Chapter 142: Official Mission

Aunt Fang opened her mouth at this moment: "What Uncle said is that I agreed at the beginning, just what happened at the beginning, if I didn't agree with me and Pumpkin, I was afraid that my life would have been gone, and my father-in-law went to die, so I left Pumpkin and I to depend on each other, I, as a mother, have to take care of the child, do you say yes, we won't mention the previous things, I just want to move my father-in-law's grave when I come back this time, since he can't be buried in the ancestral grave, then it's the same everywhere he is buried, Pumpkin and I will live in Ningyang City in the future, If you remember my dead husband, please don't stop us tomorrow. ”

After speaking, after giving everyone a heavy salute, he looked at the village chief: "Pumpkin will always be the Li family, now he is the best academy in Ningyang City, and he will also take the top exam in the future. ”

She knew that at this time, the appropriate benefits would have a different effect.

Lin Qingdai also said: "Aunt Fang said this, I can prove it is true, although the pumpkin is my brother's scholar, but I asked the pumpkin to follow my brother, but also wanted him to follow the study, the gentlemen of the Hanwen Academy are very fond of pumpkins, and praise the pumpkin for being smart, and the pumpkin wants to be an official, and he will definitely go to the top exam in the future, I will also support the pumpkin, you think, if the pumpkin is the champion of high school, this holy decree, the plaque given by the emperor's imperial pen is raised, and your Li family is not allowed to glorify the ancestors." ”

The people of Huaihua Village came to the spirit in an instant, and they also understood a truth, it is impossible for the children in the village to have a bright future, and Huaihua Village is so poor, if they really want to produce a champion, they also have face!

At that time, I was worried that there would be no girl to marry into the village, and it was estimated that the people around me would be envious to death.

Village Chief Li was moved, and the old people in the village were also moved, the pumpkin was grown up by them since childhood, with a smart head and a sensible child, and Aunt Fang was not the kind of ungrateful person, otherwise, she would not have come back to move the grave.

Village Chief Li suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "Miss Lin, can you speak?" ”

Lin Qingdai smiled and said, "Naturally! Pumpkin has always been thinking about the village, you watched the pumpkin grow up, know the behavior of the pumpkin, we moved the grave, not to return, not to mention not to admit their identity, but to have to do it, you think about it, how long does it take to return to Huaihua Village from Ningyang City! Pumpkin is now going to study hard in the academy, but he is a filial child, and he can't come back to burn paper to the grave of his dead father, but he didn't come back this time, and he cried. ”

Aunt Fang knows what Lin Qingdai is going to do, and these are not lies, their mother and son are not forgetful people, if the pumpkin really goes to that point in the future, they will come back.

He assured with certainty: "I want to move the grave, but I don't want my father-in-law to go to the grave, think about it, after we left, who has been to my father-in-law's grave?" Qingming New Year, who has taken a look, moved the grave, pumpkin can do filial piety, I can also go to the grave, but also find a place to talk, and please fulfill our heart, tomorrow we move the grave if you can't help, we are also grateful, just ask you not to stop us. ”

Aunt Osmanthus couldn't hold back any longer, her eyes were a little moist, and she took the lead and said, "I'll let my son carry the coffin tomorrow." ”

Her eldest son was eighteen years old, and he was a strong young man, so he was too suitable to carry the coffin.

Several women who had a good relationship with Aunt Fang also stood up and said that they would not stop them tomorrow and would help Aunt Fang.

Aunt Fang was grateful.

And Aunt Hua was very dissatisfied on the side, her face full of wrinkles, full of anger.

Old man Li's face is not good, he has always disliked the pumpkin family, sure enough, it was right not to like it at the beginning, look at what they have done!

There are many people in the village who have expressed their stance and will not come out to obstruct it tomorrow.

And Village Chief Li and a few clan elders also said, and a few people muttered and discussed for a long time on the side, before Village Chief Li came over and said: "We won't stop you from moving the grave tomorrow, but I can't control Old Man Li's family, so you should be mentally prepared." ”

This is obviously on Aunt Fang's side, Old Man Li suddenly became angry, pointed at Village Chief Li and said, "What do you mean, dog!" Did this slut buy you in a few words? Do you really believe that pumpkins can be the top in high school! She's deliberately saying those things to fool you. ”

In the past, the village chief and his relatives were on his side, but he didn't expect everyone to change their attitude this time, which is not a good thing.

Village Chief Li said with a resolute attitude: "It's not all because of pumpkins, old man Li, don't shout dog baby, dog baby, I'm so dozens of years old, is it interesting that you still shout my name how old I am?" I didn't even call you a. ”

"Poof" Lin Qingdai couldn't help laughing anymore, Village Chief Li was really funny.

But when I thought of Old Man Li calling him a dog, I couldn't help but laugh.

Old man Li's face changed, and he snorted: "I have remembered all of you one by one, don't have anything in my hands in the future, otherwise you will be comfortable." ”

Village Chief Li sneered and said: "Why are you still threatening people, I want to see how you want to retaliate then, everyone doesn't interfere in this matter, it's not to give you face, this is your family matter, if we all interfere, it will not be good for you, think about the people your family has offended in the past few years." ”

Lin Qingdai listened to it with relish, these Aunt Fang had said before, Old Man Li didn't know how to deal with things, Aunt Hua loved to take advantage, and the other two daughters-in-law were not fuel-efficient lamps, and they caused trouble everywhere in the village, so only Aunt Fang had a gentle attitude and got along well with everyone.

It was close to noon, Lin Qingdai was a little hungry, and Li Xiaoshu, who went to ask the official, had not come back yet, Lin Qingdai still wanted to wait to see a good show, so she looked at Aunt Osmanthus and said: "Auntie, you have chickens and ducks in your family, as well as rice and noodles and other things, can you move the pot stove to the entrance of the village, I will buy two chickens to eat." ”

Of course Aunt Osmanthus was willing, and she agreed again and again.

"Chen Long, you and Aunt Fang go together to get the things, let's cook chicken at the entrance of the village today, let's eat braised chicken."

Lin Qingdai has wanted to eat meat recently, and she probably suffocated when she was in Nanhe City, after all, she is too poor over there, and eating meat is really luxurious.

Aunt Fang hurriedly left with Aunt Osmanthus, Chen Long also followed, Lin Qingdai asked Chen Long to follow, because she was afraid to go to the village to embarrass Aunt Fang's family, and she was not afraid if Chen Long followed.

Many people in the village were also hungry, and a group of people went back at the moment.

And Village Chief Li and a few relatives are still at the entrance of the village, they haven't eaten meat for a long time, thinking of Lin Qingdai's generosity, even the imperial tribute tea is willing to give them to drink, and the chicken is not allowed to have a bite of them, so they naturally have a cheeky face.

Old man Li didn't leave, but moved a small stool to sit down, and Li Dashu also sat aside.

However, Aunt Hua and her two daughters-in-law went back with their children, and the lively village entrance was much quieter.

There were fewer people, and Village Chief Li had something to say, "Miss Lin, what are you doing!" ”

He didn't doubt Lin Qingdai, he just felt that a girl's family could get the favor of the emperor and the prince.

After Lin Qingdai poured tea for a few more people, the tea had become weak, so she asked Qingkong to make a new pot.

Slowly explained: "I'm just a doctor, in addition to treating diseases and saving people, I only have some small skills, and now I mainly spend money, spend money to help the poor." ”

Village Chief Li's eyes lit up and said, "You see that our village is also very poor, can Miss Lin help a little?" ”

Lin Qingdai shook her head directly and said: "Your village is not poor enough, I think the village chief must have heard about Anyang City and Nanhe City, there was a plague in Anyang City before, ten rooms and nine empty, people died and the land was wasted, our charity raised money, I helped Duanwang at that time, helped the wandering people settle down in Anyang City, help them start over, and every family can farm." ”

The plague is so serious, even in the clogged Huaihua Village, everyone has heard some news.

Village Chief Li was surprised: "It's really a land allocation." ”

Lin Qingdai nodded and said: "The government divides the land, and the land belongs to the government, but you don't have to pay taxes for the first three years, and the thatched houses where the people in the village live are also built by the government and our charity association for free, in addition, those who are willing to settle in Anyang City can also get a subsidy of one or two silver per person, this is afraid that everyone will not be able to afford to eat and be hungry, if you buy food for one or two silver, it is enough for one person to eat for a year." ”

Village Chief Li never expected that there would be such a good thing in the world.

Not only was Village Chief Li shocked, but even several clan elders and the old man Li who was sitting not far away were surprised.

They never thought that there would be such a good thing in the world.

"Then can there be such a good thing when you go to Anyang City now?" Village Chief Li asked urgently, if there is such a good thing, he is also willing to go to Anyang City.

Lin Qingdai shook her head and said: "No, now every village has arranged people, and the land has been cultivated, if you have an idea, you can go to Nanhe City, you are closer to Nanhe City, you should know that many people died in the previous drought, and many villages over there are no one, if you want to go over, you can go to the government to report, I am serious, now Nanhe City is better than your Huaihua Village, whether it is the village in Nanhe City, you don't have to worry about the drought, because there are many streams and canals dug over there." ”

She was really showing a clear way to these people, and Aunt Guihua, who happened to send the pot out, heard these words, stood in place and said in surprise: "Is what Miss Lin said true?" My son is 18 years old this year and has not yet started a family, and the family does not have much land, can we go over? ”

Lin Qingdai had a good impression of Aunt Osmanthus, and she also liked this straightforward woman, and said: "Naturally, if you want to go over, I can write you a letter of introduction if you decide that I can go to Nanhe City to find Lord Qin directly, and he will arrange it for you when he sees the letter." ”

Aunt Osmanthus was immediately excited, seriously, there is nothing good in Huaihua Village, there is not much land that can be cultivated, and it is remote, although you can rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, but everyone does not know how to make money, and after a year of hard work, there is no surplus money, even her son, no one has said matchmaking.

Many families in Huaihua Village are in this situation, everyone is very poor because the family has no money, and they have not been able to marry a daughter-in-law, and there are many singles in the village.

And the girl from the other village, seeing that Huaihua Village is so poor, who wants to marry, many young people in the village want to go out and have a look, but they don't have the courage, she thinks that her son is very good, whether it is character or whatever, it is excellent, but the current situation really makes her anxious.

Now, there is a broad road in front of her, how can she give up, when she went to get things with Aunt Fang, she asked Aunt Fang carefully, Aunt Fang also told her about the situation in Nanhe City, if you go to Nanhe City, maybe you will get a large piece of land, although the land is the government's, you also have to pay taxes, but the first three years are tax-free, three years are a little diligent, the land is done well, maybe you can save a sum of money, with silver you can marry a daughter-in-law for your children.

And with Lin Qingdai's help, she believes it will be very good.

Aunt Osmanthus said repeatedly: "I am willing, Miss Lin, you must help me, our family is willing to go to Nanhe City." ”

Village Chief Li said worriedly: "Osmanthus, it is said that I can't intervene in this kind of thing, but this is related to your family, and you don't know what Nanhe City will become." ”

Aunt Osmanthus was resolute: "No matter what it looks like, I want to go and see, anyway, spring ploughing has planted food, and it is good to have old people in the family to guard the house in the middle of the past few months, and it doesn't matter if a few strong laborers of my family go to Nanhe City, if it doesn't work, it will come back when the time comes, and it will not affect anything." ”

When Village Chief Li heard this, he was also a little moved, and he didn't delay anything to go and see, which really made him excited.

"Why don't I go with you too?" He thought it would be a good thing to go and see it.

Several clan elders sitting on the side were also moved, if Nanhe City was really what Lin Qingdai said, wouldn't it be an opportunity to go now, anyway, there was no need to move the family over, and farming on both sides would not delay things, if you have a foothold in Nanshe City, it will be okay to move in the future.

Lin Qingdai saw that everyone was looking at her expectantly, and knew that everyone wanted to hear her.

Thinking of the situation on the other side of Nanhe City, it must be good if someone goes to cultivate the land, the land on the other side of Nanhe City is relatively flat and the land is fertile, which is not comparable to Huaihua Village.

The problem that Nanhe City is facing now is that there is no one to cultivate the land, many villages are out of place, and it is really a pity that the land is empty and grass grows, if someone can go over to farm, it is also a good thing.

After looking around, he said: "If you are willing to go, I will write a letter of recommendation together, and go directly to Lord Qin, the prefect of Nanhe City, he is my good friend and a good official who is honest and honest, you go over there, I believe you can live well." ”

Hearing Lin Qingdai say this, the people in the village were all ready to move.

Village Chief Li is also a bold person, and said, "Go!" We'll all go, but we'll have to see what happens over there if we don't stay, and if it's not as good as our village, it's not appropriate for us to go. ”
