Liu Shuang was taken away, several children were arranged, and the others regarded it as watching a good show, saying a few words occasionally, but most of the time they were busy.

The children who went after Liu Shuang also ran back after following for a while, and all ran to Lin Yi to look for him.

"Uncle, you can take us with you, we don't want to go to Uncle's house." This is Lin Fu's eldest son, Lin Kaiming.

Then came Lin Gui's Hu Zi, "Uncle, take us with you, we will be very obedient."

The other three younger ones didn't speak, but looked up at Lin Yi. A group of children had cried just now, and their eyes were still red at the moment.

It's just that this didn't arouse Lin Yi's sympathy, "I've been calling me uncle here, but I've never heard you call me uncle before."

A group of children looked at Lin Yi without speaking, and their eyes turned red, as if they could cry again immediately.

And Lin Yi continued: "When I snatched your meatballs, why didn't I think of it now? Don't your father and uncle have a good relationship with the uncle's family? Why don't you want to go to his house and come to find me?"

Lin Yi asked one question after another, but he didn't get any response.

"Both of you are over ten years old, do you really think you are too young?" Lin Yi pointed to Lin Kaiming and Huzi and said.

"Uncle, just take us with you, I'm sure I won't make trouble, and I will listen to you." Lin Kaiming had already begun to wipe away tears.

"I can't control you, and I can't control you. Go to your grandpa's house. Didn't you often go to their house before? Why don't you let them go there now?"

"Uncle, Grandpa will definitely let us go to work, uncle, please, just take us with you." Lin Kaiming continued crying.

"You guys want to go to my house because you don't want to work." Lin Yi was amused by these words, why?

"Let me say one last thing. I will take the two youngest ones with me. You older ones, if you want to go, your grandpa will go. If you don't go, then you can live in this house. Anyway, I don't care about it, and I don't care about it. Let you remember that what you plant will eventually reap what you have done, think about what you have done before."

It's not that it is not reported, the time has not come.

Even if it is a child, God will not forgive more.

Lin Yi walked away with the two little ones in each hand, and took them to Sun Xiu's house. Lin Yi didn't do anything, and the two little ones were frightened and cried loudly.

Lin Yi was impatient, "Shut up! If you cry again, I'll throw you into the river!"

The child didn't care about Lin Yi's threats, and cried even louder. Maybe people outside thought he was beating the two children behind closed doors.

Lin Yi immediately picked up a child and held it high, "If you dare to cry again, I will throw you to the ground and kill you!"

This threat was much more effective than throwing it into the river. The child stopped crying immediately and just hiccupped.

One stopped crying, and the other one could be cleaned up. Lin Yi told them to stand still, "I don't care if you understand or not, anyway, I will just say this once. If you make mistakes in the future, I will be blamed for doing it."

The two children were frightened by Lin Yi for a moment, and now they could only nod obediently. Seeing that they nodded, Lin Yi continued: "When I go to my house in the future, I have the final say on everything. If you do what Jean does, you will have nothing to eat. Also, if you dare to bully my Lantern Festival, I will throw you up on the mountain to feed wild boars. I will teach you the rest, as long as you are obedient, if you dare not Listen, then wait!"

Lin Yi didn't want to do anything to the child, and he didn't want to threaten the child for no reason, but he was filled with dissatisfaction, and this child was really not his favorite, and he was taught to be bad at such a young age, so he naturally didn't want to treat him well. .

But if you are obedient, just say it. If you are not obedient, you don't mind using sticks to educate.

After finishing speaking, Lin Yi asked them to go out, "Okay, I'll stay here for a few days, and I'll take you back after the funeral is over!"

Let them play by themselves when they leave the room. He is busy and has no time to take care of them.

After dinner at night, the people who beat the gongs and drums invited by Lin Yi began to build a dojo for Sun Xiu. According to their local customs, all this was done, and all relatives had to follow behind with incense sticks. Lin Yi also pulled a group of children over. These children were afraid of Lin Yi at the moment, so naturally they didn't dare not listen to him.

It lasted until midnight, and only those who played the gongs and drums went to sleep, but people had to be guarded in front of the mourning hall. Mr. Lin asked them all to go to sleep, and he himself guarded.

In this winter, Lin Yi was naturally worried, so he kept watch with him. Lin An didn't go to sleep, but came with him. The father and son guarded Sun Xiu's night together.

The youngest Lin didn't do anything that day, and his mood was not stable. Both Lin Yi and Lin An were a little worried.

Lin Yi said to Lin Laosan: "Father, don't be too sad, take care of yourself, we are only left with you as an elder."

Lin An quickly followed suit, "Yes, Dad, you can't make any trouble, otherwise what would you ask us to do?"

Lin Laosan sighed heavily, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I just feel uncomfortable when someone leaves, and I'll be fine after a while."

"Father, it's useless to think about anything when people are gone. Let's live a better life, and Ah will be happy to see it." Lin Yi said, Sun Xiu came to apologize to him, so I'm sure they are living well will be happy.

Lin Lao San stopped talking, and it was difficult for Lin Yi and Lin An to continue to mention this matter with him.

After a long time, it was a bit too quiet, Lin An took the initiative to find out and said, "Brother, you have to take care of two more children, can you live at home?"

Lin Yi hadn't thought about this question before, and he frowned when Lin An mentioned it, feeling annoyed.

"If they can't afford to live, they can only make do with it in the main room. Now that the family doesn't expect to be able to repair the house, they can only live first." Lin Yi said.

And the impact of this incident is not the only one. It is okay to repair the house. After the first seven years, it will be almost the same. The biggest impact is the imperial examination. Those who participated in the imperial examination.

Have to wait until three years later.

"Otherwise, you can send one to me. I happened to bring Jingzi too, so I took the two together." Lin An offered to help Lin Yi share one.

Lin Yi shook his head and refused, "Brother An, I know you are here to help me, but you can't take care of those two children, you are not in good health, and Jingzi is so thin, if you pass by, you will definitely be bullied by him, although my side is crowded , but I can manage it, and it’s fine.”

After hearing Lin Yi's words, Lin An thought that it was indeed the case. He was also worried that Jingzi would be bullied. After thinking about it, Lin An said, "Then why don't you just move here? Anyway, everyone left and no one left." Live, this good house is empty and empty."

Lin Yi didn't have a good impression of this place, and he didn't want to live here, but he still asked Lin Laosan first, "Father, what do you think?"

Lin Laosan also refused, "The family is separated, and it won't look good when they come back. After a while, I can add another one next to the thatched cottage to live in."

Lin Yi nodded, this is fine, "Father, I still want to build a new house after the first seven years of the new year, what do you think?"

"Why do you want to build a house again? Didn't you mean buying a house in the town?" Lin Laosan asked. He still wanted to buy a house in the town, as long as the house in the village could accommodate people.

Lin Yi said: "Father, you can buy it in the town, but the houses in this village also need to be repaired. It is impossible for our whole family to move to live in the town immediately. The houses in this village must also be repaired. We always live in thatched huts. It's not the case."

Thinking about it this way, "Is that enough money?" Lin Laosan hasn't worried about money since the separation, so until now he doesn't know how much money his family has.

Lin Yi said: "Father, don't worry, there will be no shortage, even if it is not enough, I can find a way to earn it."

"Come on, then we'll figure it out after your first seven days."

Lin An was a little surprised when he heard what they said, "Father, brother, what are you talking about buying a house in the town? How expensive are the houses in this town? Where do you get so much money?"

Lin Yi said to Lin An, "Didn't I tell you before that I was studying medicine with others in the town? Later, my master went away on business, so he let me manage the pharmacy and left money for me. If you look at the pharmacy in the town, let me buy a house in the town."

Lin An found it hard to believe these words, "Really?"

Lin Yi said: "Of course it's true, Dad knows it too, if you don't believe me, you can ask him."

Lin An looked at Lin Laosan, Lin Laosan nodded to him, "It's true."

Having said that, Lin An naturally believed it.

"That's great, my brother is more promising now." Lin An was sincerely happy for Lin Yi.

"Brother An, don't say that. In fact, I am really grateful to Brother An. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid..."

"For Chinese New Year, what do you say, as long as you are well, Brother An will be happy." Lin Yi was interrupted by Lin An before he could finish speaking.

In this way, Lin Yi couldn't continue to say anything, and instead talked about other things, talking all night until dawn.

The next day is still very busy. After death, most people have to do a three-day dojo, plus other things, so they stay at home for at least five days, and sometimes there are seven days.

Now it's the Chinese New Year, and the people in the whole village have not been able to have a good New Year, so naturally they went out in five days.

After looking at the cemetery, the next step was to dig a hole. The place was chosen on the mountain behind. Lin Yi asked a lot of people to dig it, and then went to the town to ask someone to carve a stone tablet, because it was during the Chinese New Year, and there were more of them. A sum of money, added up before and after, has gone to 20 taels of silver.

On the evening of the fourth day of the first lunar month, there was a funeral banquet. Twenty tables were full, and it took two rounds of sitting for all the people who came to eat.

These people include people from the same village, some from other villages, and relatives of Sun Xiumo's family.

Lin Yi was very busy and had no time to greet people at all, so these people greeted themselves after they came, but fortunately nothing went wrong.

The next morning after the funeral banquet was the day of mourning. Lin Yi was holding the spirit card, wearing hemp and mourning, followed by Lin An, followed by Zheng Yu and Liu Laizi. Several children, Lin Yi also let them go, and they really should To send Sun Xiu off.

Paper money was scattered all the way from home to the mountain, like snow falling all over the sky, the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers never stopped all the way, Lin Yi did everything he could, and he gave Sun Xiu a decent leave.

The coffin fell into the pit dug long ago, and handfuls of soil fell on it, and it was quickly and completely buried.

The soil gradually piled up into a mountain bag, the stone tablet was erected on the mountain bag, and stones were piled up around it, and the sound of firecrackers sounded again to bid farewell to Sun Xiu for the last journey.

Afterwards, everyone went down the mountain and went to Lin's house to have breakfast. After eating, everything passed like this. Except for Lin Yi and the others who had to keep their filial piety, everyone else could celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.

After tidying up the place, returning the borrowed tables, chairs and benches to others, Lin Yi paid for the help, and finally sent everyone away, only their family and Lin An's family and a group of children were left. Boss Lin didn't know what It was time to go back, but did not take the three children away.

Lin Yi asked Zheng Yu to pack up the clothes worn by these children. He didn’t know anything about the rest of the house except the leftover vegetables. He was killed a long time ago, but he didn't see any meat at home. Except for a little food left, there was really not much else.

Lin Yi gave each of them a bag containing clothes, "Take your own. The three older ones will follow me now. I will take you to your grandpa's house. The two younger ones will follow your grandpa. Don't dawdle."

The three elders were extremely reluctant to go to Mrs. Lin, so Lin Yi asked directly, "Do you think anyone else will care about you?"

Now I have nothing to say, and I have to go if I don't want to.

Lin Yi told them on the road, "You are already in your teens, you need to grow your brains."

He didn't say much, anyway, he reminded him, and it was up to them to listen or not.

When we arrived at Mrs. Lin's family, the door was closed, but when Lin Yi saw the smoke coming from the roof, he knew that there must be someone in the room. He knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came to open the door.

Lin Yi directly kicked the door, "Uncle, the magistrate said it. If you don't raise these children, I don't mind if we go to the yamen again!"

After speaking, Lin Yi kicked the door hard again, and then the door opened soon. As soon as he opened the door, Lin Yi saw Boss Lin's smiling face.

Lin Yi directly pushed the three children in front of him, "I brought them to you, and I will leave them to you. You take good care of them. I think Lin Fu and Lin Gui will thank you when they come back."

After Lin Yi said this, he turned and left without hesitation. Boss Lin shouted behind him, "Boy Yi, my family can't support so many, you take them all away!"

Lin Yi turned around, "You talk to the magistrate!"

Boss Lin fell silent now, staring at Lin Yi's leaving back with hatred, waited for him to walk away before rudely pushing the three children in, and slammed the door shut.

Lin Yi didn't hear it, and naturally he didn't see it either. After he left, he went straight home to chase Zheng Yu and the others.

Went to He Liang's house to pick up Yuanxiao, Jingzi was also placed here, and they happened to pick them up together.

I haven't seen my father for a few days. No matter how sensible these two children are, they are still young. When they see people, they start crying non-stop, which makes adults feel bad. Lin Yi and Zheng Yu are changing their ways The children were coaxing people, but Lin An and Liu Xizi were not much better over there, and hurried home with the children in their arms.

The same goes for Lin Yi and the others. They walked home with the Lantern Festival in their arms. They heard dogs barking before they got close. These days, Lin Yi never thought about it. It was Lin Lao San who came back every day to give him a meal. .

Seeing the owner come back now, Ciba and Rice Cake barked happily, wagging their tails and jumping up to bark. From time to time, they could see a dog's head popping out from the gate of the fence.

Hearing the barking of the dog, Yuan Xiao stopped crying, so Lin Yi put him on the ground and let him run over by himself. Zheng Yu was afraid that he would fall, so he quickly followed after he was about to open the door. Lin Yi walked behind, watching The two children following Lin Laosan, "As long as you don't hurt the two dogs, they won't bite you. Anyway, as long as you are obedient, everything is easy to talk about."

The two children were so scared that they didn't listen to Lin Yi's words at all.

Seeing them like this, Lin Yi didn't say anything, and walked in first.

Seeing Lin Yi leaving, Lin Laosan looked at the two children who were about to cry at any moment, but he didn't know what to say, so he sighed and led them to move on.

As soon as they entered the yard, the two dogs immediately surrounded them and sniffed the two children here and there, getting a little closer, and then Lin Yi, who was about to enter the house, heard a sound that rang through the sky. A cry, and then two, like a game, completely crying at the top of your throat.

Lin Yi's ears hurt from the shock, and when he turned around, he saw the same circled dog faces of Ciba and Rice Cake. He looked at the two children motionless, as if he didn't understand why they were crying.

Lin Yi had no choice but to walk over, chase the two dogs away, and directly covered the child's mouth, "Why are you crying, and they didn't bite you!"

"Okay, don't worry about them, let me persuade you, you go and get busy." Lin Laosan asked Lin Yi to go about his own affairs.

Lin Yi really didn't care about them, so he left it to Lin Laosan. No one lived in the house for a few days, and they haven't even changed their clothes. Naturally, they have to clean up.

As soon as Zheng Yu entered the house, he started to boil water, and Lin Yi was busy cleaning.

However, the crying that he thought would become smaller soon became louder for some reason. Lin Yi went out to take a look, and saw Ciba and rice cakes surrounded him again. The two children looked at the sky and shouted at the top of their voices. .

Lin Yi had no choice but to ask Lin Laosan to lead them into the house. Dogs usually don't come into the house when they are outside.

However, after Yuan Xiao saw the two children, she ran out unhappy, and would rather play with the dogs than with them.

In this way, Lin Yi was even more displeased when he saw the two children, thinking that he must have bullied Yuan Xiao before, otherwise how could Yuan Xiao reject them.

"Don't cry! I didn't bite you, why cry? If you cry again, just leave!" Lin Yi threatened people with a fierce face.

The two children were really frightened, they bit their fingers and slowly stopped crying, mainly because they didn't dare.

But no matter how fierce Lin Yi was, the youngest Lin didn't say anything about him, obviously acquiescing.

Lin Yi noticed it, but he didn't hit anyone.

Cleaned up the house, ate the leftovers brought back from there at noon, all vegetarian dishes, and distributed the meat dishes to those who helped. The family can't eat meat until the first seven is over, and can only eat all vegetarian dishes up.

Although Lin Yi went to ask Zhang Mugen to help him make the bed after the meal, he would sleep with Lin Laosan for the past two days, since the child is still young, so he is not afraid.

After that, they went to other people's houses to ask for straw, and went up the mountain to chop wood. Lin Yi and Lin Laosan built another small house for the two children to live in.

After they set it up, the bed was almost back, and Lin Yi also ran to the town, went to the clinic for a day and went shopping. Fortunately, there were not many patients during the Chinese New Year, otherwise he would be busy.

When the two children officially settled down at Lin Yi's house, it was already the tenth day of the first lunar month. By this time, the New Year was almost over, and they didn't have to go to pay New Year's greetings. Lin Laosan resisted the hoe to dig a hole. By this time, he could Planted yams.

Lin Yi also ran around the village to exchange potato seeds with others. Zheng Yu couldn't get away from him. He could only watch the children and cook at home every day. Everyone was very busy. Fortunately, the two children were still obedient. Nothing happened.

Lin Yi can't go to the scholar examination, so he doesn't need any books, so he can help Lin Laosan to do farm work with peace of mind. Help, but most of the uncles are busy with him and Lin Laosan.

I had to plant three acres of yams, and I didn't finish planting until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which happened to be back for the Lantern Festival.

Besides being the Lantern Festival, it was also the birthday of the Lantern Festival. The child must not be too old, so Lin Yi asked Zheng Yu to steam a pot of rice cakes for the child to eat.

Of course, no loss to the other two, everyone got it.

Lin Yi also gave Yuan Xiao a small purse, and put copper coins in it, four at the age of four, and five at the age of five next year. At the same time, he also made up for the previous money so that he could save it for himself.

Yuan Xiao was very happy, holding the money bag and smiling foolishly all the time, even reluctant to give it away when she went to bed at night.

Because of Sun Xiu's death, there was no laughter at home until this day, which made Lin Yi heave a sigh of relief.

A bad year has finally passed, and tomorrow will be a new beginning. This is the real New Year.
