Chapter 17 My mother told me to stay



Li Yu gave each of them 10 coins to keep as their own money. Everyone said they didn't want it and asked their mother to keep it.

Li Yu said, "Just take it if I tell you to. You didn't have money before, but now you have money, so you should have some pocket money.

Lin Hai and Yang Liu, you two should buy some snacks for the children, and buy something for your father-in-law when you go to his house.

Although Lin Jiang has no place to spend money now, there will always be opportunities in the future.

Lin He, you too, save it for buying paper and pens when you study or having dinner with your classmates.

Lin Mei, needless to say, is a girl who buys things she likes to dress up. That's it, I'll take the rest, and from now on, the family will buy things from me." Everyone then accepted the money.

There are still 386 words now, which is pretty good.

Li Yu planned to show off her cooking skills to everyone at noon today. She wanted to make braised pork. While she was cooking, she asked Yang and Lin Mei to learn from her.

After all, she couldn't cook all the time, and she didn't want to eat bad food, so she had to teach Yang and Lin Mei. Yang had a natural talent for cooking, and Li Yu believed she would soon be able to cook better than herself.

There were two pounds of meat, and Li Yu cut a piece for the old house, which was about half a pound. After all, they were Lin Hai's grandparents, so he was nice to them. Making money from the business also made the old man happy.

Ask Lin He to deliver it later and buy 30 eggs at the same time. Li Yu knows that Zhong has never been willing to eat eggs, so she saved up a lot and sold them, so it would be the same if she sold them to her.

Lin He walked out of the old house with the 30 cents given by Li Yu and a piece of meat in the basket in his hand.

On the way, he met his third uncle Lin Zifeng. Lin Zifeng was a carpenter. When he was 12 years old, he was sent by old man Lin to the neighboring village to learn the craft from Wang's grandfather. Later, his master saw that Lin Zifeng was smart and learned quickly, so he married his granddaughter to him.

Lin Zifeng is the only carpenter in the village, so he has lived a good life over the years. He and Wang have a son and a daughter. His son is married and now has a grandson who is one and a half years old. His daughter is 16 years old this year, the same age as himself, and will be married in the fall.

Lin Zifeng is a very nice person and has helped his brothers a lot. When they were bullied when they were young, his third uncle would secretly help them vent their anger.

So Lin He was very polite to him and took the initiative to ask, "Uncle San, where are you going at this time? Have you eaten?" Uncle Lin was very happy to see Lin He. This child was always taciturn due to physical reasons.

He seems to be much better recently and smiles whenever you talk to him.

He grinned and said, "I've finished eating. I came out for a walk to see how the wheat is doing. Where are you going? Why are you still outside during dinner time?"

"I'm going to my grandparents' place. My mother asked me to deliver some things to them." Lin He replied to him.

"Then hurry up, and go home for dinner after you're done. It's so hot out here, it's killing me. Uncle San is going to go for a walk." Uncle San Lin turned and left, muttering as he walked. This kid is finally starting to look like a teenager. That's good.

Lin He arrived at Uncle Lin's house. Mrs. Zhong and her two daughters-in-law were cooking. Cousins ​​Lin Fei and Lin Jie sat under the eaves weaving backpacks. Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin told Uncle Lin that this year's wheat harvest should be good. The two children were playing in the yard.

First, the two children saw Lin He come in and ran over to call him Uncle He. Lin He smiled, touched their heads and told them to go play.

Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin, who were talking, also saw Lin He coming over and quickly called out, "Here you are, come in and cool down. What are you doing here in this hot sun?"

In fact, the old couple liked this grandson very much. He was good-looking and always well-mannered. Although he had never been to school, they felt that this child looked more like a young master than the educated ones in the town.

Lin He continued, "Business was good at the stall in town today. My mother bought some meat and gave me a piece to give to my aunt to make for my grandparents. Also, my mother knew that my aunt had saved a lot of eggs and planned to sell them in town. She said she would sell 30 to my family."

When they heard him bring the meat, everyone in the yard looked up at him, even the two children playing nearby were looking at him.

It's no wonder they were so surprised. The key is that who would buy meat during the holidays these days? And she even sent it to them. Third Aunt has been a bit too generous lately, the two Lin brothers thought.

Uncle Lin hadn't even opened his mouth when Grandpa and Grandma Lin started to refuse. "What is your mother doing? If business is good, she should save more money. Just buy the meat and eat it yourselves. What are you doing with it? Take it back quickly."

Lin He quickly persuaded them, "It's okay, they still have some over there, I just brought it over for you to try. My mother told me to leave some for you."

The old couple firmly disagreed, and the old lady said, "Just buy the eggs, and we won't say anything. You can't keep the meat. Take it back to nourish your body."

"Please consider this as my mother's apology to you. It's been difficult for her these past few years, and she's very proud. She hasn't done anything for you. Now that she can finally afford to buy some meat, please accept it, Grandpa and Grandma."

After hearing this, the old lady and the old man sighed and accepted it.

He called Zhong out to pack the eggs for Lin He. As soon as he finished, Lin He stuffed the money into Uncle Lin's arms and walked away quickly.

Uncle Lin, who was about to refuse, just raised his hand. Before he could say anything, Lin He disappeared.
