Chapter 22 Investigate Identity

"Today's work was done really quickly." Lin An counted the copper coins and earned twice as much as yesterday. Although he made more than the previous days, the sales were good.

"I earned eighty cash today, let's go buy food." Lin An put the money in his inner pocket, because the pocket was on his chest, so this posture was actually not elegant.

"Your actions are a bit rude." Mo Si coughed lightly and then pretended not to know Lin An.

"There are shirtless people on the street, how could I be rude."

"You...forget it if I don't tell you."

"Why did you tease me just now?" Mo Si asked after thinking for a while.

"Why did you play tricks on you?"

"Marriage is not a trivial matter, and the words of the matchmaker are indispensable."

"I don't have parents. I can make my own decisions. If I meet someone I like, I'll let someone introduce them." Lin An thought for a while, his body is only 15 years old, which is still very early.

Besides, after being here for such a long time, he always feels that he is an outsider. He looks at many things that are happening now as a bystander. The chance of meeting someone he likes seems to be very small.

"It's fine if you don't meet, the key is to communicate with each other." Lin An felt that he was quite hypocritical after speaking.

After Lin An finished speaking, he felt that his thoughts had gone wrong. This man was complaining that he was pimping him.

"You actually have such an idea?"

"Yeah, don't reason with me, I won't change my mind."

Lin An can't change this place, but he won't be assimilated by everything here either.

"Ideological communication is indeed important." Mo Si pondered what Lin An said, perhaps it was the first time he heard such remarks, or from a country boy, which made him feel a little unbelievable, Under what circumstances would such a person appear?

Lin An went to the store where he bought food last time. The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic when he saw Lin An, but he calmed down quickly, as if thinking of the experience last time, but soon he His expression changed again.

"The two gentlemen are welcome." The shopkeeper warmly greeted Mo Si after seeing him.

"Twenty Wen for white rice."

"Twenty Wen?" The shopkeeper stretched out two fingers uncertainly and gestured in front of Mo Si again.

"These twenty coins are not enough for a few meals." The shopkeeper reminded Mo Si a few more times without giving up.

"Listen to him, he makes the decision." Mo Yan looked at Lin An in front of him staring at him with a look of fun, and felt a little funny in his heart.

"Then twenty coins?" Clearing his throat, the shopkeeper came to Lin An again and asked nicely.

"Well, I'll come to pick it up later, and I might become a regular customer in the future, so I can't give it too badly."

Lin An went out, wondering if he should come to this store next time.

Because Uncle Li is coming to repair the wall at home today, Lin An went to buy some meat. When he came, he planned to buy it from Orion’s house, but Orion only took some leather today, so Lin An had to go to other places to buy some more. up.

After Lin An bought the meat, he met Uncle Li on the way back. He seemed to be in a bad mood, and he didn't have much to say after seeing Lin An.

"What's wrong."

"It's okay, it may be more troublesome to take a car in the future." Uncle Li's usual voice is very confident, but now he really feels like he doesn't want to say more.

"is there anything?"

"My boss said he didn't want any more firewood, so he found someone else." Uncle Li fell silent again after he finished speaking, because his family had a bullock cart, so selling firewood was a big income for their family, but now it was suddenly cut off. It was quite a blow.

"So suddenly?" Lin An also knew that Uncle Li had been doing business with this company for quite a long time, so logically speaking, it shouldn't be broken just like that.

"It is said that I bought another one. That one is closer and the price is cheaper."

After Lin An heard this, he had no other explanations. This kind of business was based on their own interests, and there was no reason to blame others.

Along the way, because of Uncle Li's matter, Lin An and Mo Si didn't say anything else as usual, and the three of them kept silent in a tacit understanding.

When he was about to reach the village, Lin An suddenly asked Uncle Li if he could take him to the city, where he would have lunch for ten pennies a day.

"How can I earn your money?"

"It's nothing. I also went to the city to earn money. I should pay you the travel expenses. Besides, your family also needs money. If you don't want it, I will spend money to find another family."

After listening to Lin An's words, Uncle Li just sat in the car and didn't answer. After waiting for a few minutes, he sighed, gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Forget about lunch, I'll bring it myself and save some for you."

"Don't save me, the price is not too high, if you save me, I will feel sorry for you."

Lin An and Uncle Li chatted and arrived home.

Lin An, who was far away, saw that Uncle Li's wall was half built, and there were two children squatting next to him. Lin An looked at him and wondered which family it belonged to.

After Lin An came back, the two children sneaked away. Uncle Li and Uncle Li should have talked about this incident, and the atmosphere between the two became dull because of this. Uncle Li sighed and told Uncle Li again. Lin An said hello and left. Before leaving, he also said that the milk would be delivered later.

In fact, Uncle Li’s Niu gave birth to a calf for more than a month, and now he has enough milk, but this is not a long-term thing, so it is no pity to sell this recipe.

Looking at the wall, it is not too much to fall, so one day's work is more than enough, especially with the help of Lin An and Mo Si, the wall has been repaired in the middle of the afternoon.

Maybe it was because Lin An seemed to be a little different from before, and some idle people in the village would squat under the crooked neck tree in front of Lin An's gate and chat with Uncle Li.Occasionally, I would say a few words to Lin An.

When things were almost done, Lin An went to cook. He hasn't gone to the river to pick taro today, and there are still a lot of things to do after eating.Mo Si was thrown aside by Lin An and let Uncle Li order him around at will, but Uncle Li was embarrassed to speak when he saw Mo Si like that. He looked like a noble man, how could he do heavy work?So one of these two people is just working hard, and the other is just hanging around, only occasionally having a chance to intervene.

Lin An still had some roe roe meat that he bought yesterday, and today he bought another chicken, which was killed by the boss directly. The chickens here are actually running all over the mountain, looking for food by themselves, and they are delicious. Very, it will not be like feed chicken, the meat will fall apart after a pot, and it will still have a powdery feeling.Lin An spent ten Wen on the chicken, and even gave the boss a bowl of sugar water.

There are only three dishes for a meal for three people, but because there are two pieces of meat, it can't be better to eat in the eyes of ordinary people.

When Lin An came up with the bowl, he could hear Uncle Li swallowing his saliva. Although Lin An's fence had been repaired, he didn't close the courtyard door, so he clearly saw a few half-grown children outside carrying the bowl. Squat at the door of his house and look inside.

Lin An looked inside. Some of them played well with the children of Zuo Xianglian's family, and met them bullying Xiaomao together, so he didn't like these children. If it was someone else, he might Just called in and ate together.

"These are old fritters. Whoever has something to eat will squat in front of their house. Their mothers and fathers don't care. Don't give them any favors. They will chase after you every day." Uncle Li was afraid that Lin Anxin Soft, remind me quickly.

"Eat." Lin An was talking to Uncle Li about the children outside, Mo Si looked at the chopsticks in his hand in a daze, and didn't know what he thought of.

Because the wall was repaired relatively quickly, Lin An made dinner in advance. After eating, Lin An still had to prepare sugar water for tomorrow, and Mr. Li had already delivered the milk.

Although there are a lot of taros by the river, they can't withstand Lin An's picking. From the first day until now, he has walked along the river and has already left the village.It's not easy to go to the city once. Lin An and Mo Si have been busy until dark before going back. Last time, Lin An found the kerosene lamp that Zuo Xianglian wanted to come and get under his bed. There aren't many left, so it won't take long.

Lin An and Mo Si hurried left and right and finally finished all the work before the kerosene lamp was used up. It was already very late when the two of them finished their work, and they didn't have any energy to think about other things after taking a shower.

After Lin An fell asleep, Mo Si got up after watching the figure flashing by outside.
