Lin Xiaoman was a little embarrassed, and he knew why he wanted to invite this meal, so he didn't refuse, it would be good to sell him more sauerkraut in winter, pork sauerkraut blood sausage pot, which was hot and hot in winter.

After the arrangement, Lin Xiaoman left first.

Everyone at the table was gossiping and ordering, Lin Erhu listened, it was either shredded potatoes with pepper or scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which was the simplest dish in his house.

When these people finished ordering, they added a few more meat dishes.

When the dishes came up, a big table was set up, and they didn't order a few dishes, and the guy said that the shopkeeper added them.

Lin Erhu glanced outside, and just saw the shopkeeper waving at him.

Lin Erhu didn't know much about the vegetables sold at home, but he had seen the shopkeeper go to the village to collect the vegetables, so he also nodded at him, indicating that he received his affection, and made the shopkeeper happy.

The wine and food were full, and the shopkeeper also sent a sour plum soup with ice cubes, Lin Erhu took two sips, and his classmates and friends each drank several bowls.

Knowing that it was Lin Xiaoman who settled the account, several people thanked Lin Erhu, making Lin Erhu more face-saving.

Coming out of Songhe Tower, he saw two carriages parked outside the door, Lin Erhu recognized that it was the official of the county government who drove the car, one of them was surnamed Shi and had only seen him a few times, and the other was the uncle of Hedong Village who had just arrived at the county government called Lin Dali.

He was originally just a farmer in the village, and his parents died when he was a child, and the land he left behind was occupied by his uncles, and he refused to return it to him when he grew up.

He can only do short-term work for people everywhere, he came to Lin Xiaoman's house to do short-term work a few times before, because he is diligent and sweet-mouthed, he was favored by Lu Jin and gave such an errand.

In addition to him, the two women who helped clean up Mrs. Lin before were also arranged by Lu Jin to work in the yamen, and they could get more than 800 taels a month.

And the land occupied by his uncles was also returned after he became an official errand, and he didn't even dare to let him pay for the vegetables grown in the field, so that he didn't do anything for a year, and there were ready-made vegetables to sell, and he hired two vegetable pickers, who only took care of the money every day.

Because of his status as an official, those who work for him don't dare to hit his land, let alone how beautiful it is.

For this reason, the three of them went to Lin Xiaoman's house to give gifts, and in their opinion, they could get such a good errand because of Lin Xiaoman.

Lin Dali beckoned to Lin Erhu, "Erhu, I'll send you back." ”

In addition to Lin Erhu, Mr. Lu and his classmates all lived in the academy and were brought by Lu Fuzi to take the college examination.

The academy is in the city, but it is still a long way from here, and it is better to have a carriage to sit in.

Everyone got into the car and asked if Lin Erhu's carriage was his.

Lin Erhu shook his head, "My family only has a donkey cart, no carriage, Uncle Dali and Uncle Shi are both officials of the county government, and the carriage should be from the county government." ”

Lin Dali, who was driving the car outside, laughed, "It was Brother Qingshu who heard that you were eating at Songhe Tower, and asked us to come and pick us up, saying that you are all the future pillars of the country, and you must be sent back safely." ”

Although he said this, the scholars sitting in the car were not stupid, only Lin Erhu was familiar with them in this car, and it was clear who the car was picking up, and they knew that they had borrowed light from Lin Erhu.

can make friends with the people in the county government, Lin Erhu's family is not like an ordinary farmer.

Lin Dali and Shi Guan sent Lin Erhu back to the courtyard where the fourth grandmother lived, and drove Mr. Lu and others to the academy again.

Lin Erhu stood in place and waved goodbye to everyone, until the carriage was far away, and then jumped into the courtyard.

"Sister, sister, I'm back."

The fourth grandmother was learning to boil milk tea with Lin Xiaoman, and when she heard Lin Erhu's voice, she turned around and smiled, "Oh, our little champion is back, come and taste the milk tea boiled by the fourth grandmother." ”

As he spoke, he filled a big bowl of milk tea, added a spoonful of red beans boiled with sugar on top, stirred it with a spoon and handed it to Lin Erhu.

Lin Erhu took it and took a sip, the taste was not the same as the milk tea sold there, but it was just as delicious, and the warmth dispelled the chill of the night.

"It's delicious, is the fourth grandmother going to sell milk tea in the future?"

"That's right, how is the fourth grandmother better than your sister?"

Lin Erhu took another sip, "It's delicious, my sister's milk tea is made with strawberry jam and peach sauce, the fourth grandmother doesn't have it here, the first time I drink red beans, it has a different flavor." ”

The fourth grandmother smiled, "Hey, we two tigers are really good at talking, how can I catch up with what your sister does?" Your sister said, get some sweet potato balls later, and add them to it to taste. ”

"Well, the fourth grandmother's business is getting bigger and bigger, and she is a strong woman."

The corners of the fourth grandmother's mouth were praised and grinned, "What is a strong woman?" The fourth grandmother wants to live a good life with your second uncle, and when she marries a daughter-in-law to your second uncle in the future, she can rest assured that she will go there one day. ”

"What did the fourth grandmother say? You have a strong body, you will be able to live a long life, and in the future, the second uncle will have a child, and the fourth grandmother will help bring it. ”

"Mmmm, the fourth grandmother must live well, live a long life, live a long life."

Saying that, tears flashed in the eyes of the fourth grandmother, just last year, their mother and son had a meal without a meal, and they all relied on the village to get by, and now it has only been less than a year, and they are living a rich life.

Now the house that is used as a workshop has also been bought by them, and in the future, this is the home of their mothers, and then to marry a daughter-in-law, she can also hand over the workshop to the daughter-in-law to manage, and the money earned is their little two, she just has to take a hand.

As for the grandchildren, she is happy to have her, and she doesn't force it, with Xiaoman and Erhu here, one day they will lie on the bed and can't move, and they won't look at it.

At the end of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the results of the college examination came out, Lin Erhu not only took the middle school entrance examination, but also ranked among the best, Lin Xiaoman planned to set up a few tables at home in order to celebrate, and invited people who were familiar with the village to eat and drink.

The fourth grandmother and Lin Erlai are back, and Shen Guihua's family is also back.

Shen Guihua's mother-in-law originally saw that this disobedient eldest daughter-in-law was unpleasant in every way, and always wanted to get all the money in her hand to marry her old son and help the widowed second daughter-in-law raise her little grandson.

But Shen Guihua took her eldest son to earn money in the city for most of the year, and I heard that there were two taels of silver a month, and the old lady no longer said that her daughter-in-law was not good, but only thought about how to get two taels of silver a month.

Although Shen Guihua will give her 500 yuan every month, how can this 500 yuan be enough? What she wanted was two taels of silver.

This time, I knew that my daughter-in-law came to Lin Xiaoman's house to eat and drink, and I came with her, and the meaning of the words was that Shen Guihua had loose hands and asked her to give her the silver, and she helped save it, saving that one day the two of them would encounter something and it would be difficult if they couldn't get the silver in their hands.
