Xiao Qingyu, who heard the sound of the carriage, rushed out of the warm hall with the charcoal stove burning, and ran to the steps of the west door to look around.
When Lin Wanwan got out of the carriage, little Qingyu rushed into her arms like a cannonball. Lin Wanwan picked up little Qingyu and spun around twice, making her laugh, then she held her in her hand and kissed her red face.
After a few mouthfuls of her little face, she asked, "Xiao Qingyu, do you miss your mother? Your mother misses you so much."
Xiao Qingyu rested her head on Lin Wanwan's neck, hugged her and said softly: "I miss my mother too."
Lin Wanwan happily carried little Qingyu into the main room, followed by Yun Shang, who quickly stepped forward to help Lin Wanwan take off her cloak and hang it up.
Huanong stood around, looking at Lin Wanwan, and blurted out: "My wife, she got a lot of trouble when she went out."
Lin Wanwan held Xiao Qingyu in one hand, touched her face with the other, and asked, "Ah, is it dark?"
Yun Shang put down her cloak, came over with a bowl of cherry cheese cheese and said with a smile: "Madam, don't listen to Huanong's nonsense, you are still as white as snow."
Huanong smiled naively and said, "Ah, yes, it's dark, but it's still very white."
Xiao Qingyu raised her head and stared at Lin Wanwan's face, looked at it closely for a while, and concluded: "My mother is white, not black."
Lin Wanwan smiled and kissed Little Qingyu again: "Our little Qingyu still has the sweetest mouth. Mother has brought you a lot of delicious food, do you want to take a look at it now?"
Xiao Qingyu clapped her hands and said: "Okay, okay, what did mother bring me? Chocolate?"
Lin Wanwan laughed and said, "You only think about chocolate? Then let mother take a look at your little teeth. If they are not broken, I will give you chocolate."
When Xiao Qingyu heard this, she opened her mouth wide and showed Lin Wanwan her millet teeth.
Lin Wanwan observed and saw no black spots, and said with a smile: "Well, that's good. It seems that you brushed your teeth well even though mother was not here. Then I will reward you with a chocolate today. Kunlun, bring the big box in."
Kunlun could understand the word "Kunlun", and after hearing the words, he tacitly placed the wooden box he was carrying in the center of the main room.
Lin Wanwan put down Xiao Qingyu, took out the key, opened the wooden box, and took out fruit and a jar of Lindt chocolate balls that had been packaged. Xiao Qingyu happily grabbed the glass jar, raised her head and asked Lin Wanwan: "Mom, can I go find Sister Da Ya?"
They?"
Lin Wanwan smiled: "Go ahead."
The little guy rushed out the door happily. Yun Shang quickly caught up with her, put a cloak on her, and sighed: "Slow down, little lady, don't fall."
Lin Wanwan smiled as she watched them leave the yard, then turned around and carried the box into the study, instructing Huanong and Kunlun to guard the door and no one was allowed to open it.
After entering the study, Lin Wanwan opened the space-time door and returned to the modern small villa. She quickly turned on the computer and began to look up information about its mountain weir.
It took Lin Wanwan more than two hours to organize and summarize the information on Shanyan, write down the key points in a blank folding book in regular script, and then return to the Tang Dynasty.
The hall was already bustling with the sounds of children playing. It was little Qingyu who was greeting her friends.
Lin Wanwan was not in a hurry to send this folded letter full of practical information to Xiao Chong. Anyway, it would take at least three years to repair the weir, so there was plenty of time.
When she opened the door to the study room, Xiao Qingyu immediately raised her head when she heard the movement and raised a big smile at her: "Mother, please read your book carefully! Aunt Huanong said you were busy and wouldn't let me in.
I'm quarreling with you, I'm very good and I didn't make any noise."
Lin Wanwan praised: "Well, my little Qingyu is the most well-behaved."
"Mother, mother, can you tell me a story? I also want to hear the story of Sun Wukong."
Lin Wanwan thought about it and thought that it would be okay anyway, so she agreed: "Okay, then you all sit down and I will talk a bit."
"Oh! You can listen to Sun Wukong!"
The three children immediately sat down on a low beech bed, swaying their calves, and stared at Lin Wanwan intently. The latter began to tell stories in a measured tone. She had no impatience about mixing with children, because
These children are so obedient.
Who doesn’t love cute and obedient children?
While telling the story, the voices of Patriarch Lin and Lin Mengbo appeared outside the door.
Lin Wanwan said: "Then let's stop talking about it today. Let's talk about it next time."
Little Qingyu reluctantly asked: "Mom, why can Tang Monk be Sun Wukong's master if he is so incompetent?"
Lin Wanwan touched her little head and said, "Mom, I'll tell you when I go to bed at night. Now you go and play with Daya and Little Crab."
"Wan Niang, are you lecturing the children?" Patriarch Lin asked with a smile as he entered the door.
Lin Wanwan stood up to greet them and replied: "Tell some short stories to pass the time. Uncle Patriarch, please sit down. Huanong, pour two bowls of tea for Uncle Patriarch and Brother Meng Bo."
"Here."
Patriarch Lin did not greet Lin Wanwan politely. After a brief greeting, he directly informed her of his intention.
The matter is still related to Xiao Chong, because regarding the mountain weir, everyone will have their turn to serve. It is already the beginning of spring when the people in Linjiazhuang will go to serve, and Li Zheng wants to inform the people under his charge in advance.
If you are willing to work hard, you can work hard for twenty days. If you are not willing to work hard, you must prepare the money and silk as soon as possible to pay for the corvee.
Lin Wanwan was a female, so she did not have to do hard labor and had to pay three feet of silk every day. Not only did Lin Wanwan often buy silk and cloth in the modern textile city, but she also hoarded a lot of them in the market of the Tang Dynasty.
These are all hard currencies, and they must be prepared in the warehouse to prepare for emergencies. When Patriarch Lin said this, there was certainly no problem on her side: "Okay, I understand the Patriarch. Other people in the clan who want to serve, but
Do you plan to go by yourself, or pay for it?"
Lin Mengbo replied: "In the past, we had to serve ourselves every time during the slack season. We didn't have the spare money to pay for the labor. According to the past practice, it was said to be twenty days of labor, but in fact it took three or forty days each time. I don't know.
What kind of regulations will Xiao Ming Mansion have this year?"
After finishing speaking, Lin Mengbo looked at Lin Wanwan, obviously thinking that she should know some inside information.
Lin Wanwan then told the news she heard in the tea shop in Xiaoxi Town: "This time the county government is rich and will not do the hard labor anymore. I heard from people in Xiaoxi Town that after completing the tasks stipulated by the court,
After twenty days of hard labor, if you still have time, you can continue to work, and you can receive twenty coins from the county government every day."
Lin Mengbo turned his head and looked at Patriarch Lin: "Uncle Patriarch, the news about Wan Niang is the same as what Elder He Qi said. Is it true? Is there really money for the corvee this time?"
Patriarch Lin took a sip of tea and thought about it for a while before saying, "Xiao Mingfu doesn't look like someone who talks nonsense."
Even so, the two of them still felt unsure and their expressions were gloomy.
Lin Wanwan said a good word for Xiao Chong: "Xiao Chong is a good official and has no intention of collecting money. Building the weir will be of great benefit to Luan County."
Lin Mengbo laughed and said: "We are just people who make a living by fishing in the sea. It is not our turn to worry about such important matters that are beneficial or not. We just have to take care of our own lives."
