Chapter 141 Family Chat
In the main room, an outdoor solar-powered portable lamp is hung on the wall, illuminating the room.
On the square table was a large bowl of bright red braised pork with the right amount of fat and lean meat, a small bowl of lush green vegetables, and a bowl of small dried fish stir-fried with red dry chilies, the aroma of the food was tangy.
Lin Zisu raised her face from the bowl, her face was covered in oil, and a few grains of white rice were stuck to her face. She reached into the bowl of chili and dried fish with her chopsticks, picked up a piece of food and put it in the bowl, took a bite of the food, and ate a mouthful of rice.
Shen Xianglan put down her bowl and chopsticks, looked at the two siblings eating, and said with a smile: "That's enough! You have already eaten two bowls of rice, you can't eat anymore. You don't have to worry about indigestion if you eat too much at night."
"Eating so much braised pork all at once, your stomach, which has been dull for a long time, suddenly takes in so much oil and water. You two will have diarrhea tonight." Lin Youcai ate two bowls of rice, wiped his mouth, stood up and stretched. "After you two finish eating, wash the dishes and clean the kitchen.
Lin Xianwen had food in his mouth and could only nod.
Lin Zisu patted her bloated stomach and stood up, "I'll go feed Dahei."
When Dahei was at the Lin family, he had a broken pottery bowl to eat from. On the way he wandered, he would either catch food himself or eat food that was thrown on the ground.
Lin Zisu picked up an old ceramic bowl, looked at Dahei and said, "Use this bowl to eat from now on!"
Dahei looked at the bowl in Lin Zisu's hand, wagged his tail even more happily, and followed closely at Lin Zisu's feet.
Lin Zisu took a bowl of steamed rice from the pot and poured it into Dahei's bowl. If it were modern times, she would have fed him white rice. After all the escape, she was afraid of being struck by lightning if she fed him a bowl of white rice in this era. Now that she was no longer living with Old Lady Wang and Old Man Lin, she dared to feed Dahei a bowl of rice.
If the two old people knew about this, they would definitely give her a long-winded scolding, but she could understand that in that era, supplies were scarce and people couldn't get enough to eat.
Carrying the big black bowl of rice, I walked back to the main room. Lin Xianwen had already finished his meal and was cleaning up the dishes.
"Here, pour the soup into the big black bowl and eat it with the broth and rice." Lin Xianwen said as he poured the remaining braised soup and two pieces of braised pork in the big bowl into the big black bowl. There was still a chopstick of greens and a little soup left in the vegetable bowl, which he also poured into the big black bowl. There was still a small half bowl of dried fish with chili peppers, which he would put in the refrigerator later.
Lin Zisu put the bowl on the ground, Dahei wagged his big tail and ate it like a dog. Dahei finished the rice soaked in the rich broth in a few bites, and even the bowl was rubbed shiny.
Lin Xianwen went to wash the dishes, while Lin Zisu went to sweep the floor and wipe the table.
Shen Xianglan: "They said there was some braised pork left, but there was no soup left."
Lin Youcai: "Hahahaha... This isn't modern times, where food is plentiful. I finally get to eat a lot of meat, so there's no way there will be any leftovers. I'll make it tomorrow, and remember to buy groceries after school."
Shen Xianglan: "No school tomorrow, it's Saturday."
Lin Youcai: "Then I can have a good rest tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
After cleaning the kitchen, the two siblings locked the kitchen door and returned to the living room carrying the solar lamp.
There was a lamp in the main room, so Lin Zisu turned off the lamp in her hand. The family of four sat in the main room, digesting their food and chatting.
The temperature at the end of March was still a little cold at night. Lin Xianwen closed the door to the main room. Dahei, who had eaten his fill, lay on the ground and began to take a nap.
"When will Li Daya be discharged from the hospital?" Lin Zisu opened her thermos and drank some warm water.
Lin Youcai: "It's a cold, so I'll have to stay in the hospital for 4 or 5 days."
"Rent, medical expenses, temporary housing, and the cost of the ship at the end of the month. I'm afraid the money from the public account won't be enough!" Lin Zisu counted on her fingers.
Shen Xianglan: "If it's not enough, just lend her some first. It shouldn't be too much of a difference. We've just arrived here not long ago, and there's still a lot of time before the one-month deadline. She works part-time every day and can earn some money, so there should be some left."
Lin Youcai: "As long as the person is safe, these are all minor matters, and they can be resolved with a little help from everyone."
Lin Xianwen: "Don't you have any thoughts on today's law class?"
Lin Zisu recalled and said, "...it is based on modern laws, but it is adapted to local conditions and has been modified a lot according to the situation of this era."
Lin Youcai: "Let's remember to buy newspapers tomorrow. We still know too little about the country! It would be great if we could buy past issues so we can understand the beginnings of the country."
Shen Xianglan: "Yeah. In an environment where information is blocked, I can read newspapers and learn a lot of news. I think today's marriage law and human trafficking are good! In modern times, we still pay attention to personal rights, and punishment is not enough to relieve anger. The punishment here is friendly to the mood!"
Lin Zisu: "I agree, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to implement. There are still many "ancients" in modern times. Moreover, from the emperor to the common people, women have always been exploited. The thinking is deeply rooted and it is difficult to change it!"
Lin Xianwen: "It is indeed difficult! However, in troubled times, severe punishments are used. Most people are afraid of pain and death! As the great man said, political power comes from the barrel of a gun!"
Lin Zisu smiled and continued: "Dignity is only on the top of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the cannon!"
"Whoever is more powerful has the final say! If things are easy to do, do them. If they are not easy to do, do them well!" Lin Xianwen clenched his fists and made a strong gesture. "No matter what they think, the knife is on their necks. Let's see who is stubborn enough to go against them!"
Lin Youcai: "I think that Sister He has the same idea. The rules are there, she has a knife in one hand and sweet dates in the other, even a fool would know which one to choose."
Shen Xianglan: "So many benefits are not free. The benefits are sufficient, no one wants to leave! Compared with the rules of the Dahuan Dynasty, the laws of the country are nothing! Look, who doesn't have an opinion? They've been complaining all afternoon! You said let them go, but no one said a word."
Lin Youcai: "Everyone is not stupid. If we treat the people as human beings in the country, everyone can live like a human being. Not to mention the previous Dahuan Dynasty, the current Dahuan Dynasty is in such a serious civil strife, fighting for power and profit, and the people suffer the most."
Lin Xianwen: "When a country prospers, the people suffer; when a country perishes, the people suffer. This is not just talk. It has been the same since ancient times."
Lin Zisu: "The common people don't care who is the emperor. They just want to have food and shelter and live a good life. I don't know how long the country has been established? I don't know how long that "fellow countryman" has been in this world? We haven't even been in this world for a year."
Lin Youcai: "You will only know about this after living in the country for a long time. Let's try not to expose it! If the car is exposed in the future, just say it was given by the immortal. There are big ships here, so what's a motorhome! However, unless it is a communication between "fellow villagers", don't admit that it is a transmigration."
Lin Zisu: "Well, it's okay for the RV to be exposed, but don't admit that we are transmigrated. I think if the Lin family knew the truth, they would feel bad!"
Lin Xianwen: "If Dahei heard it, do you want to silence him?"
Dahei lay on the ground and shook his ears.
Lin Zisu turned around and looked at Dahei on the ground, "Dahei, Lin Xianwen wants to eat you, he wants to eat dog meat! Don't play with him anymore!"
Lin Youcai said with a smile: "Stop being so poor!"
