Lin Mo also got up when he heard the humorous sound of the children in the courtyard, walked out of the room behind the somewhat stiff body in place, and looked at them impassively for a few minutes. Lin Mo also learned that the four children in the family stood in the big room. Brushing teeth on slate.
The Lin family is not affluent in Daling Village, but they can also eat enough. The Lin family has 15 acres of paddy fields and 20 acres of dry land. Except for the taxes to be paid each year, the rest is basically enough for one person's ration for one year. .
However, in addition to basic satiety, the children at home must be supplemented with some nutrition. In addition, Lin Mo's younger brother Lin Mo has been weak since childhood, and Lin Xiu's second son Lin Xiu also needs a lot of silver.
So even if the big brothers Lin Cheng and Lin Da went out to earn a lot of money each year to work part-time jobs, they did not make the Lin family richer. Even if they had some savings at home, they still had to prevent a few children from getting sick or something.
To say that Daling Village is most famous for its various fruits, Daling Village is surrounded by three mountains, leaving only a road to the southeast to communicate with neighboring villages and lead to the county seat.
Although there are some fruit trees on the three mountains, there are not as many fruit trees as there are now, because ten years ago, fruits across the country suddenly came out of demand, and the shortages reached the remote counties here.
Others saw the business opportunities, and the farmers were not stupid, so they started planting fruit trees on the hills that were divided into their own homes. The first two years in Daling Village did make a lot of money, but they started to sell them. Not going out.
Until now, except for the occasional uphill picking to feed the family, the rest are rotten and let it fall, no one cares at all.
Now, the mangrove forest in Dashan has become a place for children in Daling Village to play, because the fruit trees are not much managed, and the fruits of the fruit trees are much less.
The grass in the field has been removed for more than half a month. Today, the father of the Lin family and the older brother Lin Cheng intend to go deeper into the mountains to hunt and find herbs by the way.
The ancients said, rely on mountains to eat mountains, and water to drink.
There are three big mountains around Daling Village. In addition to farming, men in the village also go uphill for part-time hunting. Even if they can't hunt the big guys to increase their income, they can hunt some small ones to add amaranth to the dining table at home.
After having breakfast, Lin Dao and Lin Cheng went out to get things, because the farm work was temporarily finished, Lin Mu and Lin Daxun stayed at home to embroider something, and planned to take it to the town to sell it next time.
"Mother, my brother and I went to the foot of the mountain to pick some fruit."
Mother Lin was surprised when Mo Geer said that she wanted to leave the house, but she still didn't object to it. It would be better to go out for a walk and save her staying at home all day long.
"Go, just don't run into the mountains, Xiaoxing, look at your fourth brother, the sun is no longer hot at noon."
"Know your mother," Lin Xing said on the back of the basket next to the wall.
"Uncle Four, I'm going too."
As soon as Lin Xiaoya heard that Uncle Four was about to go out, his eyes lit up, and he quickly stood up with both hands to walk and walked towards Lin Mo's side.
Lin Xiaonan, who was catching the chicks on the other side, heard that, immediately, the chicks were not very fun, and he turned to look at Lin Mo's eyes full of expectations.
"No." Lin Mo refused expressionlessly.
Xiaoya felt a little scared to see Lin Mo's expressionless expression, and she was at a loss as she grabbed her clothes with both hands. Xiaoya felt that Uncle Si seemed angry, and he was fierce when he didn't smile.
"... be obediently staying at home with my brother, and the fourth uncle brought delicious food back to you." Lin Mo touched her head strangely.
After Lin Mo and the two children explained, he left Lin Xing and Lin Chen on his back. Lin Dazhen looked at his two children's eyes and looked at the back of their uncle's departure. He shook his head helplessly and then continued the embroidery in his hand. .
Not long after leaving the house, Lin Mo saw a river. Many people were doing laundry by the river. Lin Mo glanced at random, making him strange that there were actually many men doing laundry.
Before waiting for Lin Mo to search for relevant memories in the brain, the passing villager and Lin Xing Lin Chen greeted him and interrupted his thinking.
"It's the little brother of the Lin family. I heard that I was sick again a few days ago, are you better now?" Zhang Dazhen with a clothes basket in his right hand asked with a smile.
"It's alright." Lin Mo nodded coldly.
"That's good. I want to say, younger brothers like you should come out and move around, and stay at home all day without getting sick."
Zhang Dazhen was not surprised by Lin Mo's indifference. Lin Mo didn't often walk around the village. Others didn't know Lin Mo very much. What he heard was that Lin had a small and fragile brother with a somewhat restrained personality.
Little brother? What do you mean? Lin Mo was a little puzzled. Before, he felt a little strange to what Lin mother called him, thinking that he didn't care much about the original name.
Although Lin Mo has some memories of the original body, if he did not deliberately dig, the situation he knows is only approximate, general and vague, that is, this dynasty is historical or overhead, and he has not figured it out yet.
And Lin Mo couldn't just ask others so clearly, didn't he tell others that he was wrong.
"Aunt Zhang, let's go now. The sun is rising. Let's talk about it another day."
Lin Chen listened to Zhang Dazhen and they didn't stop talking for so long, and quickly said that the sun would be bigger, and she was talking all the way, Lin Chen felt the impatience of the fourth brother.
In fact, it was just frowning in doubt.
After saying goodbye to Zhang Dazhen, the three brothers continued on their way. Lin Chen took a look at the brother who was walking next to him, and was relieved. It always felt that the brother had changed a lot recently, but this change did not seem to be bad.
The three walked to a side road of the bifurcation road. There were many shrubs on both sides of the road, and there were some fruit trees between them.
"The fruit on both sides of the road is not sweet. It will be the most delicious until the mountain side, crunchy and juicy." Lin Xing looked at the fourth brother and looked up at the fruit tree on the side of the road, thinking he wanted to eat, explained.
"How far is it?" Lin Mo looked back and continued on his way.
Since there is something better, Lin Mo will not be wronged to eat those inferior products. Although he really wants to eat, Lin Mo can still wait.
"Hurry up, the one in the front is all right, and there is a kind of purple wild fruit in it. It's sour and sweet and delicious."
Lin Xing reached out and pointed at a large fruit forest in the distance, some of the fruit branches still had flowers on them, and some of them were already full of fruit.
Lin Mo's body has been transformed by the Lingquan water. Although it has not been completely transformed, the sensitivity of the five senses is still several times stronger than that of ordinary people, and the sweetness of fruits can be secretly heard here.
Lin Mo sniffed his nose slightly. The morning air was very fresh. The refreshing smell of grass and the sweetness of fruit made Lin Mo feel a lot better, and his tight nerves were loosened.
Lin Mo's eyebrows bent slightly, and he accelerated his steps and walked forward. Lin Xing Lin Chen, who was behind, looked at each other for a few seconds, and quickly followed, how did he feel that his brother was very happy.
"Does Brother Si like to eat fruit?"
"Almost, eating more fruits is good for the body." Lin Mo was in a good mood, and his tone of speech was not so cold.
It didn't take long for them to arrive. Lin Mo stepped forward on his toes and picked up a red apple. He wiped with clothes and clicked.
Lin Mo walked around while eating, he found that there are quite a lot of fruit varieties here.
"Is the kind of fruit in our family the same as that of other people?" Lin Mo asked after eating an apple and picking a big pear while eating.
"It's not exactly the same, we have more here, and there are some wild fruits that have not been seen under the cliff inside." Lin Chen explained.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Lin Chen, who was next to Lin Mo, turned around without seeing his twin brother follow, looked around, and found Lin Xing squatting under a tree.
"There are a few strange plants here. Come and see. The fruits are still colorful." Lin Xing turned back and shook her hands and greeted them.
Lin Mo followed the past and saw some doubts. Isn't that the bell pepper that is only modern? Why did it exist here in ancient times? Shouldn't it be a mutation?
In addition, Lin Mo also found that there is a pepper tree growing next to it, and looking aside, he found a tomato tree with small clusters of fruits similar to grapes.
"Is this the only one? The one? Is it the only one?" Lin Mo asked, pointing to the big tomato tree.
"There are still two such plants a little ahead of time. As for the one with a bunch of green fruits hanging on it, it suddenly grew out half a year ago, but it can only be eaten if it is red.
"If you are not cooked, you will have a stomachache. Brother Wu tried it." Lin Chen added.
Lin Xing: "..."
Tomatoes are of course uneatable.
After that, Lin Mo followed them around the fruit forest. The fruit trees in the fruit forest were still very neatly planted, with one variety and one area, and the land was divided squarely.
After shopping, Lin Mo found that here is a little different from what he imagined in ancient times. Some fruits are obviously only modern or imported from abroad, but it can already be grown on a large scale.
Lin Mo doesn't know if other crops are so advanced, but he can be sure that this is not a historical period, maybe it's really an overhead history.
After walking around for half a full meal, Lin Mo and his two younger brothers went to pick grapes under the cliff, which is the purple sour and sweet wild fruit that Lin Xing said before.
The grapes here are wild and grow on the cliff, so the fruit is a bit large. For a teenager like Lin Mo, it is just right to eat one bite.
After looking at Lin Xing, he can already determine how to make money. There are a lot of fruits here, and there are ready-made materials. You can make money on the wine alone, not to mention other fruits.
