Ordinary happy life

Chapter 8 Touched

Lin Qin quickly regained his composure, wiped away the tears on his cheeks, and continued heading home with the hoe on his shoulder. For Lin Qin, love is not as important as eating and living. What's more, Lin Qin really doesn't fall in love with Song Mian. At most, it's just a little affection when he first fell in love.

"Second brother, what are you doing with the door closed???" Lin Qin saw the door closed when he returned home. He knocked on the door and shouted to Lin Erzhu inside the house.

Lin Erzhu opened the door and quickly pulled Lin Qin into the room. He carefully looked around to see if there was anyone around, just like a thief.

"Second brother, the more careful you are, the more people will pay attention to you. If you open the door openly, others will still stare at you." Lin Qin couldn't stand Lin Erzhu's nervous attitude and said angrily.

Lin Erzhu did not deny Lin Qin's words, but he was too nervous to see so much money for the first time since he was a child, and he was afraid that others would come and steal it if they knew it.

Although Lin Qin didn't know how much money the yam was sold for, Lin Erzhu's appearance at this time made Lin Qin understand that it was definitely indispensable. His depressed mood after seeing Song Mian completely improved, and he asked happily, "Second brother, how much yams have been sold this time, is it enough for the eldest brother to marry his sister-in-law???"

After hearing this, Lin Erzhu took the silver that he carefully guarded in his arms. He took it out and handed it to Lin Qin and said, "Don't talk about marrying a sister-in-law, it's enough for me to marry one."

Although Lin Qin didn't know how to read, he could count. When he opened the small strip of cloth used to wrap the silver, he saw After a dozen small silver nuggets representing one tael of silver, I couldn't believe it. I thought I had counted it wrong. I counted it three or four times in a row before I could believe that everything in front of me was real.

"We didn't expect to be able to sell so much. The family we were lucky enough to find just sold a little more because they needed it. Otherwise, eight or nine taels would be good." Lin Erzhu sighed.

After Lin Qin reacted, he rewrapped the cloth and handed it to Lin Erzhu to put it away. Just now, Lin Qin saw that there were some copper plates inside the cloth, so he asked, "Did you and your eldest brother buy anything?" , I just saw there are some copper plates inside."

"Yes, I bought some rice noodles and pork ribs, and also bought a pot of wine for dad. When you cook at night, you just cook white rice. Speaking of which, we have been there for several years. I've never eaten white rice before." Thinking of the sweet taste of the white rice he had eaten as a child, Lin Erzhu couldn't help but salivate.

"Hey, okay." Lin Qin didn't expect that Lin Dazhu and Lin Erzhu actually bought white rice and white noodles. Lin Qin knew how expensive these two kinds were. Although he felt distressed, he could understand Lin Dazhu and Lin Erzhu's desire to improve their family conditions.

When Lin Erzhu saw Lin Qin walking to the kitchen, he suddenly thought of something and found the hair tie he bought for Lin Qin from the pile of things he bought. Then he stopped Lin Qin and handed the thing to him and said, "This is for you." See if you like the hair ties I bought."

Lin Qin had previously rejected Lin Dazhu's idea of ​​buying him a gift, but to his surprise, Lin Dazhu didn't listen to him and bought three hair ties of different colors at once. . Lin Qin wiped his hands subconsciously before catching the hair tie. The style of the hair tie was very ordinary, and the fabric was not good. It could be said to be the most ordinary decoration, but Lin Qin was still moved and his eyes turned red. Seeing Lin Qin like this, Lin Erzhu felt a little uncomfortable. After all, they, the elder brothers, were incompetent.

"Thank you, second brother, I like him very much." Lin Qin choked and said. Lin Qin felt that he had the best brother in the entire Daqing Kingdom. He always protected him since he was a child, and would always think of leaving good things to him. This time I exchanged money and didn't buy anything for myself, but I bought him several hair ties.

"As long as you like it, go put it on quickly." Lin Erzhu softened his voice and patted Lin Qin's head and said with a smile.

Lin Qin responded, then went to the kitchen to untie the straw rope on his head while facing the water in the water tank. Then he carefully took a light blue hair tie and tied it to his hair. After tying it, he looked at it happily for a long time. Just started preparing dinner for the evening.

Generally, farmers will hang some valuable meat or rice noodles on the beams to prevent rats from eating them, and the Lin family does the same. Lin Qin untied a rope tied to the pillar, put down a basket hanging on the beam, and then took out a piece of bacon from the basket, which was smoked by the Lin family during the Chinese New Year.

After taking out the bacon, Lin Qin put the white noodles in, took out a bowl and scooped out some white rice, then put the bag of white rice into the basket and then carefully hung the basket back to the beam.
