farm life

Chapter 20 Says

There were screams and yells outside, and in the house, five or six little dolls were also happily playing around in Lin Jiangsui's room, not at all concerned that this was not their home, seeing that they knew each other well Yes, I'm afraid I used to come here often.

Of these little dolls, the oldest one is no more than seven or eight years old, and the youngest one has not yet been weaned, wrapped in thick swaddling clothes and being coaxed by her mother in her arms. , was wrinkling his little face and howling dryly.

Worried that the sound of slaughtering pigs outside would scare them, Lin Jiang followed a few adults and drove the child into grandma's house, turned on the TV and selected a children's channel for them to watch to divert their attention.

The recently well-known "Joyful and Big Big Wolf" was playing on the TV. The simple and funny pictures attracted the children's attention, and no one wanted to go out to watch the pig slaughter anymore.

Seeing this scene, Song Jinfeng who was standing outside the door felt a little inexplicable: "Your mother-in-law likes little babies the most. When she sees other babies, she will coax and hug them for a long time. There are always sweets in her pockets. See Grab them when you catch them. At that time, the little ones in the village liked to run to your mother-in-law when they had no classes. Your mother-in-law always smiled and put on an old face, and prepared to entertain them with delicious food and drink. That's right, she treats them as if you came to hurt her."

Lin Jiang didn't say a word, just lowered his head and watched the TV, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing him like that, Song Jinfeng persuaded: "Don't blame your mother-in-law for not picking you up. Back then, she refused to agree with your father to send you to the city. It was your father who said that his daughter-in-law had a baby. She won't give birth if she doesn't send you away. Your mother-in-law agreed to send you away because she couldn't do anything. Later, she felt ashamed to see you, and asked someone to send you something every year, but she insisted on going with her, secretly watching you from the sidelines. Just a few glances, so you won’t find out. She climbed the mountain for a long time to pray for those peace talismans to the temple with the best incense...Later, she was ill, so we didn’t let you know, for fear of delaying your studies, and said to wait for you I came back to see her after the winter vacation, but I didn't wait..." As she spoke, she felt her heart was sore and sore as if someone had grabbed her.

After hearing her words, Lin Jiangsui didn't know how to respond, he just felt like he had knocked over the seasoning bottle in his heart, with mixed feelings and chaos.

It is impossible to say that there is no trace of resentment towards his grandma. It is because of the hatred that he endured it, and with that stubbornness, he stayed quietly in school for 11 years, but never said But wanting to go home, even the phone calls in the past were rare.

But now someone told him that his grandma really missed him, but she was too embarrassed to see him because of guilt...

【Won't you say something? 】Lin Jiangsui was in a panic, and wanted someone to comfort him, and the most suitable person was Emperor Ming, who knew all his secrets.

【do you need?I think this is a better time for you to cry. 】【No, with so many people watching, it's embarrassing to death. 】

Song Jinfeng saw that his face was turning pale and his eye sockets were starting to turn red, so he asked worriedly, "Suizi, are you alright?"

Lin Jiangsui wiped his eyes pretending to be calm: "It's okay, I put a lot of snacks upstairs, you wait for me to go up and get them." Before Song Jinfeng could reply, he ran upstairs.

"This kid." Song Jinfeng originally wanted to persuade him, but he could only shake his head when he saw this.

"I'm soft-hearted, I'm afraid you have to cry to express your resentment, so just turn a blind eye." Qiao Xiaohua, a young mother coaxing the baby next to her, continued. Their conversation just now, She listened to it verbatim. In fact, all the adults in the village understand what Grandma Lin thinks, but they don't want to interfere in her family affairs. That's why when Lin Jiangsui came back, everyone accepted him so enthusiastically. Because he is a poor child himself, but also because of the good popularity of Lin's grandma in the village.

"That's right, then you should also pay attention. If he comes down later with red eyes, don't miss him and make fun of him." Song Jinfeng said to the women present with a suppressed voice.

"If you love him, we won't be so blind."

"In order not to miss the bottom line, I went out to help the head office, right? I'll leave these children to you to watch over, but don't let them go out, it would be bad if they were surprised."

Several aunts and aunts went out smiling, leaving only Song Jinfeng and Qiao Xiaohua watching the child.

Lin Jiangsui lingered upstairs for a while before coming down with a big bag of snacks. Seeing that his eyes were really moist and red, the two of them didn't say much, and called the child to come and get some snacks.

Song Jinfeng complained while watching him handing out snacks: "Why do you need to take so much, just take one for each person, or you won't eat later."

Lin Jiang said: "It's okay, everyone take it. If you don't eat later, I won't give you snacks next time."

The children rushed forward, saying yes, and the speed of peeling off the package was not slow, and they sweetly said: "Thank you, brother", coaxing Lin Jiangsui to put a smile on his face.

After sharing the snacks, the children went to watch cartoons around the TV again. Lin Jiangsuan heard the sound of pigs outside the house disappeared, and asked Song Jinfeng, "Did the pig be killed?"

"Basically, that pig butcher's skill is the best here. He sealed the throat with one knife, and the pig died within two strokes."

"Then let me go out and have a look?"

"Go, I'll go out with you, Xiaohua, please watch over these children."

"Row."

When the two went out, they saw that the pig had been disembowelled, and the hot water in the big wooden bucket was stained red with blood.

"It looks like your Lady Wang's family is already boiling pig's blood. I'll go and see what I can do for you. You can take a look here." Song Jinfeng could tell at a glance that the pig's blood had already been drained. .

"Hey, go get busy." Lin Jiangsui also knew that following along would only cause trouble for others, so he might as well join in the fun here.

As soon as Song Jinfeng left, Lin Jiang watched through the crowd as the pig butcher dismembered the pig. First he chopped off the pig's head, and then the other parts.

[What's so interesting about this, you have to join in the fun. 】

[Curiosity, haven't you seen it before? It's a rare opportunity. 】【It's not that your cousin's family will also kill pigs in a few days, are you afraid that you won't be able to see enough in the future?Don't squeeze into the crowd, the smell is terrible. 】That’s right, how can a place where pigs be slaughtered taste better?Lin Jiang was obedient and stopped: [Then what should I do? 】【Find a place to bask in the sun, you have turned white recently, and you look sickly. 】【can you? 】Lin Jiangsui was dubious, the light in the room was not very good, and he didn't look in the mirror very much, so how could he pay so much attention.

[Hey, stay away from them and go to the edge to bask in the sun. 】

Lin Jiang then looked at the sun in the sky: 【But the sun is not very bright, and am I too out of place? 】【Those people who are only interested in joining in the fun won't pay attention to you, why don't you go to the side and watch them burn the fire, it's warmer there. 】Looking around, Lin Jiang saw someone lighting a fire under a big oil drum, it should be the smoked sausage that Song Jinfeng and the others were talking about.

He casually moved a stool over and sat next to those people, watching them chat while they were lighting a fire, but they didn't chase him away, they even chatted with him.

The pig over there worked for a long time and finally dismembered it. The pig butcher collected the money and packed up his things and left. Wang Niangniang and the others can do the rest by themselves, so there is no need to waste other people's time.

In addition to carrying pigs, the elders who were purely watching the excitement returned to the poker table. At this time, Lin Haifan also came, and he couldn't help but pull Lin Jiang and a few others to join a table of Fighting the Landlords. It's just for everyone to have a good time, and the neighbors rarely place big bets.

Lin Jiangsui also played cards with his classmates in the same dormitory at school, but he just played without getting a lottery, and his card skills were not good, almost every time he lost the most, so he didn't like playing cards , this time I added a jackpot and I don't want to play anymore.

It's a pity that the kindness is hard to come by, everyone coaxed him to go to him, and he couldn't escape, so he had to bite the bullet and go on.

Sure enough, after playing a few games of Lin Jiang Sui, he was no longer in good shape, and in the end Emperor Ming couldn't stand it: [You listen to my cards. 】【Aren't you trying to cheat? 】Lin Jiangsui knew that Emperor Hades could sense his surroundings, so he could naturally see his territory.

[Hmph, do I need to cheat on such a small matter?You just listen to me. 】【Um. ] With some help, Lin Jiangsui also gained confidence, and he fought well in the future, losing less and winning more.

The table was played for several rounds, and by the time lunch was served, Lin Jiangsui had also won a lot of money, with additions and subtractions of hundreds of dollars.

"I can't see it, Xiao Suizi, you still say you can't, it's a good fight." Lin Haifan lost again, but he was not unhappy.

"Hee hee, I'm lucky today." Lin Jiangsui said shyly, and asked Emperor Hades in his heart: 【You really didn't cheat? 】【Why, look down on me?Tell you, as long as I think, there is nothing I can't do. 】The arrogance mentioned by Underworld Emperor, he does have the ability to be arrogant.

【I believe. ] Just to steal the memory in someone's mind at him, there's really nothing you can't do, right?

After clearing the table, delicious dishes were served on the table, pickled pepper chicken feet, cold cowpea, cold tripe strips, dry-stir-fried green beans, steamed pork ribs with millet, roasted white, fried old bacon with cauliflower, smoked sausage, cured pork ribs with radish Soup... the delicacy of a table makes people move their index fingers.

Lin Jiangsui sat with Lin Haifan, and their table was full of gentlemen, they didn't eat food first, but each had a bottle of beer.

People here like to drink and smoke. If you don’t smoke, you can’t stop drinking. Even children who go to school will drink some during the holidays. Naturally, Lin Jiangsui can’t escape this wine. After drinking a bottle, he was drunk a lot , before eating a few bites of food, people are a little drunk.

In the end, he didn't remember who sent him back.
