"Good morning, Mom!" Lin Miaoting turned her head to look at Tang Xuemei who was carrying the table into the house.
"Good morning? Hurry up and eat!" Tang Xuemei said fiercely. "In a while, your father and your brother came back from the fields!" If not for the fact that this girl slept late last night, she would have picked her up long ago!
"Why did daddy and brother go to the fields so early?" Lin Miaoting asked as she put on her clothes.
"Let's see what we plant this year. We can buy some seeds in advance. " We can also take a look at our share of land! " Tang Xuemei's tone was a little disappointed.
Lin Miaoting, who knew nothing about farming, did not respond. She could only stand up and help Tang Xuemei pick up the bowls and chopsticks.
A cool breeze blew into the house.
"You're back." Tang Xuemei said to the man standing at the door.
"Yes, I'm back." Lin Kaishan answered in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" Tang Xuemei noticed that something was wrong with her husband. She asked with concern, "Who made you angry?"
"No one!" Lin Kaishan sounded a little annoyed, but then he realized that his tone was not right. "Don't worry about your wife," he said. "She's fine."
"What's going on?" Lin Kaishan asked. Zhize asked. Tang Xuemei knew her husband's temper, so she turned to ask her son who had followed her husband into the house. Lin Zhize looked at his father. Seeing that his father did not seem to have any intention of stopping him, he said, "It's Uncle's house."
Tang Xuemei slightly frowned and used her eyes to signal Lin Zhize to continue speaking.
"When we moved out before the New Year, didn't Grandfather say that he wanted to split our three acres of land? In the end, when I went to look at the land with my father today, uncle pointed at the three acres of barren land in grandfather's house for our family. In the end, when Father and I went to look for Grandfather, Grandma blocked our way. "She even said, still said."
What else did she say? " Tang Xuemei suppressed her anger and asked.
"You even said that since we are already separated, why do you still want our fields? Don't be so stupid as to give everything to outsiders." Speaking of which, Lin Zhize immediately silenced him.
Tang Xuemei was angry. Wasn't this talking about her? Other than her, who else in this family had a different surname? But looking at her husband, she still comforted him. "If you don't want to give it, then don't give it, hubby. This poor place can serve you well."
Lin Kaishan looked at his wife with some difficulty and did not speak for a long time. Although there was some money left in the house, it was only about thirty taels. He did not know if the income of this poor land was enough to teach and pay taxes. If he didn't move out, because the old man was a scholar, He didn't need to pay taxes. But now.
"Daddy, why don't we talk to the government about the exploration!" Lin Miaoting suggested.
"Exploring? Keer, how can the land now be so easy to reclaim? Maybe there will be nothing left in the end!" Lin Zhize said helplessly.
Lin Miaoting did not reply. Right now, she did not know what kind of effect this spiritual spring water had. She did not dare to guarantee in front of her parents. Looks like she can only try this spiritual spring water first! If this spiritual spring water is really like what she saw in the mountain for the first time, perhaps this water can change the soil quality! After all, This spring water could guarantee the normal growth of the surrounding plants during winter! Hence, Lin Miaoting planned to quietly move tomorrow.
"Alright, alright, let's eat first!" Although Lin Kaishan was unhappy, seeing that the food on the table was about to cool down, he called for the family to eat first. The main thing was that he did not want to ask this question for the time being. It was too annoying!
After the meal, Lin Kaishan said that he wanted to go up the mountain to pick up some firewood before farming. He wanted to take a look at the traps while he was at it so that he would not be too busy when the time came. Hence, he led Lin Zhize out the door. Tang Xuemei, who stayed at home, was sitting on the brick bed and doing her hair. The first time, she did not ask for much. Tang Xuemei did not ask Lin Miaoting to do it with her. She just waited for Tang Xuemei to learn how to do it. Lin Miaoting was free to move about.
Lin Miaoting who got her freedom came to her own kitchen. In the corner of the kitchen, she took out her basket backpack and took out the medicinal herbs that she bought in the town the last time. After that, she took out the small medicine that she bought from the corner of the kitchen.
The smell of the herbs filled Lin Miaoting's nose and made her sneeze. At the same time, the sound of the medicinal herbs grinding also alerted Tang Xuemei, who was making hair flowers in the house, "Keer, what are you doing?"
"Oh. I am grinding things to play with." Lin Miaoting answered ambiguously.
"Oh, then play with it. Be careful not to touch the fire in the furnace." Tang Xuemei instructed.
"Okay, I understand, mother." Lin Miaoting was in the kitchen, trying her best to mix all the herbs into powder.
"Tch..." Lin Miaoting's nose was stimulated by the smell of the powder mixed together and she sneezed. "Hey my god, this smell is really exciting!"
"Prayer is successful. Let's try it tonight. Anyway, it won't kill you if you eat it!" Lin Miaoting seemed to have made a great decision. She was thinking about how to get her mother to agree to put this strange thing into the rice!
"What's the taste?" Lin Zhize, who had just come back from outside, smelled the smell of the seasoning and asked.
"It's the seasoning I made!" Lin Miaoting proudly raised her right hand, which was holding the seasoning bag.
"Season? Keer, what are you doing? Let me see! " Lin Zhize said as he went forward and took the seasoning packet from Lin Miaoting's hands. He placed it on the tip of his nose and sniffed.
"Ah Qiu, Ah Qiu! Keer, what kind of seasoning is this? Why is it so pungent?" Lin Zhize immediately stuffed the seasoning packet back into Lin Miaoting's hands in disgust.
Brother, you don't know. This is a good thing. When cooking, this dish will be very fragrant! " If you don't believe me, I'll cook it for you tonight! As long as you dare to eat it, it's done? Tch. " Lin Miaoting said excitedly. She hoped that her brother would agree.
"Eat it, eat it. Are you afraid of you?" Lin Zhize was not convinced.
Lin Kaishan did not know what to say. He was a little worried. "Keer, can you eat this?"
"Don't worry, Dad. Although this thing smells a little strange, it is not poisonous. If it is poisonous, the owner of the medicine store will not sell it to me when I buy it," Lin Kaishan said. Lin Miaoting explained.
"Oh. Then do it!" Lin Kaishan reluctantly accepted it. As long as there was no problem with the food, it would be fine.
With Lin Kaishan's approval, Tang Xuemei, who had just walked out of the room, naturally did not say anything. She only asked, "How do we make this seasoning? Tell mother."
"Okay, Mom." Lin Miaoting smiled happily. It was all thanks to her brother!
