Early the next morning, Lin Zheng knocked on Lin Qingmei's door. He had fallen asleep long ago last night and really didn't know when his second sister came back.
"Why are you knocking on the door so early in the morning?" Lin Qingmei was woken up from her sound sleep and became furious. She didn't go to bed until after two in the morning last night and she felt like she had just dozed off for a short while when she was woken up.
"Second sister, didn't you say you were going fishing last night? Where are the fish?" Lin Zheng was a little scared when he saw Lin Qingmei's dark face. How could he be so brave to come and knock on his second sister's door.
"Who said I went night fishing? I had something to do last night and went to the county town."
She said that yesterday when she went out, and now she denies it. But Lin Zheng was too timid to say it out loud, and only dared to mutter in his heart.
Before Lin Zheng could say anything else, Lin Qingmei's door closed with a bang.
...........
Lin Qingmei slept until noon. Fortunately, she had asked for leave in advance yesterday, otherwise she would have to miss work today.
She came back too late last night and had not had time to sort out yesterday's harvest. She poured all the pearls in the bag onto the table and counted them one by one.
There were 120 pearls in a basket, 86 of which were relatively large and 34 were smaller. Among the large pearls, only one was blue, two were black, and the rest were all white.
She found a box to put the blue pearl in. She really liked this pearl and planned to find someone to make it into jewelry after the reform and opening up.
She planned to grind the thirty-four smaller pearls into pearl powder and use it as a facial mask. She had not taken good care of her face since she traveled through time.
After Lin Qingmei sorted and put away the pearls according to the plan, she thought about making something delicious to reward herself. She went to the kitchen, took out the ingredients stored at home, and prepared to make a hearty lunch.
She hadn’t finished eating the sea cucumbers and clams she had caught yesterday, so she planned to make stir-fried sea cucumbers with green onions and spicy clams.
I still have the bacon I made myself a while ago, and it tastes great if I stir-fry it with bamboo shoots.
When Lin Qingmei's meal was served, Lin Zheng had just returned from the farm after dinner.
"Second sister, why are you getting more and more outrageous? You made delicious food at home without telling me. Fortunately, I was smart and ate a few bites of it without seeing you at the farm just now."
Without waiting for Lin Qingmei to speak, Lin Zheng went to the kitchen and got out a set of bowls and chopsticks. How could he miss the bacon?
"I work so hard to support you, can't I have a good meal?"
Lin Qingmei thought that she was not that great and it was absolutely impossible for her to be so stingy with food and clothing and leave the best to her younger brother.
In her opinion, the most important person is always herself.
"Second sister, are you angry? Did I say something wrong just now? I don't blame you for eating alone, I just... don't know how to talk." Lin Zheng was almost scared to tears, and he felt a little uneasy. Did he say something wrong? Would the second sister ignore him?
Lin Qingmei didn't know that there were so many things going on in Lin Zheng's mind. She just wanted to say a few words to Lin Zheng.
Besides, she didn't plan to eat alone today. If she wanted to eat alone, she would definitely not let Lin Zheng find out.
