Chapter 139: Stingy and Vengeful

The second brother told the story slowly and leisurely.

Mrs. Lin was so angry that she laughed after hearing this: "This Tang Juanzi, who is praised by those young men in the village, really thinks she is some kind of peerless beauty? She is ugly and stupid, yet she has the nerve to be picky. She doesn't even look in the mirror!"

The second brother added: "Come to think of it, Shen Jue gave me some advice, and I think it makes sense."

He picked out some of Yan Shenjue's words and said a few words to Madam Lin.

Although he also admitted that what Yan Shenjue said made sense, and these people were indeed nothing and there was no need to take them seriously, he just wanted to curse back. He didn't want to suffer even the slightest loss. If others disgusted him, he would definitely disgust them back.

He is such a vulgar person, indulging in mortal happiness, stingy and vengeful, unlike people like Yan Shenjue.

It’s vulgar, it feels good to scold him anyway.

Mrs. Lin listened to her son and thought about it seriously for a long time. Then she said, "It sounds like that, but how can we get to the next level?"

She looked at her daughter who was playing with the fox and said, "How about we keep this fox and tell people it's a fairy?"

Second brother: “…”

He said to his mother very gently: "Let Daddy worry about such trivial matters, why should Mom care about it."

"That's fine," said Madam Lin, "I hate this kind of brain-intensive stuff, so let your father do it!"

Then she returned to the original topic: "Tang Juanzi, you have a face bigger than a millstone, and you still have the nerve to look down on my son..."

When Xinbao heard the word "millstone", he suddenly remembered and turned around and said, "Persimmon!!"

Madam Lin asked, "What?"

"Persimmons, millstone persimmons," the second brother said with a smile, "Shen Jue brought Xinbao back from the mountain with a basket of millstone persimmons."

He searched back and forth and pointed to the corner of the courtyard. Mrs. Lin went over to take a look and said, "Wow, it's so big!"

She quickly found a jar, put the persimmons in it, and poured warm water into it. The persimmons were 80% ripe, so the water didn't need to be too hot. If she placed it next to the stove at night, the water would not get cold for a long time, and some of them could be eaten overnight.

Xinbao followed behind with her short legs. The second brother pulled her aside and asked her, "Xinbao, let me ask you, what vegetables can be grown in the greenhouse?"

"Hmm?" Xinbao thought for a moment and said, "You can plant anything!"

You can grow some of the most commonly used seasonings such as onions, ginger, garlic, coriander, and garlic sprouts. These will never be a problem to sell, and anyone who can afford them will want to buy some.

Then green vegetables, such as cabbage, Chinese cabbage, spinach, celery, lettuce, and chrysanthemum...all can be planted.

In this era, Chinese cabbage was called cabbage, and Chinese cabbage was called white cabbage. There are no cabbages, cauliflowers, or tomatoes like in later times...

Of course, the best things to grow quickly and harvest in batches are garlic sprouts, mushrooms and broadleaf aloe, which was later called wood ear vegetable. In short, these are the things.

The second brother listened and asked questions, and by the time Mrs. Lin finished and came out, he had almost figured it out.

He asked Mrs. Lin: "Will you build a greenhouse tomorrow?"

"Yes, that's right," said Madam Lin, "I heard from your father that we will start to make it tomorrow. Da Yuan has found a few craftsmen who can make warm walls and warm kangs. I thought that after the warm shed is built, we can make the kang in our new house into a warm kang as well."

The second brother asked, "Can we do it on the second floor?"

"Isn't the second floor okay?" Madam Lin said, "I'll ask tomorrow. If not, we can build two more kangs downstairs. When it's cold in winter, we can live downstairs. Besides, if we have guests coming over, we need a kang."

Brother Tang San said: "I'm not afraid of the cold, I don't need to do it."

Madam Lin said, "If you want to talk about being afraid of the cold, only Xinbao and your second brother are afraid of the cold in the family, but if you want to do it, do it. If you are not afraid of the cold, you just don't have a fever when the time comes."

Brother Tang San said "Oh".

Then Madam Lin remembered and asked him, "Did Da Yuan finish teaching you that set of kung fu?"

Because Xinbao likes to call Big Yuan brother and Little Yuan brother, the family members can't help but follow suit. Brother Tang San said: "It was Little Yuan who taught me. After I finished teaching, there are a total of thirty-six moves."

Madam Lin raised her eyebrows, and the second brother was also very surprised: "Thirty-six moves? You learned so many in just one morning?"

Is this still his brother who had nails all over his body when he went to school? Brother Tang San felt a little embarrassed when they looked at him, and he laughed: "I don't know, I'm stupid, and I was afraid I couldn't remember it, so I tried hard to remember it, and it didn't take much effort to remember it."

The second brother nodded: "It seems that when you encounter something you are willing to learn, it is different."

Madam Lin said, "Who said you are stupid? How could my son be stupid? Not being able to study and being stupid are not the same thing! Isn't he very smart?"

After smoothing her hair, she asked, "Come over so I can take a look?"

Brother Tang San immediately cleared away the stones and stools in front of him, picked up his sister like a ball, put her in A Niang's arms, cleared a large space, and then started practicing.

He was born with supernatural powers, but had never learned Kung Fu, so his movements were obviously a little clumsy and not very smooth, but his silly eyes were shining, and it was obvious that he really liked it.

Madam Lin kept praising him: "Not bad! Not bad! He was able to do this well in his first try. My son is amazing!!"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Xinbao was also clapping his hands vigorously, "That's awesome! That's the best! That's the hero!!"

Tiehanhan was praised by them and worked even harder, playing with great vigor.

The second brother glanced at them with a smile on his face.

His mother would never say a bad word about them unless she was joking. She would discipline them and scold them, but in her heart, her children were obviously all the best. Even if Shitou's wife came to the door like just now, most mothers would scold their children first without thinking twice. It was not wrong, but he still preferred his mother's willful protection of her children.

Xinbao clapped his hands and suddenly remembered something important.

She turned around and said, "Mother, Xinbao wants to learn Kung Fu!"

Madam Lin said, "No."

"Why?" Xinbao opened his eyes wide: "Xinbao wants to be as awesome as my mother! My mother is the most awesome!"

But this time, Madam Lin was not persuaded by the flattery: "Baby, it's really not possible. Your father won't agree. Your father hates little girls playing with swords and guns the most. Xinbao, just study, okay?"

Tuanzi tilted his head in confusion: "But my mother also learns Kung Fu?"

Madam Lin sighed, "It's because my mother is also learning Kung Fu... Alas! Anyway, Daddy doesn't like it. Daddy doesn't like Xinbao learning, and he doesn't like my mother learning Kung Fu either."

Xinbao opened his eyes wide in confusion.

She recalled the time when she dealt with Gao Heixiong, and the way A'niang walked out of the woods. Even her footsteps seemed light and brisk. She looked so free and comfortable, like a bird that had broken free from its restraints, lightly spreading its wings and soaring among the clouds.

The second brother coughed when he heard this.

He was born to be thoughtful and had long known that this was Mrs. Lin's concern.

But he was just a child after all, and he didn't know how to comfort his elders with their emotional entanglements.

The second brother went over to send Tiehanhan away, and told him to go to Yuan's house to see if there was any work. Then he turned around and changed the subject: "Mother, is this fox hungry? Should we feed it something? What does it eat?"

Madam Lin turned around and took a look, "What else can he eat? Meat? I'll give him some meat to try."

She put her daughter down and had already walked two steps out when she heard Xinbao say, "You're not right!!"
