Chapter 41: The Village Chief Comes to the Door (Plus Change)
(Book friends voted to urge the change, because there is no stock in the current code every day, and it can only be added slowly, Xie Lu Xie Shuyou's attention, and don't worry)
When the father and son of the Wang family were discussing where to put the bundled rice, Lin Zhu came to deliver the rice, or the baked oil cakes, a total of nine yards of neat, stewed with meat and eggplant, full of two large bowls, full of portions, especially Lin Zhu put as much meat as vegetables, oily, very tempting.
"Little bamboo girl, after eating the food you cooked, how can you let the uncle eat the food cooked by your aunt in the future!" Wang Shudun sighed while eating, "Uncle Wang, you are very tired from work, you should eat something good." Lin Zhu smiled.
Not only Wang Shudun, but even his two sons also ate a mouth full of oil, very satisfied, even during the New Year, they may not eat so well, the family, each person can get a limited amount of meat, which is like eating meat now that heart is happy.
After the three of them finished eating, Wang Shudun told her about Wenshanniang's visit today, but he was not surprised to see her, but showed such a look, he couldn't help but admire Lin Zhu, he couldn't look at her with the eyes of an eight-year-old child, she showed like an adult.
"Uncle Wang, I already know about this, don't make a noise, some people want to take advantage of it, they may lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot, let's wait and see." Lin Zhu sneered in his heart, he really thought that he could be bullied casually without anyone's support. "Okay," Wang Shudun nodded, paused for a while and said, "Now the piece of land that has been left untied, I discussed with the second and third children just now, should I bring these rice home for you today?" Lin Zhu thought for a while and asked, "Uncle Wang, when will these rice be threshed?" How to threshing? ”
"The rice still has to be dried for a while, but it is not convenient to put it in the field during this time, and there is a threshing floor in the village, and every family stacks the rice there." Wang Shudun told Lin Zhu about the usual customs of the people in the village. Lin Zhu thought about it, although he planted a lot of vegetables and raised some chickens, but the place in the yard was still big, looking at the rice they bundled, the yard would definitely be able to put it, and the threshing floor in the village, he had never greeted the people in the village, and he went rashly, which made people unhappy. And it is also convenient for her to put it in the space at home.
"It's far from home, how can I get it all back?" Lin Zhu looked at the three of the Wang family's father and son, and said in his heart, you won't want to carry it back by yourself. "It would be best if we could borrow an ox cart, and if we can't borrow it, we will carry it back." For Wang Shudun, Chong Linzhu delivers such a delicious meal every time, and it is also appropriate for him to make some efforts.
"Then let's borrow a car, do I have to give them money?" The rice in their own fields can be pulled back quickly with an ox cart, and if they are allowed to carry it back little by little, it will not only take a long time, but also be very tiring, which will definitely affect the subsequent work. Instead of making them tired until the next day, reduce their work efficiency and extend their working hours, it is better to borrow an ox cart directly to make it easier for them. "This will be everyone's cutting rice, and it's not time to use the ox cart, let's go to find it not only easy to find but also cheaper, Lin Dazhu's ox cart can be borrowed." Wang Shudun knows these things very well.
"Then trouble Uncle Wang to come forward to borrow it, he will give it if he wants money, don't worry." Lin Zhu made a final decision.
After Lin Zhu left, Wang Shudun said to his two sons seriously: "Look at it, Miss Xiaozhu will definitely be extraordinary in the future, she is only eight years old, not only has a scheming but also a calm heart, you two have to follow her to learn." Wang Sen somewhat understood his father's words, but although Wang Lin was still a little ignorant, he also understood that he couldn't underestimate Lin Zhu.
Wang Shudun took his two sons to Lin Dazhu to borrow an ox cart first, originally Lin Dazhu lent an ox cart for 30 wen a day, and the rice in the forest bamboo field could be pulled without half a day's work, so he said that it was good to borrow 15 wen, and less than half a day would be counted as half a day. After a few trips back and forth, she brought all the rice in the forest and bamboo fields back to her house.
Looking at the rice stacked in the yard, Lin Zhu was very satisfied, this is her food for the next year, she will definitely not be able to eat it. However, this is the first year of her era, and she has to keep some reserves for herself, so she is ready to keep half of it, and the remaining half will be sold again to see how to pay her taxes, and also get out of the remaining half.
When the father and son of the Wang family pulled the rice, they found that Wen Shanniang couldn't stop looking at them, and seemed relieved to see them gone. Let them look down on them even more, it's really embarrassing for you to bully a child and use such unpopular means. Regardless of Wen Shanniang, after the three of them pulled the rice back to Lin Zhu's house, they returned the ox cart, gave Lin Zhu the money they asked them to pay Lin Dazhu, and went to work in the dry land behind Lin Zhu's house. Lin Zhu prepared it for the Wang family and his son for dinner yesterday, cut a plate of pork liver, put in the seasoning, and let them take it home together. As soon as they returned home and saw this, the family's gratitude to Lin Zhu was not mentioned.
It is said that after the village chief Lin Changqing finished a day's work, he ate a little at home, and then took Aunt Li to his cousin Lin Changsheng's house. Seeing Lin Changqing and Aunt Li coming over together, and Lin Changqing's face was obviously not good, Lin Changsheng didn't know what happened to Lu Dao for a while, so he had to invite the husband and wife into the hall and talk slowly.
After he listened to the words of the village chief, he also muttered a little in his heart, yesterday his mother-in-law was out of the house for a while, but he didn't think much about it, thinking that she was out of the house and went to the door, and he didn't care. But now that his cousin has found his home, he called Wen Shanniang into the house and carefully asked if he had stolen Lin Zhu's rice.
When Wen Shanniang saw the village chief and Aunt Li coming over, she felt a little weak in her heart, after all, there was a ghost in her heart, and as soon as Lin Changsheng called her, her heart immediately rose to her throat, and she was afraid that what she had done would be known. But she thought again, there must be no evidence, so she pretended to be calm and entered the hall.
"Child, mother, do you have something to tell me?" Lin Changsheng's face was very calm when he saw his wife come in, and he really hoped that what his cousin said had nothing to do with her. "What do you want me to say?" Wen Shanniang will definitely not simply come out, as a veteran who takes advantage of the situation, it is even better to shirk and deny.
"Really? Where did you go after dinner last night? "Her husband's tone of asking the prisoner made Wen Shanniang angry, but it was not good to have a seizure, and she couldn't stop complaining about him in her heart, hoping that he would drive the two village chiefs out of Lu immediately, but the reality made her hope come to naught." Yesterday, there was a lot of rice in the field of Lin Zhu's house, which was next to our two lands, and it was obvious that people accidentally "took the wrong one", so they were close to our two families, so we came to you first and asked, how you can tell us if you see it, and forget it if you don't see it. Aunt Li deliberately accentuated her tone on the wrong word.
