"No, I'll wait until the third brother comes back and confirms it before going. I don't want to work for nothing."
Lin Anxiang waved his hand. They had visited his father-in-law's family frequently in recent days, but none of them had yielded any results and a lot of time had been wasted. Now, he didn't want to go to any place that was a waste of time no matter what.
"We have no money..."
"It's because your family is so stingy that they won't lend us any money!"
Zhang's complaints were silenced by Lin Anxiang's impatient gaze.
"Go call back the three from home and ask them to dig."
Lin Anxiang returned to the bed and lay down for a while before calming down. After thinking for a while, he gave an instruction to Zhang who was still silent.
"There are so many people, the whole village must have come out!"
When Mr. Lin returned to the team from his second son, he saw a sea of heads all around him.
The ground borer, also known as the ground beetle, grows in moist sandy loam or fine soil, and can be dug out from a shallow sand nest.
These were their toys when they were children. Once they learned that these things could be sold for money, all the places around the village where ground buffaloes could be dug up were occupied.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and dig. If you say another word, you won't be able to catch up with the northwest wind."
After saying this, Mrs. Lin immediately joined the big team. She was not active in making money and could only eat the peels.
Li Boyu and Lin Shiyu, who were locked up at home, had no idea that the village was so lively.
There were no adults at home, so the two of them did whatever they wanted. Especially Lin Boyu, no one cared about him, he played with himself enthusiastically all morning.
Perhaps because he had too much leisure time, he actually took the initiative to pick up his books to study in the afternoon.
Then he discovered that his sister taught better than his father, and he, who used to be resistant to learning, suddenly fell in love with it.
Lin Shiyu didn't know what her brother thought of her in his heart. If she knew, she would only feel ashamed.
She only knows how to look at and read the contents of these books, and she can't write.
She spent almost all her time in her previous life studying medicine and had no free time to learn calligraphy. She didn't know how to use a brush.
Fortunately, the Lin family was not well off, and Lin Anru only taught them to read and write, but did not have the conditions to teach them, so Lin Shiyu could still pretend in front of Lin Boyu.
Lin Boyu is only in the enlightenment stage now, and the knowledge she learned in the nine years of compulsory education in her previous life is more than enough to deal with this cheap brother.
One of them taught while the other learned, and time passed quickly. When the sun was almost setting, Lin Anru and his wife came back, and the two stopped teaching.
"Are you hungry? Dad will go cook now."
When they came back, Lin Anru had already returned the car, so Liu was carried back by him. Even though Liu said she could walk, Lin Anru ignored her.
Fortunately, for some reason, the villagers were not at home, and they did not meet anyone on the way back, otherwise Liu would feel ashamed to live in this world.
"Let me do it. You've never done it before, so how can you do it?"
"No, just lie down."
As soon as Liu stood up, Lin Anru pushed her back down. The doctor said that she needed to be well taken care of and not overwork. Lin Anru hoped that she would spend the rest of her life in bed.
"Sister, come and help Dad light the fire. Brother, you take good care of Mom."
Lin Anru took Lin Shiyu directly to the kitchen. Looking at the pots and pans, he was at a loss for a moment.
None of the men in the Lin family had ever entered the kitchen. It could be said that except for the cook, the men here basically never entered the kitchen.
"First, dig out the rice and cook the porridge."
Lin Shiyu gave the order, saying, "Just eat her, not her cooking." However, she had a wealth of theoretical knowledge, and her father was probably quite skilled with his hands, so the two of them working together to cook a meal shouldn't be a problem, right?
The rice here is different from the modern rice. It contains sand, gravel and other impurities. If you don’t clean it thoroughly, your throat will suffer in the end.
Wash the rice, add appropriate amount of water, and then start to boil.
Lin Shiyu was familiar with making a fire, and she did it with swift hands and feet. Because she still had to teach her father how to operate it, she did not burn leaves but firewood, and placed it there, just having to pay attention from time to time to prevent the firewood from falling.
“What do you do with the liver?”
This was something Lin Shiyu specifically asked him to buy. Mrs. Liu had severe anemia, and the blood complexion of other people in the family was also not good. Pig liver was good for replenishing blood, and the price was not expensive, so Lin Anru bought it without hesitation.
"First remove the outer neck membrane, then rinse once or twice with clean water."
As soon as Lin Shiyu finished speaking, Lin Anru started to operate. Although her movements were a bit clumsy, she still did a good job.
"Then change the knife and cut it into thin slices. Then wash it with clean water. After washing it thoroughly, add white vinegar, mix well, and rinse it thoroughly."
"Is this all right?"
"Add some salt and oil, mix well and marinate for a while. When the porridge is almost done, pour it in and cook together."
These are all the seasonings I have at home, so I have to make a simple version of pork liver porridge.
"Dad, you watch the fire while I go to Grandpa and Grandma's and pick some onions."
The pork liver porridge has soul when sprinkled with chopped green onions. In fact, it would be even better if there were wolfberry leaves.
Lin Shiyu just wanted to go to the old house to pick some onions, but who knew that she went alone and brought back a bunch of people.
“It smells like meat!”
The villagers with sensitive noses immediately smelled the fragrance as soon as they approached the third room. The others sniffed hard and gave a positive confirmation.
“It’s really meat!”
"It seems An Ru has made a lot of money selling drill bugs. It hasn't been long since she even started eating meat."
Someone in the crowd spoke sourly, but his words were not echoed by others.
Others make money based on their own abilities. Besides envy, the most important thing is to ask them to make money with you. Only someone who is not in their right mind would say these unpleasant words to disgust others at this juncture.
Only a fool would do something that would annoy others but prevent you from taking advantage of them.
Lin Shiyu came back and went straight to the kitchen, and asked her father to chop the green onions and throw them into the porridge.
The villagers who followed behind her were simply ignored by her. Those villagers were so thick-skinned that their faces were almost buried in the porridge without her greeting.
"It turns out to be pig liver! I thought it was meat..."
Seeing what was inside the porridge, several villagers breathed a sigh of relief.
The prices of meat and pig offal are very different. When they don’t have money to buy meat but really want it, they will buy some pig offal to satisfy their cravings.
It seems that the life of the third son of the Lin family has not gotten better after he separated from his family.
Lin Shiyu picked up the pot lid and covered the porridge directly. If she didn't cover it up, their saliva would fall out:
"Dad, they are all here to see you."
After she finished speaking, she left the man to Lin Anru and went back to the house with the pot, as if there was a ghost chasing her.
