fruity fragrance

Chapter 99

It was already late at night when Lin Guoxiang and the others arrived at Linjiacun. Because they were traveling at night, Lin Sijin and the others drove at a slightly slower speed, so they were delayed on the road.

Except for Lin Fangrui, Lin Fangxue, and Lin Fangxi, the three little ones in the Lin family, who had dinner early and rested, the rest of the family gathered together, chatting and waiting, and Mrs. Zhao made a table of good dishes and put them on the table. Going up, Father Lin's nose moved from time to time, taking advantage of people not paying attention, he sniffed the fragrance of vegetables floating in the air, especially the plate of braised pork that was already cold, which made him secretly swallow his saliva.

Father Lin loves to eat meat, everyone in the Lin family knows that, especially in the past few years, as he gets older, his temperament has gradually become a little childish, and he can't tell it usually, but when he encounters him, he likes to eat meat. The fleshy food was immediately revealed.

The daughters-in-law pretended not to notice her father-in-law's tricks, but were thinking about the newly bought orchard in their hearts.

Father Lin and the others said that the younger sister bought the land, but everyone in the family knows how difficult the younger sister’s family is, and they often need their husband and mother to help them. Just like this time when they went back, they also took rice, flour, oil and salt from home. Only then did I finally live my life, and it was unbelievable that I could suddenly afford to buy land under such economic conditions and even bought more than a hundred acres in one go.It's not that they are narrow-minded and like to think people wrong, but this matter is weird inside and out, and they even wonder if the husband and mother love their daughter so they bought a piece of land for her.

But this doesn't make sense. Although the family's orchard income is not bad, but let the two old ones take out 200 taels of silver to buy land at once, and then spend money to hire more than a hundred strong laborers to clean up the land. Shrubs and other miscellaneous trees and weeds, the wages alone will not be less, which is simply impossible to buy land and spend money to hire workers.

So the sisters-in-law are extremely conflicted in their hearts now. They suspect that the husband and mother secretly paid for the land in favor of the daughter, and on the other hand, they feel that it is impossible to take out two 300 taels of silver all at once.

Among them, the most entangled one is Xiao Gu. Her temper is actually the most irritable among the sisters-in-law in the family. Although she is usually calculating, she has no mind. I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep.So after Lin Guoxiang and the others arrived home, she wanted to mention this matter a few times, but when she thought that everyone was exhausted after driving in the middle of the night, who would have the heart to deal with herself?So he resentfully dismissed the idea of ​​asking what happened.

Lin Guoxiang happened to be very tired too, so she didn't notice the faint expressions of some sister-in-laws.

However, the adults were surprised by the energy of the young ones. Mrs. Zhao thought they would not be able to bear it on the road, so she fell asleep in the car, so she made the bed early and waited for the young ones to sleep. They can rest as soon as they come back, and they are more energetic than adults.

It was the first time for Wang Yuanzhi and Wang Yuanyue to take the night train since they grew up. They were so excited that they didn’t feel sleepy at all. They chatted with Lin Fanghou and Lin Fangnian all the way. It’s just that when it’s hot, you can go to the river to touch fish or climb trees to dig out bird’s nests, etc. Lin Guoxiang is so depressed when she listens to it.

She couldn't figure it out, what was there to talk about, and they chatted so excitedly all the way?And when the wheat is harvested, the birds have already hatched, so why are you going up the tree to dig out the bird's nest?You said that you climbed the tree and found the monkey (the larva of the cicada) and came back to fry it and eat it.But don’t think about it if you don’t understand it. You can’t use adult thinking to understand children’s thinking, and you can’t understand it either.

Mrs. Zhao saw that everyone was back, and hurriedly called the daughters-in-law into the pot room to heat up the meals, while the men came in and out to help unload the luggage from the car and move them to the house, just in time when everyone finished their work. It's time for dinner.Everyone drove the road in the middle of the night, and they had to get up to work in the orchard tomorrow, so they went back to rest without talking much after eating.

Wang Yuanzhi and Wang Yuanyue ran away with Lin Fanghou and Lin Fangnian as soon as they lost their jobs. They had agreed on the road that they would live at Lin Fanghou's house today.The little ones are used to living in one room these days, and they may not be used to it if they are separated at first.

Lin Guoxiang originally wanted to help clean up the dishes, but she was kicked out of the pot house by Mrs. Zhao: "You've been traveling all night and you're so tired. You'd better rest early. There are me and you here. Sister-in-law will do."

The sisters-in-law naturally agreed with Mrs. Zhao's words, but Lin Guoxiang couldn't help them and had to go back to her own room.Xiucai still lived in the children's room in the inner room as last time. The two of them rested separately and had nothing to say all night.

But little Gu, who couldn't hide the matter in his heart, woke up Lin Sihuo beside him after returning home, and asked him something about the land: "Master, you said that the newly bought land by our father still grows No fruit trees?"

What else can we grow on the slopes at the foot of the mountain without fruit trees?Lin Sihuo felt that she was looking for something to say. She was already tired enough, but now she was woken up because of such a boring thing, and she couldn't help but feel angry, but it was not bad, so she didn't get angry.

"Well, I heard from my little sister that fruit trees are going to be planted on it." Lin Sihuo replied in a daze, then turned over and continued to sleep.

"Then tell me, little sister, where did she suddenly get so much money to buy the land, and also hired so many workers to help with the land preparation at once?" The question in Xiao Gu's heart could not be so easily let Lin Sihuo find the answer. Sleeping, so he nudged him again and continued to ask.

"I said you're never finished, what are you thinking about when you don't sleep at night?" Lin Sihuo was completely annoyed, and his whole body erupted instantly just like his name. Sitting up straight, she stared at Xiao Gu and reprimanded, "Why did my little girl suddenly have money to buy land? She didn't want to say that we just don't ask. Why are you so obsessed with asking the bottom line? Who can have nothing in mind, you Why are women so persistent?"

Little Gu's head was slumped by Lin Sihuo's training, and he felt aggrieved in his heart, thinking: Am I curious, who stipulates that curiosity can't be asked?Besides, am I doing this not for the sake of you and those three boys, or for the sake of this family?It's fine if you don't appreciate it, and you still scold others so fiercely, thinking that you are the only one with a loud voice!
After Lin Sihuo's training, Xiao Gu was afraid that she would get hotheaded and find trouble with Lin Guoxiang or be used as a gun by the third sister-in-law Gu, so she quickly warned: "I'll tell you, this matter will stop here. , if you let me know that you are going to trouble your little sister again, be careful that I will never end with you!" After saying "gudong", she fell back on the bed, turned over and fell asleep face-out.

At this moment, Xiao Gu was angry and wronged, staring at Lin Sihuo's back with his eyes by the moonlight, wishing he could strangle this dead man to death.But she just imagined it in her mind, after all, she didn't have the courage to put it into action.In the end, he sat on the bed and sulked for a while, then turned over and fell asleep with his back facing Lin Sihuo in a fit of anger.

Compared with the fourth brother's house, the other brothers and sisters-in-law's house is much quieter. We all know that everyone has been tired all night, so we can't hold back any questions in our hearts, and no one wants to get into trouble at this time.

In the morning, the men all went to work in the fields, and the sisters-in-law finished their housework at home and fed the pigs, chickens, ducks, and other poultry and livestock, and they came to continue learning how to make ties with Lin Guoxiang. It was only learned last time. After a little bit of research, she went back, but this time she could learn a little better.

Fang Shi also came with Fan this time, and learned how to play the net with a few aunts.These days, she has been treated by her mother-in-law, Fan Shi. Even her husband, who has not been married for a long time, has made her feel a lot of uncomfortable under Fan Shi's "stimulation".But a person's temperament and temperament are cultivated since childhood, how can he change it all at once?

No, seeing Lin Guoxiang couldn't help but commit the old problem again: "Auntie, I heard that you and uncle paid for the new land that grandpa bought this time?"

As soon as the words fell, the laughing people in the yard immediately stopped their work, and stared at his niece and daughter-in-law Fang with their mouths closed.

Lin Guoxiang frowned slightly imperceptibly, thinking that this niece and daughter-in-law are really not ordinary, every time she messes with it, everyone's originally happy mood deteriorates.It seems that she is not reconciled if she does not offend everyone, and she is always holding on to herself.

Now Fan's wishes to strangle this unscrupulous elder daughter-in-law to death, she has her business everywhere!It was all good, but she had to ask such a question. Although she was quite curious in her heart, this was also a matter between the elders. How could it be her turn to intervene as a junior?I really don't have any rules at all, and I don't know why I fell in love with her at that time. If I knew it earlier, I should have asked more people to inquire about it.

The other sisters-in-law stared at Fang for a while, then turned to Lin Guoxiang tacitly, wondering how she would answer.

Fan was dissatisfied with his daughter-in-law in his heart, but he didn't show any anger on his face. Instead, he secretly observed Lin Guoxiang's reaction and said apologetically, "Your niece and daughter-in-law are still young and ignorant. Don't be as knowledgeable as her, ha ha." In fact, what I think in my heart is to go back and take care of this unpromising elder daughter-in-law.

Fang's heart was a little dissatisfied when she heard her mother-in-law's words, but because of her own status, it was not easy to get angry, but she still betrayed her with her tightly pursed mouth and the flash of dissatisfaction in her eyes from time to time.

Lin Guoxiang also expected that the sisters-in-law would have doubts in their hearts, so she glanced at her niece and daughter-in-law Fang with some embarrassment, and then said: "This is a long story, and I won't be able to explain it clearly in a while. If the sister-in-laws really If you are curious, I will talk to my father and my brothers after dinner at night, and you will also be listening."

Although the sisters-in-law were a little disappointed when they heard Lin Guoxiang's answer, they couldn't hold on to it after everyone said that, but they understood the glance she gave Fang with distrust when she spoke just now. , Such a niece and daughter-in-law really can't be reassured and liked, and it's a bit difficult to treat them as the most trusted family members.

No matter how shrewd Fan Shi is, he naturally knew the meaning of Lin Guoxiang's look. Suddenly, he felt hot on his face, and Fang Shi was even more dissatisfied.
