Chapter 347 Openness
Their three meals a day were not much better than the criminals'. Now that they were faced with such a big meal, how could they tolerate it?
Kung pao chicken, braised pork stewed dried beans, chopped lamb, braised fish, radish meatball soup, steamed eggs with minced meat ...
The two of them looked at this drooling man and saw that his throat was itchy too. In the end, they didn' t care if shangguan wasn' t familiar with them or if the lin family was even more unfamiliar. Their chopsticks seemed to have a sense of spirituality as they threw away the food and filled their mouths with food. The bowls were dry and filled. Before the lin family and the others could eat half full, chu dong and shen kang were already burping and shaking.
Father zhou called lin dashan for help and sent the two to the next room to sleep. He went straight to old master yao and his son.
Because father zhou did not make arrangements, the other prisoners had already eaten and had already gone back to rest. Usually, they had to dig stones. It was rare for shangguan to arrive today. They had a day's free time, so they naturally had to make full use of it.
So, at this moment, only the old woman who was cooking was left in the kitchen. The old woman's surname was hong, and she was also a certain official's wife back then. Unfortunately, once the incident happened, she was sent over with a man. The man was tired and tired, so he died early. Instead, she was cooking here. She worked hard but she was still safe. She had lived safely until now, and she was already forty to five.
Usually, apart from the steward and the two officers, she was the most powerful person in charge of everyone's food, so her temper was not considered amiable.
At this moment, when she saw old Mr. Yao and his son sitting still after dinner, she scolded," what are you two looking at? I don' t know what you' re looking at. Get up and help clean up the dishes and sweep the floor." No wonder she had been sent to work hard. She was so stupid that she felt like a lump in her head. "
When yao changming frowned and wanted to refute, lin dashan quickly walked in from outside the door. "
Yao changming thought of the fourth uncle in Jiao Jiao's mouth and understood. He raised his hand and helped him up. He replied gently," I heard Jiao Jiao mention you before. Our father and son are in trouble now, and we still need to thank you for your help. "
"Sir, you are very kind. I really hate students. Please follow the students to the small row room for tea. "
Lin dashan didn' t like the old woman's eyes like hooks. "
Father zhou smiled and didn' t scold him. He just asked," I heard that you are in charge of the kitchen. It must be very hard to cook the food for so many people. Why don't you ask tomorrow who else is good at cooking, and change jobs with you, and you'll be digging stones for two days to blow the wind. Spring is coming soon, and the mountain scenery is just right. "
Old lady hong's face immediately turned pale and she quickly knelt down and kowtowed." Thank you, steward, for your kindness. It's only right for an old woman to work hard. In the future, the steward had his orders, and the old woman was at her beck and call. "
Father zhou smiled and pointed to lin dashan and the others not far away." That scholar was my son-in-law just now. The two new prisoners have been his husbands before. They must come and go frequently in the future and need your care. "
"No, no, it's all right. "
Old lady hong quickly lowered her head, thinking of how regretful she was just now.
"My in-laws live very close to here. I' m afraid they' ll often send food and things here in the future. In any case, I' ll have to trouble you." "
Father zhou didn' t say anything more.he turned around and followed lin dashan and the others back to the kitchen.
Old lady hong stood up and secretly smacked her mouth. How could she not understand that she had just eaten a stick and was stuffed with a red date? Hence, she was even more awed by the smiling new manager.
The dog that bites a person does not bark, the old saying is really good. The previous manager was sharp and mean, and he wished he could put it on his face if he was not good at all. This was actually easy to deal with.
Now, this manager didn' t seem to laugh or talk, and he thought that he was easy to fool. He didn' t expect that his methods were only more powerful than the previous one.
Not to mention how old Mrs. Hong felt, she only said that old Mr. Yao and his son were allowed to enter the room.
The leftovers on the table were all picked up and replaced with refreshments and fruits.
Old master lin brought Jiao Jiao to the door and bowed when he saw old master yao and his son.
"I have long heard of Mr. Yao, and the old man is very polite. "
Jiao Jiao also smiled and said," grandfather yao, sir, long time no see. "
Old Mr. Yao guessed that the old man was the head of the lin family, so he gestured for his son to let go of his hand and returned the old man with a solemn bow." Old hero lin, thank you for your help. "
"Old master, you're welcome. It's all a small matter. "
Old master lin personally helped the old man to sit on the top of the table. Lin dashan also helped yao changming to sit beside his left hand and respectfully poured tea for the two of them.
After that, father zhou, who came in, sat down on his right hand and chuckled." There are no outsiders now. We can talk." "
He cupped his hands in salute with Mr. Yao and his son and said," gentlemen, please wait slowly along the way. Don' t blame the little boy. There were too many outsiders to tell the truth. But in the future in this stone field, everything I make the decision, it will be much easier to act. Gentlemen, if you need anything, just let me know. "
Jiao Jiao took the opportunity to peel an orange and stuffed it into old Mr. Zhou's hands. He stood beside him and smiled." This place will be grandpa zhou's territory in the future. "
The old man glared at his granddaughter and said with a smile," this girl, you sound like your grandpa zhou is the king of the mountain. "
Everyone laughed. Old master lin was a straightforward and straightforward person. He was impatient with the distractions, so he told old master yao frankly," old master, last year, the yao family was in trouble. My dashan heard from the city that he had been thinking about your family's safety ever since he came back. However, our lin family's small farmers, self-protection is not enough, for the sir's family experience, the heart is powerless.
No, it just so happens, sir was sent to hanshan pass for service. My little granddaughter and I went to visit my parents, and we ran into each other on the way. After going back to talk to the mountain, the mountain is anxious to rescue, and there is no chance to talk with the gentleman in detail, so, our family on their own initiative, you two transferred here stone field.
For this reason, the old in-laws also invited themselves to be in charge.
It was more dilapidated than the mine, but it was sparsely populated and very close to our home. It was the village below the mountain that lived in my other in-laws. To put it bluntly, in the vicinity of the stone field in this round ten miles, I say a word or very useful.
In the future, although gentlemen here to take good care of, do not have to do work, eat and drink consumption, we will be sent home one after another. Apart from not allowing the gentlemen to return to the capital city and not helping them settle their grievances, the lin family could do the rest.
