Traveling through the farmhouse: farming and making a fortune and raising cubs

Chapter 28: Grandma's Meeting Ceremony

The chat at the dinner table did not affect the mood of the two children at all. On the way to the grandpa's house, they jumped up and down just like the monkey.

"Be careful, you two, be careful not to fall, and there will be nowhere to cry!"

Lin He hugged the third child and followed behind the two boys and shouted, probably because of his loud voice, which contrasted too much with his thin body, which attracted the attention of passers-by.

Seeing that Lin He was alone and the scary Li Changhui was not by his side, he greeted him with confidence.

"Xiaohe, it's so early, where are you going with the baby?"

It was Aunt Xie from her next door, the one who bought pheasants and told them that it was Li Cuifang who brought her two daughters-in-law to their house to 'steal money'.

Glancing at the two children who were about to arrive at the aunt's house, he simply stopped and prepared to chat: "Thank you, auntie, I'll go to the aunt's house to buy some eggs. There are no chickens at home, so I can only buy them."

"Buy eggs? Give it to your third child?"

Calculating the size, this seven or eight month old baby can indeed eat some egg custard.

"That's right, An'er can't just eat rice porridge every day, not to mention I'm going to be busy in the fields soon, I don't have time to go to the town to buy meat every day, so I have to feed Brother Hui something good."

Although she doesn't care what others say, she doesn't like being gossiped behind her back every day.

Now that someone asked, she was not stingy about showing her kindness openly, so that those people would not say that she was lazy, or that Li Changhui had found something and came back and waited.

When Aunt Xie heard this, she immediately sighed with emotion: "I see you raise this dog, no, Li Yu and Li Hao have gained weight in the past ten days, and even their clothes are cleaner. Only those who care about them will take care of them.”

Lin He smiled and said nothing, and it was obvious that Mrs. Xie was the grandparent of the two children, and she didn't feel sorry for them, nor cared about them.

Just as she was about to leave, Aunt Xie changed the subject: "By the way, Xiaohe, I seem to have seen today that your parents Hui went up the mountain again?"

"Yeah, we just started to settle down, we need to buy too many things, and there are many places to spend money. Brother Hui used to bring back all the money and gave it to my mother-in-law and the others. Now I have no money, so I can only think about it." There are other ways."

Speaking of this, Lin He showed a gratified expression at the right time: "The crops in our family's fields are not growing very well, and the harvest may not be good. Fortunately, Brother Hui can hunt, otherwise the family will be hungry."

Aunt Xie immediately forgot what she wanted to say, and echoed repeatedly.

"Your father-in-law and mother-in-law are too much. There are so many people in your family, why do you all allocate the worst fields to your family?"

"It's also Changhui's honesty. If it's like this, he won't make trouble with his parents. Besides, his parents are not good to your two grandchildren. If it were me, I would take all the money I gave them before." Just come back."

honest?

Lin He raised his eyebrows, and separated himself from the big family in a calm manner. The good reputation is all on his own, and the bad reputation is all on his in-laws. Is this called honesty?

As far as the separation of the family is concerned, who doesn't scold Li Yonglin and Liu Cuifang for being cruel, the eldest son's salary has supported their big family, and as a result the eldest son kicked out Nian as soon as he came back.

Moreover, if Li Changhui showed off his hunting skills right after he came back, no matter what, the in-laws and his family would probably not agree to their separation, right?

Who would believe that Li Changhui did it on purpose?

Lin He didn't believe that he didn't do it on purpose.

Of course, it is enough to know this kind of thing in your heart, there is no need to say it.

So Lin He just smiled: "It's okay, Auntie Xie, we are still young, and the money that brother Hui gave before should be regarded as filial piety to our parents, and we will earn it ourselves in the future."

Turning around, she saw that Li Yu and Li Hao had already arrived at the uncle's house. Xiuling came out of the house and looked around in the yard. When she saw her, she was about to come here.

"You two are too honest, you can't let yourself suffer even if you are young."

Madam Xie was still fighting for them, Lin He just smiled: "Madam Xie, I'll go there first, you're busy, I'll talk to you later."

"Oh, fine, you go first."

Lin He left satisfied, presumably within a day, the content of her chat with Aunt Xie would spread throughout the village.

Although it won't do any real harm to the in-laws' family, it's good to be able to separate their big family from their own small family.

At least, you can't let gossip fall on your own family. Lin He knows a little about the power of gossip in the village.

Xiuling greeted her from a distance: "Sister-in-law, have you eaten yet?"

"I just came here after eating, Xiuling, are they at home, Uncle?" After all, Xiuling is a new daughter-in-law, and she has no control over many things at home, so she still has to tell her uncle and aunt to buy things.

"Here, I just had dinner. If you are a little later, they will go to the fields."

Lin He saw it too, it was in the yard, there were hoes and rakes beside it, obviously they were all waiting for her.

Li Yu and Li Hao have already gone to play with the grandchildren of the grandpa's family. Presumably the two children have already expressed their intentions, and the aunt is still holding a bamboo basket in her hand.

Lin He took a few steps quickly: "Uncle, Auntie, did you not delay you?"

"It's okay, we're not in a hurry, just now Yuer Haoer said you want to buy eggs, so I'll pick them up for you first."

The eldest aunt carried the bamboo basket to Lin He, took advantage of the situation and hugged Li An, weighed it, and was very satisfied.

"This kid is quite heavy, like a stone pier. I was worried that you young people don't have experience in taking care of children. Now it seems that we are thinking too much."

Lin He explained with a smile: "I really don't have much experience. Brother Hui takes care of An'er most of the time."

"By the way, auntie, how much are these eggs?"

There are a lot of eggs, and it is not convenient to count them even if they are half a basket full.

"Whatever money you want, just treat it as a full moon gift from me to An'er. You can take it back and eat it. If you have time, just bring me the basket."

"That's not okay, auntie, I don't buy eggs once or twice. I may keep buying them until my family has a hen to lay eggs."

Lin He took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, which contained thirty cash, and eggs were usually one penny each, which was enough money.

The eldest aunt gave her a strange look: "I'll talk about it later when I buy it. Today, this is for a few children. If you give money, I will be angry."

Lin He was taken aback, the first person in the village to show kindness to them was actually the eldest aunt.

No, the uncle also asked them to come to the house to pick up manure before.

Such a comparison, on the contrary, is better than the in-laws' family.

After thinking about it, Lin He didn't refuse, and said with a smile: "That's fine, I'll make it a meeting gift from grandma to An'er today, and I'll buy it from my aunt next time."
