"Why don't you two get in the car quickly? It's almost dark. Do you want to spend the night on the road?" Lin Qingmei yelled at the two siblings behind her. If the two of them dragged their feet and couldn't get in the car, she would leave first.
"Here I come, here I come. Didn't you have a good temper before? How come you are more irritable than me after I haven't seen you for a while?" Lin Qinglan carried Lin Zheng into the cart, and she also sat on the edge of the ox cart.
"Hold on tight, we are about to set off." Lin Erye, the ox cart driver, whipped his whip and the ox in front started to move forward. Lin Erye was a childless old man, and because of his inconvenient legs and feet, the team leader gave him the job of driving the ox cart.
In addition to carrying people, the ox cart also carries crops and fertilizers. The ox cart only carries people on market days every month. At other times, villagers can only walk to the county town.
It was she who gave him one dollar to rent a car that day, and only then did the captain agree to let Mr. Lin help pick up the people.
On the way to Linjiawan, Lin Zheng found everything new and interesting. It was snowing in the Northeast this season, but people in Guangdong could still wear short sleeves.
"Sister, sister, look, the leaves are still green." The last time Lin Zheng went to Linjia Bay was in the summer two years ago. He was still young at that time and he had not yet felt the difference between the north and the south.
"That's not surprising. Look how cold Harbin is. Luckily it didn't snow on the day we set out, otherwise the train wouldn't have been able to move."
It is now late October, and Harbin is already cold enough to wear thick cotton-padded jackets. These days, Lin Qinglan and her friends have also changed from thick cotton-padded jackets to short-sleeved shirts as they travel from the northernmost part to the southernmost part.
"Little brat, you just have too little experience. When the cold air comes in a while, you will be able to experience what a magic attack is."
Lin Qingmei didn't want to admit that Lin Zheng was her younger brother, but now that the little brat had Lin Qinglan to protect him, she didn't dare to object.
"Lin Qingmei, could you please stop scaring Lin Zheng? You are such an adult and yet you still bother with a child." Lin Qinglan rolled her eyes in annoyance. Her best friend was really petty. She didn't know how Lin Zheng had offended her. From the moment they met until now, she had never given him a good look.
"Just protect him. Anyway, you only love your brother and not me, your sister. I am not important in your heart at all." Humph, if you treat Lin Zheng, that bastard, so well, I will either be mad at you or disgusted to death.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kick you out of the car. Can't you just keep quiet for a while?"
An hour later, the ox cart finally stopped at the foot of the mountain at the end of the village.
"We're here, get off the car!" Uncle Lin helped Lin Qingmei and her brother and sister carry their luggage down and left. He still had to go herd cattle! His precious big yellow cattle were really tired. He didn't know what was in those packages, and he almost couldn't lift them.
Although Lin Qinglan knew from her memory that the house in her hometown was not very good, it was far less shocking than it was now.
"Qingmei, you've worked hard. You dare to live in such a shabby house? Aren't you afraid that it will be blown down by the wind?"
“Let’s just make do with it for now! After all, grandma just passed away, and we have to wait until next year to build a house.” Lin Qingmei has gotten used to living in this old house. Although the house looks shabby on the surface, the materials used in the house are still good, so it shouldn’t collapse so easily.
"Well, there's nothing to do in winter, so we can prepare the materials for building a house first." Lin Qinglan planned to build a better house. When the time comes, she won't decorate the outside, but can use lime powder inside. Add some glue powder, which will make the wall look whiter and brighter.
"I can get all the materials for building a house. I'll just have someone deliver them to you in a while."
"Okay, then we'll just put up with it for a while."
