Chapter 123 Book
"How about this, I'll ask Ping An to go and ask the bookstore owner." Gu Changsheng said, "But do you want to buy anything for my godfather?"
Gu Changsheng brought the topic back again, and Lin Jingzhe was in a headache. "My dad seems to be missing everything, but he also seems to be missing nothing in particular."
Gu Changsheng thought hard, "My father has everything he needs, but it's me who's worried about what to buy."
Lin Xiaoman thought for a moment and said, "But giving gifts is a token of our thoughts. I'm sure they will like whatever we buy."
Leisure days always pass by in a flash.
At noon, Lin Xiaoman and her friends had another meal of mutton noodle soup. When leaving, she asked the store owner to buy a portion of mutton.
"My parents must have never eaten mutton. Let's buy some for them to try."
After hearing what she said, Xie Ci'an and Gu Changsheng also bought it.
The news brought back safely was that the best-selling storybook in the bookstores in Jialin County was the struggle story of a poor scholar, who worked hard all the way until he passed the imperial examination and married the daughter of a high-ranking official, and from then on his life was full of joy.
The more you lack something, the more you like to watch it.
After all, one can find solace in picture books.
On the way back to Dayi Town from Jialin County, Lin Xiaoman began to think about the storybook.
After all, the world is still dominated by cool novels. The routines are all the same and no matter how they change, they remain essentially the same.
Before she traveled through the book, she had few friends, her personality was not likable, and she was rather withdrawn.
Apart from cooking, shooting videos, and doing live broadcasts for money for the sponsor, he basically stays at home.
He is a loyal reader of all kinds of criminal investigation, detective, domineering, farming, and rule-based weird novels on Rotten Tomatoes.
As long as it's nice-looking and interesting, she's not picky about the type.
The most important thing is that she doesn't argue with the author. After all, reading novels is for fun.
If you don't like it, just swipe away and wait for the next better book.
After all, cooking delicious food, shooting videos, and working overtime for live broadcasts every day are already hard enough, and she doesn't have that much energy to even spend time reading a novel.
I wonder if the wealthy scholars in Jialin County would like stories about criminal investigations and coroners, in addition to those about scholarly pursuits?
Want to try it?
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoman set his sights on Xie Ci'an.
Maybe I want to collaborate with him and write a story first.
If there is no splash, the matter can be left alone. It won't be a loss for him anyway.
Xie Ci'an, who was taking a nap, seemed to sense something and looked sideways in the direction of the gaze.
The girl had curved eyebrows and was giving him a friendly smile.

The dim evening mist gradually descended, and it was just after the afternoon when we arrived at Dayi Town.
Gu Changsheng got off the carriage with eleven taels of silver, and the carriage continued on its journey.
It was completely dark when we arrived at Shanglin Village.
There was an oil lamp lit in the Lin family's house, and Lin Xiaoman couldn't wait to jump off the carriage.
"Father, mother!"
The door opened suddenly.
Li Taohua ran out, followed by Lin Dajiang and Guyu.
Li Taohua's eyes sparkled as she smiled and said, "You guys are finally back."
The curtains of the carriage were open, and there was no bamboo basket inside except for luggage.
Li Taohua's heart suddenly settled down.
"Mom, my brother and I bought a lot of things in the county town." Lin Xiaoman had been away for two days and felt the bond of family affection for the first time.
"Silly child, you only know how to waste money. What are you buying? Mom doesn't need it."
Lin Dajiang pulled Lin Jingzhe over and asked, "Did you have a smooth journey, little brat?"
"It went smoothly. Uncle Gu has arranged everything for us."
"You must thank Uncle Gu very much in the future, okay?" Lin Dajiang reminded again and again that debts of favor should be repaid in time, otherwise if you owe too much, you won't be able to hold your head up high.
"Don't worry, we made some money. Xiaoman decided to let Changsheng bring four taels of silver to Uncle Gu."
The Lin family was full of joy, and Xie Ci'an felt envious.
But he stood quietly in the shadow of the carriage, watching without moving.
When Li Taohua saw the boy's cold eyes, she remembered that she was too excited and ignored her son's teacher.
So he smiled and invited Xie Ci'an to stay for dinner.
Xie Ci'an rejected Li Taohua's kindness and left with his luggage.
"This child is really pitiful. He used to have a life of luxury..." Li Taohua sighed and pulled Xiaoman into the yard.
"Are you hungry? Your father stewed the pork ribs this afternoon and also made the pickled fish you like, but it doesn't taste as good as what you made."
"Your little brother has been squatting at the gate these past two days, sometimes watching ants and sometimes playing in the mud. I don't know if he misses you."
Li Taohua muttered to herself.
Lin Dajiang scooped porridge for the family.
Lin Xiaoman took the mutton he bought from the county town and cut it into slices.
Lin Dajiang: "I'm in for a treat tonight~"
Guyu pestered Xiaoman and wanted to sit next to her sister.
Lidong held Xiaoman's legs and refused to let go.
Lin Jingzhe tapped Lidong on the head lightly, "You little heartless boy, why don't you think about me? You ate a lot of the bird eggs I roasted!"
After meal.
Lin Xiaoman hid the silver apricot blossom hairpin in her sleeve, walked behind A Niang as if nothing had happened, and quietly inserted the hairpin into her hair bun when she was not paying attention.
"Xiaoman, you..." Li Taohua reached out and touched a hairpin.
"Mom, my brother and I bought you a silver hairpin. It looks really good on you."
"Oh, I'm already old." Li Taohua stroked the silver hairpin, feeling warm in her heart.
"Taohua, Xiaoman has really good taste. You look good in it."
Guyu clapped her hands to join in the fun, "Aniang is the most beautiful fairy."
"Oh~ So all of you Lins have peach blossom honey on your lips today? Why do you all speak so nicely?"
"Not only does A Niang have it, but Gu Yu and Li Dong also have it."
Guyu's hair was still a bunch of tufts last year, but this year it has become much thicker and longer.
You can also use a red rope to tie up your braids.
Lidong likes things that make sounds the most, and he starts playing the snare drum happily when he gets it.
Boom boom boom, clang clang clang.
There is no rules, but it exudes warmth.
"Mom always worries about Dad's daily food, clothing and daily expenses. My brother and I really don't know what to give Dad, so we prepared a red envelope." Lin Xiaoman handed the red envelope wrapped in red paper to Lin Dajiang, "When Dad receives the red envelope, wealth will come to him from all directions in the future."
Lin Dajiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that in the eyes of his children, he was a money-grubber.
But the implication is really good, he really likes silver.

"Boss, do you think it would be possible to sell so many bamboo baskets for Qingming rice cakes during Jingzhe and Xiaoman?"
Lin Dahai turned over and asked, "Why do you care so much?"
"I am just worried about my elder brother and his wife. If the bamboo baskets are not sold and then returned, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?"
Wang Chunxiu was about to say something when she heard snoring beside her.
She felt bad, "I'm going to die, how come I fell asleep so quickly?"
