Chapter 325 Sending Gold and Rice to Baocheng County
Halfway through the meal, Shen Wanning suddenly said, "We have to save the remaining golden rice for seeds. Now we have all tasted the flavor of golden rice, but Third Brother is in Baocheng County and hasn't tried it yet! How about I ride my horse and send some to Third Brother tomorrow!"
"That's good. You haven't seen each other for a long time. The third brother hasn't been back for almost two months. I don't know how he is doing over there." Speaking of this, Aunt Zhang frowned slightly, full of longing for Lin Jingyou.
"If Mom and Dad miss our third brother, why don't we take a carriage and go see him together?" Shen Wanning suggested.
"Let's wait for a while! The sweet potatoes will be ripe soon, and a lot of cotton in the fields has sprouted, so we need to stay at home and watch over them. We won't go this time, Wan Ning, you have to take care of yourself." Aunt Zhang thought about it and still didn't agree.
Shen Wanning nodded. "Okay then. I'll go see Third Brother. If he's not busy, I'll come back with him to see Mom and Dad when he's on his day off."
It's better for Lin Jingyou to run back and forth alone than for the two old people to run back and forth together. I just don't know if Lin Jingyou is busy recently.
The two of them haven't seen each other for nearly a month. It was really because Shen Wanning was too busy recently and always had various things to do.
"Okay, just be careful." Aunt Zhang reminded again.
Ever since Lin Jingyou became the magistrate of Baocheng County, Shen Wanning had learned to ride a horse. She often traveled back and forth between the two counties, and the family had become accustomed to it.
The next morning, when Shen Wanning got up, Aunt Zhang had already prepared dinner.
After dinner, Shen Wanning put two raw corns in her bag and got on her horse to set off.
Aunt Zhang chased after her with two steamed corns in her hand and stuffed the corns wrapped in oil paper into her hands. "I guess we won't have corn to eat at home after you leave. Take these two and eat them on the way."
Shen Wanning waved her hand and refused, "No, Mom, I don't like it. Save it for the boys."
She was not lying. She could ask netizens to send her as much corn as she wanted to eat, so she didn't have to eat the ones at home.
"Take it. There's enough for us at home. These two corns are specially steamed for you." Aunt Zhang refused and put the corns directly into her arms.
Shen Wanning had no choice but to put the corn into her bag. "Okay, I'll keep it then. Thank you, Mom."
"Don't be polite! Go ahead, ride slowly and be careful on the road." Aunt Zhang watched Shen Wanning walk away until she could no longer see her.
We rode at full speed all the way and finally arrived at Baocheng County before the city gate closed.
The soldiers guarding the city gate were already familiar with Shen Wanning and let her in directly.
Arriving at the gate of the county government office, the bailiff greeted Shen Wanning and then led her to the back hall. "My Lord, the Lord is hearing a case in front of the county government office. Please wait inside for a moment."
Shen Wanning frowned slightly, "Are you adults so busy? Why are you still trying a case at this hour?"
The bailiff sighed. "Yes, ever since Lord Lin took office, he has been working tirelessly. Whenever he solves a case, Lord Lin will take out the cases from previous years and take a closer look. Recently, Lord Lin has solved many old cases, and there are many criminals in prison now."
"No wonder he hasn't been home for so long. I'll go in and wait for him for a while. I'll talk to him after your Lordships finish the case. I'll wait for him to come back for dinner."
"Well, please take a seat, my lord. I'll go downstairs and get a pot of tea."
After he finished speaking, the bailiff went down, brought a pot of tea, and told his servants to buy a few plates of snacks.
It was still unknown when Lin Jingyou's trial would be over. If it was late, Shen Wanning would probably be hungry, so she could have a snack first.
Shen Wanning sat in a chair, bored, and could only chat with netizens. The last few plates of snacks went into the stomachs of the netizens.
It wasn't until more than half an hour later that Lin Jingyou returned. He pinched his brows and saw Shen Wanning sitting on the stool, quietly waiting for him. He felt as if all the fatigue of the day had been swept away.
Hearing footsteps at the door, Shen Wanning turned to look at the door, exclaimed in surprise, and stood up, "Third brother, have you finished the case?"
"Well, the interrogation is over." Lin Jingyou walked in and hugged Shen Wanning and refused to let go.
If he wasn't afraid that someone would come in and disturb them, he would have wanted to kiss her directly. It had been a long time since they last met, and he missed the smell of Shen Wanning so much.
He greedily inhaled the scent of her body, as if only when he smelled such a scent could he relax for a moment.
"You must be hungry. I'll ask them to serve some food." After holding her for a while, Lin Jingyou let go of her and asked gently.
Only then did Shen Wanning notice the bloodshot in his eyes. She couldn't help but feel a pang of discomfort. She reached out and gently caressed his eyes, "Third brother, haven't you had enough rest lately? Sit down and rest for a while. I'll go talk to the servants."
"As soon as I see you, all my fatigue disappears. It's okay, I'll go, you sit and wait for a while. The food should be ready, just wait for them to serve it up in a while." Lin Jingyou had already walked to the door when he said this.
After a while, the food was served. Shen Wanning remembered that she had not eaten the two corns that Aunt Zhang had steamed for her in the morning and had kept them in the refrigerator in the space.
She took out two steamed corns from the delivery station, handed one to Lin Jingyou, and kept the other for herself. "Third brother, this is the golden rice my mother steamed for me before I left. We can each have one."
"Golden rice? This is the crop you mentioned growing on the farm, right?" Shen Wanning had mentioned it to him before.
"Yes, the golden rice is just ripe. I picked some yesterday and sent them back home. Today I thought of giving a few to my third brother to try. But when we left this morning, my mother was afraid that I wouldn't be able to eat them, so she forced two on me." As she spoke, Shen Wanning took a bite of the corn.
Lin Jingyou imitated her, took a bite of the golden rice, and said with a smile, "Although you have everything in your space, I don't think I've ever eaten this golden rice before. Today is my first time trying it!"
Shen Wanning held her head high, looking proud. "There are so many delicious foods in our world. Not only can we enjoy delicacies from our own country, but we can also enjoy delicacies from other countries!"
Then, Shen Wanning became a little discouraged again, "But I'm not with Third Brother now, so I can't let him taste our food all the time. Otherwise, I really want him to try it all!"
"It's okay, there's still a lot of time to come." Lin Jingyou put one hand on Shen Wanning's hand and comforted her.
At this moment, Shen Wanning was a little stunned. He looked at the grid on the wall of his express station, and saw various ready-to-eat foods constantly appearing, such as cooked steak, pasta, fried chicken, hamburgers, pineapple fried rice, seafood porridge and so on.
