Chapter 220: The Lively Life After Arriving Home
The Lin family was bustling all afternoon. The villagers would hang out at the village chief's house and then come to the Lin family, with the main purpose of joining in the fun on both sides.
Taking into account that they had all come back from a long journey, Old Lady Lin took her little girls Taohua and Erya to the kitchen and graciously cooked half a pot of brown sugar eggs.
After eating and drinking their fill in the warmth, Grandpa Lin stopped the person who came to inquire about the matter and asked Lin Xiaoniu and his group to go and rest on the kang.
"The kang is now heated. You can go to sleep first. If there is anything, we can talk about it when you wake up." The old man directly drove Uncle Fang and Uncle Chui to the kang.
Fang Cuihua and Guangdan, on the other hand, were full of energy. Seeing that most of the villagers had left, Grandma Lin grabbed Guangdan and walked towards the kitchen.
"Grandma, slow down, don't trip!" Guangdan looked at the little old lady who was walking briskly and shouted with some concern.
"Shut up!" Grandma Lin roared fiercely in a low voice, and then stopped when she reached the kitchen.
"Let me ask you, why did your mother bring back two strangers, and two babies?" Grandma Lin asked with her eyes wide open and a fierce look in her eyes.
"Hehehehe, you asked the right person. These two people were not brought back by my mother, but by me." Guangdan said with some pride.
At this time he knew that he should shoulder this matter. If this was his idea
Even if grandma was angry, she would have to limit herself, after all, he was her grandson. But if it was Fang Cuihua who did it, then there would be complaints later.
"Don't say good things for your mother!" Grandma Lin rolled her eyes at him. Even I knew that look in her eyes!
"I bought a lot of medicinal herb seeds in the city. The old woman came here to teach us how to grow herbs. She also knows some pharmacology. To be honest, it's no problem for her to be a doctor in our village." Guangdan explained honestly.
"Then how much money did you give them?" Grandma Lin asked directly to the point.
"Please listen to me. This old woman has a miserable life. She has lost all her family members, and only has two little granddaughters. I met them now. I thought how much can these little girls eat? We can just take care of them. As long as we can grow the herbs well, we won't have to worry about not being able to feed the three of them. So, it doesn't matter what the money is. Our family will provide them with food and accommodation."
After Guangdan finished speaking, he winked at Erya and Xiaogu who were eavesdropping on him.
Although Grandma Lin was skeptical about this matter, she didn't know what to say when she saw Guangdan's sincere look.
He even forgot to ask about his best friend's affairs and sent the man back to the main room.
The old lady also had some selfish motives. She thought that both she and her husband were in poor health. If the old woman really had some skills, it would be good to have a doctor at home. If she had a headache or fever, she wouldn't have to go out to see a doctor.
It also saves the money of going to the town to see a doctor, right?
As for the identity of Mrs. Wu, this was the unified statement that Guangdan and Fang Cuihua had discussed on the way. Apart from the old man who was in charge of the family, there was no need for anyone else to know too much.
For the next half afternoon, Guangdan was blocked in the study by Goumao, Goudan and Yaya. They talked endlessly about things in the capital city, and the little ones asked him all kinds of questions without getting tired of it.
Guangdan was roasting over the charcoal fire while happily answering the questions of the little ones.
Although it was a freezing cold day, Guangdan was sure that these little guys had a good first impression of the city.
When the little ones had asked almost all their questions, Guangdan suddenly remembered that there was one important thing he had not learned in time.
"Do you know how my second uncle and second aunt are doing in the county town?"
As soon as Guangdan asked this question, he saw Goumaoer next to him became energetic again!
The little guy sat up straight at once and said proudly, "My parents also asked people to bring a lot of things home! There are also cakes and maltose!"
"The braised meat shop hasn't encountered any trouble, right?" After asking, Guangdan shook his head. How could these little guys at home know about these things?
So he found an excuse to sneak away to see grandma again. In the afternoon, grandpa and dad would be entertaining guests at home, so the only people Guangdan could ask were the ones in the kitchen.
I learned from Grandma Lin that the braised meat shop was indeed coveted by someone, but fortunately it ended without any danger and in the end the disaster was resolved with money. Even if it doesn't eliminate the trouble forever, at least there won't be any problems in the short term.
The key figure among them is Mr. Wu from Lijia Village.
Guangdan felt relieved when he heard that nothing was wrong with the braised meat shop. Sooner or later, his uncle and aunt would encounter these problems in their business. Only those who have the ability to solve these problems can stand on their own.
Besides, they are just a small stall and they really don’t encounter any exaggerated business wars.
Dinner was a welcoming banquet. Although the chef, Second Aunt, was not at home, the food was still very rich, half meat and half vegetables, with some exquisite pickles. The key was that it was also served with rice. Although it was not pure white rice, it was enough to make Guangdan feel very satisfied.
After eating and drinking their fill, Uncle Fang and Hammer took the opportunity to say that they were going to wash up and go to bed, leaving the time and the main room to the Lin family who still had a lot to say.
Naturally, everyone knew what they meant. Lin Xiaoniu and Gouwei, two grown men, immediately scooped up hot water and started to serve them.
After settling these two, all the Lin family members except the second wife and her husband gathered in the main hall.
"Is everything okay this time?" This time the old man asked Fang Cuihua. Although he had heard several people say it in the afternoon, he still asked Fang Cuihua worriedly.
"It went very smoothly, except for the heavy snow on the way back. Everything else was smooth." Fang Cuihua said honestly.
"Xiao Niu, are you going to take these goods to the county town tomorrow? Are you going to sell them before the New Year?" Grandpa Lin looked at his little son who was still laughing foolishly beside him and asked with a frown.
"Leave some of it at home. We'll get up early tomorrow to reorganize the goods, and then we'll have to settle the bill." Lin Xiaoniu said this and became happy again.
Finally, it was time to settle the bill! He had also silently calculated in his mind that he had made a lot of money this time. Although he had to share it with the Fang family, it was still much more profitable than being a peddler!
"Well, this?" Grandpa Lin finally raised his chin towards Mrs. Wu and Tiezi, waiting for an explanation.
"Grandpa, this Grandma Wu is here to help us grow herbs. Next year, I plan to plant herbs all over the mountain land at home. I brought all the seeds back. This little brother is called Tiezi, and he is here to keep me safe."
After Guangdan finished speaking, the old man raised his eyes slightly, but before he could open his mouth, he heard the voice of his boss.
"Nonsense! That's just nonsense! Bang!" Along with the shouting, there was also the sound of Lin Daniu slamming the table in dissatisfaction.
"I'm still here, your father?" Old Master Lin growled in a low voice in annoyance, which calmed down the angry Lin Daniu.
But the pair of bull eyes still stared at Guangdan with dissatisfaction, and then turned to Fang Cuihua.
He didn't know why, but he was happy that they came back, but he felt a little unhappy when he saw his wife and son!
He may not know that he is jealous in his heart! Jealous of his wife and son!!
