Chapter 148 New Year Greetings
"Oh! Really, they didn't even eat their meal properly and they ran away." Lin Changcan sighed, feeling both amused and helpless. After he finished speaking, his face looked a little lonely again.
Lin Qian looked at Lin Changcan and knew what he was thinking.
Although we still eat together as a family, it is not like before where we see each other every day.
Now that everyone lives far away, Lin Changcan is alone except for meal times. Even though he has servants and a dog to accompany him, he still feels a little lonely.
Lin Qian was just about to speak when Wei Xiaoran came and said he wanted to take Lin Qian out to play.
Lin Changcan couldn't even eat anymore. He put down his chopsticks, waved to Lin Qian, and said, "Go ahead! Young man, go have fun."
Lin Qian thought for a moment and said to Wei Xiaoran, "You can go out and play, but we can only go where I say we will."
Wei Xiaoran nodded. Judging from his expression, even if Lin Qian said she wanted to kill people and set fire to things, he would probably nod without hesitation.
"Grandpa, do you want to pay New Year's greetings? Let's go to the village chief's house first?" Lin Qian turned and asked Lin Changcan.
Uncle Lin Fei is also living in Beijing now, and the village chief and others came with him. The old guys haven't seen each other for a year and they must miss them.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Lin Changcan immediately said, "Can we really go? It's been almost a year since we last saw each other. To be honest, I kind of miss them."
Lin Qian looked back at Wei Xiaoran, who nodded immediately and said with a smile, "Okay, the carriage is ready, let's go now, Qianqian and I will accompany you."
Lin Changcan immediately smiled, stopped eating, put down his chopsticks and went to get the gift he wanted to give to someone.
In fact, these gifts were all collected by him. Whatever he thought was good and suitable for the village chief and others, he would keep and prepare to give away.
I have a pile of gifts but no chance to give them away, so now I can just take them all over.
These gifts were not expensive items, just a few nice pipes, some delicious tea, and so on.
After Lin Changcan had packed up, Lin Qian and Wei Xiaoran supported him out of the house, got on the carriage, and headed west of the city.
Most of the houses in the west of the city have one or two entrances and are relatively small, but they are full of life. They are different from the big house of Lin Qian's family. Although it is large and luxurious, it looks cold.
Lin Fei, Lin Yuan, Lin Xing and others came from Linjia Village together. Most of them live here and are neighbors.
"Uncle Lin Fei! Is Uncle Lin Fei at home?" After Lin Qian found out that it was Lin Fei's house, she went to knock on the door.
Lin Fei came over and opened the door. Seeing Lin Qian and Wei Xiaoran, he almost fell to his knees. The fact that Wei Xiaoran was Wei Jing was a secret that they didn't know.
Lin Fei is now a centurion, so he naturally knows Wei Xiaoran's name. Shouldn't he kneel down when the evil spirit arrives?
Lin Qian was quick to support Lin Fei, who was about to kneel down, and said, "Uncle Lin Fei, what are you doing? We are here with grandpa to see the village chief. Don't try to trick us."
Wei Xiaoran also nodded: "Qianqian is right. I am just a grandson now. I came here to play with my grandfather."
Lin Fei nodded hesitantly and did not kneel again, but he still looked very reserved and quickly welcomed the three people in.
Who knew that Lin Fei's house was so lively? There were several old men and women sitting in the yard, all of them were elders of Linjia Village.
"Changcan? It's Changcan. Come quickly. You're the only one who hasn't been here this year among us old brothers." The village chief stood up and greeted him as soon as he saw Lin Changcan.
Unlike the reserved Lin Fei, the village chief and others treated Lin Changcan the same as before. After a while, a group of old men and women started chatting.
Lin Qian liked this atmosphere very much, so she simply grabbed a handful of melon seeds, sat next to Lin Changcan, and listened to this group of people talking about the past.
Seeing that Lin Qian was listening with great interest, Wei Xiaoran did not disturb her. He moved over to listen with her, peeling melon seeds for her while listening.
As he was talking, the village chief sighed and said, "The capital is very prosperous, but I always feel uncomfortable living in this big house. It's either my waist or my legs that hurt.
I always want to go back to my hometown, thinking about the few acres of land at home, and I wonder if they are being well taken care of."
As soon as the village chief said this, the old people nodded and started talking at once.
Lin Changcan also said: "It is like this. In the past, although farming and herding cattle were a bit tiring, my waist did not bend and my legs did not hurt.
Now that I'm being waited on, I feel uncomfortable all over. "
"Yes, I opened a vegetable garden and take care of the vegetables every day. Unfortunately, it's too small, and there's nothing to do after I weed the garden." Another old man said.
Lin Qian knew that they had been farmers their entire lives, and working in the fields was the most down-to-earth life for them. Once the novelty of city life wore off, they felt a little uncomfortable.
"Grandpas, do you really still want to live a pastoral life?" Lin Qian suddenly asked.
The village chief and his companions nodded: "Yes, although it's nice here, we still miss our old life."
Lin Qian looked at Lin Changcan again, and Lin Changcan nodded.
Lin Qian smiled and said, "That's easy. My father has a farm not far from the western outskirts of the capital, where he has servants and tenants.
If you really can't get used to living at home, go live there."
Lin Wu's farm was a reward from the emperor when he returned to Beijing. It covers an area of more than 500 acres. Lin Wu said that the scenery is particularly beautiful, with mountains and water.
He had thought it all out and said that when he got old, he would take Zhao Xiu to live there.
When Lin Changcan heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked Lin Qian, "Is it really possible?"
"Okay! We'll arrange for you to live together. There are fields and rivers. If you want to farm, you can farm. If you don't want to, you can go fishing with a fishing rod." Lin Qian nodded.
Lin Changcan glanced at the village chief and the others, then asked, "How about it? Are you going?"
"Go, why not go? I'm almost suffocating here."
"That's right, I'll go too." After a final discussion, the group of old men and women all said they wanted to go.
"Qianqian, isn't this too troublesome?" Lin Fei asked after listening from the side.
"It's okay. Grandpa and the others just want to relax. If they don't want to stay here anymore, you can take them back." Lin Qian said.
The sons of these people from Linjia Village are all soldiers under Lin Wu, and these old people are also very kind. There are also Lin Yuan and Lin Xing, who were actually taught by Lin Shuo. They have good martial arts and internal strength, and now they both follow Lin Shuo.
Lin Qian is willing to take better care of them.
Lin Fei looked at his father's face full of longing, and did not say anything to stop him. He just said to Lin Qian, "I'm sorry, I'm in trouble."
The three of them had another meal at Lin Fei's house and agreed that he would pick them up on the 16th day of the first lunar month after the Lantern Festival. Then Lin Qian and the others went back.
Lin Changcan was so happy that he drank two more glasses and fell asleep as soon as he got in the car.
Wei Xiaoran then hugged Lin Qian, looking very unhappy, and said, "You've been with grandpa all day today, you have to stay with me tomorrow."
Lin Qian pushed Wei Xiaoran's head but couldn't move it away, so she said "OK" with a smile.
