Chapter 120 Intermission
Lin Chuyi shook her head to refuse. How could she eat at the headman's house? The life of the headman's family was one of the best in the village, but it was only slightly better than that of other people in the village. There was still a gap compared with the real rich people.
Every day, the meals were prepared according to the portion for her family. If she stayed here to eat, what she would eat would be the portion for the headman's family. Lin Chuyi felt that there was no need to take advantage of this.
"No, I'll go back and eat before coming back. When I got here, they had already started cooking, so it should be ready by now."
"That's fine. Then you should act faster. Tell them to come at 15:30 in the morning, but when they hear they are here to share the money, they will definitely come and wait early. If you really make them wait that long, there will inevitably be some ignorant gossips." The head of the village reminded.
"Oh, if you blame me for this, then it's better for such a 'personality' person not to cooperate." Lin Chuyi said unhappily.
It's a mutually beneficial thing. If the other party doesn't appreciate it, you won't be eager to take the initiative. If you really dare to turn your back on her, don't blame her for not considering the relationship between the same village.
However, the incident had not yet happened, and the head of the village was just giving her a kind reminder, so she couldn't offend him.
Lin Chuyi softened his tone and said to the head of the village with a smile: "Grandpa head of the village, don't worry. I'm just going back to have a meal. It won't take me long. I will definitely be back before the appointed time."
The head of the village nodded and said, "Okay, then you can go back and eat first."
"it is good."
After Lin Chuyi put the things on the table into the house, he waved his hand and left the headman's house, going back to his own home for dinner.
When they got home, they were already having breakfast in the house. Seeing Lin Chuyi coming in from the door, Aunt Huang wanted to get her breakfast, but Lin Chuyi waved her hand to refuse.
Lin Chuyi went to the kitchen and brought out his own breakfast. He had millet porridge with egg rolls, and the millet porridge was still steaming.
Lin Chuyi was not in a hurry. He scooped it slowly with a spoon and waited until it cooled down a bit before drinking it.
"Why did you come back so soon?" Lin Jinxiu was a little confused. She had just prepared breakfast when her second sister came back. So much money and seeds, were they divided up already?
Lin Chuyi swallowed the burrito in his mouth and winked at Lin Jinxiu, "I just listened to your advice that we shouldn't bully the elderly, so I gave the village head some time to eat."
Lin Jinxiu rolled her eyes, "Do you think I believe it?"
Lin Chuyi smiled and told the truth: "Grandpa, the village head, asked people to notify the families who want to plant peppers to gather at 3:55 a.m., but it's not time yet, so I came back to eat first."
"So that's how it is. I was wondering why it happened so fast."
The doubts in her heart were answered, so Lin Jinxiu stopped asking questions and pushed the several side dishes and wraps on the table towards Lin Chuyi.
"I don't know if that's enough for you. If not, there's more here."
Lin Chuyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Big sister, you really treat me like a pig. What you left for me is enough. If you have more, I will be full. You should eat more. Eat quickly. Burritos are best eaten while they are hot."
She pushed the plate towards them, and they all stopped talking and lowered their heads to eat.
Lin Chuyi ate seven rolls and two bowls of millet porridge before he felt full. He looked at the weather outside and estimated that it was about time.
"I'm going to the headman's house." Lin Chuyi stood up and said to Lin Jinxiu.
"Okay." Lin Jinxiu had finished eating and stood up to clean up the dishes.
"Second sister, can we go with you?" Lin Wuyou pulled Lin Cheng and looked at Lin Chuyi with pitiful eyes.
Lin Chuyi glanced at the bowls in front of them, making sure that everything was eaten, then nodded in agreement.
"Okay, but when you get to the village head's house, remember to look more and talk less, okay?"
The brother and sister nodded repeatedly, "We are very good."
"Okay then." Lin Chuyi turned to look at Lin Jinxiu, "Sister, I'll take them over as well."
"Well, okay, when you go to the village head's house, remember to listen to your second sister. Don't act naughty or run around."
The second sister went to the headman's house to do some serious business. She would be busy later and wouldn't be able to take care of them, so she had to give them a few more instructions.
"Okay!" The two children were very happy to get the consent of their two sisters. They could finally go out and play.
Lin Chuyi took Lin Wuyou and Lin Cheng away from home and walked towards the headman's house.
On the way, Lin Wuyou asked curiously: "Second sister, why are we going to the village head's house?"
“Go and distribute money and seeds to the villagers.”
"Why should we give them money?" Lin Cheng frowned, looking puzzled.
Lin Chuyi then remembered that he had always discussed things with Lin Jinxiu before, and the two little ones knew nothing. Thinking that they would be going to school soon and would be little adults, there was no need to hide family matters from them, so he simply told them what he could.
As for whether they can understand it, it depends on their own understanding.
"It's a long story..."
The three siblings talked as they walked, but they didn't meet many villagers on the way. Many houses had their doors and windows closed. It was not the same when Lin Chuyi passed by just now.
Soon they found out where the villagers were going. As the head of the village had expected, the villagers had gathered at the head of the village early.
It was only 2:45 in the morning when Lin Chuyi and his friends arrived at the headman's house, but the courtyard wall and the front gate were already crowded with people.
There were men, women, young and old among those people, all gathered in groups of three or four to talk, and the noise coming from here could be heard from far away.
Lin Chuyi held Lin Wuyou and Lin Cheng's hands and walked through the crowd, finally squeezing into the yard. The yard was not as crowded as Lin Chuyi had imagined.
Most of the people sitting or standing in the yard were men from various families, each holding a piece of paper in their hands, which was the land lease contract issued to them by the village head.
The headman standing at the door saw Lin Chuyi and his sister coming in from the crowd at a glance, and he took a deep breath and shouted "Quiet!"
The prestige of the village head was still very high, and after his roar, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Lin Chuyi brought Lin Wuyou and Lin Cheng to the village head.
"Most of the people standing in the yard now are the heads of each family, and almost all those who have signed the contracts are here." The village head explained the current situation in a low voice.
Lin Chuyi looked outside the yard and saw that those people gathered outside were all here to join in the fun. She nodded towards the inside.
"Then let's get started."
"Okay, I'll have them move the tables and chairs to the yard, and we'll distribute the seeds there. If they want to watch, let them watch. You can distribute the money, and I'll let the second brother weigh the seeds. He's very skilled, so just tell him how much to weigh."
"it is good."
After Lin Chuyi agreed, the headman turned around and went into the house to arrange the tables and chairs.
