Chapter 137: The Stone of Waiting for Husband

She put the cake down, spit out the piece in her mouth and sipped it a little, "Good things should be savored slowly."

Of course, she didn't dare to throw it away, for fear that Lin Shu would no longer give it to her.

She looked at Jie Jinkui, "Eat it, eat it in big mouthfuls, such a good medicine cake, can't be wasted, it will cool you down and relieve heat."

Jie Jinkui forced himself to frown and stretched his neck to take a bite, and didn't want to take a second bite.

Lin Shu also advised Old Lady Jie to eat more, "Grandma, it's good for your body. This is a recipe in a medical book. In ancient times, rich people ate medicinal food and medicine cakes. I really added a lot of good herbs in it. My father-in-law will scold me if he knows."

Jie Jinkui wanted to scold her for being sick, why take medicine for no reason?

But Old Lady Jie believed it!

Because someone in the village went to Lujiazhuang to ask Old Man Lu for acupuncture, saying that his acupuncture was very effective. Originally, the arm could not be lifted, but he gave a few massages, acupuncture and scraping, and the arm could move.

Old Mrs. Xie could not bear the hardship, so she said to Xie Jinkui: "This is a good thing, I can't bear to eat it, Jinkui, take it to your parents and your wife and children to share."

She also winked at him, telling him not to give it to his sister-in-law and others, and to eat the good things himself.

Seeing that the medicine cake was handed to her, Lin Shu didn't stay for a minute longer and stood up to say goodbye.

Panpan was still talking nonsense to Grandma Jie, "Grandma, let me tell you quietly, my mother used some good stuff in it, there are more than ten pieces of medicinal materials, my grandfather will scold my father if he knows about it."

Tiantian added, "Yes, there are angelica, astragalus, codonopsis, poria..."

She told Grandma Jie some of the names of medicines she saw in her grandfather's medical books, no matter whether they were true or not, the old lady didn't understand anyway, and couldn't remember them.

But Grandma Jie knew a little bit, she knew that poria was good, and that angelica replenished qi and blood.

Yes, it was good stuff!

After Lin Shu led the children away, Grandma Xie went to her eldest grandson's room and asked him to eat the medicine cake carefully, "I can't bear to eat it, please don't waste it."

This is a good thing, but she doesn't like it because it's too bitter, so she gave it to her most beloved eldest son and grandson.

Xie Jinkui finally couldn't stand it anymore, "Grandma, she's teasing you, this is just wild vegetables for feeding pigs, wild vegetable cakes eaten by the poorest families."

Seeing that he actually talked back, Grandma Xie said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? How old am I, your grandma, and how much experience do I have? How can I be worse than you? In the past, Grandpa Xie's family in the village made medicine cakes like this, and Qingming dumplings, you have never heard of them."

Seeing that his grandma was so sure, Xie Jinkui thought it might be true, and he bit the bullet and took a bite, but he couldn't swallow it. It was rough and bitter, and hard to swallow.

He was used to eating fine grains, but he couldn't stand this.

He coaxed Mrs. Jie, saying that he would eat it, and coaxed Mrs. Jie to go out for a walk.

Mrs. Jie went back to the house, put on new red trousers, tied the belt down, and showed the bright edge of the red trousers a little, and then went to chat with other old ladies of the same age.

She was still muttering, "It's really boring now. I don't see many people when I go out. Why don't people come out to play?"

Jie Jinkui was not happy. Don't you think about it? You are old, how many people can survive you?

They are all dead!

When Uncle Jie, Aunt Jie, Jie Jinkui's wife, brother and other family members came back, Jie Jinkui gave them medicine cakes.

"My cousin gave my grandma some medicinal biscuits, saying they have many benefits. My grandma was reluctant to eat them and asked us to replenish her body, saying they can relieve heat and summer heat." The

eldest aunt curled her lips and said sarcastically, "Forget it, how could she be willing to give me such good things?" She glanced at her eldest son, "In the past, she showed off all the good snacks that damn girl sent to her, and didn't give you a single bite. How can she be so kind now?"

Jie Jinkui: "Mom, how can my grandma be false when she is kind to me? She didn't give it to you originally, but let me and my dad eat it. I feel sorry for you."

Uncle Jie was even more picky than Jie Jinkui. He took a bite and spit it out, saying, "What kind of pig food are you giving us? I can tell that girl has no good intentions. I will scold her next time she comes to see me."

Jie Jinkui's wife also vomited after taking a bite, and several children all vomited after taking a bite.

The food that my younger brother, his wife, and the children usually eat is not as good as that of Jie Jinkui and his friends. Although it is bitter and unpalatable, it is food after all. They force themselves to eat one, and they are reluctant to throw it away.

Finally, Jie Dajiu said, "Okay, such unpalatable things, give them to your second uncle and his friends."

The eldest aunt had to say, "It's not because it tastes bad that we give it to him, it's good stuff, medicine cakes, cool and relieve summer heat, the old lady is reluctant to eat it, so she gave it to us, and we are reluctant to eat it, so we give it to the second uncle."

She sent her daughter-in-law to carry a bag of food and throw it to Jie Erjiu, saying that it should not be left here to be an eyesore.

The shit-green cakes look like cow feces, and only a fool would eat them.

At noon, Jie Erjiu and his aunt came back to eat.

Because they had been given medicine cakes, the eldest aunt did not let them cook.

Second uncle Jie did not argue. He tasted it and found that the vegetable cake was better than the dried sweet potatoes he usually ate.

Some of the dried sweet potatoes that were usually steamed and cooked were moldy and spoiled, and they made people feel heartburn and acid reflux. Although this vegetable cake was bitter, it was made of cornmeal and sticky yellow rice, as well as wormwood, mint, and bitter herbs. It was delicious!

He and the second aunt ate until they were full.

The eldest aunt's mouth still had a bitter taste, and she couldn't rinse it out, so she kept complaining.

"You say you are filial, but you only bring me two small snacks every time, and you say nice things."

"Only your grandma is greedy and easy to please. You say she is good with two small snacks and a pair of ragged pants."

"Do you think a few shabby wild vegetable cakes sent here today are good things? Do I want them? You are really old and confused."

It happened that old lady Jie came back with a stick. When she entered the house, she heard the eldest daughter-in-law saying bad things about her, and she got angry immediately. She

has always been the one who scolds others, and no one scolds her!

She was so angry that she rushed inside with her head, and her little feet moved very fast, and she cursed: "You black-hearted and rotten lung whore, you eat the food of my old Jie family, and scold my mother!"

Seeing her coming in, the eldest aunt was so scared that she immediately became as scared as a quail and dared not speak.

Old Lady Jie raised her walking stick and hit her. She hated herself for not having enough strength due to her age, and hated herself for not being able to stand steadily due to her small feet. She glared at her eldest daughter-in-law like a razor and cursed, "Big Boss, are you dead? Can't you hear your wife scolding your father and mother? Why don't you hit her for me!"

Uncle Jie, who had just complained to his aunt about Old Lady Jie, did not hesitate at all. He raised his hand and slapped his wife several times, and then beat her on the stove.

The aunt screamed for mercy.

The sons, daughters-in-law, grandsons and granddaughters in the room looked at her but did not dare to say a word.

Finally, Jie Jinkui said, "Grandma, stop hitting me. Go into the house and calm down. I'll ask my wife to fry an egg for you."

Old Lady Jie lowered her head, rolled her eyes, and said angrily, "What are you going to eat? I'm starving to death. So you don't have to discuss whether to strangle me or poison me to death behind my back!"

She was so angry that Uncle Jie beat his wife even harder, and the aunt screamed for mercy.

The other two children of the eldest aunt couldn't bear to see this and wanted to persuade them. Old

Mrs. Jie snorted coldly, "Whoever begs for mercy will come and strangle me. Anyway, I'm old enough to live. I don't want to be a nuisance to you and a burden to you."

Well, no one dared to say anything.

In the end, it was the second uncle Jie and the second aunt who came over cautiously to persuade them to stop fighting, but they were blocked by Jie Jinkui.

Old Mrs. Xie shouted in the house: "I don't care if you are old enough and have a daughter-in-law, get out if you don't listen! The same goes for granddaughters-in-law. If anyone who eats the food of my family dares to curse my mother and grandmother behind my back, whoever doesn't slap her is not my grandson of the family!"

Xie Jinkui and his two younger brothers didn't dare to say anything. Although the three granddaughters-in-law were angry, they didn't dare to say it out loud, and could only swallow their anger.

Old Mrs. Xie was still crying on the kang, "Old man, you died unjustly, why didn't you take me away, so that I wouldn't be left behind to be an eyesore." After

Old Mrs. Xie's singing, reciting, and acting, everyone in the family was silent, and no one dared to say anything to her anymore.

In the end, Uncle Xie had to ask his daughter-in-law to make a big bowl of brown sugar water eggs, and he brought it into the house to appease his parents.

Mrs. Xie felt that she had performed enough, and regained control of her children and grandchildren. She wiped her tears and began to eat brown sugar eggs. She generously gave one to each of her eldest son and eldest grandson. The

eldest aunt hid in her room, lying on the kang and crying miserably, but she didn't dare to cry loudly.

The second and third sons had a look of suppressed anger on their faces.

Although Lin Shu didn't know all this, she knew that the Xie family was different when her second uncle and second aunt came to the door three days later with two high piles of firewood to thank them.

The second uncle and second aunt were both truly honest farmers, without any ulterior motives. They worked hard and didn't say warm words. Although they came to thank them, they couldn't say a word, so they would express their gratitude through actions.

"They said those branches were blocking the road, so we cut them down.

It would be useless to leave them there. Your second aunt and I picked them up to use as firewood." Lin Shu did not refuse, and let them put them outside the wall, and invited them to come in to rest and drink a bowl of water.

Second uncle Jie looked at the mud on his hands and feet, "No, we have to go back to work. I'll pick more branches for you later."

He asked his wife to go back.

Lin Shu chased after him, "Uncle, did you bring food?"

The aunt nodded happily, "Yes, we did. The secretary asked us to bring enough. Your grandmother asked us to bring a bag of dried sweet potatoes. She was very generous."

Lin Shu laughed, "Uncle, you and your aunt are paid two yuan a day. My sister will take it and leave it with my mother. If you want to buy something later, just go and get the money. You can also ask my mother to help you buy it."

The uncle waved his hands repeatedly, "No money, I don't need money."

In his mind, if you want to eat, you have to work, whether you work for your own family or your eldest sister, second sister, fourth sister, or even for the brigade of the commune. Anyway, as long as there is work to do, it's fine.

As for getting sick and taking care of the elderly, he doesn't want to think about it at all.

In his mind, you work for a day and eat for a day. If you get sick, just endure it. If you survive, you will continue to work. If you can't survive, you will die. When you are too old to work, you will die. Why would you need someone to support you?

He is a loser and doesn't have that kind of luck.

People live to work and eat. There is nothing to think about, and there is no need to think about it.

He didn't want to think about it at all. It was useless to think about it.

He waved his hand to Lin Shu, "Go back, let's go."

He took two steps and took the shoulder pole from his wife's hand and carried it himself.

The second aunt's voice came, revealing a sense of joy, "Hey, I've eaten so much these days that my belly is swollen. Look."

The second uncle hummed, "You'll be full tomorrow."

The second aunt: "I see a piece of strips over there. I'll go cut it after I finish cooking and bring it back to my nephew." The second uncle:

"Okay."

When their hunched backs disappeared around the corner, the voices could no longer be heard.

Lin Shu sighed. Such pure and simple people are always easy to arouse sympathy, but they seem to be content with poverty, no matter whether you sympathize with them or not, and no matter whether you change or not.

There are too many people like this in the countryside in this era.

After traveling through time for so long, Lin Shu had never missed her past life before. After all, no one really cared about her relatives after her grandmother passed away.

Even in a developed society, being free from worries seems to have nothing special to be nostalgic about.

The most important thing is that after traveling through time, she has a healthy body, a lovely and caring child, a handsome husband who can make money and treats her well, and her in-laws and her own family are all good to her. She doesn't have to work as hard as other women.

She lives a pretty easy and comfortable life.

Although she can't eat meat whenever she wants like in her previous life, she eats well.

Therefore, she didn't miss her previous life much.

But at this moment, seeing the resigned and honest look of her second uncle and second aunt, she felt that the developed and affluent society in her previous life was better.

At least everyone had enough food and warm clothes, and there was room for nitpicking and the pursuit of a rich spiritual world.

At least she wouldn't have to see so many poor people who couldn't afford to eat. It was really hard to feel good.

She stood there, lost in her own thoughts in a trance.

"What are you thinking about?" A magnetic and soft voice fell from above her head, and Lu Shaotang's strong hand fell on her head and rubbed it.

"Mom, mom, what are you looking at?"

The two children who had picked up their father at the entrance of the village stared at Lin Shu curiously.

It was so strange that their mother was standing there in a daze just now.

Tiantian: "Mom, are you going to turn into a stone?"

Grandpa told the story of the Husband-Waiting Stone, where a wife waited for her husband and turned into a stone.

She didn't want her mother to turn into a stone, sob...

She bumped her head against Lu Shaotang's thigh, "Dad, don't come home!

" Lin Shu came back to her senses, was in a trance for a moment, and laughed, "Your second uncle and grandma just sent us two bundles of firewood."

Lu Shaotang put his arm around her waist, "I'm hungry, let's go home."

Lin Shu: "Where did you come back from? Didn't you have lunch? Didn't Chen Yanming come with you?"

Lu Shaotang: "He's fine, you don't have to worry about him."

Just care about me.

There were outsiders in the yard, Lin Shu quickly took his big hand off her waist, but he held her hand and refused to let go.

Lin Shu raised her head and glared at him. Her eyes seemed to hide something in his dark and deep eyes. She felt a sudden shock in her heart and said hurriedly, "Go home quickly and I'll make you some hand-rolled noodles."

Tiantian and Panpan helped their father carry the bag so that he could take his mother home.

Seeing Lu Shaotang coming back, the workers greeted him one after another.

Lin Shu asked the two children to wash tomatoes for their father, and asked Lu Shaotang to wash his hands and face and rest for a while. She went to the house to scoop out noodles.

She entered the east room, and just as she lifted the lid of the noodle jar, she was pinched by the waist.

She screamed, and a hot kiss came down from above.

At first, Lin Shu was still rational. This was in the east room, the child was still outside, and someone might pass by outside the window and see them. How socially disastrous!

She pushed him, wanting him to let her go. If they were outside the bedroom before, he would only steal a quick kiss, never like this... so domineering and forceful.

She pushed him, but he didn't let her go. Instead, he kissed her more deeply.

Lin Shu felt a little dizzy, and truly felt the fierceness in him.

In the past, even at night, if he went too far, he would give in to her as soon as she resisted, and would never force a kiss like this.

She was a little embarrassed.

Lu Shaotang, if you dare to kiss me until I pass out, I will ignore you for at least three days!

She was feeling embarrassed when Lu Shaotang had already removed her lips and used his thumb to wipe her lips that were a little red and swollen from being kissed.

He stared at her with dark eyes. The moment he saw her when he came home, she stood there motionless, as if she had lost her soul, and seemed to be leaving them.

For the first time in his life, he felt afraid.

Lin Shu was so kissed that she couldn't breathe smoothly, her mouth felt a little numb, and her waist was about to be broken by him!

Doesn't this man know how strong he is?

She glared at him and reached out to pinch his arm, but his arm muscles were tight and strong, and she couldn't pinch a trace of fat at all. She pinched his waist again, and the same happened on his waist.

Ah, so angry!

She simply hugged his waist and bit his collarbone.

"Wow~"

Tiantian and Panpan stood at the door of the east room, looking up at the two of them.

Lin Shu's body froze, damn, so socially dead!

Lu Shaotang hugged her and said to the two children: "You can't learn from your mother. You have been bending over for too long and your brain is deprived of oxygen and dizzy."

Tiantian: "Hurry up and let your mother take you to the kang to rest."

Panpan ran to the west room to make a blanket for Lin Shu.

Lin Shu hurriedly said: "I'm fine, I'm done."

Lu Shaotang lowered his eyes to look at her, his thick eyelashes were wet, and his usually clear eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist. There was a red halo under his eyes and cheeks, and his lips were also bright red and attractive, tempting his most primitive desires.

The way she glared at him angrily, and her bright and charming look, made him unable to control himself.

Well, before, he didn't understand what it was like to be unable to control one's emotions, and he would only laugh at others for having poor self-control.

If you can't control yourself, are you still a human being?

Now he doesn't want to be a human being, he wants to cling to her forever.

Lin Shu sensed his change, glared at him fiercely, turned to the two children and said, "I'm fine, you go and organize Dad's bag, I'll knead the dough."

After the two children ran out, Lin Shu poked Lu Shaotang's chest again and whispered fiercely, "You, calm down!"

Lu Shaotang suddenly felt that it was not convenient for the whole family to live together.
