Qin Fang was washing vegetables in the yard. When she saw Lin Nuo coming back, her face turned pale and she said, "I asked you to pass on a message. Why did you come back only now?"
If there wasn't a lot of work waiting to be done, she would have gone to find Lin Nuo.
"What else could it be?" Lin Dacheng replied, "He must be trying to be lazy."
He spent some money from his family on his wedding, and Lin Nuo felt uncomfortable seeing it. Don't assume he doesn't know.
Lin Nuo looked at Lin Dacheng with disdain and ignored him. He turned to ask Qin Fang, "Where's Dad?"
Qin Fang said, "He's busy in the house. Hurry up and change your clothes and go wash the borrowed bowls." These bowls will be used tomorrow, and they are afraid that there will not be enough manpower, so they can only wash them in advance.
Lin Nuo glanced at the dishes piled in the yard with some disdain and said, "I'll come out and wash them later."
After saying that, she walked into the main room.
Lin Aiguo was in the room, counting the money that others had given in advance. When he saw Lin Nuo come in, he looked up at her and asked, "Why are you back so late?"
Everyone thought she came back late and delayed their work, but no one asked her if she had eaten.
Lin Nuo felt disappointed just thinking about it. She said unhappily, "We had dinner at Xiaoxiao's house."
Lin Aiguo nodded and was about to urge her to work when he heard Lin Nuo say, "Dad, Lin Feng and the others fried snails very well. Why don't we have them fry a big pot tomorrow and put a plate on each table? It's delicious and looks good."
Everyone in the village knows that Lin Feng’s fried snails are delicious and sell well, but few people have ever eaten their snails.
Lin Aiguo's eyes lit up. Why didn't he think of this?
After thinking about it, he said, "I heard that their snails are sold for fifty cents a pound in town." A table of food would need at least a pound, and a single dish would cost sixty or seventy cents. How much would that table of food cost?
"Snails are caught from the river. They don't cost any money. At most, you spend a little on seasoning. How much are they worth? You raise them to this size and eat some of their snails. If they still charge money, the villagers' spit can drown them."
As long as Lin Xiaoxiao and the others had some common sense, they would not accept this money.
"Then I'll go talk to Lin Feng now." Lin Aiguo felt that what Lin Nuo said made sense, so he stood up and prepared to go out.
"Wait." Lin Nuo stopped him. "They should all be asleep by now. Why are you still going there? Tell everyone in the village tomorrow. Then, even if they don't want to do it, they won't be able to refuse."
Judging from the current tempers of these brothers and sisters, if we talk about this matter now, there is probably no hope.
It will be different if we talk to them tomorrow. If they don’t agree, people will gossip about us. If they agree, that will be good too.
"Then we'll talk about it tomorrow." Lin Aiguo sat down again. "If this is successful, I'll remove one of the non-vegetarian dishes tomorrow."
Remove one meat dish from each table and eat the rest at home.
…
The next morning, Lin Xiaoxiao and her friends got up early. Lin Feng cooked a sumptuous breakfast. The family sat around the table and ate with relish.
While eating, Lin Rui asked in confusion, "Brother, aren't we going to Auntie's house later? Why do we have to eat at home?"
They paid for four portions, and he felt he would be at a loss if he didn't eat more.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at him with amusement, "Second brother, don't you know what kind of people Auntie and her family are? Let's not talk about whether the food is delicious or not, whether they give us food or not is still the same thing."
