Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

Cui Jingwen stood up and said, "Thank you, County Magistrate."

County Magistrate Wang raised the corner of his mouth and said, "It's nothing. Sit down and eat."

With County Magistrate Wang speaking up, there is no need to worry about the rest of the matters, as someone will naturally arrange them.

The staple food in the county government office was a bowl of white rice per person. Cui Jingwen picked up the chopsticks and reached out to pick up a piece of fried clams with leeks.

A few days ago, when I went to Lindong County, I saw fresh clams. A basket was only two cents. However, it was too far from home, so I bought crabs and oysters and didn’t buy clams. When I saw them today, I was really tempted.

Cui Jingwen put a mouthful of food into his mouth and chewed it twice when his eyes suddenly widened.

Li Shi turned his face away, his shoulders shaking.

Lin looked at him: "What's wrong?"

Cui Jingwen swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty, as if he had suffered a lot.

The clams were full of sand. Clams are salty in nature, and there was too much salt in the dish, making it feel like eating a mouthful of salty sand.

Li Shi held back his laughter and gave him an empathetic look.

Only then did Cui Jingwen take a bite, but they suffered torture every day.

When Lin saw Cui Jingwen's expression, she knew why. When picking up the food, she deliberately avoided the chives and picked up a scrambled egg with her chopsticks.

Cui Jingwen also picked up a piece. No matter how fried the eggs are, they won’t be too bad.

After a few seconds, both mother and son fell silent.

Lin forced herself to eat the eggshell, and Cui Jingwen secretly spat out a grain of salt.

Captain Yan turned his head away, and a rare smile appeared on his stern face.

Lin and Cui Jingwen finished their meal with difficulty.

Because the county magistrate had given advance notice today, the dishes were richer than usual. Compared to the food in the village, it was a world of difference.

The two village heads ate until their bellies were full.

"I haven't eaten so full in a long time." After leaving the county government office, the headman wiped his mouth and said, "Jingwen, if you pass the exam and become a scholar, you can come to the county government office to work. Then you can eat delicious food every day. I can't even imagine such a life."

Liushu Village was blushing: "If you enter the county government, the whole village will benefit from it. Brother, you are really lucky."

The head of the village snorted, but couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Cui Jingwen's mouth twitched. He thought, forget it, going to the county government office and eating this kind of food every day.

The ox cart from Liushu Village was waiting outside the city. Under the scorching sun, several people were dozing off on the cart.

The ox cart drove all the way to the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.

It is lunchtime now, and the usually quiet village is now bustling with noise.

The village head immediately woke up from his sleepiness: "What happened in the village?"

Following the source of the sound, the three of them walked to the door of Cui's house, where they were surrounded by people in three layers inside and outside.

The village head looked at Lin, who was also a little confused.

"Mother Jingwen is back!"

A group of women came forward, their words full of enthusiasm.

"What's going on between your family and the brick kiln? What kind of work do you want to do? Do you think we can do it?"

"We are the best at work. Can Jingwen's mother help us negotiate and make some money?"

The women pushed forward while talking, and Lin was almost unable to hold on, not knowing what was happening.

Did Shiro negotiate the cooperation?

It's just a cooperation talk, why is there such a big fuss?

There were dense crowds of people around, and most of the villagers had come.

"Jingwen's mother just came back. What's the point of you surrounding her?" The head of the village raised his voice, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

"This is not... We don't know what happened, and when we saw Jingwen's mother, we wanted to ask..." A woman touched her nose.

"You've blocked the Cui family's door so tightly, who can tell what's going on? Get out of the way first."
