Chapter 55 Yao Feng, remembering the past.
After returning home, Lin Shu looked at the two large buckets of loach and eels, "You two have been busy for so many days, are you going to keep these loaches and eels at home and eat them slowly?"
Lin Dongfa didn't care. It's not bad for the family to eat. He looked at Lin Gang, who encouraged him to do this together.
Lin Gang rolled his eyes at her: "How is that possible? I have enough small fish and shrimps at home to eat for a while. I am going to sell these loaches and eels to the sales department."
Watch her go up the mountain. Isn't he envious of making money digging herbs?
Moreover, since he caught so many loaches and eels this time, he did not intend to sell them to the sales department. The price offered by the sales department in the village was too low.
His ideal place is the county town. There are many workers in the county town, and some meat products can be sold at a high price.
Lin Shu raised an eyebrow, and sure enough, it was just as she had guessed.
"Our village is not close to the countryside, more than 20 miles away. Can you carry these two buckets of loach and eels?"
"." Lin Gang turned around and looked at his strong self. "I can't choose one by myself. I have an eldest nephew. He will go with me when the time comes. I will give him a share of the money from the sale."
Lin Shu smiled and walked out of the kitchen, just in time to see Liu Xiao'e walking in from the outside, "Mom, why are you cutting these palm leaves?"
Liu Xiao'e threw a few palm leaves under the eaves. I took off my muddy straw sandals and crossed the forest. Shu walked into the room and said, "The Dragon Boat Festival will be here in a few days. I want to make some rice dumplings in advance so that your two sisters-in-law can bring some back to their parents' homes to celebrate the festival."
Lin Shu was stunned for a moment, then I remembered that it is already June, and it is also May on the lunar calendar.
People here like to tie the rice dumplings with palm leaves, which is economical and environmentally friendly.
Liu Xiao'e thought for a while: "Pack more, and your two friends in the county will also give some. They helped your eldest brother and second brother find this good job."
< br>
Since they can speak up, it means they have power in their hands, and they should maintain a good relationship with such people.
After hearing this, Lin Shu thought of Gu Jiu, who had dragged her to register last time. She hadn't seen her for more than a month, so she thought that the boy's intention to register had faded away.
Lin Gang said sourly: "Little sister, since your friend has this ability, why not help me find a job? Temporary work is also fine."
Liu Xiao'e coughed: "Ahem, Third brother, can you be like your eldest brother and second brother? How hard-working are you? If you can get rid of your habit of taking easy things and shirking the hard ones, I will be so shameless as to come and ask for help. Maybe I can get you three brothers to erect telephone poles together.”
Lin Shu couldn't help but laugh.
Lin Gang glared at Lin Shu and laughed in front of her. He didn't want to lose face.
Lin Shu smiled and said: "Lin Gang, if you can really change your past, I can't help you."
"Call me by name, big or small, three times in a row You don't know how to scream anymore, right?" Lin Gang blushed and shouted with a stern expression.
Lin Shu: "I have been calling your name since I was a child. Is it too late to have an opinion now?"
The two brothers and sisters were at war with each other. Sisters Lin Xiaoyu and Lin Xiaoshuang came back from school. .
"Grandma, sister-in-law, we are back!"
Perhaps they heard the shouts of the two sisters, Xiaojun and Zhuangzhuang, who went to play next door, returned home not long after.
After a while, the house became lively, either with the sounds of children playing or the scoldings of adults.
The next day, sister-in-law He Caiyun washed about ten kilograms of glutinous rice, as well as some mung beans, red beans, adzuki beans and other ingredients.
The second sister-in-law went outside and cut a lot of yellow thorns and burned them into ashes. Then she made alkaline water and mixed it with glutinous rice. If you like to eat rice dumplings, mix in various beans.
"Mom, do you still have a few strips of bacon at home? Why don't you cut some bacon and wrap it in it?"
Lin Shu wanted to wrap some meat rice dumplings since she already had bean rice dumplings. There is no fresh pork belly, but the wrapped bacon should taste good.
If it were to be eaten at home, Liu Xiaoe would be reluctant to wrap it in bacon, but she hesitated for a while and agreed.
Zongzi are not a good thing. Since they are given to small leaders in the county, sending meat rice dumplings naturally shows the sincerity of their family.
Lin Shu went to the same forest as yesterday to dig herbs in the morning. When he came back, he brought some calamus and mugwort back home.
Speaking of the Dragon Boat Festival, Lin Shu remembered an important thing. The village had a marriage relationship with the village on the other side of the Qingjiang River. Many people in the village were married to wives on the other side of the river.
On the fourth day of May, the day before the Dragon Boat Festival this year, two daughters-in-law in the village took their children back to their parents' home to celebrate the festival. Lin Shu's second sister-in-law, Lu Yinhua, was also a daughter from a village on the other side of the river.
On the early morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, several daughters-in-law took a ferry across the river together. When the boat reached the middle of the river, a big fish floated on the river.
The big fish turned white and its mouth was still moving. The helmsman of the ferry boat got greedy and used a hand-made fishing net to catch the big fish.
It's not the Dragon Boat Festival anymore, just pick it up and add it to the Dragon Boat Festival table.
Just as the helmsman leaned out to catch the fish, the boat tilted slightly to one side as he moved.
It may be a coincidence, or it may be God's will.
Just when the hull of the boat was tilting slightly, a strong wind suddenly appeared on the river. The hull of the boat was tilted even more by the strong wind. The wife and children who were returning to their parents' home on the boat were instantly panicked.
As soon as the people on the boat moved, the boat capsized under the force of the wind.
Not everyone who took the ferry across the river could swim, and those who couldn't swim struggled desperately in the water.
People who know how to swim are frightened by sudden changes. When they fall into the water, their first reaction is to swim outward and away from the place where they fell into the water.
Because they are afraid of being caught by people who can't swim. If they are caught accidentally, then only one life will become two lives. Everyone reports to the Dragon King Palace together.
Later, people in the village said that the gust of wind was a demonic wind. Otherwise, why would the usually calm river suddenly become violent?
Can’t explain clearly.
But when this incident happened, Lin Shu was cutting pigweed in Lishu Mountain, two miles away from Qingjiang River. She remembered that there was a sudden strong wind and the leaves of the pear trees rustled.
It seemed like countless hands were applauding. I still remember that she was so frightened that the hairs on her body stood up. She ran home with the basket in hand, not even asking for pigweed.
Only when I returned to the village did I realize that something had happened.
Her second sister-in-law was also on the boat that day, and she also fell into the water.
However, fortunately she did not take the child back to her parents' home, so it was not a burden, and besides, she knew how to swim. On the river, she persisted until rescued by a nearby boat.
During the Dragon Boat Festival this year in my previous life, two wives in the village died in Qingjianghe. Lin Shu wanted to avoid this, but it didn't happen. Even if she told her, no one would believe her. Maybe the wives who were going to cross the river to see her off would think she was cursing them to die a good death.
The villagers turned into enemies instantly!
Lin Shu hung the herbs outside to dry and found that the two sisters-in-law were still making rice dumplings. He walked to the kitchen and said to Liu Xiao'e who was cooking: "Mom, the rice dumplings are made today. How about I go there tomorrow?" The county is celebrating the festival, so let the sisters-in-law also go to celebrate the festival tomorrow?”
Liu Xiao’e stopped cutting vegetables and looked at it in confusion. Xiang her: "I didn't ask them to go back when they want. They can go whenever they want."
Lin Shu winked at Liu Xiao'e: "Mom, the family will be very busy during the Dragon Boat Festival. You let my sister-in-law and the others If I go to see you off early, I won’t be able to help you when I come back, and you’ll be relaxed.”
