Chapter 4 I found a pheasant egg

"If I marry a city girl, wouldn't it bring honor to the whole family?

Besides, I will be a regular worker soon. What about Lin Tang?

She is a country bumpkin, a little village girl. She is not worthy of me. I deserve better!

My mother has also agreed to cancel the engagement. Lin Tang and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. I will find someone who is ten thousand times better than her in the future!"

While speaking with dissatisfaction, Liu Guohui took advantage of Liu Dazhu's inattention and slipped out of the house.

Liu Dazhu was so angry that his chest hurt. He sat on the stool with his head slightly lowered, making it impossible to see his expression.

Yang Chunfang saw that her old man seemed to have suffered a shock, and poured him a glass of water guiltily.

But he was not forgiving at all, "What's wrong? Are you going to beat me up too? What can you do to Guohui if he doesn't like Lin Tang?"

"Besides, this is a new era. It's okay for young people to date on their own, right?"

"That girl Lin Tang is so dull. I've been dissatisfied with her for a long time. It's already good enough that I can tolerate her until now. What else do you want?"

Her son is about to become a worker, and then he will find a worker as his wife.

There are two people in her family who have stable jobs.

Liu Dazhu glanced at his wife and shook his head.

Women have long hair but little knowledge.

Even if the engagement needs to be cancelled, their parents should go to the house in person and cancel it privately.

Wouldn't it be nice to bring this matter to light?

"I can't make sense to you. Don't worry about it. I'll go find Lao Lin tomorrow."

Even if the relationship cannot be repaired, it cannot be allowed to deteriorate.

The Lin family is a wealthy family in the village!

Lin Tang had a broken head and was ordered by his family to rest at home. He had no chance to step out of the room.

After dinner, it was midnight in a flash.

She signed in excitedly.

"Ding, sign-in successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the good luck buff, valid for 24 hours."

Good luck buff?

Could it be a human-shaped koi?

If it wasn't so late, she would have wanted to go out and try it right away.

I fell asleep with excitement.

When I woke up, it was already bright outside.

The sun rises early these days.

Lin Tang didn't know what time it was.

Since she was no longer sleepy after waking up, she simply got up.

I washed my face following my memory.

Looking at the lint-like towel that was like rags and the toothbrush that was so rough that the bristles were almost gone, Lin Tang was speechless.

“It looks like there’s a long road ahead!”

At this time, the poor mice in the house no longer come.

Lin Tang no longer thought about breakfast and went out to try his luck.

She still remembers the lucky buff she drew last night.

Shuangshan Brigade is not small and has quite a few people.

Lin is a common surname, and every household has some relatives.

There were not many people hanging around in the brigade at this time because the villagers all went to work.

Passing through one low earthen house after another, Lin Tang wandered from the team to the foot of the mountain.

"Tangtang, why are you here? Is the injury on your head okay? Why don't you stay at home?" A skinny woman saw her and asked with concern.

The woman's name is Zhao Honghua, and she grew up with Li Xiuli.

Both of them married into Shuangshan Brigade.

Lin Tang smiled and said, "Aunt Honghua! I'm just going to take a look around and will be back soon."

Zhao Honghua moved her lips and spoke in a soft and gentle voice.

"Okay, then you should be more careful and don't stay outside for too long."

She felt that Lin Tang in front of her seemed like a different person.

The little girl Lin Tang actually looked people in the eye and replied.

Besides, everyone is starving right now, so they'd rather lie down than stand...

She actually came out to wander around?

Maybe he came out looking for food because he was hungry, Zhao Honghua thought helplessly.

Alas! In this world, when can we have enough to eat?

After chatting for a few words, Zhao Honghua hurried home.

Lin Tang sighed inwardly as he looked at her, who looked so thin that she could be blown away by the wind.

Her mother and brothers were also skin and bones, and she must be the same as everyone else in the village.

Life is not easy these days!

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Lin Tang decided to walk up the mountain.

After taking a few steps, I heard a "crack" sound, as if something... broke.

"Huh?" she exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Tang squatted down curiously and turned over the leaves and branches covering the muddy ground.

The round pheasant eggs covered with grains come into view.

"It's a pheasant egg!" What good luck.

A hint of surprise appeared in her eyes and the corners of her mouth rose.

I counted them carefully and found that there were nearly a dozen pheasant eggs, excluding the one I stepped on.

Think of scrambled eggs, egg custard, egg dumplings...

Lin Tang's stomach, which had been lacking in oil and water for many years, was rumbling, and he swallowed uncontrollably.

Take off your coat and wrap the pheasant eggs.

Just as she was about to take another walk, she heard the voices of some scoundrels in the village.

In order to avoid unnecessary conflict, Lin Tang turned around and went straight home.

As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I met the three brothers of the Lin family who were returning from work.

"Tangtang, why did you go out? Does your head still hurt?" Lin Qingmu asked with concern when he saw Lin Tang.

"It's okay." Lin Tang's eyes turned into crescents as he said happily, "Third brother, I found some pheasant eggs."

The three Lin brothers looked confused, their expressions clearly showing disbelief.

Where are the eggs in the village?

If there was, it would have been picked up long ago.

Lin Qingmu thought his sister was starving and looked at Lin Tang with a distressed look.

It seems that I have to go to the mountains again later, even if it’s just to pick some sour fruits.

Lin Tang didn't know what his brothers were thinking, so he handed the coat containing the eggs to his third brother, Lin San.

Lin Qingmu looked at the bulging clothes, his pupils shrank, and he was a little bit unbelieving.

Could it be true?

When I opened it, a bright light burst out from my eyes.

"Hiss~ So many pheasant eggs!! Tangtang, you are so lucky." Lin Qingmu praised sincerely.

Unlike him, he has never even picked up a bird's egg.

The brothers Lin Qingshan and Lin Qingshui were also shocked. Looking at the round pheasant eggs, they swallowed subconsciously.

They have been busy working in the fields outside since early morning and have not had time to drink a sip of water.

Aren’t you just greedy now?

Not to mention, in this age when it is difficult to get enough to eat, eggs are the best thing.

The last time the three brothers ate eggs was several months ago.

There are eggs at home.

It’s just that there are many children in the family.

It is also used to exchange money for things.

How could these strong men have the nerve to argue?

"Aoki is right. Sister, you are really lucky to have picked up so many at once. It would be a great achievement for others to pick up one or two." Brother Lin praised proudly.

Lin Qingshui had a face full of longing. He swallowed hard and said, "I picked up so much for free. I wonder if my mother would be generous enough to fry a couple of them. I'm so hungry!"

"Okay!" Lin Tang nodded, "I'll go tell Mom."

Li Xiuli heard the sound but didn't see anyone coming in, so she just shouted.

"What were you talking about at the door? Come in and talk if you have anything to say."
