The whole family crosses to farm

Chapter 111 Returning to the Village
In a house in Yuetan Town, Mrs. Lin was instructing her eldest daughter-in-law, Fang Yunxia, ​​to tidy up the yard. When Lin Jiaju appeared at the door, Mrs. Lin's eyes instantly moistened.

"Jiaju," shouted, Granny Lin stepped forward to support her son, seeing his thin body, tears rolled down like a gate, "You have suffered."

Looking at his mother's gray hair, Lin Jiaju felt sore in his heart, knelt down and said, "The unfilial son bows down to his mother."

Woohoo, there was a burst of heart-rending crying in the yard. Old man Lin stood beside him, wiped away his tears, looked outside the door, and asked, "Where's the second child?"

"Second brother has gone home." Lin Jiaju said.

Mrs. Lin quickly asked her son to stand up, and shouted at Fang Yunxia angrily: "Go and get a stool for my son."

Fang Yunxia ran into the house and came out with a stool in her arms. Lin Yuan'er came out after her mother. When she saw her father, tears fell from her bright eyes before she could speak.

"Father," Lin Yuan'er yelled suddenly, and rushed over to stand in front of his father.

Seeing that her daughter was fine, Lin Jiaju heaved a sigh of relief, but seeing that her little child was much thinner than a month ago, her nose felt sore again.

"Father, my grandmother and grandfather won't let me into Fang's house anymore," Lin Yuan'er whispered, "They still beat my mother, saying that my cousins ​​are like that because of our family."

Lin Jiaju said: "They are right, we are the ones who got involved, Yuaner, don't hate your grandparents' family."

Lin Yuan'er couldn't help but pouted her lips, and another string of tears fell from her eyes, and said in a low voice, "My daughter knows."

"Brother, will they still be able to study in the future?" Lin Yuaner asked again.

"How many Xuan'er brothers are there?" Lin Jiaju asked his parents.

Old man Lin said: "I sent me to study in a private school in this town. Does your matter affect the children's imperial examinations?"

"Let's read it first," Lin Jiaju smiled, since Zhang Bian came to the throne, the world will not be stable. Although Xuan'er has reached the age of ending, there is no need to rush this moment.

"Father, is sister Nong'er back?" Lin Yuan'er's voice cut in again.

This sentence reminded Mrs. Lin, and she also asked nervously: "The girl was really sent to the brothel? The second child who ruined the family style just brought her home like that?"

Lin Jiaju looked serious, and said: "Mother, how can you say that? My niece has suffered from our family's troubles. Besides, she is only three or four years old, what are you talking about corrupting the family style? Besides, Fucheng The second son of Zhang Xiang's family stayed there for more than ten days, what is there to ruin the family style?"

Mrs. Lin didn't want to be bullied by her eldest son, so she was taken aback for a while before she said, "Is what I said wrong? Our family is not only her, but also Yuan'er."

"Mother, let me ask you, those people wanted to take away Yuan'er and Nong'er, why was Nong'er taken away but Yuan'er was fine?" Lin Jiaju said, "Did you guys know something earlier? What do you want the second brother and his wife to think about?"

Mrs. Lin regretted thinking of this, and patted her legs and said, "I never expected it to be like this. On the day of Shangyuan Festival this year, I went to the temple to draw a lottery. A stand-in. At that time, I should have thought that what she does as a child can cause life and death, and it’s not because our family is going to have problems, I didn’t expect to remind you.”

Lin Jiaju listened, pinched the center of his brows unconsciously, and asked, "This is the end of the matter, so let's stop talking about it. Mother, have all our family's assets in Lin County been confiscated?"

Mrs. Lin looked out. Since the last time the house was searched, she was a little nervous. She asked Fang Yunxia to close the door, and then said in a low voice: "There are two other shops that are not under my name. I haven't dared to enter these days. City, I don’t know that the shopkeeper is honest, you just came back, go and have a look.”

"You have come back, this matter must have been investigated, so will not return any of our family's property?" Old man Lin asked.

Lin Jiaju said: "Before I came back, I met with County Magistrate He, and said that I could get half of it back, but it would definitely be a loss compared to half." Seeing his parents talking, he didn't mention the matter of going to southern Yunnan, he just said: "I I will stay at home for a month or two to make proper arrangements for the family affairs."

The Lin family couple still didn't know that the elder son's disaster was completely framed by the eldest princess, and they heard that half of the money would be paid back, and they all showed joy.

Old man Lin thought that his son would be successful only if he was wandering outside, and he didn't ask where his son was going. He just said, "Thanks to your second brother, you can rest at home for two days. You can buy some gifts and send them to Yishui Village."

When Mrs. Lin heard the words, she immediately lowered her face and said, "That son has been completely bewitched by his wife now, what are you looking at?"

Old man Lin also sank down, "Now only the second brother can support each other with his elder brother. What do you want to do if you don't let the two brothers move around?"

Old lady Lin snorted coldly: "Why don't you mention your concubine sons at this time. Before they were released from prison, no one else said a word, but their brothers bit them hard."

Before the words were finished, the door was pushed open, Lin Jiaquan poked his head in with a smile, saw Lin Jiaju, immediately straightened up and walked in, pleasantly surprised: "Brother, you are back."

Mrs. Lin stared at her daughter-in-law, why did you close the door?
Fang Yunxia was wronged, and you didn't let the door be locked.

For this fifth brother, Lin Jiaju didn't show any face, and said with a smile: "The fifth brother is also in Yuetan Town? Come and sit down."

"It's not just me. The third brother and the fourth brother also came here after they were released. The second brother has a good business in Yuetan Town and has many friends. We are not excluded at all here."

"That's fine."

"By the way, second brother didn't come back?"

"He took a few children back to Yishui Village, and he will be home by now."

At the same time, Lin Jiale had indeed brought the three children with him, and came to the outside of Yishui Village like five passes and six generals. Like the previous villages, there were also people standing guard outside Yishui Village.

The terrain here is higher than that of Yi County. At the beginning, the river did not come too much, but it completely receded after two days. The villagers stayed on the mountain behind them for two days. Although the houses in the village were damaged, everyone in the village No major losses were suffered.

More importantly, a crop with a large yield appeared in Yishui Village, sweet potatoes, which were bought by Lin Jiale from the south and overseas people, and Mrs. Lin was so generous that she didn't hide anything, and distributed it to the village. Several.

People in the village have a good relationship with each other, and now they are planted by every family, and some are even distributed to relatives. After all, this thing is very good to grow and survive.

There are very few people who are ungrateful. Seeing Lin Jiale leading a horse with three children on it, followed by a strange-looking dog, the guard hurried forward to greet him, and shouted with a smile: "Second Master, you I'm back."

There was a shed at the entrance of the village, and Chen Yaoguang, who was sitting there eating melons, heard the voice, and quickly got up and came over, seeing Lin Jiale with a smile on his face: "Second Master, you have been out and about for half a month now, and the family matters can't be dealt with." draw?"

"It's over," Lin Jiale said with a smile, "Yaoguang is guarding the entrance of the village."

Chen Yaoguang: Although we are not the village head, who sees that we are not polite?Except for the elders, anyone of the same generation who dares to speak is a Yaoguang.

But, who made himself incompetent.

Chen Yaoguang immediately laughed and said: "Yes, you don't know if you are not in the village. The past two days have been chaotic. There are always exiles whose families were destroyed in the flood. There are too many of them. I dare not let them enter the village casually. We have more than ten people in this area. All the villages have discussed it, and if any place is washed up by the victims, the other villages will send a few strong men to help."

After talking at the entrance of the village for a while, Lin Jiale led the horse into the village. Yishui Village was still the same as usual, with chickens crowing and dogs barking. Compared with the situation outside, it was a paradise.

But Xanadu also has troubles. After passing the big well in the center of the village, I saw a group of people gathered there.

Many people had sad faces on their faces. When Lin Jiale saw it, his heart skipped a beat, and he said to the three children: "You guys come down first, I'll go and have a look."

A person sitting on horseback has to keep the rein empty, and if he starts to run, it will be fatal.

The three of Lin Chunnong were also concerned about the water issue, and got off their horses obediently one by one.

Lin Jiale didn't care about the horse, dropped the rein casually, and walked towards the circle of people at the mouth of the well.

"Can't get water?"

The villagers who heard the voice turned around and saw that it was Lin Jiale, they were a little happy, not only thinking about the sweet potatoes scattered by Lin Jiale's family, but also thinking that he was really the most promising person in the village.

Seeing that the borehole is drying up, Lin Jiale, a well-informed person, has come back, maybe he can find another way.

"I fetched water this morning, and it was able to slowly return a bucket, but now it's dry," he said.

"The village head is leading people to continue digging down. It has been digging for more than two hours,"

"Look, what comes out is such a bagful of mud and sand." Another person came over with a bag full of wet mud, his face full of sadness, "This won't really be a severe drought."

An old man with white hair and beard stood in the first circle around the well, and said: "I said that this year, the movement on the side of Qixing Lake is unlucky. "

"Father, what do you think?" Chen Jinming's voice came from the mouth of the well, and he came out, sat on the edge of the well, untied the rope around his waist, and said, "It's not good to have flowers but no fruit. It is a symbol of this year’s results, which is a good meaning. Think about it, this year’s incidents have happened again and again. If Brother Lin’s family hadn’t moved in, our village would have to think about what to eat this winter. .”

After finishing speaking, Chen Jinming said to Lin Jiale: "Second brother, you are back. If you don't mind bothering me at night, I will bring a few people to your house to discuss the current water shortage."

What I said just now was to explain the misunderstanding caused by his father's saying that the apricot fruit is not good. The apricot tree that did not bear fruit before ended in the second year after the Lin family moved in. This is not the reason for the Lin family. ?Saying that the apricot tree did not bear fruit, isn't he blaming the Lin family?
Don't think it's far-fetched, old man Chen's words are likely to be misunderstood, so what Chen Jinming said is also to block the possibility that if the situation does not improve in the future, the villagers will pile their grievances on the Lin family.

After Lin Jiale heard this, he naturally felt that Chen Jinming would be a man, but he put half of the burden of water shortage on his shoulders, what does it mean?
Seeing that this group of people were all looking at him eagerly like Chen Jinming, they were all people who had never been out of the county, Lin Jiale couldn't say anything else, and said: "Okay, there is a big mountain behind us, really You can't form a team to find water in the mountains, and you can't die of thirst."

Lin Jiale said so, and these anxious villagers felt a little relieved. They also thought of going to the mountains to find water sources before, but which of the people who have never entered the deep mountains is not afraid of the beasts inside?

The second master Lin, who traveled all over the world and even went to Beirong, and managed to get people to send so many carts of cashmere, must have medicine or bows and arrows that scare wild animals, and he must have kung fu on his body.

With him around, the young people in the village would be much safer following them into the mountain.

Fang Xiaocao rubbed her twitching left eyelid. Zhao Yingmei, who was making shoes next to her, glanced at her and asked, "Is your eye uncomfortable? I saw you rubbing it many times this afternoon."

Fang Xiaocao picked up the clothes in her hands and continued to sew slowly, "It's not uncomfortable, the left eyelid has been twitching since this morning, I don't know if there is something going on."

Zhao Yingmei stretched out her hand and chased away the small flying insects that gathered with the twilight. Inside was a sleeping baby wearing a tiger head hat. This child was born in July, and the full moon After that, she often took it out with her.

So much so that now, at dawn, the child doesn't stay in the house at all, and sleeps in a bright place.

Glancing at her son, Zhao Yingmei said with a smile on her face, "You have a left eye, and the left eye must be a good thing."

Fang Xiaocao smiled and said, "The best thing for me now is that all four of us come back."

Hearing what she said, Lin Qiumo was also counted, Zhao Yingmei felt emotionally, the Lin family is really real, it's reassuring to be with such people.

It's not like some people who say they are beautiful, but they still fool people with their pretty words when it comes to actual things. If they don't help, they don't want people to hate and think the other party is good.

Zhao Yingmei has seen a lot of people like that, and to be honest, she dare not suffer at all.
