The next day, the weather cleared up and the winter sun was rarely so warm.
Lin Shufen moved her daughter a little further on the kang so that her little flesh could also bask in the sun.
Chu Linyu, who had just drunk milk, was still energetic and wanted to play with his brothers for a while. However, the sun was too comfortable and his eyelids were drooping. He fell asleep holding Lin Zheng's hand.
Chu Minghai saw this scene through the window and felt a warm feeling flowing through his heart. This simple happiness was what he wanted to protect.
After changing his clothes and putting on a hat, Chu Minghai went out. He had to talk to Cheng Biaozi. Yesterday, Cheng Biaozi showed his kindness and helped, so he had to thank him no matter what.
Lin Guodong is taking a rest today, so old man Lin takes his weapons, such as a bow and arrow, a dagger, and leads him up the mountain.
We have to invite all the relatives in the village to our granddaughter’s full moon celebration. It can’t be too shabby. Plus, it’s almost the New Year, so we have to prepare some meat.
The weather is getting colder and colder. If we have a good harvest this time when we go up the mountain, we won’t need to come before the New Year.
Lin Feng was bored and biting the end of his pencil, distracted by the homework Chu Minghai assigned to him.
The little boy has a lot of worries.
Why is Lin Feng so unlucky? The school didn't give him any homework during the winter vacation, and when he got home his uncle gave him more homework. He is not the little brother and he doesn't love studying that much. All he wants to do now is to see his sister and go out and try out the slingshot he won.
When Old Man Lin and his companions went out, he happened to catch a glimpse and saw the weapons they were carrying.
He instantly became energetic, threw the pen on the table, put on his cotton jacket, picked up the slingshot and rushed out. Lin Zheng didn't move at all.
Cai Honglian was knitting woolen trousers for her husband. When she saw her son running out and Lin Zheng concentrating on doing his homework, she shook her head and said, "Alas."
"Dad, Grandpa, wait for me, I want to go up the mountain with you."
Lin Guodong looked at his son who had followed him out and said unhappily, "Your grandfather and I went up the mountain to have fun. It's too dangerous for you, a little brat, to follow us. Go home now!"
Lin Feng was unwilling to do so. He had been looking forward to going up the mountain for a long time.
She used the method of acting like a spoiled child that she had learned from her schoolmates, twisted her body and pinched her throat to say, "Grandpa, just take me with you. I'm already 12 years old and can go up the mountain. If you guys get something, I can help carry it. We can get a lot more."
"Please put away your weird look, it's an eyesore!" Lin Guodong complained that his son's dark and pretentious appearance gave people goosebumps!
Old Man Lin thought about it and agreed, "Okay, then you can follow me. 12 is not a child anymore. I remember your father followed me up the mountain around this time. You are fast and strong, so you should be a good helper. Let's go."
"Oh, you are still open-minded."
With his grandfather's order, Lin Feng didn't care about his father's dark face. He rushed to take the things in old man Lin's hand, and then ran ahead.
Lin Guodong shook his head unhappily and followed Old Man Lin.

On the other side, Chu Minghai came to the county party committee. After the guard informed him, he came to Cheng Biaozi's office.
It’s not a private office, but there’s no one else there.
Cheng Biaozi seemed to have expected that he would come to find him and was waiting for him.
"Please sit anywhere. If you want to drink tea, there's hot water. Pour it yourself." Cheng Biaozi leaned back in his chair and pointed to the small table at the door where the thermos was placed.
Chu Minghai shook his head. "I won't drink the water. I have to thank you for speaking up for me yesterday."
"It's nothing. It's my duty. You are indeed wronged." Cheng Biaozi said casually and didn't look at Chu Minghai.
