35. Chapter 35
The journey back was much faster, and when he was separated from Ouyang Zhi in the county seat, Lin Xiaoshu galloped back first. There are many people who come back this time, and there are more and more people in the family, and it is very troublesome to run errands without means of transportation, so the Lin family not only added an extra carriage, but also bought a few horses, and the nurses all rode back.
I saw a large group of people standing at the entrance of the village from a distance, and just arrived at the entrance of the village, the sound of "crackling" firecrackers rang out, and the people led by Lin Huaiyi, Lin Huaide and the patriarch all greeted them. Several people hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, stepped forward and bowed, and said, "The unfilial children are back." โ
Lin Huaiyi and Lin Huaide's eyes were full of tears, and they stepped forward to help: "Okay, good, it's good to come back." "A family of four children was admitted to Xiucai at one time, which is rare in the Han Kingdom, and the people surnamed Lin are all full of brilliance.
With a wave of his hand, the patriarch came up and several young men came up, tied the big red flowers in their hands cross-tied to the chests of several people, and beat gongs and drums to make a few circles around the only two streets in Linjia Village.
Looking at the dress of the groom on TV, Lin Zimo couldn't cry or laugh. But looking at the blushing faces of the brothers, and thanking the villagers everywhere, the smug look suddenly relieved. Oh, yes! People have always said that wealth does not return to the hometown, it is like a night walk in brocade! Although Linjia Village is not big, and the talent is not very tall, it represents the efforts of several people. It represents the recognition and respect of the villagers, and at this time, it spurs a few people to be more upward, and no one is qualified to laugh.
Looking at the lively people, the crowd of people, Lin Zimo noticed that many people didn't know each other, and if you looked carefully, it should be the villagers from other villages who came to see the excitement, which aroused the enthusiasm of the people in Linjia Village, and they hugged a few people for several more turns.
It's easy to return to the door of her house, grandma and mother have been waiting at the door, grandma is wearing a sauce-red Fushou pattern satin jacket that she usually doesn't wear, Lin Fujia carefully supports her, and her mother is a crimson embroidered peony flower collared robe, and the two people are full of pearls and emeralds, and their faces are full of smiles. The little sister Lin Yu wore a pink silk dress, with a few small beads on her head, her skin was fair, she was unusually delicate, and she stood there with Lin Xiaomiao, very ladylike.
The newly bought maids and servants all stood behind them with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes. The eldest aunt and Lin Yun were full of sourness, and from time to time they jealously scanned the people around Jiaren, and they didn't even notice that their own son Lin Ziwen was by their side.
Everyone entered the courtyard lively, dozens of busy people in the yard, several stir-fry tables were set up on the side of the yard, Lin Huaide shouted with a smile: "Everyone speed up, don't get drunk tonight." Most of these people are busy with the red case in the village (people who are busy with the stove when marrying a daughter-in-law), and they suddenly agreed when they heard this.
Although he didn't have been on the road for a few days, Lin Zimo's spirit was still a little sluggish, and he was held by his grandmother and walked all the way back to the hall, and he didn't have to socialize like his brothers. The people in the village looked at his black and yellow face that was pasted by the potion with pity, this child used to look very smart, who knew that he would go out to study, and he would not work in the field, this face was getting more and more ugly, otherwise, with the identity of the youngest Xiucai in the county, he would definitely be able to marry a beautiful lady in the future.
Lin Zimo didn't know this, and when he went to the house with his grandmother, Xiao Miao immediately served a bowl of rock sugar bird's nest porridge, Xiao Yan came up to help him roll up his sleeves, Lin Zimo took a bite carefully, quenched his thirst and hunger with relish, and said with a smile: "Grandma, when did we start having these things in our house?" "Although they are rich, my grandmother and mother still don't have the consciousness of a big family, and they are still very frugal, and they don't even think about these extravagant things.
Grandma smiled, and moved his back lovingly: "Our sorghum wine is brewed a batch, the degree is very high, the second master of the Ouyang family said that there is no such strong wine in the whole country, when he pulled it away, he personally came over, let him increase the number of catties of brewing, these are all sent by him, and there are many more, grandma slowly stewed for you to eat, nourish your body, and see that you have lost a lot of weight." As he spoke, his eyes turned red.
Lin Zimo put down the bowl and took his grandmother's hand: "Milk, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, it's good to raise it for two days, you can eat these things for the elderly." Grandma nodded and smiled with tears: "Okay, good, let's all eat, anyway, the family has a lot of money now, and even your brothers will stew some to replenish their bodies when they turn around." These grandsons have won glory for her, and her heart is not painful, but the youngest grandson is still the most worried.
"Hey, mother-in-law, give me some literature too, that's also your grandson, and I'm tired of studying." Saying this, the chubby lady mother and daughter walked in, wrapped in an old purple cocoon silk shirt, and touched a thick layer of โกโก on the face of the big cake.
And Lin Yun, who followed behind, except for the bright red shirt, was almost dressed like her mother, squirming and shaking the pink veil, and she was very self-conscious as a Xiucai sister.
"Poof" The bird's nest porridge in Lin Zimo's mouth squirted out, and a series of coughing sounds came out, the mother and daughter were very funny, they didn't pay attention just now, what kind of trouble are they going to make at this time? I don't know if I don't do this, won't it be so ugly?
Xiao Yan hurriedly stepped forward to pat Lin Zimo, and Xiao Miao wiped the ground clean with a rag. The eldest aunt covered her mouth with a handkerchief in disgust: "Is Zimo as for it?" Ask your family for bird's nest for your brother to eat, and you are so surprised? So reluctant? Lin Yun behind him also made the same move, covering his mouth with a handkerchief and his eyes pouting at him.
Hey, Lin Zimo even coughed and laughed, he was about to lose his breath, he decided, for the sake of his own life, he still gave up some wealth, waved his hand and signaled to Xiao Miao: "Give Uncle Niang a packet of bird's nest and a packet of rock candy." "At this time, there was no white sugar, only brown sugar and rock sugar, and the price of rock sugar has always been high due to its rarity.
Grandma handed him a bowl of water distressedly, and plucked her eyes at her eldest daughter-in-law: "Don't go around all day, make some delicious supplements for the two of them at home." The eldest aunt twisted her fat body unhappily: "Oh, mother, I am now a person with status, and I have a hired mother at home, so I don't need to be busy." As he spoke, after the bird's nest and rock candy handed by Xiao Miao, one twisted his daughter with him, and the two of them kept leaving.
Lin Zimo laughed again, he had never seen this mother and daughter so strange before! He turned his head and asked his grandmother, "What's wrong with my aunt at this time?" Grandma sighed: "She is always like this these days, saying that she is not only a talented lady, but also a champion mother in the future, waiting for Ziwen to earn his life!" I didn't do anything all day, I walked around with Yun'er, I don't know where I learned it, and I still held a shelf, saying that I was looking for a good guard!
Fortunately, the uncle's family does not live in the village permanently, and he will return to the county seat after worshipping the ancestral hall in a day or two, otherwise, this kind of fly-like character will not have a big obstacle, but it can disgust you to death.
The form of ancestor worship is very grand, the ancestral hall door is opened, the rich offerings are placed, the men of the He clan are standing outside the door, Lin Zimo is under the guidance of the patriarch, holding incense and solemnly bowing to the ancestral tablet, and the Xiucai identity tag of several people is copied separately and burned to the ancestor to show that the family has won glory.
The next day, Lin Zihao and Lin Zihan went back to the county to study, Lin Zimo was still not in good health, and rested for two days, although Lin Ziwen wanted to study with them, but the Lin family knew that they did not have such a big face in front of Mr. Chen, and in desperation, Lin Zihao thought of a way and promised to give him a copy of the reading notes pointed out by Mr. Chen after a while, and it was considered to repay Lin Ziwen's previous love, so he sent the family away.
After two more days, Lin Zimo rested and followed Lin Huaide to turn all the land at home. A few people in the family don't care about Lin Zimo's studies, as long as he lives well, and he learns to take care of some chores.
I didn't come back for more than a month, the ground next to the house is thriving, most of the fruit trees are growing well, the alfalfa is green, and in the few acres of land enclosed by the fence, the chickens and ducks that grow into them "croak" and scream, digging into a pond of five or six acres of land, the lotus leaves are spread all over the half, and from time to time there are small fish jumping out of the water.
Lin Zimo asked, "Dad, have you disinfected with quicklime before diverting water?" "If you don't disinfect it, the fish can get sick easily. Lin Huaide nodded with a smile on his face: "It's gone, the chopped alfalfa, bran, and bone meal are mixed with feed, and the fish also love to eat them, and they grow quickly." โ
The soil mountain bag next to the pond has been compacted, along the bluestone paved steps up, an octagonal pavilion was built on the top, the blue brick is the bottom, the top of the pure solid wood is supported by four thick wooden pillars, the red pillars are warped, depicting flowers and plants, sitting on the stone bench inside, and then putting a pot of tea on the stone table, looking at the surrounding scenery, tsk, don't be too moist this day!
The fields of the farm are well planned, neatly planted with wheat, corn, soybeans, sweet potatoes, etc., and the wheat seedlings are already as tall as adults' legs, with sufficient fertilizer, and grow green. Lin Huaide stroked the wheat seedlings, as if he was stroking a child: "Zimo, with sufficient fertilizer for the pig farm, this year's wheat can be 200 catties more per mu, which my father didn't expect before, and at that time I was worried that the fertilizer was not enough, and I couldn't think of this way."
Lin Zimo said with a smile: "Come up with this method, that is, our family does not have this condition, my father does not have to blame himself, I think my father is managing it very well now." Speaking of this, Lin Huaide blushed: "If you want to say that your father can't talk outside, this work routine is still familiar." Pointing to the land where corn and soybeans are interplanted, he sighed: "Look at this, according to your method, this corn grows well, soybeans grow well, it seems that crops also need gaps." โ
Lin Zimo smiled: "This is all well managed by Dad" walked to the edge of the sweet potato field, pointed to the squeezed leaves and said: "Dad, this sweet potato leaf can't be so dense, cut some properly, leave some gaps for them, the fruit in the ground grows big, and the cut sweet potato leaves are the best for pigs, and the tender part can be fried and eaten." โ
Lin Huaide was surprised: "Can people eat it too?" I thought it would be good to grow strong like this. Lin Zimo affirmed: "I can eat it, and the nutrition is good, I will go home and pick some and eat it back." โ
I looked at the pig farm again, and it was very good, rows of clean pig houses, running lively piglets, the women who raised pigs wore tight sleeves, and the fat trouser legs were also wrapped with strips of cloth, looking very neat, and said to the accompanying Zhuangtou: "That's it, we must keep the pig house hygienic, and use quicklime to eliminate the poison in a few days, if you find that there are pigs wilting, you must not hesitate, immediately isolate and observe." Zhuang Tou nodded again and again: "Yes, I remember the words of the third young master." โ
In short, Lin Zimo was more satisfied, so he said goodbye to his family and was sent to the county school by Lin Huaide.
