Nongmen fierce girl head chef

Chapter 685 Go home, thief

After not going home for nearly a month, Lin Yuan felt as if she was reborn again when she came back.

Looking at the calm or smiling faces of passers-by through the car curtain, Lin Yuan felt very cordial.She took a deep breath of the air of her hometown, and the feeling of home is the best!
"Finally home!" Jumping off the carriage, Lin Yuan wished she could rush into Mrs. Liu's arms and smell her mother well.And Lin Jiaxin, who must have missed her too.There is also Xiao Yongyan, I don’t know if he has grown flesh again.

Opening the door full of anticipation, she thought she would see Mrs. Liu hugging her younger brother and looking at her lovingly, and saw the two younger sisters screaming and running to get into her arms.

but……

"Little wolf cub! I am your master! You wolf cub, how dare you snatch something from your master! Is your butt itchy again?"

While stuffing half of the flower rolls that he managed to snatch into his hand, Xiao Linshuang chased after Lao Fan with his short legs and shouted: "I think your legs are itchy again! Are you a master?" You look like a master, you came to snatch your apprentice after eating your own! Is there a master like you?"

Being chased by Xiao Linshuang all over the yard, it is hard to believe that the old man with white beard and hair in front of him is an old man who has passed his sixtieth birthday.

It must be that everyone hasn't found her yet. Lin Yuan comforted herself and shouted with the loudest voice in her life: "I'm back!"

Lin Yuan was excited to see that Xiao Linshuang, who was chasing the flower roll, finally shook her head at her. Just when she thought that the little girl would run over to give her a big hug, the girl didn't even stop her footsteps. Continue to chase Lao Fan for the remaining half of the rolls.

Lin Yuan even opened her arms, but she didn't expect to embrace only air!

Sure enough, for foodies, food is always the first priority!

Fortunately, Lin Jiaxin and his wife did not disappoint her. They hugged her and loved her for a while, which comforted Lin Yuan's wounded heart.

"Oh, so you're here too?" Xia Zheng, who entered the door one step later than Lin Yuan, saw Lao Fan holding half a flower scroll at a glance, and smiled darkly with raised brows.

Hearing Xia Zheng's voice, Lao Fan's eyes widened immediately, he didn't even care about the scroll in his hand, he turned and ran away.

Xia Zheng narrowed his eyes and raised his left hand: "Oh, this new medicinal food from Xiangmanlou is really delicious. I specially brought it from Yecheng to honor you. You really don't want to eat it?"

Lao Fan ran away at a constant speed, and it was too late to turn his head back. He shouted as he ran, "Old man, I have eaten the medicinal food made by the little girl a long time ago, so I don't care about it!"

Ah!
I haven't seen you for a few days, I'm going to be promising!

Putting down the medicinal food, Xia Zheng raised his right hand: "Well, don't be just right! It's really pleasant to eat medicinal food with fine wine!"

Putting the wine jar on the stone table, Xia Zheng opened the seal, and immediately, a strong aroma of wine wafted out, and the whole yard was filled with the aroma of this wine.

Lao Fan, who was about to hide in the room, moved his nose and stopped unconsciously, but his mouth was still stiff: "What kind of broken wine, old man, I don't care for it! The wine that Min girl honors me is more fragrant and thicker than this wine !"

Lao Fan first healed Lin Jiaxin's leg, then recuperated Zheng Ruyue's weak body, and was also Xiao Linshuang's master. Liu Limin was grateful to him and often gave him some good wine brewed by himself.

The wines of the Liu Family Winery are indeed better now, but apart from rice wine and fruit wine, the Liu Family Winery still hasn't produced their own specialty wines.So compared with Anjia Winery, it is worse.

Xia Zheng deliberately moved closer to the wine jar and took a deep breath, then shook his head intoxicated, and couldn't help admiring: "Good wine! The wine from Anjia Winery is extraordinary! It's really rich, no wonder There are also many people in the capital rushing for it!"

Anjia Winery?

Lao Fan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help licking his lips with his tongue. He had drunk the wine from Anjia Winery before, and it was indeed extraordinary!
"Is it really the wine from Anjia Winery?"

Xia Zheng nodded: "Of course, you can still lie to me?"

This wine is indeed from Anjia Winery, and it is more than one jar.Because Xia Zheng and Lin Yuan helped An Jie a lot, An Jie brewed a new wine specially for Xiang Man Lou.In this way, Xiangmanlou and Yecheng can be regarded as evenly divided in terms of drinks.

"That, this..." Lao Fan stopped running, and even started to back away slowly, but when he thought of that little devil Xia Zheng, he still couldn't bear to ask him for a drink after all.

"Come here! Come and taste this wine, how does it taste?" Xia Zheng called Lin Jiaxin and Xiao Linshuang to sit around the stone table, and poured Lin Jiaxin a glass of wine, "How is it?"

When he smelled the aroma of the wine, the alcohol bug in Lin Jiaxin's stomach became restless, and he took a sip lightly. Lin Jiaxin closed his eyes and thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but praise: "Tsk tsk, it's not that I look down on your aunt, This wine from the An family is really much better than the wine from the Liu family winery!"

This is to the point!

Xiao Linshuang stood on tiptoe: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I want to try it too!"

"What kind of wine do children drink! Go to the house and talk to your elder sister!" Lin Jiaxin deliberately put on a tiger's face and scolded his little daughter.

Xia Zheng glanced at the wine jar in his hand eagerly, and deliberately poured a glass for Xiao Linshuang: "It's okay, just taste a little."

"Thank you brother-in-law!" Xiao Linshuang stretched out her little hand with a sweet smile, but before she could catch the wine glass, a pair of big hands jumped over her and snatched the wine glass away!

"Master! Master! That's the wine my brother-in-law gave me, mine!"

The wine that was about to be available was suddenly robbed halfway, Xiao Linshuang was so anxious that his eyes were about to burst into flames!

And the old fan who snatched the wine and ran away poured the wine into his mouth while laughing: "What kind of wine are you drinking! Tsk tsk, let me drink such a strong wine, so as not to drink you stupid Cough cough, oops, I choked the old man's son to death! Oh, it's gone!"

Seeing Lao Fan choking with anxiety, Xia Zheng couldn't help curling his lips: "There are plenty of such good wines in Yecheng, hey, a certain person just doesn't have that blessing, let him go to Yecheng to drink, He still doesn't want to go!"

Lao Fan licked his wine glass aggrievedly, knowing that the little overlord held grudges.Hey, who made him greedy for Liu Limin's new wine those few days? If he knew that An's family had released new wine, he wouldn't have given up that good job to the little wolf cub!

The child grows the fastest, and it's only been a month since we saw each other. Little Yongyan changed his appearance again, becoming whiter and fatter. His big round eyes are very clever. When he saw Lin Yuan, he opened his small hand to let her hug him. .

"Little brother is so good!" Reaching out to take Xiao Yongyan, Lin Yuan realized that the clothes on his body were newly made, they fit and were soft, and couldn't help boasting: "Mother's craftsmanship is really good, look at this The little dress is so pretty!"

Mrs. Liu was helping Lin Yuan sort out the presents she brought back, and she couldn't help laughing and joking when she heard her daughter's words: "You just don't like to be a female celebrity, and you can't even tell that the clothes are not made by your mother."

Lin Yuan smiled embarrassedly: "Mother, you know, I don't know anything about female celebrities, how can I tell this? If it wasn't Mother who did it, then Erya did it? Erya is also good at this craft, so I made it The clothes are getting better and better."

Lin Wei, who was lowering her head to organize things, suddenly came back to her senses, smiled and shook her head: "I didn't do it either."

It's not Liu's or Lin Yuan, could it be that they bought it?

Before Lin Yuan could speak again, Mrs. Liu lifted her chin to the neighbor and said in a low voice, "Your grandma did it."

Young?Lin Yuan couldn't help being startled.

While tidying up her things, Mrs. Liu said, "Your grandma has been living here for almost half a month, and she hasn't gone out. That morning, your father was planning to go to the field to have a look, when he saw a small bundle at the door of our house just after opening the door." In that bundle are two boys' clothes and two pairs of tiger-toed shoes."

Mrs. Liu sighed: "Your grandma and I have lived together for many years. How could I not see your grandma's craftsmanship? I just took a look at the clothes and knew it was your grandma's work." Mind, I will stay."

Lin Yuan understood Liu's mood.Lin Jianling died miserably, and now there is only this old lady left, lonely, no matter how many mistakes she made in the past, she should let go.After all, she was Lin Jiaxin's own mother.

"Mother, it must be inconvenient for her to live alone. Now that we live close together, if there is anything delicious, send some to her."

Seeing Lin Yuan being so reasonable, Mrs. Liu couldn't help laughing, but then sighed helplessly: "Your grandma secretly put away her clothes, and your father and I guessed that it was because we didn't want the eldest and third children to know about it and gossip. , I asked your father to put some rice noodles at your grandma's door. I didn't expect, hey, I didn't expect to send it back intact the next morning. Your grandma, she feels ashamed and feels sorry We don't want to accept it!"

Lin Yuan nodded, thinking that her father had given her money, and that the money was entrusted to the old village chief for safekeeping, so there should be no shortage of food or drink.

"Mother, if we want to give me milk in the future, we will send it to the old village chief's house."

Liu's eyes lit up: "That's right, it just so happened that your naive uncle sent you all the food and drink for your milk. In order not to make the people in the old house suspicious, I only sent a little each time, and deliberately said yes It was given by the old village chief. Well, we will do this in the future.”

Mrs. Liu happily tapped Lin Yuan's forehead, and said with a smile, "As expected of my daughter, she is smart!"

Lin Yuan burst into laughter, this mother, she likes to joke more and more.

The couple laughed heartily, but Lin Wei on the side kept her head down and sorted the things in her hands, her little brows were tightly frowned, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Lin Yuan poked her with her elbow: "What's wrong? I'm absent-minded."

Lin Wei regained consciousness suddenly, glanced at Mrs. Liu, then at Eldest Sister, and said with a smile, "I was thinking that Eldest Sister will have something delicious tonight when you are back."

Mrs. Liu took Xiao Yongyan from Lin Yuan, nursed him, and said with feigned anger: "Why, do you dislike the bad food cooked by mother?"

"How can it be? Mother's cooking is the best. Didn't you see that even the old man is scrambling to eat it?" Lin Wei quickly put her arms around Liu's arm, giggling and flattering her.

"Smelly girl! Alright, Yongyan is going to sleep, you two go to that room to play." After sending the two sisters away, Liu put Xiao Yongyan on the kang, and put his slippers on the kang. Supporting his body with his hands to feed his son, he couldn't help laughing when he saw how his son was eating happily.

The two sisters returned to their room lightly. Lin Yuan closed the door and asked, "Ah, are you hiding something from me?"

Lin Wei was taken aback, hesitated for a while, and finally, under Lin Yuan's repeated questioning, said, "Sister, something happened in our village during the month you left."

"What's the matter?" Upon hearing that something had happened, Lin Yuan's nerves tensed up: "Did the people from the old house come to make trouble?"

"No, no." Lin Wei waved her hands again and again: "Yes, a thief came to our village, and he has already stolen several houses. Lanhua's house, sister-in-law Guizhi's house, as long as the conditions in the village are a little better, almost all of them are taken away. stole."

It turned out to be a thief!
Guizhi's sister-in-law's family made money selling Liangpi and rocking chairs, and now the whole family has moved to live in the town, so there is no one to take care of the house.This gave the thief an opportunity. If the third aunt hadn't come back to look suddenly that day, she wouldn't have known that the house had been stolen.

As for the theft of Lanhua's house, it was an accident. After Lin Changqing opened his furniture store in the town, he often lived in the town.Not to mention Lanhua, the tofu workshop is almost half of her home.

The thief slipped in while Lin Fugui and Aunt Wang were driving an ox cart to town, turned the house upside down, and even took away the taels of silver that Aunt Wang had hidden in her old cotton shoes.Fortunately, Aunt Wang has a good heart and has already deposited the family's money in the silver building. Otherwise, all the family's belongings would have been stolen by thieves.

However, from the theft of Lanhua's house, it can be seen that the thief knew the situation of each household in Linjia'ao very well. It can only be said that this thief is not from another village, but should be from his own village!
Lin Wei nodded: "The old village chief said the same thing. Since this incident, people in the village have been panicked. Even when they go to the fields during the day, they will keep someone at home, for fear of being patronized by thieves."

"Where is our house? Has the thief come?" This is what Lin Yuan is most worried about. Now the richest family in Lin Jia'ao is not the old village chief's family, Lan Hua and Gui Zhi's sister-in-law's family, but their family.

Lin Wei bit her lips, and nodded with difficulty: "Here we are, but we didn't steal it. Our father has been guarding against him! As soon as he entered the yard, he was caught in a mousetrap set by our father! He was so scared that he turned around." Just run away!"

"Why didn't you tell me about this?" Lin Yuan was a little anxious, no wonder when she was talking to Liu Shi just now, she always felt that Liu Shi's eyes were a little dodgy.

"Aren't parents worried that you are worried? You and your brother-in-law are too busy in Yecheng. If you tell you about family affairs, you will have to worry about it if you can't come back. Why don't you tell me! Anyway, nothing happened at home. , forget it."

Lin Yuan frowned. Even though she said that, she was still a little scared when she thought about it. What if the people in the house were not thieves but robbers?What if Lin Jiaxin didn't prepare the mousetrap in advance, or the mousetrap failed to catch the thief?This is a terrible event!
"No, if the thief is from our village, we have to catch him quickly!" Lin Yuan couldn't sit still anymore, "What did the old village chief say?"

"The old village head also said the same thing. Let a few well-behaved elder brothers and uncles in the village patrol the village. Not to mention it really works. It's been seven or eight days now, and the thief hasn't come out again!" Lin Wei couldn't bear it. Stop smiling.

This is a good way, but Lin Yuan also knows that this kind of method is only a temporary solution, not the root cause, and the most fundamental method is to catch the thief.

"By the way, didn't you say that our father set a mousetrap for that thief? Did our father see that man?"

Lin Wei frowned: "I heard from our mother that the thief had already climbed over the wall when our father chased him out. I don't know if he saw it."

You still have to ask Lin Jiaxin himself about this matter.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan also left.

Upon hearing that it was about a thief, Lin Jiaxin's eyes flickered, and he laughed and laughed: "That thief, I, I didn't see what he looked like."

"What about his figure? Didn't you see him climb the wall to get out? You should be able to see his back?" Lin Yuan asked without giving up.

"Well, let me think about it." Lin Jiaxin held his chin with one hand, walked for two steps, seemed to be in deep thought, then turned around and said, "I remember, that thief is of medium build, neither fat nor thin, it should be, It should be about the same as me. Well, it seems, about 40 years old? No, no, it should be younger, otherwise I won’t be able to climb the wall!”

Listening to her father's specious inference, Lin Yuan couldn't help but touch her forehead. Could it be that her father's memory has degraded to this point?It was only a few days ago, and I almost forgot about it.

After talking about the thief with Lin Jiaxin, Lin Yuan felt depressed for a while.

Xia Zheng smiled and patted her on the head, jokingly said: "Fool, haven't you figured it out yet? Dad doesn't want to tell you the real situation of that thief!"

"What? Why?" Lin Yuan patted her forehead, and changed her words: "No, you mean Dad knows who the thief is?"

Xia Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Of course, otherwise, why would Dad gossip on purpose? Not only does Dad know who the thief is, but he should also be familiar with him, and he doesn't want others to catch him."

Lin Yuan frowned, and rethought what Lin Jiaxin said just now and his facial expressions and movements when he spoke. Sure enough, as Xia Zheng said, he knew who the thief was!

"What's wrong with Dad? Why did you cover up that thief? No, I have to go back and ask him. Doesn't he know that there is such a person in the village, which will make everyone feel uneasy?"

As she said that, Lin Yuan was about to go into the room to ask Lin Jiaxin, but Xia Zheng pulled her back before taking two steps.

"Yuan'er, forget it. Since Dad doesn't want to talk about it, there must be his reasons. We have to have confidence in him, so it's better not to interfere this time." After persuading Lin Yuan, Xia Zheng took her little hand He squeezed his palms, and said with a smile: "What we have to do now is to find some skilled guards in the town, if the thief doesn't repent, or if he has a grudge against father, then we can take precautions. "

This is true!

"Yes, hire a few guards, not only to guard against thieves, but also guard against some people with bad intentions. The business in the town is too busy, and there are only parents and younger siblings at home, so I don't feel at ease."

The matter of hiring guards has to be done. Early the next morning, Xia Zheng and Lin Yuan took a carriage to Zhuma Town. First, let shopkeeper Liu go to a trustworthy martial arts school to hire a few reliable guards. , the two went to Daohuaxiang to have a look again.

During this month, Lin Yuan was not in the town, and nothing happened to Daohuaxiang and Fumanlou, which made her very relieved.

After coming out of Daohuaxiang, it was still early, so I went to the tofu workshop again.

From a distance, Lin Yuan saw a man and a woman standing at the door of the tofu shop talking in the carriage.The man turned his back to her and couldn't see his face clearly, but the woman's appearance was clear at a glance, who wasn't Lan Hua?
Today's Lanhua is wearing a long dress embroidered with pink hibiscus and a silver hairpin with emerald flowers on her head. At first glance, she looks very elegant and refined.

What caught Lin Yuan's eyes even more was Lanhua's smile, which was so dazzling, even more dazzling than the warm sun in spring.And the looming shyness on his face, it really makes people unable to resist stepping forward to kiss her!
This is the first time Lin Yuan has seen such an orchid!

Lin Yuan became even more curious about that man.

The carriage approached slowly, Lan Hua saw Lin Yuan first, and her little face became even redder.

"orchid!"

Lin Yuan hurried over as soon as she got off the carriage, and turned to look at the man, whoops, isn't this an old acquaintance?

　I originally wanted to write about this man, but, haha, I got stuck once too~
　　Come on, guess who this man is?There is a prize for guessing right~(*^__^*)~
