Chapter 20
Lin Guoxiang didn't care about the scholar who followed carefully with a smiling face, and led the two children back home. She walked slowly in the yard with her hands crossed, while bowing her head in thought.

It is almost midsummer now, and there should be no common wild vegetables to dig in the field. As for fishing shrimp and fish in the river, she is not allowed at all in her current situation, so she can only go to the nearby hill to touch it. If you're lucky, you might be able to catch a rabbit or a pheasant for a tooth-fighting festival.

Thinking of this, a smile finally appeared on Lin Guoxiang's face, and the scholar and the two children who stood aside and looked at her without blinking let out a sigh of relief at the same time, especially the scholar, who had witnessed Lin Guoxiang in these days. After being so fierce, she was really afraid that she would impulsively take a big stick and drive her eldest sister's family out of Wangjiacun.

Originally, Xiucai wanted to comfort Lin Guoxiang. No matter how much Song Dongdong went too far, he was still his eldest brother-in-law. After a family relationship, everyone would definitely have frequent visits. If it was too rigid, it would be unattractive to everyone.But now it seems that my daughter-in-law has figured it out. To be precise, she probably didn't take it to heart at all... Xiucai thought with some uncertainty in her heart.

Lin Guoxiang really didn't take the fact that Song Chang and his son ignored her to heart. To be honest, this matter was nothing compared to the problem of filling her stomach. To be precise, she didn't take that matter at all. Treat the best father and son as a dish.

"Zhi'er, you and your brother go get the sickle and the small shovel." Lin Guoxiang said to Wang Yuanzhi and Wang Yuanyue, and then said to the scholar standing next to them, "Go get the basket, and we will go up the mountain later." If In the past, Lin Guoxiang would definitely not be willing to let a scholar help with work, but now Lin Guoxiang will not be reluctant. In her mind, both men and women are equal, you don’t want to be hungry The stomach has to help with the work.The so-called self-sufficient food and clothing, how can we get food if we don't work?
And what Lin Guoxiang dislikes the most is the kind of man who has no power to restrain a chicken, especially when I was a child, a white-faced scholar in a Liao Zhai was so weak that he could be blown away by a gust of wind. I was stimulated, so now she sees Xiucai at home like an old man, waiting for clothes, stretching out his hands to eat, and opening his mouth, she gets angry.Why does she have to work hard to support a large family, but this veritable head of the family can be so leisurely?

Lin Guoxiang felt that she had an obligation to let Xiucai know that even though he was the head of the family, he still had to participate in this great "foraging" activity. The so-called housework was everyone's responsibility.

At first, Xiucai was slightly taken aback when he heard Lin Guoxiang's order, and then walked into the room with a smile on his lips to get the basket.The reason why Lin Guoxiang asked Xiucai to hold the basket was because the baskets at that time were all made of thick wicker, which were heavy and bulky, and even now she found it very difficult to pick them up.Lin Guoxiang just wanted to let him know how his old mother and sister-in-law abused his two precious sons. Such a heavy basket is usually difficult for adults to carry, let alone two children, and it is still full. basket with green grass.

However, Lin Guoxiang's intention was obviously successful. When Xiucai saw the bulky wicker basket, his brows furrowed, and a trace of anger and guilt flashed in his eyes.

So when Lin Guoxiang saw a scholar whose mouth was almost pursed into a line but who still had to put on a calm and relaxed expression on his face, his heart was almost overjoyed. Get angry, growl, get angrier the better.He even thought very unscrupulously whether Xiucai would suffer internal injuries because of this.

Xiucai correctly received Lin Guoxiang's flickering schadenfreude and the smile after a successful trick, and suddenly understood, oh, it turned out that she was tricked by her again.But he couldn't be angry, because before Lin Guoxiang complained to him euphemistically about the abuse of the two children by the old lady and Mrs. Zhang, but at the time he thought it was just a few complaints from her caring for the children, but now it seems that it is him. It's too simple to think.

Are you trying to prove something to me with facts?The scholar glanced at Lin Guoxiang and thought in his heart, it seems that you have succeeded, and I have begun to believe what you said before.

Lin Guoxiang saw that everyone was ready to gather in the yard, so she clapped her hands happily and said with a smile, "Okay, then let's go now."

"Mother, where are we going now?" Wang Yuanzhi first asked, although he was the eldest brother in this family, he didn't inherit the composure of his talented father, on the contrary, he was very skinny, like a little monkey It doesn't stop for almost a second.

"Let's go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables." After Lin Guoxiang finished speaking, she thought of something again, so she winked at the two children and added, "If we're lucky, we might find a rabbit or something. Then there will be meat have eaten."

Wang Yuanzhi and Wang Yuanyue shouted happily when they heard that there was meat to eat, and surrounded Lin Guoxiang with a sickle, chattering that they would eat rabbit legs or something.

Xiucai watched the two children circle around Lin Guoxiang, and couldn't help but chuckled, his heart was full of warmth.

……

"The little bird is leading the way, and the wind is blowing towards us..." This was Lin Guoxiang's first time climbing a mountain, so she forgot everything when she got excited, and even sang this song that was considered very weird in ancient times nursery rhymes.

"Mother, what song are you singing? Why haven't I heard it before?" Wang Yuanzhi raised his face and asked Lin Guoxiang curiously.After listening to it for a long time, he didn't understand what the song meant. Not only the tune was strange, but also the words, and most importantly, he didn't see a bird leading the way in front of them after observing for a long time.

"That's right, mother, why hasn't Yue'er heard this song?" Wang Yuanyue also echoed.

"Uh..." Lin Guoxiang wanted to slap her face right now, and sure enough, people would get carried away when they were happy, and they forgot that this is ancient times, and they sang modern nursery rhymes in front of the ancients. smoke!

Under the curious and knowledge-seeking eyes of Wang Yuanzhi and Wang Yuanyue, Lin Guoxiang had no choice but to bite the bullet and quickly turn the brain cells that were not constantly turning. After thinking for a full second, she finally realized that it was only when the big bad wolf kidnapped Little Red Riding Hood. Smiling, he replied to the two simple children: "I just thought of this song on the spur of the moment. I sang it unintentionally when I was in a good mood to climb the mountain today."

Really just that?The scholar raised his eyebrows, apparently not believing Lin Guoxiang's words.

Lin Guoxiang received Xiucai's obviously disbelieving eyes, and couldn't help but glared at him. She didn't stop until Xiucai was defeated and turned her face to the side, but she didn't see the hair that was exposed when Xiucai turned around. There are only red ears and a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Wang Yuanzhi and Wang Yuanyue Ziren believed in Lin Guoxiang's words very much, so they didn't bother with this issue, but pestered her to teach them this nursery rhyme.

Lin Guoxiang is naturally very happy, it is such an honor to let the ancients learn to sing modern nursery rhymes, haha.
