Not long after, Lin Ye returned from work, followed by Luo Hao, who was smiling broadly.
Lin Chunhua urged them to quickly wash their hands and feet, while she quickly filled several bowls with rice.
As soon as the rabbit meat hot pot was opened, a rich aroma filled the air.
As soon as Luo Hao entered the house, he eagerly picked up his rice bowl.
Next door, Lin Gou Dan, lying on the bed, smelled the aroma of rabbit meat again, almost drooling, and clamored for Wang Xiu Qin to come over and beg for some.
Wang Xiuqin peered through the window of the west room, but the steaming heat had fogged up the glass, making it impossible to see clearly.
Seeing her acting suspiciously, Lu Wanqing quickly drew the curtains.
The room was dark, so Lin Ye casually lit a kerosene lamp.
These days, you have to keep a little bit of good food to yourself, otherwise people will have their eyes on it.
Seeing that the curtains were drawn, Wang Xiuqin moved to the tightly closed door. Through the door, she cautiously smiled and said:
"Is Lin Ye here? Gou Dan's leg is lame, and he wants to eat some rabbit meat to help him recover. Could you please serve him a bowl?"
After receiving no response for a while, she continued, "Even finishing the soup would be fine. As the eldest brother, you wouldn't be so stingy, would you?"
At that moment, the door was opened from the inside.
Wang Xiuqin felt smug, realizing she was too shy; she should have asked for more.
To everyone's surprise, it was Luo Hao who went out.
He stood at the doorway, holding a bowl of rice filled with rabbit meat, blocking the entrance like a wall.
Wang Xiuqin tried to look inside, but couldn't see anything.
Luo Hao took a bite of rice and chuckled, "Aunt Lin, what bad luck, the rabbit meat is all gone."
Before the Lin family split up, Luo Hao would play with Lin Ye. Whenever it was mealtime, especially when they had prepared delicious food, Wang Xiuqin would find a way to get rid of him before they could eat.
He's so petty, he still remembers it!
Wang Xiuqin hadn't forgotten, and faced with Luo Hao's obstruction, she had no choice but to leave dejectedly. "What's the big deal? It's just a meal of rabbit meat. I'll go and buy a few pounds of meat to eat tomorrow."
Lin Gou Dan didn't get any rabbit meat and kept complaining, so she had no choice but to immediately go to the commune's supply and marketing cooperative to see if there were any meat bones left.
At least the meat bones could smell a bit of meat; otherwise, given her son's behavior, she wouldn't be able to get a good night's sleep if he wasn't satisfied.
In the west room, the group ate and chatted, and soon finished the rabbit meat, leaving not a drop of broth.
Luo Hao rubbed his round belly, feeling very satisfied: "It's been a long time since I've eaten this much."
As he was about to leave, Lu Wanqing took out a bowl of rabbit meat from the cabinet and handed it to him, saying, "Take it back and let Luo Shen and the others have a taste."
His family is large, so only one person could have a bite, but it was already the envy of countless people.
On his way home, he carefully hid the rabbit meat and carried it with him, afraid that it would be intercepted along the way.
After Luo Hao left, Lin Chunhua started clearing the dishes. Inadvertently, a pair of chopsticks fell onto the bed.
She quickly grabbed a towel to wipe it, but the sheets were still stained with a lot of oil.
"It's alright, I'll just wash myself by the river tomorrow," Lu Wanqing reassured her.
Lin Chunhua then ignored the bedsheets and took the bowl and chopsticks to the well.
There was a well in the yard. She used the crank to draw a bucket of water and began to wash the dishes.
Lin Ye and Lu Wanqing were busy tidying up the table.
Another busy day has passed.
After finishing their work, the group took a walk in the sunset, with Snowball running around their feet.
Lu Wanqing felt that this kind of life was so pleasant, and she really wanted to continue like this forever...
The next day was a rest day for the brigade. After breakfast, Lin Ye put on his straw hat, carried a hoe, and went to work on his private plot. Lin Chunhua followed closely behind him, saying she would help him pull weeds.
Lu Wanqing changed the bed sheets, put them in a basin, and carried it to the riverbank.
Large items like bed sheets and duvet covers are usually washed in the river because they are easy to clean.
Of course, there is another reason: the riverside is a small gossip hub where old ladies and young wives can come here to do laundry and chat and joke around.
The riverbank was already occupied by several middle-aged women and young wives, who were chatting enthusiastically about the Lin family's affairs!
"Have you noticed? Ever since the Lin family split up, Wang Xiuqin in the east has been having a run of bad luck. Not only did she lose money, but Gou Dan's leg was also broken..."
"It's all because she's malicious. Last time, when money was stolen, it was clearly Gou Dan who took it, but she forced Lin Ye to pay it back and even cast such a vicious curse. Any family with a daughter should be careful not to marry Gou Dan, or she might give birth to a son without an anus..."
"It's strange, ever since Lin Ye married that educated youth from the city, his luck has been off the charts. I heard that last night, they had rabbit meat, and they ate two at once! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water..."
"That educated youth from the city is quite a character, isn't he? He made Grandma Feng very happy and even made clothes for her. How much did one dress cost again... yeah, 30 jin of rice... That's outrageous... Who the hell is so stupid as to spend so much money just to make a dress..."
As they were talking, water splashed up from the water in front of them, landing on their faces and clothes.
An older woman was about to get angry when she turned around and saw that it was Zhao Xiaolan and her daughter-in-law Lu Wanqing.
The one who threw the stone was Elaine Chao.
The old woman immediately fell silent. They must have overheard their gossip.
Elaine Chao is a crazy woman; she doesn't understand anything. She throws stones just for fun.
