[Comprehensive wear] Baiwei life

Lin Xi didn't know why, seeing the smile on the uncle's face, his back felt a little numb all the way from the entrance of the village to his home. It was really too pervasive, just like the mental patient he saw on TV in his previous life.

He didn't have a good impression of this aunt at first, she was a typical shrew, she cried and howled, sat on the ground and slapped her thighs when she was splashing, and even committed suicide once. They are all used to fool people, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is not because they really want to commit suicide.

In this family, the uncle's rank is still a bit lower. If the cousin hadn't suddenly changed his temper half a year ago, relying on the uncle's ability, he would not be able to separate the family for another ten or twenty years.

Now that he is laughing so horribly, I don't know if it is because he is so happy after getting his wish that he even has mental problems.

After all, if a person has been depressed for a long time and suddenly regains his freedom, it is very likely that extreme joy will turn into sorrow.

When he got off the carriage, Lin Xi was still thinking about these things. With the uncle around, the words of the old man will always have an effect on the big house.

I haven't seen each other for half a year, no matter whether it is the old man and Qian's, there is no change, but the two women in the second room are much more haggard than before, but this is not surprising. After winter, although there is not much farm work in the field, but there is one Children, it still takes a lot of work.

Especially Qian Shi and He Shi, one is in poor health, the other has been spoiled and raised since childhood, and has not done much work in the past few years after they got married. There is no one to share the work, and there is another baby to take care of. One can imagine how hard it is.

Lin Dali was keenly aware of the difference between the two houses. The first house was better than he imagined, while the father and son in the second house were in a mess than he imagined. They rushed home all the way, they looked a little bit embarrassed, but it was nothing. , the key is the spirit of the person, the lack of energy is the most worrying thing.

"Go back to the house and tidy up, and you have to go to worship the ancestors at night." Lin Dali instructed, without saying anything, the current situation of the two rooms made his heart tighten, as if something had escaped his control .

In fact, he already had this feeling when he had to separate the family, but he had high hopes for his little grandson at the time, and at the same time he was full of confidence, thinking that he would pass the provincial examination, so he didn't take it seriously at all.

How could the two rooms leave like this, each took out their own gifts, the first room brought pork, snacks and fish, and the second room father and son came all the way, and brought a piece of cloth instead of food, Just enough to make a suit of clothes for the old man.

As for the old lady, firstly, she didn't have that spare money, and secondly, she didn't have much need. A person who was almost invisible at home didn't even have the right to speak, and the old man didn't like her.

Therefore, when the economic conditions did not allow it, Lin Xi was not even willing to do it for the sake of saving face.

After receiving the gift, Lin Dali looked a little better. It doesn't matter whether the eldest son lives better or the second son is more promising, they are all his descendants, and both sons are obedient.

The big room is already empty, even the bedding has to be brought all the way from the county, and the tables, chairs and benches are not complete at all. It can be said that there are only a few beds in the room, and it is not possible at all. place to stay.

Because they made up their minds to only stay here for one night, Lin Ze and the others didn't even bring a change of clothes. Apart from the gift for the roommate, there were only a few bedding left in the luggage.

"It just so happens that Lin Xi is also back. Aren't you going to take the county examination in February? If there is anything you don't understand in the book, ask your cousin about it these two days. He was selected as a scholar at such a young age. He has solid knowledge and is no better than The teachers in that school are bad."

Even though his nephew failed the provincial examination twice, Lin Shi still admired him a lot. It is an indisputable fact that his nephew is smarter than his own son. This can be seen from the few years when the two children first went to school. The son's name But it has always been ranked above the son.

Lin Ze knew his own situation, so there was really no need to ask others for advice, let alone a small county test, even if it was a palace test, people who had been in the Imperial Academy for more than ten years were enough to handle it.

Even if the dynasties are different, the content and format of the imperial examinations have also changed, but the content and format of the imperial examinations have changed, but the sage books they read are almost the same, and the use of words is also familiar.

"My cousin was full of dust and dust along the way. I don't know how many days it will take to recover. I don't want to bother him in the past. Besides, we will leave tomorrow. We have to worship the ancestors tonight and go out to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow morning. We have to catch up with him." When I return to the county before dark, how can I find the time to ask the teacher." Lin Ze flatly refused.

Mrs. Li and her son have the same idea, that is, they don't want to deal with the second room at all, and they don't want to have anything to do with the second room.

"If you are the head of the house, don't worry about it so much. If you have the time to sweep the floor, wipe out the window sills and door frames. For the Chinese New Year, the house must be clean. Don't let people see it as a joke."

Well, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, these words can't be more suitable for Li Shi and Lin Shi. Before and after the separation, the status of the two people can be said to be completely reversed.

However, the two of them, or everyone in the big house, didn't think anything was wrong.

Worshiping ancestors is a matter for men, not women. When Lin Ze and the others come back, the women left behind in the family have already prepared the New Year's Eve dinner.

There are chickens, fish, meat, and dumplings. This is considered very rich. Lin Dali has never treated himself badly, especially when it comes to food. He can let his eldest grandson come back from school to work in farming, or he can not give his great-grandson He paid the tuition fee of half taels of silver, but he never treated his Wu Zang Temple badly.

Sun has been with the old man all her life. Although she is not valued and has little right to speak, she is indeed better than women of her age in the village in terms of eating and drinking.

The taste of this, probably even the person concerned can't tell whether it is more grievances or more enjoyment.

Or maybe they are enjoying it at all, just like the two brothers Lin Shi and Lin Mu, they have been completely brainwashed by the old man. In front of my own father, it was all passing.

No, at the New Year's Eve dinner, the two sides have already begun to compete to express their determination.

"Father, the cost of Fucheng is really not small, and our family has a lot of land. If I'm not at home, you can come over here in the spring, or let Lin Xi go there alone, and you can save a person. If you don’t pay travel expenses and expenses, or you can go to the county school to study, it’s not that there are no candidates in the county school, it’s the same anyway, as long as you work hard, you will succeed.”

On the one hand, Lin Mu has confidence in his son. On the other hand, it is also the most important reason, that is, he is worried about his own father. The family has sold eight acres of land, but there are still 22 acres left. The work has never been easy, from the beginning of spring to the autumn harvest.

Lin Xi: What I said along the way along the way is all in vain. His father hasn't changed his mind at all. Okay, you know that a son is not as good as a father.

Before the old man could speak, Lin Shi also made up his mind, "It's okay, I'll go home to help when the farming season is busy, and I won't let daddy work alone."

During the autumn harvest this year, he didn't think so much, and his son didn't think so much either. He was too busy rushing to the county to earn two silver coins, ignoring the matter of helping the old man farm the land, and he also forgot his second brother to accompany him. My nephew went to Fucheng to rush for the exam, so he couldn't stay at home to help.

With the lesson learned this time, I will definitely not forget it next year.

Li's complexion turned bad in an instant. They didn't grow their own land, they rented it out. Why did they come back to help others farm? Besides, when the family was separated, the old man was divided with the second bedroom. Working for the old man is equivalent to helping the second room.

Why, when the family was not separated, they were used as cows and horses for Erfang, and after the separation, they had to be used as cattle and horses for Erfang. They were not servants bought by Erfang.

Lin Ze wasn't happy either, he felt sorry for his own father, so he didn't let his father do the heavy work of carrying the big bag, but went to the bun shop to do light and easy work.

"Father, if you come back to help grandpa with work, what about taking Feng'er to school? Why don't you hire some part-time workers, or simply rent out the land, so that grandpa won't have to go to the field to do the hard work." Lin Ze said before the old man could speak.

For the second room's land, it is definitely impossible for the big house to pay for the short-term labor. As for renting out the land, that is also the second room's business, and it doesn't matter how much income it has.

Anyway, if the family is separated, it will be separated thoroughly, and it will be torn apart with great difficulty. There is no reason to stick them together again.

If the little grandson wins the election, Lin Dali has the confidence no matter whether he hires a few part-time workers or rents out the land, but now, hiring part-time workers will cost two taels of silver. There is food at home, but money is really not enough. A lot, and the little grandson's expenses are too high, so it's not suitable.

Renting out the land is definitely not as cost-effective as working on the land yourself. Whatever food you produce is your own, and you don't need to distribute it to others.

Therefore, Lin Dali still prefers to let the eldest son come back to help, or let the second son stay at home. As for whether the younger grandson will go to the prefectural school or the county school, that is not something he needs to worry about. Maybe he sold the land under his own name to let his grandson study.

People always have to leave some way out for themselves.

It's a pity that Lin Dali didn't teach this truth to his descendants, so the two sons didn't have this awareness at all, and the two grandsons didn't have this awareness before the original body, otherwise they wouldn't have been the head of the family for so many years. I haven't saved even a copper coin from my private house, but now, Lin Ze is an old goblin at all, so he doesn't understand this truth.

Lin Xi has nearly 20 years more memories than others. In this life, since he was a baby, he has been consciously making plans for himself, and he will not leave a way out for himself.

So under the back and forth, Lin Xi went to the county school to study, and Lin Mu didn't need to accompany him to study. He could farm the land in his hometown, and go to the county town to do odd jobs during the slack season.

As for Dafang, what was in the past is still the same now.

But there are still some troubles. I live in the county seat. If Lin Xi came to the door, he would definitely entertain him. If Lin Mu went to the city to do odd jobs, he would not be turned away if he went to his house to have a look.
