A small peasant girl's home is bare, but I have a spiritual space

Chapter 22 The Lin family transports rice to town

At dawn the next day, Lin Yiran was awakened by the sound of knocking on the door.

"Who is it? Can't I sleep? It's so annoying, so annoying..." Lin Yiran muttered, preparing to turn over and continue sleeping.

"My little sister is so grumpy when she wakes up," Third Brother Lin shook his head helplessly.

"Xiao Ran'er, it's time to get up. We have to leave for town early today. If you want to sleep, you can come back in the afternoon and sleep later, okay?" Third Brother Lin comforted Lin Yiran in a soft voice.

Lin Yiran's confused mind suddenly became clear.

"Yes, I was so sleepy that I almost forgot something so important." She raised her hand to rub her dry eyes and sat up with a somersault.

"Brother San, please wait a moment. I'll be there soon." Lin Yiran quickly put on his clothes, shoes and socks, jumped off the bed, walked quickly to the door, unbolted it, and opened the door from the inside.

When Brother Lin San entered the room, he saw the little sister with a messy hair and a deep shadow under her eyes.

My little sister is seriously sleep deprived! She has been so hard-working these past few days. Brother Lin caressed his sister's messy hair with concern.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Brother Lin said hesitantly.

"No, we're late. If we run into the villagers and see us pulling a cart of food, it will be hard to explain."

"Pull...a cart of grain?" Third Brother Lin was so surprised that he almost jumped up.

"Yes, Third Brother, look at these sacks on the ground, aren't they enough to fill a truck?" Lin Yiran said, pointing at the sacks on the ground.

Third Brother Lin looked in the direction of Lin Yiran's finger, and saw dozens of sacks lying in disorder on the floor of Little Sister's room. Third Brother Lin's face was full of surprise, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was slightly open, and he looked very surprised.

He walked slowly into the house, gently touching the bags of rice, not daring to blink, for fear that the bags would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Lin Yiran couldn't help laughing at the look of Lin Sange.

"Xiao Ran'er, your master is really generous! He is really willing to spend money." Third Brother Lin untied the knot at the mouth of one of the sacks.

I reached out and grabbed a handful of rice, placed it in my palm and examined it carefully. It was the same rice that my younger sister's master had given her last time.

The grains are full and uniform, crystal clear, and jade-colored, which is completely comparable to the quality of tribute rice.

"Xiao Ran'er, your master has given us so much rice. What do you need to do for him? How do you get the merit points?

Is it difficult? If it is, forget it, we will just return the rice to your master. "

Lin Yiran saw that although there was enthusiasm and excitement in his third brother's eyes when he saw the rice, there was no greed. He was also worried that he would pay an unnecessary price for the rice.

She was deeply touched. Through her contact with the Lin family over the past few days, her heart was filled with regret. Their character was beyond doubt.

Although everyone has some character flaws, they can all distinguish right from wrong when it comes to major issues, and the whole family treats her like the apple of their eye.

This is one of the reasons why she is willing to treat the Lin family as real family. Another reason is that their values ​​are consistent with hers. As a member of the Lin family, she doesn't want to give them political education lessons every day.

"Don't worry, third brother, it's not that serious. The master just wanted me to study medicine well. He also gave me several medical books." Lin Yiran thought of the Compendium of Materia Medica and Xiyuan Ji Lu under the pillow, and his eyes became more determined.

She had already made sufficient preparations and was not afraid that her family would not believe her.

Looking into my sister's clear eyes, there was no trace of lying.

Only then did Third Brother Lin feel relieved.

"Then there is no time to lose. Brother San, move these sacks into the car now."

When Lin's father and mother heard the noise, they opened the door and walked over.

Seeing how calm and composed Lin's father was, Lin was still sure that Lin's mother had already told him about the rice.

"Why didn't you two call us? When will you two move so much rice?" Lin's mother had already seen the pile of sacks inside through the open door.

"Mom and Dad are okay. We've grown up and still have the strength to move these bags of rice. So many things happened yesterday, so we just want you and Dad to have a good rest." Lin Yiran looked at his father and mother with a distressed look on her face.

Third Brother Lin also agreed, "Yes! That's why I didn't wake you up, but I didn't expect that I would wake you up anyway."

Lin's father and mother were very pleased to see that the two children were so considerate and sensible.

Mother Lin waved her hands, looking disapproving, "Your father and I are old and sleep less, so we are not as good as you young people. We are usually awake at this time."

Father Lin saw that they were chattering non-stop, so he coughed lightly and said anxiously, "Well, let's move the sacks into the car first."

"Dad, you were seriously injured yesterday, so I don't need your help."

When Father Lin heard that the third boy didn't have to carry the rice by himself, he immediately became anxious and said with glaring eyes: "You little bastard, don't you know what your father's health is like? Am I the kind of person who tries to show off?" As if to prove that he was in good health, Father Lin jumped a few times on the spot.

Lin Yiran knew that the old man was very stubborn and it would be impossible to stop him from moving.

She was not worried about Father Lin's injury. After drinking a large bowl of spiritual spring water yesterday, his body must have recovered long ago.

But Third Brother Lin didn't know! He was afraid that something bad would happen to the old man, but he also knew that he couldn't stop him. He secretly thought that he had to move faster and move as many bags as possible.

The few of them stopped talking and started loading bags onto the car. Later on, Lin Yiran discovered that Third Brother Lin and Father Lin were like they were competing.

Each one moved more and faster than the last, and in the end, neither Lin Yiran nor her mother could help.

The mother and daughter looked at the scene of their father and son fighting over the sack, and shook their heads and laughed.

Are these two people crazy about working?

The two of them managed to squeeze 3000 kilograms of rice onto the cart.

Looking at the sacks stacked high, Lin was speechless. It would be easy for the sacks to tip over if they were stacked so high.

Lin's mother obviously also discovered this problem.

I couldn't help but say: "It's stacked so high, not to mention whether it can be pulled, even if it can be pulled, it's easy to tip over.

You two have both done farm work, you should have some common sense!"

After Lin's mother's earnest words, both of them felt embarrassed.

The father and son were so busy grabbing the sack that they completely ignored the question of whether they could pull it away successfully.

The two men looked at each other, looking at the sacks stacked up almost two people high, and could only helplessly become porters again.

He unloaded half of the sack and tried to push it. He felt that he could do it.

This height is just right so as not to block the view, and Third Brother Lin nodded to Father Lin.

Father Lin understood and used the hemp rope he had prepared earlier to securely fasten the sack and the cart together.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Mother Lin rolled her eyes at the two of them and handed the handkerchief away. Father Lin was embarrassed by his wife's eye-rolling.

Hehe, grinning foolishly, took the handkerchief and wiped his sweaty forehead and neck.

Brother Lin San couldn't bear to see his father being so useless.

He is undoubtedly a typical wife slave.

While the father and son were unloading the sacks, Lin Yiran went to the kitchen and poured two bowls of spiritual spring water.

The two of them had just been busy for a while and were already exhausted and thirsty.

Seeing the two bowls of water that Lin Yiran brought, their eyes were filled with desire. Seeing them standing there motionless, Lin Yiran angrily stuffed the bowls into their hands, "What are you standing there for? Drink quickly, aren't you thirsty?"

"Hehe, Xiaoran still cares about me." Third brother Lin drank a large bowl of water in a few gulps.

Father Lin was also very happy to drink the water handed to him by his daughter. His daughter was so thoughtful that she added sugar to the water.

After drinking it, I felt warm all over. Not only did the tiredness in my body disappear, but I also felt full of energy. I felt like I had endless energy.

Seeing that they drank so quickly, Lin Yiran was afraid that they would be thirsty on the road, so he went to the kitchen to get bamboo tubes, filled three tubes with well water, covered the lids and put them in the small cloth bag he carried with him.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, Lin's mother hurriedly urged them to leave. "It's getting late, let's get going."

Father Lin was worried, so he asked Mother Lin to look after the house, and then he followed the siblings to the town.

The loess road was bumpy and difficult to walk on after being rolled over by the wheels. Fortunately, the sack was tied tightly. Otherwise, I don't know how many times it would have been shaken off.

Along the way, Lin's father and Lin's third brother took turns pushing the cart. Originally, Lin Yiran also wanted to try it, but was firmly rejected by Lin's father.

Finally, we arrived at Qingyun Town safely after an hour. We were lucky not to run into any villagers along the way, otherwise it would be hard to explain.

Third Brother Lin pushed the cart into a small alley with familiarity and asked Father Lin and Lin Yiran to watch the cart.

He walked deeper into the alley, came to the door of the innermost house, and knocked gently.

"Who is it?" An impatient young man's voice came from inside, accompanied by the sound of footsteps approaching from afar.

"Liu Yun, it's me, Lin Rui. I have something urgent to talk to you about. Open the door quickly." Third Brother Lin shouted anxiously.

"It's you, kid!" With a creaking sound, the door opened from the inside. A handsome boy with delicate features walked out, estimated to be about 175cm tall.

Apart from being a little dark and thin, he looks very smart.

Lin Yiran understood that the man in front of him was the rice seller that his third brother had found for him.

Third brother has a very good eye. This man looks smart and should be able to complete the task assigned to him successfully.

"Liu Yun, I need your help now. Let's go in and talk in detail. Don't worry, I won't let you help in vain."

Third Brother Lin pulled the confused Liu Yun back to the courtyard, and the door was slammed shut.

Father Lin saw the two of them go back and whispered to Lin Yiran: "Ran'er, is this the person your brother hired? Why does he look like him?

Is this person reliable? " Lin's father has not changed his old ideas. He always believes that people should be down-to-earth and honest.

"Dad, I think it's okay. If we find someone who is too honest to act as a stooge, I'm sure Manager Cheng will trick us into revealing his secrets in no time.

Manager Cheng is such a shrewd person! It's not easy to hide things from him."

Father Lin also met the shopkeeper Cheng. Although they didn't talk much, he looked smart and capable, so it would not be easy to hide things from him.

Seeing that Father Lin stopped talking, it was obvious that he had figured it out.

Fortunately, Mr. Lin is not that stubborn old man, otherwise I really don’t know how many brain cells I would have to spend to convince him!

The wooden door creaked open again, and Third Brother Lin and Liu Yun walked out.

Liu Yun had already changed into a set of short clothes suitable for work.

Several people acted separately. Liu Yun pushed the cart and walked in front, for fear of encountering Manager Cheng's people on the road and arousing suspicion. The three members of the Lin family followed the cart from a distance, went out of the alley, and walked towards the market.

Like Third Brother Lin, Liu Yun also often sells small items.

Although I didn’t make much money, I knew a lot of people.

When crossing the market streets, the three members of the Lin family consciously kept a greater distance from Liu Yun.

Along the way, some people greeted Liu Yun, and some greeted Third Brother Lin.

Liu Yun walked to a place where there were less stalls and parked the cart in a corner.

This is the end of the street, and usually few people pass by here.

In fact, it doesn’t matter where the cart is placed, since it is not really used to make money. It is just for show.

Liu Yun greeted an old man selling vegetables.

"Uncle Li, are you setting up the stall so early today?"

"Alas, there's nothing we can do. Our family doesn't have any big source of income. Your aunt... has contracted... typhoid fever again, and we haven't even gathered enough money to buy medicine for her." The old man burst into tears at the end of his speech.

Liu Yun sighed and said: "I was raised by my aunt. My family was poor when I was young and I often didn't have enough to eat.

My aunt has given me a lot of food, so I have 60 coins here, which is not much, but it is enough to buy two doses of medicine."

Liu Yun took out a copper coin from his sleeve and handed it to Old Man Li.

"Xiao Yun, this is not appropriate. How can I take your money? Your family is not rich, and you must have saved this money for a long time." Old man Li refused to accept it.

"Nothing is more important than treating my aunt. If you delay for a day, the condition will get worse.

If you lose money, you can earn it again. Just think of it as a loan from me. Uncle Li can pay me back when he has money in the future."

The old man reluctantly accepted it.

"Xiao Yun, good boy, Uncle Li thanks you. I will pay you back as soon as I have money. I will go get the medicine now. You can take these vegetables back and eat them." Old man Li pointed to the vegetables on the stall.

"Uncle Li, I..." Before Liu Yun could finish his words, old man Li glared at him.

The look in his eyes seemed to say, if you don't want it, you look down on me. Liu Yun knew he couldn't refuse, so he readily accepted it.

"Thank you, Uncle Li."

When Old Man Li saw Liu Yun accept the dish, his eyes narrowed into slits with joy, "Don't be polite, good boy. Uncle Li will go get the medicine first."

"Okay, Uncle Li, help Aunt Li get well soon," Liu Yun waved goodbye to Old Man Li.

Father Lin looked at the scene in front of him and felt that Liu Yun was a kind-hearted child. He had just thought that this child was unreliable.

I have to admit in my heart that I sometimes make mistakes.

Lin Yiran has been observing Liu Yun all the time. If her family's business is successful in the future, it will definitely not be possible with just a few people from their family.

Liu Yun seems to be doing well at the moment. Let’s wait and see how he performs on the spot.
