Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year
Chapter 9 The new brain is really useful
Hot weather.
Xiaoliu only had this set of clothes. Cui Zhaozhao took out the cloth he had just bought and draped it over him, tying it in the middle with a strip of cloth. He sat in front of the low table, looking like a little dumpling.
The braised pork was out of the pot. Lin filled a bowl with the meat and handed it to Cui Zhaozhao.
"These are for your grandparents."
People in the upper room were also eating. On the table there was only a bowl of thin porridge made from old rice, mixed with wild vegetable leaves, and some leftover porridge from the previous meal, mixed together in lumps.
Cui Zhaozhao took a look and looked away.
"Grandma, my brother has some copper coins, so he bought some meat. This bowl is for you."
Old Mrs. Cui thought it was bone soup, but when she saw a bowl of tempting red pork belly, her eyelids jumped.
"Lin is such a spendthrift, how can anyone afford to eat so much meat!" This bowl of meat has at least three taels, and there is also sugar in it, all precious things.
It would have been fine if the children were young, but why did Mrs. Lin let them eat all the meat in one meal?
Old Mrs. Cui regretted giving all the food to Lin. If she had known that she was so careless, she would have given her as much as she could eat.
But the meat was already stewed, and it was no use scolding Old Lady Cui anymore. She waved her hand with a cold face and told Cui Zhaozhao to leave quickly.
She originally thought that Lin was more reliable than Feng, but now in her heart, Lin is not as good as Feng.
Cui Zhaozhao was grateful to the Cui family for taking them in. She didn't mind what Old Mrs. Cui said and returned to the east room with a smile.
Xiaoliu held the bone soup and kept looking at the meat on the table.
Lin pretended to be stern: "Drink the soup first, drink it slowly, and then eat the meat."
Xiaoliu imagined the taste of the meat and drank the bone soup mouthful by mouthful. Lin gave him half a bowl of fluffy white rice.
Xiaoliu was stunned. It turned out to be dry rice, not porridge!
"Mom, are you going to sell me out?" Something seemed wrong with the meat and rice today.
Lin laughed and scolded, "What are you dreaming of, you idiot boy? If you want to sell someone, sell your brother first."
Cui Jingwen: ...
Xiaoliu looked at his eldest brother with a worried look in his eyes: "Is he going to be sold?"
Lin picked up a piece of meat and blocked Xiaoliu's mouth.
The braised pork melted in the mouth, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth. Xiaoliu chewed it greedily for several times, reluctant to swallow it, but the meat slid down his throat into his stomach, leaving his mouth full of the meaty fragrance.
Just as Xiaoliu opened his mouth to speak, Lin stuffed another piece of meat in his mouth.
"I won't sell it to anyone, just eat your meal in peace."
Xiaoliu's eyes were bright black. After swallowing the meat in his mouth, he quickly covered his mouth.
"Mom, I want to say something. This meat is so delicious. I would be happy even if I was sold after eating this meal."
The three people at the table were stunned, then burst into laughter.
I didn't expect he was such a foodie.
Xiaoliu's half bowl of rice was soon finished, and Lin added another spoonful of rice and poured the red soup on it.
"If you like it, I'll make it for you often and raise you into a fat, white pig."
Xiaoliu ate with relish, and Cui Zhaozhao and the other two couldn't help but eat an extra bowl.
After eating two pounds of pork belly, only the soup was left.
After dinner, Cui Jingwen washed the dishes, while Lin and Cui Zhaozhao walked around the front door.
The Cui family's yard is very large. There is a large yard behind the upper house and the east house. The fence in the backyard of the east house is full of firewood, and you can't see inside. The yard behind the east house used to be a small vegetable garden, but now it is empty. There is a pigpen against the wall behind the west house.
"I never thought I'd have this chance to travel through time again. Luckily, our family of three is here."
Cui Zhaozhao also had a lot of emotions, but she was more looking forward to it.
"I still have a space. No matter what, we can live well here."
No one knows a son better than his mother. As soon as Cui Zhaozhao started a conversation, Lin knew what she was thinking.
"It's not that simple. Large-scale famine is bound to cause unrest. We are in the midst of it and cannot remain immune."
Cui Zhaozhao revealed his plan: "We can sell the rice from the system to the grain store. I went to the grain store today and saw that the refined grain was 26 wen per jin, while the system only sold it for 2 wen per jin."
Lin looked at her seriously and asked, "How many lives do you have?"
"Let's not even mention that it's not the rice season now. All the rice that can be sold is old. As soon as your white rice is delivered to the grain store, our house will be robbed. With your brother's physique, how can you expect him to fight against them?"
Cui Zhaozhao scratched his head and said, "Then selling meat should be fine. The butcher's shop charges 20 cents for a pound of fat meat, and the system charges 4 cents..."
"Where are the pigs? You need pigs to fish in troubled waters, right? You're selling meat for nothing?"
Lin ruthlessly shattered Cui Zhaozhao's fantasy. It was not that she did not give her daughter face, but these ideas were too dangerous.
If they are not careful, the three members of their family will die again.
"What should I do?"
Is it possible that my system can only be displayed and cannot be used?
Lin comforted him, "Don't think too much about it. We still have some rice in our hands. Let's get familiar with the environment first and then make plans."
Her mother had gone further than she thought. Cui Zhaozhao thought about it carefully and became more and more frightened. Fortunately, her mother was by her side. With her brain alone, she probably wouldn't survive more than three episodes.
I have to give my brother a good scolding when I get back. His brain is worse than mine.
Cui Chengliang held the cloth and thought about how to ask Lin to give the cloth.
The two elders of the Cui family were snoring in the kang room in the upper room. When Mr. Cui woke up, he would have to go to the fields. Cui Chengliang hardened his heart and went to the east room.
Cui Jingwen sat at the door reading a book. The classical Chinese texts that were previously obscure and difficult to understand now seemed effortless to him and he could remember them at a glance.
New brains are really useful.
Cui Chengliang coughed: "Where's your mother?"
Cui Jingwen stood up cautiously: "She's out, is there anything wrong?"
Not only was Cui Jingwen resistant to his adoptive father, but even his original body's memory was also resistant to his father. Cui Jingwen's face was tense.
Cui Chengliang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was not there.
"All your belongings were robbed. I happened to see some cloth for sale when I went into town this morning. Let your mother make you some clothes."
The cloth was wrinkled, but Cui Jingwen didn't mind at all and accepted it immediately.
It would be a waste not to take something that comes from your cheap dad.
He is the eldest in the family, has the deepest impression of his stepfather, and is most disgusted by his behavior of abandoning his wife and children.
He turned around and put the cloth sent by his cheap father and the cloth bought by his sister together. He would not tell his mother who sent the cloth.
He is the only man in the family, and he has to protect his mother and sister in this unfamiliar environment!
Lin and Cui Zhaozhao were so tired from walking that their stomachs finally felt better. They were about to go home when they met their sister-in-law Yu.
Cui Zhaozhao got up too early in the morning and was now so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting each other. After saying goodbye to Yu, he went back to his room to catch up on his sleep.
Yu had a shy smile on her face.
"At noon, Li Qiu brought back those things and scared me and her father. You guys are having a hard time too, so don't worry about us."
After saying that, he carefully took out a cloth bag from his arms, which contained three eggs wrapped in several layers of cloth.
"I heard that Xiaoliu got beaten up. These eggs will help him to nourish his body."
Lin quickly declined, saying that eggs were precious and she would not eat them even if they were laid by her own chickens. She would save them one by one and take them to the market to exchange for money.
Besides, Xiaoliu's injury was just to scare those people, it was just a few scratches.
But Yu was determined to give it, so Lin had no choice but to accept it and invited her into the house.
