Chapter 51
"Then why did you bring it back and let Fatty keep it and stew it for the dog to eat?"
Mother Lin looked at the big turtle with its teeth and claws, and thought of her skinny and small grandson.
"Fat Ya asked us to bring them back so that we can respect our parents. Moreover, Doudou and Maomao are also very thin. Fat Ya said she felt distressed when she saw them."
"This child." Mother Lin smiled more after hearing Lin Ercheng's words.
She just hopes that her children can live their own lives.
"It's Fatty's idea anyway. When the eldest and second eldest brother come back tomorrow, our family will have a better meal in the evening." Father Lin looked at the turtle lying at his feet. Not to mention how rare he was, he had lived so long. I haven’t eaten soft-shelled turtle in years, and Fat Ya’s daughter is also interested.
Doudou and Maomao knew there was something delicious, so they immediately got into the room and lay on the bed, closed their eyes and waited to sleep.
Chen Qiulan and Sun Cui looked at each other, both blushing.
They can't compare to my sister-in-law.
A turtle suddenly made Nanzhi become selfless in the hearts of the Lin family.
It was still dark early the next morning, and two brothers, Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng, were slapped awake by their mother-in-law and went out.
Yawnings never stopped along the way, and when they were about to reach Lihua Village, they saw Shen Dashan leading a group of men carrying hoes towards them from a distance. Both of them were confused for a moment.
"Brother, what's going on?" Lin Ercheng looked at the group of people walking with great momentum and scratched his head in confusion. Isn't that a wasteland over there?
"How do I know this? They are all carrying hoes. Could it be that they are going to the mountains to open up wasteland?"
Lin Yicheng felt a little confused when he saw that. What else could so many people do on the mountain this morning?
"Now God doesn't even see a few drops of rain. Why are we clearing out wasteland?"
"Then they are going to dig graves."
"Dig graves?" Lin Ercheng looked at the mighty crowd turning around and disappeared, and was stunned: "Did you dig graves for those individuals?"
"How about going to the mountains to dig ginseng?" Lin Yicheng looked a little disgusted at his younger brother. How could a person who usually seemed so smart always turn into a fool in strange places?
"Okay, okay, hurry to Fat Ya's house. I'll chop some more firewood and stuff back and pile them up today."
Lin Ercheng didn't talk to his brother. Anyway, when he went to Fat Ya's house, his nephew still liked him more.
"Fat Ya, open the door."
Nanzhi was awakened by the movement in the village early in the morning. As soon as there was a knock on the courtyard door, she opened the door with two dark circles under her eyes.
"Big brother, second brother, it's so early."
Looking at Nanzhi who was yawning profusely, the two brothers Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng almost couldn't help but yawn as well. They woke up two quarters of an hour earlier than yesterday.
"Ah, eldest brother and second brother, did you not sleep well last night?" Nanzhi stared at the faces of the two brothers, faintly seeing some dark circles under their wheat-colored skin.
"What's the matter?" Lin Yicheng waved his hand. He couldn't say it was his mother-in-law who woke him up early in the morning and rushed to Lihua Village, right?
Nanzhi let out a disbelief, and then moved his gaze to Lin Ercheng's face.
"What are you doing? Are you reluctant to let us in?" Lin Ercheng coughed twice and was about to push the door open.
Nanzhi stepped aside and only pursed her lips and snickered, what is this called, this is called bluffing.
Maybe he was disliked by his sister-in-law.
Thinking that it would be cooler if they went out early, the two brothers didn't wait for Nanzhi to make breakfast. They took the pancakes they brought and ate them with cold water before going out.
"Hey, big brother and second brother, why are you panicking? I'll make two more bowls of noodles and you guys can eat them before going to the mountain!"
Nanzhi saw his two brothers were about to go out with their things, and shouted a few words quickly.
"Now that you've eaten the pancakes, just wait at home with your dog. I guess the people in your village will be buried today, so don't go out with your dog."
Lin Ercheng waved his hand and gave instructions before following his eldest brother.
Little babies are easily frightened if they touch the coffin.
Looking at the hurried backs of his two brothers, Nanzhi was a little confused. After thinking about it carefully, he guessed that the house at home also needed to be repaired. It would be great if the brothers and the others could spare two days to come over and help. They can't leave the house at home alone. in spite of.
I chopped firewood for myself today, and I will probably have to repair the house at home tomorrow.
Thinking about half of the firewood piled in the woodshed, the tip of Nanzhi's nose felt a little sore. This must be family.
It would be nice if grandma was here.
"Mom, uncle, are they here?" The dog came out with his bare buttocks and saw his mother crying, so he hurried over.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?"
Nanzhi looked at the worried little look on the dog's face, smiled and wiped the tears on his face: "Aniang is so happy."
If grandma knew that she now had a family, she would be happy for herself.
The dog raised his little face, a little confused. Why did the mother-in-law shed tears when she was happy?
Then he asked cautiously: "Mom, do you cry when you are happy?"
"Yes, I am so happy that people will cry."
After hearing what his mother-in-law said, Gou'er nodded and just made a note in his mind that people would shed tears if they were too happy.
After wiping her tears, Nanzhi went to the kitchen to make breakfast. Her two brothers were away, so she didn't use white flour, but only used black flour and potatoes to make a few potato pancakes.
Throughout the morning, Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng ran back and forth three times. Seeing the two of them soaked in sweat as if they had been fished out of the water, Nanzhi felt a little distressed and only took them to have lunch at home. Sleep for an hour before going back to work.
Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng, no matter how strong they were, were still exhausted after running these few times, so they nodded and agreed to take a rest.
The group of people digging grave pits on the mountain were a little helpless.
The weather was so hot that although there was a lot of open space on this slope, there were also a lot of stones, so it was very laborious to dig a grave.
Shen Dashan put down his hoe and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Looking at the dozens of large and small grave pits, he felt heavy in his heart.
Last time, the village collected a total of nineteen taels of silver, and he and several elders in the village each took out some more. In addition, using the grain as subsidies to buy coffins for the dozen or so homeless families was not a problem. .
I just think that the people I joked with a few days ago will now be buried, and I feel bad at all.
"Dad, we've dug them all, and we're just waiting for them to come back." Shen Qinghe came over and said as soon as he counted the number of dug holes.
"Okay, leave a few people waiting on the mountain. You give them dry food, and I will take the people down the mountain to pick them up."
After saying this, a group of people followed Shen Dashan back to the dam at the entrance of the village and waited.
When the sun reached high in the sky, Shen Dashan and a group of men sat on the dam and waited. The hot sun shone on everyone's heads and made them sweat.
After another hour, even Shen Dashan took off his clothes and fanned himself, and then saw a group of small black dots slowly approaching from a distance.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Shen Qingchuan looked carefully and shouted excitedly when he recognized Shen Yuncai at the front.
It’s finally back!
The men wiped the sweat from their faces before standing up and waiting.
"Li Zheng, we are back!"
Shen Yuntian looked excited at the people on the dam. Today's experience was really exciting.
