Chapter 132 I'll be taking up my post at the yamen tomorrow
Until sunset,
Lin Erzhu slowly drove the oxcart back home.
Upon entering,
Then they saw Lin Qingshan sitting in the courtyard.
He had a bewildered look on his face.
She complained, feeling wronged:
"Father, how could you treat your son like this?"
You and the third brother drove off in the carriage and disappeared from sight.
They left me alone to drive that old oxcart.
I felt so wronged.
As she spoke, she pursed her lips.
He looked exactly like a child who had suffered a great injustice.
Lin Qingshan listened,
He laughed out loud, a little embarrassed.
"Erzhu, who told you to be so slow?"
"I just wanted to bring Daya and Erya back as soon as possible."
Lin Erzhu said angrily:
"Then you can't run that fast."
She doesn't even want her son anymore!
When everyone heard his childish words,
They couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Wang Xiuxiu said with a smile:
"Erzhu, your father is just joking with you."
"Don't be angry anymore."
Lin Erzhu pouted and muttered:
"Wife, I'm not angry."
I'm just scared.
You don't know,
I was very anxious the whole way.
The oxcart was carrying such a large load of goods.
They walked slowly.
I'm afraid some bad guys will kidnap me.
Wang Xiuxiu rolled her eyes at him and said reproachfully:
"You're just a coward."
"Where do so many bad people come from in broad daylight?"
Lin Erzhu frowned and pouted:
"That's hard to say. What if we really run into it?"
Wouldn't it be a waste to leave all this stuff in one truck?
Hearing this from the side, Lin Qingshan couldn't help but laugh and scold:
"You brat, you're always thinking nonsense."
It's not as exaggerated as you say.
I just wanted to see just how fast a horse-drawn carriage could go!
Instead, you're here complaining.
Okay, okay.
"Dad won't leave you behind anymore."
Upon hearing this,
Another burst of hearty laughter followed.
Lin Yunlan glanced at the large truckload of fruits and vegetables.
He glanced at the sky again and said:
"Father, Second Brother"
Why don't we put all these fruits and vegetables into the cellar first?
Otherwise, I'm afraid these things won't last long before they spoil.
Lin Qingshan frowned, pondered for a moment, and said:
"Yunlan is right, Erzhu,"
"Stop dawdling, let's hurry up and move things."
Lin Erzhu responded:
"Okay, Dad, I'll start moving it right away."
Then, everyone sprang into action.
Lin Erzhu picked up a large basket of vegetables.
He strode towards the cellar.
Lin Qingshan also carried a bag of melons and fruits and followed closely behind.
Wang Xiuxiu was quickly sorting the items beside the car.
Pick out the slightly damaged ones and set them aside.
Lu Qingqing smiled and said to Daya, Erya, and Shuang'er:
"Children,
You should also go and see what you want to eat.
"Take out whatever you want to eat first."
Upon hearing this, Daya's eyes immediately lit up.
I couldn't wait to run to the pile of vegetables and fruits.
Carefully selecting, he muttered to himself:
"Auntie, I want to eat apples and cucumbers."
Er Ya wasn't going to be outdone, and ran after her.
The little hands moved among the various fruits and vegetables.
Finally, he picked up a tomato, and said with a grin:
"Auntie, I want to eat this."
Big, red tomatoes must taste delicious.
Shuang'er stood to the side, tilting her head and thinking for a moment.
Only then did they slowly walk over.
Gently pick up a bunch of grapes and a carrot.
whispering:
"Mom, I want to eat grapes and carrots."
Lu Qingqing looked at the three children,
She smiled gently.
"Okay, then take these for now."
I'll wash it clean and give it to you to eat in a bit."
The children laughed happily upon hearing this.
Holding the fruits and vegetables they had chosen,
Surrounding Lu Qingqing, they looked satisfied and happy.
In a short while,
The entire truckload of stuff was unloaded by everyone.
All that's left is a large basket of fat rabbits.
Lin Qingshan looked at the basket on his back and said:
"My dear,
What are we going to do with this huge basket of rabbits?
We can't finish it in a day or two.
These tiny beans are really amazing!
"They managed to catch so many fat rabbits!"
Lin Erzhu stepped forward.
He glanced at the rabbit in the basket and said with a smile:
"Father, why don't we take them to the market and sell them?"
"See if we can exchange some money?"
Wang Xiuxiu said from the side:
"But it's already dark now."
"Will it be spoiled if I sell it tomorrow?"
Lu Qingqing pondered for a moment, then said:
"father,
Or we could give a few to our relatives and neighbors.
Let everyone try it out.
We'll just braise the rest ourselves.
Tomorrow I'll send some to the academy for Stone and the other two.
Also, take some with Master Zhang.
Lin Qingshan said with a smile:
"Okay, we'll do as you say, Qingqing."
Let's start by counting them.
Let's see how many there are in total.
A crowd gathered around, and Lin Erzhu squatted down.
They started counting one by one: "One, two, three..."
Daya called out anxiously from the side:
"Dad, count slowly, don't miscount."
Lin Erzhu said without looking up:
"Okay, okay, honey, don't cause trouble."
After counting, Lin Erzhu stood up and said:
"Dad, there are twenty-eight rabbits in total."
Lin Qingshan nodded and said:
"Okay, let's see how to divide it."
Everyone gathered together again to discuss it.
After the discussion,
Lin Qingshan nodded and said:
"Okay, let's divide it like this then."
Send five to Xiuxiu's family.
Two for Lin Feng's family.
Liu's family has two.
Aunt Zhang's family also has two.
Those families had helped our family the most in the past.
Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement,
Lin Qingshan continued:
"Alright, Erzhu."
You drove to your mother-in-law's house to deliver the rabbit.
Go quickly and come back quickly; be careful on the road.
Qingqing and Xiuxiu,
Then you can go and deliver rabbits to the other three families.
Yunlan and I stayed home and took care of processing the remaining rabbits.
Lin Erzhu responded:
"Father, don't worry."
He then turned and went to harness the horse to the carriage.
Wang Xiuxiu also picked up the small basket containing the rabbit.
Lu Qingqing and I are preparing to set off.
Lin Qingshan instructed:
"Xiuxiu, Qingqing, it's getting dark."
Be careful where you walk.
Wang Xiuxiu replied:
"Okay, Dad."
Lu Qingqing also smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Dad."
Lin Erzhu quickly got the carriage ready.
He shouted to Lin Qingshan:
"Father, I'm leaving now."
Lin Qingshan glanced at the carriage that Lin Erzhu was leading.
asked:
"Can you drive a horse-drawn carriage, kid?"
Lin Erzhu patted his chest and said:
"Dad, don't worry, it's not difficult at all."
Lin Qingshan frowned:
"Don't push yourself. If it's too difficult, take an oxcart instead."
Lin Erzhu quickly waved his hand:
"Really, Father, it's not necessary."
I promise I'll deliver the rabbit to my mother-in-law's house smoothly.
Wang Xiuxiu said from the side:
"Father, let him go. Look at how panicked he is about the carriage."
It should be fine.
Lin Qingshan sighed helplessly:
"Then be careful, and come back soon."
Lin Erzhu nodded with a smile:
"Okay, Dad!"
Having said that, he flicked his riding whip.
The carriage moved slowly forward.
We drove towards my mother-in-law's house.
Lu Qingqing and Wang Xiuxiu also took the rabbit and headed to another house.
Lin Qingshan watched their departing figures.
Turning to Lin Yunlan, he said:
"Yunlan, let's not just sit idle, let's get to work."
Yunlan responded:
"Okay, Dad."
Suddenly, everyone was busy, both inside and outside the house.
Yet it is also full of the warmth and everyday life.
That evening, the whole family was busy.
Until all the rabbits were stewed in a large pot and cooked...
Fill the firewood pile.
The family then began to eat dinner.
Lin Qingshan said with a smile:
"Finally finished! Today was a very fruitful day."
They brought back a whole cartload of goods from the village.
They also cooked a big pot of rabbit.
"This is such a wonderful life."
Lin Erzhu also said with a smile:
"Xiuxiu, you don't know..."
Qingqing was really amazing today.
From where we went,
Everyone treated us with utmost respect.
They address you as "Master's Wife".
Qingqing also treated the farmer's illness.
The person woke up immediately.
They treat you with utmost respect.
When we finally ate together, they realized we were a family.
We and Dad benefited too.
The head of the village still calls us "father" and "master."
Wang Xiuxiu looked at Lu Qingqing with surprise:
"Qingqing, you are so amazing!"
Lu Qingqing smiled somewhat shyly:
"Sister-in-law, it's not as exaggerated as Second Brother said."
Lin Qingshan said with a smile:
"No matter what,"
"Our Qingqing is really capable; she brings honor to our family."
Daya blinked her eyes:
"Auntie is so great!"
Er Ya also clapped her hands:
"Auntie is so amazing!"
"When I grow up, I want to be as amazing as my aunt!"
The family erupted in laughter again.
Seeing everyone's happy expressions, Lin Yunlan said:
"Father, there's nothing much going on at home right now."
I plan to start my new job at the government office tomorrow.
Lin Qingshan's smile faltered slightly.
He then said:
"Yunlan, the work in the government office is not easy."
You'd better be mentally prepared.
Lin Erzhu patted Lin Yunlan on the shoulder:
"Third brother, go and do a good job."
"You're the most promising member of our Lin family."
Wang Xiuxiu nodded in agreement.
Yunlan,
"One must be extra careful when working in a government office."
Lin Yunlan turned and glanced at Lu Qingqing.
In that glance, there was doubt, and there was expectation.
There seems to be a subtle, barely perceptible emotion hidden within.
Lu Qingqing's heart skipped a beat when he looked at her.
A blush unconsciously rose to her cheeks.
She quickly lowered her head to avoid his gaze.
at this time,
The atmosphere inside the room seemed to have subtly changed.
No one else noticed.
They were still enthusiastically discussing Lin Yunlan's schedule for taking up his post at the yamen the next day.
As for Lin Yunlan and Lu Qingqing...
Each of them felt a ripple in their heart.
