Chapter 121: The Village
Everyone in the village knows that Lin Xiaotong has now climbed the high branches, and the matter of Lin Qingdai's free clinic at the city gate has long spread all over the city, and even the people of Linjia Village have gone to let Lin Qingdai be cured.
It can be said that the current Lin Qingdai is highly respected in Linjia Village.
When Lin Chaihu heard that Lin Qingdai and Lin Xiaotong were back, he hurried over.
He knows better than anyone in the village that the two of them are not the same now, and they can't be treated like before, and they still have to do enough to understand what should be done.
It's just that as soon as I arrived, I felt that something was wrong, and I saw that everyone in the village was smiling, Lin Xiaotong and another child were distributing things, and the people in the village who came to see the excitement had each other, and each one was different.
"What is this?" He looked at Lin Qingdai puzzled and asked.
Lin Xiaotong saw Lin Chaihu and stepped forward to greet him with a smile: "Uncle Lin." ”
Lin Chaihu pointed to the carriage and pointed to everyone again: "This is?" ”
After studying in the academy for so long, Lin Xiaotong is no longer the timid child he used to be.
Lin Xiaotong has changed a lot during this time, especially after being taken care of by Concubine De, he is a little taller, not to mention, the whole person no longer looks malnourished like before.
People rely on clothes, Lin Xiaotong is now in charge of most of the dressing, and the clothes on his body are all excellent materials, which can be described as judging the two of them as if they were the same as before.
During this time, many people in Linjia Village were talking about the two sisters and brothers.
Especially Lin Qingdai is at the gate of the city, everyone only needs to go out and say a word now, it is a person from Linjia Village, if others ask, where is Linjia Village!
Everyone only needs to say one thing, it is the home of Dr. Lin at the gate of the city, and others will show a look of admiration, so to speak, Lin Qingdai has added glory to Linjia Village.
Not only did it add glory, but it also allowed the people of Linjia Village to go out and straighten their waists.
And the news that Lin Xiaotong is now the righteous son of Concubine Degui, not many people know about it, and Lin Chai Hu did not come back to say that he didn't want the people in the village to affect the lives of Lin Xiaotong and Lin Qingdai.
In the past, everyone took care of Lin Xiaotong, firstly, because Lin Xiaotong was pitiful, and secondly, when Lin Xiaotong's father was still there, he helped a lot of people in the village, all of whom were members of the Lin family, so they couldn't watch the children starving.
Lin Chai Hu was very relieved that Lin Xiaotong still remembered to go back to the village and remembered everyone.
"Good boy! It's good to come back, how can you still bring things. ”
Lin Xiaotong smiled innocently: "Yes, if it weren't for everyone taking care of me, I'm afraid that my life would have been gone, and I came back today to see everyone, in fact, I should have come back a long time ago, but my sister has been very busy, and I am also studying in the academy, so I didn't find a chance." ”
Lin Qingdai stood aside, looking at Lin Xiaotong with satisfaction, look, this is my brother, how nice to speak!
Taking advantage of the time between Lin Chaihu and Lin Xiaotong talking, she returned to the carriage and took down the things she bought for Lin Chaihu, and put the things next to Lin Chaihu with Aunt Fang.
Lin Chaihu was at a loss again: "Qingdai, what are you?" ”
Lin Qingdai said with a smile: "I'm giving you a gift, thank you for helping me take care of the old yard before, and thank you for your help." ”
She doesn't have deep feelings for other people in the village, when she was sold, the villagers just stood by and watched, not complaining about the villagers, but they felt that they had not crossed paths for so many years, and they couldn't talk about deep feelings.
In the depths of his memory, the original owner was only grateful to Lin Chaihu alone.
Lin Chai Hu waved his hand again and again and said: "You can't ask for it, you have already sent enough, I'll just accept the child's." ”
Lin Qingdai was unwilling, so she pretended to be angry: "Uncle looks down on what I sent?" ”
"No, Qingdai, don't get me wrong, I don't look down on what you sent, I just feel that I can't accept your things." Lin Chaihu didn't know how to answer for a while.
Why are you suddenly the stupidest?
After complaining about himself in his heart for a while, he looked at Lin Qingdai seriously and said: "I should help your sister and brother, and I should also help you see the old yard, what your father entrusted to me at the beginning, I must do it, when your father was there, he was kind to the people in the village, and everyone helped your brother for this reason, we all know the things you did in the city, to speak from the heart, Uncle wants to thank you, thank you for making our Linjia Village raise our eyebrows." ”
In the past, Linjia Village was not outstanding, and it didn't happen to be looked up to or admired by everyone.
It was Lin Qingdai's reason that made the people in the village raise their heads one by one.
Lin Qingdai smiled: "These things must be accepted, otherwise I won't recognize that I am from Linjia Village." ”
She knew that Lin Chai Hu was good, but the gift was her heart.
The people around were panicked, and a woman stood up and said, "Village chief, you can accept it, you see that Qingdai has said so, and it is too wrong for you not to accept it." ”
Hearing this, Lin Chai Hu couldn't cry or laugh, turned around and pretended to be angry and reprimanded: "You know that you are foolish." ”
This time, Lin Chai Hu did not refuse again.
Lin Qingdai wanted to clean up the yard, and after leaving for so long, she didn't know what Jiang Chunhua had done with her home at that time.
With the help of Aunt Fang and the people in the village, the yard was quickly cleaned up, and the yard was overgrown with weeds after not coming back for a while, and the valuable furniture at home was gone, but the big piece of bed was still not stolen, so let Qingkong go to the city to buy some bedding and come back, planning to live in the village for two days.
There weren't many fun places nearby, so she wanted to take the child for two days of carefree life.
The people in the village knew that Lin Qingdai came back because she wanted to stay for two days, and many people sent eggs or vegetables.
Lin Chai Hu also specially sent a large piece of bacon, which made Lin Qingdai happy, this bacon was smoked with cypress, and the fragrance made people can't help but drool.
The pots and pans at home are still there, these things are not valuable, and Jiang Chunhua didn't take them away at the beginning.
Lin Xiaotong moved a small stool and sat next to Lin Qingdai, and the two sat under the eaves, looked at the cleaned yard and said, "Sister, we will come back often in the future, okay." ”
Although the palace is good, although the small courtyard is also very good, it is not my own home, this is.
Lin Qingdai pulled Xiao Tong's hand over and put it on her lap, and said with a smile: "If you want to come back, I will often accompany you back, and when you grow up, we will tear down this old house and build a big yard for you, and my sister will watch you marry a wife and have children." ”
Lin Xiaotong's eyes were firm, and he said very seriously: "The house can't be repaired by my sister, it's because I've grown up, and I've made money to build a big house for my sister, and I have to find a good brother-in-law for my sister, if my sister doesn't want to get married, I will protect my sister for the rest of my life." ”
In his heart, Lin Qingdai is the most important person.
Lin Qingdai patted Xiaotong's hand, and said happily: "Little fart child, I want to marry my sister when I am so old, don't talk about my brother-in-law or anything in the future, my sister hasn't found someone she likes yet, if you are looking for it, you have to find a sister who is good for Xiaotong, and you don't want a sister who is not good for Xiaotong." ”
Lin Xiaotong smiled happily and said enthusiastically: "This is what my sister said." ”
Lin Qingdai nodded seriously: "What I said, I definitely don't lie to you, but Xiaotong has something I want to discuss with you." ”
She thought about the matter of Nanhe City, and asked Li Susu and them yesterday, and the charity association raised a few thousand taels of silver, and if she raised a little more, she could go to Nanhe City.
But in her heart, she was more worried about Qin Jingtian.
Lin Xiaotong raised his head, his eyes full of worry: "Sister, do you want to help people?" ”
Lin Qingdai nodded and said: "I actually had selfish intentions when I went to the free clinic before, I thought about making a reputation, and more people came to me for treatment, but I didn't expect the free clinic to become a charity association, but I found that doing these things made me very happy, although I still owed the prince 10,000 taels of silver, but my sister was smart at the beginning, and the house and shop she bought in Anyang City have appreciated, and even if my sister doesn't do things in the future, she can support the two of us by collecting rent." ”
King Duan calculated for her, rented out all the shops and mansions over there, and could collect more than 20 taels of silver a month.
With this money, I don't have to worry about life anymore.
Lin Xiaotong listened carefully, his eyes kept blinking.
Lin Qingdai continued: "I know you are reluctant to let me go for too long, but I think someone should do these things. ”
I wanted to reason with Lin Xiaotong more, but I didn't expect Lin Xiaotong to be particularly understanding: "Sister can do whatever she wants, Xiaotong understands, my godmother said that there are many children as old as me, or younger than me, who are homeless and have no food, my sister helps these people, so that these people have a home and can eat well, Xiaotong is very happy." ”
During the time that Lin Qingdai left, he also asked the pumpkin and knew a lot of things from the pumpkin's mouth that he didn't know before.
Only then did he know that there were more unlucky people in the world, and he was lucky to have Lin Qingdai, a good sister, to shelter him from the wind and rain.
If your sister can help more people in need, that's a good thing, isn't it?
That's why he wants to be an official in the future, to be a good official, a good official who can help everyone.
Lin Qingdai was very pleased, and praised gently: "Our little boy has grown up, I may go to Nanhe City as soon as possible, do you remember how many people I helped in the City God Temple before?" ”
She believed Pumpkin had talked to him.
Lin Xiaotong nodded vigorously and said, "Xiaotong and Aunt Fang have told me, are those people from Nanhe City?" ”
Lin Qingdai said seriously: "Yes, they escaped from the famine, the situation in Nanhe City is not good, the matter in Anyang City has been dealt with, and the Charity Association has raised thousands of taels of silver, I want to go to Nanhe City." ”
Originally, this kind of thing didn't need to be discussed with Lin Xiaotong, but she regarded Lin Xiaotong as her own brother and the most important person in the world.
She also wants to teach Lin Xiaotong the truth of being a human being.
Lin Xiaotong's eyes were full of reluctance, but he still said firmly: "Sister, just do things with peace of mind, don't worry about me, I have Brother Pumpkin to take care of me, as well as Aunt Fang and Godmother, and the people in the academy take care of me too." ”
Lin Qingdai was still very worried about Qin Jingtian in her heart, and when she saw Lin Xiaotong like this, she said in a low voice: "You have been with your godmother during this time, have you heard any news about the prince?" ”
She also noticed it, whether it was Concubine Shide or Qingkong or Duanwang, they were deliberately concealing it, and even Qin Xue'er didn't tell the truth in front of her, which had to make her think more.
It always felt like there were a lot of things she didn't know.
Lin Xiaotong looked at Lin Qingdai in surprise and said, "Sister, doesn't you know?" The prince went to the border to fight! ”
He thought Lin Qingdai knew.
Lin Qingdai looked at Lin Xiaotong in shock: "How do you know?" ”
Lin Xiaotong was very serious: "After my sister left, the Snow Princess came to find the godmother, and it happened to be Mu Xiu that day, and I heard the godmother and the snow princess talk about it, but the snow princess told the godmother not to worry, saying that the prince was very good at the border and won the battle, but sister, didn't the prince write to you?" ”
Usually, when Qin Jingtian was there, Lin Xiaotong called his brother, but Qin Jingtian was not there, so he didn't pay so much attention to it.
Lin Qingdai's heart was half cold, but she didn't think this was a good thing.
The relationship between her and Qin Jingtian, how to say it, although she didn't pierce that layer of window paper, she knew that Qin Jingtian had feelings for her.
Concubine De and Princess Snow behaved too abnormally, as if everyone was avoiding this matter and didn't want her to know about it.
What does this mean? It can only show that Qin Jingtian's situation is not as good as he imagined, and something may happen.
Thinking of this, I can't help but panic.
Qin Jingtian really wants to find out how things are going to be at the border.
Biting her lip and thinking for a while, she said, "Then what did the Snow Princess say to Concubine De?" ”
Lin Xiaotong thought about it carefully, and then said: "Snow Princess also said that the prince is invincible at the border and will be fine. Seeing Lin Qingdai's worried appearance, she comforted sensibly: "Sister, you don't have to worry about the prince, there will be no problem." ”
It is impossible to say that she is not worried, Lin Qingdai is now in turmoil, always worried that Qin Jingtian will encounter danger at the border pass, if it weren't for the danger, Concubine De would have told her a long time ago.
They didn't want to say that Qin Jingtian must have explained it in the middle, and she was convinced of this.
"Xiaotong, in the future, you will knock on the side of the concubine to inquire more about the prince, don't say that your sister wants to inquire, they don't want to tell your sister, they don't want your sister to worry, just pretend not to know about this matter, do you understand what your sister means?" She must have to pretend she didn't know anything.
Concubine De and Princess Snow were both well-intentioned, and she didn't want them to know that she knew about it.
Lin Xiaotong is very sensible: "Sister's meaning, Xiaotong understands it." ”
Aunt Fang came out of the stove room, carried a bowl of soup and said, "The girl has started to eat." ”
In the village for two days, Lin Qingdai took Lin Xiaotong to play around, the mountain behind the village and the small river outside the village have become a playground for the two, although Lin Xiaotong grew up in the village, but he rarely went out in the village before, and Jiang Chunhua did not allow Lin Xiaotong to go alone in this kind of place by the river, so that Lin Xiaotong was shocked and happy when he saw Lin Qingdai catching crabs in the ditch.
Pumpkins are more seen than Lin Xiaotong, and he took Lin Xiaotong to catch small fish and crabs by the river.
Aunt Fang and Lin Qingdai sat on the stone next to them, watching the two children play, and they both showed relieved smiles.
Especially Aunt Fang, the smile on her face has never disappeared.
