Uncle Lin arrived shortly after.
Seeing that they had rested enough, he asked his young apprentice to help sort the items and then weigh them.
Yuan Shitou took a package and handed it to Uncle Lin:
"Uncle Lin, this short story is for you."
Uncle Lin laughed and said, "Little Xiao is so thoughtful. She always brings me things when she comes down. I feel embarrassed to take them."
Yuan Shitou wasn't good at saying nice things.
To be precise, he can't say nice things in front of others.
If it were in front of Xiaoxiao, then one sweet word after another would be uttered.
It's practically self-taught.
After selling everything and getting the money.
Yuan Shitou then said, "Uncle Lin, this is Tiesheng. He has come down the mountain with us several times."
Uncle Lin nodded: "I know, is there something wrong?"
Just say what's on your mind.
"I'll help if I can."
When Uncle Lin saw that Yuan Shitou had specifically introduced Fan Tiesheng, he knew that there must be something he wanted to ask him for help with.
In addition, Fan Tiesheng kept looking at him, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Fan Tiesheng felt a little embarrassed when he heard Uncle Lin ask that question.
He also handed over a bundle: "Uncle Lin, this is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won't mind."
Uncle Lin did not refuse and took the bundle.
She still looked at him with a smile.
It wasn't that he was after that little bit of stuff. If he hadn't accepted it, Fan Tiesheng would have been too embarrassed to say anything.
If I can help, I will.
After all, your kids are all honest people.
As for the gifts, he can return some gifts later.
Fan Tiesheng scratched his head: "It's like this, Uncle Lin, I have a pair of twins at home, they're almost six months old."
It won't eat anything, it only drinks milk.
There was no milk at home for them to drink.
They went up the mountain several times but failed to catch any dairy goats.
In short, I've heard you mention something called milk powder.
I wonder if I can buy it?
Uncle Lin suddenly realized: "Oh, this! Yes, of course it can."
How much do you want? I have some left.
If you need a lot, you'll have to buy it elsewhere.
When Fan Tiesheng heard that there was such a thing, he was as happy as a child who had received candy.
He revealed a set of pearly white teeth.
"I don't know how much they can eat?"
The two children have huge appetites; they only drink milk and won't eat anything else.
"Lin Shu, could you help me figure out how much of this is appropriate?"
Uncle Lin smiled and said, "Wait here, I'll go get it for you right away."
He paused for a moment, then asked, "How far along is Xiaoxiao's pregnancy?"
He asked Yuan Shitou.
Yuan Shitou looked very happy.
"It's been more than three months."
Uncle Lin thought for a moment and said, "Should we prepare some milk powder for Xiaoxiao as well?"
I'm worried this formula won't keep for long and will spoil easily.
Yuan Shitou's eyes lit up, and he immediately said:
"Uncle Lin, we will come down again in December."
Uncle Lin will prepare some for me, and I'll take them home.
I'm also worried that the baby will cry if there's no milk.
Tiesheng's two sons gave him a great wake-up call.
Make sure you prepare well in advance.
Uncle Lin nodded with a smile: "Alright, I won't prepare milk powder for Xiaoxiao this time."
Take some back with you next time you come.
"What else do you need? Think about it, I'll prepare it for you, and you can take it all back with you when you come down."
Yuan Shitou, of course, had no objection.
Then he turned his gaze to Fan Tiesheng, who made no other requests.
As long as those two children are fed, that's fine.
Not long after Uncle Lin went in, he came out carrying a very large winnowing basket.
It was filled with steamed buns.
Uncle Lin put down the steamed buns and said with a smile, "Eat quickly, I'll get you some water."
He went back inside.
They didn't seem reluctant at all.
A little while later, he brought out a few more bowls and a kettle.
It was obviously freshly boiled water.
I never met Uncle Lin's wife.
Yuan Shitou wasn't curious; they had been here many times before, but had never seen Uncle Lin's wife.
I heard she used to be a young lady from a wealthy family.
There is a rule that men should not be treated as outsiders.
Although we are now liberated, those rules no longer apply.
But it's something ingrained in your bones, and it takes time to get used to it.
Besides, what would they be doing seeing a woman in the middle of the night?
So nobody mentioned it.
Xiao Xiao always brings things for Uncle Lin when she comes down.
There were also some that were for Aunt Lin.
Aunt Lin would send some gifts back, but she never showed her face.
Uncle Lin's two children work outside and do not live at home.
There is also a young daughter in the family.
They have never shown their faces.
While everyone was eating, Uncle Lin took his young apprentice inside and packed a lot of things.
The large package was for Fan Tiesheng.
It contained some of his return gifts.
There was also the milk powder that Fan Tiesheng wanted.
"This amount of formula is enough for your child to eat for two months."
In December, you can go down the mountain with Stone again, and I'll prepare some more for you.
This is all we have at home, let's eat first.
Fan Tiesheng nodded and was about to hand over the money.
But he didn't know how much it cost.
He simply grabbed a few ten-yuan bills and handed them to Uncle Lin.
"Uncle Lin, is this enough?"
Uncle Lin smiled and pushed his hand back: "These milk powders are for the children, you don't need to pay for them."
Fan Tiesheng became anxious: "How can that be? How can I take your things for free?"
No, no, I have to pay this money no matter what.
Uncle Lin waved his hand: "I said I wouldn't accept it, so I won't."
You have already given me so much.
"How could I justify taking your money again?"
Fan Tiesheng's face flushed red: "Those things are worthless."
These milk powders are very expensive.
Uncle Lin glanced at him. This kid was quite honest; he wasn't the type to take advantage of others.
"I won't accept these. I'll accept them next time, okay?"
In the end, Fan Tiesheng couldn't argue with Uncle Lin and had to put the money back in his pocket.
Thinking to myself, I will definitely bring more mountain products for Uncle Lin next time.
This time, Uncle Lin really spent a lot of money.
Uncle Lin put the things his young apprentice brought into Yuan Shitou's basket.
"These were all bought by Xiaoxiao last time."
These are for Little One.
And this piece of cloth, take it home and make two sets of clothes for the kids.
This was given to you by your aunt.
They say it's especially suitable for making clothes for children.
Yuan Shitou nodded and reached for his money.
Uncle Lin quickly pressed his hand down: "Don't bother taking them out, Xiao Xiao has already paid for these things."
These fabrics and such are for Xiaoxiao and the children.
Then you don't need to pay.
Yuan Shitou scratched his head. He seemed to remember that Xiao Xiao hadn't given Uncle Lin any money.
Thinking that so many people were watching, it wouldn't be good to keep passing the buck, so he nodded in agreement.
I'll ask Xiaoxiao when I get home. If he hasn't given it to me yet, he can make it up to me later.
Uncle Lin told everyone to rest here for a while before leaving.
Yuan Shitou shook his head: "Uncle Lin, let's go up the mountain tonight."
"Rest when you get to the top of the mountain, so you don't run into other people and cause trouble later."
Uncle Lin thought about it and realized he was right.
He nodded and saw them out the door.
When we left, we still gave them a lot of steamed buns.
The men on the mountain are all very honest.
I felt really bad for taking so many things from them.
I wanted to give him money, but Uncle Lin wouldn't accept it.
I could only thank them repeatedly.
