Chapter 66 Two Families

Father zhou did not let go of Jiao Jiao. He smiled and said," just take Jiao Jiao with you. I said that I am not busy. I said that I am not busy and I can' t leave. I have long wanted to go to your village, but I still can' t go. Go, go into the house. The food is ready. We'll talk about business after dinner. "

As he spoke, father zhou carried Jiao Jiao and led everyone in through the side door. They walked around the corridor until they reached a quiet courtyard.

A servant poked his head and looked around the door of the room. When he saw everyone, he immediately opened the door.

Father zhou called everyone into the house, the big kang in the room was burning hot, four square kang table put four meat, two vegetables six dishes, chicken and fish, and a wine pot, is very rich.

Everyone did not hold back and washed their hands.

Old Mr. Zhou had lost the money bag in the county and had accidentally met lin dashan, who had found the money bag and was waiting in the same spot. He liked his elegant and simple manner and was also a scholar, so he secretly investigated the lin family from head to toe and persuaded his wife to marry the youngest daughter to the lin family.

In the past few years, his daughter had given birth to three sons, and lin dashan was also a scholar. Old master lin was reasonable, the dong family was kind, and his sister-in-law was easy to get along with. His brother and sister were united, which made him feel proud every time he thought of it, and he would praise himself for his good taste.

If there was any regret, it was that the lin family was not wealthy.

But now, the lin family suddenly opened a pastry shop. The business was so popular that everyone in the county was jealous. Naturally, they earned a lot of money, so their days were better.

Thinking of the snacks, food, and things that her daughter had brought home a few days ago, she was more filial than she had been in the past few years.

He was not greedy for his daughter's filial piety, but he was really happy. This meant that his daughter had money in her hands and lived a rich life. At this point, he had no regrets anymore.

He was in such a good mood that the wine pot in father zhou's hand was soon empty. When he wanted to ask the servant boy to pour the wine, father lin stopped him.

"Brother, we are not at home. We can drink so much. If you want to drink, come to my house another day, and we'll be fine for three days and three nights. "

Father zhou smiled and said," if you come on a normal day, I really can' t treat you well. But today, the yamen did not say that I was the biggest, and it was almost the same. On the rest of the day, the officers were at home, and I was the only one on duty. "

Elder lin guessed that what he said was fake, and it was only true that he had waited for them to come. But he didn't expose it, and he said," well, it's rare for us to get together and drink another pot. "

"Don' t worry. You have to find that person before you come over tonight." After drinking, it was almost time to sleep. "

Soon, the wine jug was filled and brought back. Lin dahe served the wine. Father zhou and old master lin spent half their lives guarding the entrance of mount hanshan, while the other almost gave up their lives outside the entrance of mount hanshan. They all pretended to be full of words and chatted happily while drinking.

Jiao Jiao had enough to eat and drink, so he sat by the side and listened to the story. However, the fire on the big kang was so hot that it was tiring all the way. Without knowing it, he fell asleep.

When she woke up, she immediately opened her eyes without a smell of fragrance.

It was already dark outside the window.

A basket of steamed buns was small and small, only the size of a baby's fist. She did not know what kind of stuffing was wrapped in. Her jade-white face was faintly tinged with a hint of green. The eighteen folds were carefully and evenly squeezed, which was extremely exquisite.

In the other drawer, there were more than a dozen small steamed buns. Some of them were shaped like red eyed rabbits, some were crooked and curious to explore the world, some were playing with carp, and even the little tiger down the mountain. They were so vivid and lifelike.

Jiao Jiao could not help but smile and ask," ah, who steamed the steamed bun? It's so beautiful!" "

"Jiao Jiao, you're awake! Lin renyi, who was guarding by the table, heard the commotion and approached his sister with joy. He stretched out his hand and wrapped his jacket around his sister, while the other smiled and replied," Jiao Jiao, this is the steamed by the old master. My father said that no one in our county could do it. "

There was no brazier in the house, and it was cold when the sun went down. Jiao Jiao obediently hid in his jacket and was carried by his brother. He asked," where are grandfather and uncle? "

Grandpa zhou took them to work and said that he would be back soon. "

Jiao Jiao guessed that it must be because of the old imperial chef's matter. He had heard of the zhou family before. As long as the criminal officials who were sent to the mine were punished, even if the time had come, the mine would not let them go. Unless someone tries to clear the air, you can put a man on the line, and you can end up dead.

Indeed, not long after, father zhou brought elder lin and lin dahe in. Behind them was an old man with a hunched back. Although he couldn' t see his face clearly, his clothes were clean and neat, and even the gray coarse cloth was a little white. He could vaguely guess that he must be a person who valued hygiene.

Seeing that his granddaughter had woken up, old master lin took her over with a smile and hugged her in his arms. He smiled and said," my Jiao Jiao is awake, but he smells the fragrance? After a while, try master jiang's craftsmanship, the entire mineral yamen was full of praise for master jiang. "

Father zhou also smiled and said," that's right. If old jiang hadn' t taught three disciples, and he really couldn' t stand for long because of the old man's cold legs, he really wouldn' t let them go. "

The old man who followed them, master jiang, who was mentioned by the two of them, bowed and thanked them. "

As he spoke, he lifted his head and Jiao Jiao saw clearly. Master jiang was only over fifty years old, but he probably ate too much and had a lot of wrinkles on his face. He had been blown by the wind and sand for many years, and his face was a little red. However, his eyes did not show any expression. He did not know if the room was dark or because he had lost confidence in life.

Such an old man, beimao county town many, almost everywhere.

If there must be something special about him, it was that his hands were as clean as his clothes. Showing how unhappy life was, he did not forget his professional ethics.

Jiao Jiao was very satisfied. He got down from his grandfather's arms and bowed to the old master solemnly." Grandfather jiang, our snack shop will have to trouble you in the future. "

Lin ren and lin yi also rushed forward, one on the left and the other on the right, accompanied his younger sister to salute.

That master jiang was startled. He was stunned for a moment before he stepped aside. As he returned the salute, he said," young miss, young master, you' ve broken the little old man's heart. "

Jiao Jiao understood that he had been a criminal minister for more than ten years. He was very careful and was engraved in his bones, so he didn' t force him. He smiled and said," in the future, there will be delicious snacks. You don' t have to eat cold cakes and steamed rice cakes all the time. "

Old master lin invited master jiang to sit on the kang." Although there are still seven or eight days before we can go through the formalities to get out of the mine, we will be a family in the future. Master jiang, please don' t be polite. Let's have a meal together. After we reach the lin family village, I' ll serve you some wine. "
