"Jiang Daizhen?" Zhang Xiaoke paused, his finger was pricked by a sharp needle, and red blood beads came out.As if he couldn't feel the pain, he looked straight at Lin He: "Did you hear me right?"

"No, Ah Mo said it himself. You didn't see how proud his face was." Lin Hesang bit his finger hard.

Zhang Xiaoke lowered her head, stared blankly at the bloody fingertips, and said expressionlessly, "No wonder he doesn't like my brother..."

"Your brother has a good friend." Lin He poured a basin of cold water.

"Yes, yes, but my family doesn't like it. I liked the third child, but who knew that he was so high-minded." Zhang Xiaoke was a little bit weird, and he was worried about Lin Shen's failure to choose his younger brother.

In his opinion, to get married, one needs to find someone from the same family. It would be great for his younger brother to match Lin Shen, but Lin Shen wants to be a phoenix in the sky.

"The days to come will be long, just wait and see." Zhang Xiaoke smiled slightly, looking a little cold.

There was a lot of commotion outside, and Lin Shen concentrated on his greenhouse.Paying always pays off, and the seeds break through the ground, revealing tender green shoots.If someone comes to the backyard, they can probably see the green inside the shed through the gap. The vigorous vitality is in stark contrast to the bleak winter outside.

The old carpenter would come and go around when he had nothing to do, and he was in a good mood when he saw the green eyes.

"It won't be long before we can eat it," he said.

"Yes." Lin Shen said.

It was snowing outside all the time, and the road out of the mountain was flooded with snow, and even a bird could not fly in.At the beginning, Jiang Daizhen would ask people to deliver things, sometimes for clothes, sometimes for food.As the snow grew heavier, the two lost contact.

Sometimes, Lin Shen would also run up the mountain.The snow on the mountain is as deep as an adult's knee. If a child falls into it, he will be buried directly in it, and he can't even see the top of his head.Therefore, Lin Shen held a stick in his hand, buried his legs deeply in the snow, and walked steadily step by step.

A gust of cold wind blew by, the dry branches shook a few times, and the snow that was pressed on the branches fell down.At this time, Lin Shen was walking under the tree, when a handful of snow fell from the branch and fell into his clothes, making him shiver with cold.

It took a long time before Lin Shen walked into the woods.Those who ran into the woods in this season all had the idea that if they could catch a rabbit or a pheasant, they would improve their family's life.

Many people had the same idea as Lin Shen, and Lin Shen met a hunter in the village.

The hunter told him to be careful: "Clamps are placed wherever there are traces, so be careful not to step on them."

"Understood." Lin Shen said.

"By the way, I've heard about you. Congratulations in advance." The hunter patted him on the shoulder and walked away.

Lin Shen also put traps in the woods. He went to the place where the traps were placed and looked, and found a wild pheasant.Probably because it has not been moved for a long time, the wild pheasant has been frozen hard.

He put the pheasant down, and changed the place to put the clip.After that, Ti Liu walked home with the pheasant in a good mood.

The courtyard door was open, someone must have come.Whoever came, he wasn't interested, the old carpenter would take care of it.

Lin Shen walked into the kitchen along the stone path, threw the frozen pheasant on the ground, and prepared to boil water for the pheasant.If nothing else, they ate chicken at night.

Hearing the sound of the door, the old carpenter glanced outside and said, "Shen'er should be back, I'll go out and have a look."

The people inside stood up eagerly and came out after the old carpenter.

Lin Shen stood up blankly: "Jiang—"

The person who came was Jiang Yan, the son of the dean of the academy.I had a fever once when I was a child, and I can't speak since then.

Jiang Yan gestured anxiously, but the old carpenter said, "Let me do the talking."

The academy had a holiday early, and the life in the mountains was quiet, but there were too many inconveniences.The dean and his family moved down the mountain and lived in the old house.They lived not far from here, in the village next door, and lived a simple and poor life.

After winter, the dean couldn't get sick, and all the family money was spent to see the doctor for treatment.Even so, the dean's illness has not been cured.Jiang Yan had no choice but to come here this time. All the friends and relatives around him had been borrowed by his family, so he came to Lin Shen because he had no choice.

Lin Shen gave him 30 taels of silver and asked him, "Is the money enough?"

Jiang Yan nodded, gestured excitedly and said, "When the family has money, we will return it to you."

"There is no need to rush to pay back the money," Lin Shen said.

When the original owner was in the academy, he did a lot of assholes.If the dean didn't help him, he would have been kicked out a long time ago.When he can't eat, the dean will take him to eat at home.Lin Shen replaced the original owner and had dinner at the dean's house.

Jiang Yan is leaving soon.

The old carpenter said: "Your clothes are still wet, and you have to walk in the snow when you go back. You don't want your legs anymore?"

"I'll cook right now, and I'll take you home after dinner." Lin Shen also said the same.

The pheasant was not in a hurry, Lin Shen made noodle soup and fried a large plate of vinegared cabbage.Even eating soup with water in the stomach warms the heart and stomach.

Jiang Yan's clothes were also changed, and replaced with Lin Shen's new clothes. Lin Shen never wore them, and put the changed ones on the kang to warm them up, so they might be dry soon.

Before setting off, they tied their legs tightly with ropes and covered them with a leather sheath to prevent the cloth from being wetted by snow.Lin Shen took the sledge with half a bag of rice on it, and they set off.

The snow on the road is thicker because no one has stepped on it.The road that Jiang Yan walked has turned into a snowfield, and there are no traces of people walking by, not a single bird nearby, let alone anyone passing by.I can't imagine how the thin Jiang Yan got here.

Half of the courtyard wall was crushed by the snow, and the house was as cold as a cellar, not much better than the outside.The dean was lying on the bed, covered with a heavy quilt.The dean's wife was in the open snow, rubbing her hands and boiling a casserole of Chinese herbs.

Jiang Yan couldn't speak, so he walked up to him, and he realized that there were two more people in the yard.Lin Shen put the sledge outside and came in with half a bag of rice in one hand.

The dean's wife looked at them with surprise and joy, and shed tears of relief.

The dean lost a lot of weight, and his hair was all white.He raised his head tremblingly, and said in disbelief, "Yes, is it Lin Shen?"

"It's Lin Shen. He's here to see you." The dean's wife helped him sit up, and slipped a pillow behind him.

The dean took Lin Shen's hand, regained his energy, and asked him how he was doing in a soft voice.

Jiang Yan took out the money, and the dean's wife was startled: "Where did you get so much money by mistake?"

Jiang Yan pointed to Lin Shen inside.

The dean's wife muttered: "This is too much, did he take out all the family's money?"

Jiang Yan shook his head.

The dean's wife called Lin Shen out and asked him to take back half of the money.

Lin Shen said: "I still have money, and these are for you. You take the flowers first, and if you don't have enough, then go to me, and I will find a way."

The dean's wife only received money now. The family is indeed in a difficult situation, and the rice vat has bottomed out.Now when I go out to buy rice, the price is much higher than in autumn, and I may not be able to buy it.Lin Shen brought all the rice from his own house and helped them solve the big problem.

"It's too cold in the house. If you're not sick, you'll get frostbite. Is there no firewood at home?" Lin Shen asked politely.

The dean's wife said embarrassingly: "I prepared the money to buy firewood, but I also paid for the medicine."

"If you have money, you can buy more firewood," Lin Shen said.

It's getting dark, Lin Shen should go.

The dean's wife and Jiang Yan came out to see him off, both of them had smiles on their faces.Seeing this scene, Lin Shen also felt satisfied, and he returned home in the dark.

The room was scorched by the old carpenter, and it didn't take long to lie on the kang to warm up.Lin Shen told the old carpenter about the situation at the teacher's house, and the old carpenter sighed: "It's not easy, you should visit them more when you have time."

If he hadn't met Lin Shen, it would be impossible for the old carpenter to live his current life.How good he is now, the food is prepared, the clothes are brand new, and he can sleep on the hot kang every night. . .

In less than a month, the green vegetables in the greenhouse can be eaten.It is very rare to be able to eat vegetables with green leaves in this season. Only rich and noble families will have this kind of treatment. Generally, the poor eat cabbage that is easy to store to survive the difficult winter.

A few days later, the cucumbers also bear fruit.Lin Shen planted a lot, and produced a lot of cucumbers, which are good to eat as fruit.

Hearing that the servants of Lu Xuan's family were going out to do some shopping, Lin Shen came to find Lu Xuan for the first time.After explaining the purpose of coming, Lu Xuan said straightforwardly: "Yes, I just don't know what you want to bring, can I have a look?"

Lin Shen opened the small basket that had been wrapped several layers, with a careful look as if it contained a baby.

After reading it, Lu Xuan was silent, and said with a smile: "You have a heart."

Lin Shen wanted to give money, but Lu Xuan refused.

Lu Xuan: "You can beg me today because you think highly of you. Maybe one day, I will beg you. Don't worry, I will definitely let the servants deliver the things. Seriously, who followed me?" You are so lucky."

Lin Shen smiled: "I am also very blessed."

Xiaotao entered the door carrying a bag of things, and at the same time attracted the attention of Jiang Ruonian and Jiang Daizhen.

Jiang Ruonian asked, "What did you take?"

"I don't know. The concierge told me to go there. An uncle said that he was from the village and was entrusted by someone to give this thing to Brother Jiang. I don't know him, but he knows me. When I went to the village with Brother Jiang , he may have seen me." Xiaotao said.

Jiang Daizhen's expression moved slightly, and he had already passed by.

Jiang Ruonian said with interest: "Lin San should have brought it here, why didn't he come by himself, don't you think it's true?"

Jiang Daizhen glanced at him, and squatted down to watch Xiaotao take away the outer layer of straw. What was exposed outside was a basket, which was wrapped with something like a bedding.

"It's so thick, it can't be gold inside?" Jiang Ruonian joked.

Seeing that Xiaotao was struggling to disassemble, Jiang Daizhen couldn't help but do it.Taking off the outer layer of bedding, lying inside is half a basket of juicy cucumbers.

Jiang Ruonian raised his eyebrows, and said with a look of surprise: "We can't buy them even if we have money. Where did Lin San get these treasures? If he sells them, a cucumber is worth at least two taels of silver."

Jiang Dai really gave him a blank look: "You know money, so can't he grow it himself?"

"All right, I don't care if it was born by him or planted by him, give me one first, I like it the most." Jiang Ruonian sat down on the chair and said arrogantly: "Xiao Tao, hurry up and wash it. It's clean, I'm hungry."
