Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

"Okay!"

Lin Zhaodi didn't bother to be polite with her. In her opinion, as long as Lin Xiaoyue could get out of bed, it was not a big deal. Country people didn't have so many requirements for being poor. They were not like the young ladies in the city who were always whining and complaining about their delicate bodies and looking frail all day long.

What's more, Lin Xiaoyue has been incredibly strong since she was young. The stone mill that even adults find difficult to pull is as easy as playing in her hands.

Lin Zhaodi started working before dawn without eating anything. She carried water back and forth several times and was so tired that her back and waist ached. When the family strongman Lin Xiaoyue took over, she quickly stretched her arms that were so sore that she could hardly lift them. Finally, she felt much better.

While the two little sisters were chatting, Lin's mother came out of the master bedroom with an empty bowl.

Seeing the two girls chatting in the yard, he quickly asked them to wash themselves, and woke up Xiaosi and Xiaowu to have breakfast.

"Okay, mother!"

Lin Xiaoyue responded to her mother with a smile, and kept carrying the two wooden barrels that had just been emptied to the corner door and putting them away.

It was very easy for Lin Xiaoyue to call Lin's mother "Lin's mother". This was thanks to the fact that after being yelled at by Lin's father that day, Lin Zhaodi was worried that Baozi's mother would be scolded by Lin's father again, so she simply asked Lin's mother and the two little kids to move out of Lin's father's room and temporarily move them to the side to squeeze in with her and her two sisters before Lin's father calmed down.

They lived together for more than ten days. In addition to boiling medicine every day and delivering meals to Lin's father in the morning and evening (rural people basically have two meals a day, and those with better financial conditions or during busy farming seasons only have three meals a day), Lin's mother spent the rest of her time with the two little kids in bed taking care of Lin Xiaoyue. That's it. They saw each other every day, and naturally became familiar with each other after a long time.

In her previous life, she had never enjoyed maternal love and family affection. In this life, God opened his eyes and made up for her regrets. Besides, in addition to making steamed buns, Lin's mother's concern for the children was genuine and genuine. The thoughtful and caring care warmed Lin Xiaoyue's cold heart.

At the same time, she also felt sorry for this woman who was emaciated by life, so she soon regarded herself, a "foreign import", as Lin's mother's real daughter.

The ten days of getting along can be said to be very pleasant and relaxing. In addition to feeling the warm maternal love of Lin's mother, the two little kids are also very smart and cute, and often make Lin Xiaoyue laugh.

Lin Xiaoyue was also happy to tell the two little kids stories from One Thousand and One Nights before going to bed every night, which made the two little guys like and rely on their third sister even more.

At first, Lin's mother and the second daughter Lin Zhaodi were surprised that Lin Xiaoyue suddenly became smart and could tell stories. Lin Xiaoyue thought that it would be convenient for her in the future, so she made up a ridiculous excuse to try to fool them.

"That day, after my uncle hit my head, I felt myself floating up uncontrollably. I kept floating up for a long time, and then I saw an old man with a white beard riding a crane. He said that I had done good deeds in my previous life and should not have died so young in this life, but because of the mischief of a villain, my life span was shortened. Then the old man waved the whisk in his hand and took me to a place that looked like a fairyland. He taught me many things, and then waved the whisk again and sent me back!"

There was a sudden and huge change, so she had to have a reasonable excuse.

After repeatedly pondering the rigid thinking patterns of the indigenous people of that era, Lin Xiaoyue chose to weave a white lie.

"Could that old man with white beard be a god?" Lin's mother excitedly knelt on the ground immediately, put her hands together, and bowed devoutly to the void again and again, muttering to herself.

Lin Zhaodi and Xiaosi and Xiaowu all opened their mouths in surprise.

"Shh~!"

Lin Xiaoyue put her finger to her lips, made a silent gesture, and put on a mysterious expression, "Grandpa didn't let me say it, but mother, second sister and younger sisters are the people closest to me, so I said it."

"Hey, hey, we can't say it, we can't say it. From now on, no one will tell anyone, otherwise the gods will be unhappy if they know." When Lin's mother heard what the gods said about not letting Lin Xiaoyue speak, she immediately covered her mouth and solemnly told the children around her not to tell this to anyone.

"Well, no, we won't even tell Dad, otherwise if Grandma asks him, he will definitely tell everything to the people over there!"

The second sister Lin Zhaodi added with deep approval.

"Well! We won't tell Dad either!"

The two little rascals nodded in agreement.

I didn't expect that a story full of loopholes that I made up would miraculously be accepted by everyone.

Haha, thanks to the ancients’ superstition and their firm belief in the existence of gods, Lin Xiaoyue was able to get away with it successfully.

Thank goodness for Ami Tofu.

……

Thoughts came back.

Lin Xiaoyue followed her mother's instructions and went into the house to wake up Xiaosi and Xiaowu.

But as soon as I entered the room, I saw the two little kids had sat up, rubbing their eyes in a daze, but their brains were not yet clear and they were still in a state of confusion.

If this happened in modern times, not to mention five-year-olds like Xiaosi and Xiaowu, even children in their teens have the habit of staying in bed.

After sleeping together for more than ten days, Lin Xiaoyue found that the two little kids were really well-behaved. They would basically wake up on their own before dawn and basically didn't need anyone to wake them up.

This was a habit that he developed over time because he was scolded by Old Lady Lin every day while working before the family split up.

Yes, Old Mrs. Lin did not even let go of a three-year-old baby. In short, every one of the three rooms served as free labor for the family.

Don't think that a three-year-old can't do anything.

At that time, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu were driven to the foot of the mountain every day to collect firewood and cut grass for pigs. After returning to the old house, they had to feed the chickens and ducks.

Therefore, children from poor families have to grow up early because they are oppressed by life.

The weather in April was still a little chilly both in the morning and at night. Lin Xiaoyue was worried that the two little kids would catch a cold, so she quickly grabbed some clothes to put on them.

"Three sisters."

Because they had just woken up, the two babies still had a strong milky smell.

"Be good, put on your clothes quickly, don't catch a cold." Lin Xiaoyue's heart was melted by the cuteness of the two little kids.

After kissing them one by one, she kept busy helping the two little ones put on their clothes. After they put on their shoes, the second sister Lin Zhaodi also came in with hot water to wash the two little ones.

……

After Lin's mother put breakfast and dishes on the table, Lin Xiaoyue and Lin Zhaodi each led a little kid into the main room.

Lin's mother sat at the table. The seat originally occupied by Lin's father was vacant, so Lin Zhaodi sat there without any hesitation. Xiao Si and Xiao Wu also let go of Lin Xiaoyue's hands and occupied the other side. Lin Xiaoyue had no choice but to sit on the remaining side.

I glanced at the table and was like, oh my god!

Lin Xiaoyue was speechless.
