Faced with the village head's refusal and persuasion, Lin Chuyi just smiled and nodded, but did not take the things back as the village head wished. Instead, he handed the things back to the village head.

"Grandpa Lizheng, we have no relatives in the village now, so we will have to trouble you frequently in the future. If you don't accept these things, how can I have the nerve to come to your house in the future?"

Seeing Lin Chuyi's firm attitude, the village head no longer refused and accepted the things.

The purpose of this trip had been achieved, so Lin Chuyi made an excuse to go home and make breakfast, said goodbye to the head of the village, and left the head of the village.

After Lin Chuyi left, Li took the things Lin Chuyi had given him and went into his and his wife's house.

In the house, the headman's wife, Wang, was scooping out food for breakfast. She saw the headman coming in with a tied rabbit and two packages of snacks, and asked in surprise, "Who delivered this so early in the morning?"

Just now she heard some noise at the gate of the courtyard and knew that the second son's wife was outside, so she didn't rush out. She didn't expect that the old man had collected so many things in such a short time.

The old man in their family is the head of the village and receives a monthly allowance. The eldest son is a teacher in the town, and the second and third sons are all good workers. Their family lives a very good life and can eat meat from time to time. No one would complain about having too much meat, right?

This rabbit weighs at least 15 to 18 kilograms, and there will be 4 to 5 kilograms left after processing. It is really fat. And those two packages of snacks, you can tell from the packaging that they are pastries from Wuweizhai in town, they are not cheap.

When the head of the village saw that his old woman was asking about it, he briefly told Wang about the conversation between Lin Chuyi and him.

Wang put down what she was doing, took the rabbit and snacks, and couldn't help but sighed, "I've seen this Lin family's fourth daughter twice before. At that time, she didn't like to talk. She was skinny and timid. She didn't have any energy at all. I didn't expect that she is quite capable."

"Alas, she has been forced to this point. If she doesn't make some changes, the whole family will have to wait for death." The head of the village sighed.

"Who says it isn't?"

Wang nodded in agreement with her husband's opinion, and suddenly laughed out loud as if she had thought of something.

"The Lin family also said that the children were unlucky. In my opinion, the Lin family was the one that was specifically designed to bring bad luck to them. Look, they just left the Lin family and they found ginseng, caught wild rabbits, and met a noble person. How lucky must they be to have all these benefits together?"

When the head of the village heard his wife mention the Lin family, he snorted with disdain.

"Everyone in the Lin family is a black-hearted person. They ruined the reputation of their own nephews and nieces just to get a bigger share of the family property. They are not good people. It's better to divide it now to avoid entanglement in the future."

"Old lady, I think these children have good character. Since we have accepted their things, we should take better care of them in the future. Also, don't tell anyone about the children buying a house, so that those short-sighted people won't come after them again." The head of the village instructed.

Wang gave the head of the village a blank look, walked forward to take the rabbit and snacks from the head of the village, looked at them carefully before speaking.

"Do you need to tell me that? I won't bother you. I see this is a male rabbit and it can't give birth to cubs, so let the second son's wife kill it and make soup with it in the evening to nourish the whole family. I'll put the snacks in the cupboard and share them with the children when they come back in the afternoon."

"Well, you decide."

The wife has always been the one taking care of household affairs. When the head of the village heard the old woman's arrangement, he had no objection and agreed to it without hesitation.

After the discussion, the couple went about their own business.

After Lin Chuyi finished his work, he went straight home. On the way, he did not forget to add ten kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of flour into his backpack. If the siblings asked him about it, he would say that he had exchanged them with the villagers. It happened that he had money in his hands, so he could make it up anyway.

When Lin Chuyi got home and pushed the door open, she found that the two children had woken up and were sitting on the mat crying, their little faces covered with tears and snot.

Lin Chuyi felt a headache when he saw this. Why was she crying again?

"Why are you crying?"

When the twins heard Lin Chuyi's voice, they stopped crying. After looking up and confirming it was her, they stood up in surprise and tried to hug her.

When they were one step away from her, Lin Chuyi put her fingers on their foreheads, one in each hand, to prevent them from getting closer.

"What are you doing? It's so dirty. Are you going to wash my clothes? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't cry all the time. I don't like hugs and cuddles."

After being shocked by her call, the twins stopped rushing forward and stood there looking at her with an aggrieved look on their faces.

Lin Cheng couldn't hold back and spoke first: "Sister, when we woke up in the morning, we couldn't find you anywhere. We thought you didn't want us anymore. We were so scared that we cried."

Lin Wuyou grabbed the hem of Lin Chuyi's clothes with her clean hands: "Second sister, we will wash our own clothes in the future, please don't abandon us, okay?"

Lin Chuyi suddenly realized that she had wanted to let them sleep a little longer since they were still asleep.

If she went to the headman's house at that time, the people there probably hadn't eaten yet, so it wouldn't be awkward for her to go there, and she could just come back after she was done.

I didn't expect the two children to wake up so early, be so worried, and feel so insecure.

She sighed and patted their little shoulders reassuringly.

"I just went to the village head's house. I didn't abandon you. Children should act like children. If you think too much, you won't grow taller."

"As for clothes, you can wash them yourself if you want. When our well is connected and water is more convenient, we will let you wash them. Now go wash your hands and face, and then come over for breakfast."

The brother and sister went to wash up obediently, and Lin Chuyi began to prepare breakfast.

Peel the sweet potatoes, cut them into pieces, add two handfuls of white rice, put them into a ceramic pot, add water and cook them into sweet potato porridge. The sweet sweet potatoes and the crystal white rice make the porridge soft, sweet and very appetizing.

With sweet potato porridge as the staple food, Lin Chuyi took out the buns left over from yesterday and heated them up again.

We ate a lot of meat at the restaurant yesterday at noon. By the evening, the brother and sister had less desire for meat buns and focused all their attention on the snacks they bought later.

Yesterday, Lin Chuyi put away half a pound of peach cakes and half a pound of pea yellow that he was going to give to the head of the village into the space, then he unpacked the remaining snacks and asked the twins to take out some to taste.

Lin Chuyi was also eating. As she ate, she watched the two children arguing in front of her about whether the jujube and yam cake was tastier or the cloud cake was tastier.

The portions of pastries were quite large. Even if they only tried a little bit of each, the two children's stomachs were already 70% full after eating six kinds of snacks. As a result, the buns and steamed buns that were originally bought for rice were not eaten much.
