At this time, Lin Lang was hunched over, sweeping cow dung outside the cowshed.
Several cows in the cowshed were chewing grass leisurely, occasionally making a few "moo" sounds.
After a day of hard work, Lin Lang's clothes were covered with dust and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he still cleaned every corner carefully.
Inadvertently, he straightened up, looked into the distance, and saw his daughter's familiar figure from afar, which appeared particularly clear in the moonlight.
"My daughter, why are you here? And bring so many things with you? You must be tired!" Lin Lang's voice was full of heartache. He immediately put down the shovel in his hand and walked quickly forward.
The calloused hand reached out, trying to take the bag of food from Lin Zhiyue's hand to help lighten his daughter's burden.
Lin Zhiyue called out sweetly, "Dad!" The clear voice seemed to carry magic, like the first ray of warm sunshine in spring, instantly dispelling Lin Lang's fatigue from a day's work.
The tiredness on his face disappeared, his eyes narrowed into slits with joy, and the corners of his mouth raised high, revealing a row of not very neat but warm teeth.
The father and daughter walked into the cowshed side by side. The light in the cowshed was dim and soft.
The grandparents were sitting together chatting. When they heard the footsteps, they all turned around.
Seeing Lin Zhiyue coming, everyone's face broke into smiles.
"Zhiyue is here and has brought us more delicious food!" Grandma Bai smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into two crescents and the wrinkles on her face stretched out like blooming chrysanthemums.
"Come, come and sit down. Let us taste Zhiyue's cooking." Grandpa Mu greeted warmly. As he spoke, he moved the small stool to make room for Lin Zhiyue.
Lin Zhiyue smiled and laid out the dishes one by one. The braised pork was bright red in color and fragrant, making people salivate at the sight.
The stir-fried seasonal vegetables are green and tender, as if they are still covered with field dew;
The egg custard is as delicate as white jade, dotted with a few drops of sesame oil, exuding an attractive luster.
Everyone sat together and couldn't wait to pick up their bowls and chopsticks.
"Zhi Yue, your cooking skills are getting better and better. The braised pork is fatty but not greasy and melts in your mouth." Grandma Mu picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth, chewing it carefully. While eating, she gave a thumbs up and praised.
“Yes, yes, this egg custard is very smooth and tender, and melts in your mouth.” Grandpa Mu also nodded in praise.
Everyone was talking at the same time, and laughter echoed in the cowshed.
In this warm atmosphere, everyone had a wonderful dinner.
After the meal, everyone worked together to clean up the dishes. Grandpa Lin sat aside, took out a pipe from his waist, filled it with a bag of tobacco, took a puff, and slowly opened his mouth, looking at Lin Zhiyue lovingly and said: "Granddaughter, do you have any ideas for the future? You have graduated now."
The bullpen suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Zhiyue, full of concern and expectation.
Lin Zhiyue was slightly stunned. She didn't expect her grandfather to suddenly ask this question.
After thinking for a moment, she raised her head, her eyes firm and bright, and said, "Grandpa, I want to take a break and spend some time with my family. I've been so busy lately that I haven't been able to spend much time with you."
Grandpa Lin listened and nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, okay, our Zhiyue has ideas and ambitions. No matter what you do, Grandpa will support you."
The other grandparents also nodded in agreement, and spoke words of encouragement one after another.
These warm words, like stars, gave Lin Zhiyue a lot of motivation in this quiet night.
During this relaxing and comfortable time in Lin Zhiyue, the days are like a slowly flowing stream, quiet and beautiful.
That afternoon, the sun lazily sprinkled on the courtyard, giving every corner a faint golden glow.
The old locust tree in the yard swayed gently in the breeze, and the rustling sound of its branches and leaves seemed to be humming a soothing song.
Lin Zhiyue moved a bamboo chair and sat under the tree, holding a book on mechanical principles in his hands, immersed in the ocean of knowledge.
"Bang, bang, bang", a sudden knock on the door suddenly broke the silence.
Lin Zhiyue came back to her senses from the book, her face full of confusion, thinking: "Who could it be at this time?" She put down the book, stood up and walked towards the gate.
When I opened the door, I saw a postman in a green uniform standing at the door with a warm smile on his face.
The postman was holding a medium-sized package in his hand, and the label on it was particularly eye-catching under the sunlight.
"Comrade Lin, this is your package," the postman raised the package in his hand, with a somewhat friendly tone, "It has been left at the post office for several days, and you didn't come to pick it up, so I delivered it to you today."
A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Zhiyue's eyes. She quickly reached out to take the package and said gratefully: "Oh, thank you so much. It's troublesome for you to make a special trip." Her eyes fell on the package, and she wondered in her heart, what could this be?
The postman smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay, this is what I should do. Please sign for it." As he said that, he took out the receipt and pen from his bag and handed them to Lin Zhiyue.
Lin Zhiyue took the pen, wrote her name neatly on the receipt, and then returned the receipt to the postman.
"Okay, okay, thank you so much!" Lin Zhiyue thanked him again and watched the postman turn and leave.
After the postman's figure gradually disappeared at the entrance of the village, Lin Zhiyue closed the gate and returned to the bamboo chair in the yard with the package in his arms.
She gently placed the package on the table and examined it carefully, her curiosity growing stronger.
