Farmer's Favorite

Little face flushed, Xiao Yi actually knew who this old aunt was.

After all, she should still be his mistress.

Zhang Gu's did laugh immediately, she said: "It's Xiaoyi, come in quickly, your wife is inside."

Looking at her, she seemed to know Xiao Yi.

After being welcomed into the courtyard, Xiao Yi immediately saw Master Zhang standing by the door with his hands behind his back, with a serious expression on his face, making him speechless at all.

Master Zhang looked at him, then at the two people behind him, and said in a deep voice, "Come in with me."

Zhang Gu shoved him with a slight smile, and said, "Come in, I'll greet your family."

Xiao Yi glanced at him, thanked him in a low voice, and walked into the house.

There was a smile on Zhang Gu's face from beginning to end. She entertained the guests in the room to sit down, and prepared tea and pastries. She was a little afraid of the timid face Shuang'er said: "You are Xiao Yi's mother, right?"

Wenzheng raised his eyes, then lowered them quickly, and said weakly, "Xiao Yi, Ah Mu."

Obviously different from ordinary people, Zhang Gu seemed not surprised. She picked up a piece of pastry and handed it over, saying: "Xiao Yi is a good boy. In fact, his wife has long known about the existence of this child. It's just Xiao Yi. If he didn’t say it, he just pretended not to know.”

Mrs. Zhang Gu also had a smile on her face when she said it. The first time Xiaoyi eavesdropped in the school was not hiding in the house, but quietly staying outside the door. He listened to it for a few days. For some reason, there was a conflict with that child Yu Ning, and the two of them fought a few times. Unknowingly, they felt that they had become good brothers, so Yu Ning helped Xiao Yi hide in the school.

She went on to say: "Speaking of which, within two days of Xiao Yi's hiding, his wife found out. The reason why he didn't chase him away is because the child is too sensible and is indeed a good material for studying. He goes to school every day and waits for someone to leave. Afterwards, Xiao Yi would show up in the school to clean it secretly, and when I found out about it later, there was more chopped firewood outside my house from time to time, and sometimes there was an extra pheasant and hare.”

Speaking of this, she suddenly smiled slightly, "You may not know that when I opened the door at the time, I suddenly saw it, but I was quite frightened. It was only after my old man came back that he realized that Xiao Yi had secretly sent it."

Wen Zheng didn't know if he understood, but when he saw the old aunt smiling, he also laughed.

Wu Tingyi listened, and with the contact during this period, he really felt that Xiao Yi was very sensible and compassionate.

He looked sideways at Wen Zheng who was eating cakes and smiling beside him. He thought, even Wen Zheng was not like this at Xiao Yi's age. Unsmiling, serious and very rigid.

Wu Tingyi was still thinking about it, when he heard Zhang Gu asking him: "I know that Xiaoyi has an aunt, but I don't know who you are?"

Wu Tingyi sighed slightly, he said: "I am Xiaoyi's uncle."

Zhang Gu nodded when he heard the words, feeling a little puzzled in his heart, regardless of this person's attire, but just from this outstanding face, one can tell that this person is definitely not a native farmer.

It's just that she is not qualified to take care of other people's affairs.

After chatting for a few more words, Xiao Yi went out with a happy expression on his face. He suppressed the excitement in his heart, waved his hands and said: "Master asked me to go to school tomorrow, and my seat is next to Yuning."

It is a great joy for Xiaoyi to be able to sit in the same place with the students from the gap of clutter.

……

In Xishan Village, there was also a person who felt that he had heard a great happy event.

Village head Lin couldn't sit still at this time, he stood up excitedly, and asked again to confirm: "What you said is true?"

Zhuang Xinyan nodded, "Of course it is true. If there is no accident, someone will come to discuss the bridge repair tomorrow. What do you think the bridge should be repaired, village chief?"

With a look of joy on his face, Village Chief Lin was a little undecided.

According to selfishness, it is natural to do whatever is good. After all, this bridge is really important to the village, and it is the only way to go to and from the village.

However, the village is too barren, and some families can't eat enough. Who would pay to repair the bridge? Time to fix it.

In this way, if you can walk, you can walk.

But there is no way to transport something that is too big and too heavy.

It's like Zhuang Xinyan built a house before. If it wasn't for the excellent materials he bought, how could the seller be willing to let the workers carry them into the house himself?

After thinking for a while, Village Chief Lin asked back, "How do you think it should be repaired?"

Zhuang Xinyan did not answer directly, but said: "The reason why shopkeeper Yuan of Bafang Pavilion is willing to spend this money is because I will have business dealings with him for a long time in the future. If the bridge road is difficult, it will be difficult for him But it is very laborious."

Village head Lin nodded when he heard this, which is true.

Although he still doesn't know what Zhuang Xinyan's business is for harvesting eggs, but he heard someone mention it today, that shopkeeper Yuan sent people to carry it back and forth several times before he carried the basketful of eggs to the outside of the village .

Thinking of it this way, he admired Zhuang Xinyan more and more. Look how long it took, and he has already started business with the shopkeeper of Bafang Pavilion.

At the same time, he also knew that if it wasn't for Zhuang Xinyan's fault, how could the shopkeeper of Bafang Pavilion build a bridge for their small village for no reason.

Village head Lin said solemnly: "In any case, our village really has to thank you very much. First, you led the villagers in the village to earn money, but now you have even solved such a big problem."

Zhuang Xinyan smiled slightly, and said: "They are all from the same village, so there is no need to say more. If I were to say it, I would naturally choose it. I will discuss it with the people from Bafang Pavilion tomorrow and see what they mean first. It’s good if they are willing, but if they don’t, the rest of the money will be shared by people in our village, after all, this bridge is the foundation of our village.”

Village head Lin nodded in agreement.

If you want to build a bridge, you can repair it with a few taels of silver, or a few hundred taels of silver.

They don't ask for the most expensive ones, but if they really want to last for more than a hundred years without breaking, they need at least three or forty taels of silver.

If Bafang Pavilion is willing to give half of it, then their village can afford the rest.

There are about a hundred households in Xishan Village, and each household pays more than 100 Wen, which is ten taels of silver.

If it is said that in the past, it must not be possible to get out the money, but now it is possible to get out the money by squeezing your teeth.

In this way, he said: "Okay, I will do as you said, I will go to contact the people in the village, and we will discuss it together."

Zhuang Xinyan also nodded, and didn't stay any longer, and left with Lin Qi.

Village head Lin called the people in the village to discuss, Zhuang Xinyan did not go, but stayed in the house, discussing something with Lin Qi.

He said: "Grandma Ma's hut was blown like that by the strong wind and rain yesterday. Even if it is rebuilt, I am afraid that this winter will be difficult. When I came to the village as a wanderer, it was just an accident to save the old village chief, but the old village chief It has helped me a lot, and I want to take over Grandma Ma to take care of her, what do you think?"

Lin Qi's face was filled with joy immediately, and he nodded quickly: "Of course it's good. Speaking of which, I owed him a lot of favors when the old village chief was alive. Later, Grandma Ma turned to me and Lin Qi. Dong Du is excellent, if I take her over, I am very willing."

His father is confused, his uncle is an idiot.

If the old village head hadn't been suppressing him back then, Lin Qi didn't dare to think about what his future would be like.

Not to mention, the old village chief has been thinking about the village all his life, and he has helped many people secretly.Grandma Ma willingly endured Lin Wenjue's treatment so that the old village chief would not be blamed by her ancestors for being underground, but on the other hand, if the old village chief was underground, the only person she couldn't let go of would be Grandma Ma.

Lin Qi went on to say: "We don't have any elders in our family, and we have a lot of houses. It's just in time to bring Grandma Ma here, so we can have more companions."

Zhuang Xin extended his hand and touched his cheeks. In fact, before discussing this matter, he had thought that Lin Qi would not refuse, but would even be very happy.

Just like that, the two came to Grandma Ma's hut again. The hut that collapsed last night had already been erected at this time, presumably it was the hands of other villagers in their spare time.

Lin Mashi was drying her wet clothes at this time, she grinned her teeth and waved, "Hurry up, I have something good for you to see."

As she said that, she didn't care about drying her clothes, she turned around and went into the hut, when she came out again, she was holding a small wooden box in her hand, and she said as she walked, "Although I suffered a crime last night, but I let you Found a lost treasure."

After she finished speaking, she opened the box, and what was in it was not gold or silver, and it had nothing to do with the treasure Lin Ma said. It was just a wooden hairpin that looked a little old, and even moldy in some places.

The style of hairpin ornaments is also very simple.

Ordinary, you could even say, inconspicuous.

However, Mrs. Lin Ma didn't dare to take it with her hands. She smiled and said, "The old man made this for me himself. He picked up this piece of wood from the mountain. I'll do the math. I'll at least give you the wooden hairpin." I have carried it with me for ten years, but it is a pity that I moved too suddenly, and I forgot where I put it, I did not expect to clear things today, but I cleared them out."

Lin Qi went to look, and he had some impressions of this wooden hairpin, "I remember when I was a child, Grandma Ma always had this hairpin on your hair."

"Isn't that right? The old man is good at his work. He has done a lot, but this one is the only one that is useful."

Zhuang Xinyan felt a little sad when he heard it, so he said, "Grandma Ma, there is some green mold on it, how about I clean it up for you."

Who knows, when he said this, he received two blank eyes.

Grandma Ma's face was a little strange, she said: "Boy Zhuang, you are young, but your eyes are not good. How can this be green mold?"

Lin Qi also looked at him holding back a smile.

Zhuang Xinyan took a closer look, only to realize that the green thing was not green mold but the natural grain of wood, and he couldn't help feeling sad.

At this time, Lin Qi explained their intentions.

Without any surprises, Madam Lin waved her hand, and she said: "No, no, I know what you guys think, but I have been staying in this place for several years, no, nothing has happened, so you can rest assured."

Lin Qi was a little helpless, so he turned his eyes to the people around him.

Zhuang Xinyan said like this: "Grandma Ma, you also know that there are no elders in our family, and I have been homeless for so many years. I don’t even know why the red eggs came.”

His words are true. No one taught him in his previous life, and he never thought of learning it. After all, he was alone all year round. Even if he learned it, he couldn't use it somewhere.

But now, he wants to learn, but there is still no one to teach him. There is someone to accompany him, but Lin Qi only knows a thing or two about some things.

An old house where a treasure.

This sentence is very correct. After all, after all these years of being older, there are many customs and habits that young people will not know at all.

Lin Mashi frowned upon hearing this, and did not respond.

And Zhuang Xinyan followed up and said: "Let's not talk about it now, when Lin Qi and I have a child in the future, we will have no way to deal with the newborn child."

Lin Qi also grasped Grandma Ma's hand tightly at this time, and nodded to her.

After a while, Lin Mashi sighed softly and said, "Let me think about it, let me think about it again."

In this way, Zhuang Xinyan and Zhuang Xinyan didn't say any more, chatted with Lin Mashi about other things, and then returned home.

Until the next day, people from Bafang Pavilion came to discuss the bridge repair. Zhuang Xinyan didn't join in the fun, but handed it over to Village Chief Lin. The same will come out, but it will not be fully assumed.

It's not that the money can't be taken out, but it's completely unnecessary.

After all, this village is not his responsibility alone.

Pick out the boiled bones and put them in a bowl aside.

"Wow, woof, woof." The cry still sounded a little anxious.

During this time, the charcoal cake has grown a lot in size, from the size of two palms to three.

The biggest change is that it is obviously not very big, but now it can climb over the threshold. The charcoal cake in the whole house can come and go freely, unless the door is closed, otherwise it can go wherever it wants.

The place where it appears the most is not its small nest, but the main house.

Zhuang Xinyan glanced at it, and said to Lin Qi with disdain: "Lin Wuzhu's Dahei went to find food by himself, why does his son have to be fed?"

Lin Qi smiled and said nothing, but he could tell that although he always disliked it, Zhuang Xinyan definitely loved charcoal cakes the most at home, and the dogs from other families were either sent away with leftovers or they went to find them by themselves. What I ate, but their charcoal cakes, actually had boiled bones, and what I ate was white rice, or white rice soaked in bone soup.

This is not something he is used to, even if he pampers the charcoal cake, he is reluctant to part with it.

But it was spoiled by this person who was disgusting in his mouth.

No, Zhuang Xinyan, who had just finished feeling disgusted, saw that the bone was no longer hot, so he held it in front of the charcoal cake.

Little Charcoal Cake frantically wagging its tail, gnawing on a bone is very cute.

Zhuang Xinyan looked at it and didn't say anything, he had to touch it twice, and said after touching it: "This dog is so stupid, I don't know if someone else cheated it with two bones."

"That's not true." Lin Qi said immediately.

Among them, no one is really willing to cheat a dog with two bones.

The charcoal cake gnawed on the bones, and the two couples watched it lively, but at this time there were shouts from outside.

Zhuang Xinyan stood up and looked, and it was Lin Wuzhu who came.

Because the house is too big, the people inside are called out.

Zhuang Xinyan simply opened the door during the daytime. If he had something to do, he just walked in and said it, and he was not afraid that anyone would have evil intentions. After all, Zhuang Xinyan, who was supported by half of the village, those bad guys A person with a heart has a heart but no guts.

Of course, Zhuang Xinyan is not afraid of the most important thing.

When Lin Wuzhu saw someone, he didn't go any further. Instead, he stood by the inner door and shouted, "Zhuang Xinyan, did my Dahei come over yesterday?"

Some time ago, Dahei came to feed the charcoal cake from time to time, and he came three times a day.

However, this is all before going to Xingcheng.

During the period, the charcoal cakes were raised by Lin Baocheng, and Dahei also went to his house.

Zhuang Xinyan said, "I haven't seen it for two days. Did you go to the village chief's house?"

"No, Dahei knew that Charcoal Cake came home. I took it outside to identify the door the day before yesterday." Lin Wuzhu was a little impatient. He saw Dahei lying outside the door early yesterday morning. He was too tired to visit Dahei's den, but when he got up today, he didn't see Dahei's figure, even now his family members didn't see him either.

He waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll go to the village chief first."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Zhuang Xinyan was not in a hurry, because Lin Wuzhu said before that Dahei often ran out, and even the charcoal cake was conceived by a wolf when he went to the mountains.

"Woof, woof, woof." The cry of the milk sounded again, and the charcoal cake hadn't even finished eating the bones, so it ran towards the door with four short legs.

Immediately, Zhuang Xinyan stepped forward, picked up the son of a bitch, raised his brows: "So unbehaved? No one will look for you if you run away."

Charcoal raised her ears, although she didn't struggle, she kept barking.
