Chapter 197
It's rare to see his daughter eager to make a friend, and he knew the Xu family's character to some extent, so he said, "Yes, dad promises you, but you must be polite when you go to other people's homes, you know?"

"Dad, I know!" Wu Xinyi jumped up and said happily.

Magistrate Wu sighed inwardly. He didn't know that he had raised his daughter so innocently and without any care, and he didn't know whether he would be good or bad for her in the future.

When the old man got home, Mrs. Wang couldn't wait to ask: "Old man, how did things go?"

The old man said: "I guess the land deed will be delivered in the next two days."

Wang laughed when she heard this and said happily: "Officials are more efficient in doing things. If we had solved it ourselves, we would probably still be dealing with it now! Master, you said we should buy this land and build houses for the refugees." Is it a loss or a profit?”

The old man waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about the losses or losses. You said that we have such a large piece of land in the town, but not everyone can have it."

Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "That's right. Okay, lunch has been prepared and I'm just waiting for you to come back to eat!"

Magistrate Wu worked very quickly, and even sent a government official to deliver the land deed the next day.

But there was another person who came with him, Wu Xinyi, who Qibao just met yesterday.

Except for the old man, no one else knew who this little girl was.

After the old man explained it to his family, everyone realized that this was the daughter of Magistrate Wu.

"Hello Grandpa Xu, hello Grandma Xu, and hello three aunts." Wu Xinyi said hello to everyone with a smile.

Wang said with a smile on her face: "Hello, Miss Wu, I don't know that Miss Wu will come today, and my family has no preparations. Why don't we stay for a light meal at noon?"

Wu Xinyi said: "Grandma Xu, I'm here to play with sister Yue'er."

Wang said: "Qibao is still learning embroidery in school and won't be back until noon. I will send someone to call her back right now."

Wu Xinyi said: "Grandma Xu, don't bother. I'll wait here. It's almost noon anyway, so I can't delay sister Yue'er from learning embroidery because of me."

Wang smiled and said, "Look, this county magistrate's daughter is different. She is not only polite but also reasonable."

Wu Xinyi blushed rarely when she heard Wang praised her.

Wang said: "Miss Wu, you sit down first, and I'll ask someone to bring some snacks. This is made by our family. It tastes good. You can try it."

Wu Xinyi said: "Thank you, Grandma Xu. You can just call me Xinyi."

Wang also smiled and nodded.

Chunlan brought up a tray at this time, with two plates of snacks and a cup of jam tea.

Wang said: "Xinyi, try it and see if it suits your taste."

Wu Xinyi looked at the two plates of snacks that she had never eaten before, so she unceremoniously picked up a piece of white and bouncy pastry, put it in her mouth and took a bite, the jam inside flowing on the tip of her tongue.

Wu Xinyi's eyes lit up, she took the remaining half piece in her hand and looked at it. The red filling almost flowed out, and she immediately stuffed the remaining half piece into her mouth.

While eating, she said: "Grandma Wu, isn't this snack so delicious? This is the first time I've eaten such a snack! It's both beautiful and delicious!"

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "This snack is only available at my home. You can't buy it outside. If you like to eat it, you can bring some back."

Wu Xinyi nodded politely and said: "Thank you, Grandma Xu. Sister Yue'er is really happy. She has a grandpa, a grandma, a mother, and delicious snacks."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she and her three daughters-in-law looked at each other in astonishment. However, it was a family matter of the magistrate's family and it was not easy for them to interfere. However, they could tell from the words that the child had no mother.

Seeing Wu Xinyi eating with gusto, Wang felt a sense of pity in her heart.

When Qibao came back, he was a little surprised to see Wu Xinyi eating snacks and playing with Xiaoba in his main room.

"Sister Yue'er, you're back!" Wu Xinyi happily greeted Qibao. "Sister Xinyi, why are you here!" Qibao asked.

"I heard that my father wanted to send someone to your house to deliver the land deed. I begged my father for a long time before he allowed me to come to your house. Your snacks are so delicious, and your dog is also very well-behaved." Wu Xinyi said , with an innocent look.

Wang said: "Qibao, please talk to Xinyi. She came to play with you specially today. You have to entertain Xinyi well, do you understand?"

Qibao nodded in agreement.

Wu Xinyi stepped forward and took Qibao's hand: "Sister Yue'er, I came today to bring you a gift."

After saying that, she took out a small silver lock from the purse on her waist and said expectantly: "I have exactly the same one, one for each of us, so we are good friends, right? You are my first good friend." Where’s my friend! Do you like the lock I gave you?”

Qibao knew that Wu Xinyi was eager to make friends, so she did not refuse, accepted it, and said, "Thank you, sister Xinyi. This lock is very beautiful. I like it very much."

When Wu Xinyi heard this, she gave a big smile and said, "Sister Yue'er, your house is really big, and there is a small pond. My house is just me and my father, and there are two young servants, so there is only one yard."

Qibao asked: "Didn't Magistrate Wu assign you a maid?"

"My father said that I am still young and my temper has not yet been decided. I cannot develop the habit of relying on others for everything. I need to complete my own affairs. When I am older, I will buy a maid to accompany me." Wu Xinyi said.

Qibao nodded, Magistrate Wu is a good father.

Qibao took Wu Xinyi for a spin on his long corridor, and the two of them were talking and laughing as they walked.

Qibao said: "It's time to eat soon. After lunch, I will take you around the village."

Wu Xinyi said: "Okay, this is my first time in the village!"

Not long after, Mrs. Wang came over and said, "Qibao took Xinyi to the front hall. The food has been laid out, and your father and the others are also back."

Qibao pulled Wu Xinyi to the front hall, and the smell of food hit her nostrils as soon as she arrived at the door.

"It smells so good!" Wu Xinyi took a deep breath and said.

Wang smiled and said, "Xinyi will try it later to see if it tastes good."

Wu Xinyi nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Uncle Xu and the others had just returned, and it was their first time meeting the daughter of the county magistrate's family. Wang introduced her to Wu Xinyi again.

Wu Xinyi also greeted everyone politely.

"Xinyi, try this sweet and sour pork ribs, you kids all like it." Wang took a piece and put it into Wu Xinyi's bowl.

After Wu Xinyi thanked her, she picked up the ribs and took a bite, praising: "Grandma Xu, it's delicious. This is the first time I've eaten meat with this kind of taste! It's so delicious!"

Mrs. Wang said: "If it's delicious, eat more. There's also a big plate!"

Wu Xinyi was delighted. This was the most delicious meal she had ever had. There were many dishes she had never eaten before.

Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also took great care of Wu Xinyi. They were afraid that she would be embarrassed to pick up vegetables, so they used serving chopsticks to fill her bowl with vegetables.

This was the first time for Wu Xinyi to be cared about by so many people, and her eyes became red as she ate.

Mrs. Wang saw it and said, "Xinyi, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying when you're so good? Is there a dish that doesn't suit your taste?"

Wu Xinyi shook her head, tried hard to hold back her tears, and a smile broke out on her face, saying, "No, the food is delicious, I like it very much."

Wang didn't understand and said, "Since you like it, why are you crying?"
