At seven o'clock in the morning, Lin Luo went to the town and bought a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, filling the trunk, back seat and passenger seat of the car.
At eleven o'clock, I had a normal lunch with Yunshu.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the Zhou family came over.
Grandma Zhou's health had improved a little, and she was brought here in a wheelchair pushed by Aunt Lan.
Zhou Yaozu and Zhou Xiang were carrying large and small bags, which contained various ingredients.
Xiao Meng walked in front holding Tangyuan's hand.
"My brother will come over later. I don't know what he's busy with." Zhou Yaozu explained, "Don't worry, he will definitely come since he agreed." Afraid that Lin Luo would think too much, he quickly added.
Of course Lin Luo smiled and said it was okay.
Aunt Lan sat down and settled her mother-in-law down. Just as she was about to get up to help, Lin Luo pushed her down and made her sit down again. "It's still early, Aunt Lan."
There were less than ten people in total, and it was only one o'clock, so it was still early. Zhou Yaozu was worried that the two young people would be too busy, so he urged Aunt Lan to come over after dinner.
"Yunshu cooks quickly. Let's sit down and watch TV for a while. I'll go call Grandma Yao."
Lin Luo stood up and was about to leave when Xiao Hei, who was carrying Xiao Bai for a walk after dinner, came in with leisurely steps.
This morning, Lin Luo specifically told Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai to just play nearby all day and not to run too far.
Xiaobai had no problem of course, but Xiaohei was not too keen on running outside in such hot weather, and he just took a few laps in the backyard at noon.
“Wow!”
Zhou Xiang was the first to spot Xiao Hei, "Is this a wolfdog?"
Zhou Yaozu tilted his head to take a closer look. "W-W-W-Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lin Luo: "It's a wolf. Xiao Hei is the little friend that Yun Shu and I raised."
"Wolf!" Lan Yueyin and Zhou Yaozu expressed surprise in unison.
Zhou Xiang followed up with another, "Cool!"
He even put down his phone and wanted to take a closer look at Xiao Hei, but Aunt Lan grabbed his clothes and said, "Don't, don't..." At the same time, she put her other hand around Zhou Mengjie.
No matter how obedient you look at it, it's still a wolf!
It's a beast!
Lin Luo walked closer to Xiao Hei, "Xiao Hei is very smart and well-behaved."
She half squatted down and touched Xiao Hei's head. Xiao Hei not only did not resist but also rubbed it actively. He looked very well behaved. "Xiao Hei, you and Xiao Bai go to the third floor to play."
Normally, except for Xiaobai, Xiaohei rarely goes to the third floor, but looking at the expressions of Zhou Yaozu and Lan Yueyin, you can tell that they can't accept it for a while.
Lin Luo was too lazy to explain anything. They wouldn't live together in the future anyway. They would know after they got to know each other better. No matter how much he explained now, no one would probably believe it.
Xiao Hei also didn't want to stay with strangers for long. Just as he was about to go up to the third floor, a large white mass suddenly rushed over.
"sweet dumpling!"
The silly-looking Samoyed was actually very curious about Xiao Hei. It rushed to the dog with a typical angelic smile, and the white fur on its body trembled.
Xiao Hei had never seen such an animal before. Its color was very similar to Xiao Bai's, which made it wow with curiosity. Even Xiao Bai, who had spread the glutinous rice balls into a white pancake, stood up and looked at the glutinous rice balls a few times.
It was only then that the Zhou family discovered that there was a "cat" on the wolf's back!
We were just scared by a wolf, but no one noticed.
"Woof!" Tangyuan barked at Xiaobai, as if saying hello.
Xiaobai paused for a moment, then stood on Xiaohei's back, straightened his upper body, stretched out his right paw... and patted Tangyuan's head.
There's nothing we can do. This guy is squatting there with a silly look on his face, looking like he deserves to be patted on the head.
"Hahaha, so cool, this cat is so cute!" Zhou Mengjie was still being hugged by Aunt Lan, but she had been observing Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai. She laughed out loud when she saw this scene.
Instead, Xiao Hei looked at Tang Yuan with eyes that seemed to reveal something. He shook his head and, without caring about his curiosity, rushed to the third floor with Xiao Bai.
Tangyuan certainly didn't want to leave his new friend so soon, and wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Zhou Mengjie.
She was not afraid of Xiaobai, but was a little afraid of Xiaohei, who looked very powerful, and was even more afraid that Tangyuan would be hurt.
Lin Luo watched the entire process without expressing any opinion. He asked Yun Shu to keep an eye on it before going out to look for Grandma Yao.
"Xiaoyun."
Zhou Yaozu thought about it but still spoke with concern, "Where did this wolf come from? How long have you raised it?"
Yun Shu: "A big wolf brought it here, more than half a year ago."
Zhou Yaozu: "Isn't it dangerous to raise a wolf? After all, it's an animal, a wild beast..." He originally wanted to say 'beast', but when he thought about how Lin Luo and Yun Shu must have developed feelings for them, he quickly changed the word.
Yun Shu was puzzled. "Danger? No, Xiao Hei can't beat us."
Zhou Yaozu: "..." He didn't think too much about the "we" Yunshu mentioned, and just thought it was Yunshu. Looking at his body shape and size, what he said was somewhat believable.
But Lin Luo was different. She was so fragile. If she was bitten by a wolf, she would...
Is Zhou Yaozu determined to do it again? Find a chance to talk to Lin Luo.
However, Lan Yueyin, who was listening to the conversation between the two, had a hint of contemplation in her eyes. She was a sensitive person. Although she was very scared about what happened just now, she did not miss the opportunity to observe the expressions of others.
Lin Luo... doesn't look like an ordinary girl.
I’m afraid that Lao Zhou’s niece is not as simple as Lao Zhou thinks.
"Hey, Yaozu, it's been a long time since we last met."
"This must be Yaozu's wife, so beautiful!"
Grandma Yao and Lin Luo were both holding things in their hands, which were the vegetables and eggs that Grandma insisted on bringing.
"Grandma, you are still in good health!" Zhou Yaozu stood up with a smile and went with Yunshu to take the things in the hands of the two.
Although he didn't have much contact with Grandma Yao, they were half acquaintances in the small village and knew something about Grandma Yao's family.
"Axiang, Xiaomeng, come and call grandma."
"Dad! I told you not to call me Axiang!" Zhou Xiang's face darkened when he heard this name, but looking at Grandma Yao who was old and had weak legs and feet, he held back his anger and called Xiaomeng by her name obediently.
Grandma Yao couldn't help but smile, and she kept praising the two children, praising them as if they were the best in the world. She even praised Zhou Xiang for his purple hair that he had just dyed during the summer vacation, saying that young people are just different.
The atmosphere immediately became lively. Lin Luo, who was not good at dealing with guests, breathed a sigh of relief and acted as a successful guest companion, only saying a few words when he was mentioned occasionally.
She looks exactly like Yunshu next to her.
Almost? At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Guangzong arrived.
But the moment he stepped through the door, a hint of heaviness could be seen on his face.
Zhou Yaozu laughed, "Brother, why are you still looking so stern when you come to eat? You're going to scare Xiaomeng to tears again!"
"Dad!" Xiao Meng opened her eyes wide in dissatisfaction, then glanced at Zhou Guangzong quietly.
She was indeed somewhat afraid of this uncle. She had been frightened to tears countless times when she was a child.
Zhou Guangzong glared at his younger brother, and then was glared at by his mother. He could only touch his nose to try to relax his tense nerves, but unfortunately he failed.
Now all the people who were coming to dinner tonight were here. Seeing that it was almost time, Lin Luo and Yun Shu asked everyone to make themselves at home and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Lan Yueyin also wanted to come in, but was persuaded by Lin Luo to go back. The kitchen was not big to begin with, and there were a lot of things put in it. If Yun Shu, such a big guy, came in, the two of them would seem a bit crowded.
Seeing how skilled Lin Luo and Yun Shu were, Lan Yueyin felt that she really couldn't help much and was a bit disturbing. She stood there for a while and finally left the kitchen. However, she also took out a basket of unprocessed edamame and helped them peel some.
Lin Luo was also peeling something. Her eyes were fixed on the thing in her hand, but the smile on her face was gone.
Yun Shu was chopping pork ribs, one piece at a time, cleanly and neatly, but his eyes would occasionally glance at Lin Luo.
——I always feel that Lolo is a little absent-minded today.
I've actually had this feeling since yesterday.
Last night, Lin Luo stood in the yard for half an hour doing nothing, which was very unusual. Her expression at that time? ...seemed to be indescribable indifference and a hint of nostalgia?
Thinking about tonight's dinner...it's a bit strange.
Lin Luo is not a hospitable person, so it is rare for him to take the initiative to invite so many people to his home.
Thinking about her previous series of unusual behaviors, Yun Shu had a premonition that something big would happen tonight.
And it’s a big, big deal!
——No matter what, I will definitely protect Lolo.
Yun Shu collected his thoughts and focused his attention back on the dish in his hand.
Soon, the faint aroma of food wafted from the kitchen to the living room.
"It smells so good! Brother Yun's cooking skills seem pretty good!" Zhou Xiang had no interest in the adults' chat and was the first person to smell the aroma of the food.
He was still muttering in his heart, seeing Yun Shu looking so tall and mighty, he didn't expect that he had such a skill. Is it possible that such men are popular these days?
As someone who had witnessed Yunshu's craftsmanship, Granny Yao had the most say. She praised Yunshu profusely, from her character to her looks to her craftsmanship, concluding with, "Any girl who gets to marry Yunshu will be truly blessed!"
"Hahaha." Zhou Yaozu and Lan Yueyin laughed at the same time, but Zhou Guangzong, who had been silent just now, suddenly spoke.
"Grandma, where is Yunshu from? I can't tell from her accent."
Grandma Yao was stunned for a moment. Yun Shu spoke standard Mandarin, without an accent. "I don't know. Since he's Luo Yatou's cousin, he must be from over there."
She had never asked Lin Luo such a small question, but she didn't expect that Zhou Guangzong, who seemed to be indifferent to trivial matters, would care about it.
Zhou Guangzong didn't get an answer, and seeing that Lin Luo and Yun Shu didn't seem to be coming out for a while, he turned to look at Zhou Yaozu, "Why did you think of having dinner here today? I thought we were going to your house."
Indeed, given Zhou Yaozu's personality, he would not do such a thing.
Zhou Yaozu smiled. "Why, you're still picking the place? Let me tell you, Yunshu can hold his liquor pretty well. Just wait and see if he gets drunk!"
Seeing that his brother didn't understand his worries at all, Zhou Guangzong cursed in his heart again!
Although he has retired, he still has many friends working for the country, and some of them hold high positions.
Just a while ago, friends one after another mysteriously asked me to prepare more food at home and not to go out on the 31st.
One of them even asked him to go back to the capital, but Zhou Guangzong refused. When he wanted to ask further, the other party seriously said that no more information could be disclosed.
Now, on this very day, Lin Luo suddenly called everyone to have dinner together, why didn’t he let Zhou Guangzong join in? Think about it!
It's not like he can't see that Lin Luo isn't the type to be easily manipulated, but...
Looking at his mother and others who were smiling happily, Zhou Guangzong still didn't say anything. He just touched his waist with his fingers barely noticeable, and there... was something there.
At half past six in the evening, it was already getting dark outside. The few street lights in the village began to light up, and Lin Luo's house was at its busiest.
"Wow, so many delicious things!"
"Woof!"
"Xiao Yun's cooking skills are incredible!"
There were more than a dozen dishes on the big round table. Looking at the clearly and finely cut spicy and sour potato shreds in front of her, even Lan Yueyin couldn't help but praise them. Not to mention the taste, the color and aroma alone were very good.
Especially his knife skills, they are much better than hers!
Everyone was not strangers, so there were no such things to be particular about. Those who drank sat on one side, and those who drank beverages sat on the other side. For example, Aunt Lan brought some easy-to-digest and easy-to-chew dishes to Grandma Zhou.
"Come on, Yunshu, do you want some red or white?"
"Uncle Zhou, no, no, today I..." Yun Shu waved his hands repeatedly. There was something wrong with Luo Luo today, and he couldn't get drunk.
But Zhou Yaozu obviously wanted to get drunk before going home, until Zhou Guangzong spoke up.
"Yaozu, you're still drinking with your blood pressure?! Didn't the doctor tell you to stop drinking?"
Zhou Yaozu naturally restrained himself a bit when facing his elder brother. "That's not my mood today, okay?"
His words made Zhou Guangzong roll his eyes. "Are you in a bad mood one day? What will happen if you skip a drink? I won't be able to carry you later!"
That's right, today they were at Lin Luo's house. If all three men were drunk, it would be impossible to deal with the situation. Zhou Yaozu could only suppress his urge to drink and stretched his chopsticks towards the dish closest to him - stir-fried beef.
With the next chopstick, the beef entered his mouth. Even Zhou Yaozu, who has eaten many delicious foods and even many famous private chefs, had to say that the beef was cooked to just the right degree!
It's not too tough to chew, nor too raw, and has a hint of blood. The taste is just right. One point more? Too salty. One point less? Too bland.
Even the uniform thickness of the beef slices was praised by Zhou Yaozu!
"Did Xiaoyun really do this?"
Zhou Yaozu thought he had spoken his true feelings, but he didn't expect it to be Lan Yueyin. She just picked up a piece of sea cucumber from the stir-fried sea cucumber with green onions with chopsticks, and she didn't expect it to be so to her taste.
"It's delicious! Much better than what my mom makes!"
Zhou Xiang was eating egg yolk chicken wings. "Brother Yun, if you open a restaurant with your cooking skills, it will be packed every day!"
"Yes, yes, I will definitely go there to eat every day!" Zhou Mengjie rarely agreed with her brother's idea. This cheese baked shrimp is also great.
For a moment, everyone at the table was praising Yunshu.
Zhou Guangzong, unconvinced, picked up a dish of stir-fried lotus root slices. This kind of dish is not easy to stand out, after all, the taste is very light.
But when the lotus root slices entered his mouth, Zhou Guangzong knew that this was not just stir-fried. The refreshing taste and salty and fresh taste of the lotus root slices were perfectly blended together. Such a dish in summer is so appetizing!
Where did this little chef come from?
Zhou Guangzong, who originally wanted to be careful and eat less, couldn't resist his appetite.
We ate and talked, and although we didn't drink, it was almost nine o'clock when we finished the meal.
"It's still early, let's go rest on the sofa for a while."
Lin Luo used his mental strength in his words, and he really didn't feel like moving after eating, so even Zhou Guangzong didn't say anything against it.
After spending more than twenty minutes packing up his things, Lin Luo looked at the time again. It was 9:15.
"Lolo?"
After sitting in the living room and resting for a while, Yun Shu saw Lin Luo suddenly stand up and walk out. She was always paying attention to her movements and immediately called her.
"I'm going to the yard to digest the food." Lin Luo turned around and smiled.
"I'm going too!" Yun Shu wanted to go with them, but was suddenly stopped by Zhou Xiang, who asked him to rest for a while.
The chef has been busy for most of the day and has worked hard.
"Yes, yes, Xiaoyun, you should take a rest. Luo girl is already a grown-up."
"Hahaha, this is out of concern for Luo girl."
The elders' teasing didn't change Lin Luo's expression. She continued to smile, "I'm in the yard, not far away. Yunshu, you can continue to rest for a while."
Looking at Lin Luo like this, Yun Shu suppressed his somewhat restless heart and did not follow him.
This reaction made everyone laugh in a good-natured way.
Lin Luo walked out of the house, step by step, at a slow but steady pace, and stood in the middle of the yard. Her back could just be seen through the glass window of the living room.
Lin Luo's eyes trembled slightly as he stood still. A silent and invisible force suddenly enveloped the entire Xiaowu Mountain, including Lin Luo's house and Grandma Yao's house next to it.
This is the maximum range of mental power she can activate.
It is also the strongest restriction. In order to isolate the most severe pollution at the beginning to the greatest extent, no one can walk out of this mental shield now.
Lin Luo, who had almost exhausted all his strength, inevitably looked pale, but it was not obvious in the darkness.
At this time, the time is 9:31 pm?
The moment the cover appeared, Yun Shu and Zhou Guangzong, who were sitting in the room, felt their hearts skip a beat at the same time, as if something was about to happen.
The two men's spirits tensed up at the same time, their eyes met at some point, and after a few thoughts flashed through their minds, they stood up at the same time.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Yaozu was startled by the sudden action of standing up.
"Let's go to the yard to digest the food!" they both said in unison.
Zhou Yaozu: "...Ah, okay."
Just go, why make it so nervous and scary?
Without receiving Zhou Yaozu's complaints, Yun Shu and Zhou Guangzong saw Lin Luo who seemed to be looking at the distant scenery as soon as they went out.
"You guys are out."
Lin Luo didn't look back, but seemed to have known who was coming.
"Lolo."
"Girl Luo!"
"Shh." Lin Luo turned his head and placed his right index finger on his pale lips. "Look, a shooting star!"
Her expression was hidden in the dim yellow light and could not be seen clearly, but as Lin Luo looked over, he saw a long meteor streak across the dim sky, which seemed to be able to tear through the sky.
It seems like a signal!
July 31st 21:36?
The end of the world is coming!
The author has something to say: Well, it has been written, right?
