Lin Jiuyue smiled at the village chief's wife.
"Auntie, we are so familiar with each other now, don't call me Miss Lin anymore, just call me Jiuyue."
The village chief's wife was stunned for a moment, then laughed happily.
"Okay, then I'll call you September from now on."
Lin Jiuyue said "hmm".
"By the way, September, you're the only one at home, and the things in your room are all new, so you should lock the door."
After hearing this, Lin Jiuyue looked at the village chief's wife in confusion.
"Auntie, what's wrong?"
The village chief's wife moved her lips.
"It's nothing, actually. We country folks all like to watch the fun. Everything in your house is new. If someone accidentally breaks something, we're all from the same village, so I'm afraid you'd be embarrassed to tell them."
Lin Jiuyue turned around and looked at her room.
All the rooms are locked, the only one that is not locked is the guest room.
The furniture in the guest rooms are all large pieces, meant for people to sit on, and shouldn't be broken.
"Don't worry, Auntie. All the rooms are locked. Only the guest room and the kitchen are unlocked."
After hearing this, the village chief's wife smiled.
"It's good that it's locked. It's good that it's locked. I saw someone looking in from the door of your room before and thought your room was unlocked. I'm relieved to hear you say it's locked."
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Thank you for the reminder, auntie."
The food in the kitchen was stored in a cabinet, and Lin Jiuyue handed the keys to the village head's wife, becoming a hands-off manager.
forecourt.
The village chief led the villagers to move the tables and chairs for the banquet into Lin Jiuyue's yard one after another.
With the help of the village chief and his wife, Lin Jiuyue felt much more relaxed.
"Miss Lin, your family is going to have a banquet. Is your brother coming back?"
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
The village chief is still thinking about his younger brother.
It was true that these days, it was rare for someone to be away from home while they were doing business. It was normal for the village chief to be concerned about Qiye.
"Come back. If he doesn't come back, I will tie him up and bring him back."
Yesterday afternoon, Lin Jiuyue sent someone to deliver a letter to the capital. It is estimated that her younger brother has received the letter by now.
After hearing this, the village chief's expression became relaxed.
"Haha, I have to come back."
I had heard some gossip from the villagers before, saying that Miss Lin was a woman and would have to get married sooner or later. No matter how capable she was, it would be useless because there still needed to be a man in charge of the family.
The village chief thought that Lin Jiuyue had a younger brother. Although he was a little younger, he was still a boy after all.
Now that the young master of the Lin family is back, those gossips have nothing to say.
Although the banquet was simple, it was not like the 21st century, where many dishes were pre-prepared and freshly cooked, and there was a lot of work to do.
After watching the village chief and others bring in tables, chairs, benches, bowls, and chopsticks, Lin Jiuyue followed the village women and sat in the yard, washing and cutting vegetables while listening to them gossip.
From big things like whose man is cuckolded to small things like whose dog's puppies are sired by whose dog.
Lin Jiuyue listened with great interest, and time passed by unnoticed.
It was getting dark.
The villagers who were chatting at the village entrance suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. The chattering stopped abruptly.
"Hey, who is that? Coming here on horseback? I've never heard of anyone else in our village having a horse besides the Lin family."
"It's too dark to see clearly."
"Brother Gu, we'll be home soon."
Lin Qiye's voice rang out in the darkness.
I've been away for quite some time now, and I wonder what my sister has been up to lately. When she saw me for the first time, did she blame me for going to the military camp without consulting her, or was she happy?
As he approached home, Lin Qiye actually felt the legendary "homesickness."
"Why don't you leave?"
Gu Chengyan looked at Lin Qiye who had stopped behind him.
"Brother Gu, tell me, will my sister beat me up when she sees me come back?"
Lin Qiye said with a frown.
My sister knows everything. She usually doesn't talk, but takes action.
Gu Chengyan was stunned when he heard Lin Qiye's words.
I really haven't thought about this matter.
"Are you afraid of being beaten?"
Lin Qiye nodded.
Of course it would be best if you don't get beaten.
"If you were afraid of getting beaten, why did you insist on going to the military camp with me?"
Lin Qiye: ...
Whatever, I'll just take the beating. Anyway, when I pestered Brother Gu to go to the military camp with me, I knew that this kind of beating would be waiting for me when I got back.
Sooner or later, you will be beaten.
After figuring it out, Lin Qiye straightened his back, looking determined to die. He whipped the horse's butt with a whip, and the horse, in pain, ran to the door of Lin Jiuyue's house.
The woman sitting at the entrance of the village chatting was still waiting to see who was riding the horse, but unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the horse ran away.
"Did you see who was riding the horse?"
"No, I didn't see it clearly."
"Oh, could it be that someone with ulterior motives has come to our village to scout out the area? Let's go and take a look."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Our village is so close to the capital, who is so blind? How dare you come to our village and do such evil things?"
"Yes, isn't the Lin family going to hold a banquet these two days? I guess it must be someone related to the Lin family."
The villagers discussed this curiously, walking towards Lin Jiuyue's house as they spoke, as if they wanted to verify whether their guess was correct.
It was already dark, and the women who had come to help had finished their dinner and gone home.
Lin Jiuyue sat on a reclining chair in the yard, holding a small animal in her arms, with a storybook covering her head. She must have been reading the storybook earlier, but stopped after it got dark.
An oil lamp was lit on the stone table, and fruits and snacks were placed on it. From time to time, he would pick up a piece of fruit with a bamboo stick and put it in his mouth. It looked very comfortable.
"Knock, knock, knock."
First, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the door, and then the sound of knocking on the door reached Lin Jiuyue's ears.
Lin Jiuyue opened her mind and took a look at the door of her house.
Lin Qiye and Gu Chengyan were standing outside the door, each holding a horse in their hands.
Lin Jiuyue curled the corners of her mouth.
Brat, if I hadn't sent someone to bring a letter saying that the house has been repaired and a banquet will be held in the next two days, this kid would probably still be in the military camp and reluctant to come back!
The barracks were filled with rough men, and the place they lived in probably reeked of either foot odor or sweat. I don't know what was so good about the barracks that made him so reluctant to leave? He was even willing to abandon his sister, who had been dependent on him since childhood!
If I don’t teach him a lesson this time, he won’t know why the flowers are so red!
