The moment the chopsticks were put into her mouth, she saw her sticking out her tongue in obvious pain.

Even Xiaobai couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing its appearance, "Good heavens, it looks even more like a dog than I do!"

The spicy flavor instantly filled my mouth, giving me a stimulating sensation that went straight to the top of my head.

Lin Xiaomei couldn't understand why her father could drink this stuff with such a blissful expression, while her second sister could drink it without batting an eye.

Lin Jiujiu smiled and placed a piece of food on her plate.

"Eat some vegetables first to calm your nerves."

Lin Xiaomei nodded vigorously, completely ignoring the single piece of green vegetable in her bowl.

She picked up a large piece of braised pork and stuffed it into her mouth. The sweetness of the meat overpowered the spiciness of the wine, and she finally felt better.

She spoke to Lin Jiujiu in a slightly coquettish tone.

"Second sister, this doesn't taste good."

Lin Jiujiu patted her head with a smile and said, "This wine is not suitable for you. I'll plant some fruit trees on the back mountain and make you fruit wine later."

Lin Xiaomei's eyes lit up immediately when she heard about fruit.

She had eaten it once before; it was a fruit that Lin Jiujiu took out from her spatial storage, and she still remembered the taste.

She couldn't help but lick her lips and asked, "Second Sister, is it the same sweet fruit we ate last time?"

Lin Jiujiu was taken aback. The last time she took out something from her space, it was an apple, wasn't it?

The climate here is not suitable for growing this; on the contrary, peaches, plums, and apricots are easier to grow.

However, this did not stump her, and she smiled and said to Lin Xiaomei.

"It's not that you can't eat it if you want, but we haven't seen anyone growing that kind of fruit here. Maybe the saplings are not easy to grow."

I'll take out the seeds I saved last time and try to grow seedlings. If they survive, they might actually bear fruit in a couple of years.

When Lin Xiaomei first heard that she couldn't buy saplings here, she was a little disappointed, thinking that such delicious fruit was hard to grow here.

But when he heard that Lin Jiujiu had seeds in her hand, his eyes lit up and he looked at her with a gleaming gaze.

Lin Jiujiu suddenly realized that her adopted younger sister was actually a little foodie, which wasn't so bad.

Seeing the way her eyes lit up when she heard about delicious food, Lin Jiujiu also experienced the joy of being a pet owner.

And right there, her left sleeve was gently tugged.

Lin Jiujiu looked down and saw the little boy looking at her with longing and asked.

"Mom, I like those yellow, curved fruits that you can peel. Can we grow them?"

Lin Jiujiu immediately understood what he meant and smiled, "There's nothing wrong with that. How about Mommy plants it in your own yard for you later?"

Upon hearing this, the little boy immediately put down his chopsticks and clapped.

"Mommy is so great, I love Mommy so much."

Lin Jiujiu gently ruffled his hair and casually placed a chicken leg into his bowl.

"Eat quickly, Mother loves you too."

After receiving Lin Jiujiu's response, the little boy lowered his head and started munching on the chicken leg in his bowl. His appearance made Madam Hu wonder if her cooking skills had improved again.

Lin Xiaomei wasn't as happy as before. Seeing how kind her second sister was to Xiaodouding and even said she liked him, Lin Xiaomei pouted, feeling a little bitter.

Even my favorite braised pork has turned sour.

Lin Jiujiu smiled and put another chicken leg into her bowl, saying, "Eat up."

Lin Xiaomei immediately beamed with joy, just like Xiaodouding, and started gnawing on a chicken leg.

Seeing that the two of them were eating with great gusto, Mrs. Hu couldn't resist picking up a piece of chicken to try, and found that it seemed no different from usual.

However, Lin's mother noticed something amiss: the two youngest children in the family seemed to be vying for her attention these past few days.

However, seeing her daughter trying so hard to carry the water, she found it quite amusing and didn't say anything.

Soon it was time for the Lin family to move to their new home.

Three days ago, Lin's father took Lin's mother and Lin Luo to his father-in-law's house to invite people, and also visited his eldest daughter's family.

The eldest sister of the Lin family, Lin Yun'er, married into the Liang family. Her husband was the third son in his family and was known as Liang Laosan.

Liang Laosan has a formal name, Liang Xing.

Lin Yun'er was six years older than Lin Jiujiu. She got married as soon as she came of age and had already given birth to a son and a daughter in the Liang family.

The eldest son, Liang Hua, is eight years old this year, and the youngest daughter, Liang Yu, is four and a half years old, about the same age as the little bean.

The Liang family has four generations living together. The old lady of the Liang family is still in relatively good health, and the family has not yet divided up.

Liang Xing's father had four brothers, but in their generation, there were more than ten cousins, all crammed into one courtyard.

Liang Xing, along with Lin Yun'er and their two children, were only allocated half a room. They shared a room with his elder brother's family, separated from the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) by a tattered curtain.

And it was precisely because of this that when her mother-in-law learned that she had some savings, she preferred to use it to help her younger sister in her own family to buy her a dilapidated thatched hut to live in, rather than use the money to build a house for her own family, so she disliked her even more.

Even on ordinary days, when her sister-in-law used the excuse that she had too many children and there wasn't enough room on half of the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed), she would force her twelve-year-old daughter to stay with them, and her mother-in-law would just stand by and watch.

If she says anything, she'll be scolded for not being considerate of her in-laws.

When Lin's mother arrived, Lin Yun'er was working in the fields. She was one of the few wives in the Liang family who had to work in the fields with the men.

After explaining her purpose, Lin's mother invited Lin Yun'er and Liang Xing to her parents' home for a wedding banquet in a couple of days and to help them with the housewarming party, she left.

Mother Liang glanced at Mother Lin indifferently and said in a somewhat sarcastic tone.

"My dear in-laws, you are too kind. We are just a poor family and we can barely afford to feed ourselves. I'm afraid we don't have the money to give as a gift."
