Chapter 157: This is a casual gift
Lin Xiaoman knew that when Lu Jin came over, what he saw when he went out was Lu Jin standing in front of the table, asking people to write a gift account.
There was also a long line behind him, with people from the county government in front and people from Hedong Village in the back.
Lin Xiaoman came over and said, "Why is this still a gift account?" Today is just a lively meal, no need to be courteous. ”
Lu Jin smiled: "It's just a little heart." ”
Lin Xiaoman looked at the casual thoughts brought by Lu Jin, a set of four treasures of the study, and a pair of azure jade paperweights, which were worth a lot of money when they looked at it.
That's not a lot of heart.
Lin Erhu happened to come out with his classmates, and when he saw the gift given by Lu Jin, he exclaimed slightly, but was drowned in an even bigger exclamation, "Oh my God, Brother Lin, isn't the county magistrate the one who gave the gift?" Your family is actually familiar with the county magistrate? ”
Lin Erhu puffed his little chest proudly, "That's right, the county magistrate also helped my family farm the land." ”
A few classmates couldn't believe it, although they had heard that the county order was diligent and loved the people, but would they help the people's families farm? It's the first time I've heard of it.
However, thinking that I just heard that the peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, and sweet potatoes that have been very popular around Qingping County recently are all planted by Lin Erhu's family, I can also understand why the county magistrate will help his family farm.
This is all a political achievement, and it is no wonder that he came here in person today and gave such a generous gift.
People who haven't read may not recognize the weight of the gift given by Lu Jin, but they have all studied in the academy for a few years, and they have all seen the four treasures of the good study, but they have never seen a better gift than the county magistrate, but this gift must be worth a thousand gold, right?
I'm so envious!
Not only envied the gift given by the county order, but also envied Lin Erhu's family and the county order, at this time, Lin Erhu's eyes were more important than before.
After Lu Jin wrote the gift account, the people in the county government also began to write the gift account one after another, and the gifts they gave were not as good as Lu Jin's, most of them were this fifty wen and that one hundred wen, but this kind of gift was already considered thick in the village.
After giving the gift, the people of the county government stood next to them, and as long as they followed the gift, they would politely lead people to the courtyard, even if there was only a handful of vegetables with the gift, the smile on their faces did not change.
It can be seen that it is not intended to make the villagers bleed.
After watching for a while, the villagers put their minds at ease, since they came to be happy, they naturally would not come empty-handed, especially most of the people in the village got the benefits of Lin Xiaoman's family, and they planted the land for more than half a year, earning more than they earned in the previous ten years.
In order to have a good relationship with Lin Xiaoman's family, no matter what is good next year, I will also think about my own family, and the gifts given by the villagers of Hedong Village this time are not thin, they are all more than 100 yuan, but it seems that the officials of the county government have less courtesies.
However, one person eats with the whole family, and the food of Xiaoman's family is good, and it is not a loss.
Yao's family also came, and after writing the gift account, Boss Lin shrank behind the crowd and stepped forward embarrassedly, and was dragged out by Yao's arm, "Xiaoman, your uncle also said that he was embarrassed to see you, I dragged him here, so I have to let him accompany you in person today." ”
Lin Xiaoman smiled, "What did the uncle say, the uncle is an elder, how can he slap the uncle in the face in public, since he is here, go in and sit, and the banquet will be held later." ”
Yao's happily 'hey', pulled Lin Boss inside, followed by the two daughters of the big house, and when they saw Lin Xiaoman, the two cousins called sweetly: "Second sister." ”
Lin Xiaoman smiled at them, "Well, let's go in quickly, find a good place to sit, and bring you some real pearls when you go back." ”
The two cousins immediately smiled, "Thank you, second sister." ”
After speaking, he walked into the hospital holding hands. Behind them, Lin Wenyao nodded to Lin Xiaoman reservedly, and Lin Xiaoman also smiled at him.
Suddenly, I heard the official shouting: "Whoever is that, don't run, write the gift account here, yes, just say what about the two of you, the one who takes the bowl, and the one who holds the basin next to it...... The gift account is written here. ”
Lin Xiaoman looked over there and saw two women with raw faces, one holding a basin and the other holding a bowl, sneakily drilling in, but they were blocked by the official messenger.
Lin Xiaoman originally wanted to say that he could eat it without a gift, but the two of them were really embarrassed, thinking that Xu was exiled from the latter batch, and couldn't help but laugh.
When she had a treat, she wanted to invite someone close to her to come over and have a good time, but she didn't expect to come to eat and drink.
However, she didn't want to touch her head on the big day, and if the two of them said something ugly, she went over.
When the two of them saw that they were writing a gift account here, they wanted to get into it, but they didn't think that they were so famous by the officials, and the eyes of all directions swept over.
Let them stand there a little embarrassed, "We just want to be happy, nothing else." ”
"Then why do you take pots and bowls? You can't just want to eat it, right? ”
The woman hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no, how can it?" We just want to join in the fun, this pot...... We are courteous. ”
The two were exiled all the way, and the officials who escorted them were all fierce and vicious, and they had a deep shadow of the officials in their hearts, for fear that they would be beaten again if they couldn't say it well.
If they had known that the official mission would come today, they would not have said that they would have come over to eat and drink.
At this time, in a hurry, Shengzhi said an excuse, and the official looked at the bowls and basins in their hands, his face softened slightly, and he pointed to the place where the ritual account was written on the side, "The ritual account is written there, you can come with me." ”
The two women complained bitterly, but they did not dare to say more, thinking of the children and the old people who had not eaten meat in the family for several days, and almost did not shed tears.
Lin Xiaoman saw that the matter was solved, and he didn't move forward, but he just looked like the two of them were about to cry, and he inevitably felt a little compassion in his heart.
Her family's hired workers eat well, but I have heard others say that there are a few families who live carefully, and only give their hired workers brown rice porridge every day, and the rice grains are pitiful, and some people faint in the field with hunger several times.
These two women looked at each other, and the ones who could come over and eat with their faces open may be those people who were mistreated by the lord's family.
After the two of them left the bowl and bowl as a gift, Lin Xiaoman came over and took the bowl and bowl away, and asked others about the situation of the two women.
Sure enough, as she had guessed, the two of them were working in the homes of the two most popular families in the village, and a few days ago I heard that some of their elderly and children were starving because they had not enough to eat.
Lin Xiaoman sighed, thinking that when they left, return the basin and bowl to them, and then fill them with some food to take back.
Just thinking about it, Qingshu came behind him and said softly: "Miss Xiaoman, the adults said that although the two women did not do it properly, they were also desperate, give them a small lesson, if Miss Xiaoman wants to keep the two, just beat one or two more." ”
Lin Xiaoman was speechless, why did this hired someone to do the work, why did he still look like a palace scheming?
Well, she also understood that although Lu Jin sympathized with the two of them, she didn't want the two of them to treat her as the wronged leader, so it was not a big deal, so she received his kindness.
