Depressed little landlord

Xu's mother was met by Xu Yang and the others when they went to town yesterday. It is said that when they went back, they found that all relatives in their hometown were gone, or else they moved to other places and had nowhere to go. As soon as he came back to the town, he ran into Xu Yang, and immediately expressed his desire to come back to serve the young master and the others happily.

Xu Yang thought that she was good at cooking, and she was also a cook in Lin's house before, so he brought her back. Douding was very happy. Lin Xuan had only eaten her cooking once or twice before, but in his memory, he was The food at home tastes very good.

Who doesn't want to eat tastier food when conditions permit?So the two brothers didn't object, and let her stay.

Just now, Mother Xu and Mrs. Tian were cleaning up the table and chopsticks with other women in the village, when they suddenly saw two carriages approaching the entrance of the village.

Thanks to Xiang Qing's long-distance running to the village these days, the village is no longer as curious about horse-drawn carriages as it used to be. When seeing a horse-drawn carriage, they are just curious about who came to the Lin family again.

That's right, as long as you see a stranger now, or someone who is dressed better, everyone will know that they must be looking for the Lin family.What's more, today is still the day when the Lin family moved into their new residence, so they just took a look around and continued to work on the things at hand. Compared with them, they were more curious about the small glass of sweet wine that they drank at the dinner table before.

Lin Er's family was all dressed up, and they didn't need anyone to greet them. After getting off the carriage, they walked straight to the Lin family's yard. There was no way, the dilapidated thatched hut was gone, and three new tile-roofed houses were replaced. The ones in the town are still not worth mentioning, but they are still very eye-catching in the village.

Lin Er glanced at it casually, and smiled disdainfully in his heart, and this was directly expressed on his son Lin Caipang's face.

"呵~ It's so embarrassing to call it a new house." Fortunately, under his sister's reminder, he just muttered to himself, but the family must have heard it.

The second daughter-in-law of Lin frowned slightly, and patted her son on the shoulder disapprovingly, signaling him to speak less.

Lin Er didn't look at his son, and didn't express anything about his daughter-in-law's actions, as if he didn't hear or see anything, he turned his head and smiled at the person two steps behind him: "Brother Liu, look, Xuan'er is still very capable. Well, it’s only been a while, and a new house has been built.”

Liu Wenchuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, and nodded: "Brother Lin's son is naturally not bad. It's a coincidence that I came this time, Zhouer, let's go in and congratulate Xiaoxuan."

Liu Xuzhou suppressed the excitement in his heart, and because he was excited to see Xiaoxuan again, he replied respectfully: "Yes, Dad, I will go and get the gift."

Hearing this, Lin Er also said to Lin Xiang'er: "Xiang'er, go and take down all the things we prepared earlier, it's rare that your elder brother's house is hosting a wedding, how can you enter the door empty-handed?"

"Yes, dad." Lin Xianger took two small steps back, and then turned around, ready to follow Liu Xuzhou towards the carriage, when a delicate voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"Sister Xiang'er, Xiu'er can help you too."

Lin Xiang'er first glanced at her parents, and seeing that neither of them objected, she nodded slightly, and a girl who was about her age happily trotted over.

"It's all come to the door, why did you say go back to get things?"

The conversation between the two families did not stop, so the women who were still tidying up in the yard naturally heard it. The second sister-in-law Xu was relatively straightforward, so she couldn't hold back and asked the village head's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xu Zhang, beside her.

Mrs. Xu and Zhang didn't even raise their heads, because of her own man's relationship, she had to be clearer about the human relationship, and she didn't stop the movements of her hands, and also replied in a low voice: "Doesn't it make them more different?"

Sister-in-law Li also came over, and recognized the two families at this moment, curled her lips and said, "Isn't that uncle Xuan's uncle? Why did you come here at this time?"

"Don't care when they come, anyway, you should pay attention, don't come here to bully Xiaoxuan again."

"But that's my uncle, we can't care about it."

"What kind of relatives are they? I wear gold and silver. Why don't I come to see Boy Xuan at ordinary times? If I had the heart, I wouldn't come here now. Who knows what kind of heart I have?"

"That's right, look at the shopkeeper Xiang, he came early yesterday, but this morning I found him helping with the work with that young master."

"Eh? Really? That son?"

"Who said it wasn't? I didn't expect such a young master to help."

"Don't tell me, Young Master Qi looks very handsome like Kid Xuan. I still see such a handsome young man when I grow up, haha."

"That's right! That's right! She looks prettier than our boy Xuan."

"Hey, let me tell you, don't you think Yang and Xuan are..."

So far, the topic has been completely distorted.

When Lin Er and the others walked in, they all stopped.

***

"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, and Uncle Liu are here too, please come inside."

"I'm sorry, Second Uncle, I don't know how many of you are coming, so I'll start the table first. If I know... hey, I should wait a little longer."

The corners of Lin Er's mouth twitched, and he forced a smile on his face. He laughed and patted Lin Xuan's shoulder, as if he was afraid that others would not hear him.

"It's okay for the family not to mention these things. It's also the second uncle's fault. He didn't tell you when he wanted to come. It's not because he was delayed on the way, he just missed the hour."

"Second uncle doesn't mind, as long as you don't mind, come in and sit down, I'll let someone prepare meals, you must be hungry after driving all the way." Lin Xuan endured the pain in his shoulder, smiled and let him in, and turned his head to the yard Xu's mother said: "Xu's mother, Mrs. Tian, ​​go to the kitchen to warm up the food, Second Uncle and the others will have to hurry later."

"Hey, let's go, young master."

Lin Er's family, Liu's father and son: "..."

Xiang Qing whispered to Xu Yang, "Xiaoxuan has always been like this?"

Xu Yang looked at Lin Xuan at the door, worried in his eyes, and moved his lips.

"Don't talk too much later."

"understood."

Lin Liu also saw clearly the people in the room now, and was a little surprised.

"Isn't this... really a rare visitor!" Lin Er was surprised and turned happy, and walked over to say hello: "Master Xiang, Mr. Qi."

Xiang Qing put away his smile and nodded coldly: "So it's Er Ye Lin, nice to meet you."

"Second Master Lin."

Lin Er laughed, looked at Qi Ling kindly, and said with a smile: "Okay, I haven't seen you for a few days, I don't know how brother Qi is?"

Qi Ling held the folding fan and saluted, with a usual smile on his face: "Thank you, Second Master Lin, for your concern, my father is well." After speaking, he stood next to Xiang Qing and slightly closed his eyes.

Lin Er paused for a moment, as if he didn't see it, he smiled and introduced the Liu family father and son to the two, completely putting Lin Xuan aside.

It didn't matter to Lin Xuan, after giving orders to Mother Xu and the others, he came back, sat down on the chair beside Xu Yang, and watched them talk quietly.

"My nephew is worthy of being Brother Lin's son. It can be said that a tiger father has no dogs. Very good." After Liu Wenchuan greeted Xiang Qi politely, he looked at Lin Xuan who was the only one sitting in the room. .

Lin Xuan grinned, a perfect smile: "Thank you Uncle Liu for your praise, sit down, sit down."

Liu Wenchuan sat down calmly with a smile. Lin Er only noticed Lin Xuan when Liu Wenchuan was talking. Seeing him sitting there like this, showing no respect for his elders, he couldn't help but feel angry. When he saw Liu Wenchuan, he suppressed his anger again, and chose a chair at random to sit down.

After sitting down, no one made a sound. Lin Er scanned around and saw that neither of them had any intention of leaving. Thinking of the purpose of coming this time, he smiled again and said to Lin Xuan: " Xuan'er, the second uncle came in a hurry this time, and I didn't have time to prepare properly, I hope you don't mind, this is a small gift prepared by the second uncle, congratulations to Xuan'er and Xun'er for moving to a new house."

After finishing speaking, she gave Lin Xianger a wink, and Lin Xianger came to the front with a big box and a small box of gifts, and said softly: "Brother, Xianger congratulates you and younger brother Xun'er on your housewarming, and your wealth is abundant."

Lin Xuan smiled and nodded, then looked at Lin Er and thanked him: "Thank you, Second Uncle, and thank you, Sister Xiang'er."

"And me, cousin Lin Xuan, do you still remember Xiu'er?"

Just as Lin Xuan was about to call for someone to collect the things, a young girl about the same age as Lin Xiang'er squeezed in front of her. She put the things in her hand directly on the table next to Lin Xuan, and then came over and pulled his arm coquettishly.

Lin Xuan's hair stood up on the back of his neck, and he immediately pulled his arm out. He leaned back and said with an embarrassed smile, "That...excuse me, what's your name, girl?"

Unexpectedly, the girl was not discouraged, and still chased after him as if to hold his hand, and said with a small mouth: "My Xiu'er, we met two years ago, cousin, you are so quick!" forget?"

Hearing this, Lin Xuan blacked out again, and looked at Lin Er and the others puzzled.And some people have already lowered their faces slightly, while some have their eyes shining...

"Cough!" Upon receiving Lin Xuan's gaze, Lin Er pretended to cough and said, "Xiu'er, come here, your cousin Xuan is almost scared by you, it's been so long, I don't remember It's nothing, there are so many people here, how can you be a girl like this? Come to your aunt."

The second daughter-in-law of Lin also hurriedly said to Lin Xuan embarrassedly: "Xuan'er, I made you laugh, this is my elder brother's little daughter, Xiu'er, who just came to my house a few days ago. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'm arguing to follow, and I'm going to cause you trouble."

"Oh, so that's the case." Lin Xuan smiled, didn't look at the girl, but just looked at Lin Xiang'er and said, "Thank you two sisters, just leave things alone."

That Xiu'er still wanted to speak, but was held back by Lin Xiang'er, at this time Liu Xuzhou also walked by, blocking in front of them, staring at Lin Xuan and said: "Xuan'er, this is a small gift from my father and me, Congratulations on your house move and your family is thriving."

"Thank you Uncle Liu, Brother Liu."

Xu Yang also came out from behind at this time, took the things in Liu Xuzhou's hand, put them on another table, then turned around and continued walking back to the original position.

Lin Xuan moved his neck to ease the itch caused by someone's previous childish revenge, smiled and said to Lin Liu and the others: "Let's all rest for a while, the food will be ready soon."

"Don't be in a hurry, it just so happens that our uncles are also having a good talk."

"Okay." Anyway, just after eating, let's chat and digest after dinner.

However, after rambling for a long time, there was no one topic, but Lin Xuan finally got a little understanding of the other party's intention when Lin Er talked about Na Xiu'er again.

No wonder someone behind him has been blowing cold wind for so long, that's how it is.Well, there is also a certain person on the opposite side who is about to lose it, but Lin Xuan automatically ignores it every time.

"Second Uncle," Lin Xuan looked straight at Lin Er and smiled, "I'm still young, and with my current state, I don't think about these things for now."

Immediately, the air-conditioning behind him dissipated. On the other side, some of their smiles froze, some of their faces turned from red to white, and some remained the same as before... But who has time to take care of them?

He just wants someone to feel at ease.

"Master, the food is ready, do you need to serve it now?"

"Okay, bring it up. After talking for so long, Uncle Second must be hungry." After speaking, he stood up and worked with Xu Yang to set the table in the main room.

Before Lin Er and the others could react, Ms. Xu, Mrs. Tian and the others also neatly put the dishes on the table. It was the same as what they ate before. There were not many dishes, but the portions were sufficient.

In the end, Lin Er and the others left in a hurry without even touching their food, because a certain girl felt that she couldn't stay any longer and ran out crying.

***

In the evening, Douding Lin Xun went to bed first as usual, and Lin Xuan took out his jar again, counting bit by bit, and lay down and sighed helplessly after counting.

"Money is just not spent."

Xu Yang came over with a glass of water and handed it to him, picked out the wick to make the light brighter.

Lin Xuan turned over, looked at him, and moved the copper plate on the bed with his hand.

"The one hundred rewarded by the county magistrate is only half of it now. What have we spent these days?" Counting with fingers, "It's time to prepare for winter. We should prepare a few winter clothes and quilts. Chinese New Year, and after the Chinese New Year, we have to prepare for spring plowing, as well as seeds... Ah, what annoyance!"

Xu Yang took a wooden comb and sat beside the bed, brushing his hair slowly, listening to his narration with a smile all the time.

"Would you like to see what your second uncle sent today?"

When Lin Xuan heard this, he raised his head suddenly.

"Ah, I almost forgot. Although I don't like them very much and they don't like me, the gift shouldn't be bad, right?"

"You'll know if you look at it."

"That's right, let's take a look... um."

"Well, wait. You sneaked mung bean cake again? It's too sweet, remember to drink more water, and next time, tell Mama Xu not to make it so sweet."

"... go quickly."

Ah--

The author has something to say: It’s rare that it’s early today, so I went to bed first, everyone went to bed early, the weather has changed again, keep warm, okay~
