Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

The sun fills the yard.

Cui Jingwen leaned against the door, bathed in the light, the book in his hand shining.

Yu's eyes fell on the book in Cui Jingwen's hand, and she was filled with awe.

Lin didn't pay attention to the expression of the person behind her. She brought two benches and instructed Cui Jingwen to pour water for Yu.

"Don't bother, I just drank some water at home and I'm not thirsty anymore."

Yu quickly waved her hand, saying that this was a scholar's hand, how could he pour water for her?

Lin did not allow her to refuse. Cui Jingwen poured water, and she added half a spoonful of sugar to the water, shook it and gave it to Yu.

"They are all our children, so please don't be polite, sister-in-law. We just returned to the village not long ago, and we still have a lot of things to ask you."

Yu took a sip of the water and it tasted sweet.

When Lin was pouring water just now, she quietly looked around the room. The sundries beside the water tank were neat and tidy, and even the seasoning jars on the stove were wiped clean.

Although Old Lady Cui and Mrs. Feng were not optimistic about Mrs. Lin, she thought that Mrs. Lin was very good and was very capable because she could let Sanlang study.

"Just ask."

Lin asked about the people who bullied Xiaoliu, but she was more curious about Widow Qin.

Yu heard about this from Liqiu at noon, and she put down the bowl of water in her hand and started talking about it.

"Those three boys are from Mrs. Wu's family. Her husband is not at home all year round, and there is no one to take care of the three boys, so they are a little wild. In my opinion, Mrs. Wu is not a bad person, but that widow Qin is." Yu paused when she said this.

Having been in the village for many years, I have heard a lot of rumors. It was okay when Lin was not in the village before, but now that Lin has returned with the child, some things are difficult to say.

Lin said gently: "Just say whatever you want to say. I just have a bottom line in my heart."

Yu pursed her lips and said, "Widow Qin married into our village. Her husband left two years ago, leaving behind a daughter. Widow Qin is pretty, but she's usually too busy with farm work, so she relies on the men in the village to help..."

I won’t say more about Yu here, as Sanlang is still nearby and I can’t pollute the ears of the scholars.

After getting the general idea, Lin asked the question in her heart: "Why doesn't she remarry?"

Yu scratched her head. How should she say this? Should she just say that she has a crush on the third brother?

"Maybe they haven't found a suitable one. Anyway, she only has one daughter, so she can survive no matter what. Besides, she has a good relationship with Mrs. Wu. With Mrs. Wu's protection, no one bullies her because she is a widow and unemployed." Yu explained dryly.

Yu raised her eyebrows, fearing that it was not that Widow Qin did not want to remarry, but that her position had been taken.

Didn't she see the look in Widow Qin's eyes when she looked at her? She wanted to skin her alive.

Seeing that Lin seemed to be lost in thought, Yu quickly changed the subject and talked about other people in the village.

Lin was not angry as expected. Instead, she calmly took out the cloth and listened to Yu's talk while her hands were busy sewing clothes.

With the help of Mrs. Yu, three pieces of clothing were quickly cut out.

Lin was looking through the cloth that Cui Zhaozhao had bought. One piece of cloth could probably make one set of clothes. There were actually seven pieces of cloth in the thick pile. The remaining scraps of cloth alone could make four or five sets of clothes for Xiaoliu.

Lin secretly clicked her tongue, thinking that the damn girl was going to tire her to death.

Cui Zhaozhao had a nap and her mouth was dry. She drowsily looked for water to drink, but when she opened her eyes, she saw Xiaoliu lying beside her, staring at her with his bright black eyes.

Xiaoliu pouted, and Cui Zhaozhao couldn't help but pinch his little face.

"Why don't you go out and play?"

The child’s skin felt so good, as smooth as tender eggs. Cui Zhaozhao couldn’t help but pinch it twice more.

Lin's three children have a very good relationship. Xiaoliu is usually raised by her elder sister because the breakfast shop is busy, so Xiaoliu is particularly close to Cui Zhaozhao.

The little guy raised his head and whispered, "Sister Liqiu said she usually goes to the foot of the mountain to pick wild vegetables. Let's go too."

When Cui Zhaozhao heard about digging wild vegetables, she was very excited.

The fruits her father picked yesterday were more valuable than wild vegetables. She didn't dare go outside the village alone. There might be something valuable at the foot of the mountain that could make her a small fortune.

But, Mom probably won't let them go alone.

The brother and sister looked at each other, and each of them had their own ideas in their eyes.

Lin's hands were busy with needle and thread. Although she had never sewn clothes in her previous life, she quickly sewed a small piece of clothing based on her memory.

Xiaoliu's clothes are not dry yet after washing, so this one is perfect for her to wear.

Lin stroked the small clothes in her hands, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she felt a special sense of accomplishment in sewing the clothes by herself.

As I was sighing, two figures flashed out from the inner room. Before I could react, my legs were hugged tightly.

Xiaoliu flattered: "Mom, you are the best..."

Lin laughed: "You are so sweet, do you know that mother has made new clothes for you?"

Xiaoliu was stunned. When he saw the new clothes in Lin's hand, he jumped up excitedly. He had new clothes!

"Go put it on and see if it fits."

Xiaoliu picked up the new clothes and ran back to the house happily.

Lin looked at Cui Zhaozhao who was squatting on the other side: "What's wrong with you?"

Cui Zhaozhao swallowed and said that they had agreed to pray together, but Xiaoliu threw him aside when he got new clothes.

This kid is really unreliable.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Xiao Liu and I want to go to the foot of the mountain to pick some wild vegetables..."

"I don't agree. You two are not familiar with this place. It's too dangerous to go to the mountain."

Lin refused without a second thought. The medical level in the village was not up to par, and there was no shortage of food at home, so there was no need to take the risk.

Yu leaned forward and said, "I have some mosquito repellent ointment here. Apply some on your body, and insects and snakes will avoid you when they smell it. Li Qiu and the others apply it every time they go up the mountain."

As he spoke, he took out a small box from his pocket. When the box was opened, it was filled with a strong smell of herbs.

"This is a recipe passed down from my mother's family. It's made of common herbs in the mountains. I make it every two days. I happened to make some new ones yesterday." Yu rolled up her sleeves. Although her skin was rough, there were no black marks from mosquito bites.

Lin took the box. The crushed herbs mixed with the green juice smelled somewhat refreshing.

Yu's mother's village is a hundred miles away from Xiahe Village. The whole village is in the mountains. The prescriptions passed down from generation to generation must be effective.

When Xiaoliu heard that his mother allowed them to go up the mountain, he applied herbal juice and happily pulled Cui Zhaozhao out.

Villagers along the way were working in the fields.

Xiaoliu grinned and greeted everyone he met.

"Uncle, your land is so neat, amazing!"

Mr. He, who was pulling weeds, was coaxed into a frenzy. Children's voices and words are the most soothing to the heart, and it is rare to find a hint of sweetness in the hard times.

"Hey, this is the kid from Cui Laosan's family, he looks so cheerful. Where are you going?"

"My sister and I went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables."

Mr. He exclaimed, "Ouch!" "Be careful, go to the half-slope south of the foot of the mountain. It's flat and has lots of wild vegetables."

"Thank you, uncle. You are so kind. We will pay attention to it."

Xiaoliu kept walking and made He Laoer smile with just a few words, leaving Cui Zhaozhao stunned.

Passing by another farmland.

"Auntie, you work so efficiently! They can't catch up with you!"

"Hahaha, this little guy is really smart."

......

"Auntie, the crops in your fields are growing really well. We're going to have a good harvest soon!"

......

Finally, there were no farmlands at the foot of the mountain. Cui Zhaozhao rubbed his cheeks, which were stiff from smiling. He had never felt so tired just to force a smile in his life. He didn't know where he got so much energy.

Xiaoliu smacked her lips and said, "Sister, my mouth is a little dry."

...It would be strange if you weren't thirsty, you haven't stopped talking all the way.
