After getting engaged, although she never heard Lin Jinrong say anything about not getting married, or say anything wrong to anyone related to the Lu family, she never showed much joy. Every New Year's Eve when Lu Yan came to her door to give gifts and greetings, she always avoided him.
From a distance, never coming close to her, Mrs. Lin praised her for being polite, courteous, quiet and virtuous, and asked Lin Wu and the twins to follow her example, but Mrs. Tao knew that she was actually not very happy.
This kid was too honest, and he couldn't find any other reason other than this Tao. He was about to give Lin Jinrong a few words of tactful advice, but he had already reached the end of the road, so he had to put aside his thoughts for the time being, and got out of the car to greet everyone without mentioning it.
But Lin Wu ran over and hugged Lin Jinrong's arm and smiled: "Fourth sister, brother and the others are going to pick vegetables in the fields. You go and tell third aunt that we can also go to the fields to pick vegetables, okay?"
Mrs. Tao then smiled and said: "Five girls, your third aunt and I are standing by. You are going to pick vegetables from the fields. Instead of telling me, the landlord, directly, you want your fourth sister to tell me to turn this corner."
And why?”
Lin Wu said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid of being scolded? People say that the fourth sister is sensible and quiet. When she spoke, the elders were reluctant to scold her even if they didn't agree." After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Mai who was standing not far away.
. She has officially engaged Zhou Mai. She usually avoids suspicion and has no chance to get along and talk. Today is the best time to get along openly and openly.
Mrs. Tao looked at Lu Yan, who was standing side by side with Zhou Mai, and said, "What's so difficult about this? There is a large field behind here, and the wild vegetables in it are plentiful and tender. I let the wild vegetables in Zhuangzi
The steward will take people to clean up. You can go wherever you want, except for one thing. Don’t complain about soiling your new clothes and new shoes." After saying that, he called Tie Huai to clean up the irrelevant people in the field behind him, and then went back.
Old lady Tong Lin said.
Old Mrs. Lin had been jolted all the way and her old bones were sore and crispy. She just wanted to lie down and take a rest. She said: "I just went out to pick vegetables and see flowers. Please be careful."
Just eat some." But he remembered the twins, looked at them sternly and said, "Go, I'll wait for you to eat the dishes you picked at noon. After eating, go to Qingliang Temple to burn incense and look at the flowers."
She had two meanings. One was that everyone should go, hoping that the twins could take this opportunity to get back on good terms with other people and not make people laugh. The other was that they should not go for too long and should stop at the right time.
Tao, Zhou, Luo and others naturally understood. They each called their children and warned them in detail. No matter what, they are not allowed to cause trouble. They must be harmonious and beautiful. If anything happens, we will discuss it behind closed doors.
The scenery here is beautiful, who wouldn't know about it when everyone is traveling together? The twins wanted to go, but they just couldn't save their dignity, so they just followed it at this moment. Since they should follow what the adults say, they thought they were a bit annoying because they talked too much.
.Seeing that the sisters-in-law were gone, the eyes of the young ladies of the Lin family showed longing for each other. Mr. Tao simply acted as a good person and said with a smile: "I don't have a daughter-in-law, and I am jealous when I see you enjoying the blessings of a daughter-in-law."
"
Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but laugh: "You have such a mouth!" So she also let her two daughters-in-law go to play. Seeing this, Mrs. Luo didn't want to be given a harsh reputation, so she also let her two daughters-in-law go.
You said obediently: "We, the three sisters-in-law, will stay here to serve my mother-in-law."
Mrs. Tao thought for a while, then stepped forward to beat Mrs. Lin's legs, and slowly talked about Lin Liu'er.
But they said that Lin Jinrong and others had walked out of the back door. Miao Ya had already led a few servants and girls, carrying baskets and knives for picking vegetables, and was waiting aside. She lead them to the fields with a smile. She was just trying to show them off and teach them how to recognize them.
I couldn't eat any wild vegetables, but I didn't expect the vegetables they picked to serve.
Lin Jinrong had already identified all these wild vegetables. He didn't need any further instruction, so he, Miao Ya, and Lychee went all the way along the field to look for shepherd's purse, dandelion, amaranth, purslane, and sage.
No, I picked them all and put them in the basket.
Lin Shenzhi also ran after her with a knife, and from time to time he would dig in the ground a few times, but what he dug was not wild vegetables, but insects. After catching the insects, he would often stuff lychees into his hands as a prank, which made the lychees cry out to him.
He laughed loudly, and happily took it again and ran to the back to scare Lin Wu and others, causing a lot of screams.
He is the age when he is playful and naughty. He is usually held too tightly by Mr. Lin, and Mrs. Tao also keeps a close eye on him. Lin Jinrong feels sorry for him, and adheres to the principle of not caring if no one comes to complain to her, and lets him go.
It was noisy. While I was picking vegetables, I listened to Miao Ya telling interesting stories about Liu'er, how Lin Shiquan's second brother's newly married daughter-in-law was so powerful, and how he and Ma's family were quarreling all day long, clamoring to separate the family. Miao Ya's story was vivid and interesting.
Lin Jinrong and Li Zhi are so funny.
In the midst of the excitement, someone suddenly laughed and said: "Fourth sister, you are the only one who is as good as us. In just a short time, you have picked half a basket of wild vegetables. I just came over there, and among your sisters-in-law, you can't even pick the bottom of the basket."
It's not covered tightly." It was Lin Fanzhi from the second room who spoke.
Lin Jinrong looked up and saw Lin Fanzhi, Lin Yizhi and Lu Yan standing aside. They all lifted up a corner of their robes and pinned them to their belts. Each of them had a knife in his hand, which was covered with mud. Behind Lu Yan, Changshou Ti
I picked up a basket. Although there were a lot of wild vegetables in the basket, most of them were inedible. I couldn't help but laugh: "Brothers are not much better. Although there are many vegetables you picked, I don't dare to eat them.
I'm afraid the cook won't dare to take the pot."
Lin Fanzhi smiled and said: "We are men, so we can't be blamed if we don't recognize each other." After thinking about it, he added: "How about, fourth sister, help us pick out the dishes that we can't eat?"
Lu Yan took the basket from Changshou and handed it to Lin Jinrong.
Lin Jinrong lowered his eyes and said, "I can't recognize them all either. Miao Ya, please help the young masters choose."
"Hey!" Miao Ya smiled and reached out to take the basket in Lu Yan's hand, but Lu Yan held it tightly and pushed the basket in front of Lin Jinrong. Miao Ya couldn't help being surprised and looked up.
When I went, I saw that although Lu Yan still had a smile on his face, his lips were already pursed, and his eyes were fixed on Lin Jinrong with an expression of indescribable stubbornness.
Lin Fanzhi looked at the two of them playfully. Lin Yizhi saw that the momentum was not good and hurriedly said: "Fourth sister, we are all family members. No one will laugh at you if you make a mistake."
Lin Jinrong was silent for a moment, then finally took the basket from Lu Yan's hand, threw out all the inedible wild vegetables without raising his head, picked out one of each wild vegetable from his basket, and introduced them one by one: "This
It’s shepherd’s purse, it’s dandelion, amaranth, purslane, and sage. Just choose according to this. Otherwise, let Miao Ya follow you and let her teach you, and you won’t go wrong.”
Her expression was serious, and so was Lu Yan's. The two of them didn't seem to be talking about wild vegetables, but rather they seemed to be talking about a very serious matter. No one took the initiative to take a step forward, and no one made any unnecessary movements.
, both of their eyes were fixed on those few wild vegetables. Lin Fanzhi looked bored and said: "Your fourth sister-in-law called me, I will go over and have a look." After that, he left.
"That's all I know." Lin Jinrong handed the basket to Lin Yizhi, turned around and continued picking wild vegetables.
Lin Yizhi didn't dare not accept the basket, but he remembered Tao's instructions to greet Lu Yan. He glanced at Lu Yan cautiously and saw that Lu Yan didn't look unhappy, but was holding Lin Jinrong in his hand.
He lowered his eyes and took a closer look at the selected wild vegetables. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, are you still picking vegetables?"
Lu Yan threw the wild vegetables back into the basket, glanced at Lin Jinrong, and said: "Pick." Without walking far, he and Lin Yizhi continued to pick vegetables not far from Lin Jinrong, running over from time to time.
A few words to Lin Shenzhi, who was crazy about him: "Don't get your clothes dirty. After eating, you have to go to your husband's house."
Miao Ya was a little amused, whispering to Li Zhi: "The girl doesn't care about the seventh young master, but he takes care of him. The young cousin chooses vegetables just like writing..." She didn't know much about what happened between Lin Jinrong and Lu Mian, she just
When Lin Jinrong came to live in Zhuangzi last winter, I heard Li Zhi mentioned it. She only knew that Lin Jinrong was not very satisfied with the marriage. She subconsciously thought that Lin Jinrong was the evil mother-in-law who disliked Mrs. Gu. She didn't think anything else about Lu Mian.
No, Lu Yan seems to be a little closer to her than before.
Li Zhi looked back and saw that although Lin Wu and Zhou Mai were separated by the rest of the Lin family, they were one behind the other and not far apart. Lin Jinrong and Lu Mian were not too far apart, so they felt relieved.
, whispered: "Be careful not to let the girl hear you."
But he saw Lin Jinrong as if he hadn't heard anything, and he was concentrating on picking vegetables, as if he had not heard anything, but his movements were fast and ruthless, as if he had a grudge against the wild vegetables. Looking back, he saw Lu Yan's "
The "writing-like" movements were gone, and they were fast and ruthless. Both of them had their heads buried in picking vegetables, as if they could not wait to pick all the edible wild vegetables in the field into their own baskets. In this way,
, the distance that was relatively close at first is getting farther and farther.
Lychee couldn't help but sigh softly. This was another waste. Could it be that picking some wild vegetables also had to determine the winner? If this continues, they would really get married in the future, but what's the big deal? The wife originally wanted to
The knot in the girl's heart was smaller, but it had the opposite effect. Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly saw Lu Yan standing up, looking at Lin Jinrong with a complicated expression, and then looked back at Lin Shenzhi and said with a smile: "Stop playing.
Let me teach you how to recognize the dishes. If the husband asks, you can at least name one or two. If you can pick some with your own hands and bring them as a gift, the husband will definitely like it."
As expected, Lin Shenzhi became interested: "Sir, do you also like to eat wild vegetables? Then my second brother and I will pick them together. Second brother, you can teach me." So he stopped digging for worms and followed Lu Yan seriously to identify the vegetables.
Lychee breathed a sigh of relief and looked back, only to see that Lin Jinrong's picking of vegetables had also slowed down.
Not long after, someone came to call and said that the old lady had woken up and asked everyone to go back. Everyone had to compare the dishes they picked. Lin Jinrong had the most and best. Although the baskets picked by Lu Yan and Lin Shenzhi were not many.
, but the appearance is the best, there is not even a weed or an inedible wild vegetable.
Lin Fanzhi smiled: "Both the teacher and the student are good."
Lin Qi asked curiously: "What sir and student?"
Lin Fanzhi smiled and said nothing. Lin Liu glanced at Lin Jinrong and Lu Mian lightly, raised his head and turned around to leave.
