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

The three Lins returned to the east room.

Cui Zhaozhao was indignant: "How can Feng be such a mother? If you don't want to take care of the children, why don't you just separate and live separately? Why do you insist on having the children live back home?"

Although she is only ten years old now, in her eyes, except Erlang, the other children are all little brats.

After spending so much time with them day and night together, she has come to regard the little kids as half a family member.

She was so angry, so you can imagine how upset Erlang and the others must be.

Lin found a few large basins, divided the kelp into several portions, and soaked them in water.

This was a physical job. Even with three people working together, Lin felt tired and his waist ached. He stood up and pounded his lower back.

"Ms. Feng is indeed selfish, but she's not completely bad."

"Food is so precious these days, and she even confiscated her own children's rations. She didn't care that Erlang was injured, and she even stole all the eggs. Isn't that bad? I think she's utterly evil."

Lin shook her head. The population mobility in the village was low, and in a closed environment, anyone's bad habits would be exaggerated and magnified.

In my previous life, I had seen many leaders bullying their subordinates and making things difficult for each other in the workplace. In comparison, Feng's simple selfishness was not that bad.

Her little thoughts are written all over her face, so it's easy to guard against her. Just stay away from her.

"Look at it from another angle. At least she didn't sell her child. Even if she was so poor that she couldn't afford to buy land, she still didn't sell her child."

"But the food we earned in exchange for the land went into Feng's stomach. Erlang and his friends didn't get a single bite. They ate wild vegetables dug from the mountains every day."

Erlang and the others are a little older and more sensible than their peers. They keep all their pains in their hearts. Only Xiaoqi is young. When he gets together with Xiaoliu, he keeps talking non-stop and tells everything that happened before.

It also made Cui Zhaozhao feel even more sorry for them.

Hot water was boiling in the stove. Lin took out the bamboo basket from the corner and saw that some of the locusts inside were already dead.

Lin said slowly, "Before chestnuts were discovered, most people in the village relied on wild vegetables to fill their stomachs. Erlang and his friends weren't the hardest hit."

Silang was good with a slingshot and would hunt some wild game from time to time. The children were not lazy either, so their food was not the worst in the village.

"The process of enduring hardship is also a process of growth. Although it's sad to talk about it, it's also because of a selfish mother that Erlang and his friends are more united than ordinary siblings. They have endured the worst days together. The days ahead will be filled with sweetness after bitterness."

Cui Zhaozhao blinked, and the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated.

"Erlang has already planted the soybeans. When the harvest doubles, call Feng over to take a look and make her vomit to death!"

With her around, the children will definitely have a good life.

Cui Zhaozhao felt relieved when he thought of Feng's anxious look on her face, as she couldn't eat and was worried sick.

"We'll talk about the future later. First, take a look at these locusts."

Lin cut open all the dead locusts in the cage and looked at them carefully with an oil lamp. However, the oil lamp was too dim and the more he looked, the more dizzy he became.

"It seems to be all yellow?" Cui Zhaozhao leaned over and looked carefully. "How about testing it?"

"Not yet, bring the other cage over."

Yesterday she had divided the locusts into two cages, and she had just taken the one that had stopped eating.

Most of the other group were alive, but they had not eaten much of the food in the cage. Cui Zhaozhao took out a few of them and cut them open as well.

The inside of some of the abdomens is still white, and the diseased locusts are very obvious against the white contrast.
