The splendid youth of the farm gate

Chapter 29 Eating Dumplings

"So, we have to hide the money ourselves. We will buy fields and land to build a new house in the future. I will buy you a dowry and marry my brother a wife!"

"Guo'er is right, sister, you can't let daddy know how much you earn. Dad is most afraid of grandpa and grandma. Once grandpa and grandma talk, he must take out the money." Luo Xiaojiang agreed.

Qingping nodded repeatedly.

She is not stupid, when grandpa and grandma were eating fish and meat, they never gave her sister and brother a piece of food, all of it was fed into Fugui's mouth.The money is in their own hands, so they can't afford to buy something!
From afar, Lin Shanwen saw Mrs. Zhong standing at the entrance of the village looking out. Thinking of the piece of silver on his chest, Lin Shanwen's feet felt windy, and Qingguo and the others were left behind.

Mrs. Zhong also saw Lin Shanwen and the others, and rushed up to meet them, "You're back, are you tired?"

"Not tired, not tired!" Lin Shanwen said quickly, raising his hand to take out the one or two pieces of silver.

"Grandpa!" Qingguo grabbed Lin Shanwen, glanced at the villagers who were looking at them, and said softly, "Let's go home first."

"Yes, let's go home first." Zhong looked at Qingguo and the others, "Guoer, do you want to go in and rest?"

Qingguo shook her head, "No, my mother should be in a hurry."

Zhong nodded, but did not dare to force them to stay, after all, it was getting late.

After bidding farewell to Mrs. Zhong, the three Qingguo siblings hurried home.When we arrived at Sankeng Village, it was already slightly dark, and from afar, we saw Mrs. Lin standing under the big pine tree at the east entrance of the village, looking into the distance.

"Mother, mother, we are back."

A long distance away, Luo Xiaojiang waved his hand at Lin.

When Lin heard the voice, after seeing that it was Qingguo and the others, she let out a long breath and hurried forward.

"Mother, hurry up!" Luo Xiaojiang stepped forward and squeezed Lin's hand, and said excitedly: "Mother, we bought meat and flour, and we will eat dumplings tonight."

Lin's heart jumped when she heard that they bought meat, she twitched her lips and said, "Have you made any money?"

Little General Luo nodded heavily.

Qingguo saw the flesh under the skin of Lin's eyes trembling violently, and finally, even the eye sockets were red.

"Mother, let's talk at home." Qing Guo stepped forward and took Lin's hand.

"Hey, let's go home. Your father has asked me many times why you haven't come back yet." Mrs. Lin took Qingguo with one hand and Xiaojiang Luo with the other, and said to Luo Qingping who was walking behind: "Ping, you are tired." No."

"Not tired."

Qingping is also happy, she is happier than anyone else that she can make money and feed her younger siblings.

"Hey, isn't this Guo'er? It's so late, where did you come back from?"

Widow Sun leaned against the door and looked towards them.

Lin turned her face away, and said hastily, "The children followed his grandfather to catch a market before returning." Then he led the three siblings away in a hurry as if being chased by a dog.

Widow Sun's voice sounded behind her.

"Hey, why are you pretending to be serious, you look down on my old lady, you treat me like an old lady and care about you..."

Qingguo turned her head to look at Widow Sun in the twilight, only to see her faintly bluish-white face and her mouth covered with red grease. There seemed to be a small face behind her looking towards her. Qingguo was so frightened that her heart leaked. After a beat, he turned around and hurried on his way.

When she got home, Qingping took out the rice, noodles and meat she had bought, and handed over the agreed two hundred Wen to Lin Shi, asking her to keep it. The money came to Luo Xingzu.

"Father, if the children are capable, they will be able to make money."

Luo Xingzu was also very happy. Looking at the three children standing in front of the bed, he felt that everything in his life was worth it!

"Mother, this is the only money we have. It's getting cold now, and we have to store food for the winter. You can hide this money." Qing Guo said.

"Hey, mother knows, mother must hide it well." Lin nodded repeatedly.

Qingguo winked at Luo Xiaojiang.

Luo Xiaojiang cleared his throat and looked at Luo Xingzu, "Father, this money is my sister, and Guo'er and I worked hard to earn it back. When you want to use it, don't forget to tell us."

"Father doesn't need it, I save it to buy clothes and food for you." Luo Xingzu said hastily.

General Luo smiled, and said to Mrs. Lin: "Mother, go make dumplings, I'm starving to death."

"Hey, mother, let's go."

Mrs. Lin got up and went to knead the noodles quickly, Qingping went to the field to chop a piece of lettuce and came back, and the young general pulled out half a catty of green onions and washed them.Qingguo poured water into the pot and started to light a fire.

When the dumplings were boiling, Mrs. Lin took a bowl and handed it to the young general, "Young general, send it to your sister-in-law Zhou."

"Hey, the young general picked it up and walked out."

Lin filled another bowl and said to Qingping, "Qingping, take this bowl to your grandpa and grandma."

what rice?Do you want to send it to those two old monsters?
"Mother, my grandfather and the others don't care about it." Qing Guo said.

"Whether they are rare or not is their business, but we are juniors, so we must not forget our duty," Lin said.

Qingping was going to pick up the bowl, Qingguo stood up quickly, "Sister, let me go."

"Let me go." Qingping said softly, thinking of Qingguo's injuries.

"No, I'll go."

Qingguo took a basket, put away the bowl containing the dumplings, picked it up and walked out.

In the old house of Luo's family, Mr. Luo's family had already gathered around the Eight Immortals Table to eat.Luo Fugui's eyes were sharp, and he saw Qingguo walking away with a basket, and immediately put down the chicken leg he was biting, and said to Master Luo.

"Master, Luo Qingguo is here with a basket. Didn't he come to ask us for food?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen quickly put most of the chicken left on the table into the drawer under the table, and said bitterly, "Even if I give it to the dog, I won't give it to her."

Luo Xingcai drank two sips of wine, listened to Chen's words, and said in agreement: "Mother is right, that girl's film is too vicious, the second child doesn't know how to teach it!"

Although Luo Xingwang and Luo Xiangyuan didn't speak, they showed deep disgust on their faces at the same time.

"Grandma, eat!"

While speaking, Qing Guo had already reached the door.

"What are you doing here?" Chen asked angrily.

"My family eats dumplings today, and my mother asked me to send you a bowl to repay you and my father." Qing Guo said and brought out the bowl from the basket.

As soon as Mrs. Xu heard that he was here to deliver food, she immediately got up and went to pick it up. Seeing that the bowl was not big, she immediately became unhappy. "I said Guoer, your mother is too stingy, there are so many people in the family, who is enough for these few dumplings?"

Qingguo twitched the corners of her mouth, "Auntie, you are rich and powerful, my family can't compare with yours, but these are the ones my mother saved to honor my father and grandma. If you want to eat, you can pack it yourself."
