My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin
Chapter 30: Make More Boxes and Storage
"Mom, my aunt and the others have prepared delicious food. You should go out and eat! My sister and I are a little sleepy and want to take a nap," Lin Xiaoya rubbed her eyes and said slightly sleepily.
"Okay, then you two sisters should get some good sleep. Mom will go eat first."
Lin Qingxue nodded. She put the big box full of luggage aside, made room for her two daughters to lie down and rest, and then went out to eat.
When she arrived at the main hall, Lin Qingxue saw that Uncle Lin and the others had already sat down, waiting for her to come. When they saw Lin Qingxue coming, everyone started to eat.
After Li Yanniang and her two sisters-in-law prepared the food, they each went back to their rooms to pack up, leaving Aunt Lin waiting in the main room to wash the dishes after Uncle Lin and the others had finished eating.
Although there were only four of them having lunch, Li Yan's mother still fried a rabbit for them, stewed potatoes with meat, and fried loofah. The staple food was steamed buns made with two-grain flour.
For convenience, the staple food these days is steamed buns made of two-grain flour. The men in the family do physical work, and the children are all grown up and get hungry quickly. How can they survive if we don’t prepare more food?
It took about ten minutes for Lin Qingxue and the others to finish their meal. Aunt Lin stopped her from cleaning up the dishes and asked Uncle Lin to help her take the dishes to the kitchen.
"Qingxue, do you have any requirements for the cabinets and boxes you mentioned?" Lin Qingming, who had eaten and drunk his fill, thought of the cabinets and boxes his elder sister had asked for before. He planned to take a rest before going to work, so he decided to ask clearly first.
"It doesn't need to be beautiful, as long as it is practical. Brother, you can make a few more boxes to hold your family's luggage, and then engrave your names on the boxes," Lin Qingxue smiled. The practicality of boxes and cabinets is much more important than appearance.
"Okay, now I understand what you mean," Lin Qingming nodded, sat for a while, and then took his three younger brothers to work together.
Every man in the village can do simple carpentry work, but it can only ensure practicality. Whether it looks good or not is another matter.
There was ready-made wood at home. It was prepared by Old Man Lin to make seventy-two legs for Lin Qingyue's wedding in a few years, but now he could only give it to them for use first.
The four brothers were clattering non-stop in the backyard. Uncle Lin helped Aunt Lin clean up the dishes and went to the backyard to help with the work. Aunt Lin went back into the house to pack their luggage.
Lin Qingxue stayed outside for a while, then took Lin Qingyue to pack her and Lin Qingmin's luggage.
The two are twins, a boy and a girl, and neither of them has a family. Their luggage is very simple, with two sets of clothes each for spring and autumn, summer, and winter.
Then there was a thin quilt and a thick quilt, about twenty of Lin Qingmin's books, and nothing else.
Lin Qingmin and Lin Qingyue, the twins, each packed their luggage in a large wooden box.
After packing up, Lin Qingxue put the box directly into the space in front of Lin Qingyue.
"Sister, you are so amazing," Lin Qingyue said in shock. She suddenly envied her sister for being able to see her parents again. She almost forgot what her parents looked like.
"If I hadn't almost died and never seen my parents again, and if the future of everyone in our family wasn't bleak, my parents wouldn't have given me this treasure to save our entire family's lives."
Lin Qingxue shook her head. If possible, she would rather live in the afterlife. The words "escape from famine" are easy to say, but they carry a lot of misery.
After hearing what her sister said, Lin Qingyue also calmed down. The two sisters were quiet for a rare moment and didn't say anything.
After sitting and resting for a while, Lin Qingxue heard some noise in the house. She asked Lin Qingyue to take her two daughters out to play, and she went back to her room to pack her luggage.
She put the wooden box containing the luggage into the space, leaving only the summer clothes for the mother and her two daughters to change into, and put the rest into the space.
After finishing her work, Lin Qingxue went to the backyard. When she arrived, Uncle Lin and his four companions were processing wood and saw her coming.
Uncle Lin quickly walked towards her and said, "Qingxue, what's wrong? Is there anything you want us to do?"
"Uncle, the meat we got yesterday was all rubbed with salt, so I was wondering if you guys wanted to make some racks to hang the bacon on."
Lin Qingxue did not go to where Uncle Lin and the others were working, but just stood beside and talked to Uncle Lin because there was too much dust over there.
"Okay! Is there anything else to do? We'll do it all this time," Uncle Lin agreed and asked with a smile.
"I haven't thought about it yet. These are the only things I can think of," Lin Qingxue shook her head. There were many things in the house, but there were so many things missing. Some were dispensable, but all the necessities had been bought.
"Okay, then you go and have a rest!" Uncle Lin nodded, and he would see what else he needed to do.
"Okay, uncle, I'll go to the front yard then." Seeing that there was nothing for her to do, Lin Qingxue went to the front yard to rest.
Lin Qingxue and his group returned home at around two o'clock, almost three o'clock. They had dinner and packed up, and it was already past five o'clock when they were busy. They had a quick meal in the evening and then went back to their rooms to rest.
These days, everyone in the village has been busy packing their luggage and going to the city to buy food. Looking at the weather, everyone knows that food will be in short supply in the future, so the head of the household naturally dare not be careless.
Unfortunately, the price of food in the city has risen sharply, the villagers have little money at home, and the food in the fields has died due to drought. The women and children in the family go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, but the harvest is very little. Many families have changed from two meals a day to one meal, and most of them eat wild vegetable porridge, black-faced steamed buns and coarse grain rice balls.
After daybreak, Li Yanniang and her three sisters-in-law got up to prepare breakfast for the family. Today they had black-faced steamed buns again. Each child had a boiled egg, and then a bowl of fried pickled cabbage dumplings.
After breakfast, Lin Qingxue took her three sisters-in-law and Lin Qingyue to the mountains to pick wild vegetables. The others stayed at home to look after the children and do carpentry work.
The group of five walked for almost two hours when Lin Qingxue heard the sound of flowing water. She looked in the direction and saw a pool of water over there. She was overjoyed.
Said: "Sisters-in-law, Qingyue, there is a pond over there, let's go over and take a look."
"A pond? There really is a pond. Let's go over there quickly." Li Yanniang thought she had misheard, but when she looked up, she really saw the pond. The joy in her heart was self-evident.
The five of them strode towards the pool. When they arrived at the pool and looked at the clear bottomless water, Lin Qingxue bravely held the water in her hands and took a sip. The water was sweet and delicious.
