Nongmen eldest sister: Farming and opening shops

Chapter 3 Chopping Wood
Seeing that Mrs. Su finally came out, Granny Zhao rushed up to meet her. She was a little surprised when she saw that she was walking non-stop and did not take the child away, but she didn't ask anything.

The children outside the house watched their mother walk by in front of them, walking hurriedly, and she didn't even look back at them, which made them very depressed, and just followed Su's back until they couldn't see her anymore. See you soon.

"Sister, mother is gone." Lin Qingsong lowered his head, his voice choked with sobs.

He knew better than his younger brothers and sisters, knowing that his mother had remarried and would belong to someone else's family in the future.

Lin Qinghe reached out and touched his head: "Well, don't be afraid, there is a big sister here, and the big sister will take good care of you."

She touched them one by one. In the past, the Su family was a hands-off shopkeeper. She only cared about giving birth to children, but she was impatient to take care of them. The following younger siblings were all raised by her.

Among the three younger siblings, except for Lin Qingbai who often stays at home because of her weak body and gets along with Su Shi more, the other two almost always follow her ass.

"That mother?" Lin Qingbai hesitated.

Lin Qinghe smiled slightly: "They all live in the same village. If you miss her, you can visit her. If she misses us, she will come back to visit us. We are not far away, so you can see us if you want."

What she said is right, as long as you have the heart, you can see each other every day. The Wang family lives in the village, and their house is close to the back mountain. There is some distance between them, but it is not far away.

The younger ones were all relieved when they heard her words. The mother is married, but it's not like they won't be able to see each other anymore. The previous reluctance to part with her has faded a lot now.

"Qingbai, you are weak, you cried again earlier, go back to the house and rest for a while, don't make yourself sick."

Lin Qingbai nodded sleepily, lowered his eyes, still feeling sad in his heart, just now he wanted his mother to take him with him, but she didn't want to.

"Qing Miao, you also go back to the house, stay with your third brother, don't run outside."

Lin Qingmiao nodded vigorously. She didn't want to go to the Wang family with the Su family. She had been with the eldest sister since she was a child, and she couldn't bear to part with her. Besides, Wang Qiuhe, the daughter of Butcher Wang, pulled her hair and scolded her a few days ago, saying She went to Wang's house to eat rice.

"Sister, are you going out?"

"Well, your second brother and I went to the back mountain to cut some firewood and came back." Living by the back mountain is also beneficial, and chopping firewood is much more convenient.

When Lin Qingsong heard this, he cheered up immediately. His father was gone, his mother remarried, and the family still had to live, so he should help the family more.

They were making arrangements here, when a voice sounded outside the courtyard door.

"Qinghe, are you home?"

As soon as Lin Qinghe heard the voice, he knew who was coming, and hurriedly greeted the gate of the courtyard: "It's Aunt Osmanthus, why are you here at this time, please come in."

"I won't go in. I'll bring you some food. I just heard that your mother has left. Are you all right?" A lot of peace of mind.

Lin Dazhuang wanted to save her family from losing her family. Although she gave five taels of silver to the Lin family, she still felt uneasy. Now that the Su family has remarried again, leaving only a few children, she was worried about the children, so she thought about coming here take a look.

"Why don't you always want my aunt's stuff?"

"It's not worth anything, it's all grown in your own land, just don't dislike it." For farmers, food is not worth much, but the Lin family has no land, so they have to buy everything they eat. they need.

"Why do you dislike it? It's good to say that there is reciprocity. I will accept the food from my aunt and let Qingsong send you bundles of firewood later."

"That's not necessary." Tang Guihua hurriedly stopped her, and then said: "You child, why are you being polite to me, things in this world are always unsatisfactory, there is no obstacle that you can't get over, if there is anything at home, just come Tell me at home, with me and your Uncle Zhao here, I can always help."

Lin Qinghe nodded: "Okay, thank you auntie, if there is anything at home, I will definitely go to you."

"That's right, well, you must be busy, so Auntie won't bother you." After finishing speaking, she left a basket of vegetables and left.

This comes and goes with a gust of wind.

Seeing the person walking away, she slowly looked away.

Their father saved Aunt Osmanthus's son, Zhuzi. Zhuzi's surname is Zhao, the grandnephew of the village head. This is Zhaojia Village. Most of the people in the village are named Zhao. It is considered an outsider.

The Lin family had no relatives in the village, and no one came out to stop Su's marriage. It was because of this that her marriage went so smoothly.

Sending away Aunt Osmanthus, took a basket of vegetables back to the eaves and put them away, took the straw rope in one hand, and took the hatchet in the other, told the brothers and sisters to close the door, and then took Lin Qingsong to the back mountain to cut firewood .

The family has no income, so they can't sit and eat, so they can cut more firewood and bring it to the county town, and they can exchange it for a few pennies. Even if they are tired, they don't earn much.

She was brought up by Lin Dazhuang, and he ran all over the mountains with him since she was a child. Lin Dazhuang is not a particular person. He raised his daughter like a son. He not only taught her some boxing skills, but also taught her how to hunt and archery. The skills of an Orion Society , She has followed suit, what she lacks now is experience, and she is still young and lacks strength.

When he arrived at the back mountain, Lin Qingsong swung the hatchet and slashed fiercely, as if venting, trying to vent all the dissatisfaction in his heart on the firewood.

After Lin Qinghe let him chop for a while, seeing that he didn't intend to stop, he opened his mouth and said: "Don't use too much force, or you won't be able to lift your arm tomorrow. If you can't help, all the work will fall on me." It's on the head."

Lin Qingsong listened to Fang's movement and slowed down the speed of chopping firewood.

"Elder Sister, what should we do in the future?" He didn't quite believe what Su Shi said. After marrying the Wang family, how could he control them? Those words were just deceiving the younger two.

"Chop firewood and sell it in the county town. You can exchange it for a few pennies and come back. I'll go into the mountains to see if I can catch prey. You don't have to worry too much. With me here, life can always go on." .”

Lin Qingsong nodded when he heard her words, selling firewood is no problem, he can do the job of cutting firewood, as for hunting in the mountains, he can also go into the mountains with his elder sister, compared to those who don’t know anything, they At least he has a good understanding of the terrain in the mountains and how to avoid danger.

"Sister, you don't have to worry, I will grow up, just wait until I grow up."

"Okay, I'll wait." Lin Qinghe smiled, with gratification in his eyes. He was a carefree young man when his parents were there. After these things happened, he suddenly became more sensible and knew how to take responsibility. That's fine.

"It's a bit bitter now, but our days will always get better and better. With the eldest sister here, I will definitely not let you go hungry."

Lin Qingsong listened to her words and remained silent for a long time. What he thought in his heart was that the eldest sister is not afraid of hardship at all, but the mother can't bear any hardship.

The siblings chopped a lot of firewood, Lin Qinghe tied a bundle and asked Lin Qingsong to send it to Zhao's house, and the other siblings ran a few times to get it back to the yard.
