Escape from the desert

Chapter 228 Lin Cong's Difficult Situation

Dawn breaks, and the autumn morning is getting later and later. The forest outside the window is not as green and lush as it used to be. A cool breeze is blowing into Jiang Yan's bed, blowing over her exposed face, stinging her eyes. She was shocked.

The villagers of the entire Linjia Village still got up early, went to the field to eliminate insects, and those who went to work in the factory went to work.

Lin Dong and Lin Xi went to the field early, Lin Nan also went to the factory, and the two daughters-in-law also got up early to prepare breakfast with Xie Sanniang.

Lin Bei and the others who were studying also got up early to recite articles in the morning when their minds were clear and their concentration was the most concentrated.

Jiang Yan was deeply restrained by the soft bedding, and she lingered on the bed for a long time. Seeing the bright sky outside the window, she stretched lazily and struggled to get up from the bed.

The remaining fire in the stove was warming the minced meat porridge cooked with white rice. Seeing that Jiang Yan was getting up, Tao Bai immediately rushed to put a bowl on the dining table.

The brothers of the Lin family basically didn't sit at the table for breakfast. They just stood here and there with the sea bowl.

Later, after he started studying, Qiao Le asked him to behave in a dignified manner, not only to sit down to eat, but also not to gobble up food at the table, fight for food under the chopsticks, etc. With Qiao Le himself as an example, everyone is gradually changing.

After having Xie Sanniang at home, Jiang Yan hardly ever cooks. Her cooking skills are mediocre. Even if she makes one-to-one recipes according to the recipes given by the mall, the taste is still very ordinary. The Lin family has never eaten anything good before. As long as the ingredients are placed No matter how they are made, they can eat them happily.

Now that the talented Xie Sanniang is cooking, everyone's taste buds have really been improved. Whenever there is something they want to eat, Jiang Yan will not hesitate to teach her how to cook it.

After breakfast, Jiang Yan planned to go to look at the potatoes in the backyard. The quantity she bought was not much. She randomly plowed some places in the backyard and planted them. Now the branches and leaves have grown all over the ground. It is estimated that it will be possible in more than a month Harvested.

Looking at the lush green stems and leaves, Jiang Yan pursed her lips and smiled, scooped out a ladle of water from the wooden bucket in the backyard, raised her hand, and poured it evenly on it.

"Good morning, madam." Xiao Shanzi smiled at Jiang Yan while hugging hay.

When the little guy had smallpox before, there were many marks left on his skin. After a few months, he could vaguely see some white spots, but compared to when he first saw him, his whole body was much more rounded.

Jiang Yan nodded at him, and the little guy immediately went to feed the milk sheep. The two milk sheep he bought before had already passed the lactation period, but because the children gradually gained weight, Jiang Yan also gave up buying milk sheep.

Looking at the two fat and strong milk sheep, Jiang Yan's mouth watered down. The cold weather is really delicious with mutton hot pot.

Seeing Xiao Shanzi clean up the feces in the sheep shed quickly, and then lay the hay neatly on it, the little guy works very diligently, like a busy bee. Go to clean up the horse and cow sheds, and put the excrement in buckets and put it aside.

He couldn't pick it up, Tao Bai would come over to pick it up after it was installed, and he would go down to the ground with a basket on his back and be responsible for preparing the day's food for chickens, ducks, sheep and horses. Before Shangguan Zixuan and Wangcai hadn't returned, Xiaodouzi will take them to mow the grass, and now Xiaodouzi also goes to school, leaving him alone every day.

Jiang Yan frowned slightly. After there were more animals in the family, the demand for fodder was increasing, and the weather was getting colder. The little guy could mow the grass for a day alone, and besides the daily grass food, he also had to prepare Winter food.

There is also not enough firewood at home. After Lin Dong and the others get busy, they can only find time to go to the mountains to chop firewood and carry it back.

"Xiao Shanzi, don't go out to mow the grass as soon as you finish shoveling the excrement. It's still early, and your elder brother Cong probably hasn't left the house yet. Tell him to come over."

"Okay ma'am, I'll be there in a while." After finishing speaking, Xiao Shanzi speeded up his hand, holding the shovel with his small hand, and cleaned it back and forth.

Jiang Yan turned around and went back to the house, thinking that it would take a while for Lin Cong to come over, she planned to enjoy it, bought a pack of cauliflower for one person at the mall, and there was hot water in the kitchen, so she found her own After drinking a cup from the porcelain cup, a strong fragrance came out, and the rich and fragrant tea fragrance overflowed.

She blew on it, and took a sip like those elegant classical women. Before she could feel the fragrance of the scented tea, she immediately covered her mouth with her teeth bared.

When she secretly took out the mirror and took a look, good guy, in just a few minutes, a small pile of dense and crystal clear blisters appeared at the junction of her mouth and skin.

She had been on fire recently, and there was a faint smell when she breathed, so she just wanted to drink some scented tea to reduce the fire, so as not to get ulcers in the eyes and mouth of the fire.

Originally thinking that everyone was busy, she was a little embarrassed to drink tea and enjoy herself here alone as a mother-in-law, but now she always has the illusion of stealing chickens and losing money.

Now she was not in the mood to drink tea anymore. After pouring the tea, she bought some ointment and spread it evenly on the blisters, and Lin Cong walked in from outside the courtyard.

"Auntie, what do you want from me? Do you want to charge anything?"

He was still wearing the thin autumn clothes from before, not only were there many patches, but also old and flocked. In the early morning, Jiang Yan was so cold that she didn't feel cold even after wearing three coats. No, just wearing this rotten autumn clothes that can fill the wind, the cold is so cold that the skin of the mouth is blue.

Jiang Yan asked suspiciously: "Xiao Cong, I remember that when Lin Xi went to work on the new house, you were the one who collected mountain goods in the village, right?"

Lin Cong nodded, thinking that Jiang Yan was dissatisfied, his eyes were flustered, and he said nervously: "Auntie, is there something wrong with me? If there is something wrong, tell me, and I will definitely correct it , but please don’t switch to someone else!”

He earns more from doing this than those villagers who work in factories in the village. He knows that this is because Lin Xi regards him as a friend and remembers the little kindness he had when he was a child. In order not to let Lin Xi down, he did He was very serious and hardworking, no matter how hard he worked, he never said a word, just worried that Aunt Jiang would change someone else.

Jiang Yan froze for a moment, then hurriedly said: "No, Xiao Cong, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to replace someone, but I want to ask you for your salary..."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Cong choked up and hurriedly expressed his attitude: "Auntie, you don't need to ask, let me tell you, the village receives the goods as much as it should be, and other villages receive goods, no matter how much it is. I have reconciled the accounts with Tao Bai, and absolutely did not take the middle price, except for the wages you set for me, I did not take any more money! You can just ask about this matter..."
