Chapter 11 Your mother is a coward
Jiang Yan nodded and took out three pennies, "See how much salt you can exchange for three pennies. You can also exchange some ginger for making soup. You don't need too much, just enough for this meal."
If there is ginger, this pot of chicken soup will be delicious and fragrant.
Lin Bei went to Xiao Xiaozi's house with three pennies in his pocket, and Lin Feng followed him as soon as he left.
Like his own, Xiaoyouzi's family is located behind the village. Xiaoyouzi's father, Lin Yousheng, was born as an Orion. He also joined the army and fought in the army. Although he came back alive, he was lame in one leg. After that, he could not go into the mountains to hunt. Life at home
As soon as his fortune plummeted, he relied on a few acres of land at home to survive.
Lin Yousheng's house was the best in the neighboring village where they lived. It had four rooms in total. The roof was made of tiles and was large and sturdy. Lin Bei opened the courtyard door and walked in, shouting: "Lin Bei"
Uncle! Aunt Lin, where are you drying vegetables?"
The sun is just right now, and the Lin family and his wife are drying vegetables in the yard. After picking the vegetables from the field, no one is willing to eat them, so they are dried and put in the cellar.
When we can dig out wild vegetables, we eat them first. Sometimes when we dig too many wild vegetables, we wash them and dry them into dried vegetables for storage.
"Xiao Bei Xiaofeng, why are you two here?"
Lin Bei said: "Mom asked me to exchange for some salt and ginger. Uncle Lin, can you exchange some for me?"
When Lin Yousheng heard this, he and his wife Zhang Yanzi looked at each other with ugly expressions. Xiaofeng and Xiaobei came to his house to play on weekdays and they thought it was nothing to give him something to eat and drink. However, Aunt Jiang asked her two sons to exchange things or borrow them from time to time.
Something that makes people very disgusted.
If I hadn't looked at the pitiful children and their family's situation, I wouldn't have agreed every time. Who knew that Aunt Jiang would be fine, just forget about not returning the things, and she would come up with excuses again and again. How could there be such a shameless person in this world?
people!
Lin Yousheng looked helpless, but Zhang Yanzi said with contempt: "Your mother is a coward. There has been drought and little rain in the past few years. In the years of famine, every family has lived frugally and tightened their belts.
, it’s good for her, she gave away all the fields you brothers planted, the grain they harvested, and the money you earned for working, and you go around gossiping about others every day.”
"Every household in the village now has some food reserves. It's not a problem to eat less until the autumn harvest. Your family digs wild vegetables every day and eats them from the beginning of the year to the end. I don't know what she thinks. She doesn't think about you brothers!"
Zhang Yanzi kept scolding, but she signaled Lin Yousheng to go back to the house to get something. If these children weren't well-behaved and sensible, she wouldn't be too lazy to help the crook.
Lin Yousheng handed the salt wrapped in leaves to Lin Feng, and then gave Lin Bei a few pieces of ginger and a large handful of dried vegetables.
Zhang Yanzi saw the handful of dried vegetables and felt her heart bleed when she thought that the old widow would eat the vegetables she had worked so hard to grow.
But when she saw the two skinny and wizened children, she felt extremely distressed. She had always wanted to have more sons, but when she was a child, her mother was biased and her health had long been ruined.
She and Zhang Yousheng had been together for many years before giving birth to Coyotito, and they almost died. She could only have one Coyotito in this life, so she was envious when she saw that Jiang Yan had so many sons and they were all so obedient.
Angry again.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yanzi looked bitter. God is really blind. Such a wicked person deserves not to have a son! Why should she let several children suffer so much with her?
Lin Bei and Lin Feng carefully held the things in their arms. Lin Bei took out three pennies from his pocket and handed them to Lin Yousheng: "Thank you, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin."
"Mom said I would exchange it with copper coins." Lin Bei said happily. Mom always asked them to borrow things, but never returned them. Uncle Lin often gave them food. He always felt guilty and embarrassed.
If it's a copper plate, he won't feel so guilty.
Lin Feng nodded, looking silly, but said in a clear voice seriously: "Mom... is doing very well today!"
The Lin family couple thought they had heard wrongly and were a little overwhelmed with three coins. Even Lin Feng, who was always silent, could praise her mother. Could it be that Aunt Jiang's head was not healed from the bruise she had last time?
"Uncle Lin, let's go back first. Grandma is waiting."
"Yeah, let's go back!"
After the two of them finished speaking, they hurried back. Their mother was making chicken stew at home and they wanted to eat it.
"Xiao Bei Xiaofeng, wait a minute...hey..." Lin Yousheng was confused. The two children had already run away a long way. Aunt Jiang loved taking advantage of people so much, how could she give them money?
He took three copper coins and sighed deeply. He was afraid that a few children had secretly saved them. He kept the money and returned it when he had the opportunity. If Aunt Jiang found out, he didn't know what he would do.
Talk to some kids.
Jiang Yan looked at Lin Bei holding a large handful of dried vegetables and hurriedly took it over: "Why are you running in such a hurry? This head is sweating. Did your uncle give you these dried vegetables?"
"Yeah! My uncle gave it to me." Lin Bei smiled. He always felt that his mother was different now than before.
"Let it sit for a while and then eat it later. Our family is eating chicken today."
Wang Jinhua quickly washed and sliced the ginger, poured it into the pot and stirred it carefully. She looked at the chicken in confusion. She didn't know if it was an illusion. She always felt that there were so many chickens. The pheasant was so small, but it could make such a big one.
Come out of the pot.
"Mom, the chicken soup pot is full. The chicken and mushrooms can only be cooked separately."
Jiang Yan doesn't cook often. When she's busy, she always orders takeout. Although she doesn't know how to cook, she is good at eating. Yuan She can cook some, but since she had her daughter-in-law, she has almost never cooked. Sometimes she
The purpose of cooking is to make good food for yourself.
"Take out the chicken and leave some chicken soup to cook the chicken mushrooms."
There are very few seasonings here, some of the better ones have several kinds, but they only have salt and ginger, which have just been replaced, so don’t even think about soy sauce, chili, etc.
Wang Jinhua hurriedly followed her mother-in-law's instructions, and soon the whole thatched house was filled with the smell of meat.
As soon as Lin Dong and the others came back, they happened to smell the aroma of meat, and their saliva almost flowed out.
Lin Nan even ran directly to the kitchen, his stomach growling several times in cooperation.
The family unconsciously moved closer to the kitchen, raising their heads and inhaling the fragrance in the air.
Several families living nearby walked out of the door to look at whose family had stewed the meat. This was definitely the first time this year that they could eat meat.
They sniffed around and couldn't find out which house it was. Instead, they felt hungry because of the smell. However, most families in the village only eat once a day after the sun goes down, so that they can sleep well after eating.
But the taste was really too tempting for greedy people, and since they hadn't eaten anything for a day, the few families who still had some food left gritted their teeth and went back to heat up the oil in the pot and make some wild vegetables to eat.
"It smells so good..." Xiaodouzi smelled the fragrance obsessively.
Is this what a beautiful cock tastes like?
