The big wolf dog clung to the young lady. When he saw his former immediate boss whom he had not seen for more than three years, he only glanced at her and did not say hello to the falsely relegated boss.
Young Master Liu and the others were happy to see the little Lolita, but they also ignored the big wolf dog Heilong.
Heilong sat next to the little sister's legs, watching his former partner carrying big and small bags, running out of breath, his big round eyes full of smiles.
The handsome guys came running with their luggage, Le Yun's eyes widened: "Are you going to the countryside to help the poor?"
Do you know what the handsome guys are carrying?
Some of them were carrying boxes of oil, some were carrying bags of rice, some were carrying packaged seafood, and there was a handsome guy carrying two boxes stacked on top of each other in one hand, and another in the other hand.
A large plastic basket with a fishing net.
There was a layer of tree chips in the plastic basket, and a dozen big and fat chickens were squeezed side by side.
The appearance of these handsome guys clearly reflects the immediate vision of grassroots poverty alleviation.
The faces of the four handsome guys turned red.
Lan San explained in embarrassment: "Little beauty, these rice and grains are the result of cultivating the seeds you researched for the Agricultural Research Institute. There is a sample or finished product every year, and we save it for you.
Argan oil and olive oil are New Year gifts from your foreign friends. We are coming to Jiudao, and we will also go to the paradise to help you bring back a box or two of each.
Your foreign friends also gave you a lot of red wine. The temperature in the capital has been too low these days. We were afraid that the wine would freeze after leaving the cellar, so we didn’t move it.
The few breeding roosters you give to our team have been breeding for the past few years, and they have finally grown to a large scale in the past two years. We will also give you a gift in return. Seafood is a New Year's Day gift from the brothers."
While Lan San was explaining the origin of the luggage and items, the expressions of Yan Shao, Liu Shao and Hei Jiu also changed from embarrassment to expressions of wanting to laugh but trying not to laugh.
To be honest, when they saw the little Loli's expression gradually changing with Lan San's words, they really couldn't help but want to burst into laughter.
If the person opposite had been someone else, they would have laughed out loud.
Little Loli thought they were like helping the poor, but it turned out that the people who really acted to "help the poor" were her friends from the trenches. What kind of mood do you think Little Loli was feeling at this moment?
Don’t ask how the little Loli feels now!
Ask means speechless.
The foreigners still send her gifts every year when she goes to do research, and they take great pains to maintain the bridge of friendship.
With an expressionless face, she asked: "Which trench did the gift come from?"
Lan San suppressed his laughter and said with a serious face: "Your handsome young friend and several old friends are all involved."
"Hey, forget it, no matter who sent it first, just keep it, send it to the west, and by the way, help send the basket of chickens to the backyard of my south building." What can Le Yun say? Take it all as ordered.
The gifts given by foreigners will have to be repaid in the future.
Fortunately, it is relatively simple to repay the gift to foreigners. Next year, I will take some time to go to Europe, dig some truffles, and make a few bottles of truffle sauce for each family.
In the same way, gifts from handsome guys should be reciprocated, and you should wait for the right time before giving them medicinal food.
The little loli thinks openly and doesn't waste her brain cells on gifts.
The little loli didn't mind the gifts they sent, so Lan San felt relieved and quickly sent the large boxes and bags he was carrying to the food warehouse in the north building of Lejia.
Yi Laoyan was sitting next to the kotatsu, staring at the handsome young men coming in one by one carrying boxes of large and small items. When the little girl didn't come back, the handsome men would bring some gifts when they came, but it didn't look like this.
You are so enthusiastic, don't treat the difference too obviously.
The handsome guys didn't know that two old men were secretly complaining about them. After putting down their things, they ran out and carried them back and forth four or five times before finally unloading the goods. On the last trip, they each picked up one or two items, as well as their own backpacks.
In order to make reasonable use of the space in the refrigerator room, the little Loli also went into the refrigerator room to direct and arrange which items should be placed where so that they can be easily retrieved when needed.
When the handsome guys put the last items into the refrigerator room, she went to the backyard of the south building, closed the backyard door, carried the plastic basket into the pig and cattle stall, put it out, and spread corn and millet, letting the chickens find it on their own.
Food, activities.
The basket of chickens given by the handsome guys in return included three roosters and nine hens, each with a big crest and thick feet, a tall and strong body, and colorful feathers. At first glance, they were carefully selected breeder chickens.
After observing the chickens, Mr. Le decided to tell his father and Aunt Feng to keep a few as breeder chickens and cross-breed them with his own chickens to ensure that the excellent genes of certain chickens continue.
After moving their luggage, the four handsome boys took their luggage to the second floor of the north building of Lejia. The four of them lived in two rooms opposite the little Lolita's bookstore.
After putting away their personal luggage, the four handsome and upright people went downstairs and sat down next to the kotatsu. Lan San often communicated with Mr. Yan and Lao Yan in the past three years. He talked with the two elders to learn about the latest news in Plum Village.
Yi Laoyan chatted with the young people in a pleasant manner.
After placing the basket of chickens sent by the handsome guys, Mr. Le Xiao returned to the north building and saw that the time was almost five o'clock, washing and cooking rice.
She paused while measuring the rice. In the past, Handsome Yan was a foodie who ate a lot. After he went to another world and his body was transformed, his appetite would only be bigger than before. According to the capacity of her rice cooker, cooking one pot of rice might not be enough.
eat.
Le Yun sighed and went back to the kitchen on the first floor of the south building to find a larger rice cooker with a larger capacity. After cleaning it, she took it back to the kitchen of the north building to cook.
After washing the rice and putting it in the pot, go into the refrigerator to find a few ribs, chop them up and put them in a ceramic stew pot for bone stew, then stir up the ashes from the pond and make a fire to stew the ribs.
Before five o'clock, the little Lolita arranged for dinner. The handsome guys didn't say it was too early or anything, they asked if they needed help, and they happily waited for dinner.
While Mr. Le was busy at work, many women in Plum Village were also busy boiling water, heating pig food, feeding the pigs, and calling back the chickens and ducks.
The women who were going to Liu Wu's house to have a banquet arranged their livestock, and it was almost half past five, and once again went to Liu Wu's house to have a banquet in small groups.
Grandma Zhou Man and Aunt Pa fed their pigs, chickens and ducks, and hurried to Lejia to help Lele and Grandma Zhou’s house feed the pigs. However, when they arrived, Lele’s little cub had already been fed by Grandma Zhou’s house.
pig.
Xiao Lele did the housework when she got home. She was never squeamish. Grandma Zhou Man and Aunt Zhou Man were happy and distressed. They no longer competed with Xiao Lele for work. After saying a few words to the handsome guys, they hurried to Liu Wu's house.
.
Village Chief Zhou also announced in advance that dinner at Liu Wu's house would be arranged after six o'clock, so that villagers in the same village or neighboring villages would know what to do, arrange their housework early, and consciously find a place to sit at Liu Wu's house.
The villagers are indeed very conscious. They usually arrive at Liu Wu's house before six o'clock and go to the place where the banquet is set to find a seat to sit down.
It's not yet six o'clock, it's already dark, and almost all the villagers who went to Liu Wu's house to have dinner have arrived.
When the weather is cold in winter, traditional rural tables with braziers are used to set up the banquet.
After the guests are seated, the men and women who are responsible for running errands also take action. The men who are in charge of setting the tables and lighting the charcoal fire add more tables when necessary, adding charcoal to each table.
The person in charge of serving dishes also brought the pots to their respective places, and put water in the pots first.
Women are responsible for sending and receiving the dishes and chopsticks. The women carry the cleanly washed dishes and chopsticks in buckets to each venue where the banquet is set, and place bowls, chopsticks, and disposable wine glasses for each table.
The person in charge of the drinks also distributed local sweet potato wine, bottled wine, and drinks to the tables.
The errand boys arranged all the work in place, and Village Chief Zhou personally visited various places where banquets were arranged to determine how many tables there were and where people needed to be moved.
Village Chief Zhou made his rounds and asked the errand boy to add a few more tables. Then he went to the errand boy who was in charge of setting off firecrackers and asked people to set off firecrackers and salutes. He also informed the diners that the banquet was about to start and urged those guests who had not arrived yet.
.
The person in charge of the firecrackers had already connected several plates of thousands of firecrackers together, lit the firecrackers as instructed, and fired a salute at the same time.
A series of salutes and continuous firecrackers resounded throughout the village.
The villagers also heard the message and understood the elegant meaning. Those who had not gone to sit down hurried to Liu Wu's house, and those who were still hanging out at Liu Wu's house also hurriedly took their seats.
When the Liu family fired the salute for the upcoming dinner, the little Loli was heating bamboo tube chicken and braised pork in a steamer. The Liu family had not officially started the dinner yet, and the Le family's dinner was cooked first.
We had hot pot in the evening, with braised pork ribs as the soup base, bamboo tube chicken and braised pork, and other meats and vegetables suitable for shabu-shabu.
We also have dinner in the kitchen, eating pots by the fire in the fire pit, which is warm and cozy.
After the banquet started, Lan San Hei Jiu Liu Shao couldn't stop eating with his chopsticks, and Yan Lao Yan also enjoyed his meal. It's been a long time since he tasted the little girl's cooking skills. Not only has her cooking skills not deteriorated, but she has improved.
feeling.
Young Master Yan didn't say anything and just buried his head in eating.
Heilong was next to the little sister, holding a bowl and eating ribs. Other people's dogs were chewing bones, and his little sister filled half a bowl of ribs for him.
After the village chief Zhou ordered people to fire the salute, he waited for about ten minutes, then went to inspect the various venues where the banquets were set up. He found that there were still people who had not found a seat, so he added tables again.
After all the guests at each seat were seated, Village Chief Zhou went to the kitchen to order the food to be officially served.
The waiters were divided into groups, ordering dishes and delivering rice to the seats they were responsible for.
Afterwards, the salute and firecrackers were fired again to tell the guests that it was time to have dinner, and the gongs and drums team also played mournful music.
After the gun salute, the guests poured wine, rice, drinks, and started the meal.
Village chief Zhou then called Xiaoxian, the filial son of the Liu family, to kowtow to thank the guests at every table setting.
The filial son and filial grandson followed behind Village Chief Zhou and kowtowed from the main hall of the old house, kneeling down and kowtowing once in each place before going to the next place.
After village chief Zhou took the filial sons of the Liu family around and kowtowed, he asked the filial sons and virtuous people to go to dinner as well. He went to sit at the table of Master Lei's gong and drum troupe.
Liu Wu's house is a bit far away from Le's house, but the noise can still be heard.
Even if the handsome guys and Yanlao Yanlao at Lejia ate slowly, they only took half an hour to finish the meal, and all of them had red faces after eating.
The handsome guy Yan Shaolan was also super smart and didn't let the little loli wash the dishes. They were responsible for washing the pots and dishes and tidying up the kitchen.
Little classmate Le filled a bowl of rice, took out the chicken in a bamboo tube left for Heilong, and watched him eat.
The little sister returned home and became the happiest dog. Heilong finished eating a chicken in a bamboo tube. After finishing the meal, he sent the bowl to the fake immortal. He waited for his former boss to help him clean the bowl before sending it upstairs.
superior.
After dinner, the handsome guys covered up the embers in the fire pit, carried the teapots to the Le family main room, sat by the kotatsu, and lived a happy life of sipping tea around the stove.
Student Le Xiao sat idle for ten minutes, then went upstairs to find some clean clothes, took a shower, changed into a new set of clothes, and prepared in advance to go to Liu Wu's house.
The black dragon followed the young lady every step of the way.
Yi Laoyan looked at the little girl. The little girl changed into a brown waist-length dress with large lute sleeves and a blue half-sleeved double-breasted robe. She still tied her eyebrows and wiped her forehead with a silver hair crown.
The hair crown is inlaid with blue, orange, gold and other precious stones.
The embroidery on the little girl's clothes and the gemstones on her hair crown avoided red and purple colors to show respect for the deceased.
The little girl always respects local customs, which also shows her good cultivation.
After packing up and returning to the main room, Le Yun touched Heilong's head: "When I go to Liu's house later, Heilong will stay at home and look after the house."
The black dragon was not happy. He hung his head and kept rubbing against the young lady's legs.
Le Yun was determined not to be soft-hearted. The Liu family was doing some errands. At night, people would gather in the hall and in front of Liu Wu's old house. There were so many people and the black dragon followed. She couldn't let people give up their seats to the dogs.
The young lady was determined not to let him be a follower, and it was useless for Heilong to act coquettishly, so he obediently accepted the arrangement.
The four handsome guys stared straight at little Loli: "Little Loli, how many bodyguards are you going to bring to Liu's house?"
"Not a single one." She went to Liu Wu's house to ask for any bodyguards.
"Little beauty, you have just come back. This is your first official appearance. You must bring bodyguards. Not to mention four guards with swords, you must bring two at least, so as to show the attitude of the superiors."
Mr. Liu made a friendly suggestion. Little Loli has not shown up in seclusion for three years, and there are a lot of rumors. When Little Loli officially goes to a public event, she must be escorted with a knife. This can not only show that the superiors value her, but also make her known.
His position is as stable as Mount Tai.
Le Yun originally didn't want to bring bodyguards, but after considering the long term, she compromised: "Okay, two at most."
The four handsome guys shouted in unison: "Take me there!"
"I am the most suitable."
Four young men competed to be the little girl's followers. Old Yan's eyes flashed, and the four young men's eyes were bright. They were clearly curious about the details of the funeral in the countryside and wanted to follow her to learn more.
"Brothers, don't argue. Let's talk about the reasons why we must go." Mr. Liu smiled and said why he had to go: "I'm in charge of network information. I have to go. I'll try to remember as many Facebook posts as possible so that I can watch the camera again in the future.
It is easier to distinguish between loyal and traitorous people, which is beneficial to our work."
"I am the captain." Mr. Yan said confidently. He is the captain of the bodyguard. In terms of intimidation, who can compare with him.
Blue three and black nine: "..."
The brothers looked at the captain and Captain Liu, and made a silent compromise. The captain had been out of touch with society for three years, and having more contact with grassroots people would help him quickly integrate into society.
Team Liu is in charge of the Internet, so remembering Facebook is indeed beneficial to work.
They wanted to go to a villager's house with the little Lolita, hoping to gain more knowledge and experience so that they could adapt to similar situations in the future.
Black Nine and Blue Three did not compete with themselves. Yan Shao and Liu Shao happily decided on the candidate, and then went upstairs to change into a black windbreaker and put on special sunglasses.
