Father-in-law Zhang Xianghe immediately smiled when he saw Lin Xu.
My uncle is really proud of him now!
"Hello, uncle! Hello, uncle!"
Xu Yushan also greeted Lin Xu with a smile.
"Where's Ruolan?" the old father-in-law asked casually.
"She is in the textile factory at the east end of the village. She is not required to work, but she can't sit still and likes to stay there. Do you want me to call her over?"
"No! No! Let her do her thing, and let's talk about ours."
"Dad, Third Uncle, please come inside!"
Lin Xu stood sideways at the door and stretched out his hand to signal.
"My uncle is indeed a scholar. He is certainly not comparable to those country men!"
Xu Yushan praised again.
"Uncle San is too praised!"
Lin Xu smiled softly, thinking that the old village chief had made a special trip to come here today and praised himself again and again. He must be looking for help from him for something!
If nothing else, it should be a matter of going to work!
After sitting down in the yard, Lin Xu poured herbal tea for them.
"Uncle, when I came here just now, I passed by the textile factory in your village and took a look at it. There were so many women working together and it was so lively. It's great! I heard that you not only give these female workers two meals a day,
You have enough to eat and you get paid 100 wages a month, is it true?"
Xu Yushan said these words with no concealed look of envy in his eyes.
"Yes, this is the case."
There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing. Besides, he will continue to recruit workers from nearby villages. Such good treatment is the biggest advantage in attracting migrant workers!
"That's great! That's great! When Lao Zhang married Ruolan to you, I knew that Lao Zhang had found a good uncle! We in Daning Dynasty have always respected scholars, and Lao Zhang has found a good uncle.
It’s really good for a scholar to be an uncle! What a good vision!”
Xu Yushan praised Lin Xu repeatedly and wanted to leave a good impression on Lin Xu.
Zhang Xianghe reciprocated the favor and said with a smile: "Third brother, don't just praise me. If you hadn't given me some advice, I wouldn't have found such a good uncle!"
"Hahaha... That's right! That's right! I did tell you at that time that a girl as good as Ruolan must not marry anyone casually. She must marry a scholar! If you hadn't listened at the beginning,
I really regret it now!"
"That's right! That's right! If I hadn't listened to you, I would definitely regret it now!"
"That is to say, my Chunxiang got married too early. If it had been a few years later, how could I have given you such a good uncle? However, my Qiuxiang is also thirteen this year, and she will be able to get married in another year.
When the time comes, if my uncle likes her, I will marry Qiuxiang to my uncle as my concubine! Lao Zhang, do you have any objections? "
"Hey! Judging from what you said, as long as my uncle doesn't have any objections, what do I have to say! If Qiuxiang can really marry my uncle, then we will kiss each other! This is a good thing!"
Listening to the old father-in-law and the old village chief competing to praise themselves here, Lin Xu always had a smile on his face. In fact, he was so embarrassed that he almost kicked out of the three rooms and one living room!
Afterwards, Xu Yushan said some more words of praise for Lin Xu and envy of textile factories and brick kilns, but he was still embarrassed to say the real thing.
Because he felt that he didn't have enough weight. If he was rejected by Lin Xu after speaking out, he would be embarrassed secondly. The key is that it would be a shame!
So, he repeatedly hinted to Zhang Xianghe with his eyes, asking him to talk about this matter.
Lin Xu can refuse to give other people's face, but Lin Xu can't refuse to give his father-in-law's face, right? This chapter has been completed!
