After dressing as a widow

Chen Xing hung Huang Yuwen's package on his shoulder first, and agreed with Wang Qin: "Yuwen will stay here. This horse has a gentle temperament and will not lose his temper easily. You just need to hold the rein."

When he parked the carriage, he purposely parked the carriage close to the ridge by the river. There were some tender grass growing around the ridge. The horse was now gnawing on the grass with its head down, its big ears were flapping, looking Looks good.

Huang Yuwen agreed with the two of them, and took the reins from Chen Xing.

Wang Qin and Chen Xing, who took the luggage, followed Lin Zhen and soon arrived at Lin's house.

Brother Lin and the others in the yard saw the three of them, and hurried up to pick up things for Wang Qin and Chen Xing. Wang Qin and Chen Xing pushed and pushed, but they still distributed part of their luggage to them, and kept giving it to them. Brother Lin and the others said thank you.

Brother Lin took their luggage and said, "A few days ago, your Uncle Lin said that you would come to live here for a while. The room has already been packed and is waiting for you to come. The place in the house is narrow, so I can only feel sorry for the three of you to live here." A room."

"However, I carried two other beds in. If there is something uncomfortable, you must not be polite, and tell us immediately."

Wang Qin and Chen Xing shook their heads again and again, Wang Qin said: "To live here is to bother Uncle Lin and you, there is nothing uncomfortable about it."

As they were talking, Lin Zhen and Eldest Brother Lin had brought the two of them to the vacated room. This was the place where Lin Zhuzi lived. Because they wanted to come, Lin Zhuzi vacated the room, and he and Lin Shitou first Live for a few months.

Wang Qin and Chen Xing went in and saw that the room was not narrow. There were three beds side by side on the left side, with curtains drawn between the beds, and on the right side were cabinets for clothes, tables for things, shelves, and three chairs.

There are not many things, but everything has been considered for the three of them, and it can be seen that they have put their minds to it.

Wang Qin, who was a young master at home, also saw it with enthusiasm. In fact, they came to Gu Lin to study, and they were already disturbing Gu Lin. The Lin family treated them like this. .

Lin Zhen pointed to the three beds: "The three of you can sleep anywhere you want. Let's put the horse and the carriage in order first, and then come back and clean up."

"En." Wang Qin nodded, took Chen Xing to put the things on the table, followed Lin Zhen to the riverside to find Huang Yuwen, and then pulled the horse and carriage together to Aunt Ma's house in Xialiyu Village.

When they arrived, Carpenter Ma was doing woodwork in the yard, Aunt Ma and Ma Min were outside, and Ma Min was still holding the babbling child in his arms.

"Aunt Ma, Uncle Ma, Ma Min, I'm here to trouble you with something." Lin Zhen, who had a deep friendship with the Ma family, was not polite at all, and called out to someone as soon as he turned the corner.

Aunt Ma and Ma Min, the carpenters who heard his voice, raised their heads with smiles on their faces.

Seeing that they were still leading the horses, Aunt Ma opened the other half of the yard door: "Brother, come in quickly, who are these three boys?"

Aunt Ma has never seen them before, but Ma Min is very familiar with them. She walked up with the child in her arms and said, "Mother, this is Wang Qin and Huang Yuwen who came back from Fucheng together. Both of them are from the town. As for this little Brother, he should be Wang Qinyuwen's friend."

Lin Zhen introduced to Aunt Ma and Ma Min: "This child is called Chen Xing, and he is a classmate of Wang Qinyuwen and Gu Lin."

"So they are Shuanzi's classmates. No wonder everyone looks so energetic. Come in and sit down." When Aunt Ma heard that the three of them were scholars, she immediately gave her a high opinion. Everyone in the village knew that Lin Zhen's stepson Gu Shuanzi is good at reading, and now he is a scholar. If he wants to, he can accept students as teachers now.

Wang Qin, Huang Yuwen and Chen Xing hadn't heard anyone called Gu Lin Shuanzi for many years, and they couldn't react for a while. This name really didn't match the current Gu Lin.

Lin Zhen said from the side: "Auntie, we won't be sitting here. I came here to ask you if it is possible to leave the horse and the carriage at your house for a few months. If so, see how much money a month is suitable for you."

Aunt Ma waved her hand: "Let's put it for a few months, it's fine for a year or a few years. Look at such a big yard, I think it's a bit too big. As for silver, really, see if Auntie can do it." Want it?"

Lin Zhen knew Aunt Ma's temper, but he had to speak clearly: "Auntie, let's not talk about the carriage, the horse needs to be fed and watched over here, and a little bit should be given, so you can't be disadvantaged."

"You child, if you say no, don't. I can't ask for your money."

"Then I can't put the horse and the carriage at my aunt's house. A horse eats a lot of fodder every day. We can't even lose money to outsiders, let alone you." The Lin family also fed animals in previous years. I've seen Father Lin and the others feed pigs and chickens, three meals a day can't be missed, just stirring pigweed is a job.

Aunt Ma's house will definitely take care of Ma staying here, and the delay is not a day or two.

Seeing how stubborn he was, Aunt Ma had no choice but to nod: "Yes, yes, it's up to you, a hundred cash a month will do."

"My family's mule is also fed by two children in the village. A basket of grass is only four pennies. You, Uncle Ma, and I just take the grass to the pen and feed it, and occasionally add some soybeans to it. "

One hundred Wen, in the eyes of Wang Qin and Huang Yuwen, was too little, and both of them wanted to add more.

But Lin Zhen nodded: "Okay, then I will trouble Auntie and Uncle."

Lin Zhen stretched out his hand and asked Chen Xing to give him the reins of the horse, and led the horse to the livestock shed that Ma's house circled in the yard. The horse carpenter went up to help, got the carriage down, and took the horse aside to tie it. good.

The mule from Ma's house was on the other side of the peg. When it saw the horse, it shook its ears.

The horse carpenter took out a bundle of grass from the basket and placed it on the ground in front of the horse. The grass in this season was just emerging and was so tender that the horse immediately lowered its head to graze.

After finishing their work, Lin Zhen, Huang Yuwen, Wang Qin, and Chen Xing did not leave immediately, but sat on the stool that Aunt Ma brought out, playing with the children who could not speak clearly.

"Come on, call me uncle, uncle." Lin Zhen touched Ma Min's child's slippery fat face and taught him to speak.

The child was only eight months old, and it was the time when he was very sensitive to sound. When he heard Lin Zhen teasing him, his big black eyes immediately looked towards him, saying that the child's eyes had never seen anything dirty. , so bright and clear that it can melt people's hearts.

Lin Zhen, who had never had a child of his own in two lifetimes, had no resistance to a soft child, and stretched out his hand to Ma Min and said, "Sister, let me hug her, Guoguo looks too cute."

Ma Min smiled, and put his chubby son into Lin Zhen's arms: "He's had enough to eat and drink today, and his legs and feet are very strong. You have to be careful, I can't stand him kicking me."

"It's okay. If you have strong legs and feet, you will definitely have long legs." Lin Zhen hugged the child and carefully adjusted his posture so that Guoguo could rest comfortably in his arms, with two radish-like legs on his knees. .

He looked down at the child, and held up his tiny hands with flesh holes: "Guoguo, come and call uncle, when you are older, uncle will buy you a lot of candies!"

"Ahhhhhh." Guoguo moved the hand of the silver bracelet, and the small bell on it jingled, but she didn't speak.

Lin Zhen was not discouraged either, he seemed to understand Guoguo's whining sound, and fiddled with the silver bell on Guoguo's hand: "This sounds nice."

He suddenly made a fool of himself and covered the little bell on the bracelet, and kissed Guoguo's chubby face: "Guoguo calls you Uncle, and Uncle will ring the little bell for you, come, Uncle."

Guoguo, who was shaking his hands happily, stared at the missing little bell with his big black eyes, as if wondering why the little bell that accompanied him every day had disappeared. : "Woo hoo."

"Woooo."

"Hey, he's really called uncle." Lin Zhen was very happy to tease the child, and immediately fiddled with the little bell on Guoguo's silver bracelet, Guoguo giggled and narrowed his eyes when he heard the sound of the bell.

Wang Qin and Huang Yuwen next to him are all eager to try. The two of them spent some time with Ma Min and Guoguo on the road. They saw Guoguo so hungry that he could only drink the blood of Ma Min and Lin Xiaoyao. See you now Seeing Guoguo's white and fat appearance, it feels very different.

The two moved the stool closer and also went to tease Guoguo.

"Brother, Brother Wang."

However, Guoguo seemed to like Lin Zhen very much. After being attracted by Wang Qin's voice, he turned his head to face Lin Zhen, asking Lin Zhen to continue playing the game of ringing the bell with him.

Wang Qin got anxious, scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks, took off the jade pendant hanging from his waist, and dangled it in front of Guoguo.

Huang Yuwen also likes Guoguo very much, and also calls Guoguo his brother.

Children like brightly colored things, and they were soon amused by Huang Yuwen and Wang Qin. Lin Zhen hugged him to ensure that he would not slip, and looked at the woodwork in Carpenter Ma's hand: "Uncle Ma , are you doing the starter car I told you the other day?"

"Yes, Guoguo is a very anxious little fat guy. When you want to learn to walk, you don't let him go and you roll over by yourself. It doesn't matter whether the height below is high or not. Your Aunt Ma and I are afraid that we won't notice it for a while, so we should put it away as soon as possible." This starter car can be made with peace of mind.”

"This is the place, come and see if it's right, I think something is wrong." Carpenter Ma made it according to the drawings drawn by Lin Zhen, but it was the first time to make this thing after all, and there were some places where he hadn't touched the real thing. Inevitably a bit unable to turn the corner.

Lin Zhen handed the child to Ma Min, walked to Carpenter Ma and squatted down: "Let me see where it is."

"Here." Carpenter Ma pointed to the drawing.

Lin Zhen glanced at the wheel that could rotate and change direction. He immediately explained to Carpenter Ma.

After clarifying Guoguo's starting car issue with Carpenter Ma, and chatting with Aunt Ma and Ma Min for a while, Lin Zhen took Wang Qin, Huang Yuwen and Chen Xing back to Lin's house.

The three of them walked into the room specially prepared for them. There were three beds, one was against the inner wall, one was in the middle, and the other was by the window. private space.

Both Wang Qin and Chen Xing asked Huang Yuwen to choose first, Huang Yuwen looked at it and said, "Then I'll take the one closest to the inside."

After he had chosen, Wang Qin asked Chen Xing, "How about you, Chen Xing?"

Chen Xing said: "I can do it."

Wang Qin said: "There is no option that can do everything."

Wang Qin found out that Chen Xing was the grand general and left the two of them alone. How could this work? Friends had to keep in touch with each other, and there was no need for a general to take over.

Chen Xing pointed to the bed in the middle and said, "The middle one."

"Okay, then I'll sleep on the one next to the window," Wang Qin said with a smile, "We still have a good understanding, this is the bed I wanted to sleep at first."

Huang Yuwen and Chen Xing smiled, the curtain that separated them was hooked at the moment and had not been lowered, the three of them looked at each other and looked forward to the upcoming days of reviewing books.
