Chapter 69: Sharing Food and Eating Delicious Food
Hearing what Village Chief Lin said, Lin Qingxue nodded, called Lin Qingbai, Lin Qingmin and Lin Xiaoshan over, picked out all their belongings, and asked them to take them back to Aunt Lin and her three sisters-in-law to put away.
"Second brother, this bag of flour is ours, this bag of sweet potatoes is ours, and this small bag of old rice is also ours. These, these, and these are all ours. These dried vegetables and bacon are also ours. These ten kilograms of cotton are also bought by me for our family..."
In an instant, the only sounds in the spacious space were the voices of the "wooden man" standing next to them and Lin Qingxue talking.
As Lin Qingxue calmly and composedly "pointed out the way forward", the others dared not say a word, for fear that she would point at everything and say that they were bought by herself, and then they would have no place to cry.
Fortunately, apart from food, only a quarter of the other things were bought by Lin Qingxue for her family, and the rest were shared among the villagers, so everyone was satisfied.
After all the Lin family’s things were moved away, Village Chief Lin wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his head. It was really too scary. Either they didn’t buy it, or they bought so much at once.
However, when everyone thinks about the size of the Lin family, it's not surprising. Others buy a lot of things, but when it comes to each person in the Lin family, there's not much left.
"Qingxue, the rest belongs to all of us, right?" Village chief Lin pretended to be calm as he looked at the remaining things. Although there were not many, it was enough for everyone to share.
"Yes, uncle, my eldest brother and I went into the city together to buy things. He knows the prices of the things. Let him stay here to help you. We will go back first," Lin Qingxue smiled and pointed at Lin Qingming.
She was very smart. If Lin Qingming didn't stay to do the hard labor, she would have to do it. Thinking of the big meat buns she bought, wouldn't she go back and eat them? Why should she stay to do the hard labor? She had people at home.
"Okay, you've worked hard going into the city to buy things, go back and have a rest! Just leave your eldest brother here," Village Chief Lin could see that although the two elders were in charge of Old Man Lin's family, in fact, the decision was made by his granddaughter from the next room.
Lin Qingxue said hello to Village Chief Lin and the elders, then took the snacks and thirty large meat buns she had bought and returned to her temporary residence.
"Children, come and have some snacks. Auntie bought you a lot of snacks."
Lin Qingxue shouted and all the children of the Lin family gathered around. Even the youngest, Liu Ziwen, staggered towards her.
When the children from other families in the village heard Lin Qingxue's words, they all looked at Lin Qingxue and the Lin family's children with envy. They also wanted to have a rich and generous aunt.
"Line up one by one to get your snacks, no grabbing allowed!"
As Lin Qingxue spoke, she distributed snacks to the nephews who were lined up. Two people shared a string of candied haws, two small pieces of ginger candy were given to each person, one dim sum was given to each person, and one meat bun was also given to each person.
Lin Qingxue gave the remaining candies and snacks to her three sisters-in-law for safekeeping, and told her nephews to ask their mother for them if they wanted to eat them.
In order to prevent Liu Ziwen from thinking too much, Lin Qingxue also gave a handful of candy to Liu's wife and asked her to give it to Liu Ziwen.
Since the Liu family was rescued by Lin Qingran, the Lin family has treated them equally. Liu Er came to the Liu family alone, and during this period of time, each of them has saved up two sets of clothes, and the things for the baby in Liu Er's belly have also been almost prepared.
Therefore, the Liu family was nothing but grateful to the Lin family. Even if Lin Qingxue didn't give Liu Ziwen food, they wouldn't say anything.
But when she gave it to them, the Liu family became even more grateful, which showed that the Lin family did not treat them as outsiders.
"Xiaoshan, here are two strings of candied haws and some ginger candies. Take them to the village chief's house and share them with your sister Xiaomeng and the others. Also, take ten meat buns."
As Lin Qingxue spoke, she packed the things she was going to take to Village Chief Lin's house into a basket and asked Lin Xiaoshan to deliver it. She was tired after a day and didn't want to move anymore.
There were thirty buns in total. Ten were given to the family of Village Chief Lin, eleven were divided among the children, and the remaining nine buns were divided among each couple in the Lin family, five, three couples in the Liu family, and the twins Lin Qingyue and Lin Qingmin ate one each and finished them all.
As for Lin Qingxue, she didn't ask for buns because she had eaten other snacks.
Fortunately, it was just one bun, and no one fought over it. They just remembered Lin Qingxue's kindness in their hearts.
Not only were the children very excited while eating the meat buns, but the adults also ate them very carefully.
"Qingxue, come here and lock the food in this wooden box. I see you bought some vegetables and meat. How about we have a plain meal for lunch? And then braise some pork and stir-fry some vegetables?"
After eating the buns, Li Yan's mother and three sisters-in-law began to prepare today's lunch. No matter how delicious the meat buns were, it would not be enough for two people to eat one, so they still had to eat.
"Okay, sister-in-law, then I'll start. I'll simmer the rice first," Fang Furong said in a low voice. They didn't need to worry about anything else while fleeing from famine, they only needed to take care of three meals a day.
The three sisters-in-law cooperated very well. Fang Furong was responsible for stewing the rice, while Li Yanniang and Liu Jiali were responsible for cooking. In less than half an hour, lunch was ready.
Lin Xiaoshan, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, took his two older brothers to set up the dining table, put the dishes on it, and prepared to eat.
The Lin family had already had lunch, while Village Chief Lin and his men were still distributing food and vegetables. Lin Qingxue bought meat, dried vegetables, food, and other miscellaneous items, basically everything that every household wanted.
Lin Qingming announced the price of each item to everyone, and each family sent a representative to say what they wanted. Lin Qingchu and Lin Qingxun were responsible for weighing and collecting money.
After all the hard work, only 40 kilograms of pork and 200 kilograms of sweet potatoes were left, and the rest were distributed and bought back by the villagers.
"Qingming, we can't eat all this pork anymore, so you can only keep it for yourselves. As for the food, I will ask for it from some elders of the clan."
As Village Chief Lin spoke, he took his eyes off the pork with difficulty. He couldn't look at it anymore. If he looked at it again, he would be reluctant to give it back.
"Okay, uncle, then let the second son move the pork back," Lin Qingming nodded. He naturally saw the look in Village Chief Lin's eyes, but with so many people watching, he didn't know what to say or do.
Village chief Lin and three clan elders each took 50 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and they divided the 200 kilograms of sweet potatoes and left the silver for Lin Qingming.
Lin Qingming didn't say anything. He collected all the silver, asked Lin Qingbai to carry the pork, and went back to his own base.
