The air in the early morning was very fresh. Lin Mo walked out of the room and stood in the yard. He took a deep breath and his nerves, which had been tense all night, finally relaxed.
Lin Mo stood aside brushing his teeth while thinking about how to sell his brewed wine to people in town later. From the kitchen came the sound of breakfast being made, as well as the voices of Lin's mother and sister-in-law talking in low voices.
After Lin Mo finished brushing his teeth and washing his face, the others got up. Lin Mo sat at the table and ate breakfast, occasionally picking up some food for his nephews and nieces.
Lin Xing quickly brushed his teeth and wiped his face roughly. He saw that only his fourth brother and the two children in the family were at the dining table, and everyone else was busy. Lin Xing bent over, walked over quickly and sat next to his fourth brother.
"Fourth brother, are you and mom and dad going to town today?" Lin Xing grabbed a steamed bun and leaned close to his fourth brother and whispered.
"Well, didn't you know last night? Why didn't you wipe your face dry?" Lin Mo glanced at him expressionlessly.
"Well... Fourth brother, can I go with you?" Lin Xing smiled ingratiatingly and wiped the water droplets off his face with his sleeve.
"Why are you following?"
"Hey... don't you guys still need to buy things? I can help carry them!" Lin Xing straightened up calmly and said with a smile.
"Okay." Lin Mo glanced at Lin Xing's ten-year-old body and hid the smile in his eyes.
"Fifth Uncle, Xiaoya wants to go too." Lin Xiaoya, who was sitting next to him, looked up at Lin Xing with a wooden spoon in her hand and blinked.
"Xiaoya is too young to carry things now. Can we go when she grows up?" Lin Xing coaxed his little niece.
"Okay, then do you have any candy?" Lin Xiaoya continued to ask. Lin Xiaonan, who was carefully scooping porridge to drink beside her, heard it and raised his head to look at Lin Xing with some anticipation in his eyes.
"This... can you guys buy it after you finish the candies in the jar?" Lin Xing coaxed him carefully, and even if he wanted to buy it, he had no money.
"What kind of candy do you want?" Lin Mo raised his hand and touched Xiaoya's head and asked.
"Sweet candy." Lin Xiaoya looked at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo paused while touching the child's head, not knowing what to do next. Aren't all candies sweet? Could there be sour or bitter ones?
"Can I have one with a string of red candies on it?" Lin Xiaonan, who was sitting next to Lin Xiaoya, suddenly asked.
"Those are candied haws." Lin Xing explained when he saw his fourth brother's puzzled look.
"Sure." It's just a string of candied haws. I'll have money after selling the jar of wine.
"Fourth brother, I want to buy red bean cake too." Seeing this, Lin Xing on the side also whispered.
"What are you buying? Are you a child?" Lin Chen, who was walking over, heard it and rubbed his silly brother's head.
"Lin Chen, I'm your brother, why do you always touch my head? My second brother always said that we should respect the elderly and love the young." Lin Xing straightened his hair that was messed up by his younger brother, and said with some dissatisfaction.
"oh."
Is this how respecting the elderly and loving the young is used?
After Lin Mo finished his breakfast, he took out the porcelain jar that had been placed in a cool place for some time, covered the mouth of the white jade wine jar with a clean white cloth, and then poked it into it.
"Fourth brother, what are you doing?" Lin Xing asked puzzledly.
"The wine is a little cloudy, so we need to filter it."
After the preparations were completed, Lin Mo opened the lid of the porcelain jar, and the unique aroma of the wine slowly overflowed from it. Soon the whole yard was filled with the aroma of wine, mixed with the aroma of fruit.
At first, Lin Mo didn't smell the flavor of wine in his memory, and he wondered if he had done something wrong in some step. But when the smell of the wine in the jar wafted out, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. This was better than he expected.
Lin Mo recalled and remembered that he seemed to habitually drop two drops of spiritual spring water into the wine that day. Unexpectedly, it could improve the quality of the wine. At that time, he just wanted to speed up the fermentation process, but he didn't expect to hit the mark by accident.
"This wine smells so good." Lin Xing leaned closer and squinted his eyes to smell it.
Lin Mo didn't say anything as he picked up the porcelain jar and poured the wine into the prepared container. The small white jade-colored porcelain jar was bought at a small stall when he went to town last time. Although its color transparency was not as good as that of a glass, it was just right for holding purple-red wine.
As the wine was poured in and out, the aroma became stronger and other people were attracted to it.
"The color of this wine is so beautiful." Lin Chen carefully placed his hands on the edge of the table, resting his chin on the back of his hands, staring intently at the color coming out of the wine jar.
"The wine has a strong aroma and a fruity taste. It will definitely work." Lin's mother said happily.
When the white jade-colored porcelain jar was almost filled, there was only one third of wine left in the ceramic jar, and the fruit pulp inside was exposed.
"There's still some in there. Do you want to get another small jar to put it in?" asked Mrs. Lin.
"Okay, pour it out and leave it for Dad and Big Brother." Lin Mo nodded, closed the lid and put it aside.
Then Father Lin took the jar away with a happy look on his face, because it was given to him by his son. As for his eldest son, he hadn’t recovered from his injury yet, so how could he drink wine?
"Your father is such a fool. Is it really necessary to be so anxious?" Mother Lin was speechless when she saw that he couldn't even maintain his composure in front of the child.
Lin Cheng smiled helplessly. Well, he would not have the chance to drink the first jar of wine brewed by his younger brother.
After everything was ready, Lin's father and mother packed their things and took their two sons out.
Many people from the village go to the town in the morning. Some of them pick vegetables grown by themselves to sell in the town, and some carry tofu made last night to the town.
Some elderly people sat in front of their houses and chatted with others across the street, with children chasing each other around.
This is the life of the villagers in Daling Village. If there is no farm work, they will visit other people's homes to chat, or go to the town to sell some vegetables or home-woven bamboo products.
Sometimes there would be some quarrels between neighbors, but after being persuaded by others, they would be fine and they would still be in harmony the next day.
This is also the thing that Li Zheng of Daling Village is most proud of. He has heard some things in neighboring villages, and it seems that other villages cannot live without some trouble for a while.
"Brother Lin, are you guys going to town too?" A man who was carrying a load of things on his shoulder greeted him.
"Well, I went to buy some things. But why did your whole family go out? Aren't you usually the only one who goes to the town?" Father Lin asked in confusion.
Zhang Dazhuang's family is one of the tofu-making families in the village, but usually he goes to town alone. But now even his little brother has come out with him, so Father Lin can't help but feel curious.
"There will be a happy event at home in a few days. I'm going to buy some things. Remember to come to your house then." Zhang Dazhuang said with a smile.
"Remember, remember, why are there so many happy events in the village's families recently? Is this a good thing that is coming?" Father Lin was a little confused. His wife told him the day before yesterday that she would go to a certain family to attend a wedding in a few days, and today there was another one.
"Just get married when they are old enough. After all, they grew up together and they already know each other's feelings."
"Aunt Lin, your brother is about the right age, right? Does brother Mo have someone he likes?" The men from the two families were talking on the side. Aunt Zhang also walked to Lin's mother and chatted casually.
"I don't know yet, but there are suitable candidates, but I don't know what they mean..."
Lin Mo saw that they were talking about himself, and about his marriage. He couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that things that he had never experienced in his previous life would remain until now.
Zhang Yuanqing, who had been following his family, saw that the elders were chatting, still talking about him, so Zhang Yuanqing, who had no one to talk to, walked to the side of the Lin family's brother.
"Lin Mo, I remember you didn't have anyone you liked, do you have one now?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.
He knew Lin Mo from the Lin family, but he had rarely seen him. He did not expect that this man was so fair and good-looking, though he looked a little sickly. As expected, what others said was right. Lin Mo was indeed a delicate boy, even weaker than the average boy.
Lin·smashed the zombies' heads·escaped from the pursuit of the superpowered·Mo:...
"No." Lin Mo glanced at him and said.
"Really? I thought you liked Brother Cheng." Zhang Yuanqing scratched his head and said.
"Brother Cheng? Are you talking about Cheng Yan?" Lin Mo looked puzzled. How could he not know that he liked Cheng Yan? Could it be that the original body liked him? Lin Mo thought about it and asked.
"Did I like him very much?"
"I don't know. He probably doesn't like you. Brother Cheng settled in our village a year ago. If you like you, the other brothers in our village must know about it." Zhang Yuanqing shook his head.
"I asked this because I saw that Brother Cheng went to your house to help a few days ago, and I think your parents intend to make him your son-in-law..."
"But I'm surprised you don't like Brother Cheng. Brother Cheng is very handsome, and most of the guys in the village like him. But he's a little cold, and he never responded when other guys greeted him."
"But I don't like him just like you. Although Brother Zheng is not as good-looking as him, at least he is good to me..."
Zhang Yuanqing walked beside Lin Mo and chattered. The topic of conversation shifted from Lin Mo to himself, but Lin Mo didn't hear much.
"…your parents intend to make him your son-in-law…"
Lin Mo's mind flashed with Cheng Yan's figure and his expressionless face, and he suddenly felt strange.
"Fourth brother..." Lin Xing walked aside, gently tugged at Fourth Brother's sleeve, and called softly.
"Huh? What's the matter?" Lin Mo came back to his senses and asked with his head tilted.
"Does Fourth Brother like Brother Cheng?" Lin Xing asked.
"No, kids shouldn't ask too many questions about this kind of thing."
"oh."
Seeing that his fourth brother didn't want to talk, Lin Xing didn't ask any more questions. However, if his fourth brother and Brother Cheng were together, Lin Xing would still be quite supportive.
On the way to the village entrance to wait for the donkey cart, Lin Mo tried his best to ignore the conversation of the elders in front of him, but he kept Zhang Yuanqing's words in mind.
If they really want to get married, the person in Lin Mo's mind is indeed Cheng Yan. That time by the river, Lin Mo found that he did not hate Cheng Yan's touch, and yesterday he also found that he would feel sleepy if he stayed next to Cheng Yan for too long.
She doesn't hate his touch and can sleep well with him. This is simply a perfect top candidate tailor-made for him. Lin Mo's heart, which had been silent for four years, became more active.
Feelings are cultivated, and there seems to be nothing wrong with getting married first and falling in love later. However, Lin Mo couldn't tell whether Cheng Yan was interested in him. What if he said it and the other person didn't have that idea? Wouldn't that be very embarrassing?
So Lin Mo didn't show it, and decided to wait until his mother came to ask him.
