After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Shen Qingzhou sat next to Lin Ting. Although he became much more taciturn, he still answered Lin Lin.

"We were given two mu of farmland and two plots of dry land. We plan to use the one on the edge of the village to build a house, and the rest to grow vegetables.

Other household items, farm tools and tableware are all here. Once we get through this lean period, everything will be fine.”

Everyone was just barely getting by. As long as Lin Lin could ensure that her sister could survive, she wouldn't say anything else.

"Sister, Qingzhou and I will make ends meet. Qingzhou goes to the county every day to write letters for people, and we will earn some money. Anyway, we won't starve to death."

Lin Ting did not tell Lin Lin about their sale of medicinal herbs, partly because Lin Lin knew her too well.

On the other hand, it was because of Li Ergou. With him around, any money my sister had would only become his gambling money.

"Don't worry, Auntie. Xiaobao can also earn money and buy delicious food for mom and dad."

Lin Lin smiled and pulled Shen Wanyi over, holding her on her lap, touching Shen Wanyi's little hand and then her little face.

"Xiaobao is so good, let auntie hold you for a while, and then I'll go back."

Over the years, she has tried countless folk remedies, but she just can't get pregnant. She is so eager to have a child that she has become crazy.

"Sister, it's only Youshi now, and it won't get dark until Xushi. It will only take you two sticks of incense to get back. Stay here for dinner tonight."

"Lin Ting, but it's too late to go back. Your brother-in-law... forget it. It doesn't matter whether you go back early or late."

It was already Youshi, and there would be another quarrel when she returned. She couldn't refuse her sister's kindness. They rarely saw each other, and she wanted to spend more time with her sister, even if it meant eating bran.

"Then you wait here, sister. I'll go cook."

"it is good!"

Lin Lin played with Shen Wanyi.

There was only a small water tank at home, and Shen Dali was afraid that there would not be enough water for cooking, so he went out to fetch water.

Shen Qingzhou lit the fire on the stove while Lin Ting went to wash rice.

Yang Xiuxiu brought Lin Lin to pick beans. Lin heard that she was going to make stewed beans with meat.

She also washed the wild amaranth she had dug up in the morning, and Lin Ting wanted to cook it herself.

Since there was one more person today, Lin Ting directly cooked three pounds of fine rice, put the cooking pot on the stove, and Shen Qingzhou was in charge of watching the fire.

She turned around and went into the house and took out the meat she had bought at noon. In the early June weather, the meat would go bad if she didn't eat it today.

She put the meat on the chopping board and cut it. She kept about 300 grams and wrapped it in oil paper. She took a basin, washed the rest of the meat, cut it into pieces, and kept some to cut into shreds.

Wash the cooking pot and place it on another stove. Blanch the meat first, then add the meat, beans and salt and stew together.

Lin Lin held Shen Wanyi in her arms and was stunned to see her sister busying around, cooking rice and pork.

The Shen family didn't look wealthy, so how could they eat so well? Or was it his sister who insisted that Shen Qingzhou buy these?

Lin Lin couldn't question her sister in front of others, so she could only wait and ask her later.

After the beans are stewed, stir-fry the wild amaranth with shredded meat over high heat.

Although there were only two dishes, the portions were quite large.

Next door, Shen's family was eating when they smelled the aroma of fried meat.

Just by smelling the smell, Liu Shiying couldn't control his saliva, and the rice and bran porridge in his hand suddenly felt tasteless.

"Aunt, are the third family eating meat? It smells so good."

The whole family, including Shen Jizu, stretched their heads to look over there. They hadn't smelled this smell for a long time.

Mother Shen had a cold face and banged her chopsticks heavily on the rice.

"What are you looking at? Eat your meal, Jizu. Eat the eggs. Eating more eggs will make you smarter."

Mother Shen also secretly sniffed the aroma of meat in the air, thinking that if this was the meat fried by the third son, the third son would definitely give her a portion as a filial honor.

But the third family is so poor that it is impossible for them to eat meat. If they want to find it by smell, others will scold them for being the reincarnation of starving ghosts.

Jizu will soon be able to work as a chief clerk in the county government, and their family cannot afford to embarrass themselves by going there now.

While eating, Lin Lin looked at the meat dishes on the table. They had not eaten meat since fleeing the famine.

Only when my family was well-off as a child could I have such food.

"Sister, you loved eating meat the most when you were little. I still remember all of this."

Lin Ting saw it in the original owner's memory. Their Lin family used to be a well-off family, but things in the world are unpredictable.

While eating white rice with the meat her sister had picked up for her in the bowl, Lin Lin felt emotional and couldn't help but shed tears.

"Lin Ting, fortunately, sister still has you."

The beans are still the same beans, and the wild amaranth is the same wild amaranth that Shen Dali and his friends often eat.

But this time, with meat, oil, water and salt, the taste of the dish has changed completely. At this moment, to them, wild game is just like this.

When you add rice cooked with polished rice, you no longer feel the pain in your throat from the bran.

This was the first time Yang Xiuxiu ate the food cooked by Lin Ting, which contained meat and salt. She was very satisfied with the current Lin Ting.

Although Shen Qingzhou is not very talkative, he is not rude to Lin Lin. He has a gentle appearance and is a family-oriented person, but he has an unlucky fate.

After dinner, Lin Ting wanted to have a private chat with Lin Lin, so she didn't let Yang Xiuxiu go with her to see her off.

When they walked out of Wushan Village, Lin Ting took her hand and quietly took Lin Lin's pulse.

Her pulse was disordered and she felt very weak inside. There were also many bloodshot veins in the whites of her eyes that looked like chicken claws, which was caused by excessive stress.

She wanted to explore Lin Lin's pulse more deeply, but she let go of Lin Ting's hand in pain.

"Sister, don't..."

Before she could dodge, Lin Ting grabbed her hand, pulled up her sleeve and saw that her entire arm was covered with bruises of varying sizes.

"Sister, did that guy hit you again?"

Looking at these shocking scars, one can imagine how much suffering Lin Lin has endured.

Lin Lin pulled her hand back from Lin Ting's, looking embarrassed, and forced a smile a little awkwardly.

"No, that was all in the past. Now he goes out every day and has no time to take care of me."

Life is hard for women in this world. What can they do without men?

"Sister, you and I depend on each other, I don't want you to hide anything from me."

Lin Lin felt depressed, and when she heard her sister's words, she couldn't hold it back anymore. She hugged Lin Ting and couldn't stop crying.

"Sister, I'm sorry for you. If it weren't for me, you might have been able to marry a normal person and live a normal life."

Lin Ting patted her back and comforted her softly.

"Sister, I am living a good life now. My parents-in-law treat me well. Shen Qingzhou has difficulty with his legs, so I can do whatever I want. I am very satisfied now.

Besides, people always have to live for themselves, and no one can rely on anyone else for a lifetime.

What I am worried about now is not me, but you, my sister."
