Travel through 70 and take brothers and sisters to the countryside together

Lin Yike found the strong man guarding the house, paid him 100 copper coins, and took the children to pick fruits. Lin Kang finally caught up with his aunt and brothers today, his little face flushed with excitement.

Lin Yike told them not to throw it away if it didn’t taste good. He would make canned food for them in the evening. Several children were even more excited, and the fruit trees were full of children's cheers.

When Zhou Yanlang came to look for them, his brows were furrowed. No one had taken care of the apple trees and pear trees in this orchard. The apples were astringent, and the pears were not only not sweet, but also not crisp. They were soft when bitten. He didn't understand why Lin Yike picked so many apples and pears.

Ma Kui, Yang Si and others came to the fruit forest together and saw Zhou Yanlang leading the children to climb the tree and pick fruits. "Brother Tuesday, do you like to eat fruits? The fruits here are not delicious. I will take you to the back mountain to pick them later! This fruit forest is the orchard of the rich man from Chenjiagou. The soil here is not good and the fruits are not good. tasty.

Some time ago, their family disposed of their property early, but no one wanted this orchard. No, it was an advantage for us. "

Zhou Yanlang jumped down from the apple tree and looked at Ma Kui. "It's just kidding! Is everything settled?"

Ma Kui laughed loudly before Yang Si could reply. "It's all taken care of! I'm a good boy! Brother Zhou, you don't know, I've been working here for a month, I get up early and stay up late, sometimes I don't even sleep at night, and all my income combined is less than five dollars. More than one percent. I don’t know how many large households they robbed. The food was only fine rice and white flour, not any coarse grains, and the two carriages of gold, silver and treasure were not finished."

Zhou Lang picked an apple, rubbed it on his shirt, and took a bite. The sour taste made him frown. After working all day and night, I didn't even bother to take a few sips of water. I didn't expect this apple to taste so bad. “Second brother brought food and money to the orchard, why don’t you go and see what to do with it?

Coarse food, I wonder where that shit is? Halfway through the interrogation, the person died and everything that could be retrieved was removed. They had all the animals slaughtered, and we pulled back the carts and carriages, thinking of sharing them with the villagers who were carrying the burdens. Can you and Brother Ma check it out? "

Ma Kui patted Zhou Lang on the back with one hand, as if the two brothers were getting along well. "Okay, how could it not work? Why do I need a pallet truck? Is the pallet truck enough? If not, I will ask my brothers to search for it for everyone."

"No need! Let's go as much as you want!" Zhou Yanlang glanced at Ma Kui, turned around and walked towards the river.

Ma Kui stopped Zhou Lang with one hand, and when Zhou Yanlang glanced at him, he couldn't help but tremble. “Brother Zhou’s cold face is really bluffing!”

The villagers in Zhoujiazhuang were really excited today. Each member of the escort team received ten kilograms of rice, twenty kilograms of white flour, and a lot of clothing, quilts, and sundries. Another person took home 20 taels of silver.

Yang Mute's mother-in-law cried again. No one in their family joined the escort. Yang Si pushed a cart and gave it to them. There were a lot of sundries on the cart. In addition, Yang Mute was given ten taels of silver, although he did not give them rice. But he was also given five kilograms of white flour.

Madam Yang Mute sat on the cart, sobbing quietly. If there was a cart at home from the beginning, wouldn't the twenty kilograms of grain be wasted? Can you pack more things and escape?

Yang Muba's eyes immediately turned red when he saw the cart, and he kept gesticulating with his hands. Yang Si understood what he was talking about, waved to him and turned around to leave.

Yang Muba also wanted to hold Yang Si. He wanted to tell Yang Si: There is a cart at home, and the mother-in-law can take the food and children, and he can also join the escort team.

But Yang Si rejected him and just said something to him when he left. "Take care of the children and your mother-in-law."

The two families who helped the Lin family pull the oxcart down the mountain received two carts.

Huang Laizi, who was over fifty years old, squatted in front of the cart and cried.

Huang Laizi used to be a hunter in Zhoujiazhuang. His family used to be better than his family, but when he turned thirty, his parents died one after another. When he went hunting in the mountains, he encountered a pack of wolves.

The left leg was bitten off by the wolf, and the flesh of the thigh was torn away by the wolf. If he hadn't been clever enough to roll into the ravine with all his might, the trees on the grave would have become timber now. But he was lucky enough to survive. In order to treat his illness, there was a lot of famine in the family. After recovering from the illness, his left leg became lame. He could no longer hunt to support his family, and he became increasingly poor as time went by.

Two carts are not much of a household item, but for the poor people, they are a great household item. Especially for the villagers who can only escape with willow baskets, carts are so important to them!

No, another villager who got two carts had not only the old man crying, but also the daughters-in-law with red eyes.

The red clay bricks walked around the two carts for several times. After holding back the tears, they still flowed down. He kept mumbling. Saying "Okay! Okay! The child doesn't have to go to other people's homes to squeeze the bullock cart. Our family doesn't have many things. Two carts are enough, that's enough!"

The poorest Zhou Shuanzhu's family also had two carts, and his two sons took back 40 taels of silver, [-] pounds of rice and [-] pounds of white flour. Can Zhou Shuanzhu not cry? Even his mother-in-law cried, holding Bai Yin's hands, trembling, crying heartbreakingly, and slapped herself hard after crying.

Why! She shouldn't have scolded Erlang, she shouldn't have! She will stop scolding her from now on, she really won’t scold him anymore, she swears that she will treat Erlang and Sanlang as her own children in this life!

This afternoon, the villagers no longer envied the smell of the Lin family's meat, and all gritted their teeth and made a good meal.

The children were drinking white rice porridge, chattering and laughing. The steamed buns were mixed with half a catty of white flour, which made the children excitedly run around with the steamed buns and shout loudly. "My family makes white flour steamed buns! What I eat is white flour steamed buns!"

Zhou Qiaoyun curled her lips and looked at the dancing and fussing little kids, muttering in a low voice: "Shit white-faced steamed buns, how can they be called white-faced steamed buns if they are black and white?" The second brother gave my mother and father the white-flour steamed buns. The white-flour buns are whiter than snow, and the white-flour buns in your hands are blacker than dog excrement. Are they the white-flour buns that have ghosts?

During the Zhou family's dinner, Mrs. Zhou almost broke her teeth. She asked Chen Xiaocao to steam a pot of steamed buns directly with white flour. What made her determined to steam buns with white flour was not only because of the white noodles that Zhou Lang and Zhou Lang brought back, nor because Zhou Yanlang gave her another fifty kilograms of white flour, but because she and Old Man Zhou had secretly eaten white flour these days. Steamed bun.

Why! Even though I’m old, I still eat it secretly! I have been frugal and frugal all my life, and I wish I could pick out what I eat and give it to my children and grandchildren. She and Old Man Zhou felt really uncomfortable eating secretly every day.

Lin Yi didn't help with the Lin family's dinner tonight. Wang Ting and Xu Ying could do whatever they wanted. She took her three children, Lin Jin, Lin Shi, Lin Kang and Dabao, to make canned fruits.
