The journey back was much faster, and when we separated from Ouyang Zhi in the county, Lin Xiaoshu galloped back on his horse.There are many people coming back this time, and there are more and more servants in the family. It is very troublesome to do things without means of transportation, so the Lin family not only added an extra carriage, but also bought a few horses, and all the nurses came back on horseback.

From a distance, I saw a large group of people standing at the entrance of the village. Just after arriving at the entrance of the village, the sound of "cracking" firecrackers sounded, and the people headed by Lin Huaiyi, Lin Huaide and the patriarch all came forward to welcome them.Several people hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, went forward to bow down, and said: "The unfilial children are back."

With tears in their eyes, Lin Huaiyi and Lin Huaide stepped forward to support them: "Okay, okay, come back." A family of four children was admitted to the scholar at one time.

With a wave of the patriarch's hand, several young men came up, cross-tied the big red flowers in their hands to their chests, and walked around the only two streets in Linjia Village a few times, beating gongs and drums.

Lin Zimo couldn't laugh or cry when he saw that he looked like the bridegroom on TV.But looking at the blushing faces of the elder brothers, who went around to thank the villagers, the complacent look suddenly relieved.yes!People have always said that if wealth and honor do not return home, it is like traveling at night in brocade clothes!Although the Lin family village is not big, and the talents are not very high, it represents the efforts of several people.It represents the recognition and respect of the villagers. At this time, it is the motivation to spur several people to be more upward, and no one is qualified to laugh at it.

There were a lot of people watching the excitement. Lin Zimo noticed that many people did not know each other. Looking carefully, it should be villagers from other villages who came to watch the excitement. This aroused the enthusiasm of the people in Linjia Village. Only circle.

After finally returning to the door of their own house, grandma and mother were waiting at the door. Grandma was wearing a red satin coat with blessings and longevity patterns that she didn’t usually wear. Lin Fu’s family carefully supported her. Collaring the robes, the two of them are full of pearls and emeralds, smiling all over their faces.Younger sister Lin Yu wore a pink silk dress, with a few small pearl flowers on her hair, her skin was fair and delicate, she stood there with Lin Xiaomiao, she looked like a lady.

The newly bought maids and servants stood behind them with low eyebrows.The auntie and Lin Yun were full of sour faces, jealously scanning the servants around him from time to time, and they didn't even notice that their own son Lin Ziwen was by his side.

Everyone entered the yard lively. There were dozens of busy people in the yard, and several cooking tables were set up on one side of the yard. Lin Huaide laughed and shouted: "Everyone, hurry up, and you won't be drunk tonight." Most of these people were busy with the red case (people who were busy when they married their wives) in their villages, and they agreed with a loud voice.

Although he had only been on the road for a few days, Lin Zimo was still a little sluggish. He was held by his grandmother and walked all the way back to the hall, and he didn't have to socialize like his brothers.Everyone in the village looked at his black and yellow face covered with potion with pity. The child used to look quite fresh. Who knew that he would go out to study and not work in the fields, so his face became more and more ugly. Otherwise, relying on the county As the youngest scholar in the family, she will definitely be able to marry a lady from a great family in the future.

Lin Zimo didn't know this, and when he and his grandma arrived at the house, Xiao Miao immediately served a bowl of bird's nest porridge with rock sugar, and Xiao Yan came up to help him roll up his sleeves with a wink. Lin Zimo ate carefully, quenching his thirst with relish Hungry, he smiled and said, "Grandma, when did our family start to have these things?" Although rich, grandma and mother still don't have the self-consciousness of a rich family, and they are still very frugal at ordinary times, and they don't even think about these extravagant things.

Grandma smiled and rubbed his back affectionately: "Our family's sorghum wine has been brewed with a high concentration. The second master of Ouyang's family said that there is no such strong wine in the whole country. When he took it away, he came over in person. Come on, let’s increase the amount of stuffing, these are all sent by him, and there are more, grandma will slowly cook for you to nourish your body, and see that you have lost a lot of weight.” Said, eyes Red up.

Lin Zimo put down the bowl and took grandma's hand: "Grandma, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after two days of feeding. You can eat these things too." Grandma nodded, smiling with tears in her eyes: "Okay, okay, we Eat them all, anyway, the family has a lot of money now, and when I turn back, even your elder brothers will cook some to replenish their health." These grandchildren have won her honor, and it's not pain in her heart, but the youngest grandson is the one she misses the most.

"Hey, mother-in-law, please give some to my family's Ziwen, he is also your grandson, and he is very tired from studying." After saying this, the fat aunt, mother and daughter walked in, wrapped in old purple cocoon silk shirts , a thick layer of pimples was touched on Dabing's face, and when he spoke, it fell down, and there were still round, red rouge on both sides of his cheeks. At first glance, he looked like a bone spirit mom.

And Lin Yun, who was following behind, was dressed almost like her mother except that her shirt was bright red, and she shyly flung a pink handkerchief, very self-confident as a talented younger sister.

"Pfft..." The bird's nest porridge spewed out from Lin Zimo's mouth, and a series of coughing sounds came out. The mother and daughter were so funny, they didn't pay attention just now, what is going to happen now?I don't know if I don't do this, it won't look so ugly?

Xiao Yan hurriedly stepped forward to pat Lin Zimo, and Xiao Miao wiped the floor clean with a rag.The aunt covered her mouth with a handkerchief in distaste: "Is Zimo so good? Are you so surprised that I asked your family to order some bird's nest for your brother to eat? Are you so reluctant?" Lin Yun behind him also did the same thing, using his handkerchief The son covered his mouth and turned his eyes to him.

Hey, Lin Zimo was almost dying of coughing and laughing. He decided that, for his own sake, he should give up some money, and waved his hand to Xiao Miao: "Bring a pack of bird's nest and a pack of rock sugar for my uncle." At that time, there was no white sugar, only brown sugar and rock sugar. Because of its rarity, the price of rock sugar remained high.

Grandma handed him a bowl of water distressedly, and gouged out the mischievous eldest daughter-in-law: "Don't walk around all day, make some delicious tonics for the two of you at home." The uncle twisted unwillingly. Fat body: "Oh, mother, I am a person of status now, and there is an old mother who is hired at home, so I don't need to work." Saying this, I took the bird's nest and rock sugar handed over by Xiao Miao, twisted and carried my daughter, and the mother moved Walked all the way.

Lin Zimo laughed again, he had never seen such a strange pair of mother and daughter before!Turning around to ask grandma: "What's wrong with my aunt?" Grandma sighed: "She always does this these days, saying that she is not only a scholar lady, but also the champion lady in the future, and she is waiting for Ziwen to earn her imperial order for him! Tian didn't do anything, and took Yun'er for a stroll around. He didn't know where he learned it from, and he even put on airs, saying that he wanted to find a good guarantor to drink!

Fortunately, the uncle's family does not live in the village, and he will return to the county after a day or two of worship at the ancestral hall. Otherwise, such a fly-like character will not hinder you, but it will disgust you to death.

The form of worshiping the ancestors was very solemn, the door of the ancestral hall was opened wide, and rich offerings were placed. All the men of the same clan stood outside the door. Under the guidance of the patriarch, Lin Zimo and the others solemnly bowed down to the ancestral tablet with incense , copied another copy of the identity badges of several people, and burned them to the ancestors to show that they have won honor for the family.

The next day, Lin Zihao and Lin Zihan went back to the county to study. Lin Zimo was not in good health, so he rested for two days. Although Lin Ziwen wanted to go to study with them, but the Lin family knew that they didn't have that much face in front of Mr. Chen. In desperation, Lin Zihao thought of a way, promised to give him a copy of the reading notes pointed out by Mr. Chen after a period of time, which can be regarded as repaying Lin Ziwen's previous love, and then sent the family away.

It took another two days for Lin Zimo to rest, and followed Lin Huaide to turn around the land at home.The few people in the family don't care how Lin Zimo's exams are going, as long as he lives well and learns to take care of some common affairs.

I haven’t been back for more than a month. The field next to the house is thriving. Most of the fruit trees are growing well, and the small alfalfa is green. In the few acres of land surrounded by fences, the grown chickens and ducks screamed loudly. The pond on the acres of land is covered with lotus leaves, and small fish jump out of the water from time to time.

Lin Zimo asked, "Father, did you sterilize the water with quicklime before diverting it?" Without disinfection, the fish will easily get sick.Lin Huaide nodded with a smile on his face: "Okay, the feed mixed with chopped alfalfa, bran, and bone meal is also very popular with fish, and it grows very quickly."

The earth hill next to the pond has been compacted. Go up the first-level steps paved with bluestone slabs, and build an octagonal pavilion on the top. The base is made of blue bricks, and the top of the pure solid wood is supported by four thick wooden pillars. , red pillars and beams, depicting flowers and plants, sitting on the stone bench inside, and then put a pot of tea on the stone table, looking at the surrounding scenery, tsk, don't be too moist these days!

The farm's fields are well planned, and wheat, corn, soybeans, sweet potatoes, etc. are neatly planted. The wheat seedlings are already as tall as an adult's calf, and with sufficient fertilizer, they are growing green.Lin Huaide stroked the wheat seedlings, as if he was petting a child: "Zimo, with enough fertilizer from the pig farm, this year's wheat can grow two hundred catties more per mu. This is something that Dad never thought of. Worrying about not enough fertilizer, I can't think of this way.

Lin Zimo said with a smile: "It's because our family doesn't have the conditions to come up with this method. Dad doesn't have to blame himself. I think Dad is managing it very well." Speaking of this, Lin Huaide blushed: "If you say Dad is here You can’t talk outside, and you’re familiar with the work routine.” Pointing to the land where corn and soybeans were interplanted, he said with emotion: “Look at this, according to your method, the corn is growing well, and the soybeans are growing well, and it seems that the crops are also growing well. Space is needed."

Lin Zimo smiled: "It's all because of Dad's good management." Walking to the sweet potato field, pointing to the squeezed leaves, he said: "Father, the sweet potato leaves can't be so dense, cut off some appropriately, and leave some for them too." There are gaps, the fruit in the ground grows bigger, the cut sweet potato leaves are the best for raising pigs, and the tender part can be cooked and eaten.”

Lin Huaide was surprised: "Can people eat it too? I thought it would be good to grow strong like this." Lin Zimo affirmed: "It can be eaten, and it is also nutritious. I will pick some and take it home later when I go home."

I looked at the pig farm again, and it was running very well. There were rows of clean pig houses, and lively piglets were running around. The women who raised pigs wore tight sleeves, and their fat trouser legs were also tied up with strips of cloth. , looked very neat, and said to the accompanying Zhuangtou: "That's it, you must keep the piggery clean, and sterilize it with quicklime in a few days. If you find any pigs wilting, you must not hesitate to isolate and observe immediately." " Zhuangtou nodded again and again: "Yes, I remember the words of the third young master."

In short, Lin Zimo was quite satisfied with everything, so he bid farewell to his family and was sent to the county school by Lin Huaide.
