Peasant girl farming: I did beauty in ancient times

Chapter 22 Digging for Spring Bamboo Shoots

Early the next morning, Lin Yuehua took his younger siblings to dig spring bamboo shoots on the mountain. Not to mention that it was much easier to dig after it rained, and the soil was soft.

After digging for about an hour, Lin Dahu couldn't take it anymore and yelled: "Sister, can you stop digging? How long will it take to dig? I'm exhausted."

"If you don't dig, what do you eat? My aunt stole all the food in the house, and you don't know about it!" Lin Erya reprimanded angrily.

Lin Dahu remained silent, and seemed a little depressed.

However, Lin Yuehua felt that Lin Dahu had made a lot of progress. She used to work for half an hour and shouted, and today she persisted for an hour. Although she was anxious to dig spring bamboo shoots, she still let Lin Dahu take a break.

"Dahu, Erya, take a break, I'll dig a little longer, and we'll go home."

Lin Yuehua was still thinking about opening up wasteland, but digging spring bamboo shoots was more urgent now. They estimated that they would finish digging this bamboo grove in two days.

When I got off the mountain, I met a group of children in the village, making faces at Lin Yuehua.

He ran and sang: "Toad, ugly girl, there is no food at home!"

Lin Yuehua's face darkened.

"Little bastard, who are you scolding! See if I don't beat you to death." Lin Dahu rolled up his sleeves and rushed over to beat the group of children.

Lin Yuehua pulled Lin Dahu back.

"Sister, let me go! They scolded you." Lin Dahu was furious.

"Toad, ugly girl, there is no food at home!" The children kept singing, and they sang happily.

"Dahu, don't care about them, let's go home, the more you care about them, the more you will sing, and we will ignore them after singing a few lines, and they won't sing when it's boring."

Lin Yuehua was also angry, but she didn't want to waste time with a group of children, so she went home in a depressed mood.

At this moment Lin Erya whispered in Dahu's ear, "We can beat them up when sister is not around."

Lin Dahu immediately smiled: "Okay."

Back home, Lin Yuehua weighed 77 catties of spring bamboo shoots she had dug up, and she still had to dig [-] catties.

When he was wondering what to eat, Zhang Chunsheng came to the house.

"Big girl, my mother asked you to come to my house for dinner today. My eldest sister's family is here." Zhang Chunsheng looked at Lin Yuehua with a gentle smile on his brows and eyes.

"Sister, let's go." Lin Dahu's eyes lit up.

Lin Yuehua was a little hesitant, she knew that Aunt Zhang was thinking about the kindness that Da Niu Lin's mother had shown her to take care of the Zhang family, and repaying it to their siblings, but no matter how deep the kindness is, it's not good to always take advantage of it.

"Big girl, bring the tiger here." Zhang Chunsheng invited again.

"Okay, I dug the spring bamboo shoots, and I'll bring a few catties with me." Lin Yuehua brought three catties of spring bamboo shoots to Zhang Chunsheng's house for dinner.

On the way, I met sisters Lin Xiudi and Lin Zhuhua.

"Brother Chunsheng!" Lin Zhuhua's voice trembled with excitement.

Zhang Chunsheng nodded out of politeness, Lin Zhuhua seemed to have just seen Miss Lin beside Zhang Chunsheng, and her smile froze.

Lin Zhuhua said angrily, "Big girl, why are you here?"

Zhang Chunsheng didn't like Lin Zhuhua's tone, and said to her lightly: "My mother invited the big girl to my house for dinner, so let's go first."

Lin Yuehua watched from the sidelines, and she saw Lin Zhuhua at a glance. She probably was interested in Zhang Chunsheng, but I'm afraid it was because of the shaving head.

"Oh, Brother Chunsheng!" Lin Zhuhua still wanted to talk, but Zhang Chunsheng ignored her.

Instead, Lin Xiudi walked up to Lin Yuehua and said to her, "Big girl, I heard that you have been digging spring bamboo shoots on the mountain for the past few days. Let me go with you tomorrow. It's safe for us to be companions, and I can help you dig."

After speaking, Lin Xiudi pretended to glance at Zhang Chunsheng inadvertently.

"Come if you are free." Lin Yuehua thought that Lin Xiudi was much better than Lin Zhuhua, if Lin Zhuhua wanted to join her, she would definitely refuse.

"Okay, I'll look for you tomorrow." Lin Xiudi looked very happy.

Lin Yuehua didn't care. Miss Lin and Lin Xiudi didn't play much together in the past, but Lin Xiudi didn't laugh at her like other people in the village did. You can try to make friends.

Lin Yuehua thought about it, and it seemed that Da Niu Lin didn't have any friends.

When she came to Zhang Chunsheng's house, Lin Daniu also met Zhang Chunsheng's sister Zhang Xiahe. She was five points similar to Zhang Chunsheng, and she looked extremely outstanding. She could be regarded as a beauty in the nearby village.

"Sister Xia He." All three of Lin Yuehua's siblings were polite.

Zhang Xiahe was still holding a milk doll in her arms, and greeted with a smile: "Hey, isn't this a big girl? It's been a long time since I haven't seen her, and now I almost don't recognize her."

"Big girl, Xia He, you all sit indoors, the meal will be ready soon." The chubby Aunt Zhang poked her head out of the kitchen window and shouted loudly.

A group of people went to the main room, and Lin Yuehua also saw Zhang Xiahe's husband, who was said to be a carpenter, dark and thin, but he was very hardworking and a good carpenter, his family was doing well.

Zhang Chunsheng's father, Uncle Zhang, has always been an insignificant person, and Lin Yuehua politely asked him to say hello.

There were a dozen or so people in a room. After sitting down, they ate, and the meal was lively like a New Year's Eve.

"Big girl, eat more, look at how thin you are." Aunt Zhang added vegetables to Lin Yuehua's bowl.

"Auntie, I'm thin too." Lin Dahu grinned.

Aunt Zhang also added vegetables to Lin Dahu's bowl, and said with a smile, "Dahu also eats more."

The meal was more comfortable than Lin Yuehua imagined, and she didn't feel restrained, but she was too embarrassed to waste other people's meals, so she asked Aunt Zhang to go to the street tomorrow to help her bring some food back.

Lin Yuehua gave Aunt Zhang [-] Wen to buy food, and after the spring bamboo shoots were dug and the points were accumulated, she would go to town again.

After eating at Aunt Zhang's house, when she came home, she saw a tall and stalwart man standing at the door of her house from a distance. When she approached, she saw that the man was Zhao Yunting, which surprised Lin Yuehua.

"Brother Zhao, why are you here?"

"This is the spring bamboo shoots I promised to dig for you. I'll bring them to you." Zhao Yunting pointed to the two baskets by the door.

Lin Yuehua's eyes lit up when she saw the spring bamboo shoots, which probably weighed about twenty catties.

"Thank you, Brother Zhao." Lin Yuehua's eyes were crooked with a smile, but coupled with the acne on Lin Yuehua's face that was about to heal, it couldn't be called pretty.

Zhao Yunting was still cold, and said: "You are welcome, this is what I promised you, and you should do it. Do you see enough? If not, I will dig."

"That's enough, if you don't have enough later, you can help me. By the way, Brother Zhao, have you taken the pill? Is your injury better?" Lin Yuehua asked sincerely.

Zhao Yunting is not used to this kind of concern from others, he feels a little awkward, and he doesn't understand why he is awkward, but he has long been used to only being cared by his grandfather in this world.

"I ate it, and the injury is much better. I'm going home." After speaking, Zhao Yunting strode away.

Lin Yuehua looked at Zhao Yunting's back, and had a subtle feeling that he seemed to be running away.
