Chapter 84
It was already mid-afternoon when the two arrived home, and the sun hung slanting in the sky, giving the whole house a shimmering light.

Bai was wandering around the yard holding Little Brother Jiang, coaxing her softly. The little baby, who had just woken up, was full of energy. His little hands were raised in the air, and his round fingers kept grabbing, not knowing what he was looking for.

Seeing the two people pushing the door open, Bai asked with a smile: "Why have you been here for so long? Are you spoiled for choice?"

After her reminder, the father and daughter remembered the purpose of going to the city today.

Jiang Jinyu looked at her father accusingly. Not only did he forget to buy her jewelry, but he also sent her to school. This was so dear to him!
Jiang Mingshun looked away guiltily: "Isn't this delayed by something?"

Bai looked at the two of them blankly, not knowing what they were confused about.

Jiang Jinyu waved her hands with a vicissitudes of life on her face: "Let my father tell you."

After that, he turned around and returned to his room with heavy steps, his back was quite bleak.

Distracted by school, Jiang Jinyu also forgot about her previous anxiety about getting married. She spent several days at home with a sullen expression on her face, all she could think about was "If we don't have fun now, we won't have time to have fun when we go to school." , the whole person entered the "countdown to happy life" half a month before the start of the university that year, and he was simply counting the days.

This morning, Jiang Mingshun went to the village early. Although he no longer had to keep an eye on it, he couldn't just let it go. After all, it was his own village, so he had to go and have a look every now and then.

Bai took Brother Jiang to the butcher's house to buy meat, leaving Jiang Jinyu alone at home.

She was awakened by a sudden knock on the door.

Jiang Jinyu suddenly sat up from the kang, and was in a daze for a moment, and then put on his clothes with a distracted look. It was obvious that even though he was awake, his soul was still in his dream.

Perhaps because there was no movement in the house, the knocking on the door outside became louder, and the sound of "bang bang bang" was mixed with some voices.

"Mingshun! Mingshun! Are you at home?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Jinyu's hand that was holding up his pants twitched, and he quickly stepped on his shoes and ran out, shouting loudly: "Coming, coming."

As soon as the door opened, he was immediately surrounded by people.

Jiang Jinyu looked at the circle of people in confusion, and finally his eyes fell on the two people surrounded in the middle who were obviously dressed differently from the people around them.

She squinted her eyes and looked carefully. Many pictures flashed through her mind in the flash of lightning, and finally stopped at the county government hall.

Seeing the familiar clothes, Jiang Jinyu looked away silently. Couldn't these two be government officials from the county?

"Mother Fish, who is your father? Call him out quickly." Village Chief Li followed the yamen servant not far away, looking a little nervous.

At this time, it was rare for people to see officials. When passing the county government office, one had to walk quickly, let alone a government official coming to visit.

Village Chief Li almost knelt down on the spot when the yamen came to his door this morning. Fortunately, he had been the village chief for many years and had had some dealings with people from the government, but this was the first time he had been called to his door.

The yamen servant didn't tell him what he was looking for, so he only asked him to take him to Jiang Mingshun's house.

While they were working, many villagers saw a few people and saw the village chief leading the way, so some bold ones quietly followed behind, gradually forming a large team of more than a dozen people.

Village Chief Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the government officials didn't drive anyone away. It seemed like it wasn't a bad thing.

Jiang Jinyu turned sideways and invited the person into the courtyard: "My father has gone to the county, and my mother is not at home either."

"Only me."

It was difficult to talk about Zhuangzi, so Jiang Jinyu used the county seat as a shield.

"This..." Village Chief Li looked at the yamen servant in embarrassment. If he went to the fields, he could still find someone to call him, but now in the county town, he couldn't easily find someone.The government officials didn't care. One of them waved his hand and said, "No problem, we'll wait here for a while."

They were just on this same errand today. They had to go to the county office earlier and were called to do other things. It would be better to rest here for a while.

Seeing them standing motionless in the yard, Jiang Jinyu thought for a while, went to the side of Village Chief Li, and whispered to the Village Chief to invite them to the house to entertain them.

Although she is the only master of the house now and is confident that she can entertain guests well, she is still an ignorant little baby in the eyes of others.

Letting a little baby entertain guests would make people think that they are being looked down upon by the host.

Village Chief Li understood and looked at Jiang Jinyu in surprise. He often heard Jiang Mingshun bragging about his daughter's intelligence. Even if he had heard it, who wouldn't say that his own child was good?
Now that I see her as a child, but she can understand these principles, I really believe it.

Village Chief Li had a smile on his face: "I don't know when Jiang Mingshun will be back. Why don't you two go inside and have a rest?"

The two officers looked at each other and took the lead to enter the main room.

The village chief was chatting with someone, so Jiang Jinyu put some fruits and snacks on the table, boiled water to make tea, and then sat quietly next to Village Chief Li, like a young lady.

Not long after, Bai hurried back with her child in her arms.

It turned out that an aunt from the clan who came to watch the fun saw Jiang Mingshun not at home and remembered that she had met Bai when she went out in the morning.

She was worried that the guards would blame her, so she thought of calling someone back who could take charge, so she quietly left to find Bai.

Bai's face was pale. Firstly, she was walking too fast on the road and now she was a little distracted. Secondly, after hearing a few unclear words from her aunt, she really thought that the government officials had come to arrest someone at home.

When she arrived at the door of her house, she saw a group of people gathered in front of her. Bai was so frightened that she almost fainted.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way," she said in a panic, pushing through the crowd and squeezing in: "Let me in."

When people around saw that it was Bai, they consciously made way for her.

After finally entering the main room, Ms. Bai felt a little relieved when she saw that the atmosphere inside was quite good and her daughter was safe and sound.

An adult came back, and even though it was a female family member, the Yamen servant also thought about it and let it slip a little, saying that he was only here for the night of the Lantern Festival.

If you ask for more details, they won't go into details.

When the police officer entered the village, Jiang Jinpeng was playing with several children in the village at the end of the village. It was they who took the police officer who came to ask for directions to the village chief's home.

Jiang Jinpeng was young and had never been to the city. Naturally, he didn't know the government officials. He only heard on the road that government officials came to arrest Jiang Mingshun.

Although he didn't know what yamen meant, Jiang Jinpeng remembered this sentence.

After the village chief took the people away, there was no one to continue playing with him, so Jiang Jinpeng strolled back home.

When we got home, only Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were at home.

Jiang Jinpeng looked for Mrs. Liu and learned from her what he had just heard outside.

"What did you say?" Mrs. Liu threw the carrot in her hand in disbelief, broke off her youngest son's head, stared at him and said: "Who did you hear that? Where did you say it? Tell your mother again! "
