Pastoral affairs

As usual, they went to the Lin family with their things on their backs. The Cui Wei brothers and sisters could be regarded as the big stars of the Lin family in recent years. Naturally, the gatekeeper would not stop Cui Wei, but rather let her in very politely.When Cui Wei entered the room, she handed a few pieces of toffee to the gatekeepers, which made them smile even more flatteringly at her, and someone even took Cui Wei to see Steward Lin in person.

Manager Lin was talking with people at this time, when he saw someone leading Cui Wei in, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face, waved at the people in the room, and sent them out, then Signal Cui Wei and the others to come in.

"Girl Cui, what did you bring here?" Cui Wei has been bringing food to the Lin family for a long time. Although she is familiar with Manager Lin, Manager Lin is usually a busy person. Obviously, only when she brings fresh food, Manager Lin will meet her in person, and deliver the items to the masters of the Lin family, and he will bring the rewards.Now that he asked such a question, the boy who brought Cui Wei in realized that he had accepted the candy to please Cui Wei and was impulsive. He couldn't help but lowered his head, stuck out his tongue, and slipped away quietly. go out.

Cui Wei had already made preparations for this trip, and naturally she would not be as guilty as the boy thought in her heart. She took the cake out of her back and handed it to Manager Lin, saying: " Uncle Lin, I have made something new, and I brought it here for you to taste, besides the one for Madam, there is another one for you, Uncle Lin!" She said while pretending again. A jar of jam about the size of a palm was taken out and placed in front of Steward Lin.

The jar looks unremarkable from the outside.But Lin Guanshi has known Cui Wei for several years, and knows that the objects that this little girl uses to store things may not be very delicate, but the food that can be brought by her is good, even the madam also likes it on weekdays. He didn't stop talking, he really liked it himself, so he was not polite to Cui Wei, but smiled as he opened the cloth strips tied on the cake, and laughed: "I'm looking for something good, but I have to taste it." Taste." He just finished speaking.Then he saw the light yellow, transparent and crystal-clear jam sticking to the cake and the square-cut fruit pulp, and was stunned for a moment.

"Uncle Lin, try it!" Cui Wei saw him take a deep breath, her eyes lit up, and she immediately handed over the spoon she had prepared.Steward Lin took the things she handed over, scooped some cakes into his mouth without hesitation, the soft cakes were wrapped in cream.A thin layer of jam was spread on top, and three different flavors were sent into people's mouths at the same time. Manager Lin couldn't help but patted the table and said hello, took another bite of the cake, and then nodded .Cui Wei was relieved to see that he liked it.Steward Lin is also very picky on weekdays.Now even he likes it so much, which proves that his own jam will not worry about the ancients not liking it in the future.She smiled and handed over the handkerchief, and said:

"Uncle Lin, the little jar I gave you is the jam. You eat it first. If you finish eating, tell me later. I'll bring it to you again!"

Steward Lin kept nodding his head, and ate up the cake in Xiaolanzi in two or three strokes.Then he took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and while regaining his previous indifferent and calm image, he said: "Girl Cui, I'm not being polite to you either. I don't know how you made this thing. It's delicious. It's our snack at home." The cook still can't make your dim sum, so why don't you come to our Lin's house to make pastries for Madam?" He sounded like he was joking, but in fact, Manager Lin and Cui Wei had more than just talked about it once or twice. It's just back. Every time Cui Wei heard him say this, she just smiled and didn't answer. Steward Lin also knew that she couldn't force her. After knowing him for so many years, he also knew Cui Wei somewhat. An ordinary country girl is actually a bit arrogant, and besides, she can already earn a lot of money by sending snacks here, so why would she invest in her own family as a servant, so he just mentioned this. Wei didn't speak, so she gave up.

Unsurprisingly, these cakes with jam were really liked by Mrs. Lin's family. When Cui Wei left the Lin mansion again, she already had the ten taels of silver brought by Manager Lin. The price of the cake, relatively speaking, the money paid by the Lin family is indeed a lot in the eyes of outsiders, but compared with those of Nie Qiuran's classmates, it is actually not that much. In the Qinhuai place alone, the cake given every time is very high. It's five taels to ten taels of silver, I don't know how much more than what the Lin family gave, but Cui Wei gradually lived a better life by relying on the Lin family at the beginning, she is not the kind who doesn't know what to do, so she still does it every time. She bought the cake and sent it over, not trying to earn a lot of money from the Lin family, but just to repay the kindness that Manager Lin had done for her.

When the two brothers and sisters came out of Lin's house, the beggars who had been surrounding the Lin mansion all rushed forward with bamboo poles in their hands, raised their bowls to Cui Wei, and shouted loudly: "Miss and uncle, send some as you like!" !" Cui Wei would go to the Lin Mansion every time she went to a big market, and these people knew it well, but Cui Wei usually came to the town to buy and sell things, and the clothes she wore were old and dirty. , these beggars only think that she doesn't have much money in her hand, and Cui Wei has a good relationship with the Lin family, so generally few people come to trouble her. Cui Wei didn't give these people copper coins this time, but took A bag of cakes given by Manager Lin came out and took some and handed them to the beggars, and everyone was not disappointed, but thanked them repeatedly with some surprises, and then they returned to their original places in satisfaction.

This is the practice every time when you leave the Lin Mansion. These people are all guarding outside the Lin Mansion. If you give a round of copper coins, they will crowd around you and ask for money. There are no copper coins, but they just want to hang around the Lin family and just wait for food and drink. They are also happy when Cui Wei gives some cakes. The cakes in Lin's house are not always available, and only when Cui Wei comes. Give some to these people, she didn't take any money, and everyone just thought she had no money, and ate the cakes she gave, and the doorkeeper of the Lin family had a good relationship with Cui Wei brothers and sisters in recent years.It will help them to some extent. Under various circumstances, Cui Wei's reputation among these beggars is quite good. Compared with many people who are swarmed up and caught asking for money as soon as they leave the Lin Mansion, the two brothers and sisters Cui Wei can It is extremely difficult to come out safely and with a good reputation.

After dismissing these people with cakes, Cui Jingping took his sister and went to the mountain goods store. This time he was lucky.After I bought honey, I told this honey seller that I would find some more honey to sell next time. Many men who sold dried mushrooms and other things next to me heard this in their ears, and many people recognized Cui Wei who came here often The little girl who bought honey, a person who sold unknown herbs rolled up the thing in front of her cleanly and held it under her arm.At the same time, she walked over to Cui Wei, and after the honey seller carefully moved the honey into her back, she said with a simple and honest smile: "Little girl, I don't know if you want more honey from this bee." No? If you want more, I’ll bring you some next time you go to the market.”

Cui Wei looked back at the man.The man appeared to be about 30 years old, his face was tanned by the sun.After being sized up by her like this, she felt a little embarrassed, quickly stretched out her hand and scratched her head, and laughed a few times honestly.Cui Wei was overjoyed, what she lacked now was honey, if someone could bring it to her, she would naturally be happy.So when this person said it, she nodded quickly: "If uncle has honey, just bring it next time. I want as much as I want, and I will give it to you at the same price!" As soon as she said the words, many people immediately Feeling alive, the man nodded hastily, not even selling herbs, turned around and left happily.

This time I made some money, at least I had some money in my bag, making up for some of the money I just spent, Cui Wei felt more at ease.She seems to be rich now, but in fact she doesn't have much money on her body. Some of them are exchanged for houses or land. Now there is not much left on hand. The pineapples can be harvested for another season at most. Selling, the cake shop seems to be in good business at present, but she is actually a little nervous about what happened. Even if the cake shop finally made money, but she has no silver taels in her hand, she always feels a little uneasy. Today, she collected ten taels. Anyway, I was relieved.

With Cui Wei's promise to buy honey, there were several more honey sellers in the market again. Fortunately, Cui Wei and Cui Jingping usually go to the town to buy things, and they both carry a belt on their backs, so they packed the honey in a safe way. After returning home, there is no shortage of honey now, and there is plenty of pineapples. Cui Wei went to the iron shop in the town to get the iron tools for peeling pineapples that she had ordered in advance. It took half a month to return to the house. , Cut the pineapples in the field and cut them clean!The house was full of jars, and it was early September.Nie Qiuran and others have already finished their exams, but he hasn't come back yet, so he should be waiting for the results to be released. Mrs. Nie in Xiaowan Village has already quit his job as a teacher in the county, and is concentrating on staying at the school. Xiaowan Village is waiting for Nie Qiuran to come back with news.

On the eighth day of September, one day before the Double Ninth Festival, Cui Wei, taking advantage of the fact that the weather had not completely cooled down recently, took the sheets and bedspreads and took them to the river ditch for washing. Then I met Yang and a group of people who came back with Cui Jingzhong in their arms. Everyone had beaming smiles on their faces. Kong stood in the crowd with a shy look on her face, but she has been married for several years now. She has the habit of touching things to subsidize her natal family on weekdays. In order to clean her up, Mrs. Yang asked her to do things on weekdays. Even if she is a little white flower, after a few years of tossing, she has become a trumpet flower. The face was gone, replaced by slightly yellow skin, even if he was still dressed, he was dressed in coarse cloth, and his expression was a little uneasy. Standing next to Cui Jingzhong, who was wearing brand new blue clothes and had a cold and arrogant face, he looked suddenly Just a few years older than him. (To be continued.
