Snowflakes were falling from the sky little by little. Although the pavilion was not blocked, the surrounding walls had weakened the cold wind a lot. Moreover, there was a big brazier under the table and strong wine in the cups, so no one felt cold.
Qin Kan and Qin Jingru came in a hurry and didn't eat breakfast either, so they ate a little too much. After a while, the food on the table began to bottom out.
When Lin Shaowen saw this, he couldn't help but wink at Lou Xiao'e. Lou Xiao'e immediately understood and walked towards the kitchen.
"Dad, eat less."
Qin Jingru pulled Qin Kan's sleeve and reminded in a low voice.
Qin Kan glanced at the dishes on the table and felt a little embarrassed.
Lin Shaowen didn't even take two bites. It was basically his and Qin Jingru's fault.
He was about to speak, but suddenly he saw Lou Xiao'e coming over carrying a small basin and shelf, and placed them on the table.
The steaming red soup made Qin Kan and Qin Jingru swallow their saliva again.
"Oh, hot pot." Silly Zhu's nose twitched slightly and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Lin Shaowen, this material is good, it was made by some master..."
"A gift from a friend." Lin Shaowen shrugged, then placed the mutton slices and cabbage handed over by Lou Xiao'e on the table, picked up the wine glass and said, "Here, brothers... let's do it."
"Done."
Qin Kan and Qin Jingru also raised their wine glasses, feeling quite moved in their hearts.
After a while, the two bottles of wine were finished.
Lin Shaowen, Qin Kan and Qin Jingru all had slightly red faces, but Shazhu's face was red and he was extremely excited.
"Lin Shaowen, Minister Lin... you can tell your conscience, what does my brother do to you?"
"It's okay." Lin Shaowen smiled.
"Both of you are married and have children, and I am the only one left in the whole courtyard...My brother is feeling miserable." Silly Zhu shed tears as he spoke.
"What do you want to do?" Lin Shaowen asked with interest.
"this……"
Silly Zhu was a little shy and lowered his head, glancing at Qin Jingru from time to time.
Qin Jingru immediately turned pale and hurriedly pulled Qin Kan's clothes.
This was the first time for her to come to Sijiucheng at this age. After seeing the handsome and handsome Lin Shaowen and his life, her horizons suddenly widened.
"Brother He, you and Brother Lin are brothers, so naturally we are brothers too. This is so different and inappropriate." Qin Kan raised his glass and said, "Here, let's have a drink."
Hearing this, Silly Zhu felt a little discouraged. He raised his glass listlessly, touched Qin Kan's glass, and then lay down on the table.
"Brother Lin, is this... Master He okay?" Qin Kan said a little at a loss.
"It's okay." Lin Shaowen smiled and shouted at the door, "Yan Jiecheng..."
The words just fell.
The door that was originally ajar was immediately pushed open, and the three brothers Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiekuang, and Yan Jiefang, who had been staying at the school, rushed in.
"Uncle Lin, you have something to give me." Yan Jiecheng bowed and smiled.
"Go and get Silly Pillar back."
Lin Shaowen picked up the half pack of cigarettes on the table and threw it to Yan Jiecheng.
"okay."
Yan Jiecheng took the cigarette steadily, stuffed it into his pocket, and without saying a word, he and his two brothers helped Sha Zhu out and walked out.
"Jie Kuang."
Lin Shaowen shouted again.
"Uncle Lin."
Yan Jiekuang immediately left him to Yan Jiefang and trotted over.
"Take this candy back and eat it."
Lin Shaowen grabbed a handful of candies and stuffed them into his pocket.
"Thank you, Uncle Lin."
Yan Jiekuang shouted happily, bowed in a decent manner, and then ran away happily.
It's not that Lin Shaowen has any special feelings for Yan Jiekuang, it's just that he is the youngest and only dares to smoke in secret, so he gives him some candies.
"Brother, are you so senior in this courtyard?" Qin Kan asked in surprise.
"He doesn't have any seniority." Lou Xiao'e smiled sweetly, "He's just teasing these boys..."
Then she told Qin Kan what happened.
"Interesting, interesting, what a wonderful guy."
Qin Kan pointed at Lin Shaowen and laughed.
"Come, drink."
Lin Shaowen raised his wine glass.
Qin Jingru looked at Lin Shaowen, tilting her head and not knowing what she was thinking.
The four of them ate from noon to evening, and finally Qin Kan couldn't bear to get drunk.
Qin Jingru took Lin Shaowen to the guest house. After first wiping Qin Kan's face and feet, she gave a few instructions to the uncles who lived with Qin Kan before following Lin Shaowen back to the yard.
Siheyuan.
As soon as Lin Shaowen and Qin Jingru entered the courtyard, they were stopped by several people.
"Minister Lin, don't leave, let's talk." The second aunt said with a bright smile.
When Lin Shaowen saw Lou Xiao'e blinking at him, he couldn't help pushing Qin Jingru to her, sat on the stool Yan Jiecheng handed over, and sat down against the brazier.
"It's rare that Second Aunt opens her mouth, so I have to give you face no matter what." Lin Shaowen said cheerfully.
"Minister Lin, why don't you introduce me?" Third Aunt pointed at Qin Jingru and said with a smile.
"Qin Jingru, her father is the branch secretary of Qinjia Village and came to the meeting." Lin Shaowen said casually.
"Party secretary of Qinjia Village?"
This is a bonus. Even though everyone is poor now, the power of the village party secretary is not small. If you encounter someone with evil intentions, eating a full belly is not a problem at all.
Of course, workers and peasants are the mainstream now. If things are exposed, it will not be as simple as going to jail.
"Jingru, have you married me yet?" the second aunt asked straight to the point.
"No...no." Qin Jingru said with a red face.
"Do you want to marry in the city?" Third Aunt also asked.
Qin Jingru glanced at Lin Shaowen as if asking for help. Lin Shaowen understood immediately and couldn't help but smile and said, "Second aunt, third aunt, you are really stupid. What's the use of asking her about this kind of thing? How old is she?"
"That's true."
The second aunt and the third aunt suddenly understood.
Nowadays, parents still pay attention to their parents' orders and matchmaker's words. If Qin Jingru's father does not agree, their enthusiasm will be in vain.
Jia Zhang, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, "Qin Jingru? What is your relationship with Qin Huairu, that little prostitute?"
When Qin Jingru heard what Jia Zhang said, her eyes widened and she immediately said, "Old woman, please keep your mouth clean... Qin Huairu is my cousin."
Most of the girls who grew up in the village are quite aggressive.
This is caused by the environment. Not all men in the countryside are honest. If you don't be aggressive, you will be bullied to death.
"Hey, you are a country bumpkin, how dare you talk back?" Jia Zhang stood up as she said this.
Qin Jingru flinched slightly in fear. After all, she had not seen much of the world and was full of fear of people in the city.
Seeing this, Lin Shaowen reached out and pulled her behind him, and said with a smile, "Ms. Jia Zhang, if I remember correctly, your household registration book is on a separate page, right?"
"Ha~"
When everyone heard this, they didn't know what they thought, and they all laughed.
"Little beast, how dare you team up with outsiders to bully me?" Jia Zhang said with a glare.
"Outsiders?" Lin Shaowen took out his cigarette, smoked it in circles, and then smiled, "Everyone here counts. Who was born in Sijiu City? Who is not a farmer three generations up?"
"Lin Shaowen, weren't you born in Sijiu City?" Silly Zhu said with some resentment after sobering up.
