Thanks to the friendly sponsorship from the South China Base, this year's New Year's Eve dinner has a richer variety of dishes than last year. Not to mention, when Lin Luo, Yun Shu, Lan Yueyin and others arrived, they quickly added a few more dishes, as if they were afraid that they wouldn't have enough to eat!
"Come on, Luo Yatou and Xiaoyun, each have a roast duck leg. Eating the duck legs will give you strength!" Grandma Zhou happily gave the two legs of roast duck directly to the two of them, as if they were children who received special care during the Chinese New Year.
"Another bowl of fish ball soup, not too dry."
Grandma Yao picked up a large soup spoon and served Lin Luo and Yun Shu a bowl of delicious fish ball soup. The snow-white fish balls were paired with a few green spinach, which looked very appetizing.
After serving the fish soup, Grandma Yao looked at Lin Luo with concern again, "Miss Luo has lost a lot of weight these days."
As soon as this sentence was spoken, it was quickly echoed by the other elders, so Lin Luo and Yun Shu's bowls were immediately filled with a lot more dishes. If the small bowls were not too full, there would probably be more.
Lin Luo: "..." Although she was a little tired these days, the Capital Base would definitely not be stingy when it came to food. The food was quite abundant. She even ate more than usual, so she shouldn't be too thin.
This is probably what the legendary elders mean by "thin". It reminds Lin Luo of his grandmother Luo, who would nag him "Why are you getting thinner again?" every time she saw him when he was a child. Lin Luo was not opposed to this kind of thought.
Mo Mo and Yun Shu exchanged a glance, and then they both lowered their heads to eat. On the other side, no one asked Lin Luo what happened as they were gone for so long, but they happily shared the changes in Zhoujiawu and what they had done in the past week.
For example, Grandma Yao and Mother Zhao pickled a few chickens and ducks and hatched a few chicks and ducklings.
For example, everyone planted vegetable seeds sent from the South China base in the fields and built two greenhouses.
For example, on the first night after Lin Luo and the others left, Hong Hu was instigated by his two good brothers to sing love songs downstairs of Xiaoyue's building in the middle of the night. Zhou Guangzong and others then ganged up on him and made him copy twenty pieces of calligraphy as punishment for "disturbing the public."
Talking about this matter again now, Hong Hu was so upset that he almost buried his head in his bowl. He didn't understand why he had acted so impulsively and done such a stupid thing?!
Each of them sounded very ordinary or insignificant, but as Zhou Jiawu and the others talked and laughed, and imitated the scene at that time, Lin Luo couldn't help but think of the embarrassing and funny look at that time.
She had no doubt that Xiaoyue must have beaten Honghu afterwards!
In such a lively atmosphere, the New Year's Eve dinner was coming to an end. After receiving a lot of blessings, Lin Luo and Yun Shu were "sent back" to rest. Perhaps in their eyes, the two of them must have been working hard day and night in the past few days.
Lin Luo knew that this matter was very troublesome to explain, so he didn't say anything more. After saying goodbye to Yun Shu and everyone else, he set out on the road back home.
These days, Grandma Yao and Grandma Zhou took turns helping Lin Luo take care of the vegetables in the fields and clean the yard, so at first glance, there was no difference from before they left.
But the two people did not go into the house. Although Lin Luo did not lock the door, Xiao Hei's fierce look made them dare not take a step forward.
Usually when Lin Luo or Yun Shu are at home, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai will not be like this. Once they leave, the two of them become the guardians of this home.
According to Zhou Guangzong's observation, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai are incredibly smart. Xiao Hei goes up the mountain to hunt every day and shares his food with Xiao Bai.
When it goes up the mountain, Xiaobai is responsible for guarding the house. Don't be fooled by Xiaobai's small size and "soft and cute" appearance, but when it occasionally shows its claws, you can see that there is the wildness unique to the caracal in this small body, which has not disappeared because of being raised by humans.
Of course, there is much more to it than that. If Xiao Hei gets dirty after hunting, he will wash and dry himself before entering the house. There is no need to worry about Lin Luo and Yun Shu making a mess of the house as soon as they leave.
Even when the weather was too cold, he would turn on the air conditioner and take good care of Xiaobai and himself. His survival ability is even better than Zhou Xiang's.
Once, when Grandma Yao was sweeping the yard, she accidentally dropped a key. She didn't notice it herself. As she was about to leave, Xiao Hei suddenly let out a howl, hooked the key with the tip of his claws, jumped lightly in front of Grandma, and raised his right paw, motioning her to take the key.
I don’t know? Is it because Grandma Yao has difficulty walking that she does this?
In a nutshell, during the few days when Lin Luo and Yun Shu were away, Xiao Hei became reliable and responsible, as if he had grown up in an instant.
So when she entered the house and saw Xiao Hei rushing towards her excitedly, she didn't hide away. Instead, she patted its head twice and said, "Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, you've worked hard these past few days. I'll give you a snack tomorrow!"
"Awoo~" Xiao Hei circled around Lin Luo three times, then ran to Yun Shu and circled around him again. It seemed that he missed Yun Shu a lot these days.
"Well, good job!"
Yun Shu also praised Xiao Hei, which was a rare compliment from him.
As expected, Xiao Hei became even more proud after understanding these words. He immediately started to howl several times, until Xiao Bai meowed impatiently. Then he stopped this behavior and turned around to continue circling.
It seems like it's going to confuse you all.
Lin Luo and Yun Shu were exhausted after the journey, so they stopped teasing Xiao Hei and went back to their rooms to wash up, intending to rest early.
Lin Luo was like this: soaking in the bath while pondering what gift to give Yun Shu for New Year's Day. He'd thought he'd had plenty of time, but it was suddenly disrupted. It was probably no different from those elementary school students who left their winter vacation homework until the last few days.
Yun Shu, who returned to the room, took out a small recorder from his pocket with a serious face. It was Shen Tingyun who took the opportunity to stuff it into his pocket when he left the capital base in the morning. The action was very covert and no one should know about it except the two of them.
To pass on information this way, it was obvious that it was going to be very covert, something that hadn't been shared with Lin Luo or the base beforehand. Generally speaking, many people would probably choose to listen to the message first and then judge its authenticity.
If you can say it, say it. If you can't say it, pretend it never happened.
But Yun Shu was not an ordinary person. The reason why he did not tell Lin Luo about this and listen to the recording immediately was, firstly, he had not had the chance along the way, and secondly... he wanted Lin Luo to have a good rest first.
Anyway, no matter how urgent the matter is, it is not as important as Lolo's rest!
Yun Shu, feeling at ease, put the recorder on the bedside table and began to think about what dishes to cook tomorrow. Luo Luo has been so busy these days and must have some nourishment.
As for the New Year's gift? He prepared it half a month ago?!
Fortunately, Shen Tingyun didn’t know what happened here, otherwise he might have vomited blood and died!
On the first day of the new year, Lin Luo got up a little late.
He was obviously not very tired, but lying on the familiar bed and surrounded by his own scent made Lin Luo relax and accidentally overslept.
By the time she came downstairs, it was almost ten o'clock!
Xiao Hei was nowhere to be seen in the living room, and Xiao Bai had his eyes open as if in a daze. When he saw Lin Luo coming down, he just wagged his tail lazily. This was his way of saying hello. Compared to when he was a child and would actively rub against people, Xiao Bai has become more and more lazy as he grows up.
But it doesn’t matter. Lin Luo doesn’t need a diligent partner. She took the initiative to pick up Xiaobai and smooth its fur while waiting for Yunshu to come back.
That’s right, Yun Shu is not there either, but Lin Luo has already sensed his presence and estimates that he will be home in another minute.
"Lolo!" As soon as the thought came to his mind, Yun Shu walked into the house in the cool breeze, "The village chief asked me to get something!" It took less than three minutes, and unexpectedly, it was exactly the time for Lin Luo to go downstairs.
Yun Shu was just about to ask Lin Luo to eat something to fill his stomach, but Lin Luo stood up and walked in front of him, blocking his words, "No rush, first give Yun Xiaoshu this year's New Year's gift!"
She was a person without romantic feelings. After thinking for a long time, she finally stayed up late to knit another dark camel-colored scarf for Yunshu. With the experience of the first time, she was much faster in knitting the second scarf.
This way, there are exactly two pairs to alternate, and Yunshu doesn't have to worry every day about what to do if she washes this pair and then has nothing to wear.
Obviously, with his physique, he is not afraid of the cold at all, but he likes to wear a scarf like Hong Hu. Lin Luo has already thought that she must "order" Yun Shu to put down the scarf when the weather is not so cold. Otherwise, she is really afraid of seeing a weirdo wearing a scarf in spring or even summer!
Yun Shu was very happy. In fact, he would be very happy no matter what Lin Luo gave him, but he would be even happier if it was made by himself!
The next second, Lin Luo also received a gift from Yun Shu, which was also a wooden sculpture, but this time there were two figures appearing at the same time.
One is a Q version of Lin Luo, and the other is a Q version of Yun Shu, but it is just Yun Shu in the savage state. The scene depicted in the wood carving is exactly the scene when Lin Luo went up the mountain and extended his hand to invite Yun Shu to live with him. It is obviously a cartoon image, but Lin Luo can see the feeling of "angel" in the Q version of himself.
Compared to his own gift, it was obvious that a lot of thought had gone into Yun Shu's gift, which made Lin Luo even want to give her another one!
Yun Shu seemed to see what Lin Luo was thinking and hugged the scarf tightly, "I like this gift very much! I really like it!" She emphasized!
"I'm not stealing your things!" Lin Luo laughed. Yun Shu looked like she was going to rob you. What was going on? Even if she wanted to give it again, she wouldn't take back what she had already given away.
After solemnly putting away this thoughtful gift, Lin Luo casually drank a small bowl of pumpkin porridge. It was almost time for lunch, and she had to save her stomach for Yun Shu to show off her cooking skills.
But before that, Yun Shu took out the recorder and planned to listen to it with Lin Luo before cooking.
"...I haven't heard what they said yet. Luoluo, do you want to check it out first? I checked it and didn't find any problems."
Yun Shu told Lin Luo the origin of the recorder in detail, and finally put it on the table in front of Lin Luo. She really wanted her to check it to see if there was any problem.
After all, the missing Shen Luoyun also has psychic abilities, so he might have done something shady at any time.
Lin Luo: "No problem, listen."
A male voice soon came from the recorder, which was slightly different from Shen Tingyun's. I don't know if it was because of the recording, or...this is really not what Shen Tingyun said.
Because this recording does not contain any other content, it only talks about a few points on how people with physical abilities can practice more effectively, how to upgrade faster and what points they need to pay attention to.
It sounds like they understand it in more detail than Lin Luo and the base, and it seems... feasible?
"This thing..." Lin Luo paused for a second, and Yun Shu quickly took over her words.
"It should be given by Shen Luoyun."
Why would he give this to Yunshu? It couldn't be that he suddenly realized he needed to make up for the fatherly love he had been missing for so many years, right?
