Chapter 102 Winter passes and spring comes
The flames in the fire pit were burning brightly, and the atmosphere in the room was also hot.
Old Lady Wang kept on talking back at people, and even without the mother and daughter saying a word, Mrs. Zhang felt so embarrassed that she left quickly.
Lin Zisu rolled her eyes at Mrs. Zhang's back. Who was she trying to disgust by saying this in front of so many people?
If her mother didn't go to the hospital for treatment, people would definitely gossip about her. If she went to the hospital for treatment, there would be more gossip. She wanted to flatter others and embarrass them, so she had to treat her son's leg.
Looks ugly, but has beautiful thoughts!
No matter whether it is her mother or her family of four, they don’t owe anyone anything!
As the old saying goes, people can't be treated too well and dogs can't be fed too much!
There is no distinction between men and women when it comes to medical treatment, but this was in ancient times and the local people’s thinking would not change easily!
Why did her mother take the pressure to treat Li Tiedan's leg? Is he worthy? What a scumbag!
What's more, her father treated everyone equally at the beginning and checked the leg injury of Zhang Po's son Li Tiedan, who was just sprained!
Mrs. Zhang's family is disgusting. Her father is a well-educated person because he can help them.
Mrs. Zhang used this trick again, haha...
Her mother is not a doctor either. Modern people only know some common sense about first aid, trauma, colds, etc.
Old Lady Wang sat down angrily, "She ran fast! What a shameless old woman!"
Old Lady Fang looked at Old Lady Wang and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry. It's not worth it. Mrs. Zhang and her family are all confused! Don't pay attention to her!"
Yang Song's wife Zhou said, "Auntie Wang, don't be angry! Her family is really disgusting. When they were in the village, they just wanted to take advantage of others all day long. It's a pity for Daya, the girl, to be married to such a family."
Lin Youfeng's wife, Zhao, curled her lips and said, "Last time, Daya fainted on the road and was half dead. The head of the village decided to let Daya live alone, but the Li family went to Daya to ask for this and that behind her back. They thought no one saw it!"
The women chatted with each other and the atmosphere became better.
By 6pm, everyone was there and started to eat dinner. As usual, everyone had their own staple food and lined up to get their meat and vegetables.
What we're eating tonight is the remaining bones and meat from the bear. We'll wash and cut the innards and put them in the refrigerator in the RV to eat tomorrow.
Lin Zisu smelled the fragrant broth, blew on it, and took a sip of the broth first.
No vegetables were added to the broth, it was just boiled in hot water and then stewed with salt.
The original bear bone soup is not fishy or smelly, but fresh. Lin Zisu took a bite of the meat and chewed it. There was no strange smell, just the aroma of meat. The meat was tender and delicious, and it felt a bit like eating beef, chewing beef bones.
No wonder bear paws are expensive, rich people like to eat them. Bear paws are not bad, they are quite delicious.
The bear bones and meat are chopped into very small pieces, making them easy to share. If they are in a large lump, it will be difficult to share and there will only be a few lumps.
Take a spoonful and scoop up whatever part you find, that's all the meat and bones. Try to distribute it evenly, one bowl for each person, regardless of whether they are old or young.
Lin Zisu sat by the fire, taking a bite of steamed bun, a bite of vegetable and a sip of soup, sweating as she ate.
After eating and drinking, I took my bowl back to the RV to wash it.
Lin Xianwen also went up to the RV to wash the dishes, then washed up and went to sleep on the roof of the RV.
No storytelling tonight.
Everyone asked, "Why? I had a good meal tonight, so I can listen to some stories, digest the food, and go to sleep."
Lin Xianwen: “I’m not in the mood.”
Everyone: "Why are you not in the mood?"
"Oh..." Lin Xianwen shook his head and went back to the RV.
After listening to Lin Zisu's story about what happened at noon, Lin Youcai made a note of the Li family in his little notebook.
Winter has passed and spring has come. In more than a month, time has passed quietly while everyone is busy.
Spring arrives with the chill, and the melted snow has already turned into water, moistening the land.
The weather was still cold, but the fire was not a big problem. We worked when we had to work, ate when we had food, and slept when we had sleep.
The burned charcoal was piled in an uninhabited house across the road. When the group left, they simply loaded it into their cars and took it away.
Lin Zisu drove the RV out of the yard and came to the barren fields. She emptied the gray water tank and converted it to direct discharge to solve the problem of detoxification of the body.
It was cold in winter, so she and her mother lived in the RV alone. They urinated and defecated in the car, and came to the wild to empty the ash water tank from time to time.
There is not much smell in the RV for two people. The smell disappears after the exhaust fan is turned on for a while.
Lin Zisu put the gray water tank away and was about to get in the car when she discovered green sprouts on the ground.
Squatting down and looking at the tender green grass sprouts, spring has really come!
Before we know it, time has passed and a new season has arrived.
All things come back to life and spring flowers bloom.
Lin Zisu got in the car: "Mom, there are sprouts growing on the grass."
Shen Xianglan: "It's still so cold, and they're already sprouting?"
"Yes! When will we set off again?" Lin Zisu rubbed his hands, wiped his nose, sat in the driver's seat and drove.
Shen Xianglan put down the clothes in her hands and yawned, "I'll have to ask the village head."
Lin Zisu: "We should wait until the weather is warmer before leaving."
Shen Xiang picked up the clothes that had just been altered, took a look at them, and thought they were good enough to wear. "Didn't the RV give any hints?"
"No, I wouldn't ask even if you gave me a hint." Lin Zisu drove the RV carefully into the yard, driving slowly on purpose for fear that the children or the dog would suddenly rush out.
Lin Zisu parked the car, and Shen Xianglan tried the clothes on her. It looked like it should fit her. "Take off your coat and try on this spring coat."
Lin Zisu's clothes, especially those for winter, are all Li Ai's winter clothes that have been altered to be smaller, and she wears them to keep warm.
Shen Xianglan would study needlework when she had nothing to do. She was responsible for all the clothes, pants and shoes for the family of four.
Lin Zisu helped out from time to time, and her needlework skills were really... hard to describe.
However, she would also learn from her aunts and cousins during her free time in winter.
It's not that I have to learn something very sophisticated, like embroidery. The main thing is that here, unlike modern times, clothes, pants, and shoes can be bought as long as you have money. The rich can wear expensive clothes, and the poor can wear cheap clothes. Everyone has something to wear.
In this era, fabrics are expensive, ready-made clothes and pants are even more expensive, and they may not fit well, so custom-made ones are even more expensive.
They were fleeing on the road, so they had fewer opportunities to go into the city and their financial situation was not good.
No matter how poor you are, you have to wear linen clothes. You can't be naked. Therefore, it is very necessary to know how to sew.
If you can sew, you can sew and mend things yourself. If you want to wear something, you can make it yourself. Everyone has their own things to do, so you can't always ask others for help.
It is always good to have more skills. It is a good thing to have more than one skill.
This is different from what Old Lady Wang says all the time about getting married, that a girl needs to know this and that, otherwise no one will want her, or her in-laws will dislike her, blah blah blah!
Lin Zisu didn't want to get married in this era and suffer. Of course, that was a later story. It was too early for her to escape and her age.
She knows this and that, and it's definitely for herself. Marry or not, she still has to have clothes to wear and food to eat.
