Chapter 20
After eating a good meal, Lin Yiyi took the fifth brother Lin to digest food, and the younger brothers of the Lin family continued to handle the lobster, because these were all food rations, and everyone was tired and full of interest.
A total of 80 kilograms of lobster, I ate about 8 kilograms for dinner, and there were 72 kilograms left. After peeling the meat, it was about 9 kilograms. Including the 1 kilogram from yesterday, a total of 10 kilograms of shrimp meat. There are about a thousand lobster meat. Looking at the ten catties of shrimp in the basket, under the light of the kerosene lamp, the younger brothers of the Lin family smiled with relief.
Afterwards, they took a shower and went to bed.
Lin Yiyi took Lin Wudi to take a hot bath, and the kettle came in handy. She also brushed her teeth. The toothbrush and toothpaste were bought for her today by Xiao Yu.
In the second half of the night, a figure came out of the room, which was the room of the younger brothers of the Lin family. After the man came out, he closed the door gently, then walked to the gate of the yard lightly, and then opened the gate of the yard. He ran to Lin Dafu’s house familiarly: “Aunt Guilan… Is Aunt Guilan here?”
The people here have the habit of sleeping in the yard with mats in the summer. In addition, the weather is hot and there are many mosquitoes in the summer, so the people from Lin Dafu’s family woke up quickly.
Lin Dafu opened his eyes: “Who is it?” He opened the door of the yard and saw the young man standing at the door, “Second Army, why are you here? Is there an accident at home?” Dafu has this idea. Lin Daddy and Lin Dafu are both honest people, plus the usual relationship between Lin Niang and Yang Guilan is fine, so Lin Dafu also cares about the younger generation of the Lin family, otherwise, Yang Guilan will not introduce the fifth brother Lin away.
Lin Erjun said: “Uncle Dafu, I’m looking for Aunt Guilan. I…I have something I want to discuss with her. Is she…is she here?” Lin Erjun’s heart was thumping, Yang Guilan and Lin Yiyi were there today He had been listening when they were talking in the main room. In fact, when they were talking yesterday, he was listening carefully. Hearing Yang Guilan say that people over there can send their children to school, that they can feed their fill, that they can give meat, and that they can wear new clothes, he was moved. Then he heard his sister say that they don’t even want 200 red envelopes. Give it to his brother, he feels unconvinced, why should he give it to his brother? My younger brother is only 2 years old, and I don’t understand money. Besides, my younger brother gave it away. What happened to the 200 red envelope?
But I didn’t expect my sister to push this thing up today. He also said that the younger brother will be taken to the Xiao family, and they can work on their own. When they grow up, they will send the younger brother back to be raised by them. He doesn’t want to hear it. They work and earn food to raise the younger brother? So, Lin Erjun had today’s idea.
Although Lin Dafu didn’t understand what Lin Erjun meant, he still woke up his mother-in-law. However, Yang Guilan also woke up: “Dafu, you bring the Second Army in, it will be noisy outside, which is a bit outrageous.”
Lin Dafu: “Hey.”
Lin Dafu took Lin Erjun into the house. As soon as Lin Erjun saw Yang Guilan, he knelt down and said, “Auntie, please look after my parents and help our family.”
Yang Guilan was taken aback: “What’s wrong with you? Get up quickly.”
Lin Erjun squeezed his thigh fiercely, and then cried miserably: “Auntie, our family really can’t get on, my parents starved to death, and the family has no food at all, relying on my sister’s 50-pound betrothal gift. I don’t know when I will be able to eat it. My sister said she would take my younger brother to my in-law’s house, but if she brought my younger brother to my in-law’s house, it would definitely be looked down upon. I… my elder sister doesn’t want to send my younger brother away, but I am willing to go. Auntie, Do you think I can? I am willing to be the son of that family, I can work, I can read, I graduated from elementary school, I can eat less. I…I don’t want to drag my sister down. If there is one less of me, I should It can also save some food, and the family can eat more for a few days. Auntie, I don’t want 200 yuan, I’m 100 yuan, my 100 yuan is enough, I… I want to leave 100 yuan to my sister, so that they can take good care of them. Let’s live. Auntie, please, help me…” With that, Lin Erjun kowtowed on the ground.
Yang Guilan looked at it, feeling a little bit in her heart. A distant relative said that she wanted a child, because the child can’t remember things, and the older child was afraid that he would not be familiar with it, but she looked at the well-behaved Lin Erjun with some compassion.
Yang Guilan: “If you become a son of that family, you will not be able to come back here in the future.”
Lin Erjun: “As long as the family can survive, I…I can’t come back, and I’m happy too.”
Yang Guilan: “Even if you grow up, you can’t come here, and you have to write a divorce letter.”
Lin Erjun: “If I go there, the parents over there raised me, and I should be filial to them.”
Yang Guilan nodded: “Okay, then I’ll take you to the county seat tomorrow and let my distant relatives see it.”
Lin Erjun: “Auntie, can… can I go earlier? When my sister and the others get up tomorrow, if they know that I am going, they will definitely not agree. My sister is so kind and kind to us, he would rather sell blood himself. Raise tuition for us. If she knew that I was going to give it away, she would definitely not want it. I…I don’t want my sister to know, and I don’t want her to sell blood anymore, I…I don’t want her to die…uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
Yang Guilan: “You… You don’t want Da Ya to know? But if you don’t let Da Ya know, if my distant relatives take a fancy to you, Da Ya will definitely blame me.”
Lin Erjun: “I can write a letter to my sister, I will explain the situation, my sister will not blame you. If she really blames you, you can come to that family to find me, I will… I will explain to my sister. of.”
Yang Guilan still felt inappropriate.
When Lin Erjun saw Yang Guilan hesitated, he kowtowed even more: “Auntie, please save our family, Auntie, please save our family…”
Lin Erjun kowtowed so hard that his forehead was bleeding, and Yang Guilan couldn’t bear it either. She said, “Okay, I want to show you to them. If they agree, we will come back and convince your sister. What do you think? Anyway, this matter must be told to your sister, otherwise it will be bad if your sister blames me. And if you adopt it to that family, the household registration will have to come to the village to relocate, and you have to come over yourself.”
Lin Erjun: “Then…then can I go to the county seat earlier, so that my sister won’t know when I go?”
Yang Guilan: “Okay, come early tomorrow morning, and we’ll set off at around five o’clock.” It takes two hours to walk from here to the county seat, leaving at five o’clock and arriving around seven o’clock.
Lin Erjun: “Hey.”
the next day
Lin Yiyi: “What did you say? The Second Army is not here?”
Lin Sanjun gave Lin Yiyi a note: “We didn’t see the second brother when we got up, the second brother kept this.”
Lin Yiyi took a look:
Eldest sister, I have something to go to the county seat, you don’t have to worry about me.
After reading the note, Lin Yiyi returned it to Lin Sanjun: “Second Army is an adult, we don’t have to worry about him, we have to continue to fish under the big chest after breakfast.”
The younger brother of the Lin family didn’t think much about it, not to mention that Lin Yiyi didn’t worry about Erjun Lin, even the brothers of the Lin family didn’t worry about Erjun Lin. Children in the countryside were always running around in the wild. In their opinion, Erjun Lin was running around everywhere. Nothing, the only surprise was that Lin Erjun went to the county seat.
Breakfast is sweet potato rice porridge, two or two meters, two small sweet potatoes, and a little more water. After having a good meal, the four siblings continued to go fishing for lobsters. Anyway, they were going to contract the lobsters in that area. Moreover, there are not many days to catch lobsters. Today is August 24th. The fattest and most active season for lobsters is June, July, and August. Because the weather is warm, in September, there are fewer lobsters. And the lobster is not plump, and almost no lobster can be seen. So these days, Lin Yiyi is reluctant to waste time, otherwise what will he eat in the future? Even if she had already married into the Xiao family at that time, she was not afraid of not having food, but in order for the younger brothers of the Lin family to not go to fight the autumn wind, she felt that it was necessary to leave more food for the younger brothers of the Lin family.
At noon, it was still sweet potatoes, one sweet potato per person, and Lin Yiyi also brought a kettle, but the water inside was cold water, so as not to be thirsty when fishing for lobsters.
However, when it was more than ten o’clock, Lin Erjun came back: “Sister…Sister…” He called out before the person arrived.
Lin Yiyi: “Are you back? What did you do in the county seat?”
Lin Erjun was out of breath for a while, and then knelt down with a plop: “Sister, I… I’m going to find Aunt Guilan.”
Lin Yiyi frowned: “Why are you looking for Aunt Guilan? And the Second Army, get up, what are you doing on your knees?” Because there are many lobsters in the upper stream, the younger brothers of the Lin family and Lin Yiyi are all there today. When Lin Erjun came to the lobster fishing upstream, everyone stopped and looked at her.
Lin Dajun: “Yes Erjun, what are you kneeling for? Did you do something bad?”
Lin Yiyi: “…” This big brother is…
Lin Erjun: “Big sister, big brother, I… I think our family is so poor. We have no food, no money to study, and we want the elder sister to sell blood. I… I feel ashamed.”
Lin Yiyi: “…” What is this for?
Lin Erjun: “Aunt Guilan said that if her distant relative wants a son, she will give 200 red envelopes, so I thought, I will be my son, and they will give us 200 red envelopes, so that people in the family can buy them with money. For food, my eldest brother and younger brothers can also study, so I… I found Aunt Guilan. I met Aunt Guilan’s distant relatives early this morning, and they were very satisfied with me. Big sister, for the sake of my family, I am willing to give They are sons.”
Lin Yiyi: “…” Why can’t she understand what the white-eyed wolf said? Damn, it really is a white-eyed wolf. Probably in the original plot, Fifth Brother Lin was sent away, so he had no chance. This time, he did not agree with Fifth Brother Lin being sent away. He probably felt that the opportunity had come, so he just said, “No, Second Army, my sister disagrees.”
