Chapter 133 Delivering Rabbit Meat to the Academy
Chapter 133 Delivering Rabbit Meat to the Academy
night,
Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan slept in the same bed.
But they were all thinking about their own things.
Lin Yunlan asked softly:
"Qingqing, are you asleep?"
Hearing the voices, Lu Qingqing replied softly:
Not yet.
Lin Yunlan opened her heart and said:
"Qingqing, I've decided to work at the county government office."
Actually, I had some selfish motives in my heart.
Lu Qingqing asked in confusion:
"Is it because of Stone's father, the Third Prince?"
Lin Yunlan did not answer, and after a short while:
"That's partly true, but not entirely."
Lu Qingqing turned over to face Lin Yunlan.
Soft voice:
"Yunlan, what exactly is the reason?"
Lin Yunlan sighed deeply:
"My dear, the situation is unclear now."
I want to secure a stable future for our family.
Although the county government office is full of complicated affairs, it is also an opportunity.
If we can make a difference
The children will be able to live a more stable life in the future.
Lu Qingqing gently held Lin Yunlan's hand:
Yunlan, I understand your thoughts.
"But there's a lot going on in this government office, so you must be extra careful."
Lin Yunlan grasped Lu Qingqing's hand in return.
Firm tone:
"Qingqing, don't worry, I will act cautiously."
A brief silence fell over the room.
Only their soft breathing mingled together.
Moonlight streamed through the window and fell onto the bed.
The reflection shows the two figures leaning on each other.
the next morning,
The whole family finished eating early.
Because Lin Yunlan was preparing to report to the government office.
Lu Qingqing tugged at Lin Yunlan's sleeve.
His eyes were full of concern:
"Yunlan, there are many people and many things to do in the yamen."
You should pay more attention to the people and things around you.
Don't easily get into arguments with others.
Lin Qingshan looked at him with a serious expression:
"Son, remember to be an upright person."
But don't be too rigid; you need to be flexible.
Lin Erzhu patted Lin Yunlan on the back, his tone bold and unrestrained:
"Brother, we're not afraid of trouble, but let's not go looking for trouble."
If you have any difficulties, just tell your family.
Wang Xiuxiu handed a small bundle to Lin Yunlan:
Yunlan,
Here are a few spare changes of clothes.
If it gets dirty, there's a replacement.
Lin Yunlan looked at her family, her heart filled with emotion.
He solemnly stated:
"Father, Qingqing, Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law"
Don't worry, I will definitely do my job well.
"Don't bring shame to our family."
With that, Lin Yunlan nimbly mounted his horse.
He gripped the reins tightly, glanced back at the crowd, and
Then, he kicked the horse's belly hard with both legs.
He shouted loudly:
"drive!"
The horse let out a spirited neigh.
It rushed forward like an arrow released from a bow.
The horses' hooves kicked up clouds of dust.
The swirling dust, illuminated by the sunlight...
It resembles a golden veil.
Lin Yunlan's figure gradually faded into the distance amidst the dust.
Until it becomes a tiny black dot,
Lu Qingqing turned to Lin Erzhu and said:
Second brother, second sister-in-law
Let's pack up and head to town.
Lin Erzhu responded:
"Alright, Qingqing, let's go now."
Wang Xiuxiu tidied up her things.
He said:
"Qingqing, I've divided the rabbit meat into three portions."
I also brought some fruit, is that alright?
Lu Qingqing smiled and replied:
"Second sister-in-law, everything is fine."
Wang Xiuxiu continued:
"Then let's get in the car quickly, so as not to be late."
Subsequently,
The three of them greeted Lin Qingshan.
They got on the oxcart.
Lin Erzhu flicked his whip lightly.
The oxcart slowly started moving.
We drove along the country road toward the town.
The three of them first went to Fuhai Restaurant.
When Boss Quan saw the group of people coming over,
He immediately stepped forward to greet them warmly.
"Oh dear, Madam Lu, you've finally arrived!"
I was thinking, if you don't come today,
I'm going to Linjia Village to find you.
Lu Qingqing asked in confusion:
"Boss Quan, what happened?"
Boss Quan said with a smile:
"It's all because of that fried chicken; we don't have enough chicken."
Lin Erzhu exclaimed in surprise:
"Not enough? This fried chicken is selling so well?"
The boss's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter:
"That's right, Brother Lin."
This fried chicken was just launched
That's because demand exceeds supply; customers are all urging them to buy.
Wang Xiuxiu said:
"Boss Quan, what do you think we should do next?"
Boss Quan rubbed his hands together:
"I just want to discuss this with you."
"Could you supply more chickens? We can discuss the price."
Lu Qingqing thought for a moment:
"Boss Quan, then name your price."
We'll send a message back.
"Have Brother Wang bring it to you as soon as possible."
Boss Quan nodded hurriedly:
"Alright, Madam Lu, then I'll take thirty first."
Please have him deliver it as soon as possible.
My restaurant has so many customers waiting to eat this fried chicken!
At this moment, a waiter from the restaurant came looking for Boss Quan.
Boss Quan said apologetically to Lu Qingqing and Wang Xiuxiu:
"Excuse me, Madam Lu"
I need to take care of something first.
Please have a seat.
After Boss Quan left,
Lu Qingqing discussed with Lin Erzhu and Wang Xiuxiu:
"Second brother,"
I could tell that the boss was in a real hurry to get the chicken.
Otherwise, you could drive your oxcart to Wang Yuan's place right now and tell him.
Tell him to send over thirty chickens right away.
My sister-in-law and I will walk to the academy in a little while.
"Let's meet here again after we're all done."
Lin Erzhu responded without hesitation:
"Okay, then I'll take the things off the oxcart."
Be careful when you two go to the academy later.
"Just come and wait for me at Fuhai Restaurant when you're done."
finished,
Lin Erzhu deftly took three portions of rabbit meat and fruit from the oxcart.
Then they hurriedly drove away in their oxcart.
Lu Qingqing and Wang Xiuxiu watched his departing figure.
The two exchanged a glance and smiled.
Lu Qingqing took out one of the rabbit meat portions.
He walked up to the shopkeeper, smiled, and said:
"Shopkeeper, this is rabbit meat that we prepared ourselves."
Doing more
I brought a portion especially for the whole boss to try.
Please give it to him in a moment.
The shopkeeper was taken aback at first.
His face immediately lit up with a smile:
"Yes, Madam Lu, I will definitely pass on the message."
Lu Qingqing nodded slightly:
"Then I would like to thank the shopkeeper."
finished,
Lu Qingqing then turned around and returned to Wang Xiuxiu's side.
Wang Xiuxiu asked in a low voice:
"Qingqing, have you explained everything?"
Lu Qingqing nodded:
Yes, sister-in-law.
"Let's go to the academy now."
The two walked out of the restaurant side by side, each carrying their belongings.
In no time, the two arrived at the entrance of the academy.
Lu Qingqing gently knocked on the door.
After a while,
The door creaked open.
A young page peeked out.
Looking at them with a puzzled expression:
"May I ask who you two are?"
Lu Qingqing said with a smile:
"Brother,
I am the mother of Lin Shitou, Lin Ermao, and Lin Sanmao.
"I've come to bring some things for the children."
The pageboy suddenly realized:
"I see, Madam, please come in."
The children are still in class.
"Madam, please wait a moment."
Lu Qingqing and the others followed the page into the academy.
Nod with a smile:
"Okay, buddy, we'll wait here then."
It's alright.
Wang Xiuxiu echoed:
"Yes, we're not in a hurry."
The page led them to a guest room nearby.
He poured them another cup of tea and then withdrew.
Lu Qingqing and Wang Xiuxiu sat quietly.
Occasionally, the sound of reading aloud can be heard coming from the classroom.
"Qingqing, what brings you here?"
suddenly,
Lu Qingqing heard Zhang Fuzi's familiar voice.
Lu Qingqing quickly stood up and said with a smile:
Master Zhang,
We've come to bring some rabbit meat for the children.
I also brought you a copy.
As they spoke,
He handed the rabbit meat to Master Zhang.
A hint of surprise flashed in Master Zhang's eyes.
He said with a smile:
Oh dear, I can't accept this.
Thank you for your trouble.
Lu Qingqing waved her hand:
"Master, you work so hard teaching the children every day."
This is just a small token of our appreciation.
Wang Xiuxiu chimed in from the side:
"Yes, Master, please don't stand on ceremony with us."
Master Zhang laughed heartily:
"Then I will accept your offer without hesitation. Please have a seat."
Lu Qingqing and Wang Xiuxiu sat down again.
He exchanged a few more words with Master Zhang.
Master Zhang suddenly thought of something and said:
"Qingqing, if you don't come today..."
We and Jia Qing still need to visit your house.
Did you forget?
Today is the fifth day.
Should Jia Qing have a follow-up appointment?
Lu Qingqing slapped her forehead.
He said with a hint of apology:
"Oh dear, look at my memory!"
"Thanks to you for remembering, Master."
Master Zhang smiled and waved his hand:
"It's alright, it's alright, since you're all here..."
I'll take you to Jia Qing's place in a bit.
Show it to him.
This also saves us two old folks from having to make another trip.
Lu Qingqing said gratefully:
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master."
Master Zhang glanced at the rabbit meat in his hand.
He smiled sheepishly and said:
"Qingqing, you two wait here for me for a moment."
I'll go put the rabbit meat in the room.
Otherwise, Master Li would snatch it away in no time.
Lu Qingqing smiled, pursing her lips:
"Then you should go quickly, Master."
Master Zhang hurriedly carried the rabbit meat into the room.
His anxious look made Lu Qingqing and Wang Xiuxiu chuckle again.
