Chapter 4 Kick the Third Brother
“Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, put down your burden and I’ll help you pick it up!”
Lin Shu held the pole in one hand and the basket of clean clothes in the other. Hearing the shouts from behind, she put down her burden and basket, shook her sore and numb arms, and saw that her eldest nephew had already ran to her.
"Haha, sister-in-law!"
Lin Dongfa ran forward, stuffed the coat in his hands into Lin Shu's arms, took the load, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you carry the basket, this water I’ll pick.”
"Where are your grandfather and your father?"
"Grandpa and your father are behind. I ran back first."
"You are just working as a foreigner when you go to work, and you don't wait until you finish work." I don’t want to delay." Lin Shu smiled and shook his head.
A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, extremely energetic. He worked for a long time and came back to fetch a load of water. It seemed that he was not struggling at all.
Lin Shu rubbed his shoulders and followed him.
Lin Dongfa is the eldest son of his eldest brother Lin Wei. He is seventeen years old this year. He has been naughty since he was a child and has poor academic performance. After graduating from junior high school, he dropped out of school and worked at home to earn work points.
There is a three-year age difference between him and Lin Shu. The aunt and nephew are relatively close to each other and are closer than others.
“I just think that after work, I should go home quickly to eat and rest. Walking and chatting on the road would be a waste of time.”
Just like what he said, Lin Dongfa walked forward carrying the burden. He was so fast and urgent that Lin Shu sometimes had to jog to keep up with him.
When I got home, my eldest sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law had already taken the children back home first. The two youngest nieces and nephews were playing with stones at the door of the house. Some of the others were helping to feed the pigs and some were helping to pick vegetables. .
The most leisurely person in the room is probably the third brother Lin Gang, who is wearing an old green military uniform that he didn't know where he got it from.
Although the clothes are old, they can't stop him from looking good. His skin is whiter than that of most men in rural areas, and his eyebrows are raised. At first glance, the first impression is that this man is a slut.
The fact is that Lin Gang is an idle second-rate kid in Xiaohe Village.
Lin Shu raised his foot and kicked Lin Gang's leg off the wooden bench.
Lin Gang was lying on a chair with his eyes closed to relax when he was suddenly kicked, startling him. He opened his eyes and glared: "You"
Lin Shu glared back at him: "You are lying here like a big man. You, a grown man, come back with your sister-in-law and the two sisters-in-law. Don't you feel ashamed?"
Working in the team, an adult laborer Generally, it is calculated based on ten work points. Women's work points are slightly less. Some work points are seven work points, and some are six work points.
The reason why women have less work points is that women’s physical strength is not as good as that of adult men after all. Another point is that women usually finish work first because women have to do housework and take care of the family after work.
So in the team, women and children are usually allowed to leave work first, while men are always the last group to leave work.
As for Lin Gang, who was lying here at this time, he must have been lazy and followed the female comrades to get off work first.
Although Lin Gang was fond of food and lazy in his previous life, he was a smart-minded and sweet-tongued person who could coax others outside. It was he who coaxed the third sister-in-law back from a neighboring village.
After the sweet talk before marriage, Lin Gang was unreliable for decades after marriage, and the third sister-in-law suffered a lifetime of hardship.
Lin Gang rubbed the kicked leg, turned around and scolded: "Lin Shu, are you looking for death, right? Why can't I come back early to rest after finishing my work? The captain didn't say anything, who do you think you are?"< br>
“I reckon You don’t know, don’t talk nonsense to me, get up quickly and take advantage of this little time before dinner to clean out the pig manure in the pig pen!" Lin Shu dragged the stool he had just set up on and sat down, holding it up. There was a teapot on the table and he poured himself a glass of water.
"You have a beautiful idea. You want me to pick it up, but you can't go there yourself?" Lin Gang gritted his teeth and worked outside for a long time, and you still want him to do things at home. What a beautiful idea!
"If you can kill a pig, don't eat the meat!"
"You can eat a loser, why can't I eat it?" Lin Gang was a bit arrogant when he said this. "Who are you talking about?"
Lin Shu stood up, his eyebrows raised. What he hated most in his life was the preference for boys over girls. Besides, this idle man was beaten up by his predecessor.
It’s too lazy to eat and accomplish nothing.
"It's you I'm talking about!" Lin Gang said harshly.
"I think you just need to smoke!" Lin Shu was so angry that he picked up the broom behind the door and swung it at Lin Gang.
Lin Shu has been very strong since she was a child. Lin Gang has had many fights with her since he was a child. As soon as he saw her movements, he knew that she was looking for a weapon to hit someone. He instantly jumped up from the recliner and hurriedly went to Escape.
Don’t compete with women, run away first.
Lin Shu's broom barely brushed his back, not even touching his clothes. She was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and yelled: "You idiot, don't run away if you can!"
Lin Gang ran out and met Lin's father, Lin Wei, the eldest son of the Lin family, and Lin Guang, the second eldest son, who had just returned home from work.
"Third brother, there is a ghost chasing you when you run so fast!" Lin's father had a headache when he saw this unattractive little son, who didn't look serious.
"Old man, you are right, there is a ferocious female ghost behind you!"
Lin Gang left these words, ignoring Lin Shu who was jumping with anger behind him, and ran out quickly. Village, sit under the big cypress tree at the entrance of the village.
At this time, everyone went home to rest and eat after work. There was no one under the big cypress tree. Lin Gang sat on the stone with his back to the tree trunk. Coupled with the gentle south wind, he felt a little dizzy after a while. Feeling sleepy.
Besides, when Lin and his son entered the house, they saw the broom that Lin Shu had not put down yet.
The eldest and second brothers who followed behind couldn't help laughing.
Father Lin snorted coldly when he saw this: "You are a girl, how come you always like to be indifferent when getting along with the third child? Don't forget that he is your brother. When you get to the age of proposing marriage, you will always Give him some face.”
“Face is not given by others. He earned it by himself. He cheated and cheated. I think he deserves a beating!"
Lin Shu put the broom back behind the door, knowing that parents like to slap fifty each when their children fight and quarrel! Daban, on the surface, didn't favor anyone, so he didn't take Father Lin's words to heart.
But for Lin's father and the others, they might not have seen Lin Shu all morning, and for her, it had been more than 20 years since she had seen Lin Shu.
Now seeing her father standing in front of her alive, Lin Shu's nose felt sour and her eyes could not help but turn slightly red. Father Lin realized that he thought it was because he had said too harsh words, which made her feel aggrieved. He sighed and said no more.
Lin Wei and Lin Guang both felt that there was nothing wrong with Lin Shu's words, but the third child just deserved a beating.
At work in the afternoon, the men in the village plowed the paddy fields and cleared them in preparation for the next rice transplanting. The daughters-in-law and girls in the village went to the fields to plow the fields and plant corn.
When Lin Shu went to work in the afternoon, she got a job of herding cattle from the accountant. Normally, herding cattle was not her turn as an adult.
It's just that Lin Shu lied that he fell into a puddle in the morning, caught a cold, and didn't feel very well, so he asked for a lighter job.
The buffaloes in the village are usually taken care of by half-grown children. Now it is the spring plowing season. Most of the buffaloes in the village have to plow the fields, and some half-grown calves need to be grazed.
The remaining buffaloes have lost half of their original work positions. Now even half of the places have been taken away by Lin Shu. The children can't help but glare at her.
Lin Shu ignored the anger of the children. As the saying goes, old children, old children, she was in her sixties in the previous life, and she was also a child. After traveling a few hours, and rounding up, she is now also a child who needs care. .
