Lin Xiaoman looked at Xu Qiuliang with an aunt's smile on his face as he ran back into the house and took out a bowl and a spoon. He also carried a bunch of steamed sausages in his hand, "I'll trade the sausages with Miss Lin."

Lin Dajiao wanted to refuse, but Lin Xiaoman stepped on her instep. Lin Dajiao's refusal turned into, "Okay!"

Lin Dajiao poured half a bowl of food for Xu Qiuliang and took the sausage brought by Xu Qiuliang. Looking at the shy looks of both of them, someone who didn't know better thought they were exchanging tokens.

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu stopped waiting for Lin Dajiao and walked back quickly, as if they were afraid of being overtaken by Lin Dajiao.

When they got home, the siblings looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

Lin Erhu finished laughing and asked: "Sister, am I going to have a master's wife?"

Lin Xiaoman nodded, "From now on, I'll take care of you, my wife, and learn all the knowledge that your teacher keeps to himself."

"Yeah, I can!"

In the next few days, villagers would come back from hunting some prey from the mountains from time to time. The smell of meat was always wafting in the east and west of the village. For a while, people in Hedong Village loved to run to the mountains when they had nothing to do.

Lin Dajiao went up the mountain to catch two rabbits and asked Lin Xiaoman to teach her how to make spicy rabbits. She gave a large bowl to Xu Qiuliang. Xu Qiuliang happily ate them with a small drink and kept praising Lin Dajiao in front of Lin Erhu.

Virtuous girl.

Lin Erhu got tired of hearing this and persuaded him to drink a few more drinks. After Xu Qiuliang fell asleep from the drunkenness, he picked up the book and studied on his own again.

There are already wild vegetables on the market over there. Lin Xiaoman has seen many of them on the mountain, but he doesn’t know that they can still be eaten, especially the first kind of wild vegetables called thorn sprouts, which are sold here.

, she didn’t even know this could be eaten.

Lin Xiaoman deliberately bought some of each and brought them back to show to the villagers, but the temperature difference between the two sides was more than ten degrees, and many wild vegetables over there were harvested from greenhouses. Lin Xiaoman thought that he would wait for the wild vegetables from the mountains here to come down.

, the wild vegetables over there are probably worthless, which is really a headache.

Qingshu came to the village to find Lin Xiaoman with ingredients and wanted her to help cook some dishes.

It is said that Lu Jin has been busy preparing for spring plowing recently and has no time to come to Hedong Village. The food he eats is not to his liking, and he has lost a lot of weight.

Lin Xiaoman looked at the ingredients he brought, and when they were ready, they brought them back and reheated them before eating them. She happened to want to go to Huaihua Hutong to see the current situation of Boss Lin's family, so she asked Qingshu to take the dishes back.

, she went back to the house to get a cloth bag, and went to the county town in the carriage that brought food.

Lu Jin would not come back until evening. It was not yet noon, so Lin Xiaoman and Qingshu said something and went out.

Huaihua Hutong is not far from the county government office, less than half an hour's walk.

When Lin Xiaoman arrived, she saw Mrs. Yao pouring tea in front of the door, and Lin Goudan sitting on the steps behind her, playing with a few stones.

Lin Xiaoman shouted: "Goudan!"

Lin Goudan heard the words and looked over. When he saw it was Lin Xiaoman, he dropped the stones in his hands and ran over, "Second sister, second sister, why are you here?"

She jumped into Lin Xiaoman's arms, which shocked Lin Xiaoman. When did Lin Goudan become more enthusiastic when he saw her than when he saw his own mother?

Lin Goudan stuffed a piece of unpackaged fruit candy he brought over into Lin Goudan's mouth, which made the little guy's eyes brighten with sweetness, and he slurred his words: "It's delicious, second sister, it's so delicious."

”

Lin Xiaoman touched the top of his head and stuffed another bag of candy into his hand, "Keep it for yourself and eat it slowly."

"Second sister, you are so kind!" Lin Goudan's eyes were filled with the joy of eating candy.

Mrs. Yao saw Lin Xiaoman smiling at her and saying, "Xiaoman, please go inside and sit for a while. The aunt will go in and talk to you after she sells the tea."

Lin Xiaoman smiled and said, "Auntie, you are busy, I just came over to take a look."

Hearing what Lin Xiaoman said, the corners of Yao's mouth flattened, as if he had endless grievances but could not express them.

The courtyard that Mr. Lin and his family rent is not big, with only three rooms. Mr. Lin and his wife live in one room with Lin Goudan, the two unmarried daughters live in the big room, and one room is reserved for Lin Wenyao to live in when he comes back.

Lin Xiaoman entered the courtyard and saw her two cousins ​​embroidering in the house. They learned embroidery from her mother, but they only learned a little bit about it, and the things they embroidered can only be said to be readable.

Seeing Lin Xiaoman come in, the two cousins ​​stood up a little cautiously, "Second sister."

Lin Xiaoman nodded towards them. They had been his followers since they were young, and even the married eldest cousin was cautious in front of her.

But since her parents died, the eldest family's arrogance became more and more arrogant. Perhaps seeing Mrs. Lin's displeasure with their siblings, their eldest family's attitude towards their siblings also changed accordingly, that is, Lin Goudan

I still like to follow Lin Erhu and call him second brother as before.

Lin Xiaoman only had the best impression of Dafang's family, Lin Goudan. Seeing Lin Xiaoman's cold attitude towards his two sisters, Lin Goudan took Lin Xiaoman's hand and said, "Second sister, let's go into the house.

Go."

Lin Xiaoman touched his head happily and was pulled into the house by him.

The house is not big, and it is not difficult to sleep three people with a Kang bed.

The two cousins ​​stood in the yard for a while and then came in. One poured water for Lin Xiaoman and the other got melon seeds for Lin Xiaoman. They were quite discerning.

Lin Xiaoman had a much better impression of the two of them. When he saw them putting the embroidery frame on the table, he knew that they wanted to do embroidery work for sale.

But the embroidery skills are really bad. After they are sold out, apart from the money for embroidering cloth and embroidery thread, I can't make a few cents.

"Do you want to make money by doing crafts?"

"I think!" Seeing the two of them nodding, Lin Xiaoman smiled, took out the cloth bag he brought from home, opened it, and took out some rags and a large bag of small pearls bought by the pound from there, as well as a few

The drawing she made with charcoal strips.

"If you are not good at embroidery, you might as well follow me in making beads. As long as you do well, just send it to Feng Ji Rouge Shop to shopkeeper Feng."

The two sisters have never seen beads, but they recognize real pearls. When the third uncle's daughter turned one year old the year before last, the third aunt put two beads on her head. They were envious of them, but their parents couldn't afford them.

, I can only watch.

I didn’t expect that Lin Xiaoman would get a big bag of pearls at the first move. How much does it cost?

Seeing that they couldn't roll their eyes, Lin Xiaoman said: "I bought these pearls from the Nanyang merchants at the dock. This pack contains a total of twenty taels of silver. If you want to do something, I will lend you these first."

, just wait until you make money and then pay it back to me."

"Two taels of silver?" The sisters were startled and retracted their outstretched hands. They didn't have two taels of silver, so they didn't dare to touch such a precious thing.

Lin Xiaoman didn't try to persuade her, she just put the cloth bag away again. When she saw her two cousins ​​standing nearby, always looking like they had something to say, she felt a little funny knowing that they actually wanted to do it, but were worried about being cheated.Chapter completed!
