wear to 60s

As the new year approached, Lin Shu and Hei Wa ran back to the mountains frequently in order to store more food.

The vicinity of this house has also been completely remodeled by Lin Shulai in the past few months.

He walked around the back mountain for a long time, and saw that some saplings that could be transplanted were dug back, or grafted on the original fruit trees.

The wild rose flowers were also set up by Lin Shu as a flower stand, and now they are trimmed and trimmed, and the buds are still blooming.

The grass by the river is turning yellow, and the cypress trees in the mountains are also dropping their branches to the ground. Standing on the high hillside, looking at Yunfeng Village, the sky is high and the clouds are light.

Beasts are going to spend the winter too, and there is no prey to be found in the mountains these days. Today, Lin Shu also met a female camphor. it goes away.

When I got home, I heard Caifeng sobbing and crying, but it was their wild boar. Mrs. Lin, together with the second and third family, dragged away early this morning while Lin Shu was going to the mountains.

Lin Shu's beating of a wild boar was seen from the hut after Shuisheng's accident, but everyone present had seen how powerful the gray wolf was, and they didn't dare to steal it even if they looked greedy. .

Besides, they are all from the same village. The people in the village are most afraid of being chewed and stabbed in the back. This person can't look up and look down. Let alone stealing things, even if they occupy other people's land, they are embarrassed. The same well draws water It's not easy to play too much for people to see.

The wild boar was not stolen by outsiders, but was arrested by Lao Lin's own family.

In fact, no one from the old Lin family came to watch that night. Ever since Lin Shu's second mother was bitten by a wolf, the old Lin family didn't even want to see Lin Shu's family, fearing that Lin Shu's next to them would be cheap.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, it was the [-]th birthday of Lao Lin's family. He invited a few households in the village who had acquaintances, called the old family, the second family, the third family, not the fourth family, and simply celebrated.

That night was lively, but Lin Shu really didn't remember Father Lin's birthday, and didn't know about it at all.

Mrs. Lin specially asked several daughter-in-laws to bring out the pork and stew it in a pot. The big guys ate happily.

Especially for the children of the second family, Mrs. Lin felt very distressed. When others didn’t scoop out the first bowl, Mrs. Lin scooped up the second bowl for them, and it was still full of meat. A piece of meat in someone else’s bowl was considered too much. up.

This made the other daughter-in-laws see it clearly.

This old lady Lin is so generous to her grandsons, that is, the second son's family, she is even willing to ask them to eat meat.

Mrs. Lin looked at her grandson with a smile, Shengtian, wealth, victory, even patriotism did not hurt so much.

To be honest, she really couldn't bear to give the meat to Goudan. That child is vicious, just like his father.

She is also satisfied with the sons born by the second child, and she will definitely treat her well in the future and provide her with retirement care until her death.

Just as the big guys were eating meat, someone mentioned that they saw a wild boar at Lin Shu's house, and said that they were envious of the old Lin's family. They would definitely not worry about running out of pork for the Chinese New Year this year.

This time, there was a big wave of shock in the eyes of the old Lin's family, especially the old lady Lin, who was so shocked that she thought that she had heard that this bastard ran back to the mountain like a wild monkey every day, so she didn't have this grandson. Maybe one day he would be dragged away and eaten by wild leopards in the mountains, but he didn't expect that this bastard would beat a wild boar without telling them, it was deliberately concealing it.

I don't know who raised him?

No conscience at all!

I lost my appetite for this meat all of a sudden. Can these few pieces of meat have the meaty flavor of that big wild boar?

Several members of Lao Lin's family have different ideas.

As the saying goes, more people are good for farming, and fewer people are better for Chinese New Year. Mrs. Lin doesn't call the fourth family. The rest of the family can't say that they eat too much meat, so go call them here?

The children of Patriotic Satellite were dissatisfied with Mrs. Lin's behavior. Now that they heard that Goudaner had beaten a wild boar, they felt relieved, as long as there is meat to eat, they will never be hungry.

But others don't think so.

The first is Tang Cuihua.She thought that this bastard is so powerful, she beat a wild boar, but she didn't know where he got the money last time, so she even paid back her family's money. Although she later found out that it was 20 yuan, the children all She paid it back, and she didn't feel angry anymore, but if the kid killed a pig, he would give their family a few knives, and she didn't even think about who lent him the money.

Then there are a few people from the second child's family.This bastard must be lucky, he can even catch a wild boar, Lin Shengtian is so big, he has never heard of anyone in the village who caught a wild boar, even a rabbit is not bad.Why not starve him to death and give him a wild boar!

After the outsiders left, Mrs. Lin secretly discussed with a few people.The result of this discussion was that after Lin Shu left, he took the gray wolf away, and took the opportunity to lead the wild boar out.

"Mother, does this make it so? Don't let Goudaner come back to talk about it?" Lin Er Er said.

Mrs. Lin glared at Lin's second child, and said confidently, "Why not? I'm his nurse. He beat the wild boar and didn't know how to honor me when he came back. He asked me to hold it in person. That's outrageous!"

As he said that, he asked the second, third, and second sons to take the wild boar home. Before the old king who killed the pig came back, he simply killed it at home.

Mrs. Lin has never killed a pig herself in her life. She ate less and wore less since she was a child. During the years of the Anti-Japanese War, several brothers in the family went out to serve in the army, and there was no news of her. Leaving Papa Lin at home, after a few years of reform and opening up, and three years of severe famines, life is easier now, at least in her eyes, being able to eat dross is better than digging grass roots in the mountains to eat , now at least not only food, but also pork.

Seeing the wild boar, Lao Lin's family was full of energy.

The place where the pigs are slaughtered is the second one's house.There are too many people in Mrs. Lin's big yard. Others will be able to see the killing of pigs.

The two men, the second and the third, and Father Lin held down the hooves of the pig, and tied them up with hemp ropes to prevent the pig from jumping. You know, pigs are very good at jumping. big.

Mrs. Lin and the women set up a big iron pot, built a temporary stove with stones in the yard, and started to burn the pig water.

Although they knew that there were only a few procedures for killing a pig, and that it was enough to kill the pig, they underestimated the strong vitality of this pig.

Mrs. Lin saw the pig-killing water boiling up, and ordered: "Throw the pig into the pot quickly."

"That's not right, mother, I saw Lao Wang slaughtering a pig, so I killed the pig first." Lin Lao Er retorted.

Mrs. Lin said with a grimace: "I've lived my whole life and still don't know how to kill a pig? Do as I say."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, they could only put the tied wild boar into the pot first.

This big iron pot is really big, it was the iron pot used in the cafeteria to cook big pot meals in the past. Since everyone came back to share the food and cook by themselves, the cafeteria has not opened yet. Seeing that the iron pots in the cafeteria are cheap, Mr. Lin decided to Bought it back.

Now when the pig was lifted up, the wild boar was starting to struggle. It was said that it was going to be put into the boiling water, but before it even got into the pot, the pig’s hooves were jumping like hell, the pig screamed hoarsely, and there was a big commotion. It caused people in the village to watch.

The wild boar barks loudly, the more it barks, the more Lao Lin's family is more concerned about eating meat.

"Mother, this pig is so big, it's bigger than the pigs in the village's pig farm." The third daughter-in-law Liu Chunfang was very excited. You must know that even though her mother's family is a bun shop, she is not willing to buy such a big pig and kill herself to eat. Ah, at most it is made into meat buns to make money.

"Yeah, this pig is too big, grandma, we have more than enough pork for Chinese New Year." Lin Shengli hugged Mrs. Lin excitedly.

Mrs. Lin didn't burn the pot, but stood and directed a few people to carry the pig into the pot. Unexpectedly, Lin Shengli ran over and touched the pig's hoof excitedly.

"Pfft."

Zhu Qiangqiang rolled his eyes, jumped his hooves, and kicked the big iron pot over, and the boiling water poured down. The adults hid quickly, but the children were not spared. They only heard Lin Shengli's shocking sound Screams, followed by howling cries.

"Ah, mother, it hurts."

The second daughter-in-law was still lying in the house, and when she heard the crying, she began to scold Lin's second wife.

"You idiot, your son is burned, why don't you bring it here and show me."

Several people put down the pig, Lin's second son went to see Lin Shengli, but saw Mrs. Lin grabbing Lin Shengli's clothes, and began to brute force him.

"Ah ah ah."

"Grandma, I hurt."

"Woooooo."

This boiling water can even scald the skin of a pig, not to mention a child with thin skin and tender flesh, whose clothes are stuck to his body and cannot be torn off. The old man in the countryside does not know how to find scissors to cut his clothes, so he feels sorry for the few feet he tore off. Lin Shengli's legs were peeled off a layer of fleshy skin, and only the safflower flesh of those legs was seen. The child was crying so hard that he almost lost his breath.

Now the second son's family is not in the mood to kill pigs, but the third daughter-in-law is not happy, who made Lin Shengli so stupid that he played beside the hot pot of boiling water.

"Mom, what should I do?" the second child asked anxiously.

"Look for a doctor." Mrs. Lin also panicked.

Lin Laoer said with a bitter face: "How much does it cost to see a doctor? Cuiwen's legs are all spent, and I really can't afford it."

"Second brother, hurry up and take the child to the doctor in the village to have a look. It's too hot. I'm afraid it will ruin the child's leg. If you don't have money, get it from us." As soon as the third child Lin Guoqiang finished speaking, Liu Chunfang said Glaring at him, he lowered his voice and said, "Where did you get the money? Don't look for trouble."

"Chunfang, this victory is not an injury."

"Okay, let's make a fuss, it's just a burn, go to the well and fetch a few buckets of cold water, let Shengli soak in it and it's over." Father Lin, who had never spoken, said.

"Is this method okay?" Lin Er said.

"Listen to your father, you don't need money for medical treatment." Mrs. Lin glared at him.

Several adults rushed to fetch water from the well, but in the cold winter months, the temperature of the water in the well was so low that a six-year-old child was soaked in it for several hours.

Not only did he develop a severe high fever, but it also caused the affected area to become completely infected and pus. Of course, this is all for later.

The old Lin's family continued to slaughter the pigs, and when they were done, Mrs. Lin divided the meat happily. Because Shengli and Tang Cuiwen had an accident in the second family's family, they shared dozens of catties of meat with them.

The wild boar weighed more than 200 kilograms, and after being killed and bled, it was quite a scale.

Mrs. Lin weighed fifty catties.

The second child's family weighed [-] catties, the third child's family weighed [-] catties, and the remaining two pots of pig blood were reserved for the second family's family, and all pig intestines and stomach organs were distributed to the third family's family. A cauldron, where people in several rooms eat meat around the bonfire.

When Lin Shu came with Hei Wa and Caifeng, he could smell the smell of meat from afar, and seeing the mess of slaughtered pigs in that place, Lin Shu suddenly became angry.

This family is still shameless, it's his business whether to give it or not, and they even went to grab it.

"Eggy, eat meat." Hei Wa grabbed Lin Shu's finger and pointed at the crowd sitting around the bonfire in front of them, keeping their halazi.

Lin Shu didn't think it was dirty enough to wipe his mouth, wiped it dry with a handkerchief, and then pinched his fleshy cheek and said, "Okay, I'll eat it for you when I go back tonight."

The three of them walked over, and it was the second uncle who found them first.

The second uncle shouted, "God's egg." He got up again and brought a bowl of meat from the stove outside, and handed it to Lin Shu.

"You're back, and your grandma has reserved a bowl of meat for you, eat it quickly."

Lin Shu looked at the bowl of meat, didn't move, and looked at the people sitting around the campfire. There were only the second uncle's family, the third uncle's family, and the old man and old lady. Even the second mother was sitting on a chair, eating a bowl of meat.

Lin Shu glanced at Erniang, and Erniang's hateful eyes did not escape his eyes.

If Erniang hadn't deliberately kicked Xiaoyao'er away that day, causing the one-year-old Xiaoyao'er to fall, he didn't intend to let the gray wolf bite off her foot.

In his eyes, although they are not close, at least they are relatives, and it is good to keep the blood relationship, as long as they don't tear their faces, but this family doesn't seem to regard them as family members.

"Master, I heard that you have your [-]th birthday. This pig is a belated birthday gift from your grandson. You can eat it slowly."

After the words fell, he looked at the others.

"This is the last time. I warn you, don't take anything from my house. Since the family is separated, it is theft and you will be sentenced."

Mrs. Lin became angry all of a sudden, with a piece of meat wrapped in her mouth, she pointed at Lin Shu's nose and said, "Sentence? I don't believe it. Is it considered stealing if I take my grandson's things? You little heartless , who raised you so big, what happened to eating your pig?"

Lin Shu laughed angrily.

"Grandma, when the family separated, you said, don't come to your house for food if you have nothing to do. You have little food, so since the separation, although I am young, I still understand some things, so Caifeng and I Little Yao’er was so hungry that he never set foot in this house, but fortunately, the commune sympathized with us and gave us food, so we didn’t starve to death.”

"It's all right if you don't love my father. He and his mother are dead, and there is no funeral. If you don't say to bring back the corpse, I don't blame you. I only blame him for having the wrong birth and entered the door of your Lin family. If so, why did you give birth to him in the first place?"

Mrs. Lin sneered and said: "I gave birth to him? Do you think I want to give birth to him? There is no food in the family, and giving birth to him is just a mouthful. When I grow up, I don't stop. I don't know how to earn work points and food for me. If you know how to run out, it’s all right now, if you die outside, I will treat it as if I didn’t have this son.”

Lin Shu's pressing question came out of nowhere, but it made him feel a little funny, especially when he said this in front of Mrs. Lin.Now, after listening to Mrs. Lin's words, it turns out that what he said just now is really superfluous.He shouldn't have any hope.

Lin Shu took Caifeng and Heiwa away, and also walked out of this house.

He looked at the night sky, the surroundings of this small mountain village were pitch black, without even a ray of light, only the kerosene lantern in his hand was emitting a slight light.

Lin Shu let out a long breath suddenly.

"Caifeng, do you hate your parents?"

Caifeng didn't nod, didn't shake her head, and couldn't tell if there was anything else in her eye sockets in the dark night, she just said two words with a choked voice.

"Don't hate."

Lin Shu said again: "Father and mother didn't stay with you, but went out to work. Did you miss them in those years?"

"think."

Caifeng nodded violently, her voice gradually choked up, and Lin Shu could only vaguely feel the trembling of Caifeng's shoulders, which she was trying to hold back.

He has never met Lin Guozhu and his wife, even if he wears this body, he can't treat them as his parents and empathize with their death.

But at least one thing, he can understand.

They definitely didn't want to stay in this small village all the time, but they didn't expect that this good day would not come as they imagined. When they were in their twenties, they lost the chance to resist fate.

Whether he stays at home like the old Lin family, the eldest, the second, and the third child, and takes care of the elderly, or goes out to find his own world, keeps being separated from his relatives, gradually alienated, and even bears the hatred of his relatives, he has never experienced these things Choice, but he believed that the original owner wanted his family to live a good life, but he had no chance now.

He traveled here like a ghost, he couldn't guarantee anything, but at least if he had a bite to eat, the original owner's family would not be hungry.

Lin Shu led Heiwa and Caifeng back to their home. The youngest child on the bed fell into a drowsy sleep. Seeing them come back, he got up again, hugged Lin Shu's leg, and giggled.

In the two rooms, Lin Shu hung up the lanterns he made himself. It was the New Year's Eve, and he started preparations early. The lanterns were lit every night, looking warm and joyful.

Not to mention these, he also specially invited the master in the village to make a fireplace. Now it is not only a kang for sleeping, but as long as he enters the house and burns firewood, it can be warm.

On the night of the Laba Festival, the house is brightly lit.

Lin Shu, the gray wolf's legs, was afraid that the herbs in the mountains would not work, so he went to the village doctor to find a plaster to apply, but he didn't know if the medicine would have any effect on the gray wolf.

Gray Wolf and Hei Wa sat around the fireplace, the kerosene lamp emitted a warm light, the room was scorching hot, but the cold wind outside the door became more and more biting.

Lin Shu opened the door, looking at the dark sky, the warmth behind him gradually made him smile.

Caifeng and Heiwa, two little greedy cats, each hugged Lin Shu's hand and acted like a baby.

"Brother, what shall we have for dinner tonight?"

Lin Shu hugged the two little ones, and the little Yaoer who ran over to hug his legs. Seeing the smiles on the red faces of the three cute little ones, he felt a sense of happiness spontaneously.

"Today is Laba Festival, we eat Laba porridge."

Caifeng clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Oh, great, let's eat Laba porridge."

Xiaoyaoer giggled, thinking of delicious food, she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, revealing her little red mouth with few deciduous teeth.

The gray wolf flicked its tail around Lin Shu, and Hei Wa was lying in front of the stove, watching Lin Shu wash the rice without blinking, and prepare the raw materials. Anyway, he took them out of his pocket and prepared them to be eaten raw, such as peanuts, almonds, Melon seeds and brown sugar can all go into the mouth of this greedy little mouse.

After Laba is over, it is to do New Year's goods.

Even for those who have no money, they should celebrate the New Year.

In the past few days, the consignment point of the supply and marketing cooperative in the village is the busiest place. The children of the production team like to go there to play and look at the candies, rice cakes, sesame crisps, etc. on the counter. Adults are reluctant to buy these on weekdays. I will always buy some to eat for my own children, or to give gifts to the New Year.

But just a few years after the catastrophe, it seems that good days are coming, and this year has been particularly harmonious and prosperous.

Lin Shu took Caifeng and Heiwa Xiaoyaoer to the supply and marketing cooperative together, planning to buy some new year's goods.

He sold the gold bracelet and returned 20 yuan to his uncle's family. In fact, the food he ate these days was subsidized by the commune, and the meat was hunted in the mountains. He hardly spent much money, and he had 180 yuan left.

He is reluctant to use this money, but he has to take out two yuan to buy some New Year's goods during the Chinese New Year.

In the past few days, you can still see pickers from afar in the village, carrying a load of children's favorite things, such as colored paper windmills, rattles, kites, and candied haws wrapped in syrup.

Lin Shu bought candied haws for the three of them to eat, and those were a bit expensive to play with.Seeing that he was a child, the uncle who sold goods thought he didn't understand the market, so he kept introducing to the three little ones how fun his stuff was.Lin Shu smiled lightly and said nothing, but the three had heard Lin Shu talk about these novel gadgets a long time ago.So they didn't want much, Lin Shu would make it for them to play.

In the end, the shopkeeper carried the burden resentfully, and walked away yelling.

After buying the new year's goods, Lin Shu began to prepare to kill some pheasants and hares and marinate them, so that they could be eaten in the next year.

Originally, he planned to kill the wild boar, smoke the meat and store it, and it could be eaten for a year or two, but the wild boar was brought to kill by Mrs. Lin.

Fortunately, Lin Shu and Hei Wa brought back a wild goat from the back mountain, smoked the mutton with firewood, spread sauce on it, and hung it up to dry in the air.

This day is comfortable, and it will be New Year's Eve in a few days.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Lin Shu bought some paper cannons, and brought Caifeng and Xiao Yao'er to the original owner's parents' grave.

Even the Clothes Tomb expresses the grief of the family.

The three lit incense and knelt down to worship. Lin Shu looked at the couple's graves, burned paper, and set off cannons.

"Father and mother, I will take good care of Caifeng and Xiaoyaoer, don't worry." After saying that, Lin Shu bowed, closed his eyes and muttered silently in the bottom of his heart, "May your spirits in heaven rest in peace. Be sure to bless our family, Peace and live."

After Lin Shu kowtowed, he led Caifeng and Xiao Yaoer down the hillside.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Lin Shu boiled two pots of water and poured them into two wooden barrels.He, Hei Wa, Xiaoyao'er has a wooden barrel, and Caifeng has a wooden barrel. This wooden barrel is also made by his master. It is comfortable to take a hot bath in a room with a fireplace in winter. He cannot be wronged by a big director who is used to enjoying the life of modern people.

Lin Shu undressed Heiwa and Xiaoyao'er, and threw them into the hot water. They immediately let out the sound of killing pigs, splashing in the water, screaming happily.

Hei Wa showed the domineering and black-bellied attributes at a very young age, and now Lin Shu also took off his clothes and came in to take a bath, planning to pull Xiao Yaoer to wash him clean, fearing that he would catch a cold, so he saw Hei Wa gurgling towards Lin Shu. Shu threw himself on him, put Lin Shu's hand on his small shoulder, and then lay in Lin Shu's arms like an old man, uttering two words softly.

"Back rub."

Lin Shu couldn't laugh or cry, and waited for the young man to take a bath.

After soaking in a hot bath, I feel comfortable all over. Sitting on the warm kang, my pores are stretched.

Caifeng was a little girl, and Lin Shu had long ago forbidden her to share the bed with them. She slept on the other side of the Kang, and they slept on the other side.

At this moment, Hei Wa hugged Lin Shu on one side, and Xiao Yaoer hugged Lin Shu on the other side. The four of them sat on the bed, watched the warm and faint candlelight, and kept vigil.

The moon outside the window seemed extraordinarily round.

Lin Shu thought of his family members in the previous life, and his eyes were sour.

"Yi Lam, you boy changed your girlfriend again this year and brought him home. Let's start to hate. Your brother and I are still single at the age of 30."

"Mom and Dad, my son is not filial, so I can't take care of you two elders by your side. I just hope that God will bless you and live to be a hundred years old. Oh no, live to be two hundred years old."

"God, you are so powerful that you can bring me back to life. This wish will surely come true."
