Chapter 104 One Hundred Green Tiles Were Stolen
The next day, my sisters-in-law Xiuhong and Honghua came at around 6 o'clock.
Xiaomei left the rice in the pot and went up the mountain with her two sisters-in-law to dig herbs.
When Lin Qingqing got up, the yard was quiet and no one was around. She went to the kitchen and saw millet porridge and two sorghum steamed buns in the pot.
It was 8 o'clock when she finished her meal. The sun had just come out and the dew had dissipated.
She took out all the herbs from the empty room and put them on the kitchen roof to dry.
He also filled all the large basins in the house with water and asked a few people to wash the herbs.
He swept the bluestone slabs with a broom, took out a book from the space and sat under the awning to read.
She had just watched for a while when the three people who had gone up the mountain came over.
Xiaomei was carrying a large backpack and holding a small backpack in her hand, both of which were full.
Xiuhong was carrying a large backpack and holding two large bags in her hands. Honghua had the same equipment as Xiuhong.
Yesterday was the first time for Xiuhong and her husband to collect herbs. Since they didn't have any dried herbs stored, Honghua went up the mountain with Xiuhong to dig more and save some for the next day to collect in the morning. In the future, she wouldn't have to go up the mountain and could just concentrate on processing the herbs at home.
Xiuhong calculated that she could go up the mountain four times a day and dig two more bags each time, which would be enough for the two of them.
Xiaomei doesn't need too much by herself. She only needs to go up the mountain once every morning with Sister Xiuhong.
Xiuhong poured all the herbs on the ground, Honghua washed them at home, and then she carried a basket on her back and went to the mountain to dig herbs.
Xiaomei and Honghua worked hard and started to fix it.
Lin Qingqing sat under the pergola, drinking tea and reading, and occasionally pointing out problems to Honghua.
Lin Qingqing's life was peaceful, but the Dashan Commune in Shan City was bustling all the time...
Everyone in the village knew that the Lin family was going to build ten large blue brick and tile houses. It was also said that they would add a large blue brick courtyard. Wow, the Lin family's houses would be so magnificent. The Lin family would become the most wealthy family in the village.
The youngest daughter of the Lin family, Ru'e, married another military officer. All the villagers saw the wedding banquet. Several leaders from the city's army came. From then on, the Lin family became the family in the village that could not be offended the most.
The Lin family used to be the poorest in the village, and no one wanted to get involved with them. Now everyone wants to curry favor with them. The biggest contrast in attitude is among Uncle Lin's family.
The two families had not been in contact for many years. Now that Lin Qingqing had married an officer, Uncle Lin's family wanted to rely on Lin Qingqing's connections to arrange for their son to join the army. Once their son became an officer, they wouldn't have to worry about anyone's feelings anymore.
Uncle Lin had a great dream, and the whole family enthusiastically sent him meat and chickens, and even a lot of precious sugar and eggs. Uncle Lin was even more generous and wanted to buy cloth to make clothes for the Lin family's grandchildren. The whole family ran around so hard during those days that they almost lived in the Lin family's house.
Lin Li told his family that no matter what Uncle Lin's family sent, they could not accept even a single chicken feather, and if they did, they would be kicked out of the house.
She knew very well in her heart that Uncle Lin and his family had no good intentions.
Now that the Lin family has no shortage of food, naturally no one wants to pay attention to the gifts from Uncle Lin's family. No matter what they give, they refuse to accept it. Finally, Uncle Lin and Uncle Lin have no other choice but to confront Lin's father directly.
Since Lin Qingqing's surname is Lin, she should find a way out for the male members of the Lin family. Now that she has married an officer, why doesn't she quickly send several male members of the Lin family to the army? Raising daughters is just to let them marry well and help their parents' family in the future.
In the end, Uncle Lin also wanted to ask Lin Qingqing to find a way to transfer his eldest son's job to the city.
