Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

Chapter 29 It’s just the beginning



"Eat quickly, this is a reward for you."

Lin Heng mixed the cooked offal with some flour and cornmeal to make a small bowl of dog food.

"Awww~"

Xiongba screamed and ate it, smacking his lips while eating it. It seemed to be very delicious.

"After eating, people will be starving. Have a drink or two in the evening."

Father Lin shouted and brought the dishes to the table.

There are more than a dozen people in the family, and they can only put a round table board on top of the square table.

Because of my uncle's insistence, there was another dish of braised bamboo rat for dinner.

A total of nine dishes of various sizes were stir-fried. Naturally, rabbit meat and bamboo rat meat were the most conspicuous among them, being the only two meat dishes.

The others are all vegetarian dishes, but they are not bad, especially the cold gray vegetables and bracken, which also contain perilla, which Lin Heng likes very much.

In his opinion, it tastes better than ordinary meat.

Father Lin picked up the jug and poured wine. Lin Heng also took a glass and drank with everyone. Xiulan and others drank rice wine.

Rice wine is made from rice and has a relatively low alcohol content, but it is very precious and is only drunk when there are guests.

"Come, have a drink first, third brother, pick it up quickly, pick it up..."

Father Lin picked up the wine glass and urged, and everyone picked it up and took a few sips.

"Eat vegetables, everyone eats vegetables, try this stir-fried rabbit with yellow ham."

Father Lin is now urging everyone to eat vegetables.

"Well, it's very beautiful." My uncle Li Baiquan took a bite and praised.

"This bamboo rat is also very good, more beautiful than a big rat." Third father Lin Xutao also nodded repeatedly.

"Hey, the rat meat is a big rat. I ate it once last year and it tasted very good..."

The people at the table were enjoying themselves, drinking and chatting, so happy.

In this era of scarcity of supplies, everyone is easily satisfied. A meal of meat will make you happy for a long time.

Comparisons between relatives are not that serious. They help each other a lot and are full of good yearning for the future.

Lin Heng was joking while putting the Huihui vegetables in his mouth, chatting and laughing with everyone from time to time.

Xiulan sat next to him and watched for a while, then took a large piece of gray vegetables with chopsticks and put it into Lin Heng's bowl. She looked at him with a smile and said, "Eat more vegetables."

"Xiulan, eat some rabbit meat."

Lin Heng suddenly remembered what he had said before, smiled and gave his wife a piece of rabbit meat, and quickly took a few big bites himself.

Xiulan was satisfied when she saw Lin Heng had eaten the meat, so she took a piece of boneless rabbit meat and fed it to her daughter Xiaoxia.

Crunch! !

Everyone was enjoying their meal when the courtyard door suddenly rang, and then a middle-aged man walked in.

"It smells so good. It actually contains meat. Second brother, you really made money from selling ginseng. You are very wealthy."

The speaker was Lin Heng’s eldest father, Lin Xuping.

After entering the house, he was a little shocked when he smelled the aroma of grease all over the yard.

Then I saw dried grass carp, rabbit skin, and bamboo rat skin hanging not far away.

Glancing towards the kitchen, I saw smoked grouse and rabbit meat again.

How come we haven't seen each other for just a few days? How come my second brother's family has become so rich and has so much meat?

Was it all bought with money? How much does it cost? Why didn’t I discover that wild ginseng myself?

The jealousy in his heart.

"What does this have to do with big brother? Why are you coming to my house at this time?"

Father Lin said coldly, with a very rude tone.

The lively dining table also became deserted due to his arrival.

"I'm your brother after all. Do you talk like this? What's wrong? I can't come to dinner?"

Lin Xuping said something unhappy and walked to the main room, but no one gave him a seat or invited him to have a bite.

This shows how bad his past behavior was.

"Dad, go back quickly, don't make yourself unhappy." Lin Heng wondered what his eldest father was doing.

"Lin Heng, what did you do to your elders? If it weren't for your father's sake, I would have beaten you!"

Hearing Lin Heng's words, Lin Xuping became angry.

"Try it!" Lin Heng sneered.

Then all the family members stared at him, and Lin Xuping was so frightened that he quickly took two steps back.

"Tell me, why are you coming to our house? If you have nothing to do, leave as soon as possible. You are not welcome here." Lin's mother's tone was even colder than Lin Heng's.

"Don't talk about brothers. If you really regarded Xi'an as a brother, the relationship wouldn't be like this." Mother Lin added with a sneer.

Even though everyone hated him so much, Lin Xuping still looked like a pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and grinned: "Whether you like me or not, I'm here to talk about things.

Mom is sick. Each of you should give her five yuan to see a doctor. "

He was looking for a legitimate reason. If you were not filial in the countryside, you would be scolded. He believed that his second and third sons would not dare to refuse to take money.

"What's wrong with you? What kind of medicine did you buy? You were alive and kicking two days ago, but you're sick today?" Mother Lin frowned and asked.

This matter is very difficult to handle. It is very normal for an old person to have some minor problems. People come to ask for money for medical treatment. If they don't give it, they will definitely be reported as being unfilial.

"I haven't seen it yet. If you cough again, you can tell me whether I will give it to you or not." Lin Xuping chuckled, very cruelly.

"If you don't give it, get out of here. If you want to see it, we can come and see it in person some other time. How can we give money directly? If people hear it, they will think that our family is unfilial."

Lin Heng said coldly.

His eldest father was a little angry at this sentence and shouted angrily: "You have no business interrupting."

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Lin Heng stared at him.

"Brother, go back. We'll go see her another day. Mom is sick, so we must go."

After being reminded by Lin Heng, Lin's father said hurriedly.

He couldn't help but look at Lin Heng twice. He was smart and didn't study for two years in vain.

"Yes, brother, we'll go see her in person in two days. There's no reason for you to come." Third father Lin Xutao also said hurriedly.

After being said that, eldest father Lin Xutao suddenly didn't know what to say and looked at Lin Heng angrily.

"Okay, I've been notified. If you don't go, it's not me who will be laughed at by others."

Finally, he said something and left embarrassedly.

After he left, Lin's father looked at Lin Heng and said, "Thanks to you, otherwise I would have to spend a few dollars today."

"Yes, Lin Heng, your brain is fast. We don't know what to do after being told that. Let's have a drink."

Third father said something and raised his glass to have a drink with Lin Heng.

"Third father, you are too polite." Lin Heng drank with his third father helplessly.

In fact, if his eldest father insisted, his family would really have to give him some.

However, he is obviously shameless, but he cares about his reputation a little, just like a warm man, flattering and pretending to be a gentleman, so it is easy to deal with.

On the other side, seeing her husband Lin Xuping coming out, Li Ping, who was hiding under a tree in the distance, asked: "How is it, has the money been paid?"

"No, they said they would go to see it in person."

Lin Xuping said in a rough voice.

"Hmph, you useless thing, you can't even get this little money, I'm really unlucky to follow you."

Hearing that there was no money, Li Ping's face instantly turned cold and she started to curse.

"If you have the ability, go by yourself?" Lin Xuping also got angry.

After pushing and shoving for a few words, Lin Xuping talked about the food at Lin Heng's house and the new clothes hanging at the door, which made Li Ping's eyes widen.

"How much did this ginseng sell for? God is really blind to waste it like this."

While scolding, she became more and more angry at her husband. Why is he so useless?

"Maybe someone hunted it. What are you complaining about?"

Lin Xuping was so confused. This crazy woman was incompetent and just scolded him all day long. He was so angry that he wanted to raise his hand to hit her.

"Hmph, he must have bought it. No one in his house knows how to hunt. It's all because of you, a useless thing. You can't even dig up a ginseng.

Just wait and see. In a few days, the money for building a house will be ruined. Especially since Lin Heng is a second-rate guy. They have their own poverty."

While scolding her husband, Li Ping cursed Lin Heng's family. Seeing others live better than herself was more painful than killing her.

The two people who lived together looked down on each other more and more.

Lin Heng didn't know this and was happily picking food for his wife.

If he knew, he would definitely laugh out loud. The days that would make his uncle's family envious and jealous had just begun.
