In his previous life, Lin Yifeng was tricked by his first love into going abroad, missing the period of rapid development in his homeland.
He finally managed to amass a fortune of hundreds of...
Fourth Master is truly a great man!
The old man sat in the courtyard, legs crossed, humming a little tune.
Lin Yifeng thought that if he gave Uncle Si a plate of peanuts and a glass of wine at this moment, Uncle Si would be as happy as an immortal.
Instead, it was the two guests, Bai Yejin and Zhou Xuelan, who started to help.
"Uncle, let me handle the chicken!"
Bai Yejin rolled up her sleeves, walked over to Lin Jinshui, pointed at the old hen that had just died, and said with a smile.
"No need, daughter, you sit there and rest. Let Lin Yifeng handle it!"
Lin Jinshui quickly waved his hand in refusal, saying that there was no reason for his daughter-in-law to do chores on her very first day at the house.
"It's alright, Uncle. I handle chickens at home all the time, I'm very skilled at it!"
Without saying a word, Bai Yejin snatched the hen from Lin Jinshui's hands. Holding the hen in one hand, she found a large plastic basin in the yard, threw the hen into the basin, and went to the hand pump well.
Bai Yejin placed the large plastic basin at the water outlet of the hand pump, filled a vat in the kitchen with some cool water, poured it into the hand pump, and began to pump the water forcefully.
Seeing this, Lin Jinshui's eyes were filled with satisfaction. Judging from the details of pressing water, his daughter-in-law was definitely a good daughter-in-law.
She's hardworking, good at farm work, and has the figure to bear a son.
I don't know what good fortune Lin Yifeng has accumulated to find such a wonderful daughter-in-law!
Clean water flowed from the hand pump and poured onto the blood-soaked old hen. Seeing Bai Yejin working so diligently, Zhou Xuelan, a woman known for her energetic nature, couldn't stop either.
"Teacher Lin, could you tell me the location of your belongings in your house?"
Where is the firewood?
Where are the pots, pans, and utensils?
Where are the seasonings?
As soon as Tiger Girl Zhou Xuelan entered the room, she went straight to the kitchen and bombarded Lin Yifeng with questions. After Lin Yifeng pointed them out to Tiger Girl one by one, Tiger Girl pushed Lin Yifeng out of the kitchen.
"Teacher Lin, where is the light cord in your house?"
"There's no electricity at night, only candles!"
In the 1990s, power outages were a common occurrence, especially in the mountains, where power would often go out around 10 p.m.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuelan had no choice but to go to the main room to get candles and busy herself in the kitchen.
Lin Yifeng was kicked out of the kitchen by Zhou Xuelan. He looked at Bai Yejin, who was squeezing water and plucking chicken feathers, and then at the Fourth Uncle sitting on the stool. After thinking for a moment, he moved a reclining chair out of the house.
Lin Yifeng placed a deck chair in the yard, sat on it, and instantly transformed into a lord.
What do you mean by "fourth uncle" or "not a grand uncle"?
I, Lin Yifeng, am the master!
Summers in the mountains are very cool, especially at night.
Lin Yifeng lay on the recliner, watching Bai Yejin and Zhou Xuelan busy at work, and felt that he should bring one more person back.
That person was responsible for fanning himself.
"It would be nice if someone could fan me and massage my shoulders."
Lin Yifeng was thinking that he had only been lying on the recliner for a few seconds when someone grabbed his ear.
"You bastard!"
"stand up!"
"Two young women are busy working, and you're resting on the deck chair?"
It's the Fourth Master!
The Fourth Uncle, who had been sitting on a stool, was annoyed by Lin Yifeng's comfortable reclining in the chair. He grabbed Lin Yifeng's ear and pulled him up.
"Hey hey hey hey!"
"Fourth Master, let go! Let go!"
Lin Yifeng shouted at the Fourth Uncle to let go: "What am I busy with? It's none of my business!"
"We have people to start fires and boil water, and we also have people to process old hens."
"What else do I need to do?"
There's really nothing for Lin Yifeng to do right now.
Mother Feng Cuie went to buy wine, the second son went to pick vegetables in the field, the third son went to borrow pork, and the father was not in the yard, probably also going to buy food or drinks.
Zhou Xuelan was starting a fire to boil water, while Bai Yejin was preparing an old hen.
With everyone else busy, Lin Yifeng couldn't afford to rest!
"You talk too much!"
"Get up and go help deal with the old hen!"
The Fourth Uncle grabbed Lin Yifeng's clothes and shooed him off the recliner. Lin Yifeng looked at the Fourth Uncle lying on the recliner, sighing.
"well!"
"I hadn't even had a second to feel comfortable before the old man kicked me out!"
"You really are your grandpa!"
Lin Yifeng approached Bai Yejin, who couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this. While plucking chicken feathers, she teased, "Lin Yifeng, Fourth Master is such a good person, it's just a pity he's too gentle, he didn't pinch you hard enough!"
"Bai Yejin, I feel like your skin has started to itch ever since you came to my house!"
Lin Yifeng glared at Bai Yejin. Bai Yejin has become naughty. She would never have teased him like this before.
Bai Yejin giggled: "Lin Yifeng, do you dare to hit me now?"
Lin Yifeng glanced at Bai Yejin and lowered his voice: "Bai Yejin, this is my home. If you misbehave again, I'll have my parents put us in the same room."
"Hehehe, tell me then, will I dare to hit you?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yejin's expression changed drastically: "No, it can't be that fast...."
It won't be that fast?
? ? ?
What are you thinking, you little brat!
.........
Feng Cuie returned carrying two bottles of wine and a sausage.
The wine is a local specialty, Baiquanchun.
The sausages are the canned kind, each only half a meter long.
When she returned, she saw Lin Yifeng and Bai Yejin processing an old hen. She immediately went over and said to Bai Yejin, "Oh, girl, go wash your hands and rest. Let me do it!"
