Wearing eighty books, the little widow turns into a rich woman

The whistle sounded, the motor chugs, and the ferry chugs out with black smoke...

Lin Lan looked at the waves on the ship's side. In the memory of the original owner, the Shilian brigade was built in the middle of the mountain. To the northeast of the brigade were undulating shallow hills stretching for tens of miles, to the west was the Minjiang River, and to the south was a plain.

Shilian Brigade is a good place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. The only downside is that the traffic is inconvenient. It takes more than half an hour to walk on the mountain road to the town or city, and it takes more than an hour to walk on the embankment after going down the mountain. The ferry boat crosses the river.

Wu Shufen often said that during the years of famine, no one in the mountains was hungry, and she used to look down on her natal family, so she also flattered her.A bag of sweet potatoes, a bag of yams, or corn can be exchanged for a daughter-in-law from Pingba.

The ferry slowly approached the pier, and when the boat came to a complete stop, Lin Lan put on her back, carried Xiaodouzi across the pontoon bridge, and walked towards the embankment.

Lin Lan was worried about not receiving the materials, and Xu Shufen was also worried about her.After breakfast, I did some calculations and found that it had been a while since they came back.

Going out to the main room, I took a look at the baskets containing soybeans and white beans, and saw that there were only half a box of soybeans, half a box of large white beans, and half a bucket of rapeseed oil.

Thinking that Lin Lan needed four or five catties of peas a day, she felt a little worried, worried that her daughter would not be able to catch them.

Wu Shufen went out and said to her wife, Lin Changyou, who was sitting on a chair smoking a pipe, "Go to the Zhongxin brigade next door and ask your in-laws if there are any peas and white beans on their team?"

Zhang Xiuqing, the eldest daughter-in-law, is the eldest daughter of Accountant Zhang of the Sino-Singapore Brigade, and Lin Changyou and Accountant Zhang are cousins. This is the case in the countryside. When it comes to seniority, they are all relatives.

Accountant Zhang is also a well-known filial son. His wife has been disabled for more than ten years, so he has to go out with his mother on his back every day.

The daughter-in-law is also good to the old lady. The old lady is paralyzed on the bed, wiping excrement and urinating, and the old lady has no bed sores on her body.

Lin Changyou also valued them at the beginning, so he married the Zhang family. The eldest daughter-in-law is really good.

Lin Changyou took off the cigarette stick and looked up at her: "Go and get some money, and send the third child to my big front door by the way, and bring me two packs."

"Hey!" Wu Shufen went to the room happily after hearing this, opened the cabinet and put the lid on her shoulders, took out a paper bag from the corner of the cabinet, and the big front door, unwrapped the oil paper wrapped on it, and took two bags come out.

She touched the front door and said to herself: "Xiao Lan, you have to speak up for your father, don't let the team see his jokes." After that, she took a piece of straw paper and wrapped two packs of cigarettes, and went out Gave it to my wife.

Lin Changyou took it, smoked the last sip silently, put the foot-long tobacco rod on the edge of his shoe and tapped it twice, shook out the ash in the cigarette pot, stood up slowly, and put his back on his back. Started to walk outside.

Seeing that he was gone, Wu Shufen went back to the house to get her needle and thread, and sat under the eaves to start working.

The youngest son Lin Guoqiang, with his trousers rolled up high, entered the yard with a fishing net in one hand and a fish basket in the other: "Mom, I'm back!"

Lin Guoqiang also has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a slender figure, and tanned skin.

Wu Shufen raised her head and glared at him: "Run to the river all day long, why don't you hurry to eat!"

"Let's go!" Lin Guoqiang stepped forward with a smile, and handed her the fish basket: "Look, I caught two foot-long river balls, a few black fish, and half a basket of Chuandingzi and Huanglading in the net today." .”

Wu Shufen glanced at it and said with a smile, "Your sister likes to eat Jiangtuan the most. Next time I get some, give her some."

"Hmph!" Lin Guoqiang dissatisfied: "I'm too lazy to give it to her."

Other families love their sons, but his family treats their daughters as treasures.Lazy and gluttonous, but also embarrassing to the family.

Wu Shufen patted him: "After dinner, take some for your eldest brother and second brother's family."

The tradition of the Lin family is for sons to live alone after two months of marriage. The same is true for Lin Guoliang and Lin Guodong. Their house is built next to the old house.

Lin Guocai and Lin Guoqiang lived with the two elders before they got married.

"Okay!" Lin Guoqiang responded and took two steps, then looked back at his old lady, "Mom, your throat is uncomfortable, and the fish cooked by sister-in-law is also delicious, let them come over and eat together."

Wu Shufen remembered the narrow-mindedness of the second daughter-in-law, and said, "Go to the pig farm later and tell your second sister-in-law, let them come to eat at noon."

The Lin family’s pig farm is counted according to the number of shares. There are five shares in total. The two elders contribute money and take up three shares.

At present, there are three sows in the farm, more than 30 half-sized pigs, and more than ten large pigs that are about to be slaughtered.

The eldest daughter-in-law Zhang Xiuqing and the older daughter-in-law Zhao Xiaohui feed the pigs and clean the pigsty, and Wu Shufen cooks the pig food.Several children help cut pigweed when they come home from school.

"Oh!" Lin Guoqiang put down the fish basket and ran away.

Wu Shufen hurriedly shouted: "You haven't had breakfast yet."

Lin Guoqiang didn't look back: "Lin Jun and I grilled fish and sweet potatoes by the river."

"He's a big guy, and he's still frizzy." Wu Shufen shook her head with a smile, poured the fish from the fish basket into a water basin, and sighed repeatedly as she watched the Jiang Tuan in the basin.

Lin Guoqiang first went to the elder brother's house next door, and said to Zhang Xiuqing, who had a round face and a somewhat thick face: "Sister-in-law, I went fishing in a boat this morning, and my mother has a cough, let me tell you to go to do it early at noon." fish."

Zhang Xiuqing looked at her brother-in-law with a smile: "You go down the river to fish again, and dad will scold you again when he knows."

When Lin Guoqiang was in his teens, he secretly propped out the family's small wooden boat to go fishing. He was not skilled and capsized the boat. Fortunately, he was rescued by fishermen.Since then, Lin Changyou has not allowed him to go out on the boat alone.

Lin Guoqiang thought of the embarrassing things in the past, scratched his head and smiled: "It's okay, it's all about my childhood, I'll call my second sister-in-law."

Zhang Xiuqing smiled and waved: "Go!"

As soon as Lin Guoqiang turned to the pig farm behind, he saw the Lin Guoliang brothers coming from the pig farm carrying manure.

The manure was picked up by the production team in exchange for work points. Since the Lin family started a pig farm, the manure in the cesspool can also be exchanged for a lot of work points.

He smiled and looked at the two of them: "Brother, Brother, I caught some fish, and Mom told you all to eat it."

Lin Guoliang knocked on his forehead: "No wonder I can't find you. Do you think you are cleaning the pigsty or going up the mountain to cut leaves?"

Lin Guoqiang hurriedly said: "I'm picking dung!" He didn't want to go up the mountain to cut the leaves. During this time, there were as many live peppers as ants on the mountain.

"Second, give him the shoulder pole." Lin Guoliang said.

Lin Guodong put down the dung bucket and said with a smile, "Here!"

Lin Guoqiang honestly took the shoulder pole that Lin Guodong handed him, and followed his elder brother to the brigade's cesspool.

Wu Shufen picked up the needle and thread at home but couldn't calm down. She kept thinking about the old man's going to buy beans, so she put down the needle and thread, closed the courtyard door and went to the pig farm.

Lin Lan carried the sleeping Xiaodouzi down the embankment, panting against a stone: Hey, hey!Relying on the [-]th road is too tiring, so wait until you have the money to buy a bicycle first.

Xiaodouzi opened his eyes and looked at Lin Lan: "Mom, I'll go by myself."

"Okay!" Lin Lan put him down, rubbed his sore arm, and led him, saying, "Let's go! No matter how late you are, you won't be able to make it for lunch."

After getting off the embankment, there was a steep slope. Lin Lan, with her back on her back, struggled to climb up, leading Xiaodouzi.

After walking for a while, Xiaodouzi felt that Lin Lan was holding him in the way, so he shook off her hand: "I'll go by myself!"
