"You have to understand this too." Hu Lin said patiently and gently.
"I understand." Although she heard it, she didn't have much feeling about it. She just went over the words in her mind.
What touched her even more was that her daughter suddenly became serious, dignified, and a little fierce.
It was different from the one her parents-in-law had, and a bit like what she saw on the village chief.
Hu Lin saw the stupidity in Li Aihua's eyes, closed his eyes, and took a long breath, "Let's cook."
“Yeah.”
Li Aihua didn't know why her daughter suddenly became depressed again, but she really needed to cook.
Otherwise, if Hu Xiaoyi comes home from work late and doesn't have any hot food, she will be held accountable.
Hu Lin looked at Li Aihua who was busy in the kitchen, then turned his gaze to the candies left by Li Aihua and went to the kitchen to light a fire.
When Hu Xiaoyi came back, he was quite surprised to see so many candies on the table.
There are so many of them that even at home I only see them a few times throughout the year, only in the summer and during the Chinese New Year when my third brother and fifth sister come back.
"Where did the candy on the table come from?" Hu Xiaoyi asked the two people while standing at the kitchen door.
Li Aihua glanced at Hu Lin and said nothing.
Just now, she made a decision on her own and made her daughter unhappy. Now she didn't dare to bring it up for fear of upsetting her daughter again.
"Yang Qing gave it to me."
Hu Lin brought the fried wild vegetables to the square table and collected the candies and put them in the closet.
"Who is Yang Qing?" Hu Xiaoyi asked.
"From the village chief's house." Hu Lin closed the cabinet door. "Whoever wants some candy can take it from the cabinet."
When Hu Xiaoyi heard Hu Lin's words, he finally understood.
"He comes to visit you, so you should treat him well." Hu Xiaoyi was always thinking about the matter of recognizing his relatives, and his idea was similar to Li Aihua's.
Hu Lin ignored Hu Xiaoyi, and Hu Xiaoyi didn't expect Hu Lin to answer him. He scooped water to wash his hands and went to the table to eat.
After lunch, Hu Xiaoyi did not take a nap, but instead dealt with the rattan piled outside the house.
Hu Lin had a lot to say, so he had to hurry.
When Li Aihua and Hu Lin woke up from their nap, Hu Xiaoyi had already gone to work.
Li Aihua continued to cultivate the land, while Hu Lin stretched his ligaments at home for the entire afternoon.
After dinner in the evening, Hu Lin went to the back village to find Zhao Ming to get vegetable seeds.
Hu Xiaoyi, who was handling the cane, saw it and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Get something."
After saying this, Hu Lin left in a hurry without waiting for Hu Xiaoyi to ask further questions.
Hu Xiaoyi saw it, pursed his lips, and looked a little unhappy.
Many people came out for a stroll after dinner. Along the way, everyone was very interested in Hu Lin's bald head, until she entered Zhao Ming's yard, when all the stares disappeared.
Following Zhao Ming into the house, Hu Lin looked around at his living environment.
The small one-bedroom apartment has everything needed and is very clean and tidy.
"Here you go." Zhao Ming took out a large bag made up of various rag bags, which also contained a bunch of vegetable seeds.
"What do you have? Are there a lot of vegetables?" Hu Lin took it, "Where are the vegetables you planted? Let me see!"
"Hey, why are you so rude, girl? You always try to break into people's houses." Zhao Ming scolded.
"You should take it home and let your mother sort it out for you." Zhao Ming turned around and took Hu Lin to the private plot in the backyard. "Why are you suddenly so interested in vegetables?"
Hu Lin didn't answer Zhao Ming. He looked at the yard full of green vegetables with his eyes shining.
I was wondering whether I should take advantage of the dark and windy night to steal Zhao Ming's vegetables.
"Why don't you speak?" Zhao Ming looked at Hu Lin who was staring at him intently. For a moment he was not used to such a quiet atmosphere.
"I don't want to talk about it." Hu Lin came back to his senses, "I'm leaving."
"Hey, you have a weird temper." Zhao Ming frowned and muttered in dissatisfaction.
After leaving Zhao Ming's house, Hu Lin went home as the last ray of light of the sun set over the horizon.
Hu Xiaoyi saw Hu Lin coming back with a package from afar and said nothing.
Hu Lin walked around Hu Xiaoyi who was sitting on the doorstep, went into the house and gave the things in his hand to Li Aihua.
"Vegetable seeds, now we are waiting for you to clean up the land."
Li Aihua opened it and smiled when she saw the various vegetable seeds inside. "I'll plant them in a few days."
After Hu Lin washed up and changed his clothes, he suddenly realized that there was no clothes hanger at home, so he turned to Hu Xiaoyi who had already gone to bed and said, "Dad, go cut some branches tomorrow morning to make a clothesline.
It’s time to wash our clothes, or we won’t have anything to wear in two days.”
Each person in the family only has two or three sets of clothes. If they are piled up for two days without being washed, there will be no change of clothes.
After hearing this, Hu Xiaoyi turned over as if annoyed.
When Hu Lin heard this, he curled his lips and went to bed.
Now she just copied the oppression of Li Aihua by the Hu family to Hu Xiaoyi, letting him experience it firsthand.
The next day, at daybreak, Hu Xiaoyi went up the mountain with an axe.
The door was old and made noise when it opened and closed. Hu Lin was woken up and looked out the window.
It was dark outside, it was only about five o'clock.
She looked away and continued to sleep.
When she woke up from her nap, Li Aihua had prepared breakfast and Hu Xiaoyi had also made a simple clothesline.
Right outside the house, in the field.
Looking out from the hall, you can see a small section of it, which is a tripod made of three pieces of wood tied together, with a wooden stick on top.
Hu Xiaoyi went to work right after dinner. Li Aihua cleaned up and continued to cultivate the land while she continued to stretch her ligaments.
In the afternoon, she took Li Aihua to the health center to get medicine.
A week's worth of medicine for two people adds up to a lot.
From now on, they both lived their lives taking medicine, but her medicine was more bitter than last time.
The first time she drank it, she felt so nauseous that she almost vomited.
Li Aihua was very confused when she saw this, "Girl, is your medicine so unpalatable?"
"You'll know if you try it." Hu Lin rinsed her mouth several times. The nauseous feeling made her feel very bad.
Li Aihua reached out and dipped her hand in the remaining medicine in Hu Lin's bowl and tasted it.
Her face wrinkled into a bitter gourd in an instant, and after a long while, she said with tears in her eyes, "It's so bitter."
Then she asked, "Why is your medicine so bitter, but mine is sweet?"
Hu Lin looked at the water tank with anger in his eyes.
Zhao Ming did it on purpose.
"The symptoms are different." Hu Lin said perfunctorily and turned to leave.
She made note of this.
A week later, Hu Lin took Li Aihua to the clinic to get medicine.
Before leaving, Hu Lin asked Li Aihua to take the small backpack and put a piece of clothing in it.
"Girl, what are you doing?" Li Aihua asked.
"When we go to Dr. Zhao to get nutritional supplements, we must not be seen by anyone, otherwise her grandma might hear about it and get worried," Hu Lin explained.
"Oh." Li Aihua nodded and went out carrying the small backpack.
Li Aihua also didn't want to be remembered by Cao Zhaodi. She had just had a few days of peace and quiet and didn't want to provoke that evil spirit.
At the health center, Zhao Ming took the pulse of both of them, wrote out a prescription, and then gave the nutritional supplement to Hu Lin.
