Chapter 248

What else can I think?Either they want to secretly learn how to make tofu, dried tofu, or yuba, or they just want to steal things when they can.

"I have to trouble everyone to pay more attention to this. My mother and I can't go back every day. The workshop belongs to all of us, and it is everyone's loss if something is missing. This must be made clear to the villagers and let the big guys help us keep an eye on it. .” Dong Bao laughed.

Lin Fu nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said to Li Shi and Dong Bao: "Speaking of which, a few days ago, a daughter-in-law from Da Liu Zhuang came to look for Qiu Xia, saying that she was Dong Bao's cousin and wanted to come to the workshop. Going to work... Qiuxia said that the daughter-in-law looks clean and tidy, and can speak well, but if it is a relative of the Song family, wouldn't it be better to ask you directly? Qiuxia was careful, and said that she was full of people, so she didn't answer. "

"It's Yinsheng's daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law of Dongbao's aunt's family." Li Shi sighed.

Ever since Aunt Song insisted that Mrs. Li adopt Da Mao with a tough attitude, the two families fell out, and there was no contact with each other. Yinsheng's wife is a shrewd person, and she definitely wants to make money, but she has to talk to Mrs. Li and Dongbao. She didn't feel ashamed and didn't say anything, and she was worried that she would be rejected outright, so she went directly to Qiuxia.

"Don't worry about her." Dong Bao shook his head and said, "If the workshop is short of people, first choose someone you can trust in our village."

Even if she pulled Aunt Song's family, Aunt Song might not thank her. In the eyes of others, Old Man Song's family is her real relatives.Dong Bao had a pretty good impression of Aunt Yinsheng who was used to talking and talking, but because of Aunt Song's relationship, let's forget it, so as not to get rid of the trouble.

In a blink of an eye, it will be August [-]th. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival can be regarded as the first festival for the new family after Mrs. Li and Mr. Yan get married, and after the festival, Lin Shi will go to the county town to take an exam. Both of them want to spend the festival well. .

On August [-]th, Mrs. Li didn't go to the shop to help, and she and Dongbao were busy at home for a whole day, steaming and frying, until the afternoon, two tables of noodles were cleaned up, and the wine was bought by Mr. Yan from Anzhou Good wine, one tael of silver per jar.

At night, with the bright moon hanging in the night sky, the two banquet tables in the yard were full of people, lively and lively, one table for men and one table for women.

Before the banquet started, Liang Zi had already been dragged out by several aunts to give lectures. First, Mrs. Liu dragged him out and told him to watch Mrs. Liu and not let his old man drink too much. It was Mrs. Li who pulled him to tell him, and in the end Zhang Xiuyu blushed and asked him to drink less, which made the young man who was almost 20 years old so beautiful that he was already drunk without drinking.

"Don't worry, auntie, I'll take care of everything!" Liang Zi patted his chest and promised all the aunts and aunts very carefreely. As for whether those guys can stop the car when they get drunk, he really can't control it as a young man.

The female guests also filled up the wine, but everyone can't drink it. One drink for each person is enough, and it's enough.

Until the middle of the moon, the men's side was still busy playing the game of boxing and drinking, and the women's side Aunt Qiuxia looked helplessly at the blushing Lin Fu, and said: "I really can't control it, I just like to drink that Two mouthfuls of cat urine!"

Li Hongqin laughed, and persuaded: "These men are usually very busy, and it is rare for them to get together for a drink, so just leave it alone."

When the guests were full, they said goodbye one after another and left. Qiuxia and the others had to go home at night. Fortunately, the moonlight was bright at night, and the night road was not difficult to walk.

Before leaving, Lin Fu was blushing, slurring his speech even when he was drunk, and he was still cupping his hands to thank Master Liu, "Master Liu, without you, Dashi will definitely not be able to make it this year, no matter what he gets in the exam , I, as a father, thank you for him! You are his mentor! You are the benefactor of that kid!"

Mrs. Liu also smiled drunkenly, and was supported by Mrs. Liu, and said with a smile: "Don't thank me, I just taught him because I like your kid, if it's someone else, I wouldn't be happy!" She reluctantly took Lin Fu's hand, wanting to have another round of drinking.

"Okay, don't talk about it, it's so late, I have to hurry home!" Mrs. Liu was annoyed and funny, she slapped Master Liu's hand away, said goodbye to Aunt Qiuxia, and helped Master Liu gone back.

Lin Shi held Lin Fu by his arm, a little dumbfounded, turned around and searched in the crowd, and sure enough, he found Dongbao.Under the moonlight, the little girl's lips were red and her teeth were white, her eyes seemed to be flickering like a pool of clear spring water, and she was looking at her with a smile.Lin Shi's heart immediately warmed up, he smiled at Dong Bao, and helped Lin Fu out.

After everyone had left, the courtyard immediately became deserted. After a busy day, Li Shi and Dong Bao didn't bother to clean up the table leftovers in the courtyard.

"The ones with a lot of leftovers will be brought into the kitchen first, and will be cleaned up tomorrow." Li said.

Dong Bao and Xiao Xu stepped forward to clean up the dishes, put together the dishes that could be combined first, one picked the dishes, and the other collected the empty dishes, the siblings cooperated tacitly.

Mrs. Li went to the stove to boil water, preparing to make honey water for Mr. Yan to drink.

"Where's dad? Are you very drunk?" Dong Bao asked.

Li smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I just said that I couldn't bear the dizziness, so I fell on the bed and slept."

This is also the point that Mr. Yan makes Li's heart happy and satisfied. Mr. Yan is not without entertainment on weekdays, but he falls asleep after getting drunk, and at most wakes up once or twice to ask for water. He will never go crazy like Song Xiucai.

On the night of the fourteenth, the moon was hanging in the sky, and the path under the moonlight was clear. Lin Shi and Quanzi supported Lin Fu's arm alone, and the family of four walked slowly on the way home.

"Dashi, I heard from your mother, Xiuyu, that you have to prepare a pen case or something to hold pen and ink in the examination room, right?" Aunt Qiuxia asked with a smile, "I'll sew one for you when I get back."

No one thought that Lin Shi would end up in the talent test this year. They all thought that he would have to wait until next year at least. After all, he had only studied for one year before and dropped out of school for so many years. It would take a while to pick up again.

Aunt Qiuxia also murmured secretly, thinking that her son was too hasty to take the exam so soon, and if he failed the exam, the child must have suffered setbacks and felt uncomfortable, but Lin Fu was full of confidence, saying that Mrs. Liu supported his son to take the exam. wrong!To say that Lin Fu has confidence in Lin Shi, it is better to say that Lin Fu has confidence in Master Liu.

"No need." Lin Shi said with some embarrassment, "I already have one."

"There is one?" Aunt Qiuxia was surprised, and asked, "Where did you get it?"

Lin Fu, who was a bit drunk at the side, said with a smile, "What do you call this?! Girl Dongbao must have made it for him!"

Lin Shi's face turned red, but he couldn't see it clearly under the cold and white moonlight.

Aunt Qiuxia laughed loudly, "Go home and let mother see."

"I want to see it too!" Quan Zi shouted hastily.

Lin Shi has always been calm and generous, but now he is a little awkward, "What's so interesting...it's just a bag..."

After returning home, Lin Shi was forced to hand over the bag that Dongbao sewed for him under the "threat" of Aunt Qiuxia and the coaxing of Quanzi. There are a few leaves, and a black thick rope is used to close the mouth. It is simple, but it makes people feel clean and comfortable, just like Dongbao.

"Hey, Dong Bao still has the heart, that child is kind and righteous." Aunt Qiu Xia smiled and returned the bag to Lin Shi.

Lin Shi nodded with a smile, took the bag, and was about to go to the kitchen to fetch water to wash, when Aunt Qiuxia stopped him again and said to Lin Shi: "Dong Bao and Dong Bao's parents are interested in Your family is kind, even if you fail the exam this year, there will be no changes in your marriage, so don't push yourself too much..."

Aunt Qiuxia thought about it, but she didn't know what else to tell her. She had seen her son's hard work in studying for more than a year, and she was afraid that his son would be too impatient, but Lin Shi had always been prudent. Lao Cheng, she said many things again, but it seemed long-winded.

"I know, mother." Lin Shi patted Aunt Qiuxia's hand with a smile, "I know it in my heart, that is, if I don't make it this year, and next year, how many people will win right away?"

After August [-]th, Lin Shi went to the county with the master and students of Wenfeng Academy. Lin Fu was very worried about his son who was traveling for the first time. He wanted to send Lin Shi there, but Lin Shi politely refused. .

"Several masters have led us there!" Lin Shi smiled, "I will follow them, and the master will arrange food and lodging, so you can rest assured."

Lin Fu felt rather uncomfortable, feeling that he was unable to do anything about such a big matter in his son's life.Since he was not allowed to send it away, Lin Fu asked Aunt Qiuxia to prepare more money for Lin Shi to take with her.

"Why did you use so much?" Lin Shi couldn't laugh or cry, his father planned to evacuate all the property and let him take it with him!
Lin Fu stuffed the money bag back into Lin Shi's hands, "Poor family Fulu, don't you bring more, what if there is an emergency on the way? Is it possible that I have to ask my wife and classmates to borrow it? It's not like there are no one at home."

Lin Shi smiled and said: "Didn't you and your mother want to find another place to build a house? Let's keep it. I don't feel at ease with so much money on me."

The Lin family's house is small, and as he and Quanzi get bigger and bigger, there is not enough space, and the Song family next door has a small quarrel every two days and a big quarrel for three days, the Lin family has long thought of changing the place, just for a while It was Lin Fu and Qiu Xia who worked all day long to provide for their two sons to go to school, and they didn't have enough money to build a new house.

"It's not in a hurry." Lin Fu shook his head and smiled, "You and Quanzi have both gone to town, and it will be the same when the house is built in two years."

In the end, the father and son struggled for a long time before Lin Shi agreed to bring a tael of silver to go on the road. This was the standard that Mrs. Li paid for Song Bai to go to the county seat for the exam last year.

Of course, Song Bai also went to the county to take the exam this year, because he was no longer a student of Wenfeng Academy, and the masters would naturally not be kind enough to take him to the exam, so he went on the road alone.
