Ordinary happy life

Chapter 1 Lin Qin

Lin Qin glanced at the sky while waving the hoe vigorously, thinking that it was time to go back to cook, otherwise he would be late for lunch. Quickening his hands and feet to plow the land in front of him, Lin Qin panted slightly and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He said to the middle-aged man who was plowing hard not far away, "Dad, it's getting late. I'll go back and cook first." When he heard this,

the middle-aged man stopped and glanced at the sun above his head, then turned around and said, "Okay, be quick with your hands and feet. There is not much land left. We have to plow out all of it today." "

Hey, Got it." Lin Qin responded and walked home with the hoe on his shoulder. A hoe is a valuable item in the countryside. Lin Qin doesn't dare to put it aside casually. It will be gone in less than a quarter of an hour.

The Lin family was still a little far away from his family's fields, but Lin Qin's quick steps opened the small wooden door of his house in the time it took him to make a cup of tea, and he skillfully picked vegetables, washed them, and cooked them. The busy farming season is almost the most tiring time for farmers, so even though he felt distressed, Lin Qin still cut a small piece of bacon from the beam. It was really just a small piece, about the size of a baby's fist.

Lin Qin's time calculation was very accurate. Almost as soon as he put the food on the table, there were footsteps outside the door.

While placing the dishes and chopsticks, Lin Qin called to the three people who came in through the door, "Dad, eldest brother, second brother, it's time to wash your hands and eat."

Father Lin glanced at the dishes on the table, frowned, and said Lin Qin scolded, "Why are you cutting the meat now? Pickles and cabbage are enough." Lin Qin was

not sad even after being scolded. When he was cutting the meat, he had already guessed how Father Lin would react and said with a smile. "Dad, these days are the time when you are working hard, so you have to replenish your oil and water. Besides, it's not much, just a little bit."

Father Lin also knew that Lin Qin was thinking about their health, so what else could he say? , sat down first.

"Brother Qin's cooking is getting better and better. This fried meat is so delicious." Lin Dazhu, the eldest brother of the Lin family, picked up the bowl, picked up a piece of meat and ate it with rice.

Lin Erzhu followed closely and ate a piece of meat happily, nodded and agreed, "Brother is right, Brother Qin's craftsmanship is getting better and better. If Brother Qin gets married in the future, we don't know what to do." ."

Although Lin Qin was raised as a man by Father Lin since he was a child, he is still a brother. When he heard the words of marriage, he couldn't help but blush. He ate his food in small bites and said embarrassedly, "Second brother, why did you say this? , I will definitely wait until you and the eldest brother are married before getting married. Then, after eating the food cooked by the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, you may dislike me."

Lin Dazhu and Lin Erzhu were not shameless, and they were a little unhappy after hearing this. Sorry, Lin Dazhu touched his nose. Although he was a bit embarrassed, he still said seriously, "With our family's conditions, my second son and I will definitely have to save a few years of money if we want to get married. You are already seventeen this year. If If you wait a few more years, there will be no good families."

"Brother is right. It is harder for a brother to get married than a girl. If you delay it for a few more years, you will either have to marry into a poor ravine, or you will be treated as a pawn. Filling up a house, how can you live a good life?" Lin Erzhu said to Lin Qin, thought for a while, looked at Lin's father and said, "Dad, if a matchmaker comes to introduce brother Qin to a marriage in the future, if the conditions are good, I should Okay. I know you are worried that we have no mother. If Qin brother gets married, there will be no one to take care of the house and we will have no one to take care of us. But my eldest brother and I are getting older. Even if we can't do housework well, we will never starve to death. Don't delay Brother Qin."

"The second brother is right, dad. Although Brother Qin's appearance is not top-notch in the village, he is not bad either. He has a good personality, not to mention housework, and he can even work in the fields. Work. I think when Brother Qin was only ten years old, someone wanted to come to propose marriage. However, his mother just passed away at that time, and we grown men didn't know how to do any housework, so Brother Qin's marriage was postponed. . In the past few years, Erzhu and I, apart from anything else, have become quite good at cooking. Although it's not delicious, it's not so much that we can't eat it. It's time to announce our marriage to Brother Qin. If we delay it any longer, it will be really difficult. There is no marriage plan." Lin Dazhu said seriously.

Lin Qin looked at the mature and honest faces of Lin Dazhu and Lin Erzhu, although they were not handsome. He couldn't help but feel a sore nose and lowered his head to hide his red eyes. Lin Qin is really glad that he was born into the Lin family. In the Daqing Dynasty, his brother was not worth much. Although he looks like a man, he can give birth like a woman, but his fertility is not as good as that of a woman. Because of this, many people initially regarded Brother as a monster and would throw him away as soon as he was born. It has only gotten better in the past ten years.

But even so, some people still don't like their brother. Although he won't throw him away, he has been beaten and scolded since he was a child, and he doesn't even have enough to eat. When getting married, most families choose girls. That is, only those who are naturally fond of men or whose family is poor will choose their elder brother to be their husband. Very few wealthy families choose their elder brother to be their husband, and at most they will just be a concubine.

The Lin family also prefers sons, but they don't hate neglecting Lin Qin, the little brother. Although he has to work since he was a child, this is not the case for everyone in a farm family. At least Lin Qin has been well fed and clothed since he was a child. Even Lin's father and Lin's mother rarely beat or scold Lin Qin, because Lin Qin is often envied by other boys in the village.
