Chapter 6: The First Nobleman

Seeing Lin Zhu happily accept it, Aunt Li was also very happy. Lin Zhu took the eggs in the basket to the kitchen and put them away, and returned the basket to Aunt Li, remembering that there were some things that should be consulted with Aunt Li.

"Aunt Li, there is something I want to ask you, I want to buy some quilts and clothes, where should I buy them? I haven't bought it myself before. Lin Zhu said a little shyly, hearing Lin Zhu's question, Aunt Li was stunned for a moment, but the next moment she understood, it seems that Lin Zhu's previous situation is not much better than now. However, she also wondered in her heart that since the things she commonly used were no longer used, would she still leave her money? I don't have the money to buy anything. Lin Zhu saw the confusion in Aunt Li's eyes, and immediately explained: "I saved some money, I don't need to buy too good ones, as long as the average ones are good, they should be enough." "Hearing this, Aunt Li was also a little relieved, at a young age, she already knew that she was planning for herself, and she could save some private money under such a shrewd and mean person, no matter how much, it was good." If you want to buy something, you have to go to the town, every five and ten is the day of the market, and I will take you with me then, well, today is the third day of the new year, the day after tomorrow, and I will ask you to go together. But we are ten miles away from the town, you have to go early in the morning, Lin Dazhu's family in the village has an ox cart, if you want to sit, you have to give a penny, come back, he can also help you bring back the things you bought, you are weak, I am afraid that you will walk such a long way, you can't stand it, it is best to take a car, usually the people in the village have to walk for an hour or so. You can also take the car faster," Aunt Li introduced Lin Zhu seriously, "Xie Lu, thank Aunt Li, you must call me when you go." Looking at Aunt Li's eyes, she was full of gratitude. When I have cleaned up my house, please come and visit the village chief. Thank you for taking such good care of me. ”

Seeing that Lin Zhu has been thanking her, Aunt Li knew that she was a good child from the bottom of her heart, and before she saw Lin Zhu, she just took pity on this child who was abandoned by her parents, and came to take a look, and after some conversation, her mood changed, from pity to like. Looking at Lin Zhu's gaze, there was a warm smile.

"Okay, we will definitely come when the time comes, and you will often go to our house in the future, I have two sons and two daughters at home, and the younger daughter is the same age as you, you will definitely be able to play together." Aunt Li happily agreed to Lin Zhu's invitation and introduced her to family members. Aunt Li and Lin Changqing, village head, have two sons, two daughters and four children, the eldest son Lin Hongwen is twenty years old this year, has married a wife, is the daughter of the village chief of the neighboring village Xiaoliuzhuang called Liu Qiucui is eighteen years old this year, married for two years, the second son Lin Hongyuan is seventeen years old, has been engaged, ready to get married at the end of the year, the woman is from Aunt Li's mother's village, the eldest daughter Lin Youqing is twelve years old, the second daughter Lin Ruyu is eight years old, the same age as Lin Zhu, and because of this, Aunt Li has special pity for Lin Zhu.

Aunt Li talked to Lin Zhu for a while, then got up and said goodbye, and when she left, she repeatedly took care of Lin Zhu to close the door, pay attention to safety, and said that she would come to pick her up on the day of the market.

Village chief Lin Changqing's house is in the east of the village, the location is very good, built five main houses, two side rooms, and also surrounded a large yard, the yard planted a lot of vegetables, there are cabbage, eggplant, cucumbers, etc., there are more than a dozen chickens in the west corner, with a fence to prevent the chickens from running out to steal the vegetables. When Aunt Li returned home, she saw Lin Changqing sitting on the bench in the courtyard and said hello, "Boss, I'm back." Put the basket down, wash your hands again, and after drying it, Lin Changqing was opposite.

"I'm back, how about you went over and saw it?" Aunt Li went to Lin Zhu's house because Lin Changqing asked her to go, and when she saw her come back, she naturally asked about the situation carefully. "Well, I went to see that the little girl is not easy," Aunt Li sighed, "At first, I said that I didn't want to accept the eggs I sent, but I reluctantly accepted them in the end, and when I came back, I also loaded two handfuls of vegetables, not a person who likes to take advantage." ”

"How's the body? I heard that the first two had a serious illness, and they are about to die. ”

"The illness is cured, but it looks a little weak, the body is too thin, the same age as our Xiaoyu, and more than half a head shorter than Xiaoyu. It seems that he has suffered a lot, there are no decent things at home, and the clothes on his body are in tatters. Aunt Li felt distressed for Lin Zhu, and there was some anger in her tone. Listening to the meaning of Steward Lin, they will not come back, this Zhu sister has settled in our village, the household registration has been completed, and those who don't even want their parents are already fated to be alive. Don't look at her pitiful and be too good to her, she's alone, if you let her get entangled, it's not good for our family. Lin Changqing said disapprerovingly.

"I don't think that kid can rely on others, don't look small, he can already plan for himself, the Wang family is such a shrewd person, Sister Zhu can still save private money under her nose, it's an idea. Don't worry about it. "Aunt Li has the heart to protect Lin Zhu." Even told you this? Lin Changqing was a little surprised, with his understanding of Steward Lin and the Wang family, he didn't look like a generous person. Alas, in fact, there is not much, this child wants to buy quilts and clothes, and asks me where to buy them, in fact, I don't believe that she can have money in her hands, maybe I don't believe it, so I told me that I have a little money in my hand, but it's not much, I see, it's good to have a few hundred dollars. Looking at the appearance of her house, there are not one or two things missing, and she has no money to buy some important things. It's really hard for such a young child. Aunt Li sighed a little that Lin Zhu's life experience was not easy.

"Really? There is still a month before the autumn harvest, and she now has five acres of land, so she should have more money in her hands by then. Lin Changqing also revealed a little bit of Lin Zhu's family background to his wife, so that she knew that Lin Zhu still had fields and harvests, and she would not be sad in the future, and she could also reassure her." Does Sister Zhu know about this? "It should be known that the household registration and title deed were done by me and the forest steward, and her name was written on them." "That's good, if you really worry about this child," Aunt Li also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, "But these lands, what to do when the autumn is harvested, she is such a villain, she shouldn't do these things, right?" ”

"You, why do you take on so much care for others, when the time comes, just remind her to find someone to help, either give money or food, there will always be someone to help." Lin Changqing's overzealous wife is also helpless, he knows his wife very well, Aunt Li is a generous and enthusiastic person, many people in the village have been helped by her, so Lin Changqing has a high reputation in the village as the village head, and part of it is the good fate of Aunt Li. Lin Changqing is very satisfied with his wife, and the relationship between the two is usually very good, and his wife manages the family in an orderly manner. Although he didn't want to have a close relationship with Lin Zhu, he liked that child because of his wife's appearance, so he would take care of Lin Zhu for the sake of Aunt Li's face.

"Well, tell her when the time comes, she will listen, she is a polite child, and said that when she tidies up the house in a few days, she will invite us to her house as guests." Aunt Li was very happy with her husband's attitude, so she said that Lin Zhu was going to have a treat, and also added a little favor to her in front of Lin Changqing.

"She really told you that, why is it different from what Steward Lin said." Lin Changqing was a little surprised when he heard Aunt Li's words, Lin Steward had clearly told him that Lin Zhu had been timid since he was a child, he didn't like to talk, he didn't know anything, and if he lived here, he would definitely rely on others, Lin Changqing didn't want to do much, so he didn't like Lin Zhu, since his wife heard about it, he went to visit Lin Zhu, and he was always worried that his kind wife would ask for trouble. When Aunt Li came back, when he talked about Lin Zhu, he was more worried that he would have more troubles that he couldn't get rid of, but when he heard his wife praise Lin Zhu, it seemed that he was not alone with Steward Lin. Lin Changqing still trusts his wife very much, after all, thinking about it afterwards, Steward Lin never said where they came from before and after, and their origin is unknown, but he left an eight-year-old child here, and said that he would break off the relationship, and they would not come back to this village, which made Lin Changqing very unhappy. As the head of a village, Lin Changqing is very prestigious in the village because he is upright, fair, and has a lot of prestige in the village, so he is very worried about leaving Lin Zhu alone in Linjia Village. Now it seems that his wife's first impression of Lin Zhu is good, so she is not very repulsive to Lin Zhu.

I have to say that Lin Zhu's luck is very good, and the appearance of Aunt Li will rain in time for her. Befriending an easy-to-approach, kind-hearted elder, and a village chief's wife with some status in the village is very helpful for her to integrate into Linjia Village and this era. Aunt Li can be said to be Lin Zhu's first noble person in this world. By talking to Aunt Li, Lin Zhu also liked her very much, so Lin Zhu decided to tidy up his home as soon as possible, so that he could invite Aunt Li's family to come over.

In fact, Lin Zhu has another idea, she wants to understand the era she is in through the village chief, she only knows that Lu Dao is now ancient, but she doesn't know what dynasty Lu Dao is, she also wants to have a general understanding of the people's livelihood and the law, and she can't live here blindly. Therefore, it is essential to make friends with the village chief's family.

Lin Zhu is looking forward to going to the town to catch the market the day after tomorrow, when the time comes, not only to buy some daily necessities, but also to buy some gifts, you have to visit the village chief's family first, so that they can be invited to come over, and the pastries and food for hospitality should also be prepared, not too good to attract attention, nor too shabby, making people feel neglected. Lin Zhu felt that he had to buy two small gifts for Aunt Li's two daughters, so that Aunt Li should be very happy, Lin Zhu thought happily.

Because of a good start, Lin Zhu was a little excited, until he rested at night, he was still thinking about what to buy in the town, try to be thoughtful, and most importantly, if he could buy more things and put them in the space without being noticed.
