Lin Peiwen didn't know where he was. Only grandma Lin was sitting next to the hall door with a chair. Her eyesight was weak. She was holding her needle and thread high in her hand. She was surprised to see Lin Peilan coming back.
"Why are you back?" She came back to her mother-in-law's house only yesterday, and she expected that it would take at least three or five days for her to come back.
"Yesterday's tea was sold in the county, but it wasn't enough to sell, so I took the opportunity to come back and get some more." Lin Peilan put things down, already sweating, waved her hand and refused the handkerchief that Lin a-po had handed her, "I'll wash my face later. Grandma, what about them at home? No one's home. "
"It's not sultry. They say it's a good day to catch loach. Your third uncle went, and your eldest aunt called your eldest uncle to go, so they all left."
It seems that my father was also persuaded. The rice in the field only began to ear. People often went down to check whether there was water or insect disaster. At this time, they would catch some loach and Monopterus albus.
In the sultry weather, those loach fish will come out. Maybe there are a lot of people in the village today. Otherwise, people like Lin Youcai, who are so regular, would know that they would not go down to the ground to catch them.
"I'll clean up and see if I can make it back today."
Lin Peilan wiped her face with water, picked up the things she had brought back, told granny Lin what to give, and took out the sack to fill the tea jar.
Granny Lin also wants to say that Lin Peilan's daughter-in-law can't ignore her mother-in-law's family. At the moment, she doesn't even have time to drink water, so she doesn't say those cliches. It seems that Lin Peilan doesn't come back from lunch, so she just goes to the kitchen to make a fire and prepare a bowl of noodles for her.
Before Lin Peilan's things were packed, it was very dark and windy all morning, and soon it began to rain cats and dogs.
People who went out to touch the loach eel were all drenched. Lin Peilan heard Lin Peiwen and several children chirping and laughing in the room.
"It's such a big rain. I've come back to change my clothes. I'll cook them for you to drink."
Grandma Lin shouts to the people who have just entered the warehouse, and then rushes to the warehouse to ask Lin Peilan to eat noodles. Everyone thinks Lin Peilan has returned to her mother-in-law's house. Now she is surprised at home.
"Sister! Why are you back? Grandma also said that you should come back at least four or five days! "
"I just got home for a while, and you changed your clothes quickly to be careful of catching a cold."
"It's OK. I'm strong Lin Peiwen knew that Lin Peilan came back and came in with his gourd shaped fish basket to find Lin Peilan. It was true that there were tea leaves in the warehouse, which could not touch the water. He stood at the door, holding the fish basket and said, "elder sister, you see, my father and I touched it, not loach. Now we raise it and stew it at night."
"Good." Lin Peilan put down things, turned around and saw a wet Lin Peiwen, "to change clothes again."
When he gave something to Lin Peilan, Lin Peiwen happily washed his hands and feet and changed his clothes. He also said that he would go earlier if he knew, and at this time he could touch more loach.
Lin Peilan found a wooden bucket, poured out the contents of the fish basket, looked at the small fish basket, poured in the bucket, looked at a lot, just she weighed, at least three or four kilograms of loach eel.
The rain from the eaves of the patio soon picked up half a bucket, placed it beside the hall, and went back to the kitchen to eat noodles.
Grandma Lin is cooking herbal medicine to dispel the cold. The hot air in the kitchen can't get out. The fragrance of noodles and herbal medicine.
"Eat the noodles quickly, it's going to be burnt. You young people are not sensible. You can't be hungry. It's not the time when you didn't have food. You have to eat three meals... It's so heavy that you can't leave for a while. "
Mrs. Lin said that she was really hungry. She drank a few mouthfuls of soup and ate two chopsticks of noodles, which eased her heartburn.
"When I went there yesterday, Jianguo's mother said that she was busy with her work and couldn't take care of her family. I thought about it, so I went to the county town more often without delay at both ends. "
"Then go back and take care of it! Other people's in laws and mothers are tired. Jianguo has entrusted all his family to you. As a daughter-in-law, you can't let him down. "
As soon as grandma Lin answered, she regretted it. She told her that it was a notice, but she didn't make up her mind.
Now it's good. When she spoke, the old lady let her go back.
"Grandma. I don't want to go back to the county like this. " Lin Peilan took a few mouthfuls. Now she's calming down. She's eating slowly. "Sister Jianguo is at home, and she'll take care of her. I'll take time to go back and clean them up, make some steamed buns and put them in the fridge for breakfast. "
"It's just for sanitation, isn't the sister-in-law still young?"
"I'm one year older than Peiwen, but I don't usually do anything. I don't know a lot of things." Thinking of her back on the motorcycle, she had a headache.
This careless Chen Manni is lazy at home in all kinds of ways. She goes out to play with people in the society when she is young. If she loses money, she will turn the world upside down at home.
There was something wrong in her heart. Granny Lin asked her to get along with her aunt. She was diligent, and she would never make any mistakes. Lin Peilan did not refute.
"After all, it's a girl from a rich family. If you can do more, do more! It's not a big deal. Just use your hands and feet. "
When Lin Peilan heard this, she looked up at grandma Lin, who was burning a fire under the stove. Most of the women of the previous generation followed the principle of three obediences and four virtues, followed their father at home and married their husband. Grandma Lin was a typical example. Otherwise, she would not have come back from the news of the old man's sacrifice. At that time, she was only in her twenties. No matter how hard she was, she would have lived a lifetime holding a memorial tablet.
If she said that she refused Chen's mother to let her go to the county and did not wash Chen's clothes, her family would be in a mess now.
The heavy rain outside was still falling. Lin Peilan was a little confused. She dealt with grandma Lin casually, but she didn't gnaw any more until she finished eating noodles and got up to wash the dishes.
Looking at Lin Peilan's absent-minded eating, Granny Lin realized that Lin Peilan had something on her mind, but she only thought that she had experienced those bad feelings in her mother-in-law's family.
My sister-in-law is too old to clean. Maybe she really can't do it. Maybe she doesn't want to do it. Now she has a sister-in-law who deliberately shirks.
In the latter case, it may arouse the impulse of Lin Peilan's young people. Compared with her starting to work in a tea factory at the age of 16 when she was young, this gap will make people unhappy. If you say more words of contempt, you will probably tear your face.
Lin Peilan looks at gentleness and has no temper, but she is soft with hardness. She really believes that what she wants to do can't be reversed by anyone. Just looking at her hasty decision to get married this time, we can see how hard her character is.
But who makes everyone's family different!
In ancient times, the Chen family was a military service family. Now Chen's father is the head of the Bureau. This is the family background that the Lin family could not catch up with on horseback.
