Chapter 393 Visiting Ling Ran's House

Seeing that Shui Qing was fine, the topic turned back to Ling Ran.

In the past, every household in the village would care about each other, but not particularly care about it. However, since the floods, delivering potatoes and selling rabbits, and dealing with bandits with the same hatred and hatred, the feelings between people have deepened despite the many hardships. .

Especially since Ling Ran went out for the village this time, even more people cared about him.

The village leader's idea is very simple. If his father's clan is reliable, who would be willing to leave their hometown to find their grandfather? Nor will he be taken in by Shui Qing and Fan Jin.

And this was Ling Ran's good luck. After the flood, there were batch after batch of victims. Don't even think about taking them in, even giving them food!

Ling Ce pursed his lips tightly, but the villagers all cared about Ran'er and didn't say anything bad. Instead, they speculated based on Ran'er's situation that they really couldn't be blamed.

He really couldn't listen anymore, so he raised his hand towards Shuiqing and asked, "Excuse me, is it Hu Shuiqing?"

He asked about it on the way here, and found out that the situation in the Fan family was somewhat special, with the male leading the household and the female leading the household.

It cannot be said that the situation of the Fan family is special. To be precise, the situation of Shanshui Village is special, because the woman in front of him is the one who is in charge of the entire village.

"Yes." Shui Qingluoluo responded generously.

Ling Ce's face softened a little. He didn't smile very often on weekdays. Now he put on a stiff smile and asked, "Can you lend me a moment to speak?"

Shui Qing didn't beat around the bush and asked directly: "Are you Ling Ran's father? Then why don't you go and see the house where he lives?"

After hearing Shui Qing's words, the onlookers' mouths were so open that they could almost stuff an egg.

Especially the old women who just discussed Ling Ran's father's situation were not ashamed, but filled with regret.

"Dad Ling Ran, are you here to pick him up?"

"What a coincidence, I missed it."

"It's okay. Didn't Shui Qing say that Ling Ran's child went to his grandfather's house? Just go and pick him up quickly."

"Yes, yes, that child Ling Ran is sensible and responsible. He is an excellent child. Father Ling Ran, you should treat him well."

.....

Ling Ce has been in a high position for many years, and no one has spoken to him like this for a long time. But at this moment, they don't know that he is the governor, and they don't treat him as an official, but just as a father and a father to their children.

He lowered his eyebrows and hummed in a low voice.

After receiving the assurance, the women surrounding them smiled happily: "Okay, Ling Ran's child finally has a family."

Shuiqing said at the right time: "Let's go."

Ling Ce handed the horse's reins to his entourage and followed Shui Qing's pace.

He started observing from the moment he entered the village gate.

Unlike other villages that are dirty and messy, the dirt roads in Shanshui Village are neat and smooth, and the houses and yards are neat. There is no occupation of the road to occupy a small piece of land. The weeds and rocks at the corners of the houses and the roots of the walls have been cleaned up. It looks like Very refreshing.

The gates and walls are different from other villages, more like those in Zhuangzi with strong financial resources. When you come in, you will see most adobe houses and only a few brick houses. This shows that Shanshui Village is not particularly wealthy and can build protective walls. It’s the villagers who unite as one.

He followed Hu Shuiqing up the slope, becoming more and more sad as he climbed.

There are only three brick houses in the village. The largest one has only three main houses. The rest are all adobe houses, and there is even a thatched house. Those adobe houses are made of tiles, which is considered very good.

How good can Hu Shuiqing's family be?

I heard from a man in the village that she originally had five children. After her eldest uncle wanted to sell his daughter after the flood, she bought it and raised it herself. She also raised a son from a family named Bai, plus Ran'er...

The man said that Hu Shuiqing's family was the richest in the whole village, but how rich could the village be? I'm afraid that Ran'er will have to be crowded together with several people, and she won't even have a bed of her own to sleep at night, and she won't even be able to straighten her legs.

As soon as they went uphill, they saw four adobe and tile-roofed houses. Ling Ce was about to turn in when he saw the woman in front of him walking straight forward.

He lifted his heels and kept looking back at the adobe and tile-roofed house. Isn't it here?

When he reached a small courtyard with gray tiles and white walls, he paused slightly, but saw that Hu Shuiqing was still walking straight forward.

When he stood in front of the Chuihua Gate, he was still in a daze.

Entering the yard, he saw the magnificent main house, left and right wing rooms, east and west wing rooms, warehouses, and five huge reverse rooms. There were more than ten or twenty rooms in total, and he turned around stiffly. He looked towards the yard.

There are no artificially dug ponds with rockery bonsai trees in the yard. There are only a few practical wind and rain corridors. It is so empty that it can be seen at a glance, so it looks even larger.

There is a spring in the corner, forming a small pool. It is small and does not occupy any space and is convenient for water use. Although this house does not have a particular view, it is comfortable and practical everywhere.

"Governor Ling, Ling Ran lives in the first room upon entering. Please come in." Shui Qing took out the key, opened the door and said.

"I haven't cleaned it since it's not occupied for the time being. I'll wait until someone moves in one day and then clean it. But it's only been a few days and there's no dust."

Ling Ce raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "You won't let Ran'er stay? Will you let others stay when others come later?"

How can the house where Ran'er lives be used by others again! Ran'er's courtyard in his house has always been empty and no one can touch it. The servants are arranged to clean it carefully every day, just so that Ran'er can live in it as soon as he gets home!

Shui Qing was even more surprised: "Why do you want to keep it? Who needs someone to live in? When he comes back, if he stays for a long time, I will clean up a house for him, and some people can live in it."

It's not easy to have a house to live in the village, why should we specially leave a room empty? Besides, her house is full of people, so it can be left empty. If a guest comes one day, we can't leave the house empty without letting the guest sleep.

That's not the way to treat guests, it's too hypocritical.

She asked back: "Ling Ran is here with me, I treat him well, and if he wants to go far away, I will provide him with food, vehicles, and money. Which of these is not more practical than leaving the house empty?"

Ling Ce opened his mouth, but had nothing to refute.

The previous displeasure disappeared without a trace, and he even felt a little ashamed.

He did leave an empty yard for Ran'er and didn't allow anyone to live there, but it was just an empty yard.

When Ran'er was at home, they only quarreled, scolded, and didn't understand each other, and then they were beaten with a cane.

He didn't treat his mother well, and he didn't treat him well. His uncle was sent away when he came. When he was going out, he even stopped all the food and gold and silver, and told no one to help him.

What his biological father did for him was not as good as what an outsider did.

"I came here to ask for something."
