Chapter 38 Sister can’t catch a rabbit with bare hands
Lin Yu's brain began to think about the memories left by the original person, but the original memory was too dim. Under the pressure of her book for more than a year, it had long become blurry and faded, making it impossible to see clearly.
Lin Yu's eyes went from clear to confused, and her brain went from messy to sluggish.
Who would have thought that Lin Yu, who was often said to have the smartest brain and the most dexterous hands by the villagers, would actually be a person who couldn't even tell the difference between wild vegetables and wild grasses?
The voice of the child next to her woke up Lin Yu, and she turned to look.
Only a few skinny children in shabby clothes were seen. Their black eyes were full of exhaustion, but they were looking at her warily at the moment, holding a handful of green plants in their hands.
The backpack on the back was also filled with green plants that were definitely not pigweed.
Lin Yu's eyes lit up. After all, pig grass was what he cut the most. Moreover, pigweed grows tall, not as short as wild vegetables, so she still recognizes it.
In other words, these children were filled with wild vegetables. She took two steps forward excitedly. But those children were very vigilant and took a step back. The little boy in the lead even blocked the two little ones behind them.
Lin Yu was a little confused, and his blank mind suddenly remembered that there were also several people who had been sent to labor camps in their Hongqi Village.
One of the old men and a couple had children respectively, and now it seemed that they should be the three in front of them. She just said, how could the children in the village wear such shabby clothes, and would even let a six- or seven-year-old child dig wild vegetables alone.
Lin Yu thought for a while, waved to them and said, "Children, come here... I'll make a deal with you."
As he spoke, he took out a handful of White Rabbit toffees, melon seeds and peanuts from his pocket. The children couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw the food in Lin Yu's hands, with longing in their eyes.
But they didn't come over immediately. Instead, they looked up at the boy standing in front of them.
These candies were easily available to them in the past, but they are extremely rare to them now. As if remembering the sweet taste, the two children behind couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
The little boy at the head was more vigilant. Although he was eager for the candy, he still asked doubtfully: "What do you want to do? What kind of deal?"
They had stayed in other villages for some time before, so they naturally knew how good the environment in Hongqi Village was for people with bad backgrounds like them.
Therefore, they are not so wary of the people in their village. Most of the aunts in the village are soft-hearted. When they see their children coming to the mountains to look for food to satisfy their hunger, they will secretly help.
Sometimes it’s a handful of wild vegetables, sometimes it’s a handful of mushrooms.
Seeing that their faces were relaxed, Lin Yu said with some distress: "My mother asked me to pick wild vegetables, but I don't recognize them. If you can help me fill this basket, I will give you all these candies and peanuts." "
This handful of candies was stacked so high that there were seven or eight at a glance.
Counting it down, there are definitely no less than ten.
The little boy looked at the small basket and nodded hesitantly: "If it's just one basket, you're giving too much."
Lin Yu: "It doesn't matter, I won't be able to finish all of this anyway. And I might have to come up to dig wild vegetables in the future, and I might even bother you."
Seeing what Lin Yu said, the children poured out the wild vegetables from the baskets behind them and filled Lin Yu's baskets full of them. Lin Yu nodded with satisfaction: "Then these things are yours."
As he said this, he picked up his backpack and started to leave. Suddenly he remembered Huang Cui's warning and hesitated again.
My mother asked her to come up and pick wild vegetables to pass the time. Anyway, she couldn't go to Old Man Zhou's place today, otherwise she would have to go to the ground for the next three days.
It's not that Lin Yu hates going to the ground, but her experiment has reached a critical juncture, and delaying it for half a day is enough to make her feel itchy. If it were delayed for three days, it would almost kill her...
So she had no choice but to hold back her eagerness and instead walked around at the foot of the mountain.
After the three children received their things, they no longer cared about Lin Yu who was milling around nearby. Each person shared a piece of candy and continued to pick wild vegetables with satisfaction.
The rest should be kept and distributed to the family members living in the cowshed, sweet mouth.
Lin Fei quickly finished the work in his vegetable field and hurried out to find his sister.
He knew that his sister was extremely smart and unparalleled in some aspects. But she absolutely couldn't tell the difference between wild vegetables and wild vegetables.
Don't ask Lin Fei why he knew it. One day last year, Lin Fei watched his sister pull out a weed with absolute confidence on her face, which was actually a vegetable seedling...
Before Lin Yu took action on the next vegetable seedling, Lin Fei sent her away with righteous words, and then quickly cleared away the weeds in the vegetable field before Lin Yu came back.
He must not let his sister harm the vegetable fields, this was the thought that came to Lin Fei's mind at that time.
Now, my sister has gone up the mountain. If I pulled out a basket of weeds and brought them back, my mother would definitely laugh at her sister for days. My sister has a thin face and cannot be laughed at.
Otherwise, she would hide in the door of her room or at Old Man Zhou's house during those days because of her shyness. And Huang Cui is a talkative person. She shares her sister's good deeds and some embarrassing things with the aunts in the village.
If the aunts in the village knew that my sister was a person who did not distinguish between wild vegetables and weeds, they might make fun of her for days. Thinking of the last time she was teased, Lin Yu was so shy that she did not appear at the entrance of the village or in crowded places for a whole week.
Lin Fei's steps that were about to fly became faster. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the wild vegetable field, he saw his sister sitting under the tree, looking up at the sky with a confused face.
The basket on the side is already filled with green wild vegetables.
He didn't believe that this basket of vegetables without a single weed was dug by his sister. He looked at the bulging pockets of the child over there, and then looked at the pockets that Huang Cui had filled with candies and peanuts that Lin Yu had filled before going out.
Lin Fei breathed a sigh of relief. His sister was not stupid. Now that she had thought of a solution, Lin Fei was not in a hurry.
He called me sister forward, and Lin Fei, who had gained a sense of nutrition over the past year, had a little more baby fat on his face.
The skin that was thin and yellow due to lack of nutrition gradually became white and tender, at least it looked like a child of this age should. Lin Yu raised her hand and pinched his fleshy cheek: "Xiao Fei, sister is so boring."
I remembered that my sister originally liked reading, and she became even more addicted to the books sent by Professor Chen and brother Bai Bao this year. It's just that I didn't use the time for eating and sleeping. No wonder I was kicked out by my mother.
Even he rarely has time to play with his sister... Thinking of this, Lin Fei rolled his eyes: "Sister, let's go hunting?"
"hunt?"
"Yes, I heard from Uncle Lin Jiao that there are so many hares on the mountain now that they are almost overrun! We have to make some contribution to Hongqi Village and clean up some hares!"
As mentioned before, there is a rabbit slope in Hongqi Village, and the rabbits there are very difficult to hunt.
And rabbits are animals that reproduce very quickly. Over the past year, the people in the village have been busy with geography and have not had time to organize a large hunting team.
Rabbits have begun to come out of the rabbit slope, and there are wild grasses and plants in the forest.
The wild vegetable patch closest to the Rabbit Slope has been eaten a lot by them.
Lin Yu looked at her hands, which were rough from making parts, and then at Lin Fei, whose face was full of excitement: "Xiao Fei, sister may not be able to catch these rabbits with her bare hands..."
