After breakfast the next day, after Wen Qing'an cleaned up, he planned to go to Lin Shaoyu to talk about the situation of handing over the grain. But before Wen Qing'an could go out, Lin Shaoyu found the door.

As soon as Lin Shaoyu came to the gate of the Wen family, he saw Wen Qing'an walking out, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "This early in the morning, where do you want to go?"

Wen Qingan didn't think that Lin Shaoyu would come to his house instead, and laughed happily: "Otherwise, I always say that I have a fate with Brother Lin." Look, I just wanted to go to you, and you came, this really wants to sleep someone sent a pillow. Come on, come on, come in"

Wen Shi heard the movement outside, and also walked out, and when he saw that it was Lin Shaoyu, he greeted him with a smile.

Lin Shaoyu saw Wen come out, handed the basket in his hand to Wen and said, "Brother and sister, this is yesterday someone gave me some peaches, sweet and juicy, I took some to the children, don't dislike it"

Seeing this, Wen was not polite to Lin Shaoyu, took the basket and thanked him, and took the fruit to the backyard to wash it.

Because the weather is already very hot now, Wen Qingan did not introduce Lin Shaoyu into the house, but only invited him to sit in the courtyard. After the two of them sat down on the low bench in the courtyard, Lin Shaoyu searched around and said, "What about the children?" ”

"Wen Anze, Wen Anhao went to see the village people's yard early in the morning, An'an" As soon as Wen An'an was mentioned, Wen Qing'an remembered, so he immediately got up from the stool and hurriedly ran towards the house. After a while, Wen An'an came out with a piece in his hand.

Lin Shaoyu saw that Wen Qing'an's daughters were in pain to the bones, and mocked: "Look at you, a dignified person, who would believe that the girl hurts like this." I've never seen you care so much about An Ze and An Hao before."

Wen Qing'an carefully sorted out Wen An'an's thin coat, pouted, and said, "Those two fur boys can compare with my daughter." Brother Lin, you don't have a daughter, if you do, I guess you will hurt more than me. People say that my daughter is my mother's little padded jacket, but I think our family An An is also my father's little padded jacket, well-behaved and sensible. Ah, by the way, we're so smart that we're able to call people now."

Speaking of this, Wen Qing'an was even more excited and lifted Wen An'an in front of Lin Shaoyu, then looked sideways at Wen An'an and said, "An'an, come, let you, Uncle Lin, also take a look, how smart our An An is." Come, call him a daddy, jealous of him"

Although Wen Anan was praised by his father for a while at this moment, he couldn't really embarrass Wen Qing'an at a critical moment, so Wen Anan smiled at Lin Shaoyu, and then shouted vaguely: "Stick, stick"

Originally, Wen Qing'an heard her daughter give herself a long face like this, and it was a while. Just wanted to show off in front of Lin Shaoyu, who knew that he suddenly took Wen Anan from his hands, and responded cheekily: "Hey, good daughter." Tsk, these two daddy screams even softened my heart. Brother Wen, it's really like you said, having a girl is different"

Choked by Lin Shaoyu's words, Wen Qingan really didn't know how to answer. had to take Wen An'an back from him, like a child angry, muttering: "It's a loss, it's a loss, my daughter called your father for nothing"

Although Wen Qing'an spoke in a small voice, he couldn't stand the two of them close, so Lin Shaoyu heard every word Wen Qing'an said clearly.

Hearing Wen Qing'an say such a thing, Lin Shaoyu held his stomach and laughed, and it took a long time to stop. Then wiping the tears that came out of laughter, he pointed at Wen Qing'an and scolded with a smile: "Why didn't you find out before, you still have this kind of scoundrel side." If nothing else, just talk about the relationship between the two of us, what? Your daughter called me daddy and lost it."

Before Wen Qing'an could open his mouth to refute, the Wen family, who came back from the backyard, was afraid that his father-in-law would say something embarrassing again, so he patted him on the back and apologized to Lin Shaoyu with a smile: "Brother Lin, don't be like him." Now as long as it's about An An, he's more nervous than me. Sometimes I have to say a few words to my daughter, and he is anxious with me. So don't be like him, if you really tear up the question about An An with him, he can pull you to talk about it for a day."

After listening to Wen's words, Lin Shaoyu shook his head quite amusedly, and he didn't dwell on this issue anymore.

After Wen finished speaking, he put the fruit plate in his hand on the low table between the two, and while beckoning Lin Shaoyu to eat the fruit, he took Wen Anan from Wen Qing'an's hand, and just wanted to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Lin Shaoyu: "Brother and sister, you can stay and listen." We don't have the kind of rule that men talk and women avoid" Wen saw that Lin Shaoyu said this, so he didn't shy away from sitting next to Wen Qing'an.

Lin Shaoyu took a cup of tea from the low table, and after taking a few sips slowly, he organized his language before saying, "That time, after your family and your sister-in-law went to the town to visit the lantern festival, your sister-in-law went home and told me what was going to happen." Because I was busy at home and in the field a while ago, I didn't have time to talk to you. I happened to be free today, so I came to you and said."

Wen Qing'an and Wen didn't expect Lin Shaoyu to talk about this matter today, the two looked at each other, and Wen Qing'an replied seriously: "Brother Lin, listen to me, what happened last time"

Lin Shaoyu waved his hand and interrupted Wen Qingan's words: "You listen to me first." I know that you refused to leave the village because of what happened in the past, but your sister-in-law is right, when no one needs help, you can't be chained to our village for the rest of your life because of that help. If you do this, then our family owes you more, and then how can we pay it back in the future? ”

In all fairness, Wen Qing'an and Wen He never wanted to go to town. After that, I will definitely have more shackles than now, and the living standard of my family will be better at that time, but these are secondary, and the most important thing is that the teaching and learning environment in the town is not comparable to now, which is especially important for the future development of the two sons.

The key is that if their family leaves, not to mention the right and wrong Qi Lin family, he can't talk about the children in the village.

Lin Shaoyu saw that Wen Qing'an and his wife just bowed their heads and said nothing, knowing that they were also a little interested in going to the town, but they were more worried about the village.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Lin Shaoyu continued: "I went to the town a few days ago and talked to Mayor Xiao. Mayor Xiao assured me that if I could persuade you to teach in the town, he would be willing to let the children of our village go to the town to study. As for the way back and forth, he said that he would try to build as many houses as possible in the private school, so that the children could live in the town, so that they would not have to run back and forth. ”

Lin Shaoyu's exit was really unexpected by Wen Qing'an and his wife. They would have thought that Brother Lin would go to the town to discuss with Mayor Xiao about the matter that was bothering their family. Moreover, if the situation is really according to Lin Shaoyu, it is really a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Wen Qing'an asked with some uncertainty: "Brother Lin, can this work?" ”

Hearing Wen Qing'an's doubts, Lin Shaoyu did not show any doubt, but said more definitely than just now: "I think this can be done." With Mayor Xiao's ability, the money to run a private school can be raised, let alone a few houses. Besides. You don't know about those rich merchants in our town, they are all so rich, and that money is not worth mentioning to them at all. And they care more about whether they can get a good master for their children than money. As for our village, you don't have to worry, if you tell them that you can let the children go to the town to study, they will definitely not be able to find the north. Besides, although our village is not rich, there is still money for the idea that families let their children study, and there is no need to worry about the tuition fee."

After Lin Shaoyu analyzed all the problems, Wen Qing'an and Wen felt that this method was really feasible, and both of them couldn't hold back their excitement, and they were a little incoherent when they spoke.

The couple kept taking turns to thank Lin Shaoyu, but it made him a little embarrassed for a while, it stands to reason that in fact, their village was stained with the light of Wen Qing'an.

After getting Wen Qing'an's reply that he agreed to teach in the town, Lin Shaoyu said again: "But it will take some time to go to the town, but you don't have to delay it any longer, when you are free, go to the town and tell Mayor Xiao your decision."

At this time, where would Wen Qing'an say nothing. nodded at Lin Shaoyu for a while.

Seeing Wen Qing'an like this, Lin Shaoyu couldn't cry or laugh. After a few people talked about some things in the town, Lin Shaoyu suddenly remembered that when he came to Wen's house just now, Wen Qing'an was also going to look for him, so he asked suspiciously: "What are you looking for me to do today?" ”

Hearing Lin Shaoyu's reminder, Wen Qing'an remembered what the Wen family told him yesterday, so after relaying the whole story, he asked, "Brother Lin, have you heard the news about this?" ”

There was no surprise or doubt, Lin Shaoyu had a clear expression: "When I went to the town to find Mayor Xiao, I vaguely heard this statement, and I didn't believe it at that time." But now that I think it's very likely."

Wen Qing'an just wanted to express his doubts, but he heard Lin Shaoyu continue: "I heard Mayor Xiao say that there are rumors through the grapevine that the reason for the requisition of grain this time may not only be because of the war. You also know that the recent movement in the court seems to be a bit big."

Having said that, Wen Qing'an really solved his doubts. If it is a border war, it is indeed unreasonable to levy grain now, but if there is a battle in the court, it is not too much to say anything about it.

Wen Qing'an moved closer in the direction of Lin Shaoyu and whispered: "I heard earlier that today's body bones are not as good as day by day, I still think it is unlikely, after all, today is still in the year of establishment, but looking at the current situation, it is estimated that it will be the last four or five years, and the above will be chaotic."

When Lin Shaoyu heard Wen Qingan's words, he just nodded expressionlessly. Then he replied cautiously: "Some people say that several princes in the court are also starting to can't help it." But what is the situation, we ordinary people are not able to know Lu Dao" The two of them analyzed it like this, and they both knew that the matter of Lu Dao's taxation this time was true.

Wen Qing'an sighed and said, "It's really a disaster to the pond fish." So what do we do now? ”

Lin Shaoyu also shook his head worriedly: "What else can I do, I can only collect taxes as required." However, I will let the villagers take advantage of the warm weather to grow more sweet potatoes and other hungry foods, and usually let them pickle vegetables and meat, so that they can store a little more."

Wen Qing'an listened and nodded helplessly. There is no way to do this, but fortunately it is still early in the month, and everyone still has time to prepare. Hey, no matter what time comes, it can only be the common people who suffer.

After several people sat together and talked for a while, Lin Shaoyu said goodbye and went back, intending to prepare for the food problem as soon as possible.
