The pots, pans and pans and all kinds of cooking utensils are laid out, and the already cramped room is narrower, but it is also full of fireworks.

Han Qingsong said, "Make do with it first, and build a hut on the side after a while."

Lin Lan said he wanted it!

Taking advantage of the hot weather in the next few days, Lin Lan took the time to take apart the quilts and cotton-padded clothes at home and wash them.

Fortunately, Erwang Maisui helped, so that she, who is not good at sewing, can also complete the task smoothly.

It's just a little trouble doing laundry.

At this time, there was no washing powder, only soap, one for one party, and that was also bought with a ticket.

Lin Lan didn't buy it this time, and there was only one piece at home that Han Qingsong brought back.

Now the members of the community do not give up washing clothes and use soap. Few households in the village buy soap. Basically they use alkali, and even they don’t give up. Instead, they use plant ash to soak them, and then use a mallet to hit the stone. In this way, the ash is almost washed.

Lin Lan was afraid of breaking the cloth with a hammer. Those clothes were very thin after wearing them for several years.

She reluctantly uses that bar of soap first, and then finds a way to buy a few more.

You don’t need to wash your clothes daily. This quilt has been covered for a year.

At this time, there are few clothes. The ones with better conditions include singles and cotton-padded clothes. In poor conditions, single-cloth cotton is cotton-padded clothes when it is cold, and when it is hot, cotton-padded clothes are single-clothes when the cotton is removed.

So the quilted jacket is empty, there is no spring and autumn clothes covered with dust, plus no bathing in winter, it is really... even if there are quilts, and there is no bed sheet and duvet cover, it will not be clean.

Thinking about it this way, she felt that cotton was still not enough. She had to make quilt covers and sheets so that the quilts would not have to be taken apart and washed every year.

In addition, you have to make more clothes for the children and let them wear them under cotton clothes.

We have to figure out how to let the children take a bath in winter, not for four or five months without bathing.

Wash it and dry it, put it away, and wait for the cotton to get in place before you can sew it.

In a blink of an eye, it was the eve of the autumn wind-Mrs. Lin's birthday.

Lin Lan arranged a visit at home again, and led Xiao Wang to Linjiatun the next day.

Han Qingsong saw that she was carrying a rag bag, which contained a two-sided noodle pancake, a few candies, and nothing else. After a while, she carried a newly bought basket again, and he wondered if he wanted to give this as a birthday gift to the old lady, it seemed inappropriate.

Lin Lan put a few more cucumbers and some foreign persimmons.

After packing up, Lin Lan and Han Qingsong said, "If I can't come back at noon, Maisui and Erwang can just heat up the rice, and you can eat something."

Han Qingsong nodded, "Okay, you go."

He wondered if she had money with her, and it would be good to give the old lady a dollar.

Linjiatun is not far from Shanzui Village, less than ten miles away, and it takes more than half an hour to walk.

Just have a child, it will be much slower.

At first, Lin Lan led him along and told stories on the road. After walking for ten minutes, his pace slowed down.

Lin Lan found a tree under the tree and asked Xiao Wang to sit on the basket, took the cleaned cucumbers, broke them in half, and handed him the softest top, "Xiao Wang, eat cucumbers."

Xiaowang hesitated, "Mother, won't you give it to grandma?"

Lin Lan smiled and said, "No, this is what we brought on the road to eat."

"What about Brother Xiaoxin?"

"Don't give it, just give it to my mother's Xiaowang." Lin Lan rubbed the top of his head, Xiao Wang was not very safe, and always liked to confirm with her over and over again.

She knew he needed her firm answer, and she loved him.

Xiao Wang really put on a sweet smile, and began to gnaw cucumbers crisply.

Lin Lan also ate a piece.

After resting for a few minutes, Lin Lan continued on the road carrying him, walked for a while and then rested, Xiao Wang asked to go by himself.

When was outside Linjiatun Village, had eaten all the tomatoes, cucumbers and pancakes.

"Xiaowang, will you be hungry if you don't eat at noon?"

Xiao Wang touched his stomach, "Mother, you won't be hungry if you don't eat all day."

"Good boy." Lin Lan touched the top of his soft hair and led him to her family's home.

Linjiatun is not too big, and it is smaller than Shanzui Village, with less than two hundred households.

Linjiatun is close to the river and has abundant water resources and many stones. Diligent people pick up stone walls to build the foundation. Although the yellow mud wall above is also a straw roof, it is much more tidy than Shanzui Village.

Shanzui Village is said to be a backer. It is not a mountain like the northeast or south of the Yangtze River.

The head of Old Lin lived in the south of the village, along the river, and arrived soon.

Lin Lan has an elder brother, three sisters, and a younger brother.

The entrance of Lao Lin's house does not face south, but east, facing the road.

The courtyard door was open, and a woman's loud voice came from inside.

Just as Lin Lan led Xiaowang in, a person rushed out from behind the haystack, pulled Lin Lan and walked into another alley.

"Hey..." Lin Lan was about to shout.

The man yelled, "Don't howl, it's me."

"Sister Sister, why are you sneaky and acting like a thief."

"I can't wait for you." Lin Mei led her into another alley, hiding behind the haystack and talking.

She glanced at Xiaowang, "This is... Xiaowang?"

Lin Lan touched Xiaowang's head, "Called Sanyi."

The original owner disliked Xiaowang and never led him out. Everyone only knew the name but not the person.

Xiaowang called obediently.

Lin Mei fumbled for a while, "Oh, you didn't say to bring a child, I didn't bring sugar."

Lin Lan knew that she had this character, and she was not prepared or could not admit it, afraid of losing face.

She smiled and said, "What do you prepare?" She took out a piece of candy and stuffed it to Lin Mei, "For you."

Lin Mei:...

She stuffed the sugar to Xiaowang, "eat it."

Xiaowang smiled and thanked him, then put it in his pocket.

Lin Mei: ... mother, hell, isn't it a little fool, why are you still so polite? It's literary, like a child of a cadre's family.

Lin Lan looked at Lin Mei's basket, "What do you bring to celebrate your birthday?"

But Lin Mei has to look at Lin Lan first.

Lin Lan showed it to her.

Lin Mei's eyes widened, "Fourth old man, I said you have a convulsion, so don't bring anything for your mother's birthday?"

Lin Lan shrugged, "I have a jar at home, so I can't carry a jar."

Cloth herself is not enough, "Oh, it's not empty-handed, isn't this a basket? I bought it newly."

Lin Meiha gave a cry, hurriedly covered her mouth, poked Lin Lan's finger, and said with a low smile: "You come to irritate people, dad will make baskets. There are thorns everywhere by the river. You can send them?"

Lin Lan curled her lips, "Daddy knows how to make baskets, so why don't I have a basket to use in my house?"

Lin Mei snorted, "Isn't it because you are so poor and stinky? Who is to blame? The eldest sister and the second sister have baskets at home." She is her own mother-in-law who can make up, so she doesn't need it.

Lin Lan looked at what Lin Mei brought again, and Lin Mei covered the baggage of the basket, "I didn't bring it."

The fourth child didn't bring it, so what else did she bring.

Lin Lan smiled and said, "What did you bring, or half of me?"

Lin Mei rolled her eyes and lifted the bag, revealing the four white-faced glutinous rice noodles inside, and a handful of long cowpeas with eggplants.

Lin Lan exaggerated: "Sister Sister, you are really willing. I brought everything with you. Let's take it out and have one."

She also has white noodles in her family now, but she is reluctant to eat it herself, and the children don't have enough food, so she didn't bring it.

Lin Mei clapped her hand, took out the four white-faced glutinous rice noodles, wrapped them in a bag, and then went aside to find a haystack that was intact and no one had touched it and hid the glutinous rice noodles in.

Lin Lan:...

How could this be?

After hiding it, Lin Mei snorted, "If you want cotton, just close your mouth. I'm already collecting it. I'll give it to you in the next episode."

At this moment, Lin Lan has an empty basket, and she is carrying vegetables in the basket, and she always has a longer face than the fourth!

"Then, let's go in together?"

Lin Mei also took Xiaowang's hand, "Go!"

As soon as the three of them entered the yard, the yard that was originally like a woolala market became quiet as a chicken.

Everyone looked at them, Xiao Wang and the others didn't know him, and Lin Lan and Lin Mei didn't know him either.

The two of them can also come in hand in hand, it is definitely snow in summer and thunder in winter.

"Three aunts and four aunts, you are finally here!" A few children ran over, especially Xiaoxin from the second room, who was the most beloved nephew of the original owner.

The child rushed over and pushed Xiao Wang away, "Who are you, get up."

Xiao Wang was so scared that his face turned pale at the time, and he hugged Lin Lan's thigh tightly.

Lin Lan put a piece of candy into Xiaowang's mouth and said to Xiaoxin: "You are the brother, don't scare my Xiaowang."

"Sugar, sugar, I want to eat!" Xiaoxin reached out to pick up the sugar from Xiaowang's mouth.

"Slap" Lin Lan slapped Xiaoxin's hand away, "What is this for?"

Xiaoxin saw that the fourth aunt who loved him the most actually beat him, so he immediately stopped doing it, and started to roll on the ground.

"What's up, what's up?" Old Lady Lin rushed out of the room.

Sister Lin and Sister Lin also came, and Xiaoxin's mother and Lin's second daughter-in-law Tang Hehua also rushed over.

Tang Hehua hugged her child, "His four aunts, what's the matter with you? When you enter the door of your mother's house, you feel awe-inspiring? I heard that you are separated. How many babies have you given back to your mother?"

Lin Mei: "Why are you talking about your second child? Xiaoxin, this kid will roll around if he doesn't like it, and it's time to take care of it."

Old Mrs. Lin looked at Xiao Wang, "Quickly enter the house, are you thirsty, drink some water."

While she was talking, she went to look at the baskets of the two girls.

The two girls like to fight and compare, trying to bring something to her every time.

As a result, she was stunned when she saw it this time.

Why do you bring some eggplants in summer?

I can't finish what I grow at home.

Four girls...empty?

Come to your mother's house empty-handed?

This is for free!

Lin Lan saw that the old lady's expression had changed, so she stuffed the basket into her mother's arms, "Mother, when we split up, we divided a few kilograms of rations. I was starving to death after the last meal. . I also divided a few dollars, I went to buy two tanks, and also bought some household items. By the way, I bought you a basket..."

As soon as Mrs. Lin loosened her hand, the basket fell to the ground and jumped, and then Gu Lulu rolled away.

Sister Lin and Sister Lin hurriedly stepped forward: "Old three and four, which one do you sing? Don't be angry with your mother."

They helped the old lady into the house.

Lin Lan wrongly said: "Mother, if I can't take things back, I just go into the house and drink water. If I don’t take things, I’m not a human being. I’m not allowed to enter the house, right? We walked all the way and died of thirsty. Besides, I brought the basket. No empty hands."

Lin Mei is laughing to death, the fourth child, the dead girl, this is a problem.

She stuffed her basket into Lin Lan's hands, "If you split up, your mother-in-law doesn't have your own vegetable garden or something? You can't bring some cucumbers and persimmons to your mother? Always bring two pastries, like this today. Many people don't have to eat." As he said, he looked at Lin Lan proudly, and if he dared to tell the gluttonous things, he would not make cotton for her.

Lin Lan: "Sister Sister, how can I compare to you? You have been in charge of the house a long time ago, and the family has a lot of money. I just separated, except for two broken houses, which is 100 yuan..."

What?

Old Mrs. Lin immediately turned her head to look at her, with fire in her eyes.

One hundred dollars?

Mrs. Lin hasn't seen a hundred dollars, and now she has less than twenty dollars.

Lin Lan sighed, "When I was separated, I said yes, and then I owe it. Now I have given ten yuan, and I rushed to a set, and it was not enough to buy some bits and pieces. So, I wondered if my mother was right? ..."

"What do you want? Ask me for money? I don't have one!" The old lady Lin put her hands like a rattle.

Lin Mei looked at the four sisters. She knew about the 100 yuan. The ladies in Shanzui Village knew about Lin Lan's meal at the fair.

But it is estimated that it hasn't arrived here yet.

"If you don’t borrow food and don’t borrow money, you can give two catties of cotton, my mother, I didn’t separate the quilt and the cloth. Now Dawang doesn’t have a padded jacket, and Erwang’s sanwang wears are all smaller, you say... …"

"You...you wimpy girl, why did I give birth to you such a wimpy girl, can't you make a fuss, why don't you make a fuss? Are you dumb? You take a rope to hang in front of their house, no more You go to the brigade and hang yourself..."

Lin Lan: ...but know why the original owner likes to hunt for death and scare people.

Xiao Wang cried when she was frightened.

Sister Lin and Sister Lin Wang Lianying came together, and Wang Lianying stuffed Xiaowang a piece of pastry, "Good boy, don't cry."

Wang Lianying said to Mrs. Lin: "Mother, it's getting late, let's have dinner earlier."

Mrs. Lin was unwilling, "Everyone came to eat with ten big carrots, how can I manage it?" She is a mother-in-law and she can bear it, and she doesn't have any complaints when she is a brother.

Sister Lin smiled and said: "Mother, what you said, it's not okay for your daughters to come to the house to have a meal? The daughters who really married will throw out the water?"

Second Sister Lin also yelled, "That's right, if this is the case, then we have no face. Let's go with the fourth sister. Sister-in-law, let's go!"

Wang Lianying hurriedly smiled and said: "You are all done, don't make a joke, you don't look out of shape, hurry up and clean up and let's eat."

Tang Hehua was still angry and kicked the basket on the ground fiercely.

Old Mrs. Lin said, "A good basket, what are you doing by kicking it? If it breaks, won't we lose it? Hurry up and put grass on the wall."

Because it hasn't been a long time, and the men haven't come back from work, Tang Hehua can't find a man to sue, so she can only drag the children to mutter sulking.

Mrs. Lin watched the four girls and didn't know what to look at, she suddenly became angry, "Why are you sticking, your mother is not a mother-in-law, can you really not let you eat?"

Lin Lan looked at her words and thoughts, feeling that the old lady was not that superb, and she wondered if she had to make a fuss like this, the old lady had to break up with herself.

She looked at the people, and in fact, the Lin family was relatively normal. The eldest sister and the second sister were older than them and got married early, and she and the third sister had been at home for a long time.

Fathers and mothers are ordinary patriarchal types. Since childhood, the fine grains of the family have been given to men. Men do not need to do housework when they go home, but they are not too harsh on their daughters. They should be full.

The elder brother has a good personality and is kind to his younger sister. In fact, he is kind and cowardly. My sister-in-law has read books for a few years, and it makes sense. Although her parents-in-law are patriarchal, they sometimes don't pay attention to them, but because they don't have an eccentric sister-in-law to bully their daughter-in-law, they get along fairly well.

The younger brother was a little bit more coddled. He went to school at home, but he didn't study hard. He went to a junior high school that was not as good as the elementary school before the Cultural Revolution.

The younger sister-in-law, Tang Hehua, is more pungent, so as to take advantage. Her family's conditions are good, and she has a good look at herself at home.

Because the second disciple Lin has a weaker temperament, she has always been in charge of her.

Lin Lan also wanted to test. If her family can tolerate her, she will continue to communicate normally in the future. If she can't tolerate her, then bye bye.

Her mouth flattened, "Old lady, you let me either take a rope or jump into the river all day long. Is it true or not? You don't know how easy it is for me to take it seriously?"

Co-author, don’t you know about my drinking pesticide a few days ago? Still irritating me so?

Old Mrs. Lin tweeted: "Today is my good day, so don't talk frustratingly. Who can you keep your careful thoughts away from our family? It's a minor problem."

Lin Lan didn't say anything, and raised her foot into the house.

The Lin family’s house is much smaller than that of the old lady Han. The old lady Han’s house is very deep. The south kang and the north kang can also put down the wardrobe and two big tanks. Old lady Lin’s only has the south kang, and there is a wardrobe in front of the kang. One tank is almost full.

Therefore, the main room also had a bowl and a water tank, which were so full that it was similar to Lin Lan's current cabin.

Although it was midday, the wooden windows of the house were small, but still window lattices, and the inside was not very bright.

Lin Lan took out the candy cube she had brought, and divided it into one for each child.

Adults can be angry, but children should be coaxed.

Wang Lianying whispered: "I heard that the child's uncle is back, is it all right?"

I also heard about Lin Lan drinking pesticides at home, but I don’t know it very clearly. According to the usual practice, after the original owner seeks death and scares people, he usually succeeds in bringing something back to his natal family to show off. People go to see her, only waiting for her to come back to her natal home to perform by herself.

Lin Lan smiled, "I came back a few days ago. This is not just to divide the family. I have divided half a catty of food a day..."

"Oh, half a catty isn't enough to eat. Half a catty eats poor laozi," Wang Lianying said after hesitating, "You have to order more for your own plot and vegetable plot. There are many kinds of carrots and potatoes, and they can be eaten as meals. There are still some at home. Dried sweet potatoes and sorghum rice, I will discuss with my parents when I turn around, so don’t worry about it..."

"Sister-in-law, I would be grateful for your words. If there is no food, his father will find a way." Lin Lan declined, because no one has enough food.

"Look at what you said, it's all from your own family. If you have a problem, you can make your nephew hungry?"

Sister Lin and Sister Lin also asked Lin Lan about the separation of the family, what they got and what they lacked, and they all said that they don’t have time to go to work to burn the kang, or they would just help with some things. , Sent her back to her family, let Lin Lan come over and get it.

They obviously feel that the fourth sister has changed, and it seems normal for the father to come back. It's a good thing.

The old lady snorted and glared at Lin Lan, "I haven't heard that she bought the jars and baskets, and she will return them to me. There is no cotton at home, and these children will probably not be able to get out in winter. Door. Be a sister, give her two catties of cotton paws."

The cotton claws are cotton that has been rolled for too long and is not warm. Cotton is in short supply at the moment, this is also a good thing, and it can be used even if it is bounced.

Sister Lin and the second sister have been married for a long time, and they have both been in charge.

Sister Lin also gave the cotton ticket for the dowry for the eldest girl to the envoy Lin Lan first, and waited for Lin Lan to return it in the coming year. Lin Lan declined, as long as she ordered the old cotton.

The second sister said that there was a torn padded jacket at home, so she went back to take it apart and wash it, and brought the cotton over and let Lin Lan use it to add the quilt.

Tang Hehua doesn't join in the fun, even if she has one, she won't give it up.

Wang Lianying was able to bring out half a catty of new flowers for the New Year. She was never willing to use it, saying that she was saving up to sew a new jacket for the man.

"Sigu has just been separated, and it must be missing. Take it back and add a jacket to Xiaowang."

When Mrs. Lin saw her daughter-in-law's statement, she took out three kilograms of old cotton and threw it on the kang, "It's the quilt you gave me before. I took apart and washed two beds to make one, and there was nothing left."

Lin Lan wanted to vent her anger, but she didn't expect everyone to be surprised, and she couldn't help making her eyes moist.

Mrs. Lin asked her eldest wife to find a rag strap to tie up the cotton, "Let her carry it back. The basket is left, and it looks better than Yun's father."

Lin Mei couldn't help but said: "I said mother, why didn't the fourth child bring things back, and if you didn't drive her away, you would give her a pretense. The sun came out from the west...

She put up a pergola and looked west.

The old lady Lin picked up the kang broom and slapped her at once, "Don't make your sister-in-law make a joke. My old Lin's family will just point to you something?"

Lin Mei exaggerated immediately: "Oh, don't expect, eldest sister and second sister, you don't need to bring anything in the future..."

"All right, Dad and them should be back and get ready to eat." Sister Lin said, "Don't be silly, the old lady is not as good as you are."

She is the eldest sister and the eldest sister and the second sister are about the same age, and they are doing well. Although the two sisters have fought with each other since childhood, they respect her and she is more easy-going with them.

When the men came back, Lalagua, said a few words, after eating, the men have to go to work.

Lin Lan went home with Mianhua and the two big couples on his back. Lin Mei walked three miles on the same road with her, helping her carry Xiaowang for a while.

The cotton was given by her natal family, and the big glutinous rice cake was given by the third sister, and the other two were naturally given to the old lady.

Before leaving, the old lady couldn't help but scolded her, "Don't stay away from the four or six all day, because the father of the child is back, so you can live a good life." In fact, the old lady also said before, but the original owner is not taking it seriously.

Lin Lan nodded, "I know, I will see you later."

At the intersection, Lin Mei was still carrying Xiao Wang, and Lin Lan asked her to put it down.

Lin Mei walked another mile with her back on her back before letting Xiaowang go, "As if I rarely walk with you, I am rare Xiaowang."

She took out a curly ticket from her pocket, "My mother secretly gave it to you, I also put together a piece for you..."

Lin Lan was stunned, "I don't want money, I have money."

She still has a lot more, richer than them.

"Don't talk about anything useless, you haven't listened to me since you were young, and you've separated your family to live a good life. Now you can buy things in one go, and you won't be able to bear it after a while." She stuffed the money to Lin Lan and touched Xiaowang again. Turned around and left.

Lin Lan took the money, suddenly felt that her eyes and nose were sore, and her vision was blurred, so she wiped her eyes to pick up the money.

"Xiaowang, don't look at your grandmother and third aunt being fierce, they are fine."

Xiaowang nodded, "We treat them well, too."

Lin Lan wanted to carry Xiao Wang on his back, but he refused, so she led him home with cotton and big glutinous rice cakes on his back.

When arrived home, found that the door was hanging and there was no one in the house, so guess they all went to work.

She opened the door and went home, Xiao Wang took the flute and went to play with the ducklings, while Lin Lan cleaned up the cotton, only to find a telegram on the table.

It was issued to Han Qingsong by the army: Quick return.
