Aunt Li was also very happy to see Lin Zhu accept them happily. Lin Zhu took the eggs in the basket to the kitchen and put them away, then returned the basket to Aunt Li, remembering that she should ask Aunt Li for advice on something.
"Aunt Li, I have something to ask you. I want to buy some quilts and clothes. Where should I buy them? I have never bought them myself before." Lin Zhu said a little shyly. After hearing Lin Zhu's question,
Aunt Li was stunned for a moment, but she understood the next moment. It seemed that Lin Zhu's previous situation was not much better than now. However, she also doubted in her heart that since the commonly used things were no longer used, she would still be left with them.
Do you want to save money? What can I buy if I don’t have money? Lin Zhu saw the confusion in Aunt Li’s eyes and immediately explained: "I have saved some money. I don’t need to buy something too good, just an ordinary one. It should be enough."
After hearing this, Aunt Li felt a little relieved. At such a young age, she already knew how to plan for herself. She could still save some private money among those smart and mean people. No matter how much it was, it was considered good. "If you want to buy things, you have to go to town.
Yes, the fifth and tenth are market days, so I will take you there with me then. Well, today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, so the day after tomorrow, I will ask you to go with me then. But we are ten miles away from the town, so early in the morning
You have to hurry. Lin Dazhu's family in the village has an ox cart. If you want to ride on it, you have to pay a penny. Even when you come back, he can also help you bring the things you bought. You are weak and I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the long journey.
, it’s best to go by car. Usually people in the village have to walk for about an hour. It’s faster by car.” Aunt Li introduced Lin Zhu seriously, “Thank you, Aunt Li, be sure to call me when you go.” Looking at Li
The aunt's eyes were filled with gratitude. "When I finish cleaning up the house, I beg you and the village chief to come over as guests. Thank you for taking such good care of me."
Seeing Lin Zhu thanking her all the time, Aunt Li knew that she was sincere from the bottom of her heart and that she was a good child who knew how to repay kindness. Before she met Lin Zhu, she just felt pity for this child who had been abandoned by his parents. She came to take a look.
After a conversation, his mood changed, from pity to love. He looked at Lin Zhu with a warm smile.
"Okay, we will definitely come when the time comes. You will also visit our house often in the future. I have two sons and two daughters at home. The younger daughter is the same age as you. You will definitely be able to play together." Aunt Li happily agreed.
After receiving Lin Zhu's invitation, she introduced her family members. Aunt Li and village chief Lin Changqing have four children, two sons, two daughters. The eldest son, Lin Hongwen, is twenty years old this year. He is married and is a villager in the neighboring village of Xiaoliuzhuang.
The eldest daughter is Liu Qiucui, who is 18 years old this year. She has been married for two years. The second son, Lin Hongyuan, is 17 years old. He is already engaged and plans to get married at the end of the year. The woman is from Aunt Li’s natal village. The eldest daughter, Lin Youqing, is 12 years old. The second daughter, Lin Ruyu, is eight years old.
, is the same age as Lin Zhu, and because of this Aunt Li has special pity for Lin Zhu.
Aunt Li talked to Lin Zhu for a while, then stood up and left. When leaving, she repeatedly told Lin Zhu to close the door and pay attention to safety, and agreed to pick her up on the market day.
Village chief Lin Changqing's home is located in the east of the village. It is in a good location. It has five main houses, two side rooms, and a large yard. In the yard, many vegetables are planted, including cabbage, eggplant, cucumber, etc. The west corner
There were also more than a dozen chickens enclosed with fences to prevent the chickens from escaping and eating the vegetables. Aunt Li returned home and saw Lin Changqing sitting on the bench in the yard. She said hello, "Master, I'm back." She put the basket away.
He put it down, washed his hands again, and wiped them dry, then faced Lin Changqing.
"You're back. How did you go over to take a look?" Aunt Li went to Lin Zhu's house at the request of Lin Changqing. When she saw her coming back, she naturally had to ask about the situation carefully. "Well, I went over and took a look and found out that the little girl is very
It’s not easy,” Aunt Li sighed. “At first, I refused to accept the eggs I sent. But in the end, I reluctantly accepted them. When I came back, I also packed two handfuls of vegetables. I’m not someone who likes to take advantage.”
"How is your health? I heard that I had a serious illness two years ago and I'm about to die."
"I'm cured, but I look a little weak. I'm too thin. I'm the same age as our Xiaoyu, and I'm more than half a head shorter than Xiaoyu. It seems that I've suffered a lot. I don't have anything decent at home.
Their clothes are also in tatters." Aunt Li felt sorry for Lin Zhu, and her tone was a little angry. "According to Manager Lin, they will not come back. This Sister Zhu has settled in our village.
The household registration has been completed, and a person who doesn't even want his parents is already lucky to be alive. Don't be too nice to her just because she is pitiful. She is alone. If she gets entangled, it will not be good for our family.
Good thing." Lin Changqing said nonchalantly.
"I don't think that child can rely on others. Even though he is young, he can already make plans for himself. Wang is such a shrewd person. Sister Zhu can still save private money under her nose. She has a good idea.
No need for others to worry about it." Aunt Li was determined to defend Lin Zhu. "Have you even told you this?" Lin Changqing was a little surprised. Based on his understanding of Manager Lin and Mr. and Mrs. Wang, he didn't seem to be generous. "Oh, actually.
Not much. This child wanted to buy quilts and clothes and asked me where to buy them. In fact, I didn’t believe that she had money in her hand. Maybe she looked at me and told me that she had some money in her hand.
, It’s just not much. I think it would be nice to have a few hundred pennies. From the looks of her house, she lacks more than one or two things. She only buys important things when she has no money. It’s really difficult for such a young child.
Now." Aunt Li lamented that Lin Zhu's life experience was not easy.
"Really? The autumn harvest is about a month away. She now has five acres of land, and she should have more money by then." Lin Changqing also revealed a little bit about Lin Zhu's family background to his wife, letting her know that Lin Zhu still has more money.
The fields and harvests will not make her sad in the future, and it can also reassure her. "Does Sister Zhu know about this?" "You should know that the household registration and land deed were handled by Manager Lin and I together, and they were all written down.
"Her name." "That's good, why don't you really worry about this child?" Aunt Li also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, "But what will happen during the autumn harvest in these places? She is such a little person, so she shouldn't be able to
Can you do these things?"
"You, why are you worrying so much about others? Just remind her to find someone to help her. Either give her money or food, and someone will always help." Lin Changqing was helpless about his wife's overzealousness.
, knows his wife very well. Aunt Li is a generous and enthusiastic person. Many people in the village have been helped by her. Therefore, Lin Changqing has a high reputation in the village as the village head. Part of it is due to the good relationship formed by Aunt Li. Lin Changqing is very satisfied.
Wife, the two of them usually have a good relationship, and the wife manages the house in an orderly manner. Although he doesn't want to have a close relationship with Lin Zhu, it seems like his wife likes the child, so he does it for Aunt Li's sake.
, and will also take care of Lin Zhu.
"Well, tell her then. She will listen. She is a well-mannered child. She also said that after she has cleaned up her house in a few days, she will invite us to her house as guests." Aunt Li's attitude towards her husband.
She was very happy, so she told her about Lin Zhu's treat, which also helped her gain a little favor in front of Lin Changqing. Aunt Li, who had been married for many years, could tell that her husband didn't like Lin Zhu very much, but she didn't know why.
"She really told you that, why is it different from what Manager Lin said?" Lin Changqing was a little surprised when he heard Aunt Li's words. Manager Lin had clearly told him that Lin Zhu had been timid and dull since he was a child, and he didn't like to talk.
No, if you live here alone, you will definitely rely on others. Lin Changqing doesn't want to be troublesome, so he doesn't like Lin Zhu. Ever since his wife heard about it and went to visit Lin Zhu, he has been worried that his kind-hearted wife will cause trouble for herself.
When Aunt Li came back and talked about Lin Zhu, he was even more worried that there would be a lot of trouble that he couldn't get rid of. But when he heard his wife praising Lin Zhu, it seemed that she was not talking about the same person as Manager Lin. Lin Changqing still trusted him very much.
His wife's, after all, thinking about it afterwards, Manager Lin never said where they were from before or after, and their origins were unknown, but he left an eight-year-old child here, and even said that they would sever ties and they would not come back.
This village made Lin Changqing very unhappy. As the head of the village, Lin Changqing was very prestigious in the village because he was upright and fair, so he felt very unhappy about leaving Lin Zhu alone in Linjia Village.
.Now it seems that my wife has a good first impression of Lin Zhu, so she is not very repulsive towards Lin Zhu.
It has to be said that Lin Zhu is very lucky. Aunt Li's appearance comes at a good time for her. She has made good friends with an elder who is easy to approach, has a kind temperament, and is the village chief's wife who has some status in the village. It helps her integrate into Linjia Village and this village.
Time is very helpful. Aunt Li can be said to be the first noble person that Lin Zhu came to this world. After talking with Aunt Li, Lin Zhu also liked her very much, so Lin Zhu decided to tidy up his home as soon as possible.
It's time to invite Aunt Li and her family over.
In fact, Lin Zhu had another idea. She wanted to understand the current era through the village chief. She only knew that it was ancient times, but she didn't know which dynasty it was. She also wanted to have a general understanding of people's livelihood and laws. She couldn't be blind.
People live here. Therefore, it is essential to make good friends with the village chief and his family.
Lin Zhu was looking forward to going to the town market the day after tomorrow. Not only would he have to buy some daily necessities, but also some gifts. He would have to visit the village chief and his family before inviting them over as guests. He would also need to prepare some pastries and food for the guests.
, it can’t be too shabby to attract attention, and it can’t be too shabby, making people feel neglected. Lin Zhu thinks that he should also buy two small gifts for Aunt Li’s two daughters, so that Aunt Li will be very happy, Lin Zhu
Thinking happily.
Because she had a good start, Lin Zhu was a little excited. Until she rested at night, she was still thinking about what to buy in the town. She tried to think it through, and the most important thing, if she could buy more without being noticed,
It's better to put things in space.
