The splendid youth of the farm gate

Chapter 152
"It's all mother's fault. If I knew it earlier, I should have bought some buns for you to eat on the way." Lin said with self-blame.

"It's okay, mother, anyway, we are almost at Grandpa's house." Luo Xiaojiang said from behind.

According to Lin's meaning, she actually didn't want to go to her father's house, she was a person who couldn't hide things, but, as Xiaotao said, even if father knew about this matter, it would only add one more person to be sad.

"Mother Guoer," Lin said to Luo Xingzu, "Why don't you send the things in later, and I'll take Guoer and the others home."

Lin still wants to be an ostrich.

Luo Xingzu was about to nod, but Qing Guo disagreed.

"Mom, I'm really too hungry to walk, let's go to Grandpa's for dinner."

"Guo'er, your mother..."

"I know, mother is afraid that grandpa will know about the third uncle's taking a concubine, but if we keep it a secret, won't others tell grandpa?" Qing Guo said.

Qingguo has actually thought about this question for a long time. Now it is the end of the year, and all the villages go to the town to buy new year's goods.That Liu Sanfeng looked restless, so he must have been running to the roasted seeds and nuts shop a lot.Instead of Lin Shanwen hearing it from someone else, it's better to let Mrs. Lin tell him, so that he is also prepared.

"But……"

"Oh, it's nothing to worry about." Qingguo shook her head and said, "Taking concubines is not something that was brought up today, I really think it's better to let grandpa and grandma know about it earlier, so that even if the third aunt has some grievances and goes back to her mother's house, they will be fine." You won't blindly blame Third Aunt, will you?"

Lin nodded.

She still knows what kind of people her parents are.

Whenever the three daughters had any quarrel with their son-in-law, they always scolded their own daughter indiscriminately first.Lin Xiaotao is the youngest daughter. She and Qiaoqiao were the ones who pampered her when she was young. When her temper got stubborn, even a few cows couldn't pull her back.For such a big matter as taking a concubine, can she not feel wronged?
Thinking of this, Lin couldn't help agreeing with Qing Guo's words, and said: "Guo'er is right, it's better for me to tell my father and mother about this, so that they won't be sad and offended by others. "

What else can Luo Xingzu say?
"Okay, let's go then."

Having made up their mind, the family went to Lin Shanwen's house.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Zhong was preparing to make lunch when she suddenly heard "Grandma" shouting, and she hurriedly said to Lin Zhengda who was helping to light the fire: "It seems that Guoer and Xiaolai are here, go and have a look."

"Hey." Lin Zhengda walked out, and sure enough, he saw Qingguo and his group, and quickly turned to Zhong and said, "Mother, it's Guoer and the others, and my eldest sister is here too."

Zhong put away the things in his hand and walked out.

"Why is it here at this time? Haven't you eaten yet?"

"Grandma, I'm almost starving to death, you should cook more for lunch." Luo Xiaojiang said while slumped in the bamboo chair with his stomach in his arms.

Zhong was taken aback, and couldn't help looking at Lin, and when he saw the basket Luo Xingzu was carrying, he asked, "Are you coming back from town?"

"Well, I went to the town to buy some new year's goods." Lin said.

Zhong couldn't help but asked strangely: "Didn't you go to Xiaotao's?"

"went."

"Then why didn't Xiaotao let you eat?"

"Stay, I won't."

Zhong was at a loss.

Lin didn't want to talk about anything at this time, so she urged Zhong to say, "Mother, haven't you cooked lunch yet? Then let me help you."

"Hey!"

Although Mrs. Zhong still had something to ask, she turned and went into the kitchen without further delay when she saw the third Qingguo sibling who was starving.After a short pause, Mrs. Lin followed in.

Lin Zhengda quickly went to the vegetable field and called Lin Shanwen back.

When Luo Xingzu was taking out the meat and wine in the basket, Lin Shanwen came back.

"Father-in-law, this is something we bought for you for the New Year. There are not many things, so don't dislike them."

Lin Shanwen looked at the two jars of wine in the corner, a piece of meat and the slightly scattered frosting wrapped in oiled paper, and hurried forward to put the things back into the basket.

"It's not easy for you. Why buy so many things? Take them back and share some with your father and mother. I don't need them here."

"My father and mother have it, you keep it, this is for you." Luo Xingzu stopped Lin Shanwen.

After some refusal, seeing that the refusal failed, Lin Shanwen didn't insist anymore, but asked Lin Zhengda to pour two bowls of hot water, and asked Luo Xingzu to sit down and drink tea.

Lin Shanwen looked in the direction of the kitchen, lowered his voice and asked, "Why didn't you eat at Xiaotao when you went to town?"

Luo Xingzu was silent for a while, he is a man and a son-in-law, some things, it is convenient for Lin to say, but he is not easy to say.After thinking about it, he replied, "Mother Guo'er refuses."

"Xiaotao and Osmanthus are the best friends. Osmanthus rarely comes out. Even if Osmanthus refuses, Xiaotao won't let her sister come back hungry like this?"

"..."

Luo Xingzu looked at Lin Shanwen in a daze.

"Is there something wrong?" Lin Shanwen sighed and said, "Just tell me if there is something wrong. I'm old and I haven't experienced anything."

"Ah!" Luo Xingzu sighed, and said in a muffled voice, "Bao Zhong took a concubine!"

"Just because of this?" Lin Shanwen couldn't help but blamed Lin, "Osmanthus knew about Baozhong's concubine, how could it be Xiaotao's fault, Osmanthus..."

Knowing that Lin Shanwen had misunderstood, thinking that Lin's reluctance to eat was because of anger, Luo Xingzu sighed again and explained: "Father-in-law, Osmanthus saw that concubine that Bao Zhong accepted!"

"Oh...what?" Lin Shanwen suddenly raised his head to look at Luo Xingzu, stared at him, and asked with a trembling voice, "Who did you see? Didn't you mean the next year? Why..."

There was a stiff smile on Luo Xingzu's face, and he didn't make another sound.

Lin Shanwen's lips trembled, and he didn't say a word for a long time. His light gray eyes were full of indescribable worry and sadness.

"Father-in-law, don't be sad, it's good for him to treat Xiao Tao loyally." Luo Xingzu persuaded Lin Shanwen.

Lin Shanwen waved his hand, there are more people in the middle, good and bad, how can it be so simple and clear!
In the kitchen, the kitchen knife in Zhong's hand also "clanged" at this moment, fell off the chopping board, and almost landed on her instep.Lin was so frightened that she jumped up and rushed forward, and asked repeatedly: "Is there any injury? Why are you so careless? Let me see."

Zhong held down Lin's hand, looked up at her with tears in his eyes and asked, "You said, you saw that concubine Bao Zhongna?"

Lin nodded, sniffed, and persuaded softly: "Xiaotao won't let me tell you and dad, she's afraid you and dad are worried."

Zhong shi covered her face and squatted down, sobbing and crying.
