Chapter 262 The Old Man Is Here (2)
Although it is not a big deal to be a scholar, looking at the entire Anping Town, there are only [-] scholars this year, so the news of the two brothers of the Lin family who are Qizhong scholars is still unknowingly. It spread to the ears of many people and became the talk of some people after dinner.

Lin Xiaoqiao has often heard recently that the guests in his shop bring up this topic during meals, and some of the guests who are already familiar with him will even come to ask about it.

Naturally, Mrs. Li and the others would not deny it, so when the guests learned that the two young talents who were on the list this year were the two young masters of the Lin family shop, they would sincerely congratulate them.

Not only that, but Lin Xiaoqiao carefully discovered that the number of customers who came to eat at the shop had increased a lot recently. She really didn't expect that the fact that the two were selected as scholars actually boosted the shop's business invisibly.

For this matter, Mrs. Li also specially increased their pocket money to the two brothers Dalang Erlang, plus the red envelopes given by Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Li this time, the two brothers can be regarded as a small fortune.

Seeing the bulging purses of the two elder brothers recently, Lin Xiaoqiao felt extremely 'jealous', and wanted to find an opportunity to blackmail the two brothers, and cheat some of the money in the purses of the elder brothers. .

In fact, the two brothers, Dalang and Erlang, have long since noticed that their little sister has a little bit of scheming in their hearts.

The two of them are also from the bottom of their hearts, they love this little sister, and in order to prevent their little sister from making a move, they really know the way, and they will lose more at that time, so the two brothers are very conscious, from their own He took out part of the money from his pocket and handed it to Lin Xiaoqiao, saying that he was grateful for the meticulous care of the younger sister.

Lin Xiaoqiao was very happy to receive the money, and because the two brothers were so self-conscious, although the money was definitely not as much as the money she got from extorting herself, she reluctantly accepted their wishes.

Just when their family was immersed in joy, they didn't know how the news spread to the village. In the past two days, folks from Shanglin Village often came to the shop in twos and threes to congratulate.

Moreover, the news spread to the old house unknowingly, so this morning ten days later, Mr. Lin came to the door.

Mr. Li went directly to the shop. At that time, Li Shi and Lin Xiaoqiao were not in the shop, so Shunzi took him to their house.

"Dong dong dong—" The mother and daughter of the Li family were sitting in the same room chatting and doing embroidery work to pass the time, when they heard a knock on the door.

The Li family didn't take this knocking on the door seriously, and there were not one or two people who came to congratulate them these days, so they thought that maybe someone else came to congratulate them.

"Mom, our house has been a bit lively recently. Look at the people who come to congratulate you every day. It's really annoying. Do you want to get up and go take a look?" Lin Xiaoqiao smiled half-heartedly. Said as if complaining and half joking.

Mrs. Li also found it a bit annoying. Ever since her two sons were selected as scholars, the town and the village had never stopped congratulating them.

Recently, she also stayed at home and didn't go to the shop in order to avoid leisure, otherwise she would have to spend a lot of energy just chatting with people she knew and didn't know every day.

After hearing Lin Xiaoqiao's words, Mrs. Li also replied in a helpless tone: "Oh——I never thought that so many people would know about your two elder brothers being admitted as scholars, and there are also So many unrelated people came to congratulate me. At first, when someone came to congratulate me, I felt very happy and honored. But later, more and more people came here, so I had some tricks. I can't stand it anymore, my head hurts from being so annoying all day long!"

After Mrs. Li finished speaking, the two Lin Xiaoqiao sisters couldn't help laughing...

"Didn't mother look forward to it all day long that the two elder brothers would be successful and honor the family, why are you bothered now?" Lin Xiaoqiao began to play tricks on his mother again.

"You stinky girl, you've learned to make fun of your mother, really—" Li Shi pretended to raise her hand, threatening her little girl.

Lin Xiaoqiao knew that Mrs. Li was pretending to scare herself, so she also pretended to hide behind her sister Lin Xiaoxi, with a playful smile on her face.

Lin Xiaoxi was finishing the finishing work of a pair of embroidery, so being pushed and pushed by her little sister, she didn't dare to stitch, fearing that if she accidentally made a wrong stitch, the embroidery would be ruined.

"Little sister, stop making trouble, sit down quickly, my sister is finishing up!" Lin Xiaoxi hurriedly pulled his little sister out from behind, and pushed her to sit on his small chair.

Then, she said to Mrs. Li: "Mother, I really don't want to take a look. This guest has come to the door. It's not good if we don't go to receive him!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Li replied indifferently: "It's okay, Aunt Lu is here. If we know someone, she will definitely bring him in."

While talking here, Aunt Lu actually led the man over, and she shouted through the door: "Ma'am, the old man is here!"

Granny?Who?When Li's mother and daughter heard this title, they were still a little overwhelmed. It seems that there is no such thing as an old man in their family.

It was Lin Xiaoqiao who reacted quickly, and immediately realized how sacred this old man is. Seeing that Mrs. Li still hadn't turned his head, she said, "Mother, it's Grandpa."

"What, what is he doing here?" When Mrs. Li heard that Mr. Lin was coming, her first reaction was to frown, looking very disgusted.

Lin Xiaoxi also stopped her embroidery, looked at her little sister, then at her mother, and said, "Don't worry about what he's here for, since they're all here, let's It's not good to hide and not go out to see each other!"

Mrs. Li also knew such a reason, but she instinctively resisted Mr. Lin. After hearing what her daughter said, she got up and said, "Oh—let's go and have a look together!"

So, the mother and daughter got up and went out together, and met Mr. Lin who came to the door for some reason.

After Mr. Lin entered, Aunt Lu took him to the main room. After serving tea and taking a seat, Aunt Lu came to call for the three mothers and daughters.

"Eunuch, why are you here?" Mrs. Li didn't know how to greet Mr. Lin, so she said like this.

After hearing this, Mr. Lin paused while holding the teacup. His tone sounded so awkward, as if he was particularly unpopular.

This daughter-in-law, when she saw her father-in-law, actually asked such a sentence, and the two granddaughters didn't say hello to him, and didn't even say "grandpa".
