Lin Xiaoman directed, Lu Jin cut the fish into a knife, and got some onions, ginger and garlic to marinate the fish to make it taste better.

Xu Qiuliang came out of the house after smelling the smell of fish. He saw Lu Jin busy in the kitchen and leaned against the door frame with a smile, "Hey, the Six Overlords still have a day as a fish killer? The sun is really coming out in the west.

”

Lu Jin glanced at him sideways, and continued to change the knife with his hand, but his words were unforgiving, "You can lean on the door and make a smile, what does it matter if I kill a fish?"

Xu Qiuliang looked at the door he was leaning on, twitched the corner of his mouth and stood up straight.

Lin Xiaoman didn't realize what it meant to smile by leaning against the door at first. Only when he saw Xu Qiuliang's expression did he realize that he couldn't help but feel happy.

These two people can't talk to each other well when they meet. They have to hurt each other a few words to feel comfortable, right?

Yao heard the noise outside and came out to see Lu Jin killing fish in the kitchen. She was so frightened that she squeezed in and said, "Hey, how can you do this work? Let me do it. Xiao Man, you go make a pot of tea and chat with me."

Your Excellency and Sir, please go and have tea in the pavilion."

Lu Jin said: "No need!"

Mrs. Yao looked at Lin Xiaoman again, and Lin Xiaoman said: "Auntie, you want to eat the fish I cooked."

Thinking of his unimpressive cooking skills, Mr. Yao nodded, "Oh, okay, if you need anything, call me."

Lin Xiaoman hummed, and Yao walked into the house, looking back as he walked. He always felt that there was something strange between the county magistrate and Lin Xiaoman. Are they too familiar with each other?

In the next few days, Lu Jin went out to be busy during the day, and Lin Xiaoman sometimes went out for shopping, and sometimes walked around in front of the government office, but didn't buy anything else.

When Lin Erhu came out from the exam, the first thing he saw was Lin Xiaoman and Lu Jin, who were very conspicuous in the crowd. Suddenly he thought of the scene where the children came out from school and saw their parents waiting outside the school.<

/p>

Lin Erhu had a lot of money with him, and the government office also prepared food for the candidates. As long as he was willing to spend money, he could order food from the restaurant. Lin Erhu spent a lot of money, eating well and drinking well. When he came out,

I don’t see how tired I am.

However, Lin Wenyao brought a bag of dry food with him when he went in. He has been eating dry food to satisfy his hunger in the past few days, and the water he drank was free well water from the government office. When he came out, he was obviously thinner and his face was sallow.

After a day's rest, Lin Xiaoman took Lin Erhu back to Hedong Village. Lin Wenyao still wanted to wait for the results. If he was admitted to the scholar examination this year, he also wanted to try the provincial examination in a few days.

Xu Qiuliang wanted Lin Erhu to win three yuan in a row at once. With his current knowledge, even if he passed the provincial examination, it would be difficult for him. He might as well go back and settle down for a few more years.

The Yao family stayed with Lin Wenyao in Wuzhou Mansion and continued to live in the house.

Lin Xiaoman asked Lu Jin on the way back, "You said the yard is like that, what will the landlord do if he finds out about it in the future?"

Lin Erhu was surprised, "What's going on? Didn't the homeowner just lay the loess for paving the road?"

Lin Xiaoman stroked his head lovingly, "Children, don't pry into adults' matters."

Lin Erhu was unhappy when he heard this, "I was born as a child. This time I tried to be a scholar. Sister, don't always treat me like a child."

"Oh!" Lin Xiaoman responded perfunctorily.

Lu Jin said: "It doesn't matter, that house is also the property of the prefect, just let him take care of it later."

As soon as he heard that it was the property of the prefect, Lin Xiaoman's previous feeling of guilt disappeared.

Back in Hedong Village, it was Aunt Qi's birthday in a few days, and Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu gave her a pair of jade bracelets.

If Aunt Qi had not been anxious to see what the gifts from the siblings were before, after they gave her the two pieces of material last time, Aunt Qi would no longer think that the gifts from the siblings were gifts for children.

Sure enough, when she opened it and saw the pair of ice-green glass jade bracelets inside, Aunt Qi was dumbfounded. It was the first time she had seen bracelets that were so transparent and icy. Anyone who didn't know the product would have thought they were made of glass.

.

Aunt Qi quickly closed the box and said, "Xiaoman, Erhu, this gift is too valuable, Aunt Qi cannot accept it."

Lin Xiaoman said: "Aunt Qi, you have given us a lot of gifts this year. You can't always let us receive things but not give them away, right? If you always do this, the gifts you give in the future will not be the same as mine."

We don’t want it anymore.”

Aunt Qi is in a dilemma. This bracelet is really too expensive. All the gifts she gave this year combined are not even a fraction of this one.

But when I think about it, she has no children, and now she has only adopted two siblings. Her parents and brothers are unreliable. In the future, she wants to leave the family property to her siblings. She has even made a will and takes away their valuables.

The gifts are nothing. At worst, I can give them some real estate in the future. When they are old enough and get their driver’s licenses, I can give each of them a luxury car.

Thinking like this, Aunt Qi did not refuse any more, "Well, since it is your wish, Aunt Qi will accept it. You are not allowed to give such expensive things again in the future. You are not allowed to give anything expensive to Aunt Qi anymore."

Decline."

"Yeah, we won't refuse."

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

Speaking of which, Aunt Qi really likes this kind of jade bracelet, especially when paired with a cheongsam, it is so beautiful.

On the spot, Aunt Qi turned out the cheongsam she had made with the fabric given by the siblings, and put on the jade bracelet. Her temperament immediately improved several degrees, and she looked like she was in her early thirties.

Meng Meng's family arrived a little late, and Mother Meng gave Aunt Qi a custom-made apricot silk scarf to wear over her cheongsam. It was extremely expensive.

Meng Mengzi gave an icy blue hairpin, which looked like a set of bracelets given by the siblings.

Lin Xiaoman helped Aunt Qi tie a bun on the back of her head and inserted the hosta diagonally. She immediately looked very charming.

Aunt Qi was very careful in every move she made, for fear of accidentally damaging her valuable jewelry.

This time Aunt Qi celebrated her birthday. In addition to the siblings and Meng Meng's family, she also invited some of her friends, all of whom are prominent figures in the local area. The VIP building of the villa was immediately closed to the public.

During the dinner, Aunt Qi took the siblings everywhere to identify people. Thanks to their good memories, they memorized all the people introduced by Aunt Qi.

When others compliment Aunt Qi on how beautiful her jade bracelet and hairpin are, Aunt Qi will shyly and proudly touch the jade bracelet in her hair with her hand wearing the jade bracelet, saying, "It's all the children's wishes. I just said they love it."

Spending money indiscriminately, what can you do with this money? Why did you just think of buying this for me?"

In the past, Aunt Qi didn't get married. I don't know how many people laughed at her. Many people told her that she didn't get married and had no children of her own. Who would take care of her when she gets old?

Even her own parents and brother's family were also concerned about her property, and even had the intention of killing her in order to obtain the property.
