Chapter 154 Returning to the village in fine clothes
The next day, Lin Tailai got up to go back to the village, but Huang Xiaomei only sent him to the gate of the hospital and refused to follow Lin Tailai back.
Lin Tailai made random guesses in his mind, but on his face he could only pretend to be confused.
Then I heard Huang Xiaomei reminding me: "When you return to your hometown, you only need one or two followers. Don't bring so many people with you."
Lin Tailai asked in surprise: "Why is this?"
Nowadays, when Lin Daguan travels, his basic entourage is twenty-two people. That is, the Zhang family brothers who are the guardians on the left and right, and each of them brings ten subordinates.
Huang Xiaomei replied covertly: "It's not convenient for me to tell you clearly. My husband will understand it when he gets back. You are right to listen to me."
Lin Tailai nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to you! Anyway, bringing so many people back to the village would seem too ostentatious, and the village may not be able to accommodate them."
After all, the village is full of fellow villagers, so the safety factor is inherently high.
Even if you encounter some kind of situation, you only need to say hello a few times, and the neighbors will come out to help you, which is enough to deal with it.
Therefore, Lin Daguan decided to keep the carriage simple and take only two followers, the Zhang brothers.
Linsong Village is a typical small village in the south of the Yangtze River. It has 20 or 30 households. As the name suggests, most of them have the surnames Lin and Song. It is located a few miles northwest of Hengtang Town.
Lin Tailai walked away wearing a boy's dress, a blue shirt with fluttering sleeves.
Less than half an hour later, I saw the Shenming Pavilion standing at the entrance of the village.
There were a few old people sitting in the pavilion chatting, and there were a few children playing and playing outside the pavilion.
As for young laborers, who has time to chat in broad daylight at the entrance to the village during the busy farming season?
The old people in the pavilion looked familiar. Lin Tailai searched through his memory and learned that these old people were all fellow villagers.
Shenming Pavilion was at the intersection and there was no way around it, so Lin Daguan walked over with his head held high, preparing to show his holiness in front of people.
Their village is not a culturally strong village. It has been farming for generations, and it has never produced a single scholar. The head of the village who has not graduated from social studies has the highest academic level currently.
Therefore, the achievement of being the first to double major in liberal arts and become a martial arts student is enough to gain face and win a few prizes.
While thinking about how to introduce himself, Senior Officer Lin raised his hand slightly to salute with a hint of reserve.
After seeing this, the old people responded enthusiastically to Mr. Lin.
"Lin Asi! Lin Asi is back!"
"It turns out that Father Guozhong's family is having a great time! I heard that your boy is enjoying some success outside!"
Lin Tailai: "."
Forget about Lin A Si, what the hell is Da Sixi? Is it the original nickname?
The guardian Zhang brothers on the left and right looked at each other in shock. Unexpectedly, Lin Siguan, who was quite powerful recently, became Lin Asi when he returned to the village. He was very happy.
No wonder Huang Wuniang didn't let Lin Zuiguan take too many people back to the village. She probably didn't want too many people to hear these names that would damage Zuiguan's reputation.
So the two Zhang brothers also regretted it, knowing that they would not come.
If you know these things that you shouldn't know, you won't be alienated or even silenced in the future, right?
Lin Tailai really didn't want to communicate with a group of people who called him "Lin A Si" and "Da Si Xi", so he quickly crossed Shen Ming Pavilion and went straight to his home.
Before he even reached the door of his house, Lin Daguan had already seen the situation in the small courtyard through the wooden fence.
The father in this life was already sitting on the small bench, but he tried his best to straighten his upper body and look majestic.
Father Lin's name is Lin Guozhong, which is quite grand and does not look like the name of an ordinary farmer.
It is said that when Father Lin was young, he asked a fortune teller to tell him that he would be awarded a first-class title, and he was named "Guozhong".
But until now, Father Lin is fifty-one years old and still has no hope of being awarded a first-class title. This grand name is in vain.
Now Lin Guozhong has given birth to four sons, named Lin Shilai, Lin Yunlai, Lin Fulai, and Lin Tailai. The names are all auspicious, but they seem to be of no use. The old Lin family has been poor until now.
Lin Tai came to Xingsi, so he was nicknamed Lin Asi; and because he was very tall since he was a child, he was also nicknamed Da Sixi in the village.
Since you have traveled through time and merged with other people's souls and memories, it is also your duty to perform filial piety for others.
No matter how arrogant Mr. Lin is outside, he still has to kowtow to pay respect to his father.
After getting up, he patted the loess on his legs and looked at several rooms with yellow mud walls and thatched roofs. Mr. Lin couldn't help complaining:
"I didn't ask someone to bring me a little silver before, so why didn't I build a new house?"
Lin Guozhong immediately lectured: "You have only been in the city for a few days, how come you don't understand anything? Who would build a house when the farming season is busy?"
Mother Lin Song quickly came out to protect the calf and said to Lin Guozhong: "My son is also filial, but he doesn't earn any money even though he has a loud voice!"
Lin Guozhong felt that the head of his family had been disgraced by his wife, but there was nothing he could do.
He could only say to Lin Tai angrily: "I heard that you are quite famous outside, so this afternoon the wedding banquet people let you sit at the head table.
But no matter how beautiful you are outside, when you come back to the folks, you must remember not to lose your etiquette and make people laugh at my family!"
Lin Tailai didn't like hearing and teaching, so he changed the subject and said, "Why didn't father ask me about the exam?"
When I get home, in front of my parents, my test scores should be the most proud thing I can show.
Otherwise, you can't talk to your parents about how many people you've beaten, how much territory you've grabbed, and how many women you've slept with, right?
Lin Guozhong muttered: "Then what's the point of asking? Who knows what shady means you used?
If I hear you say it, I'm afraid it's not embarrassing enough, so I might as well not ask."
Lin Tailai: "."
He almost asked treacherously, are you really your biological father?
When Tian was about to die, her mother came to the rescue in time. Mrs. Lin Song laughed at Father Lin and said:
"Don't think that I don't know that when you were a teenager, you were very poor at studying, failed all the tests, and was kicked out by your sociology teacher!
Now that your son has done well in the exam, you feel sour again!
You really think that you are a first-class person who can only be strong all your life, but now you have to be strong with your son, are you embarrassed?"
Father Lin jumped to his feet and said, "What's wrong with studying? That's because my family is poor and can't afford to pay Shu Xiu, so my husband deliberately kicked me out!"
Lin Daguanren quickly stood beside his mother. She was the only one good in the world.
Mrs. Lin Song then turned to her youngest son and said, "Sixi, please stay a few more days this time, and my family will find a way to arrange a marriage for you.
After all, you have grown up, and if you start a family soon, your father and I will be completely at ease."
Lin Tailai: "."
There seems to be some danger around my mother!
Lin Daguan refused as tactfully as possible and said, "Don't worry, mother, I have my own ideas. Besides, I'm still young, so why bother."
Mrs. Lin Song suddenly remembered something, "You are not the lady whose surname is Huang or Fan, are you?
These two are not suitable to be the first wife, so let your family help you find a good match!"
Lin Tailai assured: "Don't worry, mother! The real wife is definitely not these two, I have my own ideas!"
Mrs. Lin Song said happily: "I'm not afraid that you have ideas, but I'm afraid that you don't have any ideas! Please tell me in detail, what are your thoughts on your wife's family?"
Lin Tailai replied: "The wife I want to marry must be a daughter of a famous family!
Since my mother intends for me to have a family, she should follow this request and find a suitable marriage for me!"
Lin Songshi: "."
How can you, an eighth-generation poor peasant from the Lin family, match you with the daughter of a famous family?
The younger son has such high standards, what should he do?
Father Lin jumped out again and said to Mrs. Lin Song: "He has no idea of getting married. It's obvious that he is trying to trick you in a different way and refuses to marry you!"
So after being away for several months, Lin Daguanren, who had only been home for less than half an hour, successfully entered the state of "people hate dogs" in advance.
Lin Tailai looked around and asked, "Where is my eldest brother?"
Father Lin replied: "I've gone to the fields! How can I be idle like you?"
Suzhou, because of the historical tradition of exterminating Zhang Shicheng, divided the official land into seven parts and the civilian land into three parts.
Most of the people rented and cultivated official land. A large family of Lao Lin rented and cultivated 40 acres of official land. However, there were many people and little land, so life was really hard.
In the past two months, for the sake of Lin Asi's face, Mrs. Fan allocated 50 acres of government land next door to the Lin family for rent.
Then Lin A'er and Lin Asan moved there with their wives and children, while Lin Ada followed Father Lin and still lived here in Linsong Village.
Only then can the entire Lao Lin family begin to feel a little better off.
