The hundreds of tea seedlings, all men, women, old and young, were finished in one day, but they also came home in the dark.
People in the village laugh and say that the richer the Lin family is, the more stingy they are. If they ask people to work, how can they be so tired and hard-working.
"We have no money. We are all poor peasants. Which one of you can see that we have money? This is Peilan's tea mountain. Don't talk nonsense. "
Third uncle said half jokingly and half seriously, so as to block everyone's mouth.
"Your family's Peilan is real. You can't run hundreds of kilometers alone to buy tea seedlings."
"That's it! There are no cowards in the Lin family who go out. "
Lin Peilan walked in front, listening to the third uncle said so proud, also can't help but want to laugh, this everyone is her relatives, everyone has her in their hearts, are thinking about her.
After returning home, grandma Lin and Lin Yuzhu cooked a meal. The four catties of meat she bought was stewed half at noon, and the rest was eaten in the evening.
Mrs. Lin's cooking skill was Lin Peilan's master. She fried the front leg until golden, then added water and kelp to make stew.
After a hard day, drinking this kind of soup is a kind of enjoyment.
After dinner, the whole family did not disperse. The woman cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, while the man stayed in the yard to talk. Today, Lin Peilan and Lin Yuxiang could have a rest without talking about tea.
When the west end of the month, the village people also came, together in the yard to talk and laugh, no longer waiting to see Lin's jokes.
Tea added two times, Lin grandma fried pumpkin also ate a big bowl, we just go home in high spirits.
Some said they wanted to learn from Lin Peilan, but they didn't have any money. They listened to the music, gongs and drums. Naturally, the Lin family understood the meaning.
So he asked Uncle Lin to come up and talk.
"Our family also has no money. The reason why Perrin was able to take care of the tea mountain was her mother-in-law's efforts." One sentence blocked the mouths of those who wanted to borrow money.
"Perrin has a good mother-in-law." It seems that the man did not give up, trying to borrow money from Lin Peilan.
Inside and outside of the story, it's just that Peilan sells tea to earn money. If her mother-in-law has the foundation to go again, she must have a lot of private houses.
"I didn't know that the tea seedling was very expensive, so I turned out my family and owed money. It's my wife's business to have money in her family. I won't ask her for it. "
Lin's refusal is also very straightforward. It's not impossible to borrow money, but we should do what we can.
Now that she has invested all her money in this tea mountain, she can sell a little tea and small commodities at most. Naturally, she will not insist on saying that she has money and lending it to others.
The man obviously didn't believe this, only Dorian was stingy.
But if someone doesn't lend you money, he can't go out, and he doesn't know what to say. There are several waves of people borrowing money from this day, but they are all rejected by Lin Peilan.
These Lin Peilan didn't know. Later, the three aunts went out and came back, saying that everyone had spread the news. Lin Peilan, their daughter of the Lin family, was an Iron Rooster. She didn't want to borrow a cent for nothing.
Lin Peilan doesn't care about this. If other people want to say it, she can't do her own work in time. She has to start to deliver tea tomorrow. She needs to spend money everywhere. She's in a tight spot.
When the tea seedlings are planted, Lin Youcai takes care of them. Lin Peilan doesn't worry. Anyway, it's not the time to cut the rice yet. As before, she leaves early and returns late to collect the tea.
She hasn't collected the raw tea in Niutou village for a long time. It's been four or five days since she came back from Wushi city. She's been busy with the tea mountain.
When she got up early that morning, she was ready to take tea. Naturally, Lin Yuxiang was with her.
Think so many days did not go, then hurry to the past, small goods also bring more than usual.
After arriving in the town, Lin Peilan still went to the cake shop to take away the cakes she had taken with her medicine.
Who knows there will meet a half baked person.
The reason why it's half cooked is that I only met once, but I stayed for a long time.
She was surprised to see Xu Mingliang sitting in the shade of a tree near the door of the pie shop in the town with his black trousers and white clothes rolled up, holding a cake in his hand and not paying attention to gentlemanly manners.
The man with shoes and sweaty suit will stutter at the dusty gate.
The most terrible thing was that he was sitting in the old rattan chair of the shop owner, eating cakes and reading books. He was leisurely and lazy. He was a person of his own style, and it was clear that he had been here for a long time.
"Here comes my sister. Is there as much as usual today?" The bakery owner greets her.
"Yes."
Xu Ming Liang did not find Lin Peilan, and Lin Peilan felt that he and he are not too familiar, sorry to say hello in the past Bento do not see.
"Here comes Miss Lin!"
Who knows, when Xu Mingliang heard Lin Peilan's voice, he put down his book and stood up to walk towards her.
The expression on his face was clearly overjoyed, as if the joy of meeting an old friend.
"Boss Xu, why are you here?" Lin Peilan had to pretend that she had just seen him and was surprised to ask why he was here.
"That day, I heard you say that there are beautiful mountains and rivers and outstanding people in this place, so I wanted to come and see it as a tour."
Xu Ming Liang smiles genially. Looking at the joy on his face carefully, there is a trace of restraint.
"It's very good here, but it's not as good as your hometown."
Lin Peilan should be embarrassed, Lin Yuxiang has opened the heart of gossip, has been pulling her sleeve.
"Yes, I think it's very good here, too. I live upstairs in this shop now."
"Ha?" Lin Peilan didn't understand Xu Mingliang's meaning, but the shop owner opened his mouth.
"The boss has been here for five or six days. He has been living in our family for a long time, and he doesn't dislike my messy place."
"There are hotels in the town, but the conditions are not very good. If boss Xu wants to live in a better place, he can only go to the county."
Lin Peilan also thinks that people who are as fastidious as Xu Mingliang are really not suitable for him in the countryside.
"When I was in Wushi, I smelled the disease on you. Just think about what's good that you can take with you when you go out. It's really delicious. "
Xu Ming Liang holds up the meat cake in his hand, which makes Lin Peilan's face a little hot. In those days, all she ate were meat cakes. It's no wonder that Xu Ming Liang can smell the smell of scallion oil on her body.
What embarrassment to say, is it a man's characteristic?
"Just like boss Xu." Lin Peilan pulled the corner of his mouth, embarrassed smile, "I have something else to do, you play first, I'll go."
"Good. I'll wait for you to come back... And have tea with you. "
Lin Peilan did not look back after a pause. He left with a bunch of cakes and Lin Yuxiang. Xu Mingming's smile did not fade. He didn't know Lin Peilan's name, and it was not easy to ask around the town. He only vaguely remembered the fragrance of the cake on the girl.
So when Xu Mingliang was looking for Lin Peilan in the town, he was looking for this cake fragrance, and then he decided to wait for her here in a silly way.
