The wild vegetables are fresh and tender in this season. We pick them and mix them together to eat. There is almost no oil.

Lu Lin smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Uncle, no need. I had already eaten before I came here. I have something to talk to my second uncle about. I'm leaving now. When you come to the city, remember to come to my house and have a seat."

This was just a polite remark. They seldom went into the city, and there wasn't much to buy. It would cost them fifty cents for the bus fare, so they might as well stay at home.

He greeted people all the way back, and when he reached the door, he saw Lu Jiandang smoking a cigarette under the eaves.

Lu Jiandang had good eyesight. When he saw him coming, he stood up and said, "Boss, why are you here? What's the matter?"

When Zhang Yulan heard Lu Lin's voice, she came out of the kitchen, wiped the water off her hands, and said gently, "Xiao Lin, why are you here? I'm heating up the food on the stove."

Lu Lin stopped her: "Second Aunt, I've eaten. I came to tell you some good news. This is what Niuniu gave to Yaya. The small package contains clothes that Tiewa and Gangwa can't wear. They've all been washed and put here. Let me bring it to Shengli!"

Shengli has grown a lot taller, and his teeth are now neatly arranged. When he heard that it was Gangwa and Tiewa who gave them to him, he grinned and said, "Uncle, why didn't you bring them here? There are a lot of small crabs in the ditch. We can catch them and stir-fry them."

Lu Lin tapped her forehead. "In April and May, the water is still cold. Don't play in the ditch as much as possible to avoid catching a cold. It will also make your parents worry. How are your grades? Have they improved?

In the second half of the year, you will go to study at your uncle's house. If your grades are not good, I will tear off your ears. Learn from your brother, understand? You can't lose face for our Lu family."

Shengli scratched his head and said stupidly, "What if I can't learn? I'm not good at studying."

Lu Changzheng and Chen Min had some spare money, and thinking that the educational resources in the countryside were poor, they decided to transfer him to the county town. Not to mention university, they decided to just enroll him in a technical secondary school so that he could make a living.

It's better than living in the countryside, facing the earth and working hard.

Lu Lin was speechless: "Even if you can't learn well, you still have to learn and let your brothers tutor you. How can you not learn? I think you are just too lazy to think about it. You have a lot of tricks up your sleeve."

Shengli smiled and said, "Okay, uncle, I will study hard."

Yaya had grown up a lot. She took the bubble tea she picked up from the mountain and ate it with gusto. She even grabbed a handful and gave it to Lu Lin, saying shyly, "Uncle, eat some bubble tea."

It is their favorite snack, sour, sweet and delicious.

Lu Lin also missed the time when they were little and ran to the mountains to pick a lot of them.

After all, there was nothing else to eat. The wild fruits were sour and he couldn't swallow them. He ate two and said seriously, "Mm, very sweet. Yaya is so good. This is for you from Niuniu. Keep it safe!"

Yaya held the big bag, her eyes twinkling, "Sister is so good to Yaya. When Yaya makes money in the future, she will buy a lot of beautiful clothes for sister. When will sister come? Yaya misses her so much."

When two people are together, they can jump rubber ropes, smash cards, play marbles, and jump on slabs. There are endless ways to play.

Plus, her sister will protect her, so she feels safe and she likes playing with Niu Niu the most.

Lu Lin picked her up, with a gentle look on his face, "Niuniu needs to study, so I'll send her over next week. You two can play together and go down to the river. Don't go too deep or you'll drown. When the time comes, you'll have to go to the hospital for injections and medicine.

Yaya's eyes were filled with fear. She shook her head and assured him, "Yaya will just play by the river and won't go deep into the river. Don't worry, uncle."

Lu Lin took out a handful of candy, gave them some, and told them to go play. He sat aside, along with Chen Min and Fang Cui.

Chen Min was making shoes, Fang Cuiche was peeling corn cobs. Lu Changzheng and Lu Changtian were not there. They were studying in the provincial capital and only came back during the busy farming season. The bus fare was too expensive.

Lu Lin lives in the county town, which is close to the provincial capital, so he comes back often. Tomorrow, he will catch the earliest bus back so as not to miss his classes.

Lu Jiandang knew that he would not go to the temple for no reason, so he asked, "Your parents called again. Do you have any good news?"

Lu Lin took the hot water that Zhang Yulan poured, took a sip, and said slowly: "My mother is in Beijing and has been able to set up a stall to do business. The signs are quite good. She asked Xiao He to tell you that if you want to do business, you can go into the city."

When Chen Min heard this, his eyes lit up and he said eagerly, "Can you really go out and be a self-employed person without getting arrested?

I have been thinking about them ever since they left. Finally, I have received some good news. Let’s pack up and go into the city.

I rented a house in the city, set up a stall during the day, and took care of my children while they were studying. "

Fang Cui also gained courage. She smiled happily and said, "I'm finally able to do business now. I'm going to the city."

She had earned a lot before, so she lost interest in working in the countryside. She worked so hard but still couldn't fill her stomach. How could she make money quickly by doing business?

She would rather take the risk than live in the countryside.

Lu Lin said in a low voice: "Just tell the villagers that you are going to the city to take care of the children's education. If you don't have money, forget it, but if you really make money, you can't guarantee that there will be other troubles.

Let's make our fortune in a low profile, and wait for the documents to come down, then we'll do it in a big way. My house is spacious, so you don't have to rent a house, just live in my house.

It's not like I can't afford to live here. How can I ask you to rent a house when I move to the city? If my parents knew about this, they would kick me out. So please stop making things difficult for me.

Besides, I am not at home most of the time, Xiao He, I have to trouble you to take care of her! I am worried about her as an adult."

Chen Min said straightforwardly: "Brother, aren't you embarrassing us? We are sisters-in-law, who are we afraid of? It's just that there are so many people, it's not very convenient to live in your house, I think it's better to live in a spacious yard."

Lu Lin was helpless. "My house is not small. Are you worried that there is not enough space for you? Don't worry, just stay here. I'll wait for your business to flourish and buy you a big house. Then our two families will be closer and closer, and we will become rich together."

Zhang Yulan was a little hesitant. "It's fine for them to go out and make their own living as young people. I'll help out Old Lu at home. He's the team leader and he's very busy.

If I'm not at home, he won't have a hot meal when he comes back, not to mention that no one is taking care of my family's private plot? I can't leave."

Lu Lin clapped his hands and gave her some advice: "My uncle is old, it's time for him to consider retirement. Ask the commune to choose someone who can take on the role.

Our family moved to the county town, and when our business expanded, we moved to the provincial capital. When we became wealthy, we renovated our ancestral tomb and the old house, which was considered a big deal.

Don't stay here and wait for others to get rich. You are still a small fry. If you want to make money, you must do it early. My mother said that if you are late, you will not be able to eat hot shit. So don't hesitate.

Listen to my mother, will my mother harm you? "

Zhang Yulan smiled and said, "Of course she won't harm me. I know she is doing this for my own good, but I feel a little uneasy. So I'll stay at your house for a week or so and see how your business goes.

If we really want to leave, we can rent a new house. How can we live here permanently? When your parents come back, it will be crowded and inconvenient. A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse.

Auntie knows you mean well and want to save money for us, but we are old and can’t always take advantage of you. Just do as I say, or I will be angry!"
