Chapter 36 Grandma
Lin Aimin carried reeds half a person's height on his back, and his waist was bent. Lin Changping and the other three also carried a lot of reeds on their backs. The father and son walked home panting.

Looking up and seeing so many people in his courtyard, Lin Aimin quickened his pace;

Zhang Hongbing saw it, hurriedly took two steps, and helped Lin Aimin carry the reed into the yard.

The old branch secretary said to Lin Aimin, "I have dried reeds at home, you should use them first."

Lin Aimin quickly thanked, "Thank you, Uncle Branch Secretary."

The old branch secretary nodded, and said to everyone: "Don't stand still."

"Go to the river and dig some clay."

"Go and pull out all the grass on the wall for me."

After a while, the old party secretary arranged work for the people in the courtyard, and everyone responded, and then rolled up their sleeves and started to work.

Sister-in-law Zhou and Zhao Yanan built an earthen stove in a corner of the yard, and asked Lin Changping to take his two younger brothers to collect some firewood for cooking.

After the earthen stove was built, Mrs. Zhou wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, and said to Zhao Yanan: "You don't have a pot at home, but I have a broken earthen pot at home. I'll get it for you, and I'll get it for you by the way." Some bowls and chopsticks."

The old branch secretary at the side heard it, and said: "I have two pots at home, let me lend you one first, and I also have extra bowls and chopsticks, so come with me to get them."

Zhao Yanan was moved in his heart, and secretly wrote down the favor. Sister-in-law Zhou's family was not rich, so Zhao Yanan listened to the old party secretary's words, and followed the old party secretary to the old party secretary's house.

The old branch secretary looked at it before leaving, and asked the old village chief to watch it here.

When we arrived at the old branch secretary's house, the branch secretary's daughter-in-law was taking out shoe soles in the house. When she saw Zhao Yanan coming, she hurriedly greeted him warmly.

The old branch secretary said the situation, Zhao Yanan was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry for the trouble."

"Hey," the branch secretary's daughter-in-law sighed, "you child is suffering too," and said, "what's the trouble, I'll get it for you."

The branch secretary's daughter-in-law put a small iron pot, seven bowls, and seven pairs of chopsticks at home into a bamboo basket, and handed them to Zhao Yanan, "Use them first, don't rush to return them."

Zhao Yanan accepted it with red eyes, thanked them both, and went back.

As soon as Zhao Yanan left, the branch secretary's daughter-in-law couldn't help complaining: "This father and mother are too cruel, they almost treat the third room as an enemy!"

The old branch secretary took a puff of cigarette, "Okay, don't talk about it, worry about it!"

When Zhao Yanan got home and opened the bamboo basket, she found that the branch secretary's daughter-in-law had wrapped some salt in paper for her. Zhao Yanan was even more moved.

With an earthen stove, pots and bowls, Zhao Yanan boiled a pot of white batter and put some salt in it.

Zhao Yanan took the bowls and chopsticks to wash, first scooped up a bowl for Lin Yin, and asked Lin Yin to eat quickly.

And invite others to eat.

Zhao Yanan cooks a lot, and the only thing their family can sell now is the white batter.

Sister-in-law Zhou quickly waved her hands, "You and the child can eat, we all came after eating."

We all know that Sanfang is in trouble now, and everyone came to help, but we didn't think about eating here.

Zhao Yanan gave way several times, seeing that everyone really didn't want to eat it, and knowing everyone's good intentions, she ate it with a few children, and even scooped a bowl for Lin Aimin.

When the sun set in the afternoon, the dilapidated adobe house was finally finished and it looked less dilapidated. The village chief asked Zhang Hongbing to take a piece of white paper from his home and paste it on the window.

Zhao Yanan had borrowed the water basin from Zhou's sister-in-law's house a long time ago, fetched a basin of water for everyone, told them to wash their hands, and re-boiled a pot of mud.

Lin Aimin and Zhao Yanan warmly invited each other, and the last of them drank a bowl before leaving in a daze.

After the people left, Zhao Yanan said to Lin Aimin: "Father, take a break and drink a bowl."

But Lin Aimin said: "I'll pick up some more dry firewood, spread it on the ground in a while, and put a few layers of hay on top of the dry firewood, otherwise we won't have a place to sleep at night."

Zhao Yanan sighed, "Then I have to eat before going, don't be tired."

Lin Aimin responded with a smile, washed his hands, drank in a daze, and went to work with his three sons.

In the evening, Zhao Yanan went to find some wormwood and lit it, and smoked the house. The room was so smoky and choking that Lin Yin's tears came out.

After the smoke cleared, Zhao Yanan let Lin Aimin and the children enter the house quickly.

The house had been smoked with wormwood, but there were no mosquitos. The whole family was lying on the ground. Lin Yin kept yawning and felt sleepy. can't sleep.

Except for her, the others adapted well. After all, they were tired after working for a long time. After a while, Lin Aimin's snoring sounded in the room.

Lin Yin thought happily, fortunately it was summer, and in winter, their family might freeze to death.
Lin Yin didn't know when she fell asleep. The next day, she was woken up by shouting and cursing.

When Lin Yin woke up, she saw that she was the only one left in the room. Lin Yin stood up, walked out, opened half of the door, and saw an old woman standing in the yard, scolding her parents;
"Lin Aimin, what did you say when you married my daughter? Did you forget?"

"My daughter will give birth to you, and I don't ask you to be rich, but you can't lose my daughter;"

"There used to be a shelter from the wind and rain, but now my daughter is sleeping on the street with you and begging for food."

"And you," the old lady pointed at Zhao Yanan, "you are also useless, you have been pooped and peed on your neck, and you don't know what to say;"

"They asked you to leave the house without leaving the house, and you just leave the house without leaving the house? Are you stupid?"

"Even if we want to separate, you should send someone to notify me and your father, right? We can also support you!"

"Look at the place where you live now. The pigsty at home is better than this one. There is not even a kang in it. You two have to suffer, and I don't bother to care about it. My grandson and granddaughter can't suffer with you."

Lin Yin guessed that the grandmother in front of her should be her grandmother with this body.

It was mentioned in the book once that Lin Changping's right hand was disabled. The old lady made an appearance once and learned that Lin Changping's right hand was disabled was related to Yang Liu, so she went to Yang's house and scolded for a day. ;
After that, the old lady fell ill and died not long after.

Xu Hongmei was training her daughter and son-in-law. The three grandchildren stood aside and dared not say a word. When they turned around, they saw Lin Yin standing at the door of the house.

The old lady liked Lin Yin very much, and when she saw Lin Yin hurriedly yelled "Ouch, Ouch", "Grandma's daughter, are you awake?"

Lin Yin nodded and smiled sweetly at the old lady, "Grandma."

"Hey," the old lady immediately beamed with joy, and leaned forward to hug Lin Yin with great effort. Lin Yin was afraid that the old lady would drop her, so she hurriedly said, "Grandma, I'm sinking."

"Not sinking, not sinking, no matter how heavy grandma is, she can still hug her."

After all, the old lady was getting old, and her arms felt sore after being hugged for a while, and she was afraid of dropping her granddaughter, so she hurriedly put Lin Yin down and sat on the door frame by herself.
