Chapter 13 the Taste of Happiness

Lin dashan brought his wife, zhou xinxiu, and left the child in his hometown. He moved into a small courtyard at the back of the gu family's mansion. In his spare time, lin dashan studied hard and zhou xinxiu worked as a needle and thread. Both of them were quiet and did not provoke any trouble. On the contrary, the gu family respected them very much. Apart from being disciplined and preparing gifts for the new year, they often brought food.

When lin dashan entered the house, zhou xinxiu was just about to put down the show work in her hands when she welcomed him with joy. Seeing that he was holding a rice bag in his hand, she complained," the food that I brought back from the old house last time was half a month old. Why did you ask mom for it again? "

As she spoke, she pointed to a plate of snacks on the kang table. "

Lin dashan smiled as he let his wife change his clothes and clean his hands.

To be honest, zhou xinxiu was not a beauty. She was even slightly plump, but her face was fair and her words were gentle and considerate. She was especially kind and filial. She was smart and had her own opinions. After getting married for so many years, she couldn' t pick out any mistakes. Following him into the city, she even managed the small family in a well-organized manner. As a husband, what else could she be picky about? She could only be more considerate of her wife in return.

Come and sit down. "

Lin dashan pulled his wife's hand and sat on the edge of the kang, making zhou xinxiu blush. He quickly pulled her hand out and complained," it's daytime. Don' t let anyone see you." "

Lin dashan didn' t insist. He lifted his hand to open the cloth bag and smiled." This is the white rice that mother gave me. I' m eating it very well. You can give half of it to father-in-law later and send some to the front yard as a return gift for dessert. "

"Oh, the white rice is really good. "

Zhou xinxiu didn' t take it seriously at first. After all, although white rice wasn' t cheap, with old Mr. Zhou's lowly and oily job, the zhou family had always had good food. It was only when they married into the lin family that they rarely ate white rice.

But now, she grabbed a handful of white rice and looked at the sunlight with surprise.

The rice grains were slender and neat, without any fragmentation. The rice body was transparent, and there was a faint scent of it. It was much better than the indica rice that the grain store sold.

She looked happy, but still asked," where did the old house get the good rice from? Mother brought us so much rice. Is there any food at home?" "

Lin dashan's heart warmed even more. How could he not like such a kind and sensible wife?

Mother said there was still a lot at home, so let's not save money. "In the middle of his speech, he suddenly remembered his father's instruction and said," this rice ... Seems to be a gift from someone else. "

Zhou xinxiu married to the lin family for seven or eight years. She was delighted that her mother-in-law was easy to get along with, but she respected her father-in-law who was more reasonable and magnanimous. After hearing her husband's words, she decided to stay with him. She nodded and replied," alright, I know what to do. Take a rest first. I' ll go to the front. "

She tidied up her clothes and distributed half of the rice in a cleaner cloth bag before heading to the front yard of the master's house.at last, she returned to the nearby qingshi alley, where her mother's family lived.

As they walked down the circle, the sky turned dark. The couple steamed some rice and fried the vegetables that the zhou family had brought back. They all praised the taste of the rice.

Lin dashan excused himself for having a full lunch and gave a small portion of the meal to his wife. Zhou xinxiu's heart was as clear as a mirror, but she naturally accepted her husband's kindness and ate a sweet meal.

Sometimes life is not happy, really not to see what to eat and drink, but with the person beside you ...

"Yes, yes! "

There was a jujube tree in the lin family's courtyard. It had not yielded fruit in recent years, but it was still lush and luxuriant, so it became a perfect place to stay in the summer.

Perhaps because of the approaching autumn day, there was a fear that as long as the night did not come, the cicadas would endlessly shout with their necks, squandering their short lives and time.

If it had been in the past, the lin family would have taken the poles and climbed up the tree.they must have caught these noisy guys and fed them to the chickens.

However, in the past few days, they were not in the mood to do so.

At this moment, they had just finished their lunch, and the rice was accompanied by beef stew with turnips, which made their stomachs look like watermelons. However, even so, they remained in the hall and refused to leave.

Until Jiao Jiao came out of the compartment with a big bowl.

One of these boys was counted as one. He immediately raised his head and raised his chest to teach the paper in his hands. The rules of writing in large calligraphy were perfect, and it was obvious that he was prepared.

Jiao Jiao put down the big bowl and flipped through the big words one by one. Then, he pushed the big bowl into the middle of the table. "

The boys seemed to have been ordered by the soldiers, almost immediately jumped up to the side table.

The big bowl was filled with half of the white stuff. It was like frozen snow and ice in winter, but it was sweeter and cooler than snow and ice.

In short, a bite of it would make people forget all the pain of summer.

Although the boys were drooling, they still remembered not to fight. A spoonful started from the youngest Lin Yuan's hand, and in turn, it was lin hua's turn to be the oldest. The bowl of sweet snow and ice was ready. Lin Yuan held the bowl and licked it. Today, half of the things she hoped for the most were completed.

As for the other half, they had to wait until it was dark.

"Sister, what shall we have for dinner, red or yellow? "

Lin hua pulled up her sleeves to wipe away the marks on Lin Yuan's face. At last, she looked out to see that there was no one in the courtyard and asked in a low voice.

Before Jiao Jiao could respond, the boys all expressed their opinions." Eat the red fruit!" "

"No, yellow is better. "

"Can't you eat pink fruit? "

Jiao Jiao narrowed his eyes with a smile and waved his chubby white arms like a lotus root festival. He replied forthrightly," we have it all night, but you must not leak it. If outsiders find out, they won't be able to eat it anymore. "

"Don' t worry, sister. I' ll keep an eye on them and not tell anyone." "

Lin hua patted his chest to assure him that lin bao and lin pingrong's three brothers followed the adults to the field, and he was the biggest leader among the remaining brothers, so his words were somewhat authoritative.

"Well, my brothers will wait for me that evening. "

"That's great. Let's go fishing in the stream. We only caught three yesterday. It's too little. "

Lin hua took a group of younger brothers and ran to the corner of the courtyard to get nets and broken wooden buckets. Regardless of the scorching sun on her head, she ran to the stream at the head of the village and ran away.

Jiao Jiao sat on the threshold with an empty bowl in his arms, grinning from ear to ear.

Over the past few days, she had been taking things out of her space one after another. There was a lot of white rice in the house, and there was a lot of oil in the dishes. There was also a meal of meat every day.

In her previous life, these were the most common meals, but when they landed on the lin family's dining table, they immediately made the old and young people of the family fat up.

The adults did not think that, but the naughty boys jumped up and down more strength.
