Happy peasant girl

Chapter 22
Such a shocking scene, even if it was just heard, the people in Linjia Village were all terrified. These brats are really desperate!

The warm winter sun just now was covered by dark clouds, and the originally festive and lively farmyard was replaced by angry silence, crying fear and lamenting helplessness.

After the six teenagers and two villagers changed into the clean and warm clothes hurriedly brought over by their family members at Lao Lin's house, they looked at the gloomy faces of Grandpa Hao and Linyuanshan in the yard, Grandpa Bao's apologetic eyes, and Mu Shi, Sun, and Zhao had red eyes.

The six teenagers understood that although they had hunted wild boars and hares, what awaited them next was not a heroic triumph, but a terrible storm.

"Kneel down!" Grandpa Hao hasn't been the village head for many years, but his majestic aura still made many people present tense up.

Headed by Lin Erhu, the six teenagers knelt on their knees with a plop. They lowered their heads slightly, their lips were slightly pursed, and their eyes were mixed with complex lights. They had fears, guilt, grievances, joy, and stubbornness... …

Soon, the villagers who heard about the wild boar incident surrounded the old Lin's house with three floors inside and three floors outside. The patriarch Lin Renyi and several clan elders also rushed over.

It has been almost three months since Linqingxi came to this different time and space. This is the first time she has seen so many people in Linjia Village, and such a big scene is happening in her own home. The participants in the incident include her fifth brother.

Lin Qingxi and Lin Xiaoyu stood beside the members of the Mu family. She looked at the six teenagers kneeling in front of Grandpa Hao and the patriarch, and she had a vague intuition that the reason why they entered the deep mountain this time was very likely to be behind the scenes. Lin Qinghe, the fifth brother whose passion for adventure was ignited by her, or he was born like this in his bones.

"Brother, tell me!" Grandpa Hao and the patriarch Lin Renyi are cousins, this time is not a trivial matter, as the patriarch Lin Renyi should be in charge of the overall situation.

"Tell me, who made the idea to go to the back mountain?" Lin Renyi, as the patriarch of the Lin clan, has always been very kind and lenient to the clan members, but when it comes to big things, he is also clear about rewards and punishments, decisive in dealing with things, and very Some Thunder wrists.

"It's me!" Lin Qinghe answered first.

"It's not Liulang, it's me!"

"No, it's me!"

"It's me!"

"What are you grabbing, it's obviously me!"

"It was my idea!"

The other five teenagers also came out one after another and said that it was their own idea to go to the deep mountains. Regardless of their young age, they are very loyal and cannot let one person bear all the responsibilities.

"Huh, you guys are very loyal. Do you know that you can't get out after entering the deep mountains and old forests. You guys were lucky enough to catch these things today. If you hadn't been met by Uncle Rong and Uncle Cheng, you would have entered the forest a long time ago. The belly of a wolf!" To be honest, Lin Renyi also admired these children in his heart, but these children were too courageous, and they didn't know the power of wild beasts at all.

"Grandfather, the deep mountains are not scary at all. There are edible wild vegetables, groups of rabbits, and many wild animals. If we had gone hunting in the mountains a few years ago, our village would not have starved to death so many people." Lin Erhu is not as afraid of Lin Renyi as others are, and he doesn't think he has done anything wrong, just like Lin Qinghe said to him, the people in Linjia Village are timid, guarding a treasure mountain can give themselves to others. starve.

"You bastard, do you still want to go in?" Mr. Hao looked at his grandson angrily.

"Why can't you go in! There are so many good things in the mountains, you'd be a fool if you don't go in!" Lin Erhu is a tiger, with a stubborn temper and courage. He is also like Lin Qinghe. the benefits of.

Grandpa Hao was so angry that he wanted to raise his arms and hit Lin Erhu, but was stopped by Lin Renyi. After Lin Erhu's instigation, it is no longer a matter of a few children, but the whole Linjia Village should pay attention to it. something happened.

Next, after discussing with several clan elders at the old Lin's house, Lin Renyi temporarily held a "clan meeting", the content of which was to vote on whether the villagers of Linjia Village should go deep into the mountains to plan food.

In the end, to Lin Qingxi's surprise, except for the six kneeling teenagers and herself, all the villagers sided with the patriarch.Afterwards, Lin Xiaoyu thought that Lin Qingxi's head was not completely healed, so she sided with Lin Erhu and the others.

In the middle of the night, lying on his wooden bed, Lin Qingxi tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep no matter what.Compared with the backward, feudal, conservative, and traditional people in her impression of the ancient times, Linjia Village is fairly democratic from the patriarch to the villagers.

However, after these years of natural disasters, man-made disasters, exploitation and oppression, instead of learning to find another way to survive in the miserable life, they have become less and less courageous, and their inexplicable fear of the unknown world makes them hesitate to make progress and shrink back. .

Fortunately, Linjia Village can still be saved, at least there are still six brave and fearless teenagers in this environment.

At this time, Lin Qingxi still didn't know that Lin Erhu, Lin Qinghe, Lin Yongjie, Lin Dajun, Lin Xuequan, and Lin Xiaobo, the protagonists of the six wild boar incidents, had been guided and helped by her heart after several years. , Become the main force for the development and growth of Linjia Village and even the Lin clan in the future.

Although the wedding of Linhu and Zhao Lanhua did not have a rich dowry, it was the busiest event in Linjia Village because of the soybean pancakes Lin Qingxi thought up and the wild boars and hares that Lin Erhu and Lin Qinghe hunted. For a wedding, almost all the villagers in Linjia Village came to Grandpa Bao's house to join in the fun.

Lin Renyi, the patriarch, greeted the women of the Mu clan beforehand. They ground the few bags of soybeans into soybean flour, and then asked them to go to the town to buy black noodles and make as many soybean cakes and steamed buns as possible.

So, the next day, Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Mu, and Mrs. Ma called some women they knew in the village to help. The most full ever.

After finishing Linhu's wedding, on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Mu family, the Qin family, and the Wu family went to Xiao'an Town again. Take them to make some New Year's goods and gifts for returning to their mother's house.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, there was another heavy snowfall. Zhao Lanhua returned home for three days and was kicked out of the house by her elder brother. In a rage, Linhu took his new wife and severed ties with her natal family.

On New Year's Eve, families in Linjia Village are busy offering sacrifices to their ancestors. In fact, they just burn some paper money for their ancestors, and they rarely even place offerings of fruit.In previous years, after offering sacrifices to ancestors, every family would post Spring Festival couplets, hang lanterns, and children would set off firecrackers, but now villagers have to paste red paper on both sides of the door to celebrate.

In the evening, the whole family had a reunion dinner. Those who were richer made dumplings, and those who were not rich had to watch the smoke rising from their cooking.
