Nongmen eldest sister: Farming and opening shops

Chapter 22

The rabbit was peeled, chopped into small pieces by Lin Qinghe, and stewed in a pot. Even if there was no more seasoning, just a little salt was simply added, and the taste was very fragrant. The four brothers and sisters ate it deliciously. a meal.

"When Dad was here, I didn't think rabbit meat was so delicious. Now that I'm eating it, why is it so delicious?" After eating a meal of rabbit meat, she felt that the pain on her feet didn't hurt that much.

Lin Qingbai held the bowl and sipped the soup. He also felt that the rabbit meat tasted very good today.

"The taste is really good, and I'm a little full."

He is not in good health, and sometimes he will not be able to digest the accumulated food if he eats a few more mouthfuls. You have to keep your mouth shut.

But at this moment, he couldn't control himself, and now he felt a little regretful, but it's best not to overeat.

"It's because my elder sister's craftsmanship has improved! The taste is so delicious, I wish I could even chew the bones." Lin Qingsong couldn't stop eating. He hadn't stopped eating since serving the table. He eats the fastest and the most.

"It's not that my skills have improved, it's that you haven't eaten meat for a long time, and you're so hungry."

Lin Qinghe glanced at them silently, and said: "In a few days, I will go to the back mountain to set up more traps. If I can catch prey, there is no need to sell it. Let us keep it for ourselves."

Right now, I still have a lot of money in my hands, so there is no need to be so frugal. It is a bad thing to wear down the body, especially the third child, who was not in good health at first, but now looks thinner and weaker, as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind.

"Okay, okay!" Lin Qingmiao hurriedly applauded and cheered.

Lin Qingsong also hurriedly said: "Sister, I'll help you set traps together, set up a few more, then we will eat meat every day." He has been really greedy recently.

If he had never eaten meat since he was a child, he wouldn't be greedy, but suddenly he lived in such a poor life, and he was very uncomfortable. It's just that he is so old, and he knows things, he only thinks in his heart, and he doesn't dare to say anything. explain.

Lin Qingbai glanced at him, and it was hard to say that even when his father was around, he didn't eat meat every day.

Hearing what he said, Lin Qinghe murmured: "If you want to eat meat every day, you have to catch more prey. There are often people walking around the back mountain, and small animals won't come out. It's luck to catch a rabbit. I think To catch more prey, we have to go into the mountains.”

Hearing this, Lin Qingsong paused, and tentatively said: "Sister, shall we go into the mountains?"

Everyone knows that the mountains are dangerous. Otherwise, why is Lin Dazhuang the only hunter in the village, because he is the only one who has the ability to go in well and come out well. Most people who enter the mountains may not be able to come out with all their tails. , either here or there, some people even went into the mountain a few years ago and never came out again.

"Sister, why don't we stop eating meat? It's dangerous in the mountains." Lin Qingbai said worriedly.

Lin Qingmiao looked up at them, opened her mouth, and finally said nothing. Although she was young, she was not ignorant. Compared with eating meat, safety is more important than danger.

Lin Qinghe smiled and said: "The mountains may not be as dangerous as you imagined. I followed my father into the mountains since I was a child, and I am familiar with the mountains. Don't worry, I can come back as soon as I go."

There are many beasts in the mountains that can hurt people, but she is confident that she has the ability to protect herself.

"Sister, I'll go with you when the time comes." Lin Qingsong said, although there are dangers in the mountains, he is the oldest man in the family, so he should be responsible.

Hearing him take the initiative to speak, Lin Qinghe nodded: "It's okay, I will take you with me then."

That's what she said, but what she thought in her heart was that if she took him with her, she would at most just walk around the periphery, and it would be more convenient for her to go alone into the deep mountains.

Lin Qingsong was very happy when he heard that the big sister was willing to take him with him, and he felt a sense of pride in his heart. Even though he is still young, he can still contribute to the family.

After a delicious meal, everyone was very satisfied.

Just seeing Lin Qinghe came out with the medicine bowl, Lin Qingmiao's face suddenly fell down: "Sister, I really want to drink medicine!"

Lin Qinghe didn't speak, just looked at her with his eyes, and she was defeated by herself: "Okay, I'll drink!" It looked like a strong man cut off his wrist and never returned.

Lin Qingbai glanced at her contemptuously, and muttered: "Isn't it just a drink of medicine?" Picking up the bowl, he gulped it down proudly.

Lin Qingmiao looked straight: "Third brother, isn't it bitter?"

"The good medicine tastes bitter. After drinking it, your injury will heal soon. After the injury is healed, you can go to the village to play with Hei Ya."

"That's right, I haven't played with Hei Ya for a long time. She came to me a few days ago and asked me if I thought her family was poor and didn't want to play with her anymore."

Immediately imitating her third brother's appearance, she took a few sips of the bowl and drank it. Suddenly, she stuck out her tongue in bitterness, and Lin Qinghe stuffed a maltose into her mouth.

A sweet taste spread in the mouth, and Lin Qingmiao raised her eyes immediately: "It's maltose, where did you get it, big sister?"

Lin Qinghe also gave one to Lin Qingbai, and then replied: "Where else can I get it? Of course, I bought it with money. I thought that you have been very obedient recently, so I bought candy as a reward. I didn't think it would be useful." .”

"Oh, our family is also poor now, so there is no need to buy candy specially, this candy is not cheap." Lin Qingmiao sighed like an adult while eating candy in her mouth.

"It's enough for the eldest sister to worry about making money. You are a child, so why worry about it." He reached out and touched her head, sighing inwardly at her sensibleness.

Turning around and seeing Lin Qingbai again, he held the candy in his palm and didn't eat it.

"Isn't the medicine bitter? Eat a piece of candy to sweeten your mouth." As he said that, he reached out and touched his head, saying: "Since you are injured, you can rest at home and don't need to help chop firewood anymore." , I have nothing to do at home, I can read a book or write."

"Both of us can't help, can the second brother be busy alone?"

"I will send firewood to the county seat tomorrow, and I will tell Aunt Yu at the tofu shop that I won't send firewood to her. I thought about it, and it's not a problem to be away every day. Just like today, I want to If you didn't come in time, you don't know what it is like!"

Then Wang Erlang's attack is not serious, so many times, how many of them will have a chance to grow up?
Besides, she asked Butcher Wang to pay the money. Seeing his unconvinced look, he might have a grudge, so she was even more worried about keeping a few young ones at home.

"Is it okay not to deliver firewood?" Lin Qingbai asked worriedly.

"It doesn't matter, a load of firewood is only a few pennies, and it takes time and effort. Let's think of other ways to make money. We won't be hungry for a while. You are a child, so you don't have to worry so much."

Lin Qingbai nodded. The firewood could not be sold at a high price, and the elder sister took the burden to the city. The journey was really hard. This is not a girl's job at all.

As she said that, she thought about it and said, "If you have nothing to do, practice your handwriting at home. I heard that you can make money by copying books for others, but you can't do it if you write poorly."

When she said this, Lin Qingbo suddenly became fascinated: "Really?"

He was worried that he would not be able to help. If he could make money by copying books, that would be great.

"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to someone, but the word you are now is too immature to do well."

"I will practice calligraphy well. My mother praised me before, saying that my handwriting is good." With some ambition in his heart, he became energetic.
