Chapter 53 The Mayor Is Not An Old Man

"Oh? The mayor also said that."

"Hey, you don't know, the mayor of Huaishu Town is different from other places. He can protect us. Whoever wants to make a home here is really a blessing."

"Then where is his house?"

"It's just opposite Xiangmanyuan Restaurant. It's the best house in the town. I heard that the mayor's ancestors were the ones who built this town. They have guarded Huaidui Town for generations. If you feel wronged, go to Find the mayor, he will definitely help you out."

"Ah, if that's the case, I'll move a few boxes of vegetables and visit his old man in a while."

"Haha, the mayor is not an old man. He is only in his twenties. I heard that he has to pass Juren. He is the son of the old mayor and the new mayor."

Xi'er's eyes flickered, it seems that the mayor's family is also very good, originally just talking, it seems that they really want to go.

After the crowd dispersed, Xi'er and Ji Kang entered the courtyard, and saw Mrs. Luo crying at the door, hurried over to help her into the house.

"Mother, don't cry, people are beaten away by neighbors"

"How can they be so shameless, they don't care about you when things go wrong, but they want to get you back when things go well, why don't they kill them?"

"Mom, good people can never imagine how bad the bad people are. What they think is their business. My brother and I have identified you as our mother, and we will never leave you in this life. Don't worry."

"Mother has confidence in both of you. Mother asked you, why didn't you disclose your relationship with Kang'er just now?"

"Mom, I'm still young, Brother Kang is still in school, it's not appropriate to make it public too early, let's talk about it after a few days of stability"

In fact, Ji Kang also had the same thoughts as Mrs. Luo just now, and he still felt a little uncomfortable about Xi'er not disclosing the relationship between the two.

Hearing her explanation like this made me feel better.

"Mother, the snow has stopped, let's bring some gifts and go visit the village head."

"I should go. I have been here for such a long time. I have to let the mayor know that our family is a new resident."

"Well, you guys change your clothes. I'll go to the field and let Liu Qing and the others pick half a box of vegetables. You lock the door and wait for me at the town sign."

A family of three, with a few workers, went to the mayor's house through the snow.

This family is really grand, no worse than the families of those dignitaries, and I don't know where the mayor's family came from.

The door of the mayor's house is open, and the people inside are sweeping the snow, and people are constantly being transported out.

A young man who looked like a servant asked them when he saw the door.

"Who are you looking for?"

"We are new residents in the town and want to visit the mayor"

"Oh, wait a minute, I'll report"

Mrs. Luo whispered, "Is there any servant in his family?"

"Master Juren will naturally have servants at home"

After a while, the boy came back, "My lord is here to invite you"

So the family of three followed the young man, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, Mrs. Luo's eyes lit up.

"Yeah, what a nice house"

Xi'er smiled, "We will build such a good house when our daughter earns money."

"Mother is just boasting, she doesn't want to live, our family is fine now"

Entering the living room, a gentle and refined man in his 20s stood up. He didn't have any airs, and stepped forward and cupped his hands.

"Who are you?"

Xi'er looked at Ji Kang, and Ji Kang hurriedly returned the gift, "Zhennan, Ludong, Luojia"

"Oh? So you are the one in the town that has been making a fuss recently? Please sit down, please sit down"

The three sat down, and the mayor made tea.

Xi'er asked the long-term workers to put the box on the ground, then waved to them, and they went back to work consciously.

"This is?"

"My greenhouse has vegetables, bring some for the mayor to taste"

"Haha, this is a good thing that even money can't buy. Thank you. My cook told me that there is a family in the town that can grow vegetables in winter. I still don't believe it. It turns out it is true"

The mayor asked someone to find the cook, and when the cook saw the dishes, her eyes widened with joy.

“This dish is so fresh, it must have just been picked”

Xi'er nodded, "I just ordered the worker to pick it before I came here."

"I have been to your vegetable garden, and the vegetables you grow are so good, I really want to take care of your vegetable garden."

"Haha, many people think so,"

"It would be better if we could plant some fruit in winter"

"Fruit?"

"That's right, my young grandmother originally studied with the young master in the south, where there are fruits all year round, but when she came to the north, she couldn't eat anything."

"Oh? It just so happens that my house has stocked up some good things made of fruit. You will follow me back later."

"Really, that's great, I thank you on behalf of my young mistress"

The mayor smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly waved to her. The cook hurriedly called for someone to carry all the vegetables to the kitchen.

He embarrassedly explained to Xi'er, "The young mistress the cook is talking about is my wife. She is pregnant now, so she is a little picky about her food, which makes you laugh."

"The young lady, does she like sour or spicy?"

"Hot and sour, as long as the taste is good"

"Oh, I just had some hawthorn cakes, hawthorn rolls, and some fruit candies yesterday, and you will send someone to come home with us later"

"How embarrassing"

"Mayor, you are welcome. You are here to protect the town and do a lot of good things for the people. We should do our best to repay you."

"Thank you so much, I don't know how to call you?"

Ji Kang turned around and looked at old lady Luo and Xi'er, "This is my mother, this is my younger sister, Luo Xier, my name is Ji Mingkang"

"Old Madam Luo, Sister Xi'er, Brother Ji Kang, my surname is Xiao Mingjian, and my wife, Mrs. Qiao, will not come to visit you due to inconvenient health."

"Don't dare, dare not, there will be something in the town in the future, you just order it"

"Okay, then you're welcome. This afternoon, people in the whole town are clearing the snow on the roads. Please help me."

"sure"

Coming out of Xiao's house, Xi'er looked back at the four characters "Mayor's Mansion", curled her lips, and said "interesting"

The two supported old lady Luo and walked slowly home. The Xiao family didn't send anyone to follow them home, and they didn't know if they wanted those things.

As soon as he reached the door of the house, the fat cook from the Xiao family ran after her.

"Old Madam Luo, Miss Luo, Young Master Ji, I'm sorry, the young master originally asked me to come here, but it will be too late if something happens."

"It's okay, come in"

When they arrived at Luo's house, the fat cook waited politely in the living room, and Xi'er took a big back basket and went to the warehouse.

There are several cans of sweet and sour zucchini at home. They were picked when the zucchini were still young. They are very tender and crisp. She took out two cans and put them in the basket.

Then put a can of spicy cabbage, a can of kimchi, a box of homemade hawthorn cake, a box of hawthorn rolls, and a box of fruit candies of various flavors.

Each box is a full amount, which is enough for a pregnant woman to eat until spring.

The cook looked at the basket full of things, and felt a little embarrassed. The dishes alone were worth a lot of money, and with this added, this gift was really not light.

After apologizing repeatedly, she carried the basket and left.

The three of them took off their coats and went to Mrs. Luo's room on the kang, crossed their legs and planned to drink some water, and just took a rest.

The door rang again, and Ji Kang went out to open the door. It turned out to be the fat cook who didn't come in because she was carrying a big burden.

"Master Ji, my young master asked me to send this to me. He said that the young mistress who eats food sent by sister Xi'er is very fond of it. This is a thank you gift for your family, please be sure to accept it"

Ji Kang was taken aback, immediately took over the burden, and then said "thank you"

"You're welcome, if you have anything new to eat in the future, you can send someone to our house to talk about it."

"it is good"

After the cook left, Ji Kang opened the door and went to Mrs. Luo's room with his bag.

"Mother, daughter-in-law, what's in it?"

"Put it on the kang, open it and have a look"

This opening startled Mrs. Luo. There were two pieces of satin cloth, one light-colored and one dark-colored, and two wooden boxes. When I opened it, I found two sets of silver ornaments, and a long and thin one. Inside the box is a good howling wolf brush.
