Chapter 153 Do you want an iron pole? Or a wooden pole?
After saying goodbye to Master Lu, Lin Xiaoman drove the donkey cart back to Hedong Village.
On the road, he met Xu Yuanru who was driving a carriage out of the village. Lin Xiaoman pretended not to see the person and swung his whip to urge the donkey cart to run quickly.
Xu Yuanru put the carriage in front of her, "Xiao Man, why are you still avoiding me?"
Lin Xiaoman felt that he had no friendship with her, and had even had troubles in the past. If we talk about fate, it means that Xu Yuanru recognized the wrong fellow. But when someone stopped him for questioning, Lin Xiaoman couldn't just leave.
"Why are I hiding from you? I didn't sleep well last night and was sleepy, so I didn't see you."
Xu Yuanru laughed angrily, "I have such a big carriage, and such a big person is sitting in the front, but you didn't see it? What a fool?"
Lin Xiaoman covered his mouth and yawned, "I didn't see it, I just didn't see it. Are you okay?"
Xu Yuanru looked back and forth, lowered her voice and asked: "Xiao Man, can you get a gun? I'll buy it with you."
Lin Xiaoman was suddenly startled, but quickly nodded, "Yes, do you want a wooden pole or an iron pole? But the court does not allow the sale of this thing, and even the blacksmith shop cannot build it casually. I have to ask Mr. Lu.
By the way, you transported so many weapons to the cave before, and I don’t believe you if you say you didn’t hide a few.”
"Wooden pole? Iron pole?" Xu Yuanru was confused for a moment, and then she realized that she had been tricked by Lin Xiaoman, and said angrily: "Are you pretending to be confused because you understand? I'm talking about a pistol. Do you understand pistols?"
Lin Xiaoman shook his head, "What kind of gun is a pistol? How long? How heavy is it? What is the rod made of? Please tell me carefully, and I will ask Mr. Lu."
Xu Yuanru rolled her eyes and waved her hand towards Lin Xiaoman, "I don't need to stop you. You can go."
Lin Xiaoman was not in a hurry to leave this time, "Why are you chasing people away? I still have something to say to you."
"Speak quickly if you have something to say, and fart if you have anything to say!"
Lin Xiaoman covered his nose with a look of disgust, "After all, you have an official in your family, and his words are too vulgar. How can you talk about shit?"
Xu Yuanru was too lazy to pay attention to her and pretended to drive away with the carriage. Lin Xiaoman hurriedly asked: "Weren't you arrested? Why were you released?"
Xu Yuanru said proudly, "Don't talk nonsense. I was not arrested. I was helping the officers capture the rebels. I also transported the captured grain, grass and weapons. Not only was I not guilty, but I also had merit."
"Tsk, tsk, see what you can do."
Lin Xiaoman shook his head inwardly. She was complacent about being a target. Didn't she know that a rebel had escaped? She dared to publicize that she helped the officers catch the rebels, so she was not afraid that the rebels who had escaped would turn around and escape.
Come and take her life.
It seems that Lu Jin released her mostly to attract more rebels.
Lu Jin is really a bad person!
But now that Xu Yuanru has been released, she will probably still go to Shopkeeper Feng to sell nourishing cream. After returning to the county town to deliver the ice, she will go to Shopkeeper Feng to ask first.
Xu Yuanru didn't think as much as Lin Xiaoman. She was even proud of herself, "That's right, I'm capable. You said such a big thing and Mr. Lu let me go just because he said so. Do you think he actually values me a lot?"
Yes? Ouch, do you think he has a crush on me? Some people are worried that Mrs. Lu’s position will be lost?"
Lin Xiaoman chuckled, "This man is still proud of being targeted. How come people who traveled through that era don't have any brains?
But it's a good thing that she came out. Thinking of the nourishing cream that Meng Meng has been urging, she will have to go to Shopkeeper Feng to ask about it later.
When I got home, I took ice cubes from the warehouse and sent them to Grandma Four again.
The weather is not as hot as before, and the amount of ice cubes used has been reduced by half. After summer in previous years, the temperature will drop sharply in the blink of an eye. Fourth Grandma and Lin Xiaoman discussed that they would start selling ginger tea when the weather gets colder.
Someone in the village bought a cow in the spring and had a calf in her belly. She gave birth to a calf more than two months ago and it will be weaned in about a month. Lin Xiaoman wanted her fourth grandma to add a cup of milk tea in the workshop and heat it up.
Take a hot sip and your body will feel warm.
After Fourth Grandma asked Lin Xiaoman to explain how to make milk tea in detail, she immediately ran back to the village to find someone to buy milk.
Lin Xiaoman also went to Feng Ji Rouge Shop to find Shopkeeper Feng. Sure enough, as soon as he saw Lin Xiaoman, Shopkeeper Feng came forward with a smile on his face, "Xiao Man, I was thinking that someone would go find you later, so you can come."
Yes, what a coincidence."
"It's not a coincidence. I just saw Miss Xu and came over to try my luck."
Shopkeeper Feng led Lin Xiaoman to the back and took out five cans of nourishing cream sent by Xu Yuanru, "There are a lot of them this time. Do you want to take a look?"
"Yes! From now on, I will ask for as much as I want. The more, the better."
Shopkeeper Feng understood, "Okay, next time she comes, I will talk to her and ask her to send more."
"Thank you very much, Uncle Feng."
"Why are you thanking me? She gave me more, so I can earn more."
Shopkeeper Feng's old face turned into a chrysanthemum when he thought of another income coming in.
Lin Erhu took the exam for a whole day. Not only did he write like a master, but he also wrote non-stop.
Lu Jin came down several times to check the candidates' answer sheets, and would always stop by Lin Erhu's side.
Lin Erhu just buried his head in writing and was completely unaware of anyone passing by.
Lu Jin knew it well after reading the article written by Lin Erhu, and it was unlikely that the little boy would fail the exam.
What's more, even if Lin Erhu fails the exam, whether he can pass the exam is not a matter of his words?
But being able to be favored by Xu Qiuliang and take him with him to teach him, if Lin Erhu couldn't even pass the junior examination, Xu Qiuliang would be in disgrace.
Coming out in the evening, Lin Erhu was full of confidence.
Lin Xiaoman and Master Lu were waiting outside. Seeing this, Master Lu said, "Don't be proud."
Lin Erhu bowed his head to the ground respectfully, "Yes!"
Seeing that Lin Erhu was still so polite, Mrs. Lu had a smile on her lips. Lin Erhu suggested that they go have a meal together to celebrate.
Master Lu wanted to refuse, but he saw that several students who were friends with Lin Erhu had already jumped up and cheered.
The students who live in Qingping County are all accompanied by their families to participate in the college examination. The students led by Mr. Lu live far away from each other. Although there are few families who can afford to study, they are not really poor, but after all, studying outside is not as good as studying at home. It is rare.
Everyone is looking forward to being able to go out to eat and drink.
Master Lu just scolded him and went with him happily.
The restaurant we went to was the famous Songhe Tower in Qingping County. There were nine people in total, so they asked for the largest private room. Lin Xiaoman greeted the shopkeeper, and the table was charged to her today.
The shopkeeper recognized Lin Xiaoman as the girl from Hedong Village who grew new grains and vegetables, and wanted to befriend her so that if they grow anything good in the future, their restaurant could be one step ahead or learn more dishes from her.
, then he patted his chest and said: "Niece, aren't you trying to make fun of your uncle? Isn't it just a meal? My uncle invited me today."
