Coming out of the study, Su Ling came to the backyard.
Aunt Zhang kept the backyard very clean. She cleared a stone-paved path. On each side of the path was a ten-square-meter vegetable plot, bare and with no crops planted yet.
Su Ling's task today was very simple, which was to loosen the soil in the vegetable field with a hoe.
It is not appropriate to accept vegetables sent by Aunt Zhang every day. Since I have my own land, I might as well grow some vegetables. It will not only solve the problem once and for all, but also be good for my health.
The vegetable garden was cleared of weeds and the soil was loose. Su Ling only needed to use a three-tooth hoe to turn the soil to make it more suitable for planting.
Before starting work, Su Ling watched a tutorial online and consulted Aunt Zhang. Although he mastered the theory, he felt a little overwhelmed with the actual operation. However, no matter what, he worked hard for twenty minutes and finally turned over half of the soil.
He stopped moving, stood up, and twisted his aching waist.
I didn’t expect that doing farm work is more tiring than working out!
Repeating the same action over and over again is a great test of one's waist and arm strength.
Leaning on the hoe, Su Ling looked at the watch on his left wrist. It was eleven o'clock, noon, and he decided to eat first.
Taking off his work gloves, he walked to the well, turned the bucket upside down, and threw it in with force. When it was full, he slowly shook it up and placed it at the edge of the well.
He put his red and numb palms into the clear water, feeling cool and refreshing. He let out a soft sigh, bent down and splashed some water on his face. His bangs got wet and became even curlier. He shook his head nonchalantly, and small water droplets splashed, sparkling in the sunlight.
Back in the kitchen, Su Ling took out a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, unscrewed the lid, and drank it "gulp, gulp".
Today's kitchens are dramatically transformed. The floor is covered with fireproof, waterproof, and wear-resistant flooring. Along the wall are a double-door refrigerator, a sterilizing cabinet, a microwave, an oven, a sink, a dishwasher, a range hood, and a long counter. With the addition of an electric rice cooker and an induction cooktop, the once-cleaned earthen stove sits lonely in the corner, unused.
After drinking the mineral water and quenching his thirst, Su Ling found spinach, broccoli, lamb, shrimp, meatballs and other ingredients in the refrigerator and placed them on the kitchen counter. He tied on a tacky plaid apron, stood in front of the sink, and washed the vegetables in an orderly manner.
It’s easy to eat alone, just cook a hotpot.
People's adaptability is indeed strong. Ten days ago, he was a young man who had never done housework, but now he can wash vegetables and cook rice skillfully.
Half an hour later, Su Ling was sitting alone at the octagonal table in the restaurant eating hot pot.
The pot on the induction cooker was steaming, the red soup bubbling, and beef and fish balls kept popping out with the boiling broth. Su Ling picked up a piece of mutton, dipped it into the broth, and when it was cooked, he took it out, dipped it in the sauce, blew on it, and put it in his mouth.
hiss--
Spicy and fresh!
tasty.
When he picked up the second piece of mutton, Li Dahai's loud voice was heard outside the yard.
"Brother Su, are you home?"
Su Ling turned down the power of the induction cooker, put down his chopsticks, and walked out of the room. He saw Li Dahai running in happily with a little thing in his arms.
"Puppy?" Su Ling looked at the little thing in his arms in surprise.
Li Dahai came up to him and held up the puppy like a treasure. "Didn't Brother Su say he wanted to get a dog to guard the house? Uncle Zhang's puppy next door is just one month old, so I'll take one home."
The little puppy opened its big round eyes and looked around curiously. Su Ling stretched out his slender fingers and carefully poked its soft belly. It immediately made a baby "woof woof" sound.
"Does it have a name?" Su Ling was so touched by the cuteness that his expression softened.
"No, Brother Su can get one for it." Li Dahai put the puppy on the carpet in the hall. The little puppy suddenly came to a strange place, with a timid look on its face. It lay softly on the ground, with its tail raised and wagging.
Su Ling squatted down and reached out to scratch the puppy's chin.
This is a small white dog with a small tuft of golden hair on its head. It looks very cute. When its chin is scratched, it makes a soft sound of comfort and sticks out its pink tongue, trying to lick Su Ling.
Su Ling raised his finger as if to tease it, and the little puppy barked and turned its head along with his finger.
"Call it King!"
With a little crown on his head, he should be the king. Su Ling decided happily.
"Ken? Kai?" Li Dahai didn't learn English well in junior high school, so he didn't understand what it meant.
"King, you can also call it Xiao Jin." Su Ling touched the little dog's head, "What does it eat?"
Li Dahai shook his head. "I don't know. I've seen Uncle Zhang feed his dog leftovers."
"Leftovers are not allowed." Although Su Ling had never raised a dog, he knew that dogs cannot consume large amounts of salt. "I'll check it online later."
The puppy might be hungry, so he raised his nose to look for food. When he smelled something delicious, he spread his legs and ran to the restaurant.
Li Dahai had already smelled the aroma of food and asked while licking his lips, "Is Brother Su having lunch?"
"I'm eating hot pot. Have you eaten it yet?" Su Ling followed the puppy into the restaurant.
"I've eaten." Li Dahai saw the hot pot on the table and smelled the aroma of mutton, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
Su Ling noticed his greedy look and said with a smile, "There's too much food. I can't finish it all by myself. It would be a pity to throw it away. Can you help me share some of it?"
Li Dahai blinked his bright eyes, unable to resist the temptation of food, and nodded shyly.
Su Ling went to the kitchen to get him a bowl and chopsticks. The puppy was anxiously biting Li Dahai's trouser legs under the table, and Li Dahai shook his head at it.
"No, you can't eat this."
"Woof! Woo~" The little puppy lay on the ground pitifully, revealing its white and tender belly.
Li Dahai looked at Su Ling for help. Su Ling said, "Let's eat first. We'll send it to the mother dog to feed it some milk, and then take it to the pet store in town to buy some things."
Since you have raised a puppy, you naturally have to be responsible for it. You must provide it with dog food, dog house, dog toys, etc.
He wanted to keep a pet before, but gave up because of Lin Feng’s hair allergy. Now that he is alone, he can keep a pet without any worries.

S City, Lin's Private Hospital Senior Ward——
"Do you still consider me your mother? You kept the news secret so well! If Dr. Liu hadn't called me, I wouldn't have known that you were seriously injured in a car accident abroad!" The well-maintained lady sat in the chair in front of the bed, her face full of blame.
Lin Feng sat back with his left arm bandaged and hanging in front of his chest. He held his phone in his right hand, swiping the screen with his thumb, seemingly oblivious to what she said.
"...Are you listening to me?" Rong Siqiu stared at his son speechlessly.
"Yeah." Lin Feng responded casually, his attention still on the phone.
Rong Siqiu pinched her brows in pain, feeling helpless about her taciturn son. She winked at her husband beside her, asking him to speak.
Lin Lihong received his wife's suggestive look, cleared his throat, and said seriously: "I heard that you invested in a biological research institute abroad?"
Finally, this topic successfully attracted Lin Feng's attention. He put down his phone and looked at his father. "Yes."
After receiving a positive answer, Lin Lihong frowned and asked, "What does this biological research institute mainly research?"
Lin Feng expressionlessly blurted out two infuriating words: "Secret."
Lin Lihong almost couldn't breathe.
Rong Siqiu reached out and patted her husband on the back twice to help him calm down. Her son was precocious and had always been very frugal with words. Apart from talking more to Su Ling, it was almost impossible for him to say more to others.
Thinking of Su Ling, Rong Siqiu asked curiously, "Where is Su Ling? How come we haven't seen him in over half an hour?"
Lin Feng said calmly, "He went traveling."
"Travel?" Rong Siqiu couldn't help but raise her voice. "What's wrong with this kid? Her husband was injured, and not only did he not come to take care of him, but he actually went on a trip?"
"He doesn't know." Lin Feng suddenly raised his head and looked at his mother with cold eyes.
Rong Siqiu was stunned for a moment, then softened his tone, "Why didn't you tell him? When did you go? Was it safe to go alone or with friends?"
Lin Feng withdrew his gaze and typed quickly on the nine-square grid on his phone with his thumb. He used sharp words to ruthlessly reject his subordinate's report.
Seeing his son didn't answer, Lin Lihong tapped the ground with his cane and said sternly, "Call him and tell him to come back immediately."
Rong Siqiu glanced at her husband, took out her phone and said, "I'll call him. This child is simple-minded and can't take care of himself. He's easy to be deceived when he goes out to travel."
Lin Feng did not stop her and let her dial. Not surprisingly, a familiar electronic tone rang from the phone.
"Sorry, the user you dialed is powered off or out of service area."
Rong Siqiu looked puzzled: "Why isn't it in the service area?"
Lin Feng paused while typing and said, "There's no signal in the mountainous area."
Rong Siqiu had no choice but to hang up the phone and looked at his son's bandaged forehead and arms with a look of heartache.
When her son insisted on marrying Su Ling, she was opposed to it. After all, how could a male wife be as considerate as a female one? Furthermore, the Su and Lin families were at odds and firmly opposed the marriage, threatening to sever ties if Su Ling dared to be with Lin Feng. She thought Su Ling would back down, but the child proved stubborn and would rather sever ties with his family to be with Lin Feng.
Although same-sex marriage is legal nowadays, there are still many people in society who look at it with disdain. Rong Siqiu was troubled by her son's love for boys for half a year, but finally came to terms with it. She admired and was happy that Su Ling dared to pursue happiness and resolutely chose Lin Feng.
The two had been married for three years and their relationship was stable. Lin Feng doted on Su Ling so much that, fearing he wouldn't be able to get used to living in the old Lin family house, he spent 100 million yuan to buy a villa in Xiangyan Mountain, where they lived a sweet life together. As a mother, she didn't dare to interfere too much in her son's marriage. When she asked a few more questions, she received a cold look from her son. He truly forgot his mother after getting a wife!
Holding back his anger, Rong Siqiu said, "When Su Ling's phone gets a signal, try to persuade him to come back. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, and it's not easy to move one hand. Having him here will at least give you more care."
Lin Lihong agreed: "Your mother is right."
Lin Feng said: "I have an assistant."
Xu Yunzhuo, who had been a wooden man for half an hour when his name was suddenly called, smiled appropriately and said respectfully, "Master and Madam, please rest assured. I will take good care of Mr. Lin."
Rong Siqiu looked at Xu Yunzhuo and nodded. Lin Feng's two assistants were elites specially trained by the Lin family at great expense. They were extremely capable and talented. With them around, she felt a little relieved.
"We'll go back first. You should take good care of your injuries." She straightened her clothes and stood up gracefully.
Lin Lihong, leaning on a cane, said earnestly to his son lying on the hospital bed, "There's still half a year left...you can figure it out for yourself."
Rong Siqiu frowned, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Lin Feng put down his phone and replied coldly: "I know."
After his parents left, Lin Feng took out a golden cell phone from under his pillow. Without turning it on, he rubbed the phone case repeatedly with his thumb.
This is a custom-made mobile phone case with a picture of two handsome men hugging each other intimately, namely Su Ling and Lin Feng.
Xu Yunzhuo closed the door of the ward and secretly looked at Mr. Lin, especially when he saw the golden mobile phone in his hand, he felt miserable.
This is Mrs. Lin’s cell phone, placed next to the divorce agreement.
The last time he went to the villa with President Lin, he discovered President Lin’s secret. Xu Yunzhuo was very worried, fearing that he would say something wrong one day and be killed by President Lin to silence him.
Just now, the old lady asked about Mrs. Lin, and President Lin said calmly that he was traveling, obviously not wanting his parents to know about his wife's disappearance. However, after all, the truth will eventually come out. If the president's wife cannot be found for a long time, the old lady will definitely become suspicious. I wonder how President Lin will explain it then.
Of course, as the culprit who caused the breakdown of the marriage between Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin, Xu Yunzhuo is now worried every day. In order to make up for his mistake, he tried his best to find Mrs. Lin.
After a week of investigation, I finally got some clues. I came here today to report the situation to General Lin, but the master and the old lady came, so I had to sit there and wait until now.
"Mr. Lin, we have found out where the 10 million went," he said.
Lin Feng paused, put down his phone, and looked at him sharply. "Speak."
Xu Yunzhuo said: "The recipient is the vice president of Fulin Group - Lin Zhou."
The author has something to say: Lin Zhou: A-choo—Who is missing me?
