beautiful teenager picking mushrooms

The three of them didn't see Lin An coming out, the two younger ones stretched out their dirty hands and began to pinch everywhere on the quilt they had just hung out.

"Mother, this quilt is so soft that it won't be cold if you cover it in winter." The younger child put the bucket aside and grabbed the corner of the quilt with excitement.

"You're really clever, come and take a look after you finish lifting the water." That woman was the same Zuo Xianglian who came yesterday. She really didn't regard herself as an outsider at all, and was even a little proud of her son's intelligence.

"Will Mr. Lin let us take it?" It was the older child who spoke at this time.

"The one from the Lin family is about to die. What do you do with these good things? It's not cheap. The Xiaomao family has never seen them do anything good, but now they are courteous." Zuo Xianglian felt annoyed when she said that. He also put his hand on the quilt and touched it twice.

"Don't touch your dirty hands, you won't need to wash them." She patted the hands of the two children away and saw Lin An standing at the door as soon as she turned around.

"What's the matter? Are you coming to my house again?" Lin An tried his best to make himself look calmer. He really didn't expect that a person could be so shameless.

"Hey, are you in good health? I didn't feel relieved to visit you yesterday. At that time, I was still lying on the bed and couldn't move. Now I feel refreshed all of a sudden. I really have to thank God." Zuo Xianglian was surprised by Lin An's sudden appearance just now, and immediately changed her face, as if what happened a while ago didn't exist, let alone what she just said.

The two younger ones saw that Lin An was not like their mother, but they couldn't hide their disdain behind their mother.

"Really? I don't know if you found the kerosene lamp that Aunt Zuo came to my house to look for yesterday?" Lin An took a step aside and distanced herself from Aunt Zuo.

"Oh, you said that, you also know that my nephew is going to take the exam for a scholar. It's okay to read without a light this night. I saw that your house happened to have a kerosene lamp. I can borrow it for a few days if I look for it." Zuo Although my aunt felt that Lin An seemed to be different today from the past, she didn't think much of it when she saw that he was speaking weakly, and just did what she should do.

"If you don't ask, you are stealing. I don't know if your second nephew knows the meaning of this sentence?" Lin Anpi said this sentence with a smile on his face, and looked at the woman's complexion with satisfaction.She didn't quite understand the rhetoric of these scholars, but he still knew what it meant to steal.

"Am I stealing? What did I steal from your house? Why didn't you say I was stealing when you ate my food and drank from me? If I hadn't come to your house every day to see you, how could you have lived to this day? Everyone in this village But it’s all just watching, you said all the good things at that time, what’s wrong? Now you’re turning your back on others?” Seeing that Lin An didn’t like that at all, the woman started to make excuses, opened her throat and started Curse outside.

"You know what you stole. What's the reason for you, a woman, to come to my house every day? Does your man not care at all?"

Lin An saw that there were already people stretching their necks to look inside, and he wasn't afraid to say it badly. In this era, reputation is everyone's life. Almost gossiping.

"You! How can you be so shameless as a scholar? Don't talk nonsense!" Zuo Xianglian also saw someone pointing outside and had to lower her confidence.

"What are you still standing there for? You don't want to get out!" Zuo Xianglian's man also came out at some time, angrily pushed aside the crowd and glared at Lin An viciously.

Unwilling, Zuo Xianglian glared back at Lin An again, and then resolutely carried the bucket and staggered the youngest son who was still standing there.

"Mom! Shall we take the quilt away now?"

"What are you hugging! Why don't you go back quickly!" The man saw that his youngest son was still there and was reluctant to leave, so he slapped the boy on the head.

The people outside the door are people from the village who usually don't look up and look down. They don't know about Lin An, but they know a lot about Zuo Xianglian and his family. There is no entertainment in this place. It is also a topic of conversation for everyone after dinner.

Lin An glanced at the people outside the wall, and while talking, he curled his lips and shook his head. Lin An was far away, so he didn't know what they said.Lin An didn't stand at the door for people to watch for free. He watched Zuo Xianglian's family go back and continued with unfinished business. Now he has to clean out the main house before dark, and then go to the one that Xiao Mao said in the afternoon. Uncle Li went to see if he could get a ride.

The time of the day was faster than Lin An imagined. After he cleaned the house and was about to go out to deal with the grass in the yard, he realized that it was already dark. I haven't eaten anything else since those brown rice porridges, and now my stomach starts to feel uncomfortable after a little leisure.

Lin An squatted in front of the cucumber vines and picked the last two thin cucumbers with some reluctance, then went to the kitchen to scoop up a ladle of water, and ate the cucumbers one mouthful at a time.After eating, he went to Xiao Mao's house and asked him to take him to Uncle Li's house.

Walking on the small road, many villagers are already rushing back from the field with hoes on their shoulders. There are still many children playing and playing on the ridge of the field, and smoke is also wafting from the chimneys of several farm houses. The clouds on the top of the mountain are also orange-yellow reflected by the last afterglow of the sun.Such a scene suddenly calmed Lin An's restless heart.

Xiaomao in front is struggling to speed up his pace, and his thin body looks even thinner under some loose clothes.

"Horse~horse...it's here."

"Well, we are not in a hurry, let's go slowly."

After hearing Lin An's words, Xiao Mao smiled a little embarrassedly, and his sallow face seemed to make people feel more distressed in the corner of the eye.

Uncle Li's house is located in the inner part of the village, and the house is not too big. Maybe there are not many people in the house. There is a woman washing vegetables by the stream outside the door.

"Li~Grandma~"

"Hey, Xiao Mao is here? Is there something wrong?" The old lady of the Li family didn't see Lin An at first, so she looked very approachable, but she frowned after her eyes fell on Lin An, and her tone calmed down. .

When Xiao Mao heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at Lin An, and motioned him to explain his purpose.

"Grandma Li, I heard from Xiao Mao that Uncle Li is going to town tomorrow, so I just wanted to ask, can you give me a ride?" Grandma Li's complexion changed slightly after hearing this.

"What's the matter?" Before Li's grandma had time to answer, an old man who seemed to be in his 50s came over with a cow. Lin An heard from Xiao Mao that besides his wife, there were three other grandparents in Li's family. Sons, the eldest son and the younger son are farmers, and the second son is a hunter. The second son went hunting in the woods in winter when he got married and never came back. After a few months, his mother-in-law was taken back by her natal family.

"Uncle Li, I want to go to town tomorrow. I wonder if I can take your ox cart." Unlike the original Lin Chuyi, Lin An does not place himself in a high position, so his commitment Uncle Li was a little flattered by the gesture of asking for help.

"Oh, what do I think, you get up early, I will call out when I pass by your house tomorrow morning, and you will come out when the time comes, and I won't wait for you after the hour." Uncle Li seemed quite talkative , when he walked over, he touched Xiaomao's head by the way.

"Thank you very much. I will be waiting for you at the door early tomorrow morning." After Lin An finished speaking, he looked at Uncle Li standing there with some embarrassment, and then said with some embarrassment, "You scholars speak It’s neat and tidy, we rough people can’t tell.”

Uncle Li's words made Lin An not think of what to pick up for a while, so he could only smile, because he actually doesn't know the dialect here, he can understand it but can't speak it, he is really grateful for his current place The accent is like the northern dialect of country Z. If he goes to the south, he won't be able to fool around the first pass.

After returning from Uncle Li's house, Xiao Mao's speed slowed down, and he didn't talk as much as before.The sound of insects in the countryside kept coming and going, and the sound of frogs in the rice fields not far away was drowned out. Occasionally, a few birds flew by at low altitude.

"you're home."

"I~ I~ I will return..."

Xiao Mao was a little anxious when he said this, and also quickened his pace back.

After Lin An said goodbye to him, he walked home. Before he could step into the house after turning around, he heard Grandma Xiao Mao calling him back for dinner, and asked why Lin An wasn't allowed to go with him.

"Grandma, I've already eaten." Lin An thought for a while and finally understood Xiaomao's actions just now. There are only two people in their family and an old man. How can there be any extra food for a toddler?It's good to be able to eat by yourself.

After Lin An finished speaking, he went home and closed the door.

Because most poor people here don't know how to light the lights at night, they finish their dinner early. Lin An didn't have anything to eat, so he went to the kitchen to boil water by himself, planning to wash up.

There are not many usable things in the kitchen, so I found a flint and put it directly on the stove, and thankfully it was there, otherwise I couldn't keep it.

Lin An also used this kind of earthen stove at home before he was seven years old, but it is slightly more beautiful than this one, but the structure is similar, so although this thing is a bit unfamiliar to use, it still caught fire after several failures. There was no firewood at home, and it was probably taken by Zuo Xianglian and his family, so I had to find all the dead wood branches in the yard to make cushions first.

After Lin An finished boiling the water, it was completely dark, and there were still many children playing not far away. Lin An leaned against the bathtub under the moonlight, feeling sore all over his body. After thinking for a while, he felt that he needed to hurry up. There are too many things to do, and now he has nothing but this house, he is simply poor and useless.

After taking a shower, Lin An dragged his sore body to the bed, because he had dried the quilt during the day, now his nose was filled with the smell of sunshine and the sound of mosquitoes whirling around his ears.But it was nothing, because he had already fallen asleep within a minute of falling down.

Because he promised that Uncle Li would wait for him at the door earlier, it was still dark when Lin An got up the next day. He knew that in summer, it would dawn early, and it would take time to go to Lu Town, so he would usually get up much earlier.

When Uncle Li came, Lin An was already waiting at the door with his last little money in his pocket. He was wearing a long gown. Not to mention it was quite cold this morning. Although he didn't like the clothes, there was nothing he could do. , because Mr. Lin's house is full of this kind of clothes.
