And with Xue Jingran here, there’s no need to worry too much about these things.
Seeing that Lu Yanzhou also meant the same thing, Father Lin swallowed his saliva and gradually felt more at ease.
Then just listen to what they say. If I get anxious, I might end up making things worse.
"Then...should I tell Uncle Fang about this?"
This matter could be a big deal or a small one, and Father Lin was a little undecided for a moment. After thinking about it, he turned his head and looked at Lin Yunchu, waiting for her response.
Lin Yunchu nodded and said, "Yes, but I need to remind Grandpa Tongfang not to spread this news."
After all, the head of the village is the head of this village, and the Lin family will still have to live here in the future, so it is better to inform him.
He told Lin's father to make sure to explain everything and not tell anyone in order to avoid unnecessary trouble and to avoid upsetting County Magistrate Cao.
Father Lin nodded and said yes repeatedly.
What Lin Yunchu said made sense, and he took everything he said to heart.
Thinking that the autumn harvest is only a few days away, I think it’s time to find someone to go, so that he won’t be too busy to take care of anything else.
"Then I'll go talk to Uncle Fang about this, and gather the people who will come to work during the autumn harvest."
After saying this, Father Lin didn't care about anything else and hurried out.
At the village head's house.
With a "clang" sound.
When the village head heard what Lin's father said, he immediately jumped up, knocking over the teacup in his hand. He pointed at Lin's father with a trembling hand and asked haltingly, "You...what did you say?"
Could it be that he was too old to hear well? What Lin Wenshan said didn't sound real to him. Was the county magistrate going to come to their Qingxi Village?
County magistrate!
Is the county magistrate someone that common people like them can meet?
The village head swallowed hard, came to his senses, and slapped his forehead.
Father Lin looked at the headman's reaction and didn't find it strange. They had the same reaction when they first heard about this.
From the initial disbelief to now completely calm, Father Lin looked at the head of the village, nodded decisively, and spoke again:
"Yun Chu said that the county magistrate came here for potatoes and wanted to learn more about them, so he will come to Qingxi Village to take a look during the autumn harvest."
It was not for them to ask what the county magistrate was doing; they just had to do as he said.
After hearing what Lin Yunchu and Lu Yanzhou said, Father Lin felt relieved that the county magistrate was indeed a good official who was dedicated to serving the people.
After listening to Lin's father's words, it took a long time for the village head to slowly react.
Still a little surprised, he swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously:
"Well, then we have to prepare well. This is a big deal for our village. We must not let the county magistrate think that we are neglecting him."
Although he was the head of a village, he was not a real official after all. He had no say even in front of the yamen runners, let alone the county magistrate.
What Lin Wenshan is saying now is that the county magistrate is coming to their village. If this matter is made public in the future, he will be very proud of it, and people from other villages will also have to think twice before seeing him.
The headman stood up and paced back and forth in the room, muttering to himself, thinking over and over again about how to entertain the county magistrate without making him feel awkward.
Although every household in Qingxi Village is living a much better life this year thanks to the Lin family, it is still far behind the people in the town.
He needs to think about it carefully and make the county magistrate satisfied when the time comes.
Seeing the headman start to think about how to entertain the county magistrate, Lin Wenshan quickly stood up, waved his hand at him, and hurriedly explained:
"Yun Chu said, the county magistrate said this matter must not be told to anyone, it cannot be publicized."
According to County Magistrate Cao, he was here in disguise for a private visit. If they made a big fuss, they would have to report it to the county magistrate in time.
Their village will be in trouble in the future, so they should just do as the county magistrate wishes.
Father Lin then repeated Lin Yunchu's words.
After so many things happened, the village head now understands that although Lin Wenshan is the head of the Lin family, most family matters are still decided by the girl Yun Chu.
It was only after he got along with Lin Yunchu that he realized how capable that girl was.
The Lin family is now so prosperous and has built a workshop. All of this was Lin Yunchu's idea.
So when Lin's father mentioned Lin Yunchu, the village head did not feel any contempt in his heart. Instead, he calmed down and thought about Lin's father's words carefully again.
Suddenly it dawned on me and I nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, Miss Yun is right. Let's listen to Miss Yun."
Lin Yunchu is a very capable person, even he, the village head, has to admit that it is always right to listen to Lin Yunchu in this matter.
but......
The village head was worried but still a little bit uneasy.
"But isn't it inappropriate for us to do nothing? It seems we don't take this matter seriously."
Although the county magistrate said that he came to Qingxi Village as a servant, they knew his identity after all, and they could not really treat him as a servant.
The county magistrate didn't know what to think. They couldn't just sit there and do nothing until others said something.
The village head sighed. This was a bit embarrassing.
This cannot be publicized, but they want the county magistrate to see how seriously they take this matter. What should they do?
The headman paced back and forth in the room with his head down, shaking his head and nodding, which made Lin's father anxious.
"Uncle Fang, how about this? Then you can cook a delicious meal at my house to entertain us."
Since the county magistrate said that he came as a servant of Xue Jingran, it would not be a good idea to publicize it. This Master Xue had been to the Lin family before.
Everyone in this village knew that when Lin Changting got married, Xue Jingran specially sent someone to deliver gifts, which was said to be an invitation to Xue Jingran for dinner.
That’s a good idea. Others won’t get suspicious.
Moreover, Lin Yunchu has good cooking skills, and the dishes he makes are not out of place and should be able to hold their own.
The village head paused when he heard this. This was a good idea. Why didn't he think of it?
He knew that Master Xue was the owner of the Yipin Pavilion in the town. It was reasonable to entertain this distinguished guest at the Lin family, and he did not mention the matter of the county magistrate.
This method kills two birds with one stone, great!
"Okay, let's do it this way. I'll go to the fields with you on harvest day."
The county magistrate did not publicize his identity, but he still had to observe the proper manners and etiquette of a village head.
By then, I will be able to leave a good impression on the county magistrate.
