After eating, I took the black beans outside to facilitate it. Looking at the black beans that occupy a lot of land around the yard and make marks, Lin Zhu felt very funny, a little big, jumping around the yard, looking at everything curious, suddenly ran away and turned his head to look at Lin Zhu, saw that she didn't move, shouted at her twice, and ran back all of a sudden, and circled around Lin Zhu as if flattering. When I wake up in the morning, I feel in a good mood to have such a cute little thing around me.

Lin Zhu cleaned the yard first, and Hei Dou'er kept spinning at her feet, and seemed to have decided that Lin Zhu was its owner, and she loved to stick to her, but Hei Dou'er was a little naughty by nature, not only running in the yard, but also going to the vegetable field to make trouble. Afraid that it would trample on the vegetables in the vegetable field, Lin Zhu hurriedly stopped, "Black Beans, come here." Seeing that Hei Dou'er didn't take care of herself, Lin Zhu walked over and hugged it out directly, but Hei Dou'er thought she was playing with it, and didn't notice that the owner was already a little angry.

"Black Beans, you can't play in the vegetable patch, do you hear me? I'll be angry if you go there and make trouble again. "Lin Zhu warned it very seriously, but it didn't seem to have much effect." It seems to have to be taught slowly. Thinking that the owner was playing with him, the black bean stretched out his pink tongue and licked Lin Zhu's hand holding it, and puffed at her twice. Lin Zhu put it on the ground, reached out and scratched the chin of the black bean, seeing that it kept sticking out its little tongue and trying to lick itself, "Hmph, don't please me, if you go to the vegetable field to make trouble again, I won't spare you." Stretched out a finger against the small brain of the black bean, nodded at it, and saw it blinking the little bean's eyes, Lin Zhu also laughed at how he could talk to such a small thing, and it didn't understand.

After cleaning up the yard, Lin Zhu returned to the kitchen, took out the ribs hanging in the well, and chopped them into small pieces with a knife, but to be honest, Lin Zhu's small body is really not the material for doing this, the knife is heavy, the strength is small, and it is very difficult to chop up.

I finally chopped the ribs, and I was sweating all over my body. Because the ribs and meat are difficult to wash with clean water, Lin Zhu washed the rice first and left the rice washing water to prepare for washing the ribs and meat. Soak the ribs in rice washing water and wash them with clean water, and wash the two pieces of meat left over from yesterday in the same way.

Put water in a pot, bring the water to a boil, and blanch the drain in the boiling water, so that all the blood in the ribs will come out. Set aside the blanched pork ribs.

Lin Zhu made an appointment with Aunt Li yesterday to go to her house today, first, to get clothes and purses, and then to ask the village chief about the field. When she blanched the ribs, the time was almost up, Lin Zhu sorted out and planned to go out to the village chief's house, opened the courtyard door, and was about to go out of the house, when Hei Dou'er ran to her and wanted to go out with her, because the black bean was too small, Lin Zhu didn't want it to go out, "Hei Dou'er, are you good at home, I'll be back after a while." Black Bean seemed to understand what she said, tilted her head and sat on the ground without moving. Lin Zhu locked the courtyard door after going out, listened again, and walked towards the village with confidence when he found that there was no movement.

Walking all the way to the east, I passed by many houses, and found that the houses in the village were not very good, at least compared with her family, the yard was only fenced, most of them were fenced gates, many were adobe houses, thatched roofs, and only a few were built with bricks. On the way, I met a lot of villagers, but most of the people in the village had heard about the things in the courtyard of the village west, but they had not seen her in person, and they all looked at her curiously. When the villagers saw her standing at the door of the village chief's house, they stayed nearby and did not leave.

Lin Zhu knocked on the door, "Is the village chief at home?" After a while, Ruyu's cheerful milk baby voice came out of the door, "Who?" "Xiaoyu, it's me." When Lin Zhu heard Ruyu's voice, his originally somewhat apprehensive mood relaxed a little. The village chief has seen her, and has a good relationship with Lin Steward, Lin Zhu is very afraid that the village chief will not really help, although Aunt Li's mother and daughter get along well with her, but in the end, men and women think differently, and look at problems from different angles. In case the village chief thinks that there is no value in helping her, it is not necessary that he will stand by and watch.

"Xiaozhu, it's you who are here, come in, my mother was still talking about why you haven't come just now, come a little later, and I'll go look for you." Ruyu let Lin Zhu into the door, closed the courtyard door with his hand, and also closed the eyes of the villagers outside.

Ruyu pulled Lin Zhu with one hand and shouted as she walked: "Mother, Xiaozhu is here." Aunt Li, who was sitting in the hall, heard her little daughter's voice and walked out of it, "Xiaozhu, here." Come on in. Lin Zhu, who entered the hall, looked around. There was a table and two chairs in the hall facing the door, and four chairs on the left and right sides, but now only Aunt Li was there. "Xiaozhu, come and sit here." Aunt Li let Lin Zhu sit on the chair next to her, "Xiaoyu, her eldest brother accompanied her daughter-in-law back to her parents' house, and her second brother is studying in the town's school. Aunt Li explained to Lin Zhu why there were so few people in the family, "You and Xiaoyu will sit here for a while, and I'll call Hongwen and his father to come out." Lin Zhu's intention Aunt Li understood very well, turned around and walked out of the hall.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and Lin Zhu stood up a little nervously. Lin Changqing, the village head, walked in, looked at Lin Zhu standing, didn't say anything, walked directly to his exclusive chair and sat down, and didn't speak first. Aunt Li came over and saw Lin Zhu standing, looking nervous, so she opened her mouth to relieve several people, "Hongwen Dad, Xiaozhu has something to ask you, you can tell her well." Then he said to Ruyu: "Xiaoyu, you go to your sister first, and in a while, I will let Xiaozhu go to you." Ruyu agreed, turned around and walked out, seeing that Xiaoyu was far away, and pressed Lin Zhu to the chair and sat down, "You also sit down, don't be too restrained." If there is anything, tell you Uncle Lin. Hearing that Aunt Li asked Lin Zhu to call herself uncle, Lin Changqing was a little displeased, and just wanted to refute, but he happened to meet the eyes of Aunt Li, swallowed back the objection to his mouth, and coughed unnaturally twice.

"Uncle Village, I have something I want to ask you about here, there are abrupt places, please bear with me." Lin Zhu settled down and decided not to be as close as he was to Aunt Li, and it was better to be polite. "Well, I've heard a little about you, and Steward Lin also said it before leaving, let me take care of it, if there is anything you can say first, if you can help, you will definitely help." Listening to the meaning of the village chief's words, it was for the sake of Steward Lin's face that he saw her, Lin Zhu was very funny in his heart, people went to tea and cooled, not to mention that Steward Lin would never come back, even if he came back, there was no face at all, after all, Lin Changqing could not get any benefits from him, they were afraid to avoid her, and they would not have too much to do with Lin Changqing. This was just a tentative word from the village chief. "Uncle Village has helped me a lot before, and I have long wanted to come over Xie Lu to thank you, and I have troubled Aunt Li in the past two days." Lin Zhu admitted that the village chief had helped her and accepted his affection, but she just dodged Steward Lin. Lin Changqing heard the meaning of her words, and couldn't help but glance at Lin Zhu, feeling that she was not like an eight-year-old child, she spoke very well, and it could be seen that she didn't want to be involved with Manager Lin and the people behind him, "I have the title deed of five acres of land in my hand, but I don't know where these fields are in Lu Dao, and I don't know what Lu Dao has planted, so I came to ask you." Lin Zhu directly stated the purpose of her coming to the village chief.

Seeing Lin Zhu so direct, Lin Changqing didn't want to embarrass her, "I know this, there are two acres of paddy fields, next to my family's land in the east of the village, planted rice, and it will be harvested in autumn in another month, and three acres of dry land are on the edge of your farm, at the foot of Xiaoqingshan." I planted some beans, sorghum and the like, and I was about to harvest them. "These harvests should be mine, right?" Lin Zhu was afraid that the two of them would sell the harvest in the field before leaving, and it was not impossible for the Wang family to do such a thing. "It's yours," Lin Changqing gave an affirmative answer, knowing that Lin Zhu was not untargeted, and Wang's character was very greedy. Only this time they were bent on leaving the place, and they did not have time to deal with the fields, and the harvest of the previous eight years was in their pockets.

Lin Zhu was relieved, "Uncle Xie Xie, it's just that I don't know how to harvest autumn, what should I do when the time comes?" "Actually, a few days ago, I also talked to your Aunt Li about this, it's normal for you to be a child who doesn't understand this, and you have a lot of fields, even if you understand, this farm work is not something you can do, I mean you find someone to help, there are short-term workers during the autumn harvest, you can find those people, it used to be 30 wen a day for one person, because the farm is only a few days, and the salary is a little more expensive." Lin Changqing directly said his opinion. "Those lands of yours, find three people to work on them for two days, and it's over."

"Uncle Lin, you look at the matter of looking for a short-term job, can you help me find it? I don't know anyone in the village. From the conversation with Lin Changqing, Lin Zhu slowly found that Lin Changqing was an upright person, and what he said was also very pertinent, and his opinion of him changed in his heart, and even his name changed. Of course, Lin Changqing discovered this change, and he also saw that Lin Zhu was not like ordinary children who were ignorant of the world, and now he was able to be the master of the house. He is very decisive in handling things, and he doesn't drag his feet at all. From her words, it can be heard that she has a lot of trust in her family. "Okay, I'll help you find it then." Lin Changqing also agreed to her very simply.

Aunt Li saw that the two of them had basically negotiated, so she wanted to take Lin Zhu out of Lu to get the clothes and purses of Lu Cheng, Ruyu had been talking about playing with Lin Zhu since yesterday, and it would be time for the two of them to play.

Lin Zhu also remembered the clothes and purse, but she wanted to invite the village chief's family to eat at home today. So he said to Lin Changqing, "Uncle Lin, I have nothing to thank you for bothering you so much, I want to invite you and my aunt to my house for dinner today, and Xiaoyu and Sister Youqing will also go together." ”
