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

Chapter 29 29 Cotton Seeds
Lin He was carrying the egg, and saw his aunt holding An'er to play aside, but An'er didn't recognize his birth, so she was held by the grandmother, giggling and grinning from time to time.

Lin He took a look around at the uncle's house. Although it was a simple mud-tiled house, it was large and clearly divided into several parts. One of the rooms had the word "Happy" pasted on the door.

That should be Li Changsheng and Xiuling's new house.

Li Changsheng and his brothers and sisters-in-law were not at home. They probably went to the field first. The uncle and aunt kept it specially because they knew she was coming and waited on purpose.

Sure enough, as soon as the eldest aunt carried An'er to look at the little chicken, the uncle said: "Xiaohe, is Changhui at home?"

"Uncle, Brother Hui has gone up the mountain. He went hunting in the mountain today, and he may not come back until afternoon."

"That's it, it's the same as you said." The uncle smoked a pipe and knocked on the stone mill beside him.

"I see that your fields haven't been plowed yet. Our family has the last bit left today. Tomorrow, I will ask Changsheng to help your family plow the fields. Although the fields are not very good, we still need to plant crops. We will use more fertilizer and retting in the future. It can also become a fertile field.”

"And about the little pig, I'll also help to inquire about it. It happens that the seedlings are raised, so I'll take him to catch them. It's not too far away in the neighboring village."

"Really? Great, I'll clean up the pigsty today."

After he hesitated for a moment, he decided to say: "By the way, uncle, Brother Hui is also planning to buy cattle, so it will be more convenient whether it is for work or going to town."

Only then did the uncle show surprise: "Buy it yourself? That's not cheap, you just split it out, didn't you get the money?"

It is no secret in the village that Li Changhui was separated without a penny.

Lin He laughed and said, "I didn't get it, unless Brother Hui is very good at hunting. If he says he can buy it, he will definitely be able to."

Last time, those pheasants and hares all blocked their throats with one arrow. This alone is not something ordinary hunters can do.

So even if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lin He absolutely believed in Li Changhui's ability.

"That's okay. Changhui has the ability to make money to support his family, so we can rest assured."

Seeing that Lin He was a little surprised, the uncle smiled and said, "At any rate, it is the child we grew up with, and of course we are looking forward to him."

He said with some emotion.

"That kid was honest when he was young. He was not as clever as the two little ones. He didn't take the blame for the two little ones. He didn't listen to teaching him to be smarter. He always said that the elder brother should give way to the younger brother."

"I didn't expect that it would be useless for us to teach for more than ten years. After going out for ten years, it has changed a lot, but it's good now. There are so many people in your family. How can you keep letting the younger brothers and yourself for nothing? The family suffers."

Finally, the uncle also made a summary.

"Brothers are in harmony. It's not the same as if one person suffers a disadvantage, and the rest only care about taking advantage."

Hearing that Li Changhui was honest again, Lin He felt it was very weird. She didn't know what Li Changhui was like before, but the current Li Changhui had nothing to do with being honest.

But Lin He didn't say much, and even felt that his uncle was quite reasonable, and he didn't think that Li Changhui was unfilial if he didn't listen to his parents.

So Lin He said with a smile: "Uncle is right. Brother Hui and I both feel that since we have separated, we should honor our parents. We will not forget, but apart from these, we must take care of the children in the family first." OK."

Regarding Lin He's words, the uncle expressed his satisfaction: "Yes, you should not forget those who should be filial to your parents, but the family members should not treat you badly either. You are still young, and you will have children in the future. You should plan more."

Lin He didn't know how to answer these words. She and Li Changhui were just a couple in name, so it was impossible for them to have other children.

It's just that we can't tell the old man directly that we don't know how to have children, even if the uncle is not their parents, we probably have to talk about it all the time.

Lin He was in embarrassment, and the eldest aunt came over with Li An in her arms: "Why are you talking so much, Xiaohe Changhui is not a child, they know what they want to do."

"Xiaohe, don't be as knowledgeable as your uncle. He just loves to worry. The whole Xiang'an Village is not enough to worry about him. He likes to preach when he catches young people every day."

A flash of inspiration came to Lin He's mind, and he remembered: "Oh, I remember when I first came to Xiang'an Village, I heard Brother Hui say that my uncle is the head of Xiang'an Village, right?"

No wonder, as the village head, he naturally has his own responsibilities, so he took the initiative to let Li Changhui come to their house to pick up dung.

"Yes, if your parents-in-law bother you, you can come to your uncle to help you judge."

"Okay, thank you auntie, auntie, you should go to work first, I'm going to go back too."

Lin He carried Li An over and called Li Yu and Li Hao. She hadn't had time to tidy up the things Li Changhui bought this morning.

It was getting late now, and everyone went out to work one after another. After the uncle and aunt left, Lin He talked to Xiuling for a while, seeing that she was still feeding the pigs and chickens, so he didn't bother her.

On the way back, Li Yu carried the eggs and walked carefully, for fear of breaking the eggs.

When she was near Madam Xie after all the work, she was stopped again. It turned out that she was telling Lin He that she wanted to buy pheasants or hares again.

"I wanted to tell you just now, but I forgot it as soon as I interrupted it. When your parent Hui comes back, tell him to leave me a big one. The price is the same as the price charged in the town."

Last time I stewed a pheasant at home, not to mention, the taste is not the same as pork, obviously there is not much chicken, but a pot of dried bamboo shoots, mushrooms and radishes are very fragrant.

Even working has more strength.

The most important thing is that the last time Li Changhui kept a hare at home to eat by himself, and the two families were close to each other. When Li Yu and Li Hao were playing with their children, talking about the hare made the children greedy.

It will take a while to be busy, and the family is not really that tight. It is still willing to buy something good to reward the family.

Lin He hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Okay, when Brother Hui comes back, I'll just tell him."

It's just that Li Changhui said that he wanted to go deep. She guessed that he wanted to find a big guy, but she didn't know if he would catch pheasants and hares and come back.

If you encounter it, if you are comfortable, you should not miss it.

After returning home, Lin He put Li An in his small chair and let his two brothers watch outside, while he dried all the bamboo shoots first, and then went to pack the things Li Changhui bought in the morning.

She put the ribs in a cool place in the kitchen, and she didn't plan to make them at noon. When they were stewed at night, Li Changhui could eat them together when he came back.

The clothes of several people were wrapped in a big package. Lin He called a few children back and gave them their new clothes and shoes.

Her personal belongings were also brought back, but they were still wrapped separately, and she put them in the cabinet together with her own clothes.

In addition to these, there is actually a pack of black seeds, some snacks, mung bean cake, hazelnut cake, etc., and a catty of sugar.

The black seeds should be cotton seeds. Unexpectedly, the owner of the grocery store is quite powerful. There are quite a lot of them in one big bag, which weighs two or three catties.
