Little Xie Lingge?
Xie Lin raised his eyebrows slightly.
Looking at the embarrassed, hesitant figure standing not far away, a smile flashed across his eyes unconsciously.
"Come to see you."
"oh."
Lin Yiwan suppressed the embarrassment in her heart and walked forward.
"Will you stay for dinner? I bought some fish and I grabbed the last one."
Talking about the fish she bought, Lin Yiwan couldn't help but curved her almond-shaped eyes. Her fair little face was a little proud, playful and smart.
Xie Lin originally just wanted to come over and ask her when it would be convenient for her to go home with him, but when he met her curved eyebrows, he nodded for some reason.
"good."
Pushing open the vermilion lacquered door, two people, one in front and one behind, entered the courtyard.
They had already reported their marriage and were just waiting for approval, so having a meal together in private was not out of the ordinary.
It's just the truth. When they were really in the same yard together, Lin Yiwan still felt a little uncomfortable.
Obviously, she had been married in her previous life, but when facing him, she could never be calm.
Lin Yiwan could only blame it on his overly strong sense of existence.
"Please sit down first. I'll make you some tea."
When they came to the backyard, Lin Yiwan hurriedly asked him to sit down.
After putting the fish down, she washed herself and came under the locust tree carrying the kettle and teapot.
Xie Lin walked around the courtyard.
The first impression is that it is clean and tidy without losing its atmosphere.
Under the porch, there is a string of teardrop-shaped glass wind chimes, which look like drops of crystal clear water. When the wind blows, they make clear and pleasant sounds.
There are several pots of carefully cared-for orchids, with emerald green leaves and white jade-like flowers, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance.
On the swing, there is a pillow embroidered with a pattern of a small bridge and flowing water.
There was an open book next to the pillow.
"Brother Xie Ling, would you like some scented tea? This is all I have here."
Lin Yiwan said a little embarrassedly.
In the study room of the courtyard, her mother collected many books, and Lin Yiwan liked to read them when she had nothing to do after get off work.
When she sees something interesting, she tries to make it.
Flower tea, preserved fruits, cakes, embroidery…
My grandmother's family was a prominent family in the old society. After the war, most of her family immigrated, leaving only her in Beijing.
In order to support her grandfather's anti-Japanese war career, she donated almost half of the family property, leaving only a small part for herself.
Not long after grandpa returned from the victory, grandma passed away, leaving mother alone.
Grandpa took into account the friendship between his first wife and his wife for helping him, and even after he remarried, he would not allow anyone to touch the inheritance left by grandma.
This is also why my mother was able to inherit so many good things.
Later, his mother passed away early. Perhaps out of concern for his grandfather, Lin Weimin did not dare to trick her into handing over the inheritance.
Now that grandpa is not here, aren't they eyeing them covetously?
"Yes."
Xie Lin retracted his gaze and turned to look at the girl opposite him.
The slender jade figure grasped the handle of the kettle, lifted the lid, tilted the kettle slightly, and the steaming water slowly flowed into the teapot like a thin thread, making a soft gurgling sound.
The flowers in the teapot slowly expand as water flows in, and a faint fragrance floats in the air.
After Lin Yiwan poured out the first round of water, she refilled it with boiling water.
While waiting, she took out a special towel and wiped the water stains that were accidentally spilled on the table.
After a while, she poured the brewed scented tea into the cup in front of him.
"Thank you, brother Lin, please have some tea."
Her clear eyes unconsciously showed a hint of nervousness as she secretly checked his expression.
Xie Lin laughed.
Nodding slightly, he picked up the teacup on the table.
As he got closer, the fragrance became stronger. Xie Lin didn't know much about flowers and didn't know what kind of flower it was, but he knew that the scent was unexpectedly pleasant.
Take a sip, it’s sweet, smooth, fresh and elegant.
“It’s delicious.”
He praised it.
As soon as the words fell, those round eyes curved into crescents again, with a hint of pride.
"Then drink slowly, I'll go cook."
After saying this, Lin Yiwan walked happily towards the kitchen.
She also thought that the lily and chrysanthemum tea was delicious, but Song Huaiqing said it was too fragrant and not as refreshing as green tea.
No wonder he and she are not on the same page.
In the kitchen, the grass carp was not dead yet, and its gills were opening and closing.
Lin Yiwan first put the rice in the pot, lit the honeycomb coal, and put the pot on the stove.
Then he carried the fish to the side of the water tank, picked up the rolling pin, and hit it with a hammer.
But her courage was not strong enough. After one blow, the fish not only did not faint, but also struggled with crackling sounds.
"ah!"
There was a hint of panic on her pale little face, and she stepped back in fear.
But I didn't expect to run into a solid wall of meat!
"careful!"
A big hand held her arm firmly.
Lin Yiwan's pretty face turned slightly red, and she felt a little embarrassed. She was about to step back, but Daju politely let go of her hand.
"Are you okay?"
Xie Lin lowered his eyes and looked at her.
Lin Yiwan's eyelashes fluttered, and her pink little face looked as if smeared with rouge, as if she was shy and embarrassed.
"It's okay, this fish is a bit fierce."
The trembling voice unconsciously carried a slight upward ending tone, and the purring voice seemed to have a hook, which made 그's ears itch uncontrollably.
"It's a bit fierce, let me kill it."
Xie Lin said, without waiting for her to refuse, he rolled up his sleeves and squatted down.
The rod was still raised and lowered, and the fish fainted at the sound of the light rod.
Xie Lin picked up the kitchen knife beside him and just as he started to cut, he paused as if he wanted to do something.
"How do you want to drive?"
Lin Yiwan hadn't recovered from his dominance yet. Hearing this, she spoke in a daze.
"Open back."
"good."
Xie Lin nodded, and used the kitchen knife in his hand to scrape off the fish scales. He scratched and chopped the fish's back with the blade. With a "click" sound, the fish broke open from the back.
Lin Yiwan's eyes widened as she watched him move so effortlessly.
"Brother Xie Lin, do you often kill fish?"
Unable to help herself, she asked curiously.
"Occasionally."
After opening the back and removing the internal organs, he put the fish into the basin to clean it without waiting for Lin Yiwan to say anything.
Under the casually rolled-up sleeves, the veins on her tight and smooth forearms were faintly visible, and the joints of her thighs were distinct in the water.
In the previous life, the man who held a high position in the army... was actually squatting in the kitchen killing fish for her?
This realization made Lin Yiwan a little dazed.
