Chapter 157 This is a courtesy
Lin Xiaoman knew that when Lu Jin came over, what he saw when he went out was Lu Jin standing in front of the table, asking someone to write a gift account.
There was also a long queue behind him, with people from the county government at the front, and people from Hedong Village behind him.
Lin Xiaoman came over and said: "Why do you write down the gift account? Today is just a lively meal, there is no need to follow the gift."
Lu Jin smiled and said: "It's just a little thought."
Lin Xiaoman looked at the random gifts that Lu Jin brought, a set of four study treasures and a pair of sky-blue jade paperweights, which looked very valuable.
This is not a bit of intention.
Lin Erhu happened to bring his classmates out and saw the gift given by Lu Jin. He exclaimed a little, but was drowned in the louder exclamation, "Oh my god, Brother Lin, could it be that the gift-giver?"
County Magistrate? Your family is actually familiar with the County Magistrate?"
Lin Erhu proudly puffed out his chest, "That's right, the county magistrate also helps my family farm."
Several classmates couldn't believe it. Although they had heard that the county magistrate was diligent and caring for the people, would he help ordinary people farm their land? This was really the first time they heard about it.
But when I think about what I just heard from people saying that the peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, and sweet potatoes that are very popular around Qingping County these days are all grown by Lin Erhu’s family, I can understand why the county magistrate would help his family farm.<
/p>
These are all political achievements. No wonder he came in person today and gave such generous gifts.
People who have never read a book may not recognize the weight of the gift given by Lu Jin, but they have all studied in the academy for several years and have seen all the good Four Treasures of the Study, but they have never seen anything better than the one given by the county magistrate.
Yes, this gift alone must be worth thousands of gold, right?
So envious!
Not only was he envious of the gift from the county magistrate, but he also envied Lin Erhu's family's familiarity with the county magistrate. At this time, he looked at Lin Erhu with more attention than before.
After Lu Jin finished writing the gift account, the people from the county government also started to write the gift account one after another. The gifts they gave were not as good as Lu Jin's. Most of them were fifty cents for this and a hundred cents for that. But such gifts were rare in the village.
It's pretty thick inside.
After the gifts were given, the people from the county government stood nearby. Anyone behind them who accepted the gifts would be politely led to the courtyard. Even if the gifts were only a handful of green vegetables, the smiles on their faces were still there.
Nothing has changed.
It can be seen that he does not want to cause the villagers to bleed.
After watching for a while, the villagers felt relieved. Since they had come here to feel happy, they would not come empty-handed, especially since most of the villagers had benefited from Lin Xiaoman's family and had been farming for more than half a year, earning ten times more than they had before.
I earn more every year.
In order to build a good relationship with Lin Xiaoman's family, no matter what good things happen next year, I will always think about my own family. The gifts given by the villagers of Hedong Village this time are not small, they are more than a hundred yuan, but it seems that the county government officials are casual.
There is a little less etiquette.
However, one person can eat with the whole family, and Xiaoman’s family’s food is good, so it’s not a loss.
The Yao family also came. After writing the gift account, Mr. Lin huddled behind the crowd and was too embarrassed to come forward. Yao took his arm and dragged him out, "Xiao Man, your uncle said he was too embarrassed to see you, so I took him
He was dragged here. I have to let him accompany you in person today."
Lin Xiaoman smiled and said, "What did you say? My uncle is an elder, so how can I slap him in the face in public? Since you are here, just go in and sit down. The banquet will start soon."
Mrs. Yao happily said "Hey" and pulled the elder Lin inside, followed by the two girls in the first room. When they saw Lin Xiaoman, the two cousins called out sweetly: "Second sister."
p>
Lin Xiaoman smiled at them and said, "Well, go in quickly and find a good place to sit. I will bring you some pearls when I go back."
The two cousins immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, second sister."
After saying that, they entered the courtyard holding hands. Behind them, Lin Wenyao nodded reservedly to Lin Xiaoman, and Lin Xiaoman also smiled at him.
Suddenly I heard the officer shouting: "Who, don't run away, the gift account is written over here, yes, let's talk about you two, the one holding the bowl, and the one holding the basin next to...the gift account is written over here."<
/p>
Lin Xiaoman looked over there and saw two rude-looking women, one holding a basin and the other holding a bowl. They were sneaking in, but they were blocked by an official.
Lin Xiaoman originally wanted to say that he could eat without following the etiquette, but these two people were really unfamiliar. Thinking that Xu was from the last batch of exiles, he couldn't help but laugh.
When she was having a treat at her house, she originally wanted to invite close people over to join in the fun, but she didn’t expect that some people would come over to eat and drink.
However, she didn't want to get into trouble on her big day, and it would be even worse if the two said some unpleasant words, so she walked over.
When the two people saw that the gift account was being written here, they wanted to sneak in, but they didn't expect that the official's name was so small, and the eyes from all directions were swept over.
They were left standing there feeling ashamed, "We just want to feel happy, nothing else."
"Then why are you holding both a basin and a bowl? You don't want to eat and take them at the same time, right?"
The woman hurriedly waved her hands, "No, no, how can we? We just want to join in the fun, and this pot... we are welcome as a courtesy."
The two were exiled all the way, and the officers who escorted them all had vicious looks. They had a deep shadow of the officers in their hearts, and were afraid that they would be beaten again if they failed to speak up.
If they had known that official officials would be coming today, they would have never come over to eat and drink.
At this time, he came up with an excuse. The officer looked at the bowls and basins in their hands, his face softened slightly, and he pointed to the place where the gift account was written, "The gift account is written there, you can come with me."
The two women groaned inwardly, but did not dare to say any more. Thinking of the children and the elderly at home who had not eaten meat for several days, they almost shed tears.
When Lin Xiaoman saw that the matter was resolved, he didn't move forward anymore. He just saw the two of them looking like they were about to cry, and felt a little pity in his heart.
The employees in her family are well fed, but I have heard from others that some families live carefully and only give their employees brown rice porridge every day. There are so few grains of rice that some people fainted from hunger several times.
These two women look strange, and they are willing to risk their face to come and eat. Maybe they are the people from the families who have been treated harshly by their masters.
After the two of them left the basin and bowl as gifts, Lin Xiaoman came over to take the bowl and basin away, and asked others about the situation of the two women.
As expected, as she had guessed, these two people were working in the homes of the two most stingy families in the village. A few days ago, I heard that an old man and a child in their home had collapsed due to lack of food.
Lin Xiaoman sighed, thinking that when they left, he would return the basins and bowls to them and pack some food for them to take back.
Just as he was thinking about it, Qingshu came up behind him and said softly: "Miss Xiaoman, sir, although the actions of the two women were inappropriate, they were also desperate. Give them a little lesson. If Miss Xiaoman wants to keep the two of them,
Just hit it one or two more times."
Lin Xiaoman was speechless. Why did he hire someone to do the work and it looked like a scheming scheme?
