Chapter 128 The county magistrate is pretty weird
Xu Qiuliang was satisfied. Lin Wenyao was very practical. He said that he could see the reality clearly, but that he was a bit of a loser. But Lin Erhu was still young, and there were no useful people around him now.
It’s good to find such a useful one.
Although I only believed half of what he said, it still depends on Lin Erhu as long as he can pave the way for Lin Erhu.
Furthermore, although Lu Jin is a bit arrogant, he is still reliable in his work, and he will not let Lin Erhu suffer.
He looked up and saw Lin Xiaoman standing outside the courtyard, waving his hand, "You go back, if I leave you here, Xiaoman will curse."
Lin Xiaoman smiled, "Sir, it sounds like I'm ignorant. I'll cook a big dinner for him tonight."
The words "big meal" made Xu Qiuliang swallow hard.
Looking at the food on the table, I don’t know whether to eat or not.
After eating these eight dishes, he is probably not able to eat anything at night, but who can bear not to eat?
"Xiaoman, let's talk about it. Can the feast be cooked tomorrow?"
Lin Xiaoman smiled, "Sure!"
Xu Qiuliang was satisfied, threw up his whirlwind chopsticks and started grabbing them with his brothers.
The four of them returned to the small courtyard. The food on the table was a little cold, but the weather was hot at this time, so it didn't hinder them from eating.
Lin Goudan took a hard breath at the counter, "Second sister, you don't know, just now I was smelling the food on the table and almost got confused by the aroma, but that gentleman took the second brother to pour him wine, and I didn't even want to leave.
Can't leave."
Lin Wenyao gave him a piece of chicken angrily and said, "Sir, you are testing our character. From now on, you should behave yourself in front of him. If you are chosen by him and accepts you as his student, you will be able to stand out in the future."

Lin Goudan's face dropped, "I don't want it. I want to do business with my second sister, so I don't want to study."
Lin Xiaoman shook his head, "You also need to study when doing business, otherwise you won't be able to read the account books, and you won't even know that someone has made false accounts."
Lin Goudan didn't believe it, "Second sister hasn't read a book, can't she still do business?"
Lin Xiaoman raised his eyebrows, "How do you know I haven't read a book? I have been studying with my father since I was a child. If women were not allowed to take the scientific examination, I would have come back as a scholar."
Lin Wenyao, who had not been admitted as a scholar after studying for more than ten years, seemed to have been hit hard in his heart.
After dinner, and after clearing away the dishes and chopsticks together, Lin Wenyao went home to pack his clothes and books, but Lin Goudan said he would stay and not leave.
Lin Wenyao didn't take him away by force, but just told him not to get into trouble, not to go to his grandparents' house, and to memorize the Thousand-Character Essay he just learned.
Lin Goudan agreed with a sad face. He turned around and wanted to complain to Lin Erhu that his brother had been paying close attention to his studies recently, but he saw that Lin Erhu had already picked up a book and was shaking his head while reading.
Lin Goudan wanted to run away, but Lin Xiaoman stuffed him with a thousand-character essay, "Which paragraph does Brother want you to memorize? I will test you."
Lin Goudan kept bowing, "Second sister, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that you haven't read."
But no matter how much he begged for mercy, Lin Xiaoman remained unmoved and forced him to recite the Thousand-Character Essay. If he memorized the wrong parts, he would be given the Four Treasures of the Study for him to write.
Lin Goudan regretted why he stayed. Wouldn't it be better to go back with his brother? When the eldest brother comes to Hedong Village to study with Mr. Xu, no one in the family will force him to study and read.
But it's too late to regret it. The second sister is more ruthless in managing people than his brother.
Looking at the small wooden stick that Lin Xiaoman held in front of his eyes, Lin Goudan discovered that he could read and write much faster this afternoon than before. By the time Lin Wenyao came back from the county town, he had actually learned to write more than 20 words.
.
Moreover, he remembered these twenty-odd words more firmly than when his brother taught him. It was really as soon as he closed his eyes that these twenty-odd words were dazzling in front of his eyes.
Originally, Lin Wenyao could live in Mrs. Lin's house, but since they went to the county town, except for sending one tael of silver every month to honor the elderly, they have never returned to that home.
During the last two months of studying, he didn't want to be in a noisy environment, so he stayed in Xu Qiuliang's yard.
Lin Goudan spent the night in Lin Erhu's house during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the next day Lin Xiaoman asked him to take him back to the city on the handlebar.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, her and Lin Erhu's tutoring classes were also suspended for one night, and they had to go to class every day after that. How could they go to class when Lin Goudan lived at home?
On the second day, Lin Xiaoman stewed a large pot of big bones with soy sauce for Xu Qiuliang as promised. There were also several large pieces of meat in it. Xu Qiuliang took a piece of bone in one hand and gnawed it without caring about the appearance, and the rest of the vegetable soup was brought
After simmering the food for several days, Xu Qiuhao became even more hungry for meat.
When Lu Jin came to the village to check how the crops were growing in the fields, Xu Qiuliang showed off to him. Lu Jin swallowed his saliva and immediately asked Qingshu to go back to the city to buy a pig, and asked Lin Xiaoman to help stew it. He gnawed the meat bones.
The meat was used as stew and given to each family in the village.
I heard that the county magistrate only gnawed some pig bones and gave them all the meat to stew. The villagers were deeply moved: The county magistrate is a very nice person.
Grandma Chen made a lot of clothes out of the fabrics she grabbed earlier, and Lin Xiaoman put them up for sale in her own shop.
She only sold a few of the head flowers she made before, and the store's business has never been very good.
Unexpectedly, as soon as those rustic clothes made by Grandma Chen were hung up, more than a dozen pieces were sold in a few days. Although the sales volume was not high, it also brought motivation to the old man. He took all the fabrics in these few days.
I can make clothes for several hours a day.
Grandma Chen used to work in a textile factory and knew what procedures were required to sell clothes. Before Lin Xiaoman could say anything, she had completed all the procedures and even made a similarly rustic Chinese brand: KENIIKE
.
Sometimes Lin Xiaoman would make clothes with the elderly, and Grandma Chen would teach her some sewing skills. Sometimes Lin Xiaoman would also teach Grandma Chen some embroidery skills, and their skills improved by leaps and bounds.
This morning, Lin Xiaoman came back from there to feed the chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs at the back of the yard, and heard someone quarreling outside the yard.
Lin Xiaoman was lying on the wall watching the excitement, and saw that Chen Yao, who had just come to the village a few days ago, was sitting on the ground and refused to get up. Her son and daughter-in-law stood nearby and begged Peng Guancha for mercy.
"Poor sir, my mother is too old to do anything. Let us both do her work."
Peng Guan stared blankly, "Your Excellency, you have an order. No one can do anything for others. Yesterday, we brothers stayed with your mother until it got dark. This morning she was cheating again. Could it be that tonight
Want to work all night?"
Chen Yushi took a bunch of money and handed it to Peng Guancha, but Peng Guancha dodged it and said, "Bringing an official is an additional crime. Don't you want your mother-in-law's work to be doubled?"
It doesn’t matter if Chen Yushi holds the money in her hand and stuffs it, and it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t stuff it.
Chen Yao pointed at her nose and scolded, "You little bitch, do you want to make me work more?"
Chen Yushi was wronged, "Mom, I don't have it. I just want the official to be accommodating so that my daughter-in-law can do the work for her mother-in-law."
Mrs. Chen Yao said, "Pooh" at her, "How can you have such good intentions? You're just pretending to be in front of outsiders."
