The Village Doctress Chapter 33: Food and filial piety
Mr. Lin's tone became more serious, "Your grandma and your aunt's affairs are unclear, but I heard that your mother is knowledgeable and has taught you a lot. You should be sensible. I feel uncomfortable knowing that they are arguing like this."
When Lin Fufu heard this, he really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh.
It has come to this point, Mr. Lin still wants to whitewash Wu and Zhao? He also accused her of eating better than her grandparents and other elders by the way, and even giving them rough noodles?
"Grandpa, I only have rough noodles at home. My father hasn't come back yet, and I'm still worried about what to eat when the thick noodles at home are gone." Lin Fufu lowered his head and said worriedly.
Mr. Lin choked, is she saying that she is an orphan girl, and the elders in the family don't care what she means?
Even so, she still kindly sent noodles to the second child's family?
Mr. Lin was wrinkled into a ball by the old Ji Fengding hidden in Lin Gospel's words.
I wanted to leave as soon as I could, but out of the corner of my eye I saw the bitter melon look on Lin Dahe's face, and my heart softened.
This second son has been the most obedient among the three brothers since he was a child, but he didn't give birth to a son and grandson, which made him look down on this second son more and more.
He even looked down on his son, so naturally he looked down on Feng's second daughter-in-law even more.
But now, in order to look good, he touched his pocket, took out a handful of copper coins, frowned, counted out ten coins, and handed them to Lin Dahe: "Take these money, buy some salt or something .In the past few days, you also go out to find some work to do. The profits in the fields assigned to you are all yours. Wait for the summer harvest, and you will have new food."
Lin Dahe immediately accepted it gratefully, nodding his thanks again and again.
Mr. Lin was rarely so kind to him, he almost burst into tears, but it was Feng who secretly tugged him so he didn't lose his composure.
Lin Fufu looked secretly; this Mr. Lin is actually a good man, no wonder the second Lin has been suppressed to support Mr. Lin's family for more than ten years and has no complaints.
Even, in the end, because I have to pay a lot of pension money every month, I don't want to separate the family, and I am willing to be squeezed.
However, he also didn't think about it, could ten coppers support a family until the time of harvesting new grain?
Mr. Lin walked away with his hands behind his back.
Feng Shi scolded Lin Dahe: "Look at your prospects, what can you do with ten big money?"
Lin Dahe said in a muffled voice: "Isn't it because we haven't given dad pension money yet, so dad came to subsidize us first instead?"
Listening to Lin Fufu, he felt that this Lin Dahe was a fool, filial, and hopeless.
If it weren't for the success of his two daughters, the whole family would have been sucked dry by Da Fang and Mr. Lin's old couple for the rest of their lives.
"Gospel, by the way, I have collected a lot of cabbage seeds here, do you want them?" The gospel is coming.
Cabbage?
Could it be cabbage?
Or kale?
"Yes." Ask for it first.
Feng grabbed a handful of cabbage seeds, and gave the rest to Lin Fufu, "I don't have any land to plant now, so you take them back."
Lin Fufu saw that the cabbage seeds weighed one or two catties, so he took out a piece of silver from his purse and handed it to Feng Shi: "Second Aunt, count me as the one to buy, there are quite a lot of these seeds."
"It's impossible!" Feng immediately declined, she never thought about asking Lin Fufu for money, so her face flushed red, feeling very embarrassed.
It's fine if there's only a small handful, but it's two catties of seeds, so she has to pay for it.
When she saw the seeds, she had an idea. Whether it is cabbage or cabbage, this dish is very good for storage.
"Second Aunt, you must take this money. I really use this seed. If I go to the town to buy it, don't I have to spend money?" Lin Fufu persuaded.
Thinking about the difficulties in the future for her family, Feng accepted it, but told Lin Fufu: "Gospel, if the second aunt is not busy, I will go to your house to help you take care of your younger brothers and sisters, you Afen and Afang My sister was brought by myself. I have countless children..."
Lin Fufu nodded, thanked her for her kindness, and left.
Grandma Li took care of the children in the family, so she felt more at ease.
After Lin Fufu went back, she thought about it carefully. Her family actually had land. But not much.
The field is only more than three acres, but the land is about five or six acres.
But obviously her father prefers hunting and neglects production, and the family's fields are all hired to plant.
It doesn't belong to others, so I didn't pay much attention when planting it, but it's better than being abandoned.
As for her mother, the Chu family, in her memory, her mother never went out at all, at most she tended a vegetable garden in the backyard.
Lin Fufu recalled carefully, and knew that his father was fooled when he bought the three-acre field, and that field was not a fertile field at all.
It is so far away from the river that it is very prone to drought. Growing rice often lacks water, so rice cannot grow naturally.
As for that place, it is even more indescribable.
It is all land against the hillside, and the small trees growing beside the ditches are more lush than the crops.
The fertilizer in the field has been absorbed by those small trees, where can we get crops?
In addition, if you hire someone to plant it, you don't know how to ask someone to take care of it afterwards, so it's no wonder it's not a wasteland.
Lin Fufu looked at the cabbage seeds in his hand and made up his mind.
After returning home, she wrote down the plan in her heart in the pamphlet left by her mother.
Grandma Li came in.
"Gospel, I almost forgot, this silver ring was left to you by your mother, right?"
Lin Fufu went over to take a look, and vaguely remembered this silver ring with the word "Fu" engraved on the ring face, wasn't it the one she was holding when she woke up from this body?
"I found this on her bed when I was helping your mother restrain herself. I was afraid that your grandma and aunt would take it away, so I put it away. I just remembered it after being busy these days." Grandma explained.
"Yes, it was my mother who read it for me on her deathbed." Lin Fufu reached out and took it.
Grandma Li said: "Then you keep it well and don't leave it lying around. I'm going to pick up the baby and go to breastfeed."
Lin Fufu nodded. After Grandma Li left, she looked through the silver ring carefully. It looked ordinary.
But at that time, Mrs. Chu had a small golden hairpin on her head, a rare jade pendant with a good water head on her ear, and a heavy gold bracelet on her left wrist. Why did she give her such an ordinary silver ring? ?
