Rebirth: Pastoral’s Little Daughter - C9 rice
Originally, when he was still considered rich in the Lin Family, Lin Hao didn’t really like white radishes at all. But now, to Lin Hao, these white radishes were simply delicious!
Just by looking at the radishes in Lin Xiaorong’s hands, Lin Hao could already imagine how crisp, sweet and spicy these radishes were.
Lin Xiaorong pinched Lin Hao’s nose, and laughed: “Alright, Big Sis will give you the radish now.”
Because there were no more rice at home and nothing else. Lin Xiaorong thought about it, then picked out a bamboo basket from the pile of branches he had picked up, and said to Lin Hanshuang and Lin Hao: “I’ll go exchange for some rice.”
He really did not expect his sister to think about such a thing. Originally, the firewood they had burned was all picked up by Lin Su, and he did not even have enough for themselves, but he did not expect that they could actually use this firewood to exchange with others. If it was really possible, would they be able to survive in the future?
This was a place where everyone would go, and also a place where everyone would be able to go. Forget about the endless branches at the back of the mountain, it was also something that anyone could pick up, how could there be so many people who needed firewood?
It was just that Lin Xiaorong was more observant.
The people in this village didn’t feel the need to build a room for the firewood. In other words, there was no woodshed in this village. They were more used to putting all the firewood in their own yard and then covering it with a layer of oily paper.
It was when Lin Xiaorong went to change the ginger yesterday that he discovered that the house that was going to exchange the ginger for firewood.
It was enough for him to use three to five kilograms of food. Lin Xiaorong didn’t think that he could exchange too much for the firewood in this bamboo basket.
Last night, they had eaten the mushroom that Lin Xiaorong had sent over. That fresh feeling could simply be recalled now, mainly because the aunt felt that it was worth it. After all, no matter how she thought about it, using half a piece of ginger to exchange for a bunch of mushrooms, no matter how she thought about it, she wouldn’t feel that it was a loss.
This time, he didn’t know how he would get the upper hand.
“Auntie, I’m here again.” After Lin Xiaorong saw this big aunt, he first smiled, then opened his mouth to speak.
The aunt was the same, after seeing Lin Xiaorong’s smile, she felt relaxed, and her tone became more gentle, and she asked: “Oh little girl Lin, what do you want to trade for today?”
The corner of Lin Xiaorong’s mouth hooked up as he said: “Aunt, today, I and my brother went up the mountain to pick up some firewood. It was pretty dry, and we don’t need Auntie to dry it any longer. After saying that, Lin Xiaorong’s smile contained a little shyness.
She married a lazy man, and she herself was not very hardworking, so it was rare for her to see such dry firewood in her house. She immediately said in satisfaction: “Aunt will give you a spoonful of rice right now, but the Lin Family’s girl, Aunt’s family doesn’t have any rice anymore. You also know that this year’s harvest isn’t too good …”
The very kind Lin Xiaorong curled his lips and said: “Then the other rice is also okay.”
This auntie went to scoop some sorghum rice with a wide smile on her face. Thinking about it, she found that it wasn’t easy for her to have a big brother who couldn’t fight in the martial arts world and a little underling who still didn’t understand, so she just scooped up a little bit more. When the auntie walked out, she found that she had scooped too much!
There was enough sorghum for the four of them to eat for two or three days.
However, thinking about it, she turned around and went back, looking bad on face, so the aunt gave the rice to Lin Xiaorong unhappily. Naturally, Lin Xiaorong was very happy, and thanked her well, and even praised her well, and then placed the firewood back into the aunt’s house, only then did he say goodbye.
This auntie did not notice that Lin Xiaorong had made an inconspicuous move towards her before she went to scoop the rice and left.
This aunt had just scooped up more rice, so it was naturally Lin Xiaorong’s handiwork. She didn’t do much, she only wanted the aunt to be slightly distracted at some point in time.
Fortunately, Lin Xiaorong had practiced his medical skills for so many years. Stabbing an acupuncture point at such a close distance was simply a piece of cake, and he had already pulled out the silver needle when Lin Xiaorong left; it was simply not perfect anymore.
When Lin Xiaorong returned home, Lin Su was already there. Lin Su was still very surprised, why did so many branches suddenly appear in the courtyard? What was going on?
He had wanted to build a wall for a long time, but he had no time, no money, and no materials, so he could only leave this place empty for now. As for Brother Lin’s wall?
Sorry, it’s no use at all. You can just step on it.
Seeing a cloth bag in Lin Xiaorong’s hands, Lin Su asked: “Xiao Rong, what’s inside this bag?”
Lin Xiaorong lifted the cloth bag and placed it next to his face. He smiled at Lin Su and said: “Secret.”
Following that, she took out some rice from inside in front of Lin Su, reckoned that it was enough for tonight, and said: “Are you going to eat congee tonight? Or do you want to eat something dry? ”
Because this village was really poor, basically no one was willing to make dry meals and eat wasted rice. Most people would eat a bowl of porridge for breakfast, eat a mixed grain steamed bun for dinner, and drink a bowl of porridge. From this, it could be seen that their standard of living was very low.
Lin Xiaorong was very clear about this matter, and was also very clear that his four siblings were slightly injured. However, they currently did not have sufficient conditions, so he could only take it lying down.
So when Lin Xiaorong was speaking, he had already finished the rice and put it in the pot along with the water to make the porridge. Then, he heard his second brother say: “It’s not bad, I haven’t eaten anything for a long time.”
