If Lin Luo glanced sideways slightly when he heard the sound, Yun Shu continued to move forward as if he didn't hear anything.
Instead, the middle-aged man realized that he seemed to have recognized the wrong person. He smiled apologetically and left in the opposite direction with the group of people.
Lin Luo blinked and glanced at Yun Shu.
Yun Shu seemed to have guessed what Lin Luo was thinking and tilted her head slightly towards her. "I'm just Yun Shu."
In just five words, Lin Luo already understood his implication.
No matter what his background was or whether he had any relatives alive, Yun Shu didn't care.
Because he is just Yunshu.
——Lin Luo’s, Yun Shu.
Big cities have nightlife. Unlike Zhoujiawu’s tradition of going home after dark, seven or eight o’clock in the evening is the busiest time on the streets.
Office workers who have worked all day, old people who go out for a walk in the evening, even the cold weather cannot stop people from yearning for the hustle and bustle.
Lin Luo took Yun Shu to walk on the most prosperous streets of Wulian City. Looking at the neon lights unique to big cities, he felt like he had returned to the human world after a long absence.
Unfortunately, this kind of scenery will disappear in half a year.
Since Lin Luo's rebirth, he has rarely recalled his previous life, but now some memories have been brought back to him.
That unknown meteor shower brought destruction to mankind, but also rebirth.
Before her death, the remaining human beings had become a united whole, without distinction of nationality or race.
The man who killed the Zombie King became the first leader, leading mankind to bring life back to this half-destroyed world.
It's strange to say, Lin Luo had already stood at the top of human superpowers at that time, but coincidentally, he had never seen the man who saved the world. He wondered if he was as cold-blooded and powerful as the legend said.
Lin Luo herself is also famous in the end times. In addition to her strength, she is also famous for her independence. She is a famous lone ranger who does not participate in any forces and kills zombies alone.
When he reached level ten, Lin Luo could kill all the zombies in a city with just a thought.
If others knew the cause of Lin Luo's death, they would probably find it ridiculous.
She survived the apocalypse, and her supernatural powers have become one of the strongest in the world. Logically, she should live a good life in the future, but Lin Luo is still exploring the eleventh level that no one has reached and no one even knows exists.
People also call it - God level.
Unfortunately, Lin Luo failed in the end.
--No?.
She looked at the huge screen in the distance showing advertisements. Maybe she had not failed.
"Lolo?"
Yun Shu's shout brought Lin Luo back to his senses. "What's wrong?"
She looked at Yun Shu, whose features looked even more three-dimensional under the light, the smile still on her lips. "Want to eat?"
The place they were visiting now was Wulian City's famous commercial street, where naturally there were many food stalls, and the aroma couldn't help but penetrate the noses of passers-by.
Lin Luo actually gave Yun Shu money and told him to buy whatever he wanted, but Yun Shu refused.
Then Lin Luo didn't force it.
Yun Shu shook his head when he heard the question. What should he say?
Lolo just now... Lolo, looking at the lights in the distance, seemed so lonely, a kind of loneliness that was incompatible with this world.
A sense of panic suddenly surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but shout.
Seeing that Yun Shu couldn't say anything, Lin Luo didn't continue to probe, "Let's go."
It’s better to restore this kind of liveliness as soon as possible.
Lin Luo is waiting. Once his ability reaches level five, he will be able to control electronic equipment at a short distance and reveal some information to people who can make decisions.
When Lin Luo left the village, he was driving an ordinary car, but when he came back, he drove a luxury car that looked expensive at first glance, which immediately sparked heated discussions among the villagers of Zhoujiawu.
Lin Luo sold the original car directly to a second-hand car dealer. Although the price was not much, it was still worth tens of thousands of yuan.
"Girl Luo, have you made a fortune?"
"This car doesn't look cheap at first glance. Where did she get the money to build a house and buy a car?"
After all, everyone knows that Lin Luo’s parents are teachers. How much money can a teacher have?
A villager immediately lowered his voice, "It's her parents' money for saving her life. I heard the person who hit her is a rich second-generation kid."
"Tsk, little girl Luo? This is really..."
…
Lin Luo, driving his new car, parked it directly in the yard, taking up half of the originally small yard.
And she herself was greeted by the enthusiastic little wolf cubs.
Rubbing his feet and turning in circles made Lin Luo feel as if he had walked for ten days or half a month instead of just one day.
However, after the somewhat unhappy Yun Shu got out of the car, Lin Luo turned his attention back to him, "Did you hear those words?"
Yun Shu frowned. "These people are so weird. They're not even familiar with Luo Luo, yet they always like to talk nonsense."
To be honest, Yun Shu didn't have a good impression of Zhoujiawu so far. Among the dozens of villagers, only Grandma Yao truly liked Lin Luo and wished her well.
Some of the other villagers don't care, won't say anything and don't care what others say.
But there is another part that is really bad-mouthed!
The villagers didn't remember what happened the night before, but Yun Shu remembered it clearly. That incident could be said to have exposed a lot of true human nature.
Obviously it was Lolo who was almost hurt, but none of those people comforted Lolo first. Instead, they blamed her for bringing trouble to Zhoujiawu.
Lin Luo looked at the angry Yun Shu, his eyes flickering in brightness but the smile on the corner of his lips remained unchanged, giving the illusion that the emperor was not anxious but the eunuch was.
"Yunshu, this is normal."
"I don't care about them, so I'm not angry. You care about me, so I'm angry."
At this moment, Lin Luo's gaze seemed to have traveled through time and space, and fell on a distant point somewhere unknown.
"But are we just going to let them say what they want?"
Yun Shu knew that Luo Luo had a maturity that was not in line with his age, a bit like he had experienced everything and looked at everything lightly.
But Yunshu is not...
He was very careful. If Luo Luo didn't care, then he would...
Before Yun Shu could think of any clever tricks for revenge, Lin Luo suddenly smiled at him with a hint of mischief in her expression, like a girl who was not even twenty years old.
"Of course not. If you speak so harshly for no reason, you should be punished."
Because he had just given the mental suggestion the night before, problems would easily arise if the interval was too short, so Lin Luo did not do anything when he went out yesterday morning.
But now nearly two days have passed, and she can start again!
What Lin Luo didn't say was that now she treated many people in Zhoujiawu as dead people.
In the apocalypse, two-thirds of the people turned into zombies, and the chances were even higher for the elderly and children. With Zhoujiawu's current state, without Lin Luo's protection, it would almost become a deserted village.
If they were a good village where they lived in harmony, Lin Luo wouldn't mind giving them some protection. After all, she had many fond memories of her childhood here. Unfortunately...
They gradually destroyed their own escape route.
In the next few days, many villagers in Zhoujiawu continued to suffer from nightmares every night, which made them exhausted in just a few days.
Especially the former village chief, who always dreamed that the girl he abandoned came to collect debts from him, making him so nervous that it seemed like he would break at any time.
At the same time, they began to naturally downplay the existence of Lin Luo and Yun Shu in their minds, just like you know that a person exists, but you will no longer actively think about him, let alone mention him, just like two parallel lines that do not intersect.
It is almost the end of December, and there are only eight months left until the end of the world. Lin Luo just wants to seize the time to upgrade and stockpile supplies. If he has the free time, he might as well mark a few more water veins as soon as possible.
At this point, except for Grandma Yao and Yunshu, Zhoujiawu has completely severed ties with Lin Luo.
The days passed quickly in the peace. On the last day of December, Lin Luo received a call from Aunt Lin.
Grandpa Lin had a total of seven children, four girls and three boys. Father Lin was the fifth child, and Aunt Lin was the first child, the legendary eldest sister.
This woman is different from Uncle Lin and Uncle Lin. She is a really honest person. After she got married and gave birth to two sons, and after they got established in their husband's family, she honestly raised the children with her husband, saved money for her sons to get married, and took care of her grandchildren. Her life basically revolved around these things.
"Girl Luo? Ah, you're going to have your holiday soon, right?"
Aunt Lin's voice had a strong accent and a hint of caution.
As the eldest child, she is already sixty years old this year, and her eldest granddaughter is already in high school, so when she looks at Lin Luo, she feels like she is looking at her granddaughter, and she also feels pity for her for losing her parents at such a young age.
"Yeah, almost there."
Lin Luo did not tell anyone else about his suspension of study, and the Lin family would not go to the school to inquire about this. However, when faced with Aunt Lin's question, Lin Luo still gave an ambiguous reply.
After all, it's too troublesome to explain.
"Okay." Aunt Lin's laughter came, "Come to my house for the New Year this year. I've prepared a room for you. Come as soon as the holiday starts!"
Aunt Lin has a three-story house in the countryside, which she built with her life savings. In addition to the two elderly people, it also houses Aunt Lin's eighty-year-old mother-in-law and the families of her eldest son and youngest son.
There are more than a dozen people in total, and the house is packed. If Lin Luo goes there, who knows whose room will be moved out to make room for others.
"No need, aunt." Lin Luogang refused, and Aunt Lin was unwilling to do so.
"Yes, yes. Where else can you go for the New Year as a little girl? Come to your aunt's house. She will make you your favorite fried pork ribs!"
Knowing that Lin Luo was shy, the eldest aunt immediately said that she would ask her eldest cousin, who was also her eldest son, to pick her up, and asked Lin Luo the specific date to come back.
Lin Luo sighed softly, "Aunt, I really won't be back. I'll be spending the New Year at my grandfather's house this year, so you don't have to worry about me."
——Grandpa’s house?
Aren't Luo Yatou's grandparents dead? But there might be other relatives there.
Aunt Lin didn't know much about Grandpa Luo's experience of fleeing famine, but she knew that Lin Luo often went there during the winter and summer vacations.
I thought maybe the little girl was closer to the relatives over there.
Aunt Lin didn't insist and just asked, "So when are you going to Grandpa's house this year?"
Grandpa Lin is now living with my second aunt, and each other family pays a fixed amount of child support every month.
With the elders still around, it would be inappropriate for Lin Luo to say no to coming to pay New Year's greetings.
And Grandpa Lin...
Lin Luo neither disliked him like Uncle Lin and the others, nor did she have any kindness towards him like Aunt Lin.
He is a very strange old man.
Grandma Lin died early and even her mother had never met her.
Grandpa Lin never remarried and continued to live his life like this.
Lin's father said that Grandpa Lin was the village accountant and his family was well off, so raising seven children was not difficult.
But Grandpa Lin’s attitude towards children can be summed up in two words – free-range.
——What? You don't want to go to school and want to work? Sure.
——What? You still want to continue studying? Okay, go ahead.
It's like this, whatever you choose, he won't interfere.
It was Grandpa Lin who paid for Lin's father's high school education without any hesitation or excuses, while university education was free at normal schools.
As for his grandchildren, he is even more indifferent.
She won't help take care of the children, and there's no obvious preference for boys over girls. The New Year's money she gives out is the same every year.
The old man is now eighty years old. He is still nimble in hands and feet and has a clear mind. He likes to read newspapers and listen to operas on weekdays.
Even when Lin's father passed away, everyone was worried that Grandpa Lin would not be able to bear the blow of seeing his son die young while they were comforting Lin Luo.
Who would have thought that the old man said calmly that he was open-minded and there was no need to worry about him.
If we use today's words, it is probably Buddhist.
The main reason why Lin Luo had no likes or dislikes for him was because they were not familiar with each other, but Lin's father still had some feelings for this father.
"I'll see. Don't worry, auntie. I have a car and will come over myself."
After chatting for a few more words, the phone was finally hung up.
However, this phone call also made Lin Luo look at the calendar and found that there were only more than 20 days left until the Chinese New Year.
This seems to be her and Yunshu's first year?
"Yunshu, let's go buy New Year's goods tomorrow!"
Facing the kitchen, Lin Luo's voice was filled with a hint of long-lost nostalgia.
What do we need to prepare for the Chinese New Year?
Lin Luo began to recall.
Spring Festival couplets, blessing characters, various dried goods and fruits...
Come to think of it, there are still many things.
I also remember the kind and cheerful smiles of Mr. and Mrs. Lin.
Today is New Year's Day. Lin Luo and Yun Shu walked in the town and found that it was more lively than ever.
In addition, some villagers who had gone out to work have returned one after another in the past few days. This ordinary little town is about to usher in its busiest time of the year.
"Lolo, pickled fish?"
"purchase!"
"pistachio?"
"Buy, 20 kilograms!"
"Tangerine?"
"Okay, ten pounds."
…
The conversation between Lin Luo and Yun Shu is basically a repetition of the above, at most the objects in it are changed, but in summary it still cannot be separated from the three words "buy, buy, buy".
Lin Luo even took a fancy to the man selling bonsai nearby. She bought five pots of kumquats and took them home. Maybe they would be successful. Wouldn't she have fresh kumquats to eat in the future?
Like a few days ago, Yunshu reclaimed another half acre of land in the backyard, which was originally only half an acre. After harvesting a batch of potatoes and peanuts, the farming task was fully handed over to Yunshu.
Lin Luo had an inexplicable confidence in Yunshu's farming skills. After seeing the kumquats, he thought to himself, why not let Yunshu grow some watermelons?
How can summer be complete without watermelon?!
When he finally returned home, Lin Luo was still thinking about growing something else. After all, fresh food is definitely better than frozen food.
"Lolo, how about some beef and corn dumplings later?"
Yun Shu recently learned how to make dumplings. After Lin Luo had the opportunity to try them once, he immediately threw away the frozen dumplings he had stockpiled and fell in love with the handmade dumplings that were freshly made and cooked.
"Okay, I'll bring the soup!"
Soon, after finishing their meal, the two began to decorate this home, which was originally a bit deserted. With their cooperation, this two-and-a-half-story small building was suddenly filled with the atmosphere of the New Year.
Red lanterns were hung under the eaves of the main gate, and couplets were posted on the doors on both sides. In the middle, a big "Fu" character was written upside down in accordance with the characteristics of the Flower Kingdom.
Even the newly bought kumquat tree in the yard was decorated with two red bows, which looked very festive.
When Grandma Yao pushed the door open and walked in, she was stunned for a moment. "It's time to dress up for the New Year!"
She smiled and nodded. "By the way, Luo girl, where are you going to celebrate the New Year this year?"
She doesn't think Lin Luo will stay in Zhoujiawu. After all, there are relatives on Lin's father's side, and Yun Shu also has to go back for the New Year, right?
Because she didn't know when they would leave, Grandma Yao came to the house in advance. "Don't I have a few chickens? They're genuine free-range chickens. Girl Luo, come and tie up a couple before you leave and take them back to nourish your body."
Lin Luo suddenly remembered that he had said before that he wanted to raise chickens. When Yun Shu finally bought two chicks after studying for a long time and planned to practice with them, only a few chicken feathers and a few drops of blood were left the next day.
Apparently, Yunshu had forgotten that he had grown up quite a bit and was now a little wolf who liked to run up the mountain by himself. It was funny to think about Yunshu's look at that time.
"Grandma, no need. I'm spending the New Year here this year."
As for Grandpa Lin, she planned to go on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and return on the same day. She didn't want to get involved too much.
Grandma Yao frowned slightly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she said nothing. Instead, Lin Luo took the initiative to invite her to celebrate the New Year together.
"No, no, I'm just an old woman..." Grandma Yao's first reaction was to refuse, followed by sadness.
Her son, her only son, has yet to call her to celebrate the New Year with him.
In fact, it was the same last year. Her son came over in a hurry when he was in the third grade of junior high school. He stuffed her with 1,000 yuan and left without even having a meal.
Grandma Yao knew that this year would probably be similar to last year, but she still had some anticipation in her heart.
"There are only two of us. It will be more lively if you come, grandma." Lin Luo had already prepared a way to deal with Grandma Yao's refusal, so it didn't take a moment. Grandma Yao, who didn't know why she agreed, walked back to her residence in a daze.
Just looking at the dilapidated house and the deserted atmosphere in front of me, a glimmer of tears still flashed around my eyes.
Lin Luo watched the express delivery services being suspended one after another, especially in remote areas like theirs, which stopped even earlier.
She came to the basement again. After several months of hard work, half of the space here was filled. There were even ten boxes of compressed biscuits, which were classified by flavor.
Looking at such a basement, Lin Luo felt very happy.
Chinese New Year is Chinese New Year, but Lin Luo always feels a little uncomfortable to stop stockpiling. In fact, with her strength, she will not have to worry about getting food even in the end of the world. Now it is still that weird storage habit at work.
She couldn't help but wonder where to go to "buy some more goods".
“Lolo!”
At this moment, Yun Shu suddenly appeared on the stairs leading to the basement. "...The little wolf cub has come back with a wild boar."
Lin Luo: “?!”
"...No? Is it as tall as a wild boar's leg?"
However, when this wild boar, which was a little smaller than an ordinary wild boar but was still a real wild boar, appeared in front of him, Lin Luo couldn't help but look at the little wolf cub.
The animal was ten times its size, and the wild boar had thick skin and flesh, so it didn't look like the wolf cub could succeed.
"It should be the big wolf."
After carefully looking at the wild boar's fatal wound, Yun Shu made a judgment.
Little Wolf's father?
That scumbag wolf who left the child to Yun Shu and ran away?
"So this is the food money it pays for its children?" Lin Luo touched his chin and felt that he had guessed the truth.
In the past, wild boars often came down the mountain to cause trouble in places like Zhoujiawu, but now there are fewer and fewer of them. Moreover, it is a cold winter now. It must have taken a lot of effort for the big wolf to send a wild boar here at this time.
"Woo, woo~"
The little wolf doesn't have the complicated thoughts of humans. When he sees food, he comes forward excitedly, as if he wants to have a bite first.
Yun Shu stopped him with a kick.
"Lolo, let's make some pickled meat."
In Yunshu's mind, this wild boar already belonged to Lin Luo. He had thought about going up the mountain to hunt some food for Luo Luo before.
But Lin Luo refused the wild game, saying it was unhygienic.
Yun Shu gave up this idea, except occasionally taking the wolf cub up the mountain to give it a snack and train it.
Now the food is lying in front of him automatically, Lolo can't refuse it.
The little wolf cub really couldn't eat much. Even in winter, the meat would go bad in a few days. Thinking of the wild boar meat he had eaten when he was a child, Lin Luo said: Thank you to Wolf Dad for sending the wild boar.
For fear of dirtying the yard, Yun Shu carried the wild boar to a stream on the mountain to deal with it. The pig weighing several hundred pounds was like a toy in his hands and did not affect Yun Shu's pace at all.
About an hour later, Yunshu came down the mountain, followed by the wolf cub who had had a good meal.
And the wild boar, which was originally very strong, has been cleaned up and is just waiting for Yun Shu to show his skills.
The kitchen was difficult to operate, so Lin Luo helped carry a table to the yard and put the hollowed-out pig on it.
As for other internal organs, the little wolf cub only ate a small part of them, and there were still a lot of large intestines, pig livers, etc. that would be processed later.
But it must be said that the smell of this wild boar is indeed unpleasant. Lin Luo simply put on a mental shield for himself to isolate the smell.
"Lolo, shall we make ham from the pig's hind legs?"
Yun Shu gestured at the pig's two hind legs. Compared to ordinary domestic pigs, wild boar meat is redder, which is said to be because it contains more iron.
Anyway, Yunshu had killed many wild boars in the mountains before, but they were usually just roasted, and there was nothing special about it.
Now that Lin Luo wants to eat, he naturally plans carefully.
"Okay, you have the final say."
Originally, he was thinking about whether making ham would be too troublesome or whether it was possible, but Lin Luo changed his mind and thought that since Yun Shu mentioned it, he must be sure of it.
When it comes to food, Lin Luo really doesn't have much of a say.
With Lin Luo's support, Yun Shu completely let go. He took off his coat and only wore a short-sleeved shirt inside in the middle of winter. Then he used the knife to cut various parts of the pig, muttering something.
"This tenderloin can be used for stir-frying. Adding some pickled mustard greens, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots should be good. As for the pork shop, I saw the tutorial and it seems not difficult either. I'll try it later. And these two front trotters, use them in braising. There's quite a lot of meat. I'll send some to grandma later..."
1. Lin Luo, who was listening: "..."
Was she watching some live cooking show? Seeing that Yunshu could handle it all on her own, she went back inside to do her own thing.
"By the way, these ribs are for Luo Luo to fry."
Yun Shu still remembered that when Lin Luo was talking to Aunt Lin on the phone, she said that Luo Luo liked to eat fried pork ribs the most. But it wasn't Yun Shu who eavesdropped, but the sound was so loud that it automatically reached his ears!
It can be said that this wild boar was arranged very clearly without any waste.
That night, Lin Luo ate the dish of stir-fried pork tenderloin, which was served with pickled mustard greens, white mushrooms, and blanched winter bamboo shoots that had also been shredded. It was a perfect dish to go with rice.
It’s so delicious that it has no friends!
I originally thought that wild boars would be more flavorful than domestic pigs, but I didn’t expect it to be not at all. I don’t know how Yunshu came out, but it is chewier and more tender than ordinary pork.
Even Lin Luo couldn't help but eat two bowls of rice, not to mention Yun Shu, who ate up the whole pot of rice for five people and other dishes without leaving any.
Yun Shu had been busy with this pig for about two days. During these two days, Lin Luo had eaten almost all the eighteen different ways of cooking pork and all the different parts of pork. Lin Luo felt that if he continued like this, he would definitely get fat.
"Hey." Grandma Yao, who had received the wild boar meat sent by Yun Shu and brought some vegetables grown at home to thank Lin Luo, couldn't help but grin at the sight of the pickled pork and sausages hanging in the yard. "This is what home looks like!"
There are still ten days until the Chinese New Year.
The population of Zhoujiawu is two or three times more than before.
Now when you walk on the street, you can see children running around, and the whole village seems to have come alive again.
However, the Lin Luo family, which has the most support, is still as quiet as ever.
Lin Luo drove in and out of the village, and after using mental suggestion, he was like a invisible person in the village.
This is just as well, otherwise she wouldn't have that much patience to deal with those who "sympathize" with her.
But I didn’t expect that under such circumstances, someone would still come to my door on their own initiative.
As mentioned before, Lin Luo's mental suggestion will be less effective on those with strong wills or those with strong mental abilities.
And the middle-aged man in front of the door is obviously the first case.
"Uncle Zhou."
Lin Luo smiled and took the initiative to call people. Speaking of which, they had met each other this year in this time and space.
It was at the funeral of Lin’s father and mother.
After the funeral, the elder, whose full name was Uncle Zhou Yaozu, took the initiative to give Lin Luo his contact information in private, telling her to be sure to find him if she had any problems.
As the most successful wealthy man in Zhoujiawu, his words carry a lot of weight.
"Girl Luo, I told them you were at home and asked them one by one, but they all said they didn't know."
Zhou Yaozu came alone, carrying a lot of bags. When he saw a young man in the yard, he was stunned for a moment, but soon seemed to remember something.
"You are Luo Yatou's cousin, right?"
"I'm sorry to bother you taking care of Miss Luo during this time."
Yun Shu glanced at Lin Luo imperceptibly, and Lin Luo gave him a look.
Yunshu understood.
"Hello, nice to meet you, Uncle Zhou." He just heard Luo Luo call him that. Yun Shu followed suit, and after some politeness, he took the initiative to leave without disturbing the two of them.
Seeing Yun Shu leave, Zhou Yaozu frowned and looked at Lin Luo, "Miss Luo, why did you drop out of school? If I hadn't visited you a while ago, you wouldn't have known about this!"
Lin Luo: "I'm not in a good mood. I want to take a break for a while."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yaozu also realized that his tone seemed too harsh. Lin Luo was not one of his subordinates, but just a little girl who had just lost her parents.
He moved his body unconsciously and coughed lightly, "Well, I don't mean to blame you." It can be seen that he was trying his best to soften his tone. Although it still sounded a bit awkward from an outsider's perspective, it could also be seen that Zhou Yaozu tried his best.
"It's okay, I understand." Lin Luo is not really a twenty-year-old girl. She can still tell whether he really cares or not. Otherwise, Zhou Yaozu would not be sitting here now.
Uncle Zhou is about the same age as Lin's mother and they grew up together as playmates. However, after graduating from high school, he dropped out of school to work. Later, he started a company with his own skills and settled down in the capital.
When Lin Luo was a child, he would come to pay New Year's greetings to Grandpa Luo every Chinese New Year. It is said that when Zhou's mother almost had a dystocia when giving birth to Zhou Yaozu, it was Grandpa Luo who saved the lives of both mother and child.
After my grandparents passed away, I changed the people I visited for New Year’s greetings to the Lin family.
In fact, looking back on some past events from Lin Luo's perspective now, Uncle Zhou probably has some feelings for Lin's mother.
But Lin Luo had no intention of exploring these things of the previous generation.
However, I still owe Zhou Yaozu a favor from my previous life.
Zhou Yaozu looked into Lin Luo's eyes, sighed silently in his heart, and quickly changed the subject to other things.
Strictly speaking, he had nothing to do when he came here this time. He just wanted to see how Lin Luo was doing and whether he needed any help.
Seeing her now rosy complexion and no longer haggard expression, a huge weight lifted from his heart. "Miss Luo, your Aunt Lan is cooking at home. Come over with your cousin later. Xiao Mengke keeps yelling for Sister Luo!"
Xiao Meng's full name is Zhou Mengjie. She is Zhou Yaozu's youngest daughter. She is ten years old this year and is still a naughty child. But for some reason, she is particularly fond of Lin Luo, whom she has only met a few times, and she listens to Lin Luo very much.
Lin Luo was a little uncomfortable with such enthusiasm, but she did not refuse Zhou Yaozu's invitation. However, she still had to ask Yun Shu. Whether he went or not was entirely up to Yun Shu herself. Lin Luo would not make the decision on her own.
Of course Yunshu wanted to go. He saw clearly that Luo Luo had some respect for this person, and that was enough!
Zhou Yaozu's house is easy to find. It is the tallest, most luxurious and largest house in Zhoujiawu.
The house was built three or four years ago. It has five floors and is very new. It even has an elevator installed, which caused a lot of discussion in the village at that time.
Every Chinese New Year, the Zhou family would come and stay for a while, and it depended on the situation on other days.
This was not Lin Luo's first time here, so she was not unfamiliar with the place. However, as soon as she stepped through the door, a pure white Samoyed ran towards her quickly.
"sweet dumpling!"
Zhou Yaozu was afraid of hurting Lin Luo, so he shouted and tried to stop the overly lively dog. However, when Tangyuan was about to hit Zhou Yaozu, he took a detour and stopped in front of Lin Luo, showing a standard angelic smile and looking well-behaved.
Zhou Yaozu: "...Haha, hahaha, Tangyuan really likes you."
Zhou Mengjie raised this dog half a year ago. He usually listens to her, but sometimes he gets naughty and it's really a headache. I didn't expect that he likes Lin Luo so much.
"Sister Luo!"
Think of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will appear!
A ten-year-old girl with a ponytail rushed straight towards Lin Luo, also bypassing Zhou Yaozu. The scene was surprisingly similar to the previous one.
Zhou Yaozu: “…”
"Xiao Meng, long time no see."
Lin Luo touched the little girl's head. She had eliminated the Zhou family's mental suggestion before entering the door, so it was normal for the little girl to treat her warmly now.
She saw the expectant look of the narrator dog again, and her other hand touched Tangyuan's head.
Then the man and the dog smiled happily at the same time, which made Yun Shu, who was standing beside them, feel a little dazzling.
"Hey, what are you all doing standing at the door? Come in!"
Zhou Yaozu's wife, Lan Yueyin, was wearing an apron and holding a half-peeled garlic clove. "Girl Luo, come quickly! I just fried some meatballs. They smell so good!"
Then he looked at Yun Shu again, "Oh, this boy is really tall and handsome!"
Lan Yueyin is 42 years old this year, but because she takes good care of herself, she looks like she is in her 30s.
She is a smart person, but not the kind of smart that makes people hate her. Just like she knows that her husband is good to the Luo family, no matter what the reason, Lan Yueyin will still treat Lin Luo warmly and will not show any bad emotions.
After entering the house, he saw Zhou Yaozu's mother again. The old lady in her seventies was a little weak. When she saw Lin Luo, she remembered who she was, but she could only smile and coughed when she talked too much.
"Where's your brother?"
Zhou Yaozu also has a son who is in high school. "When someone comes, don't you even bother to come out and entertain them?"
Zhou Yaozu was obviously a little disappointed with his son.
When his son was just born, he and his wife were busy with their careers and left their son to be raised by his mother. As a result, the old mother doted on her little grandson.
Although it has been forced to change a little in recent years, it is still a bit bearish.
"He's just playing on his phone upstairs. I don't want to bother him."
