Chapter 222 A family should care about each other

Lin Feng understood what he meant, “You want to go!”

Lin’s mother quickly said, “You can’t go there. There are prickly weeds growing everywhere outside the pond, and there are snakes in the grass. Don’t go there!”

Lu Qingxue was startled, and saw that Lin’s mother’s expression was not lying.

Lin’s mother reminded Lin Feng, “Put on your rain boots. They’ll be needed for the fork!”

Lin Feng asked, “Which pond?”

Lin’s mother said, “It’s the pond with a lot of reeds around it and a walnut tree underneath, remember?”

Lin Feng said, “Oh, then don’t go. Stay at home and play with Ping An and Ru Yi.” Lu Qingxue said, “Oh,” and went out to play with the children.

Lin Feng also got up and packed his things to go fishing with Uncle Zhou. Ruyi and Ping’an were playing in the yard. When Ruyi saw that her father was leaving again, she burst into tears and said, “Don’t go, don’t go!”

Ping An also looked at them eagerly, looking so pitiful that he was almost crying.

The children just cried in fits. Before, when Lin Feng went to pick corn or something, the two little guys didn’t say anything.

Why are you crying again suddenly now?

Lu Qingxue explained to the two babies, “Dad and Grandpa Zhou are going to pick corn and will be back soon.”

Ruyi got angry and refused to let her father leave no matter what. She hugged his legs and shook him.

“No, I won’t go, Dad, Dad!”

Lin Feng said yes repeatedly, “Okay, Dad won’t leave, Dad won’t leave!”

Ruyi laughed intermittently. Uncle Zhou said, “We can go there in the evening and catch some yellow eels while we’re there.”

So, the afternoon fishing plan was put on hold until the evening.

Lu Qingxue approached her husband and asked, like a child who had never seen the world.

“Honey, is it fun to catch yellow eels?”

Lin Feng quickly told Lu Qingxue to give up the idea, “It’s not fun, just carry a backpack and take a pair of fire tongs or bamboo clamps.”

“I tried to catch them when I was in middle school, but I didn’t know how to do it! Besides, there were leeches in the paddy fields and mosquitoes on the shore. You couldn’t even think about following them.”

When Lu Qingxue heard this, her expression suddenly changed and she shook her head like a rattle.

“Then I won’t go, I won’t go!”

Lin Feng smiled, “Let’s go, let’s go together!”

Lu Qingxue patted him and said, “I’m not going. You and Uncle Zhou can go.”

In the evening, Lin Feng found some tender corns and used a grater to rub them into a paste.

Then use the strainer to filter out the corn husks, and then wash a few clean corn leaves.

Finally, pour the corn pulp on the leaves and steam them for Ping An Ru Yi to eat!
“Wash your hands and eat delicious food with peace and happiness.”

As soon as Lin Feng said this, he heard a clattering sound. The fastest runner was undoubtedly Ruyi.
“What to eat? What to eat?”

She kept asking questions, and when she saw the cornmeal on the table, she stood on tiptoe to see it clearly:
“What is it, what is it?”

Lu Qingxue came over holding her son’s hand, “Ruyi, do you have wind and fire wheels under your feet? Are you running so fast?”

Seeing that his daughter was having such a hard time standing on tiptoe, Lin Feng picked her up and showed her a look.

“Go, wash your hands, then you can eat!”

After washing the two children’s hands, he fed them spoonful after spoonful, “Is it delicious?”

Ruyi nodded heavily, “Delicious!”

Ping An also nodded obediently and said it was delicious, and the two little guys ate it all.

Ruyi wanted to eat more, but Lin Feng said there was no more, “Dad will make it for you tomorrow when he gets it back from the fields.

At night, as soon as the children fell asleep, Lin Feng followed Uncle Zhou to fish and catch eels.

“Xiao Feng, please move away and let me fish. You don’t know how to cast a net.” Uncle Zhou’s family was the only one that had a piece of land in use around here. Seeing that no one was using the pond, he and Lin’s mother bought some fish fry to feed it.

There were several times when Uncle Zhou caught someone secretly fishing and he would curse at them.

He would come over to take a look from time to time, and even put up a wire fence around the pond.

Uncle Zhou cursed as he fished, “It must be that bird that came to steal the fish again. There’s not much left in the net now!”

After working hard for a long time, I caught two grass carps and two crucian carps!
On the way back, I deliberately took a detour, walked through the paddy fields, and caught some eels.

Lin Feng was busy until almost three o’clock before he got home. He saw that his mother was still awake and weaving mats in the dining room.

“Mom, why aren’t you asleep yet?”

“I’m waiting for you. By the way, I’ll make a bed mat for you. This is a green mat. It’s very cool to sleep on.”

The Qingliang mat is the outermost layer of bamboo, and Lin’s mother is almost done weaving it!
No wonder I called to ask how big the mat was!
Mother Lin took one look at the backpack and said, “It’s OK, enough for one meal.

Lin Feng poured them all into the bucket, “Uncle Zhou said someone stole the fish. There used to be a lot of them.”

Mother Lin hummed, “That can’t be helped. The pond is far from us, and we can’t always keep an eye on it.”

“Sometimes we know who stole the things but there is nothing we can do. After all, we are from the same village. We will see each other sooner or later. Sigh.”

Lin Feng asked, “Mom, why do you sleep?”

Mother Lin said, “I’ll go to bed after I finish this, you should go to bed quickly.”

Lin Feng hummed, “Then Mom, go to sleep quickly.”

Mother Lin was busy until after four o’clock and finally finished weaving the mat.

It was a bit irritating at first, but it will go away after a while of sleeping!
The next morning when Lin Feng woke up, he saw his mother holding a needle and searching for something with her fingers. Needless to say, it was a stab wound.

Lin Feng went over and squatted down, “Mom, let me do it for you, you hold this.”

It was similar to squeezing a pimple. Lin Feng picked out the small thorn with a needle in just a few seconds.

“Also, there is one here, but I don’t see where it is. Can you show it to me?

After listening to Lin’s mother’s words, Lin Feng searched for a long time and found a small black dot, “Found it, it’s here!”

After picking out the thorns, Lin’s mother felt much better and rubbed her hands.

“You have good eyesight. I have been looking for it for a long time but couldn’t find it.”

The wheat thresher came here today, threshing Aunt Zhou’s wheat first, and then theirs.

Lin’s mother repeatedly reminded Lu Qingxue.

“You and your child should not come out. The husks from the threshing wheat are flying everywhere and it will make you itchy if they fall on you.”

“The windows must be closed tightly to prevent wheat husks and ashes from coming in!”

Lin Feng wanted to help, but was stopped by his mother, “Stay aside.”

After a while, the machine was pulled in. When it was turned on, the rumbling sound made Ping An Ruyi unable to sleep.

The two little guys couldn’t sleep and wanted to find their parents, and they were so sleepy that they got angry!
The couple walked back and forth in the room, each holding one child in their arms, and the little ones fell asleep in their arms.

I thought I was in a deep sleep, but when I put it down, I heard a loud noise and I got startled.

There was no way to pick him up and comfort him again.

I beat Aunt Zhou from noon until after three in the morning and finally finished beating her.

Mother Lin felt itchy all over, so she quickly took a shower to feel better, and then poured some talcum powder for peace and happiness.

Feeling much more refreshed!
The next day, I started at around 7am, took a break at noon, and then played from the afternoon until 9pm. I finally finished and thought that was it?
Some of the wheat was mixed with husks, and the husks were blown out with a windmill.

Lin Feng made pickled fish, braised yellow eel, and gave two crucian carps to the babies to make soup.

After lunch, I coaxed the babies to take a nap. They have been too noisy these past two days and the children didn’t sleep well.

It’s different when you have someone to help you. You can finish the work in no time!
