Chapter 51: Harvesting Grain
In the evening, Lin Xiaoman appeared at the Fan family's dinner table for the first time. Although Lin didn't agree with her husband doing this, after all, if you want to eat together, you should sit down and eat together when Lin Xiaoman comes. But to show her respect for her husband, she still greeted Lin Xiaoman for dinner with a smile on her face.
Fan Zijun and Fan Ziqing stared at Lin Xiaoman viciously. Especially Fan Zijun, he is seven years old, and when he is studying in the school, it is inevitable that he will know a little about the world. So he looked at Lin Xiaoman's eyes full of disgust, and the little sister said more than once that this little beggar was hateful. I didn't expect it to be more and more excessive this time, and I don't know what she said in front of her father, what tricks she used, and she dared to squeeze into their dinner table.
Lin Xiaoman pretended not to see the two little ghosts, and his eyes were bright. After a very ladylike greeting Fan Zhenbang, she ate quietly.
This made Fan Zhenbang nod secretly, and he didn't know how the child's parents taught the child, and the tutor was so good. It seems that Zixia has been with her for a long time, and she is not afraid of being taken badly!
Before, for the Lin family to bring such a country girl back, although he didn't care about the rations of one more person, he was afraid that his baby daughter would be taken badly, so later the Lin family would stay in the kitchen and ignore Lin Xiaoman, most of the reasons were because of him.
At the dinner table, the Fan family pays attention to food and sleep. After eating, Fan Zhenbang called Lin back to the room, told her roughly what he had said to Lin Xiaoman, and then asked Lin Xiaoman's family if they were different from others.
Lin listened to her husband's words, her face was full of confusion, Chen has been from Xinghua Village since she was a child, although they are separated by a village, but it does not prevent the two of them from forming a handkerchief.
It's just that after they got married, they didn't have any contact. It was also the last time she went back to her parents' house, and under the broken mouth of her second sister-in-law, she knew that Chen's life was difficult. Moreover, after Chen's husband Lin Youning went to the army and his whereabouts were unknown, Chen and her children were left by their in-laws and raised a group of children alone.
If you want to say that Chen has that ability, why will he be kicked out by his in-laws?
She absolutely didn't believe that the Chen family could hand over such a seven-trick daughter, could it be that in her mother's house before, it was true that her mother said that this Lin Xiaoman was blessed by the mountain god?
Fan Zhenbang walked back and forth, quite distressed. Although he signed a contract with Na Lin Xiaoman, to be honest, he didn't fully believe that this was something that a child could do.
Behind her, there must be someone else.
Lin thought of something else, she remembered what her mother had said about the tiger. said that the whole village went to the mountains to look for Lin Xiaoman, but they saw a killed tiger next to her. The whole village was talking about it, saying that she was blessed by the mountain god grandfather, so not to mention that the hair lesions of the original dementia were cured, and the beasts did not dare to violate them.
She originally scoffed at what she said, but now when she heard what her husband said, she suddenly felt apprehensive. Could it be that Lin Xiaoman really has the help of immortals, so he will have that adventure.
Fan Zhenbang saw Lin's trance-like appearance, his heart suddenly jumped, and he hurriedly asked. Lin had no choice but to tell him about the tiger and poured beans.
Fan Zhenbang suddenly realized at this time, and said to the Lin family: "Could it be that the shopkeeper drunk doesn't mean to drink?" Do you want to know who killed the tiger? I don't know where to start, so I'm looking for Lin Xiaoman? “
Lin Shi was also puzzled, and said, "Where did Xiaoman provide you with those sweet potato seeds?" If she hadn't been sure, she wouldn't have signed a contract with you, would she? ”
"Why don't we call Xiaoman here and ask him better?" Lin asked cautiously.
Fan Zhenbang shook his hand and said, "Forget it, since I have signed a contract, no matter how young she is, I can't break the contract." Otherwise, where is the integrity? It's just that I'm still very worried, after all, she said that she found it in the mountains. If you look for it again, you will definitely have to go up the mountain again. If you lose it again, it's not good. It's better that you follow her this time, and you can be considered to have a care. ”
Fan Zhenbang pondered for a while, and then said, "It's really not good, it's better to ask your father-in-law for help." There's no hurry in this matter, I'll go to the shopkeeper to find out the truth first. If you really only need the sweet potato seeds, it will be considered a lot of money at that time. ”
Lin Shi listened and hurriedly nodded yes.
Lin Xiaoman was lying on the bed in the hut, knowing that Fan Zhenbang was not at ease with himself, and he still had some doubts that he was talking nonsense. So, she wasn't overly proactive. One of the most troublesome things now is how to make the sweet potatoes in the space appear in front of everyone reasonably without being suspected by others.
Also, if you go back to the village this time, how to persuade Chen to let him go up the mountain is also the most difficult.
Either way, though, this is always an opportunity! Therefore, after she entered the space this time, in addition to the gold coins that bought seeds, she planted sweet potatoes in addition. I don't know when Fan Zhenbang will want the goods, so it's always right for her to stock up first.
In the box on the second floor of the welcome house, the shopkeeper was entertaining the new magistrate Qian.
"Mr. Qian, please, this is a dim sum that we finally got from our store, called sweet potato! The taste is fragrant and sweet, and it is soft and melts in the mouth. The shopkeeper Bao's smiling face was like that of Maitreya Buddha, and he put the sweet potato in his hand with chopsticks in the dishes of Qian Zhixian.
Qian Zhixian excused himself, then raised his chopsticks and symbolically tasted a little. His eyes lit up, he had been an official for so long, and he had never eaten this kind of food. Although he is delicious, he can't come out now. The biggest reason why he came to Baitou Town this time was that the taxes had not been paid.
Now, he has been belittled again and again by the second prince, and if he is degraded again, he doesn't know if he can eat this kind of dim sum called sweet potato.
"Shopkeeper Bao, you are one of the best people in this town, and I am not afraid to tell you the truth. This official is here to collect this year's taxes. If there is any shortcoming, please also take the head of the shopkeeper and express it. Qian Zhixian swallowed the mouthful of sweet potato in his mouth and said seriously.
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "This is natural, as long as it is the responsibility of the store, the store is duty-bound." It's just that I heard that the harvest is not very good in various places this year, and now it is the time when the green and yellow crops are not harvested, if you want to harvest grain, it will at least wait until the rice and wheat are ripe! ”
Qian Zhixian scolded secretly, "Old fox." But I also know that what the shopkeeper said is true. But the second prince has repeatedly put pressure on him, even if he doesn't agree, what's the use? This time, it can be demoted to a seven-grade sesame official, and next time it is estimated that it will be demoted to guarding the city gate!
"That's why I asked for the bag shopkeeper! After all, I don't want the people to suffer so much and not have enough to eat. Qian Zhixian kicked the ball back.
