At this moment, in the neighbor's house in the backyard of the Lin family.
Grandpa Lin was sitting in the courtyard enjoying the cool air, fanning himself with a palm leaf fan.
"Old man, you're just meddling in other people's business today. You stopped being the Party Secretary a long time ago, and you're still putting on airs!"
Granny Wei glared at him, then pulled up a rattan chair and sat down next to him.
She only found out what had happened when she returned from the sweet potato field today.
What Wei Er's wife did was dishonest, but she was still a member of the same family.
She secretly wanted to protect him.
Moreover, she and Mrs. Lin had a falling out when she was young, and now they are completely estranged.
The thing I'm most proud of in my life is marrying the village secretary. Every time she goes back to her parents' home, everyone treats her with respect.
"The Wei family has come knocking on our door, am I just supposed to stand by and watch?"
"Don't be unconvinced. Your Wei family is good in every way, except for Wei Er's family, who has too many tricks up his sleeve."
"If Li Zhaodi could come to our door, couldn't it be because she instigated it?" Old Master Lin knew perfectly well what was going on.
His wife had ulterior motives in this matter, which he saw through but didn't say.
After getting married, Mr. Lin turned a blind eye and became somewhat confused.
My husband poured his heart out to her family, but what did he get in return?
During the famine, when I went back to my parents' home, I couldn't even bring back a sweet potato.
They survived only thanks to the Lin family's potatoes.
"Okay, stop looking at me like that."
"Think back to those days of famine. As a human being, you should admit what you're supposed to do. The clansmen in the ancestral hall are watching. If I don't act this time, I'll be resented." Grandpa Lin said quietly with his eyes closed.
What he didn't say was that the Lin family's granddaughter was a good person. Look at the neighboring families and the villagers; their lives are getting better day by day, and isn't that all thanks to the Lin family?
Grandpa Lin understood perfectly well, but he was too lazy to explain it to his wife, figuring she probably wouldn't listen anyway.
…
The next morning.
Lin Ziyan got up to wash her face with dark circles under her eyes, her eyes were extremely dry.
She returned to her room, looked at the half-finished model, and felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Today, she's going to put all the shrimp larvae into the shrimp pond to oversee the process and also to confirm the shrimp feed for the week.
When Lin Ziyan and Fatty arrived at the shrimp farm, a crowd had gathered outside.
As they were wondering what was going on, they squeezed in and saw Uncle Chen and the others already standing there waiting.
"Uncle Chen, what's going on here?" Lin Ziyan looked at the others suspiciously.
"We've come to learn, and we'll take the shrimp seedlings back later." Uncle Chen was a little embarrassed, his cheeks slightly flushed.
I don't know if it was sunburned or if it suddenly turned red.
The chubby girl pursed her lips, looked at her father, and sighed.
"Alright, let's start by releasing the shrimp larvae. The number of larvae needed varies depending on the size of the pond, and we also need to..."
Lin Ziyan and the chubby girl put the shrimp larvae into the pond while talking.
She tried to speak slowly so they could hear her more clearly.
Actually, she had written all of this down in her notebook; she was just going through the process again.
After she put all the shrimp larvae into the pond, she checked the temperature of the pond and added water to cool it down as needed.
"Shrimp larvae are at their weakest during this stage, so they need to be fed high-protein feed..."
Lin Ziyan wrote down several types of shrimp feed on the board and even marked the dates.
"The condition of the shrimp larvae is different at each stage, and the feed they are given is also different..."
Uncle Chen and the other partners listened attentively.
They all had pens and notebooks in their hands, taking notes. Having experienced shrimp plague, no one dared to ignore scientific farming.
Lin Ziyan was very patient and answered all their questions carefully.
Finally, she went with Uncle Chen to their shrimp farm, where he personally provided guidance and offered some suggestions.
By the time she got home, it was already noon.
Lin Ziyan still remembered what Grandpa Lin had told her yesterday: to wait at the ancestral hall after noon.
Wei Er's family had to go to the ancestral hall to apologize in public.
She quickly ate lunch and entered the ancestral hall just in time.
Wei Sheng knelt in the middle of the ancestral hall, his hands wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, his face pale.
The clan head of the Wei family ancestral hall and Uncle Lin were sitting in the main seats, reprimanding the family.
Wei Er stood to the side with his head drooping, occasionally chiming in with a few words.
"Ayan, come here." Grandpa Lin beckoned to her.
"Asheng, apologize now!" Wei Yi, the head of the Wei family, was furious.
He has never lost face like this as the clan leader.
"I...I'm sorry," Wei Sheng stammered.
Then he lowered his head, his face turning bright red.
Lin Ziyan looked at him expressionlessly and responded with a sound.
After saying some nice things, Wei Er pulled Wei Sheng away from the ancestral hall.
And that was the end of the farce.
Lin Ziyan returned home and breathed a sigh of relief.
She had planned to take a nap and then visit the shrimp farm in the afternoon, but seeing the models on the table made her hands itch to try them out.
Jiaojiao had already climbed into her bed and fallen asleep, her cheeks rosy and her breathing even.
Lin Ziyan pinched her cheek before sitting back down at the table to continue assembling.
She used to not understand how someone could become so addicted to building Lego that they would even stop eating.
Now she understands; watching the model assemble is so rewarding, she just can't stop.
When her second sister, Xiaoxiao, came home from school, Lin Ziyan had just finished piecing together the last piece.
A complete model of a cargo ship is displayed on the table.
"Sis, it looks so good!"
"Are there really cargo ships like that?" Xiaoxiao threw down her schoolbag and ran in, her eyes shining as she looked at the cargo ship.
"Of course, this is a scaled-down replica, it's just that we don't have it in China yet." Lin Ziyan took the instruction manual and looked at it carefully, her eyes lighting up.
It can be taken into the water?
She carefully read the English instruction manual, and the more she read, the more alarmed she became.
This is a complete replica of the latest cargo ship, no wonder it's so expensive.
Moreover, it even has a small engine, which uses diesel.
"I wish we could go into the water," said Xiaoxiao, the second sister, with regret.
Living by the sea, the first mode of transportation they encountered was a boat.
I have a special feeling for ships.
"Do you have diesel fuel at home?" Lin Ziyan asked excitedly.
She wanted to try it out and see if she could actually work with this model.
There happened to be a large pool in the yard, so we could fill it with water and start operating.
"Yes, it's in a bucket behind the kitchen," Xiaoxiao replied casually.
She reached out and touched the top of the model; the cockpit was very realistic, and even the steering wheel could be turned.
Lin Ziyan finished installing the last piece of starting equipment and left the room.
She first filled the pool with water, then took the diesel fuel and carefully poured it into the model's fuel tank.
"Sister, you're not really planning to put it in the water, are you?" Xiaoxiao, the second sister, asked from behind her.
After Lin Ziyan put the diesel fuel into the fuel tank, she said, "Let's try operating the cargo ship."
Xiaoxiao, the second sister, swallowed hard. Could it really be true?
They assembled a ship...
"Sister, wow! Great! Beautiful boat..." Jiaojiao woke up at some point, climbed out of bed, and looked at them.
Lin Ziyan checked the instruction manual again to make sure everything was ready before carrying the model out.
She put the boat in the water, and it floated up, drifting on the water, and balancing perfectly.
"It's about to begin..." Xiaoxiao squatted by the pool, staring at the boat...
