Ordinary happy life

Chapter 77 Celebrating

Li Damao After getting the money, he wanted to go to the county town to redeem Li Yang, but it would take at least half a day to walk from the town to the county town. Even if he set off to the county town right away, it would be dark, and he would not be able to find him by car. Car, Li Damao could only look at Village Chief Li in confusion.

Village Chief Li immediately saw through Li Damao's thoughts and was a little embarrassed about it. He really wanted to send Li Damao to the county seat, but it was a bit unethical to leave Zhang Dayong in the town like this.

Fortunately, Zhang Dayong saw through Village Chief Li's embarrassment and took the initiative to say, "Uncle Li, I can walk back by myself because I have fast feet. You can send Uncle Da Mao to the county seat." "

Thank you, Dayong. Thank you very much." Li Damao saw Zhang Dayong took the initiative to give in, holding his hand gratefully and shaking it up and down.

Accustomed to the indifference of everyone, Li Damao's sudden enthusiasm made Zhang Dayong a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, Li Damao quickly let go of Zhang Dayong's hand.

Village Chief Li originally wanted to accompany Li Damao to the county town to redeem people, but he was just worried about Zhang Dayong. Now that Zhang Dayong took the initiative to speak, Village Chief Li naturally would not refuse.

The three of them walked together to the entrance of the town and separated. Zhang Dayong walked back to Zhuangyuan Village, while Village Chief Li and Li Damao drove an ox cart to the county seat.

When Zhang Dayong returned home, Lin Qin was already standing in front of the main door and looking around. When Zhang Dayong appeared, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Why are you back? Didn't you say you'll be back in two hours at most???" Lin Qin saw that Zhang Dayong was sweating, so he quickly brought a towel for him to wipe his face, and poured a bowl of cold boiled water for Zhang Dayong to quench Zhang Dayong's thirst.

Zhang Dayong still didn't quench his thirst after drinking a bowl of water. He directly scooped up the unheated water in the water tank and drank two bowls of it before quenching his thirst. Of course, his move made Lin Qin talk about it for a long time. What he meant was that drinking raw water was not good and would cause stomach upset.

"Uncle Li took Uncle Mao to the county seat. I was walking back so I was a little slow. Here, these are the land deeds. I took a total of fifty taels of silver and spent thirty-five taels on the land. I spent twenty taels of silver on the deed, and I will give you the remaining thirteen taels. This is the certificate from the bank. I was worried that it would be bad to have too much money at home, so I gave the remaining fifty taels to the bank." Zhang Dayong was worried that Lin Qin would talk about it for a long time, so he took out everything in his arms and put it in Lin Qin's hand.

Lin Qin didn't recognize most of the words on the paper, but Lin Qin still read it carefully several times before happily folding the paper, and then found the wooden box where the money was kept, including the land deed and deposit slip. Put away all your money.

Because he was in such a good mood, Lin Qin was humming to himself while washing the dishes after lunch.

Lin Qin's clear singing voice came to his ears, and Zhang Dayong's mood became a little better. He thought that Lin Qin liked the fields so much, and he would buy some more when he had the opportunity to make Lin Qin happier.

In the afternoon, Zhang Dayong and Lin Qin went for a walk around the five acres of fields that already belonged to them. Firstly, they wanted to see what Li Damao had planted. Secondly, they wanted to know how it was growing. They were concerned about the harvest time. number.

"Dayong, uncle Mao, you bought this field for you???" Li Dacheng, whose field is next door to Li Da Mao's field, asked in shock when he saw Lin Qin and Zhang Dayong appearing in the field next door.

This is not something that cannot be known. Zhang Dayong nodded cheerfully, "Yes, I just transferred the ownership in the morning. Let's see what Uncle Mao has planted." "

Oh, in addition to planting three acres of rice, Uncle Mao has planted three acres of rice." , you have planted two acres of corn and taken good care of it, and all the farmers in this field have been left to you???" Li Dacheng suddenly reacted and looked at Zhang Dayong in disbelief. The grain in the fields can be worth several taels of silver when it matures. Li Damao is crazy if he doesn't even want it.

"Well, Uncle Da Mao asked for seven taels of silver per acre of land and said he would give me the grain in the field directly." Zhang Dayong didn't want the villagers to think that he had taken advantage of Li Damao. If he really took advantage, it was Li Damao who took advantage. . It's just that the other party's family is in trouble, and Zhang Dayong, the elder, doesn't want to care so much.

Hearing that Zhang Dayong spent seven taels of silver to buy one acre of land, Li Dacheng's initial jealousy disappeared, but he was also muttering in his heart. Five acres of land cost seven taels of silver, which means Zhang Dayong spent thirty-five taels of silver. It took me two days to buy these five acres of land. Li Dacheng took a breath of air in his heart. Why didn't he see that Zhang Dayong was so good at making money before and saved so much money quietly? If I had known earlier, I would have tried to tell him about the little brother at home. Seeing as the Lin family can now eat meat every now and then, who wouldn't know that it was Lin Qin who brought it back to his parents' family.

Although Li Damao has been trying to raise money to save Li Yang recently, the work in the fields has not been delayed. Both rice and corn are growing very well. Lin Qin and Zhang Dayong only need to come here to water every day and apply water every other day. Just be fat.

"Buying a field at home can be considered a great event. I'll cook some dishes tonight. You call Uncle Li and Uncle Mo over, and my father as well. How about we celebrate together??? Lin Qin blinked and tilted his head to look at Zhang Dayong.

"It's up to you." Lin Qin's cute look made Zhang Dayong couldn't help but reach out and ravage his head. Zhang Dayong would naturally not be dissatisfied with Lin Qin for such a trivial matter.

Since Zhang Dayong agreed, he had to start preparing the evening meal. When he got home, Lin Qin sent Zhang Dayong out to call for help, and he dived into the kitchen to get busy.

Because Village Chief Li took Li Damao to the county seat and had not yet returned, Zhang Dayong only said hello to Mr. Li and asked him and Village Chief Li to come to his house for dinner in the evening.

When Zhang Dayong arrived at Lin's house, Lin Han and others were talking about Bai Xiuniang. The hall was full of laughter and laughter.

"Dayong, why are you here? Are you okay???" Lin Dazhu was the first to see Zhang Dayong and was slightly surprised.

After Zhang Dayong and Lin Qin got married, although Lin Qin would go back to the Lin family from time to time, Zhang Dayong rarely appeared at the Lin family unless something happened. It's not that Zhang Dayong doesn't value the Lin family, but Zhang Dayong's own personality. In addition, he has to run up the mountain from time to time and has no time to come to the Lin family. Fortunately, the Lin family is also reasonable and does not have any bad thoughts towards Zhang Dayong. .

"I just bought five acres of land from Uncle Mao. Brother Qin said he wanted to celebrate and let you come to my house for dinner in the evening." Zhang Dayong said directly without any greetings.

When they heard that Zhang Dayong had bought the land from Li Damao's family, everyone was happy for Zhang Dayong and Lin Qin. With the land in hand, even if Zhang Dayong could no longer hunt in the future, they would not worry about having no food to eat. In the eyes of Lin Han and others, no matter what they do, it is not as practical as farming.

"You must have spent a lot of money. Buying a field is naturally a happy event, but a meal costs a lot of money. Brother Qin really doesn't know how to save you some money." Lin Han said with some disapproval. .

What Zhang Dayong hates the most is that someone says something bad about Lin Qin, even if this person is his father-in-law. As soon as Lin Han finished speaking, Zhang Dayong said, "Father, it only costs a little money to have a homely meal. The meat is all from me." I got it from the mountain, and I got a lot of vegetables from you before."

Lin Han couldn't tell that Zhang Dayong was unhappy that he just said Lin Qin was not good. Although there was no change on his face, he was happy in his heart. Hua, how can he not be happy that his son-in-law is protecting his little brother here?

"Sister-in-law and brother are coming in the evening, and Uncle Li has also notified Mr. Li to come with him." Usually only the head of the family goes to the banquet, in order not to put too much financial pressure on the host. Zhang Dayong was worried that in order to save him some money, the Lin family would only go with Lin and Han, so he specially invited them. Even before at Village Chief Li's house, Zhang Dayong also specially invited Li Furang.

Hearing that Mr. Li would also go there in the evening, Li Mo's face showed a hint of joy. Although they belong to the same village, unlike the Zhang family, the Lin family has no elders. Even if Lin Han didn't stop Li Mo from returning to his parents' home, Li Mo wouldn't dare to go back every now and then. It had been a week since the last time he saw Mr. Li, and Li Mo missed him very much.

"Okay, we will definitely go tonight." Zhang Dayong had already specially invited him, so Lin Han would not refuse to give him face.

When Zhang Dayong returned home, Lin Qin was sweating profusely and lighting the fire, opening the pot from time to time to check how the food inside was cooking.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Dayong took over the task of lighting the fire, allowing Lin Qin to cook with peace of mind.

There was no need to light the fire, and Lin Qin immediately felt much more at ease. While cooking, he still had time to chat with Zhang Dayong.

Lin Qin also spent a lot of money this time. Not only did he use most of the meat at home to cook, he even made a pheasant into braised chicken. You must know that braised food not only requires the use of aniseed, but also a large amount of soy sauce. Generally, few people are willing to eat like this. Sometimes it is slightly braised during the Chinese New Year to satisfy cravings, but I have to say that if the braised food is well made, it will be very fragrant and is perfect as a side dish with wine.

Lin Qin didn't plan to make dinner for dinner in the evening. He planned to make fried rice cake as the staple food. If there wasn't enough food by then, he would just make some noodles.

"Brother Dayong, I'm almost done here. You go get some wine and come back. Remember to bring more. My father and Uncle Li both like to drink. If they don't have enough, they won't be enough. Do you have enough money? If not, I will give it to you. Get some." Lin Qin wiped his hands on his apron and prepared to take the money bag to Zhang Dayong.

"No need, I still have enough money." Zhang Dayong stood up and said.

After hearing this, Lin Qin stopped insisting and continued to stir-fry the vegetables in the pot.

When Zhang Dayong came back from drinking, Lin Han's family had already arrived. Bai Xiuniang was sitting in the main room to rest because she was pregnant, while Li Mo had already gone to the kitchen to help Lin Qin cook.

Because Village Chief Li came back late from the county seat, when he and Mr. Li arrived, the food was already on the table and everyone was seated. Because we are all part of the same family, we didn't deliberately sit separately.

"If you were late in ordering, we would have eaten all your food." Lin Han joked when he saw Village Chief Li.

Village Chief Li was in a pretty good mood at this time. Looking at the dishes on the table, he couldn't help but muttered a few words, "Yongzi, you are too extravagant with so many dishes. Let me see if you take all the meat in the house." It's out, but I don't know how to save it. Meat is so expensive now."

"Uncle, I didn't bring out all of it, but even if I did, it doesn't matter. I'll just go and hunt again tomorrow. As long as you are happy eating, that's fine." Zhang Dayong He opened the stools for Village Chief Li and Mr. Li to sit down, and then poured a bowl of wine for Village Chief Li.

"You guys are really a match for this kiss. Look how talkative your mouth is now. Before, you were like a dull gourd and couldn't even make a fart." Village Chief Li pointed at Zhang Dayong and said with a smile.

Zhang Dayong laughed a few times after hearing this, then went in to help Lin Qin bring out the last few dishes, then pulled out the stool for Lin Qin to sit down first, and then took the lead in picking up the chopsticks and said, "Everyone, eat, you're welcome. Eat whatever you want. If it's not enough, let Brother Qin make some more." "

Enough, enough, there's not enough food with so many dishes. We really think we are pigs." Lin Han shook his head and laughed.
