Chapter 336: Raising a Dad
Lin Jiaojiao no longer worried about this salary, as it was better than nothing.
"Is stepmother not in a hurry to go back?"
"Well, I'll be back the day after tomorrow."
"Mother, you have been traveling all day and you must have worked hard. It is getting dark now and I will take you to see the planting situation tomorrow. Come inside and have a good rest first."
"Don't worry, your godfather is still behind."
She asked why she didn't see Jiang's father and Lan Qi, and it turned out they were still behind.
She immediately turned around and glanced at Lin Yiyan and the others. After seeing that they were fine, she gave instructions to Lan Yi.
"Lan Yi, quickly take the sisters to the courtyard to rest. They have been tired on the journey. Ask the guys in the courtyard to prepare more fruits and snacks."
"Yes, I'll go right now."
The leading guard got the approval of Prefect Jiang, and then led the team and followed Lan to the courtyard where they were resting.
And the things bestowed by the Empress were carried into the house one by one by Zhao Bo and his men.
The village heads who were still kneeling in the distance saw that the cavalry guards had left, but when they saw the prefect in official uniform still standing outside, they didn't know whether they should get up.
As the team gradually moved away, Lin Jiaojiao noticed the rear area blocked by the carriage. She quickly waved to the head of the village and the others to get up quickly.
When Li Zhengjian was able to get up, she propped herself up and stood up. Her knees still hurt from kneeling. Just as she was about to rub them, she heard the sound of car wheels again from behind. She was so scared that she knelt back down again.
Her kneeling immediately prompted the villagers who had just stood up behind her to kneel down as well, and they all prostrated themselves on the ground waiting for the carriage to pass by.
There were two mounted guards in front of the carriage. The villagers kneeling as they passed by were a little surprised. Do they have to perform such a grand ceremony when meeting the prefect's husband?
Lin Jiaojiao didn't expect such a misunderstanding to happen, but she didn't have enough manpower and couldn't send anyone to get them up, so she could only watch the carriage drive up to them.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the first person to get off was a servant, followed by another servant. However, Lin Jiaojiao recognized at a glance that the first person to get off was Lan Qi.
The servant who came down later helped Jiang's father down, and Jiang's father came in front of them with a gentle smile.
"Jiao Jie'er, congratulations on your promotion. I was delayed in Nanshan for some time and kept you waiting for a long time. I'm sorry to bother you these two days."
"Thank you, godfather. I won't bother you. Fu Qi was asking when you would arrive the day before yesterday. Let's go inside and talk slowly."
"Come in quickly."
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he looked at Lin Jiaojiao's doctor Lang Lin Yiyan's belly. When he heard that she was pregnant with twins, he was a little skeptical, but now he believes it.
Looking at Fu Qi's belly next to her, it is obviously much smaller. With this comparison, no one should think that Fu Qi's belly is in the wrong month.
He moved his gaze to the side again, and only when he saw the man wearing a veiled hat did he retract his gaze and followed Jiang's mother into the house.
The group walked back home, while Lin Yizhi and Lan Qi stayed behind to make arrangements for the people brought by Jiang's father.
Lin Yizhi saw three middle-aged men coming down from another carriage and walking quickly towards him. They first bowed to him and then followed him into the house.
Lan Qi explained: "Those three are Yu Daddy. Yes, I am Lan Qi. Second Husband can ask me to do anything in the future."
Lin Yizhi heard from Lin Jiaojiao in the morning that a male doctor named Lan Qi would come. He knew at that time that he was sent by Qi Yao, and his previous complaints against him were also somewhat eliminated.
Who says there are so few male doctors in the world?
"I'm fine, just take care of the first and third husbands."
"This is what I should do. How about I take the remaining guards and servants away?"
Lin Yizhi turned his head to look at him and asked in surprise: "Do you know which courtyard it is?"
He smiled and nodded: "Yes, as long as Lan Yi is nearby, I can find her."
Lin Yizhi also understood that this man not only knew medicine but also martial arts.
"Okay, I'll trouble you."
"Second husband, please don't ask if it's troublesome or not. This is what I should do. I will take the people down first."
Lin Yizhi nodded and watched him lead his men away. At this time, the village head and others also came to him.
"Did Zhigeer receive a reward from above?"
He listened to the excited voice of the head of the village, smiled and nodded.
"Yes, my wife just received an imperial decree and was conferred the title of seventh-rank farmer."
Before he finished speaking, exclamations suddenly rang out from all around.
"Oh my god! A seventh-rank official!"
"This is incredible! Our Linjia Village has produced an official!"
"Who said it wasn't! Our Linjia Village finally has an official. From now on, we can stand up straight when we go out."
"Our Master Lin, no, now we should call him Master Lin..."
The head of the village was so happy that his mouth was wide open with smiles. Before, the village opened a school, which made the heads of other villages extremely envious. Now that an official has been appointed, they are probably so jealous that their teeth will ache.
"Congratulations, congratulations! Our Linjia Village has benefited greatly from having Master Lin. Thank you so much."
"Congratulations, brother Zhi, my family has just ground some tofu. I'll go get it right away. It's all a little gift from auntie."
"Yes, yes, yes. I will also go back and get some fruit. Congratulations to Master Lin..."
Once this started, everyone else ran back home to get their things for fear of being a step behind others. Lin Yizhi said that it was not necessary, but no one listened to him, so he didn't say anything else.
He would wait for Lin Dada to come back later and ask her to distribute some things to the employees and villagers to celebrate.
My wife has suddenly become a seventh-rank official, so I have to hold a banquet no matter what. I can't invite the whole village, but I can give some gifts.
When the village head saw that everyone had run away, she was about to go back to catch an old rooster, but was stopped by Lin Yizhi.
"Village head, please inform the villagers to go to the entrance of plot number 3 of the vegetable garden at sunset, and each household will receive some fruits and vegetables. I hope everyone can share in the joy of my wife's promotion."
"It's not a problem, it's not that our Linjia Village is benefiting from you, I'll go right away."
In the room.
The whole family was sitting in the main room. Uncle Zhao cut the watermelon and brought it up. Lin Jiaojiao quickly asked Jiang's mother and father to taste it.
"It's refreshing and not mushy, sweet and thirst-quenching."
Jiang's father also agreed with Jiang's mother's evaluation, but he did not forget the three people waiting outside the door. He waved to them.
"Come in, everyone."
Everyone looked over, and at this moment Fu Qi's surprised voice was heard.
"Daddy!"
The middle-aged man whom Fu Qiu called "daddy" raised his head slightly and cast a look of joy at Fu Qiu, then came to Lin Jiaojiao and the others and bowed.
Father Jiang introduced them one by one: "The one on the left is the father of the nurse from Lord Su's house. Lord Su knew that Yan'er was about to give birth and sent him here to help take care of the child. The one in the middle is from my house. He has experience in nursing and taking care of Huai'er."
Hearing this, Jiang Huai, who was sitting next to Fu Qi, blushed. He didn't expect that his wet dad would be sent by his father. He suddenly thought of something, his heart trembled and his face became even redder.
He was wearing a veil and no one noticed anything unusual, but Lin Jiaojiao secretly glanced at him and found out that it was his wet dad.
"The one on the right is Xiaoqiu's wet dad."
Father Jiang then turned his head to Fu Qi and said, "Xiao Qi, although it's still early for you to give birth, your brother-in-law and his family are still in Kyoto and haven't returned yet. They are worried about you, so they asked me to send Zeng Yudie to you first."
Fu Qi certainly understood the reason and said gratefully, "Thank you, little uncle."
After the introduction, Jiang's father also gave the indentures of the three of them to Lin Jiaojiao.
She took it and asked Uncle Zhao to take the people down and make arrangements. Then she talked with Jiang's mother about the transportation and distribution of potatoes tomorrow.
Seeing that everyone in the room was his own, Jiang's father could no longer hold back and shouted at Jiang Huai.
"Huai'er, come and sit here."
