The poor little girl who traveled through the book, her father was lazy, her mother was stingy, and

After Dacheng and Dayong finished making the dough, Lin Xiaoman retired.

Shopkeeper Tong saw the Lin father and daughter out with a smile, and gave them repeated instructions before they left.

"Miss Xiaoman, if you have new dishes in the future, the price can be negotiated!"

Lin Xiaoman nodded repeatedly to assure them, and only then did Manager Tong let them go.

It rained yesterday and the sun was shining brightly this morning, but unfortunately the road was still muddy.

Halfway through the journey, the wind started to pick up.

The father and daughter quickened their pace and hurried home.

There are green rice fields on both sides of the road, and the tender leaves sway in the wind.

There were few people on the road, probably because it was about to rain.

Facing the wind and enduring the heat, Lin Dajiang asked Lin Xiaoman to empty the backpack and put it on his back.

Not long after, raindrops as big as beans fell from the sky. Lin Dajiang took out the tattered oilcloth from his backpack and covered the two of them with it.

Especially the white flour in the backpack, which is protected very carefully.

After walking for about an incense stick of time, the two men saw a large rock at the entrance of Shanglin Village. They did not dare to stop and walked towards the end of the village.

"Jingzhe, your father and Xiaoman are back."

Before entering the door, Lin Xiaoman heard Li Taohua's call and felt relieved.

I was so tired, but the ancient version of bus No. 11 finally arrived at the terminal.

My trouser legs were all covered in mud, it was cold and sticky, it was disgusting.

When Lin Jingzhe heard Li Taohua's call, he rushed out of the door and took the backpacks from the two people in the rain.

He quickly filled a basin with hot water and wrung out the towel.

Urged: "Xiaoman, wipe it with hot water quickly, don't catch a cold."

Lin Xiaoman wiped off the stain and changed her clothes.

After leaving the room, Li Taohua gave him a big bowl of ginger soup.

"Ask your father to buy a piece of cloth to make some clothes for you guys to change into." Li Taohua muttered a few words, watched Lin Xiaoman drink the ginger soup, and went back to the kitchen.

The rain is getting heavier.

Accompanied by rumbling thunder.

There's no land to go to when it rains, and there's no way to catch long-bearded worms in the river when there's lightning and thunder.

Lin Dajiang felt a little melancholy.

He had just boasted in front of Xiaoman that he would make more money, but he couldn't do anything on the first day.

Lin Jingzhe went to the next door in the rain to see the rabbits, and came back worried.

"Dad, the rabbit nest must be built as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, there will be nowhere to put the next litter of rabbits."

Li Taohua is a diligent person. She has already started cutting fabric for several children's clothes.

It’s a bit bigger than previous clothes and can be worn next year or the year after.

When he heard his son was going to build a rabbit hutch, he asked casually, "Are you really planning to raise rabbits?"

Lin Jingzhe glanced at Lin Dajiang. This was something he had discussed with his father before.

A fat rabbit costs one hundred and twenty cents!

Selling three rabbits can buy a piece of cloth.

Besides, the family had little land, and the harvest from one acre was not enough for their own food, and they had to give one tael of silver and a stone of rice to their grandparents.

Now, he and his father are both men in the family, and they should step forward and share the burden with their father.

"Of course!" Lin Jingzhe was full of confidence. He felt that raising rabbits could be successful.

When the weather cleared up, they built a nest and asked Xiaoman to go to the mountains again.

With good luck, you can catch a few more stupid rabbits.

Hey!

When Lin Xiaoman saw Lin Jingzhe's silly smile with longing on his face, he knew that this kid must be daydreaming.

Young people are always full of vigor and vitality.

Let him.

"It's up to you, but get it in the corner of the backyard and don't stinky me."

As Li Taohua spoke, she kept scissors in her hand, and the cloth she cut was neat and tidy.

She focused on Lin Jingzhe and Lin Xiaoman first.

There is less fabric for Guyu and Lidong, but we can make up for it if it is missing.

"Ah ah ah."

Lidong's voice was heard from the house. Lin Dajiang stood up, went into the house and took the baby out.

Standing under the eaves, Lidong clapped his hands, looked at the rain outside, and wanted to go out.

"You're indeed a boy. You want to play in the water at such a young age." Lin Dajiang slapped Lidong's butt, and Lidong farted to express his protest.

Li Taohua and Lin Xiaoman both laughed unkindly.

Lidong opened his dark eyes and looked left and right.

When he saw the scissors on the table, he wanted to play with them again.

Lin Xiaoman sat on a small stool, holding Xiao Guyu.

There's a ticking and thundering sound outside.

There was babbling and laughter inside.

Listening to the rain falling, this is probably what I am talking about at this moment.

—

"Boss, what kind of business do you think we should do?" Wang Chunxiu sat at the door of the house, sighing to Lin Dahai.

Lin Dahai shook his head dumbly, "Business is not that easy to do, do you have the capital?"

"The one ounce of silver that was given when the family was divided was all kept."

Lin Dahai thought for a moment, "What if I lose money? I have at least one tael of silver, but if I lose it, I'll have nothing."

"Why don't we raise some chickens and sell their eggs for money?"

"We have to feed the chickens with food, and we don't even have enough food for ourselves..."

......

Lin Xiaoxue, who had suffered a serious illness, has been feeling upset and depressed recently.

She felt empty inside and always felt like she had lost something very important.

Hearing my parents saying this and that are not allowed makes me even more annoyed.

For some reason, she always felt that making money should not be so timid.

But she has never done business, why did she come up with such an idea?

Lin Dongzhi, with his hands full of mud, ran in from outside. As he passed by Lin Xiaoxue, the mud accidentally splashed onto Lin Xiaoxue's clothes.

"Winter Solstice!" Lin Xiaoxue stood up suddenly, "What's wrong with you? Can't you walk properly?"

This was her only peach pink dress, and it was so washed that the original pink color was almost unrecognizable.

But when she saw the surprised expressions of her parents and Dongzhi, she suddenly felt strange.

Why do I react this way?

In the past, Dongzhi had often soiled her clothes.

"Dad, Mom, I..." Lin Xiaoxue herself was a little confused and didn't know how to explain.

Wang Chunxiu glared at Dongzhi and said, "You play in the mud on a rainy day and bring the mud into the house. You deserve to be punished, you little brat."

As he said this, he was about to hit someone with a broom.

Lin Dahai grabbed him and said, "Dongzhi is still young."

"Not young anymore, he's six years old. If the family had money, he should be sent to school for education."

Lin Dahai's eyes darkened and he let go of his hand. "Ah, it's all my fault for not being able to do it."

Wang Chunxiu was furious. "You are incompetent. You worry about losing money when doing business and wasting food when raising chickens and ducks. It takes effort to take a shit. Why don't you say that you shouldn't take a shit?"

"Dad, everything you do requires investment. You want to make money but don't want to invest. Where in the world can you get something for nothing? If there is, it's a lie."

Lin Xiaoxue looked down on her timid father.

Do nothing and wait for the whole family to eat bran and eat tree bark?

"Mom, besides raising chickens, we can also make some food to sell at the market."

Wang Chunxiu hesitated and said, "It's a pity that I'm not a good cook and can't make good food. Your aunt's cooking skills are better than mine, and they haven't made anything yet!"

Lin Xiaoxue was very disappointed with her.

Who just said others are useless?

When it's your turn to make a decision, aren't you still hesitant?
