Lin Laosan asked in a low voice with some concern:
"Little sister, did you say that Brother Qin Er didn't hear what we said at noon?"
He felt uneasy the whole afternoon, afraid that Qin Jianye would hear him asking Lin Ran where she picked up the gold bracelet. Wouldn't that be the end of him?
Lin Ran recalled and shook his head.
"Probably not. Your voice was very low when you asked, but it got louder later. And judging by his expression, he didn't seem to have heard anything."
Afraid that Lin Lao San would overthink things, she also comforted him.
"It's okay. It doesn't matter if he hears it. As long as we hide the gold bracelet, it will be fine."
After hearing this, Lin Laosan felt much more at ease and was willing to continue asking the previous questions.
But Lin Ran still couldn't guess his little thoughts?
He immediately added a sentence.
"But we can't go there anymore. What if we get seen?"
But Lin Laosan still didn't give up.
"But isn't Second Brother Qin going to work in the county tomorrow? Even if I look for him, he won't know!"
Lin Ran pursed her lips and suddenly shouted.
"Mom and Dad, my third brother keeps asking me questions."
Lin Laosan's face was instantly filled with horror, and he stared with eyes full of disbelief.
But before he could protest, Lin Weiguo and Shen Wenfang came over with fierce faces.
Shen Wenfang knocked it down with a chopstick.
"You little bastard, are you looking for death?!"
Lin Weiguo just twisted his ears.
"Didn't you hear what I said at noon? You're being silly and yet you dare to drag Ranran along!"
"It hurts! Stop hitting me, stop hitting me. Dad, Mom, don't listen to my nonsense. I didn't do anything. I was just asking out of curiosity."
Lin Laosan just covered his head, but his ears were not saved. He kept screaming in pain.
What awaited him next was a mixed doubles match between men and women.
In the end, all that echoed in the yard was Lin Laosan's screams.
"Mom and Dad, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please stop beating me. I promise I won't ask again."
Lin Ran stood aside and covered her lips with her hands, laughing. It turned out that this was the only way to control Lin Lao San.
Humph, he deserves it. It was him who damaged his image in front of outsiders at noon. I will not wait until the next day to take revenge!
In the end, Lin Laosan returned to the house with his head in his arms, and glared at Lin Ran before leaving.
"Little sister, I'll remember you! Humph!"
It's just that his silly grinning face doesn't seem to be very intimidating, on the contrary it's quite funny.
So please forgive Lin Ran for her unkind laugh.
"You're still laughing!"
Lin Laosan's face turned red, but he couldn't do anything about Lin Ran, so he could only go back to the house with his tail between his legs.
…
The next morning, the Lin family went out together after dinner. It was rare for Lin Ran to go with them, as today was her first day at work.
Her task today was to follow Lin Weiguo, especially when Lin Weiguo assigned tasks to the team members, Lin Ran had to recognize people on the side.
This was also Lin Ran's own request. Although she remembered everyone's name, she couldn't match most of them, so it was impossible to record work points this way.
Fortunately, her father is the team leader and can still take care of her.
As soon as the work was over at noon, Lin Weiguo arranged for Lin Laosan to get the meat.
Although Lin Ran did not eventually sell the small yellow croaker for money, it still had an impact on the Lin family.
At least they feel more confident and are willing to spend money.
For example, now, Lin Weiguo directly gave five dollars to Lin Laosan.
"Go there and ask how much meat you can buy at most. If you can afford five dollars, buy it all. It's rare for our family to eat meat, so if you buy more, each person can have a few more pieces."
"Okay, Dad. I'll go right away."
When Lin Lao San heard that he could eat more meat, he swallowed his saliva vigorously and became very enthusiastic, running faster than a rabbit.
Lin Weiguo personally invited Shi Yan to come for dinner in the evening.
Although Shi Yan tried his best to refuse, how could he refuse Lin Weiguo, so he finally nodded and agreed.
…
They worked half a day in the afternoon and didn't get off work until the sun went down. On the way back, Shen Wenfang was very worried and kept pulling Lin Ran.
"Ranran, are you tired after a long day of work? Are you dizzy from the sun?"
She had been holding it in for a whole day and was worried that Lin Ran couldn't bear the tiredness. After all, Lin Ran fainted while working last time.
Although Lin Ran didn't work today, she had been running around in the hot sun all day, and she was afraid that Lin Ran would get sunburned.
Lin Ran took off his straw hat, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and replied with a smile:
"Mom, I'm wearing a straw hat to block out the sun, so it's okay."
"Besides, I just walked back and forth without helping anyone, so I didn't feel tired at all."
"On the contrary, it was you who I realized today after going to work myself how tiring your daily work is. I am really ashamed that I have never been able to share your burden before."
Although she had been walking in the fields all day, her legs now felt weak and sore as if they were filled with lead, and walking was very difficult.
But compared to the farm work done by Shen Wenfang and others, it was much easier. What right did she have to complain about being tired?
These words made Shen Wenfang feel as happy as if she had eaten honey.
As expected, my daughter is very considerate. After working for just one day, she already knows how to be considerate of her parents.
Unlike those three brats, what else can they do all day except make her angry?
Wang Zhaodi, who was standing by, immediately jumped out to flatter him when she got the chance:
"Little sister, you've worked hard today, but little sister, you're really impressive today. When you stand next to dad, you act like a little leader. That's it!"
As she said this she gave a thumbs up.
Lin Ran has accepted Wang Zhaodi, who has been acting abnormally since last night.
Although she was still a little uncomfortable with the fact that this person who only teased her all day long was now praising her in a roundabout way, she would be fine with it as long as he didn't act like a troublemaker.
So at this time she just smiled as a response.
Shen Wenfang was very happy to hear this and praised Wang Zhaodi for the first time.
"You finally learned to speak today."
Wang Zhaodi: “…”
Lin Ran covered her lips and smiled secretly.
As soon as the women came back, they started preparing dinner. Lin Lao San also bought some meat, a total of three pounds of meat.
Shen Wenfang ordered some home-cooked dishes and finally decided on the menu.
There is a main dish of braised pork, three stir-fried dishes of stir-fried pork with green peppers, stir-fried mushrooms with green peppers, and stir-fried eggs with pickled vegetables, and then a mushroom and meatball soup.
Just four dishes and one soup, just like the Party Central Committee!
Finally, serve with white rice and you’re done!
It was rare to have such good food at home, and the women were busy as if it was New Year's Day.
Of course, apart from Lin Ran, Shen Wenfang didn't allow her to help at all. Plus, the kitchen was small to begin with, and it was already difficult for three people to stand there.
Lin Ran didn't force it. She had been sweating all day and just wanted to take a shower. Otherwise, her body would be sticky and she probably wouldn't be able to eat.
When Shi Yan came over with the canned meat, he saw Lin Ran walking out of the house with her hair loose after taking a shower.
