Chapter 57: Snowy night

The mother and daughter sat quietly face to face, one watching and the other silent.
Lin Jinrong’s lips were pressed tightly, with a desperate stubborn stubbornness, and Dow’s lips were also pressed tightly. She loved her children and wanted to give her children the best she could. She tried her best to plan for them. .
But many times, she really doesn't know what to do best. She wants her children not to be bullied, but the children are always bullied, and she still dare not tell her that she wants the children to be famous, but if the children show their talents, they will be jealous and punished. Dow's brows frowned.
Lin Jinrong could see Dow's hesitation, and said softly: "My cousin went out to learn to do things with his uncle when he was very young, helping his uncle in business and managing the shop. I heard that my uncle doesn't care about some small things at all. It was thrown to him to do it, so he can have the current life. It can be seen that it is impossible not to practice. I also know that he is a man and I am a daughter. We are different, but after all, whether or not will be different, who can say Know what will happen to me in the future? It’s always good to plan ahead. It’s like when I was a guest the other day. If I go out as a guest often, wouldn’t I be able to hold on to it?
She really racked her brains , Come out and say everything, all kinds of outfits.
Listening to Lin Jinrong mentioning that, Dow couldn't help sighing lightly. She was naturally happy that her daughter was able to show her talent, but of course she also understood this as a guest, but at the time she thought her daughter was unintentional and can't blame her. Blame Lin Yuzhen herself for not making arrangements to lose her hand, so she has to protect her. But if you can make your daughter more familiar with the world, then naturally there will only be benefits and no harm.
Dow was also worried that Lin Jinrong was a child's disposition, and he was interested in it, and just throw it away, and said in a deep voice, "I promised you. But let me explain first, since you say you use your money to do it, you use yourself. If you don’t have enough money, I will lend you, and slowly deduct from your monthly money and clothes. Of course, I will give you the title deed, even if it’s your thirteenth birthday gift."
Lin Jinrong kept hooking his neck and looking at Dow nervously. He almost didn't jump up when he heard the words. He managed to control the joy and nodded to Dow seriously: "I will not let my mother down." Even Tao. It's also very good if you don't give it to her, and keep it for Lin Shenzhi in the future, so you don't want to take advantage of the Lu family.
Dow did not speak, but stroked Lin Jinrong's hair.
The mother and daughter both had dinner absent-mindedly.
Dow is wondering whether she should make concessions and do it right. Daughters and men are raised in different ways, but managing dowry is indeed a skill. I don't know how Wu raised her nieces, she wanted to write to discuss them.
What Lin Jinrong thought was that she still wanted to do a lot. She couldn't always ask Dow to order Dow's staff to do everything. This kind of difficult and restrictive situation could not continue. She had to find someone to replace her. She can run errands. This person must be of good character, ability and trustworthiness, but where does she find this person?
So the mother and daughter only ate half a bowl of rice before putting a bowl.
It was dark early in the winter, but as soon as it turned, Dow took the medicine and went to bed early. Lin Jinrong has grown strong these days and is emotionally agitated. How can he fall asleep so early? She ordered people to close the door and burned the charcoal pot so that lychees, longans, and Miaoya were sitting together. She cooked tea for the three people, roasted chestnuts with lychees, roasted sweet potatoes with longans, and Miao'er talked about the fun of the country. When I was happy, I suddenly heard a dog barking outside, someone slammed the door anxiously, and shouted for help.
Lin Jinrong was startled, and hurriedly called lychees: "Take a hat and hat, and hit a lantern to look at what's going on?"
Litchi Yiyan opened the door, and a cold wind rushed over with snowflakes. She shivered suddenly. Looking back at Lin Jinrong, she said, "The wind is cold and snowy, the girl is staying in the house, don't go out. , Wait for the slave servant and longan to take a look."
Seeing the snow and wind, Longan didn't want to go, so she looked at Miaoya. Miaoya quickly stood up and clapped her hands: "Sister Longan stay with the girl in the house, wait for me to go with Sister Lychee." As he rushed out, he took a fur coat and hat on the wall beside the door, and put them on with the lychees. The two of them held hands and opened the courtyard door happily and went outside.
Longan was uncomfortable seeing her two being good, so she pouted and closed the door. Lin Jinrong hurriedly stopped her: "You're not busy, I will listen."
There was the sound of footsteps walking into the courtyard of Dow next door, and Mama Gong solemnly said: "What's the matter?"
Tie Huai's family said: "It's from Lin Changye's family."
Then someone cried and said, "Please save our grandmother, my wife is unfamiliar, and she doesn't have a maiden family..." Lin Jinrong hurriedly got up and stood by the door, listening carefully. The voice over there is getting lower and lower. Although she can't understand what it is, she can't guess something, it must be that Grandma Chang has a production problem. According to the answer between the Richang grandma and Dow, the midwife had already decided that she must invite Mr. Shui to come here at this time.
Sure enough, Lychee and Miaoya were about to come in, bracing the wind and snow, and said, "It's Grandma Chang who is having trouble giving birth. I have to ask Mr. Shui to help... Mr. Shui has already gone ahead, and Mrs. Shui has to come and see."
The two families are not familiar with each other. Dow and this grandmother Chang have only met twice, and have been able to deal with each other several times, but because they are tribes and neighbors, they are both women. Dow is deep. Knowing the hardship and danger of childbirth, I regret that it is not easy for this grandma Chang to leave her natal home. Anyone who can help is willing to help.
Lin Jinrong looked sadly at the heavy snow flying outside. In this weather, Dow was going to work. If he accidentally froze in the cold, wouldn't it be a waste of all these days of recuperation? No, she has to follow. At the moment, I hurried to get her boots and drapes. After she was dressed, she ran out and ran out, just when she met Dow's tightly wrapped, surrounded by Mama Gong and others, she walked out.
Lin Jinrong hurriedly stepped forward and clutched Tao's arm tightly: "Mother, I will go with you."
This is not as simple as she is obsessed with buying land to practice her hands and feet. Dow looked coldly, waved his sleeves, and yelled, "What are you going to do? Go into the house and sleep!"
Gong's mother also persuaded: "Girl, there is something serious about the wife's going there. No one will greet you when you go there, so obedient."
Lin Jinrong hugged Dow’s arm again, hurriedly followed her, and said: "No, I will go with you! Your body is not good, and the snow is so heavy, and the road is not too close. Let me watch with you. I don’t want to worry about you, otherwise I’m afraid. I’ll be waiting outside. If I don’t pester you, I won’t cause trouble.

The four girls became wider and wider. Dow was a little irritable and a little funny. It was absolutely forbidden, but seeing Lin Jinrong already consciously climbed into the car, it would take a lot of time to pull her down. , He ignored Lin Jinrong sternly.
This is acquiescence.
Lin Jinrong did not expect that the step she insisted on taking to protect her mother would unwittingly open another door for her future.
It was windy and snowy, and the road could not be seen clearly. The driver didn't dare to go too fast. Dow and Lin Jinrong cuddled with each other without speaking.
I don’t know how long it took. Dow was a little tired. Fang heard the outside dog barking. Tie Huai said loudly, "Madam, here." Then the carriage stopped at the door of a small courtyard, and immediately someone beat him up. The umbrella came up to pick up the lantern.
"Three younger brothers and sisters, I'm really sorry, I always trouble you, this kind of weather also makes you run this time..." Lin Chang wrapped in felt clothes, shrank his neck and greeted Dow with a salute. Lin Jinrong stood beside Dow, and couldn't help being slightly surprised.
Dow glanced at Lin Jinrong and stepped inward: "She is a little scared to stay at home alone, so I trouble San Bo to find a warmer place for her and the girl. I brought an old ginseng here, I'm afraid it will be useful. , Where is the person?"
"Thank you, three brothers and sisters here, please." Lin Chang thanked him for his kindness, followed Dow into the backyard, and pointed a young woman standing under the eaves: "You take your four sisters to your house to have a fire. Treat yourself carefully."
"I'm your sister-in-law." The young woman hurriedly came forward to meet Lin Jinrong: "Sister Si, please come with the slave."
Lin Jinrong was a little dazed. She thought that her mother-in-law had a dystocia, and her daughter-in-law and others should come and take care of her. The people waiting in the corridor should be servants, but she was Lin Chang's eldest daughter-in-law, Ma.
Ma was tall and slender, with pale skin, a long face, a somewhat large mouth, and slightly high cheekbones. He looked extremely smart and capable. Lin Jinrong heard her accent as if she was a local, not like Lin Chang and Grandma Chang, who spoke a foreign accent, and said: "Is the sister-in-law a local?"
Ma cried out, "My family is in Zuojiao Village, fifty miles away."
Lin Jinrong became more anxious as she went in. The Lin Chang's house was obviously not too big, but she didn't hear the woman's painful cry all the way in. Everything was quiet and weird.
Sitting in Ma's room was a young man in his twenties, with a tall nose of five or six points like Lin Chang, holding a fat baby about one year old in his arms and teasing him with a smile. He winked: "This is the fourth sister of the third aunt's family."
The young man hurriedly put the little baby on the small bed, got up and said a few polite words to Lin Jinrong, and went outside.
"My house is so narrow that I can't get my feet down, so I made you laugh." Ma took a stool and asked Lin Jinrong to sit, turned around and took the quilt, wrapped the little sister, and shouted: "Little bun, Little bun, come and hug someone!"
"Come on, come on." With this shout, I went to be a guest with Grandma Chang that day, patronizing the seven or eight-year-old girl who was immersed in the fruit and slammed in. It was different from Lin Jinrong's salute, panicking. The ground ran over to pick up the baby and retreated.
Lin Jinrong knew that this was to make room for herself. He felt sorry, and said hurriedly: "Don't bother, I like children a lot. How bad is it to take him out enthusiastically."
"It's no trouble, the next door is also hot." Ma pushed the charcoal basin to Lin Jinrong and Litchi, and said with a smile: "The fourth sister is a rare visit. It should be reasonable to entertain. It just happened to happen to this thing, it is really true. No way. You are warm, I will give you sencha."
Lin Jinrong felt uneasy, and quickly said: "No, sister-in-law, you are busy by yourself, don't worry about me."
Markov neatly lifted the curtain and went out with a firm tone: "I want it."
Lin Jinrong and Lychee had the opportunity to look at the house.
