Little Wuya didn't know how to use a spoon yet, so she opened her little mouth and waited for Lin Xiaoman to feed her. After sucking a mouthful of egg custard, it went into her stomach. Sometimes when the feeding was slow, the little one would open her little mouth and scream, and Lin Xiaoman would

I would deliberately tease her, and it would be so funny to see her scream so anxiously.

After feeding Xiao Wuya, the little guy fell asleep soon, lying on Lin Xiaoman's shoulder and moving his head little by little.

Lin Xiaoman then sent her to the kang in the house and let the fourth grandmother who was sitting on the kang in the house watch her, so as not to let anyone steal her due to the large number of people.

When holding a banquet in the countryside, it is difficult to lock the door, and you are afraid of losing items in the house, so you will ask a trustworthy old man to sit in the house, so that you are not afraid that someone will dare to make a wrong idea.

The fourth grandma looked at Xiao Wuya with great curiosity, "Oh, how could the family be willing to sell such a rare baby? What a sin."

"No, my aunt was almost killed by them. They thought my aunt had not given birth to a son, wanted to marry someone else, and was reluctant to part with my aunt's dowry. My heart was so dark."

Lin Xiaoman was helpless. From the time she could remember, her parents were very good to her. Even after she had Erhu, her parents were the same as before. Even if Erhu didn't have it, she had to have it. Never because she was a daughter.

Not happy.

"This man has to accept his fate. He doesn't like the fact that God has given him five daughters, so he has to do it. Now it's fine, none of his daughters are gone, and he is still in prison. I heard someone say before that Tiantian is

My ex-mother-in-law is gone?"

Lin Xiaoman nodded, "Well, I said I got slapped twice, no one gave me winter clothes in prison, and I got frostbite, and I died a year ago."

"You deserve it! Let her cause harm, and this time you will risk your own life."

Lin Xiaoman didn't want to talk too much about He Tiantian's family affairs, so he asked the fourth grandma, "How are the sales of milk tea these days? Do you want to add more flavors?"

The fourth grandma shook her head, "No need for now. The workshop currently has red bean milk tea and sweet potato milk tea. They were selling so well that I had to stop the sour plum soup. After a while, the sales will slow down, so it won't be too late to add more. By the way.

, Xiaoman, yesterday I heard someone said that a health shop opened in the city, which also sells milk tea that is similar to what we sell. That shop has more flavors than ours, and the sweet potatoes in it are sweeter than ours, and even better than ours.

The sweet potato flavor we use, if that store hadn’t sold it too expensively, our business would have been taken away directly.”

Lin Xiaoman thought about it and guessed who was snatching the milk tea business.

Nowadays, only people from Hedong Village and Lu Jin have grown sweet potatoes here. The varieties are similar and the taste is similar. If anyone can grow sweet potatoes that are sweeter than those grown at home, I am afraid that only Xu Yuanru can grow them.

If you can grow medicinal materials for making nourishing cream, the vegetables you grow will be more delicious.

But obviously she can grow more valuable medicinal materials, so why does she grow sweet potatoes to steal the business of people around her? What else could it be besides doing it for her?

Lin Xiaoman regretted why he treated her injuries that day. He should have pressed the dart in again.

Lin Xiaoman originally ordered five tables, one table for Lu Jin and the people from the county government, one table for Lin Erhu's former classmates, one table for Xu Qiuliang and his brothers, and two tables for people who are familiar with each other in the village.

As a result, the banquet hadn't started yet, and all the older women were sitting on the kang in the house, while young women and children were sitting or standing in the house. The courtyard was crowded with men from the village.

There are more than a dozen tables.

Not to mention how many gifts you bring to your door, you can’t let your guests not have enough to eat, right?

Lin Xiaoman calculated that the ingredients he prepared were definitely not enough, so he went to Lin Dawu and asked him to help him buy another pig from the village.

The vegetables in the field are all ready-made, and I asked the aunts and sisters-in-law in the village to help pick and wash the vegetables.

Fortunately, there were many people, so the pigs were killed and the vegetables were picked and washed.

With the previous experience, before Lin Xiaoman opened his mouth, except for a few pieces of pork left for cooking, the rest of the pork bones and pork had been cooked.

When Lu Jin brought people over, he could smell the aroma of meat wafting from the yard in the distance. Qingshu beside him said: "Miss Xiaoman is stewing meat. It is estimated that there are many people here, and there is no time to cook.

”

Lu Jin picked up the gift he had prepared in his hand and thought: Even if it’s stew, Xiaoman’s stew is more fragrant than others’ stews.

Just as he was about to step in, he saw a woman carrying a basin saying to another woman carrying a bowl: "We're here today. I didn't know that this family was treating guests today. They were hiding it because they were afraid of me."

Are we coming to eat at a big restaurant?"

"That's right, thanks to us getting the letter, we came here and worked for them for a long time. They didn't even ask us to come over to treat them to dinner. It's really that the more money you have, the more stingy you get."

"Oh, forget it. When the party starts, we'll rush inside. Whatever it is, put it back in a pot first."

"Yes, country people eat like that. They grab the food first as soon as it is served. If we don't grab it, it will be an advantage to the people next to us."

Lu Jin frowned when he heard this, and looked at the Peng Guancha who were following him. Peng Guancha hurriedly said: "They are the exiles sent here a while ago. One is named Zhao and the other is Fang. They used to be from farming and studying families. Who would have thought...

…” There is no need to say more about what is left unfinished.

Lu Jin was not a stingy person, and he had never invited villagers to eat meat before. However, he couldn't see that these people were taking Lin Xiaoman as their culprit and disliked the country people, so he whispered a few words to Qingshu.

I don't know who shouted: "The county magistrate is here."

Everyone made way out of the way. Everywhere they passed, people from Hedong Village greeted Lu Jin, and Lu Jin responded one by one without any airs.

Lin Youwang and Lin Daqiang were chatting with people in the courtyard. When they heard Lu Jin coming, they rushed out to welcome him, and then they stayed with each other.

Qingshu, who was one step behind, pulled Lin Daqiang's sleeve and asked: "Uncle, where do you write the gift account?"

Lin Daqiang was stunned. In the past, families in the village had the habit of keeping ritual accounts when marrying a daughter-in-law. But today is to celebrate Lin Erhu's birth of a boy, so Xiaoman's family really didn't think about this.

But since we are here for a banquet, we should really keep accounts, even if it is just a green onion or two heads of garlic, it will be a good gift in the future.

What's more, if Qingshu asked this question, he must have prepared a gift.

So he said to Lin Dawu: "Go to Mr. Xu's house and ask if there is anyone who can write and borrow one."

Lin Dawu agreed and trotted out. Not long after, a young boy in his teens followed behind him. He was Xu Qiuliang's nephew.

After Lin Dawu brought the people in, he moved the table and asked Lin Erhu for the four treasures of the study.

Lin Erhu was chatting with his former classmates in the house. He heard that he wanted to borrow the Four Treasures of the Study, so he knew that he had to write a gift account.

"Uncle, no need. My sister said that we can just treat the villagers to a meal to celebrate. No gift money will be accepted."

Lin Dawu shook his head, "Brother Qingshu asked. It should be someone from the county government who wants to follow the courtesy."

Lin Erhu thought for a moment and said nothing. Anyway, it was a matter of reciprocity. If someone's family had trouble in the future, he and his sister would just move around more.
