Chapter 6 Small Business
Lin Yushu rubbed his hands into the house, stomped his feet and said, "It's getting colder day by day. I went to the river to fish and I didn't get anything." I thought I could catch two fish to improve the food for my family, but it was cold. I worked hard for the afternoon and didn't get anything, and my hands and feet were still frozen.
Lin Yuzhu pointed to the brazier in the middle of the house and said, "Hurry up and roast the fire. It's hard to fish when it's cold. Brother, I want to do some small business."
This idea is just to tell Lin Yushu for the time being, and Lin Yushu also needs help in this matter.
Lin Yushu sat next to the brazier, put his hands on the brazier to cook the fire. When he heard Lin Yuzhu say he wanted to do business, he looked at Lin Yuzhu blankly and said, "What business do you do?"
Lin Yuzhu was happy. Lin Yushu did not object, which proved that the plan could be implemented. He expressed his thoughts: "I want to use sour fruits to make some food for sale. I will ask my mother to pick a few pounds of pounds for me. My brother needs your help at that time."
She could not go out to sell candied haws, and the task of selling candied haws naturally fell on Lin Yushu.
Lin Yushu grabbed his head, but still didn't understand Lin Yuzhu's meaning: "Can you eat sour fruits? So sour, and why are you thinking about doing business? Just stay at home and take care of your children. If you have a brother, you won't be hungry. Don't worry about it during the confinement period. My mother said that you have to worry too much and have a headache after you have a headache."
I felt guilty, it must be because Lin Yuzhu was afraid of adding burden to the family, so she kept thinking about making money. He, as a brother, felt guilty.
Even the greedy children disliked the sour fruits. It would be okay to pick a few occasionally and try them. If you really want to sell them, who can buy them?
Lin Yuzhu knew that the things were not made, her family would definitely not trust her, and she did not continue to explain: "Brother, why don't you help me cut a bamboo back later? I'll cut a little bamboo stick to it will be useful."
Lin Yushu always felt something was wrong with Lin Yuzhu today. He sometimes called for business and sometimes asked for a thin bamboo stick: "Yuzhu, what are you doing?"
"Brother just help me cut bamboo. Saw it to such a long chopstick." Lin Yuzhu knew that there were too many explanations, but Lin Yushu didn't believe it. She would wait until the things were bought and made with candied haws.
It happened that the county went to the market the next day, and Li He'er entered Lin Yuzhu's room early in the morning.
Today, Li He'er wore a red floral cotton jacket. This cotton jacket was still the wedding dress when she got married. People rely on clothes. Li He'er wore this clothes, not only was she more energetic than usual, but she was much more cute.
Li He'er wrapped her headscarf and said, "Yuzhu, do you need me to bring you something?"
Lin Yuzhu had a plan in her mind: "Sister-in-law, you sell those two things and just buy me two kilograms of candy to come back. Buy An An and Pingping for the remaining silver and make two sets of clothes for them."
To be ashamed, her aunt has never bought anything for her two nephews.
Li He'er originally wanted to explain a piece of money that she would not spend on Yuzhu, but she swallowed it back when she said that. Let's talk about it later.
As for why Lin Yuzhu bought candy, she thought Lin Yuzhu needed to replenish her body, so she didn't ask much.
A pound of candy costs fifteen cents. Although it was a bit expensive, the two things sold could still leave a lot of copper coins, so I didn't have any trouble. I asked if there was anything I needed to bring, and then I left after confirming that there was no one.
Shortly after Li He'er left, An An and Pingping entered the house laughed and played.
Zhang Bihua entered the house with a bowl of sugar-water eggs.
The Lin family is not rich, and the eggs laid by chickens are sold for money. Zhang Bihua feels sorry for Lin Yuzhu, so this time he keeps twenty eggs to nourish Lin Yuzhu.
An An and Pingping glanced at the eggs in the bowl, and the two swallowed at the same time. Lin Yuzhu saw everything in her eyes. Knowing that Zhang Bihua would not agree to her giving the eggs to her two children in the house, she said, "Did I ask my brother to cut the bamboo for me yesterday?"
Zhang Bihua sat by the brazier, waiting to collect the bowls to wash. When she saw Lin Yuzhu asking, she asked, "What do you want that thing to do? And I heard your brother say you are thinking about making money? Mom knows that you are worried about your family, but your parents have raised you for more than ten years. Has you been hungry? Don't worry about so much, keep it at home with peace of mind. This woman can't think too much about things during confinement, so as not to have a headache in the future."
Every time she talks about this, she blames herself. The Qin family’s marriage was chosen by them, and Qin Hanyang was also the one who valued it at the beginning...
But I didn't expect that Qin Hanyang was a short-lived person, but it made her daughter suffer.
Lin Yuzhu was thinking about giving the eggs to her two children and laughed: "I'm not talking casually. Mom, please help me bring the chopped bamboo into the house, and bring the hatchet in at the same time."
Zhang Bihua sighed and left the house.
After confirming that Zhang Bihua was gone, Lin Yuzhu patted An An and Pingping's head and said, "Auntie will give you eggs, don't tell others."
Although An An is not old, she is very sensible. Just now when she saw her grandmother boiling eggs, her grandmother said that the egg was used to nourish her aunt's body. She quickly shook her head and said, "Auntie wants to feed her younger brother and younger sister. Only after her younger brother and younger sister can she have milk. An An and Pingping should not eat it."
As he said that, he swallowed his saliva, but his eyes did not move away from the egg. Pingping leaned against Lin Anan, without saying anything, but looked at the bowl with a eager look.
To be honest, Lin Qianzi felt distressed when the two children looked at the two eggs in the bowl, picked up one of them with chopsticks, and picked up half of them to Lin Pingping's mouth, coaxing: "Auntie is enough to eat one, and the remaining one An An is good to eat evenly."
Lin Pingping raised his head and looked at Lin Anan. He refused to eat it without Lin Anan's consent, but the eggs smell so good.
Seeing that Lin Anan was still hesitating, Lin Yuzhu continued, "What should I do? Anan and Pingping will not eat, and my aunt will not eat."
The child needs to coax and deceive. As expected, Lin Anan agreed and ate half an egg with Lin Pingping alone.
Before Zhang Bihua entered the house, she quickly ate the eggs in the bowl and drank the sugar water with her two children without wasting her.
Li He'er is not at home and Zhang Bihua is busy with things, so the task of taking care of two children falls on Lin Yuzhu.
Lin Anan and Lin Pingping were very well-behaved and not noisy. They quietly looked at the two little guys on the bed, and occasionally asked some small questions, while Lin Yuzhu explained patiently.
Next to the brazier, there were already more than twenty cut bamboo sticks in the bamboo basket at Lin Yuzhu's feet. She was not proficient in splitting bamboo, but because the original owner was very proficient, she did a good job.
As noon approached, Zhang Bihua came back from the mountain and picked half a basket of sour fruits. They were all very big, and they were very red.
Zhang Bihua carried the basket directly to Lin Yuzhu's house and said, "You eat less if the sour fruit is too sour. Even if you are greedy, don't you know if you know."
