Chapter 615: Who is she?
"……Thanks."
After saying thank you politely out of habit, Lin Tang turned back to the house and came out the next moment with a can of milk powder.
"Sister Xiaojing, please sit down first. I'll go make you some milk powder."
As he said that, he went to the kitchen to get the thermos.
Lin Xiaojing was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and stopped her, "No need, Tangtang, I've already had dinner."
Lin Tang ignored him, went into the kitchen, and got the thermos in less than 30 seconds.
After coming out, he said, "What do you mean by no need? Look at how thin you have become."
While complaining, he skillfully scooped a full spoonful of milk powder and put it into the enamel jar.
Gu Yingzhou never allowed Lin Tang to touch dangerous items such as electricity and hot water.
Even though he knew Tangtang was not a child, he was still worried.
"Don't put the thermos on the table. What if it burns you?"
With a frown, Gu Yingzhou gave a warning and poured hot water into the enamel tub.
Lin Tang knew that the other person was concerned about him, so he didn't argue with him and said with a smile, "I know."
She glanced at Gu Yingzhou with her curved eyes and stirred the milk powder in the enamel jar with chopsticks.
Lin Xiaojing sat quietly.
Seeing Tangtang and her boyfriend being so sweet together, and thinking of Mu Sheng who had disappeared, her eyes dimmed.
Lin Tang prepared the milk powder and placed it in front of Lin Xiaojing.
"Well, drink it quickly. If you don't drink it, I don't want the gift anymore."
The first thing he said was a strong threat.
I wonder if there is anyone like her, who is not afraid of anything but being polite to her own family.
Lin Xiaojing felt helpless when faced with Tangtang's unyielding gaze.
Picking up the enamel pot, the hot temperature spread along the fingertips and almost reached the heart.
A faint smile appeared on her face. "I'll drink it. Thank you, Tangtang."
One bite and your whole mouth is filled with sweetness.
It tastes so good!
...I don’t know if Mu Sheng is full.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaojing felt the sweetness in her mouth slowly dissipating, followed by bitterness.
Time goes by slowly, it seems not fast, but it actually passes by very fast.
It was soon noon.
The aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.
Li Xiuli took off her apron and left the kitchen.
"Eldest brother, go call your grandparents. Second brother, call your eldest uncle. Third brother, call your third uncle... Dinner is almost ready!"
The whole yard was filled with fragrance, and everyone in the Lin family was already very greedy.
As soon as I heard the chef's order, I took action immediately.
Even Lin Zhicheng's four little ones came back and followed the adults around, helping with this and that.
Gu Yingzhou moved the tables and put them together with ease, and after finishing the tables, he put the chairs in place.
"Are there enough stools at home?" he asked.
Lin Tang followed to help, and when he heard the question, he replied: "Enough, there are some in the utility room and in the backyard."
Lin Lu is a carpenter. When he has nothing to do, he makes tables and stools. Therefore, no matter whether it is the first, second or third room, there is no shortage of these things.
Gu Yingzhou nodded slightly and went to move a stool.
-
After everyone finished their tasks, the Lin family finally started eating.
Lin Xiuyuan and Zhao Shuzhen sat in the first seat, and the others sat down in order.
"The food is good today. Thank you for the hard work of the second son's wife," said Zhao Shuzhen.
There was not much expression on her face. After all, she was a female macho who had been a bandit, so she was not a gentle person at all.
Li Xiuli naturally knew her mother-in-law's temperament. She shook her head and smiled, saying, "It's not hard. There have been many good things happening at home this year. We should have treated you to this meal a long time ago. It just so happens that it's Tangtang's birthday so we can all get together."
He glanced at Gu Yingzhou and continued, "...It's also a good opportunity to talk about Tangtang and Yingzhou's engagement."
Everyone suddenly looked at the two young men.
Surprise or blessing, mischievous or happy...
Lin Tang is not a thick-skinned person, but his face still felt a little hot when he saw the different expressions of his family members.
"Why are you looking at us like that? You act like everyone is not going to get married." She said speechlessly.
It's really uncomfortable to be stared at like that.
Zhao Shuzhen noticed that her granddaughter was uncomfortable and changed the subject, "The food is almost cold, eat quickly."
As he said this, he picked up a piece of his favorite dish for Lin Xiuyuan who was standing beside him.
Humph, she doesn't feel sorry for the younger generation at all. She only helps Tangtang, the clever girl, out of trouble because of those photos at home.
Lin Tang was unaware of Zhao Shuzhen's inner grumblings and thought that the old lady favored him. He was so touched.
The sticky eyes drifted over.
Zhao Shuzhen's old face froze when she saw her eyes, and she suddenly withdrew her gaze and looked at Lin Xiuyuan beside her.
Lin Tang: “…”
...My face hurts a little.
She actually forgot that her grandma only had her grandpa in her eyes, so she was nothing.
Gu Yingzhou picked up some food for Lin Tang and noticed that the little girl was in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about. He leaned towards her and asked, "What are you thinking about? Why aren't you eating?"
Lin Tang came back to his senses and started eating.
This is her birthday party, so of course she has to eat more.
In the evening, her mother will make longevity noodles for her. She is looking forward to it.
Today's dishes are really good, with meat, vegetables, and dry rice. Although there is not much meat, the dry rice is mixed with coarse rice. But this meal alone is something many people cannot eat during the Chinese New Year.
In fact, the Lin family never ate so well even during the Chinese New Year in the past.
Looking at the dishes on the table, the four little ones in the family were overjoyed.
He wanted to bury his face in the bowl, and looked very ferocious.
The adults looked at the little kids eating with big mouthfuls of food, their faces full of smiles.
After dinner, a group of kids patted their butts and went out to play with their friends.
The others sat in the yard and talked about Lin Tang and Gu Yingzhou's engagement.
Lin Xiuyuan looked at Lin Lu and said softly, "How are the things prepared at home? Is there enough meat?"
He had never suffered much in his life, except for the time of famine when his life was a little difficult.
After the Lin family's life improved, the old couple had the filial care of three wives and a number of grandchildren, and their life was more comfortable than that of retired old people in the city.
In addition, Lin Tang occasionally researches some pills to nourish the health of his family, and now he looks younger and younger.
That gentle face looked like a generation apart when placed next to the three Lin Fu brothers.
Of course, the three Lin Fu brothers look older.
They work in the fields all year round, their skin is tanned, and their faces are full of wrinkles, making them no different from the men in the village.
They don’t mind. The wrinkles on their faces are proof of their hard life. What is there to be disgusted about?
Lin Lu smiled and said, "That's enough. An An and her brother-in-law prepared a lot of meat, and Tang Tang and Ying Zhou prepared a lot of food. We have everything we need."
Speaking of which, here the engagement is prepared by the girl's family.
But Yingzhou was unwilling and sent a lot of food.
Therefore, there are more and less things in the house.
Lin Xiuyuan nodded, "That's enough."
After a few words of concern, he stopped talking.
Zhao Shuzhen is a rather solitary person and rarely goes out. She doesn't know much about Gu Yingzhou. She only heard some things about him from other people, but she has a good overall impression of this young man.
Although the impression is good, I still need to say what needs to be said.
Despite his age, he is still in good spirits, and his eyes are bright and powerful, like flashes of lightning.
