Chapter Thirteen Visiting the Village Chief's Home
After eating, he took Hei Dou'er outside for a while. Looking at Hei Dou'er occupying the area around the yard and making marks, Lin Zhu felt it was funny. Hei Dou'er was a little bigger and was jumping around the yard.
Curious about everything, he suddenly ran away and turned to look at Lin Zhu. Seeing that she was not moving, he barked at her twice, then ran back again and circled Lin Zhu as if to please. She was so cute since she woke up in the morning.
The little ones act coquettishly around me and feel very good.
Lin Zhu cleaned the yard first, and Heidouer kept spinning around her feet. He seemed to have recognized Lin Zhu as its owner and loved to cling to her. However, Heidouer was a bit naughty by nature. He not only ran around in the yard, but also went to the vegetable field.
Lin Zhu was making trouble. Afraid that it would trample the vegetables in the vegetable field, Lin Zhu quickly stopped, "Hei Dou'er, come here." Seeing that Hei Dou'er ignored him, Lin Zhu walked over and took it out directly, but Hei Dou'er thought she was
While playing with it, I didn't realize that the owner was already a little angry.
"Heidou'er, you can't play in the vegetable field, did you hear me? I'll be very angry if you make trouble there again." Lin Zhu warned it seriously, but it didn't seem to have much effect. "It seems that it needs to be taught slowly." He thought.
Black Dou'er, whose owner was playing with him, stretched out his pink tongue and licked Lin Zhu's hand holding it, and barked at her twice to please him. Lin Zhu put it on the ground and stretched out his hand to scratch Hei Dou'er's chin.
, seeing that it kept sticking out its little tongue to lick itself, "Humph, there's no need to please me. If you go to make trouble in the vegetable field again, I won't let you go." He stretched out a finger and pressed it against Heidou'er's forehead.
, clicked on it and saw it blinking its small bean eyes. Lin Zhu also laughed at how he could talk to such a little thing and it couldn't understand it.
After cleaning up the yard, Lin Zhu returned to the kitchen, took out the ribs hanging in the well, and chopped them into small pieces with a knife. But to be honest, Lin Zhu's small body was really not suitable for such a thing. The knife was heavy.
It has little strength and is very laborious to chop.
After finally chopping the ribs, I was sweating all over. Because the ribs and meat are difficult to wash with clean water, Lin Zhu washed the rice first and left the rice washing water to prepare the ribs and meat. Soak the ribs in the rice washing water and wash them.
Once, rinse with clean water, and wash the two remaining pieces of meat from yesterday in the same way.
Put water in the pot, boil the water, and blanch the ribs in the boiling water, so that all the blood in the ribs comes out. Put the blanched ribs aside.
Lin Zhu made an appointment with Aunt Li yesterday to go to her house today. Firstly, she went to pick up clothes and purses, and secondly she wanted to ask the village chief about the fields. By the time she had finished blanching the ribs, it was almost time, so Lin Zhu organized himself and planned to go out.
At the village chief's house, she opened the courtyard door and was about to go out. Hei Dou'er ran to her and wanted to go out with her. Because Hei Dou was too small, Lin Zhu didn't want him to go out. "Hei Dou'er, can you stay at home and look after the house?"
Okay, I'll be back in a while." Heidou'er seemed to understand what she said, tilting his head and sitting on the ground without moving. Lin Zhu locked the courtyard door after going out, listened again, and found that there was no movement.
He walked towards the village with confidence.
Walking all the way east, I passed by many houses and found that the houses in the village were not very good, at least they were much worse than those in her house. The yards were only surrounded by fences, and most of them used fence gates. Many of them were gates.
Only a few of the houses made of mud bricks and thatched roofs were built with bricks and tiles. I met many villagers on the road, but most of the villagers had heard of what happened in the courtyard of the village west of the village, but had never seen her in person, so they all looked at her curiously.
Looking at her, Aunt Li took her by their house on the day of the market, so Lin Zhu went directly to the village chief's house. The house of the village chief's house was almost like Lin Zhu's, with bricks and tiles and walls. Villagers with good intentions saw her there
He stood in front of the village chief's house, staying nearby in twos and threes and not leaving.
Lin Zhu knocked on the door and asked, "Is the village chief at home?" After a while, Ruyu's cheerful voice came from the door, "Who is it?" "Xiaoyu, it's me." Lin Zhu was like this when he heard it.
Yu's voice made her somewhat nervous mood relax a little. The village chief had met her and was on good terms with Manager Lin. Lin Zhu was very afraid that the village chief would not sincerely help, although Aunt Li, mother and daughter got along well with her.
That's good, but after all, men and women think differently and look at problems from different angles. If the village chief thinks there is no value in helping her, he may not necessarily stand by and watch.
"Xiao Zhu, it's you who are here. Come in quickly. Just now, my mother was still talking about why you haven't come yet. If you come here a little later, I will go find you." Ruyu let Lin Zhu into the door and closed the courtyard door.
It also shuts the eyes of the villagers who do bad things.
Ruyu held Lin Zhu with one hand and shouted as she walked: "Mom, Xiaozhu is here." Aunt Li, who was sitting in the main room, heard her little daughter's voice and walked out, "Xiaozhu, here she is. Come in quickly." Come in.
Lin Zhu, who arrived at the main room, looked around. There was a table and two chairs facing the door, and four chairs on the left and right sides. However, Aunt Li was the only one there now. "Xiao Zhu, come sit down.
This." Aunt Li asked Lin Zhu to sit on the chair next to her. "Xiaoyu and her eldest brother accompanied his wife back to her parents' home. Her second brother is studying in a book school in the town." Aunt Li explained to Lin Zhu why the family was like this.
There were few people, "You and Xiaoyu, sit here for a while, I'll call Hongwen's father to come out." Aunt Li understood Lin Zhu's purpose, turned around and left the main room.
After a while, footsteps were heard outside the house, and Lin Zhu stood up nervously. Village chief Lin Changqing walked in, looked at Lin Zhu standing there, said nothing, and walked directly to his exclusive chair to sit down without speaking first.
Talking. Aunt Li came over and saw Lin Zhu standing, looking very nervous, so she opened her mouth to help him out, "Hongwen's dad, Xiaozhu has something to ask you, please talk to her carefully." Then she said to Ruyu.
"Xiaoyu, you go find your sister first. I'll ask Xiaozhu to find you later." Ruyu agreed, turned around and went out. Seeing Xiaoyu walking away, she pushed Lin Zhu to the chair and sat down, "You
Sit down and don't be too restrained. If anything happens, let me tell you Uncle Lin." Hearing that Aunt Li asked Lin Zhu to call him uncle, Lin Changqing was a little unhappy. He was about to retort when he met Aunt Li's eyes and said,
He swallowed back the objection that came to his lips and coughed twice unnaturally.
"Uncle Village Chief, I have come to ask you something. Please bear with me if I am rude." Lin Zhu calmed down and decided not to be as close as he was to Aunt Li, but to be more polite. "Well, you
I've also heard some things about it. Manager Lin also said before he left, let me take care of it. If you have anything to say first, if you can help, I will definitely help." The meaning behind the village chief's words was that it was for the sake of Manager Lin.
Lin Zhu felt very funny in his heart that he had just met her on his own account. She left and had tea, let alone Manager Lin, who never came back. Even if he came back, there would be no face to speak of. After all, Lin Changqing could not get anything from him.
What good is it? They are afraid of avoiding her and will not have too much involvement with Lin Changqing. These are just the words of the village chief. "Uncle the village chief has helped me a lot in the past. I have long wanted to come here."
Thank you, I have troubled Aunt Li these past two days." Lin Zhu admitted that the village chief had helped her and accepted his favor, but just got out of the way of Manager Lin. Lin Changqing heard the meaning of her words and couldn't help but look at her.
Taking a look at Lin Zhu, I felt that she didn't look like an eight-year-old child. Her speech was very impeccable, and it was obvious that she didn't want to get involved with Manager Lin and the people behind him, "I have the land deed for five acres of land, but I don't
I know where these fields are and what they are growing, so I came here to ask you." Lin Zhu directly stated her purpose of coming to the village chief.
Seeing Lin Zhu being so direct, Lin Changqing didn't want to embarrass her. "I know this. There are two acres of paddy fields at the east end of the village next to my family's land. Rice is planted there. It will be harvested in the next month. Three acres of paddy fields."
The dry land is right next to your farmyard, at the foot of the small green mountain. I have planted some beans, sorghum and the like, and it is about to be harvested." "These harvests should be mine, right?" Lin Zhu was afraid that the two managers Lin would not leave before they left.
Selling the harvest in the field is not impossible for Wang's character. "It's yours," Lin Changqing answered in the affirmative, knowing that Lin Zhu was not unreasonable. Wang's character was very
They are greedy for cheap. But this time they wanted to leave here and had no time to deal with the fields. All the harvests of the previous eight years were pocketed by them.
Lin Zhu was relieved, "Thank you, village chief, but I don't know how to harvest autumn. What should I do then?" "Actually, I told you, Aunt Li, about this a few days ago. You, a child, can't do it."
It’s normal to understand these things, and you have a lot of fields. Even if you understand, this farm work is not something you can do. What I mean is that if you ask for help, there are day laborers during the autumn harvest. You can ask those people. In the past,
It’s thirty cents per person per day, because the farm work is busy for only a few days, so the wages are a bit expensive.” Lin Changqing expressed his opinion directly. “On your land, it will only take three people to work it for two days.”
"Uncle Lin, can you help me find part-time workers? I don't know anyone in the village." From the conversation with Lin Changqing, Lin Zhu gradually discovered that Lin Changqing was an upright person and what he said was very pertinent.
He changed his mind about him and even changed his title. Of course Lin Changqing noticed this change. He also saw that Lin Zhu was not ignorant of the world like ordinary children. Now he was able to take charge of his own affairs. He was very decisive in handling things.
She was not sloppy at all. From her words, it was clear that she had great trust in her family. "Okay, I will help you find it when the time comes." Lin Changqing agreed to her simply.
Seeing that the two of them had basically reached an agreement, Aunt Li wanted to take Lin Zhu out to get the clothes and purse she had prepared. Ruyu had been talking about playing with Lin Zhu since yesterday, so it was time for the two of them to go play.
Lin Zhu also remembered about the clothes and purse, but she wanted to invite the village chief's family to her home for dinner today. So she said to Lin Changqing, "Uncle Lin, I have nothing to express my gratitude for troublesome things for you. I want to invite you today."
I went to my house for dinner with my aunt, and Xiaoyu and sister Youqing also went together."
