"This kid is so frizzy!"

Aunt Zhang and the village chief looked at each other helplessly and said, "If you don't like studying, what will you do in the future?"

Lin Xi stood up and comforted him: "It's okay, my brother is smart. Even if he doesn't study and obtains fame, I believe he will do something else in the future."

"But these days, it is always best to study and gain fame. As long as he succeeds, he can be rewarded and supported by officials, have food and clothing for the rest of his life, and be respected by others," the village chief said.

Lin Xi said no more.

Zhang Ze is the child of the village chief's family. No matter how close the two families are, she cannot say more. The village chief and Aunt Zhang need to worry about how to educate him.

"Shen Chen also invited guests. I'll go outside to greet them. Village chief, you guys just sit back and wait."

Lin Xi said and walked out.

On the side, Dabao looked at Lin Xi's back, then looked at the worried village chief and Aunt Zhang, thoughtfully.

The second treasure led the third treasure and the fourth treasure to play with the little chicken for a while. Then he came to look for his elder brother and saw him standing there in a daze.

He waved his hand in front of Dabao's eyes.

Dabao came back to his senses: "What's wrong?"

Erbao tilted his head keenly and looked at the village chief and Aunt Zhang. However, he pulled Dabao away and asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you want to be like brother Zhang Ze and get some kind of fame?"

On weekdays, even though the second treasure and the third treasure have a good relationship, they always take the third treasure with them wherever they go, and the eldest treasure seems to be always accompanying the fourth treasure. But in fact, the relationship between the eldest treasure and the second treasure is the best. It's so good that with just one look, You can understand what the other person is thinking.

This is nothing to admit, Dabao nodded.

"The village chief just said that you can have a bright future by getting a meritorious service."

If he studies hard and becomes famous in the future, no one will dare to bully his family anymore, and no one will dare to bully him and his younger brothers and sisters. As the village chief said, he will never worry about food and clothing.

Erbao didn't say anything and sighed.

He looked at the door and said: "I also want to study. I asked my father before, and he said he would definitely send us to study. As for fame... You forgot, brother Zhang Ze told us before that we should take the exam for academic fame. When dad found out about it, he said, let’s not think about it. He had no intention of letting us take the merit examination.”

Dabao looked hesitant and said, "Perhaps, dad just thinks that taking the exam for fame is too tiring and is not willing to let us endure hardship. Look at Brother Zhang Ze, doesn't he talk about how tiring it is to take the exam for fame all day long?"

Erbao scratched his head, "Maybe."

Dabao said: "I'll ask dad again when I get a chance."

Outside.

As soon as Lin Xi went out, he saw an ox cart and a horse-drawn carriage parked at the door of his house.

There were a lot of things on the bullock cart, and Zhang Ze was helping to unload them.

Shen Chen was talking to a young man. Since the young man had his back to Lin Xi, Lin Xi didn't know who he was.

As soon as she stepped forward, someone got out of the carriage behind her, and it was Zhao Dequan.

Zhao Dequan pointed to the driver to help pick up the gifts, then turned around and walked over, and saw Lin Xi at a glance.

"Oh, Miss Lin! Congratulations, what a great joy!"

Zhao Dequan was a good talker. Lin Xi smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao is so busy, so I would like to thank Mr. Zhao for his attention if you can come and have a meal together."

"What are you talking about? Now that you and I are doing business together, and you remember to invite me for such a happy event as renovating your house, it shows that you and your wife regard Zhao as a friend. If Zhao doesn't come, wouldn't it be a betrayal of good intentions."

Zhao Dequan said, calling the coachman forward, "This is the first time for Zhao. He doesn't know what kind of congratulations to send. His wife is also in his hometown and cannot take care of it for Zhao. Zhao then asked your husband-in-law and said it was Miss Lin, you and the child. We all liked Sun Ji’s snacks the most, so we weighed some of each and talked about our feelings.”

Lin Xi thanked her hurriedly.

Just as he was about to take it, Shen Chen had finished talking to others and came over to take it for Lin Xi.

Zhao Dequan said with a wink, "Miss Lin, you are so lucky. Your husband-in-law cares about you so much, but he is afraid that the things will be heavy and tire your hands."

Lin Xi looked at Shen Chen, and her face felt a little hot when she met Shen Chen's dark and deep eyes.

She hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhao is really getting better at teasing people. Please come quickly. We also invited the village chief and his family, who we are friends with. You guys can just talk. As we talked, I prepared the banquet." "

Village chief? Township official of Chenyang Village?

Zhao Dequan's eyes flashed and he subconsciously looked at Shen Chen.

Shen Chen's face softened a lot, and he nodded briefly in greeting to Zhao Dequan.

Zhao Dequan smiled and said warmly: "There are so many people, I'm afraid Miss Lin will be tired. What a coincidence, when I came, I asked Chef Zhao from the restaurant to help make a few signature dishes and bring them to Miss Lin. As long as it's warm, it's not a good thing for your family to be too tired on the big day."

"Then thank you so much, Manager Zhao."

After Lin Xi finished speaking, he saw Zhao Dequan asking the driver to get the food box from the car.

Lin Xi whispered to Shen Chen: "Bring me in first. I have something to say to Manager Zhao. It's about Jiandilong."

Shen Chen hummed, stretched out his hand and asked the driver to take over the food box.

Unexpectedly, a hand suddenly stretched out from beside him and took the food box over.

"There's no need to bother Brother Shen with such a small matter, I'll do it."

When Lin Xi heard the sound and looked over, it was the young man who had just been talking to Shen Chen.

He took the food box and turned around, with a look that looked familiar to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi exclaimed and said in surprise: "You... you are the son of that lady who sells cotton. What is your name, Brother Shou?"

No wonder Lin Xi took so much trouble to remember it, it was the past events that the aunt told me that were really impressive.

The young man glanced at Lin Xi subtly, then turned to look at Shen Chen eagerly.

Lin Xi also looked at Shen Chen and asked what was going on with his eyes.

Zhao De looked at her with all his eyes, nose, nose and heart, then he just kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

Shen Chen said: "His name is Wang Shou, a playmate I met when I was young. There is a happy event at home today. I thought I don't have many friends, so he is one of them, so I called him here."

"That's it."

Lin Xi expressed his understanding.

Being able to let someone like Shen Chen say the word "friend" shows that the two of them have a good relationship and should be invited to dinner, but...

Lin Xi scolded: "In that case, you should invite his mother over too. How can you treat only one person like this?"

Wang Shou quickly explained to Shen Chen: "My mother went out to her uncle's house yesterday to visit relatives and will be back at the end of the year."

When Lin Xi heard this, he led Wang Shou and Zhao Dequan in first and discussed other matters later.

The three families in the courtyard were not very familiar with each other. Even Zhao Dequan, the village chief and Aunt Zhang had only done business with them and had no other contacts, so the atmosphere was a bit solid.

However, Aunt Zhang was really eloquent and she started talking quickly. Zhao Dequan was also a well-rounded person who was very good at livening up the atmosphere. For a while, the courtyard was lively.

In the kitchen, Lin Xi suddenly remembered while cooking.

"its not right!"

Seeing Shen Chen moving things into the kitchen, Lin Xi immediately pulled Shen Chen and said, "How do I remember that the person who collected your prey before was also named Wang Shou??"
