Chapter 16

It’s better to feed the dog

"I plan to make something up, you've finished your work?"

"Yes." Nie Chong walked closer and saw that there was a red cut in Linzhi's hand. He immediately frowned, "Just tell me such rough work in the future."

Nie Chong’s current idea is that he cannot let his sister-in-law suffer, otherwise where would he find such a good sister-in-law for his elder brother?

Seeing that he was a child, it was already hard enough to go to the field to work, and he didn't dare to use him casually, but now it seems that there is no other way.

Although Nie Chong was young, he was not at all vague when he was working. He took the sickle from Linzhi's hand and cut the things for her in a few bangs, and trimmed them cleanly.

Nie's mother knows how to weave reeds, but Nie Chong has never learned it, so he can only help Linzhi to make the reed poles into thin slices.

It’s not difficult to have tools, it just takes some time. Anyway, there’s nothing to do at night. Nie Chong plans to boil the millet porridge first and then help Linzhi peel the reed poles.

As a result, the water tank was empty.

Lin Zhi remembered that there was something wrong, but before she could speak, Nie Chong had already brought the bucket and skillfully picked it up on his shoulder, "I'll be back if I go."

"I'll do it."

"This is not something you can do with just one trip. Sister-in-law, just wait at home."

After Nie Chong finished speaking, he carried the bucket out quickly. Lin Zhi couldn't help but feel emotion. She originally wanted to help Nie Chong when she got married, but now she seems to have become the one being taken care of.

After a while, Nie Chong brought the water back, and Linzhi quickly put the pot on and boiled the millet porridge.

Fortunately, the Nie family was not far from the well, and the water tank was full in more than half an hour. Seeing that the porridge was not cooked, Nie Chong sat down and started to help Linzhi peel the reed poles.

Seeing that he was so busy, Lin Zhi had nothing to help, she secretly swore that she would reward Nie Chong when she was well-off.

The two of them used the remaining steamed buns and steamed buns at noon to deal with dinner, and Nie Chong remembered something, "I just asked my cousin that the steamed buns were not given by him."

"Who could that be?"

Nie Chong shook his head. Now every household has not much food, and steamed buns are even more expensive. Who would give them for no reason?

"Maybe it's the extra family, I'll ask again if I have the chance." Nie Chong guessed that the villagers felt sorry for them, but he was quite calm. "Sister-in-law, are you going back to the door tomorrow?"

According to local customs, she had to go back to the door on the third day of her marriage. Lin Zhi was about to say that she had no need to go back to the door, but suddenly she remembered that she was too anxious on the day of her wedding and didn't get a few books she had placed in the Lin family.

Linzhi thought Nie Chong was worried that Nie Shujun would not be taken care of, "I will come back as soon as possible."

"I heard that I would bring brown sugar and eggs when I go back to the door. I will go to my aunt to ask for some tomorrow morning." This rule was also what Nie Chongcai heard from others.

"There is no need to be so troublesome." It would be better to feed the dogs to Lin Yong and others.

"It's a must." Nie Shujun can no longer accompany her back. Nie Chong didn't want the Lin family to feel that they had lost their politeness. "Or my sister-in-law thinks that brown sugar and eggs are not enough?"

"Yesterday you should have heard your aunt's words. My family was not good to me. I just took some things and came back soon. I will stay here until your brother wakes up." Lin Zhi saw that he didn't say anything.

He asked again, "Or, don't you want to keep me at home?"

Nie Chong shook his head quickly, his eyes flashing with bright light, "Sister-in-law, this is your home in the future, you can live as long as you want!"

Lin Zhi couldn't help but smile. Although the child could not believe his words, Nie Chong's honesty was touching, "Today, thank you for helping me cut the reeds. When the bean sprouts are planted, we can add vegetables."

"Um!"

After peeling the reed poles, Nie Chong burned a pot of hot water, helped Nie Shujun clean his body, and then placed the dirty clothes he had changed into a wooden basin. He also asked Lin Zhi to put the changed clothes in and wait for tomorrow morning.

Take it to the river and wash it clean.

It’s okay for Nie Chong to do other jobs. Lin Zhi is really not used to others washing her own clothes, but it’s not safe to go to the river to wash things this evening. She can only hide under her bed first and plan to get up early tomorrow.

Nie Chong has to work tomorrow, so he left a kerosene lamp for Linzhi and went to bed early. Linzhi took out the peeled reed poles and prepared to prepare the seedling pot before tomorrow, but it was really not done.

That's so simple.

She fiddled with it for a long time before she could make a crooked round grate. It was a bit ugly, but it was quite solid.

I had never planted bean sprouts before, and Linzhi couldn't guarantee that it would succeed at one time. I first weighed half a pound of fresh soybeans and poured them into a basin. While cleaning, I picked out the beans and bad beans that floated to the water.

After soaking the clean soybeans in clean water, Linzhi also blew the kerosene lamp and lay on the bed.

No dreams all night.

Linzhi thought she would definitely not be able to sleep for so long, but who knew that it was dawn outside when she woke up the next day.

Outside the door, Nie Chong was drying clothes in the yard. In addition to his own and Nie Shujun's, Linzhi's was also inside.

Seeing Nie Chong holding his own close-fitting clothes in his hand, Lin Zhi's face turned red. Fortunately, he didn't boast about Haikou's need to wash his own clothes yesterday.

Just as she was about to pretend that she didn't see it, Nie Chong had already discovered Lin Zhi's arrival, "Sister-in-law, are you awake?"

When he was caught by Lin Zhi, Nie Chong didn't feel embarrassed at all, "Seeing that you are sleeping well, I didn't call you."

When I was at the Lin family before, Lin Zhi was called to work by Zhao Yinhua before dawn. I slept very peacefully at the Nie family these two days, probably because I was tired during the day.

She could only thank Nie Chong, "I'd better wash it myself in the future."

"Sister-in-law, don't take this little thing to heart."

He was going back to the door in the morning, and Nie Chong wanted to help Linzhi go to Wu Chunxia to ask for some return gifts. No matter what the Lin family members are, at least they should not let their sister-in-law suffer grievances. "I don't want my sister-in-law to be scolded for this."

Linzhi could understand Nie Chong's mood, but what he didn't know was that it would be the same whether Linzhi brought the gift back to the sect.

"You have to remember that you are just a child, don't know this rule, and are not ready to go back to the door because your aunt has forgotten it, it's not your business, do you understand?"

It was reported that the Nie family had lost their courtesy when they didn't bring back the ward. However, they had already asked the second house several times a few times the previous day. Wu Chunxia must have been not that easy to talk to, and Lin Zhi himself had some plans.

Nie Chong couldn't help feeling a little depressed when he thought that he had no food at home and had no money to ask for money.

Do my sister-in-law thinks he is useless?

Linzhi thought Nie Chong understood what he meant, so he went to the kitchen with confidence.

The soybeans from yesterday looked almost soaked. Linzhi picked up the soaked beans, wrapped them in clean gauze, and then sprinkled some clean water on them.
