The Princess of Northern Land

"You're right. The village is only a little big. If you walk around more, you'll get to know each other." Another aunt holding a child in her hand agreed. "As long as there are no injuries elsewhere, it is a blessing among misfortunes. You can keep these green vegetables to eat."

After saying that, she put down a basket.

"How can this be done?" Guo Huiniang wanted to refuse in embarrassment.

"It's not a good thing. All the freshly grown vegetables at your home have been sold. It's not a good idea to eat vegetables all the time." Sister-in-law Bai stuffed the basket into her hands, "They are all grown by me, and we are neighbors. You He always helps us a lot. Why are you refusing to eat some vegetables?"

"Thank you, ma'am. You're welcome to accept it." It's hard for men to talk about this kind of human exchange. Guo Huiniang saw that Mr. Lin didn't object, so she accepted the gifts from everyone.

"It's not a good idea at all for the Ma family to take advantage of the situation. It's just a boy who passed the exam, and they are not a scholar. They did not do the right thing to cancel the engagement, but instead they made a fuss about asking for a betrothal gift. This kind of person should be thundered from the sky. Just chop them up. You Lin family are the only ones who are kind and willing to return their things, otherwise other people would ignore them." It can be seen that Sister-in-law Bai is a straightforward person, and she was a little angry when she mentioned the Ma family. .

"What are you doing talking about that kind of family?" Aunt Bai glared at her daughter-in-law, then patted the back of Zi Ge's hand to comfort her, "Zi Ge is a good girl. If you ask me, it's better to leave this kind of family before we get married."

Lin Zige nodded with red eyes.

Lin Ziyin was like an outsider who only listened but did not speak. Anyway, her "brain" was injured now, so she would not arouse others' suspicion if she did not speak.

"Just a child, Yan's ostentation in the village is even worse than winning the first prize." Another aunt said disdainfully. It seems that Yan has aroused everyone's anger in the village.

…

Then several women gave Yan a hard slap, threw down some small gifts, and left in a hurry with satisfaction.

"These are all people who are good friends with our Lin family. You will be right to make more friends with them when you go out in the future." Lin Zige taught Lin Ziyin.

"I know." Lin Ziyin nodded and agreed.

"Dad, my second sister and I did these together." Lin Yanzhi finally found a chance to show off. As soon as they left, he immediately pulled Lin Changshu to show off.

"What are these things used for?" Lin Changshu asked, looking at the shelves and chopping boards.

"Keep it secret." Lin Yanzhi repeated Lin Ziyin's words, and his serious look immediately made everyone laugh.

"You will know tomorrow." Lin Ziyin replied with a smile.

Lin Changshu and the others were busy with other matters, but no one asked further questions.

In the afternoon, Lin Ziyin, Lin Changting and Lin Yanzhi picked the beans and put them in bags. Then she took out more than ten kilograms of beans and soaked them. She was just making them for the first time, and she didn't plan to make more.

"Sister, where is the salt at home?" Lin Ziyin asked Lin Zige, who was sitting in the yard holding an embroidery.

"The salt is in the jar." Lin Zige replied.

Lin Ziyin walked directly into the kitchen and found a jar of salt on the stove. Unfortunately, there was too little salt in the jar, not enough for her to make salt brine.

"Sister, can you buy some more salt?" Lin Ziyin asked. Regarding the situation in the village, she was completely confused and didn't know anything, so she had no choice but to ask Lin Zige for help.

"Isn't there more?" Lin Zige raised his head and looked at her doubtfully.

"Not enough." Lin Ziyin replied sheepishly.

"Then I'll buy some, but how much do you want?" Lin Zige said hesitantly. There were not many copper coins at home, and salt was very expensive. She didn't know what Lin Ziyin wanted the salt for.

"Two pounds." Lin Ziyin said.

"Why do you need so much?" She said lightly, but Lin Zige was shocked by her words.
