Chapter 145 Housewarming Banquet
Noon.
There were thirty tables set up in front of the Lin residence, and all of them were occupied. The villagers looked at the rich dishes on the table and thought they were better than the last time they had eaten at the farm.
It is really great that their relatives can work on the farm, and now they are proud to work on the farm.
Even people from other villages come to compete for the work positions. They are now afraid that their relatives will be lazy and slack off at work, and thus lose their jobs. In addition, the farm has an attendance system, and there are extra rewards for full attendance. All kinds of rewards and subsidies are better than working in the city.
There were three large tables in the yard, one for women and the remaining two for men and children.
Fu's mother and father had just arrived. Although the yard was much smaller than their house, they were generally satisfied. After all, all they had seen when they passed through the village were mud brick houses, and they couldn't imagine what would happen if Fu Qi moved in.
So with the previous preparation, I was very satisfied with this second courtyard when I looked at it later.
"Aunt and uncle, thank you for coming. Please come in and have a seat."
Lin Jiaojiao welcomed the two of them into the house. The people sitting outside stared at them curiously. They were dressed like rich people and had servants serving them. They were all curious about their identities.
After she brought the men in, she introduced them to Lin's father and the others. Both Fu's mother and Fu's father looked at her two husbands and found that each had his own merits. In addition, one of them was very handsome except for the scar on his brow bone. Fu's father carefully noticed that he had been protecting his abdomen with his hands, and it seemed that he was pregnant.
Everyone took their seats. Lin Jiaojiao said a few simple and clear words and asked them to start eating.
She then hurried to the front door, and the crowd outside instantly became quiet, waiting for her to speak.
"First of all, I, Lin Jiaojiao, would like to thank everyone for coming to my housewarming party. Secondly, I am very grateful to every employee working at Lin's Farm. Your hard work has made our farm better and better! I am also very grateful to your families. It is your support and understanding of their work that allows them to work with peace of mind. Without further ado, my thoughts are all in the food. Let's eat!"
"Thank you, Boss! Thank you, Boss..."
"Thank you for giving my daughter the opportunity to work..."
"Yes, thank you so much, boss..."
"Without the boss, I'm afraid our family will have a hard time getting through this winter..."
"Now other villages envy our Linjia Village..."
She nodded with a smile, then returned to the yard and sat next to Fu's mother to eat. Fu's mother didn't dare to persuade her to drink. After all, she still remembered what happened last time. She also didn't want to be too close to her, so as not to arouse other people's suspicion.
Although Lin Jiaojiao wanted to ask how Fu Qi was doing these days, she could only ask in private, as the two of them didn't seem to be very familiar with each other.
On the other side, Father Fu was chatting smoothly with Father Lin and discussing the wedding ceremony. Song Jiajia was sitting next to Lin Yizhi. He looked at him worriedly, and when he found that there was nothing unusual about him, he felt a little strange. If it was him, he might go crazy when he thought about Qiu Xilan marrying another husband.
Liu Ying kept thinking about the last hand and thought it would have been better if she hadn't played three cards. Then she asked Lin Jiaojiao some mahjong-related questions, and then everyone at the table knew about this entertainment activity.
Mother Fu couldn't help but lean over to Lin Jiaojiao's ear and whispered, "Is that the one from last time?"
Lin Jiaojiao was stunned while holding a piece of fried fish fillet, and then she realized: "Yes, that's it."
"Okay, I'll play too later."
"Huh? Oh, okay."
Fu's mother knew about this thing. She had helped them carve it when she was bored on the way back. It was just a small piece of wood with a pattern painted on it. She also heard her say that it was because Fu Ling was missing, otherwise the four of them could have played with it all the way.
From what Liu Ying said, it seems quite fun.
She saw it after dinner. Isn't this thing too fun? But she always failed to win, and the more she failed, the more she wanted to play.
Lin Jiaojiao stood behind her and shook her head. The newer she gets, the more she loves to play.
Lin Dadan and the others learned the cards and the rules, but they left before it was their turn because they had to work in the afternoon and could only come to play in the evening.
They usually only had lunch at noon, so Lin Jiaojiao asked them to pack up the unfinished food on the table outside. There was still a lot left in the yard, so she had to call Lin Dadan, Zhang Tong and others to come for dinner in the evening.
Lin Jiaojiao was eating melon seeds while watching Fu's mother playing cards. Then Liu Xiuxiu grabbed her hand and she remembered that she had promised the little guy to go horseback riding.
"Are you going to the stables?"
Although Fu's mother and Liu Ying didn't want to leave the table, they were also very curious about what Lin Jiaojiao's farm looked like.
In the end, except for Lin's father and Lin Yiyan, everyone else followed Lin Jiaojiao to the farm.
Before, they were watching from afar outside, but when they got closer, they found that there was a lot of things inside, because the workshop warehouse, male and female dormitories and the cafeteria were the closest to the gate.
Lin Jiaojiao just introduced it when she passed by and did not take them in for a tour. However, she went to the women's dormitory and called out Lin Fen, Lin Shanshan and two other grooms.
Behind them were the cowshed and horse farm. Many cows were basking in the sun outside. Then she pointed to the house in front and said that there was a sheep shed on one side and a chicken coop on the other. Looking at the small house in front, they knew how big this farm was.
When the employee in the stable guard room saw his boss coming, he hurried out to greet him.
"My boss."
She nodded and waved her hand to let her do her thing, and she led everyone into the stable. They looked at the neat and clean horse stalls inside, which were completely different from the stables they usually saw. They unconsciously had a little more admiration for her.
"Which horse do you want to ride, little ones? Choose one and let these four big sisters teach you."
Liu Xiuxiu cheered and ran to choose a horse, and her sister also put down the book in her hand and followed her to choose a horse.
The remaining three boys also wanted to go. Although their parents didn't tell them not to play, in their subconscious minds they knew that this was not something men could play.
Lin Jiaojiao also saw it, "Fei Fei, Xiao Yu, and Brother Xiu Xiu, don't you want to play?"
They thought for a while and shook their heads. At this time, Lin Dadan finished his work and learned that they were here and rushed over and heard it.
"Fei Fei, do you want to play? If you do, mom will take you for a run."
When Lin Fei saw her mother coming, he changed his mind and nodded quickly. When Zhang Lianyu saw that Lin Fei was going to play, he wanted to go too.
Because Brother Xiuxiu was older than them and much more shy than Swen, the etiquette he had learned did not allow him to be taken by other women, so he did not go and just watched them quietly.
Lin Jiaojiao and others retreated outside the stable and watched the horses running in the snow through the fence.
Liu Ying enviously said: "Seeing it makes me want to ride it, but unfortunately I can't."
Lin Jiaojiao comforted her: "It's okay, I won't do that either."
However, she has already planned to study for an hour every day in the future, and she must get a driver's license no matter what.
