38 The Zhang family's gratitude
"Of course I know, I have studied many poems by Li Bai, he is the most powerful poet in the previous dynasty, and our master often tells us about his poems." Zhang Tong was triumphant, "I'll recite "Silent Night Thoughts" to you, the bright moonlight in front of the bed, suspected to be frost on the ground, look up at the bright moon, bow your head and think of your hometown. If you look at your names, they are Qian, Ming, Moon, and Light, and they must be taken from this poem. ”
Lin Qianqian laughed, and after Zhang Tong said this, she only noticed the special feature of their names now.
The lieutenant said that his name was chosen by him, and according to the lieutenant's character, the family's name was taken from a poem, and it is indeed possible.
Zhang Tong asked curiously, "Do you have a brother or sister called Lin Bed?" ”
"Hahaha, that's not true." Lin Qianqian couldn't help laughing.
She secretly thanked the chief in her heart, and thanked her for not helping her name the forest bed.
Zhang Chuliu knew some words, but he could only write them daily, and he didn't understand the poems at all, so he didn't understand what Zhang Tong said.
Zhang Niangzi is a woman, and she doesn't understand it even more.
Lin Mingming and Long Fengfei have never read a book, they don't understand poetry, and naturally they don't understand the jokes of Lin Qianqian and Zhang Tong.
Lin Qianqian looked at the dazed few people and explained: "The first word of the poem Mingyueguang in front of the bed is the word bed, which is the bed we usually sleep, and this word is estimated to be rarely used by people to choose a name. ”
After listening to Lin Qianqian's explanation, a few people understood what they were laughing at just now, and everyone laughed along.
All of a sudden, there was a lot of fun at the dinner table.
This mansion was originally set up here by the yamen to rest for the people who managed the wharf, and it was usually mainly lived by Zhang Chuliu and his subordinates, and Zhang Niangzi and her son lived in the city.
They ate here, and Zhang Chuliu's men inevitably walked around in the courtyard.
Several of his subordinates were surprised when they saw the happy faces of the people eating in the hall.
"Hey, adults usually look serious, and they look down on the poor, how can they get into a fight with a few children dressed in such tatters?"
"Adults are usually very good, but you don't work hard and are always reprimanded by him, so you think adults are very fierce."
"That's it, adults usually treat Zhang Niangzi gently, and they don't have anything to say about his son."
"If my only son had been rescued, I would have expressed my gratitude."
"You pull it, I don't know where your daughter-in-law is, return your son, haha....."
......
After it was completely dark, everyone finally finished dinner.
Lin Qianqian secretly cast appreciative glances at several younger brothers and sisters.
Lin Mingming, although they ate at home like robbers, they were still gentlemen when they ate today, and they didn't lose their manners.
Lin Mingming and the dragon and phoenix fetus looked at the leftovers on the table with pity on their faces.
That chicken is delicious, I don't know how to get it, it tastes cold and silky, the taste is spicy and spicy, and it goes well with rice.
The meat of that fish is not bad, such a big fish, they have never seen it so big.
I don't know what kind of wild vegetable it is, the leaves are so big, and they grow white and tender, and they taste sweet and soft.
.....
They watched and watched, and their saliva couldn't help but flow down again.
They quickly picked up a cup of tea and took a sip of tea.
Well, this tea is also delicious, this is the first time they have drunk tea in their lives, it is fragrant, and there is a faint fragrance after the tea entrance, and even the breath that comes out of the mouth is fragrant.
It's a shame that I didn't finish all the delicious things.
I'm afraid that they won't have the opportunity to eat such a meal in their lives.
It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity.
They had already eaten a lot of mutton at noon, and when they were about to leave the city just now, they had eaten a bowl of noodles, and they didn't feel hungry in the first place.
They had deliberately slowed down their pace to eat, hoping that the contents of their stomachs would be digested quickly so that they could eat more.
However, their stomachs were too strong, and they couldn't stuff much food into their stomachs as hard as they could.
The remorse in their hearts.
Lin Qianqian saw that the moon had risen to the middle of the sky, and hurriedly said goodbye: "Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, thank you for your hospitality, it's not early, we really have to go home." ”
Zhang Chuliu took Zhang Niangzi and Zhang Tong to send a few people out.
Zhang Chuliu instructed his three subordinates, "You three, you don't have to patrol the dock in shifts tonight, before you send them back, they must be delivered home safely, there must be no mistakes, understand?" ”
"Yes!" The three men nodded, and immediately stepped forward to help Lin Qianqian and them carry bags and buckets.
They robbed them in front of Lin, but they couldn't grab them, so they left it to them.
Zhang Niangzi took Lin Qianqian's hand and said mysteriously: "Take this purse, open it when you go home." ”
Lin Qianqian vaguely understood what was inside, and she hurriedly excused herself.
Who knew that Zhang Niangzi was a fast man, and after stuffing her purse, she pulled Zhang Chuliu and her son back to the yard and immediately closed the courtyard door.
Lin Qianqian: .....
She smiled helplessly and said to a few men: "Then bother a few big brothers to send us back." ”
The mountain road back is about two teas, although it is not far, but the night is dark and the wind is high, even if there are no bad people to rob, I am afraid of wild beasts, and it is safer to follow a few men around.
Several men are also people from poor backgrounds, and they are familiar with several villages near Dachun County, and one man also knows the chief of Quxi Village.
"He is an honest man, he has been a lieutenant governor all his life, and he heard that he is very fair and willing to do things for the village, unlike the lieutenant chiefs of other villages, who are perfunctory and want to make money from the villagers. I heard that he has a grandson who is studying at Yichun College in the county, and he is very appreciated by his master. ”
"The lieutenant is our second grandfather, my father's own uncle, he is really a good person, and he always finds ways to help the lonely and widowed elderly people in the village."
"Alas, by the way, is there a man named Lin Shanze in your village, I heard that he often goes in and out of the alley of my house, and I heard those women say that he seems to be on good terms with Widow Fang, I don't know if it's true?"
"Hey, you said you, what are you doing with the children? Be careful to go back and the adults will smoke you to death. A man next to him knocked him with a chestnut.
The gossipy man immediately laughed embarrassedly.
Lin Qianqian originally wanted to ask about Lin Shanze, but now that she is in ancient times, she is a girl who has not gone out, and it is really embarrassing to ask who is good with whom, so she has to give up.
After two teas, a group of people laughed while walking, and soon arrived at the entrance of Quxi Village.
At this moment, the village is already darkly lit, and only occasionally one or two houses are dimly lit.
The noisy village during the day is now quiet.
After arriving at the entrance of the village, Lin Qianqian hurriedly said to a few men: "A few big brothers, just send it here, our home is at the end of the village, we can go back by ourselves." ”
They still have to hurry back, and it is estimated that it is late at night when they return to Dachun County.
She doesn't want to delay other people's time anymore.
Several men waved their hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
When a few people excused themselves, Daddy Lin's voice suddenly came from under the dark banyan tree: "Big girl, are you back?" ”
Lin Qian looked up and saw that Father Lin and Aunt Lin were holding a hoe and walking towards them quickly.
There is a moon in the sky tonight, but the moonlight is not bright.
Father Lin and Aunt Lin were originally sitting under the big banyan tree, shaded by the huge shade, so a group of people were stunned that no one found them.
Lin Qian looked at the posture of Father Lin and Aunt Lin before, and knew that they must be worried that they would return late, so he picked them up at the entrance of the village.
Lin Qianqian suddenly felt warm in his heart.
