Farmhouse Chronicle [Farming]

Chapter 15

After the sun reached the side of the mountain, Yang Tianlin was going home too. After saying goodbye to the steamed buns he gave him, Yang Tianlin went home excitedly. After returning home, he went directly to Grandpa's room.

"Grandpa, I'm back."

"Linzi, why are you injured again? Be careful when you go up the mountain. Now the hillside is slippery, and you will fall if you are not careful." In fact, Grandpa Yang is not very old. He looks over 50, but after his leg was injured, his health is getting worse and worse. He used to be able to walk a few steps with a stick, but now he can only sleep on the bed.

He stretched out his hand to quickly support him, and then let him sit down slowly. Yang Tianlin excitedly talked to Grandpa about what happened today, and at the same time carefully poured out the millet in his pocket and put it in the rice bag. God's millet, the rice bag already has less than half a bag of millet, and it looks like it weighs about ten catties. This month, I can cook two meals of white rice for Grandpa, and the rest will make porridge for Grandpa.

"Grandpa, come on, hold this, this little brother gave it to me, I've never seen this before, but it's delicious, eat it quickly." When he stretched out his hand, Yang Tianlin saw the back of his hand There were some small wounds on the chest. Thinking about what happened just now, I knew that it was probably cut out by the grain piles in the field. I didn’t feel it when I didn’t see it. Now I saw it, it hurts, but it’s okay, little The fat man gave the medicine, and he can apply it by himself in a while.

"Linzi, if you have something good, take it to your brother, so that your mother won't target you, and there are more." Although Grandpa Yang took the food from Yang Tianlin, he didn't eat it. Let Yang Tianlin take that thing to please his stepmother.Speaking of Wang Ying, Yang Tianlin used to call him aunt all the time, and respected her as aunt in his heart, but Yang Tianlin has never called her again in the past six months.

"Grandpa, it's useless, you can eat." Didn't he treat his stepmother well?But Hu Zi was right, the stepmother was not only a stepmother, but also turned his father into a stepfather. He no longer needed his father and mother, and only hoped that his grandfather could live a better life.

In the past few years, most people in the village have understood that the eldest grandson of the Yang family, who was so painful that he could barely hold it in his hand, was disliked by the whole family after his mother ran away, especially when his stepmother gave birth again. After having a younger brother, his life is even more difficult.

Regarding what Grandpa Yang said, Yang Tianlin's immature face didn't even show any expression. He was already ten years old, he already knew a lot of things, and he also had his own ability to distinguish. It's useless, since this is the case, why bother to please them, it's better to take good care of the only person who treats you well.

"Grandpa, you used to save things for me to eat, of course I should take care of you now." Deliberately ignoring Grandpa's words, Yang Tianlin only said that he was taken care of, anyway, that's all he cares about.

"Oh, you are such a stubborn child!"

Yang Tianlin is naturally stubborn, otherwise he would never do things to please his father after giving up his heart to his father. He used to be obedient to his father and stepmother, except that he liked himself from the bottom of his heart. Father.

"You're back? Do you know you're back? Sister Zhang told me today that you are picking up millet in her field. Where is the millet? Where is it?" Wang Ying is from Yangjia Village. After giving birth to a son, he usually treats Yang Tianlin without saving face, and directly beats and scolds at every turn. In Yang Tianlin's view, it is easy to run on like today.

"..."

"Why don't you talk anymore? Are you deaf and dumb? You have time to pick up grain for that useless old man, why don't you do some work for the family? Also, aren't my clothes and Bao'er's clothes still left behind? There, you don’t know how to wash?!”

"I have done my work, I have cut the firewood for the morning, and I have brought back pigweed, and I will harvest the millet after dinner." Now the sun has set, but there is still a distance before dark, Moreover, it is not easy to rain these days, so it must be too late to harvest the millet after dinner.Yang Tianlin didn't want to talk to anyone, so he went straight into the kitchen. Although he wasn't hungry today, he wouldn't be able to eat those things tomorrow. If he could eat more today, he would eat more.

When he walked to the kitchen, Yang Tianlin thought that the people outside would still be cursing, but he didn't hear anything until he entered the kitchen. He was wondering, but when he lifted the lid of the pot, he finally knew why.

There was only a bowl of soup in the pot, and there were only two wild vegetable leaves in the soup, and nothing else.

Although Yang Tianlin was not hungry today, when he thought of the morning noodle soup and the bowl of clear soup in front of him, the face of his stepmother Wang Ying appeared in front of him.

"Bad woman!" Was he trying to starve himself to death?

"Where is that unfilial son? Where did he go?...Eat? He still has the face to eat! Damn boy, come out for me!"

Hearing the stepmother's voice outside, Yang Tianlin shook his hands in fright, and his first reaction was to run away. He is no longer like when he was a child. When he was beaten, he only knew how to beg for mercy. Now he knows that begging for mercy is useless. If you are beaten, you have to run, and if you run, you can't get hit!

When Wang Ying rushed to the kitchen, Yang Tianlin was nowhere to be seen. She had just gone to the disabled father-in-law's room, intending to take away all the millet picked up by that stinky boy, but when she went in, she saw the dead The old man is eating snacks!She has only seen those snacks but never eaten them. Every time she goes to the town, she can only buy some cheap snacks for the toothbrush festival!But the dim sum in that old man's hand is the signature dim sum of the most famous pastry shop in the town!The price was very expensive, and that dead boy didn't know where he got it, but when he got it, he didn't know how to give it to his younger brother, but gave it to that useless old man!

Wang Ying was angry and hated, wishing to give Yang Tianlin a good beating. After entering the kitchen and finding no one there, she simply took the bowl of noodle soup left in the pot to the pigsty and gave it to the pigs to eat. "Eat! I'll let you eat it, you little bastard! Don't expect my mother to leave you some food in the future!"

Yang Tianlin, who ran out of the house, went directly to the field behind his back with his back basket on his back. These days are the last few days to pick up fungi. If only he could pick up a fungus, it would be great. If he finds it, he will sell it in the town tomorrow. , If you sell it, you will have money to buy things for grandpa.

Yang Tianlin was severely beaten by his father during the Chinese New Year, and after almost deafening his ears, he remembered what Uncle Yang Sheng said. After that, every time he went to the town to sell the things he found on the mountain, he would Secretly left one or two copper plates, and now there are dozens of copper plates in the broken clay pot in his room.If he could see the fungus, he would be able to save a lot at a time, and with money, he could buy clothes for himself and Grandpa.

Yang Tianlin's luck is still not good enough, he went out to search for a long time and couldn't find any fungus, but he was not too disappointed, it was hard to find fungus now, there are still many dew fungus in the mountains, but the bigger ones are gone .

No fungus was found, but Yang Tianlin found an August melon, and it was a big one. Looking at a large piece of melon vines and the melon that had been fried, Yang Tianlin's mouth never closed.Most of the melons on the large melon vines were already ripe, Yang Tianlin picked them and dressed them up in a basket, he was going to go to town tomorrow.

People in the town have to buy everything, and this kind of wild melon is even rarer. August melon tastes good and is rare. His half-basket melon can be sold for as much money as fungus. Last time he took a few The first time he went to the market, a young master gave him a piece of silver.

Yang Tianlin knew that it was because the young master didn't care about giving too much money, and the young master didn't want him to give change, so he did earn it. Although he didn't know if he would meet such a wealthy young master this time, but this time there were so many melons, it was worth selling them. There must be no shortage of money.
