On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the siblings were going there to continue their tutoring lessons, and they arrived there on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.

I prepared a lot of New Year's goods and sent a message to ask my grandparents if they would come to visit me at home.

First, I visited Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen who lived in a community and presented them with mountain goods they brought from home.

Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen gave each of them a red envelope, which contained two hundred yuan.

There were too many, and the siblings didn't want them. Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen forced them into their hands and refused to let them return them. The siblings accepted it, but they always felt uncomfortable in their hearts, as if they came just to ask for red envelopes.

Same.

Fortunately, Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen didn't think much about it. They were very happy to see them coming to the house. They cooked a few dishes together, Lin Erhu helped choose the vegetables, and Lin Xiaoman helped Grandma Chen.

We had a meal at Grandpa Chen’s and Grandma Chen’s house, and then went to Grandma Liu’s house to pay New Year greetings, but we didn’t stay for dinner.

Originally, I wanted to visit Aunt Qi, but Aunt Qi called and said that she was not in the villa these days, and asked them not to go to the villa these days to avoid being entangled by Uncle Qi's family.

The siblings sighed: Sure enough, every family has its own problems. Even though Aunt Qi is so rich, she still has a lot of troubles.

It was Xiao Meng who sent them a message, telling them that the old lady had been making noises about being discharged from the hospital in the past few days, but Aunt Qi and sister Qi would not let her go.

No one from Uncle Qi's family came to the hospital to see him, and the old lady couldn't find anyone to sign for the discharge.

After finishing speaking, I asked them if they had anything going on recently and if they wanted to watch the lanterns with her during the Lantern Festival.

The two siblings immediately agreed. Look at the lanterns. The lanterns here are definitely more beautiful than those in their county.

On the early morning of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, all units began to rework one after another. After the siblings packed up, they went straight to the city library.

Since they did not have ID cards or student ID cards, they took copies of the household registration book given to them by Aunt Qi. After registering their identity information outside the history museum hall, the siblings went inside.

Facing rows of bookshelves, the siblings didn't know where to start. They asked the librarian and said they wanted to check historical documents about Qingping City. The librarian took them to the corner row.

, seeing that they were not very tall, he moved a ladder, climbed up and picked out a pile of books for them.

"These are historical documents about Qingping City. It is difficult to buy them now. You can read them in the library, but you cannot take them away."

After thanking each other, the siblings sat in the reading corner and started reading.

I don’t know whether it was because the Chinese New Year had just ended or because there were not many people coming to the history hall. They looked at it for a long time and not many people came in.

The siblings watched carefully and took out their mobile phones to take pictures when they saw interesting places.

After looking through it all morning, the siblings finally found a book with relatively complete records. Although it was reprinted by later generations, the paper was quite old, and the words on it were not the simplified Chinese characters used in modern times. Fortunately, the siblings

Both of them are literate, so it doesn't seem like they have any trouble.

"Sister, look here, it says that Lu Jin is from the capital, his background is unknown, and he was sent to Qingping County to be the county magistrate because he offended the powerful. He served as the county magistrate for decades, and finally he forced the small Qingping County to

It has developed into a large county comparable to the capital. You said that he is a small county magistrate, and he was decentralized because he offended the powerful. No wonder he has not moved after being a county magistrate for decades. But that powerful man is not too big.

It’s so bad that he will be remembered throughout the ages.”

Lin Xiaoman looked at where Lin Erhu was pointing, and heard Lin Erhu say: "Sister, I will also be very capable in the future, don't call me one after another in the future."

Lin Xiaoman glanced at him and said with a smile in his eyes: "Oh, I got it, Erhu!"

Erhu was furious, but he couldn't do anything to his sister. He picked up another "Lin Gong Pian" and read it. He had the intuition that the Lin Gong was talking about him, Lin Weizhen.

The siblings read from morning to noon. They temporarily left the unfinished books with the administrator, went out to have a meal, and came back in the afternoon to continue reading. At about two o'clock, they finally summarized the development of Qingping City over the past thousand years.

I’ve finished reading the trajectory.

But after reading all the books, most of them mentioned Lu Jin and Lin Weizhen, the Lin family, or Mrs. Lu. There were only a few sentences, but they were all at critical moments. Obviously, Mrs. Lu is the Lin family, and it is very likely that she is Lin.

Xiaoman himself.

This made Lin Xiaoman very embarrassed. She was already seventeen. If she hadn't been in Xiaozhong, she would have been the age to get married. Now that she was suddenly told that that man was her future husband, how could she face it in the future?

To Lu Jin?

But being able to leave a mark in the history books shows that she also made outstanding contributions thousands of years ago.

For example, the book talks about Master Lu leading the people in Qingping County to plant high-yielding crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, and to plant cotton so that people can wear cheap winter clothes in winter and not be afraid of the cold. Improve rice varieties and increase yields... all

Let me mention that Mrs. Lu has made great contributions.

When talking about Lin Weizhen, they highly praise him for having a sensible and far-sighted eldest sister.

For Lin Xiaoman, who grew up in the ancient times where men were superior to women, this was very gratifying to her.

I took pictures of all the important contents with my mobile phone and plan to sort them out when I go back.

After coming out of the library, the siblings took a taxi directly to the warehouse.

When I returned home through the warehouse, I heard Lin Erlai's shout in the distance.

The two siblings hurried over and saw Lin Erlai waving to them, "Xiao Man, how long can your family have enough food?"

Lin Xiaoman also shouted: "It will be fine in a month or two."

Lin Erlai was relieved, "Just stay at home these days and we are shoveling the road to the county town. When the road to the county town is open, the village will help you and your brother remove this piece of snow."

"Well, our family is fine. Uncle Second Lai, do you and Grandma Fourth still have some food left at home?"

Lin Erlai said: "Don't worry about us. The village is connected, so we won't be hungry no matter what."

Lin Xiaoman was not reassured. Although the village road was open, not every household would be willing to use their own grain reserves to help the people in the west of the village. At most, they would starve to death.

In fact, if Lu Jin, the county magistrate, was not here, the people in the east of the village might not come up with food.

"Uncle Second Lai, please take Fourth Grandma to stay at Uncle Daqiang's house for a few days."

Lin Erlai promised, but seeing what he meant, he didn't want to do it.

Just fine, why did he come specifically to tell me that he was shoveling the road to the county seat? Is it just to reassure them both?

Lin Xiaoman had an intuition that Lin Erlai had something to say and didn't tell them, but it was impossible for Lin Erlai not to say it if he could. He didn't say it, so he probably couldn't shout it out like this.

How about shoveling this road open and asking her to go over and ask what happened?

In the evening, they went back to class there. The tutor the siblings hired was named Yu. He was an on-the-job primary school teacher. Although he was less than thirty years old, he had previously worked in an educational institution and had good teaching experience.
