Chapter 224 Visiting the Village Chief’s Home
Sun Li was leading the way, and the carriage followed behind him.
Soon, they arrived outside a yard and Sun Lizheng stopped.
Walking from the village entrance to here and looking around along the way, I have a general idea of the situation in the village.
There are a few blue brick and tile houses in Dashi Village, but not many;
Most of them are adobe houses.
There are also a few dilapidated thatched houses mixed in.
Sun Lizheng's family should be a family that lives a good life.
Qingyi stretched out his hand and respectfully helped Leng Rongyue down from the carriage.
The people in purple and green followed Leng Rongyue and got off the carriage.
Sun Lizheng looked at Leng Rongyue a few more times.
He knew that this pretty girl was the one in charge among the group.
Although the girl is young and dressed simply, she gives people a sense of trust and reliability.
Perhaps it is just as the saying goes: Don’t judge a book by its cover, and don’t judge the ocean by its depth!
You can't look down on someone just because she is young or a little girl.
The girl dares to go out and do business, she is not an ordinary person!
Besides, don’t be fooled by his plain clothes, this is the etiquette for going out to do business.
There are only a few girls going out, but they have to be dressed in silk and have their hair covered with pearls and jade?
That's simply inviting thieves!
Thinking of this, Sun Lizheng became even more polite.
There were several children around eight or nine years old following the carriage from a distance, and they were all looking at it with curious eyes.
These children were holding their younger brothers and sisters by the hands.
Seeing that the carriage had stopped, they all stood under the tree opposite Sun Lizheng's house, still looking at the carriage and the horses.
Sun Lizheng stood at the gate of his own courtyard, holding out his hand to let people in. "This is my home, ladies, please come in!"
"Thank you! Sorry for bothering you!" Leng Rongyue smiled politely, turned around and told the coachman in blue, "You stay outside and watch over our carriage."
Oh, those kids over there are so cute, give them some candy!"
"Got it, miss!" The girl in blue responded politely, turned around, took out a bag of candy from the carriage, and distributed it to the children who were standing there watching eagerly.
The children looked at the candies handed to them and couldn't help licking their lips, their eyes full of surprise.
Several younger children were drooling.
The man in blue distributed candies to the children with a gentle smile.
The children were so happy when they saw the candies in their hands and the candies that Lan Yi put into her little pocket. They stood there without saying a word or moving, just looking at Lan Yi and Leng Rongyue!
"Okay, say thank you and go have fun!" Sun Lizheng said with a smile.
The children bowed shyly to Leng Rongyue and the people in blue, then the older ones led the younger ones and ran away chattering.
Leng Rongyue smiled as she watched the children running away, and only looked away after a while.
Zi Yi took a few more bags of snacks from the carriage.
Leng Rongyue then brought the men in blue, purple and green, and followed Sun Lizheng into the yard.
As Sun Lizheng walked into the yard, he called out, "Old lady, boil some water and make some tea. We have a distinguished guest at home!"
As Sun Lizheng finished speaking, an old woman with gray hair came out from the kitchen. This was Sun Lizheng's wife, Mrs. Wu.
Mrs. Wu was wearing a half-worn dress and had a kind face, which made people feel comfortable when looking at her.
She came forward while wiping her hands on her apron and said, "Hey, where are these pretty girls from? Come in! Come in!"
Zi Yi took a few steps forward and handed over a few bags of snacks in her hand.
Sun Lizheng's wife, Mrs. Wu, looked at the snacks handed to her by Ziyi and quickly turned to look at her husband.
When Sun Lizheng saw Leng Rongyue coming to him for something, he was very polite. This shows that he values himself!
Sun Lizheng was very happy, so he said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, we are grateful for it!"
Since Li Zheng Sun said so, Mrs. Wu hurriedly smiled and thanked him, then took the packets of snacks.
Mrs. Wu turned around and ran into the kitchen again.
Sun Lizheng accompanied Leng Rongyue and others into the main house.
After they sat down and exchanged a few pleasantries, Mrs. Wu came in with a pot of tea and a few teacups.
The number of teacups that Wu took included Qingyi, Ziyi and the others.
But as soon as she stepped over the threshold, she saw only Leng Rongyue and Sun Lizheng sitting on her left and right.
The other three girls stood obediently behind Leng Rongyue.
Wu has followed Li Zheng Sun for so many years, so she is not a village woman who knows nothing.
Seeing this scene, Wu naturally understood that these people were divided into master and servants.
Wu walked to the Eight Immortals Table, put down the teapot and teacups, poured a cup of tea first, and placed it on Leng Rongyue's side;
He poured another cup and placed it next to his partner.
As for the rest...she didn't know what to do.
She didn't know whether she should take out the extra cups?
Or just leave it like this?
Leng Rongyue saw what Mrs. Wu was thinking and said with a smile, "Thank you for the tea. We are a little thirsty after walking all the way."
As he said that, Leng Rongyue turned to look at the people in blue and said, "Why don't you all sit down and have a cup of tea? Don't let their kindness go to waste!
By the way, Green-clad, please bring a cup of tea to Blue-clad outside. She just said she was thirsty."
"Yes, miss!" Green Clothes responded, walked straight forward, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of water, and walked out with it.
After Leng Rongyue said this, the old couple Sun Lizheng no longer had to worry.
