After Lin Xiaoman woke up, the main theme was crying.
Lin Xiaoman and the third child, Lin Xi, hugged each other and cried for about 10 minutes. "I'm fine now. Let's go out."
Pretending to be strong, Lin Xiaoman looked extremely grief-stricken. Supported by Lin Xi, he staggered out of the house.
The Lin family has two large tiled houses.
The tile-roofed house where Lin Xiaoman lived was divided into three rooms: a smaller hall, the large room on the right side of the hall was her wedding room, and the small room on the left was where the second and third sisters lived.
After leaving the main hall and taking two steps, the larger tiled house next to it is the main house.
At this time, there were several people crowded at the lobby door.
The relatives from the surrounding families were either Lin Dahai's brothers or his cousins. Since such a big thing happened in Lin Dahai's family, naturally all the relatives came.
Jiang Fengzhen was sitting on the doorstep. It was obvious that she was tired of crying and had turned to sobbing softly. Several aunts and sisters-in-law surrounded her, comforting her one by one.
Looking inside through the women, the men were sitting in a circle around the eight-immortals table for dinner. Lin Dahai was sitting in the main seat facing south, puffing on his pipe. The men all had gloomy faces and sighed from time to time. The atmosphere was silent and gloomy.
"Xiaoxiao, are you okay?"
"Xiaoxiao, why did you come out?"
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to lie down for a while?"
…
Seeing Lin Xiaoman coming, several aunts expressed their concern.
"Thank you, aunties. I'm fine now." Lin Xiaoman, still barely breathing from the huge blow, politely thanked the elders and then went to Jiang Fengzhen's side. "Mom, Brother Chuan..."
With her perfect acting skills and tears streaming down her face, Lin Xiaoman acted like she was inconsolable and started crying again.
When Lin Xiaoman cried, Jiang Fengzhen, whose heavy rain had turned into light rain, was infected and started crying again.
Lin Xi, who came with them, was also very sad and immediately joined the crying group.
Several aunts began to comfort her one after another.
It was past 4 o'clock and time for each family to start preparing for dinner, so the crowd gradually dispersed.
Everyone had left, and only a few family members were left in the lobby.
Jiang Fengzhen sat on the bench in a daze, muttering, "It's okay, I will definitely come back, it will be okay..."
Jiang Fengzhen repeated herself mechanically, wiping away tears from her eyes from time to time.
The fifth child, Lin Yang, and the sixth child, Lin Xing, sat on a small stool next to Jiang Fengzhen, comforting her from time to time, "Mom, don't cry."
"Mom, don't be sad, big brother will be fine."
Lin Xiaoman, Lin Yue and Lin Xi sat together, all looking so sad that they couldn't speak.
Lin Dahai was still sitting at the dinner table, smoking silently. He looked as if his back was bent by a mountain and he was extremely depressed.
Lin Shan, a young boy of Lin Xiaoman's age, sat next to Lin Dahai, with his head down, also silent.
Although such a big thing happened and I have no appetite, I would be very hungry if I skipped a meal. Eating is necessary for survival.
After a moment of silence, Lin Xiaoman stood up and walked over to Jiang Fengzhen. "Mom, don't be too sad. Brother Chuan is a lucky man. He will be fine."
With red eyes, he wiped his face with his hands, pretended to be strong and comforted her a few words, then Lin Xiaoman continued, "I'll go cook first."
"Yeah." Jiang Fengzhen responded, her face still sad.
"I'll go help."
"I'm going too."
Lin Yue and Lin Xi stood up as well. Both girls were diligent.
This main house has three rooms in total. The middle one is the lobby, and the bedroom is next to the tiled house. It is divided into two rooms. Lin Dahai and Jiang Fengzhen live in one room, and the three boys live in the other.
On the other side of the main room is the kitchen, which is semi-enclosed and has no door.
The kitchen is very large. The front half is where cooking is done, and the back area is like a storage room where food is stored. In the corner against the wall is a pile of dried rice and some other things.
After a quick glance, Lin Xiaoman ordered in a hoarse voice, "Xiaoyue, go light the fire. Xiaoxi, go wash the rice."
Directing the two little girls, Lin Xiaoman started cooking.
The kitchen has a big pot stove with two large burners and a small burner in the middle.
One stove is used to cook rice, one stove is used to stir-fry vegetables, and the small stove in the middle is used to add water. Due to the residual heat, the water in the small stove does not reach boiling point and cannot be drunk, but it can be kept for washing at night.
After washing the rice with well water and then rinsing it with tap water, put it into the stove, add an appropriate amount of water, and then leave it alone.
Lin Yue was making a fire, and Lin Xiaoman cut up the remaining half of the winter melon in the kitchen, and asked Lin Xi to pick two loofahs and two tomatoes.
Although the famine era has passed, we can only eat enough to fill our stomachs now. We only eat meat occasionally, and we are lucky to have an egg.
A bowl of winter melon, a bowl of loofah, and a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. When these three dishes are ready, the meal is almost ready.
Bring out the dishes, serve the rice, and start eating.
Lin Dahai sat in the main seat facing south, next to him sat the fourth brother Lin Shan, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Xi sat on a bench, Jiang Fengzhen brought Lin Yang, and Lin Yue sat next to Lin Xing.
The seven-year-old fifth and sixth children can eat by themselves, but they still need care.
The atmosphere was still silent during the meal. Except for Lin Xiaoman, everyone else's food was almost tasteless. Even the eggs had no fragrance.
After finally finishing the meal and seeing everyone put down their bowls, Lin Xiaoman stood up and said, "I'll go wash the dishes."
