Almost at the moment the wine was placed on the table, the sound of powerful footsteps of a guard was heard outside the door.
Lin Zhiyue opened the door, pointed at the wine on the ground and said to the guard: "Please move these wines to my grandparents' house first, and then come back and take the barbecue grill and charcoal fire over as well."
The guards acted quickly, picked up the wine boxes, and walked in unison towards Lin Zhiyue's grandparents' home.
While the guards were moving the wine, Lin Zhiyue prepared the barbecue grill and charcoal fire, and waited quietly for them to come back and carry the wine.
After they came, Lin Zhiyue went back to his grandfather's house with them.
Lin Zhiyue was eating the fruit washed by Mrs. Wang.
At this moment, there was a burst of hearty laughter coming from outside the door.
It turned out that Grandpa Mu, Grandma Mu, Grandpa Bai, and Grandma Bai, accompanied by Lin Weidong, were the first to arrive at Grandpa's house.
Before they even stepped through the familiar wooden door, the grandfather's resonant voice could be heard from inside the house: "Granddaughter, you're back! What delicious food are you planning to make tonight?"
When you push open the door, the first thing that catches your eye is the barbecue utensils ready to go all over the yard, and the table next to it is filled with brightly colored ingredients.
Hearing the voice, Lin Zhiyue poked her head out, with a warm smile on her face, and greeted excitedly: "Grandpa Mu, Grandma Mu, Grandpa Bai, Grandma Bai, Grandpa! You came at the right time, let's have a barbecue tonight, I prepared a lot of delicious food!"
Grandpa Mu smiled heartily, strode into the yard, and patted Lin Zhiyue on the shoulder: "Zhiyue is getting more and more capable. I heard that you cook for us, and we old guys can't wait to try it!"
Grandma Mu followed closely behind, holding a basket of home-grown fruits in her hands, and said kindly: "Xiao Yue, these are grown by grandma. They are very sweet. They will help you eat barbecue later."
Grandpa Bai, wearing a pair of reading glasses, nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I can smell the fragrance before I even eat it. It looks like I'm in for a treat tonight!"
Grandma Bai held Lin Zhiyue's hand and said lovingly, "Thank you for your hard work, kid!"
Lin Weidong came in and helped put things in place while joking with a smile: "Yueyue, I heard that you took out all the fine wines you have collected. You have to let us enjoy a feast tonight."
Lin Zhiyue smiled brightly, holding a cup of ginseng wine steadily in both hands, and handed it to her grandfather respectfully, her voice clear and full of concern: "Grandpa, don't worry! I specially prepared a lot of wine this time, and I hope you can drink it to your heart's content tonight. This is the wine I made with ginseng myself, and it took a long time to brew carefully. This wine not only tastes mellow, but also has great benefits for the body. You work hard every day, so drinking some is just right to replenish yourself."
Grandpa took the wine glass with trembling wrinkled hands, took a light sniff, and the mellow aroma of wine instantly lingered around him.
He looked at Lin Zhiyue with great satisfaction, his eyes slightly reddened. He raised his rough palm and gently stroked Lin Zhiyue's head: "Yueyue, grandpa feels warm inside. You, child, are still thinking about grandpa's health and preparing these by yourself. Grandpa is satisfied."
Grandpa Mu and Grandpa Bai, who were standing by, were attracted by this heartwarming scene and cast approving glances at them.
Grandpa Mu smiled heartily and gave a thumbs up: "Xiao Yue is such a thoughtful child! You are so lucky to have such a granddaughter, Old Lin."
Grandpa Bai also nodded and agreed, "Yes, this ginseng wine looks special. We are in for a treat tonight."
Lin Weidong's face was full of pride, his chest was puffed high, and he patted his thigh and said loudly: "That's right! Our Xiaoyue has been smart and sensible since she was a child."
Mu Xuejun sat aside with a smile on his face, teasing, "Come on, Lin Weidong! Xiaoyue calls me Grandpa Mu so sweetly, how come she is unique to your family? In our hearts, Xiaoyue is also the granddaughter of our two families. Every time she comes, she brings us snacks she made by herself. I still miss the sweet-scented osmanthus cake she gave us last time!"
Grandpa Bai pushed his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and agreed with a smile: "That's right, that's right. Last month, Xiaoyue knew that I had bad teeth, so she made me some green bean cakes that melt in your mouth. This is so thoughtful, just like her own granddaughter."
When Lin Weidong heard this, he pretended to be angry and his eyes widened: "Hey! You can't snatch my granddaughter away. Although Xiaoyue is close to you, I am her real grandfather!"
Before he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the mottled leaves and onto the stone road in the courtyard, covering the entire courtyard with a layer of warm orange gauze.
As the last ray of light in the sky gradually faded, it was time to get off work.
After a while, the wooden door of the yard was pushed open with a creaky sound, and everyone came back one after another.
The sounds of footsteps and chatting and laughter intertwined together, making the originally quiet courtyard instantly lively.
At this time, the hearty voice of the fifth brother Lin Qi Yang broke the noise.
As he strode into the yard, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Little sister, I've been busy all day and my stomach is growling. What are you going to eat tonight?"
As he spoke, his eyes fell on the center of the yard, "Huh? What are those things in the yard?"
The others were also attracted by Lin Qiyang's words. They stopped and looked at Lin Zhiyue in unison. Everyone had anticipation on their faces, waiting for her answer.
Lin Zhiyue turned around with a smile, her eyes curved into crescents, and said crisply: "Let's have barbecue tonight!"
As she spoke, she pointed to the corner of the yard and patiently introduced, "That's the barbecue grill, and the bag next to it is filled with charcoal. Fifth brother, you are experienced, come and light the charcoal with me first!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiyang immediately rolled up his sleeves, strode towards the barbecue grill, and patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me to light the charcoal!"
