After dinner, Lin's mother and sister-in-law cleaned up the things on the table, while Lin's father played with his grandchildren. It was rare for Lin Xiu to come back from vacation, so he stared at Lin Xing who seemed to have said something bad about him just now, and Lin Xiu took him to the study to give him an immediate homework.
Lin Xiu held the teacup, drinking the scented tea while smiling as he watched Lin Xing scratching his head and ears, but still unable to resist thinking about the answer to the question he had just asked. Seeing Lin Xing looking over, Lin Xiu smiled and signaled him with his eyes to continue thinking.
How could a younger brother talk about his older brother behind his back? Moreover, he was talking about it in front of him now. It seemed that he really needed to be taught a lesson of brotherly love.
Lin Chen was not very interested in reading, so Lin Xiu, who knew him well, bought him some books on business. So, Lin Chen took the books given to him by his second brother and studied them with his eldest brother. Lin Cheng occasionally told him about his experiences in his previous life.
Everyone felt thirsty after eating hot pot, so Lin Mo went to the kitchen to make some scented tea for them to clear away heat and reduce internal heat. After thinking for a while, he dropped a few drops of spiritual spring water into it.
Cheng Yan went to the small kitchen to boil water for Lin Mo. Lin Mo made them some scented tea and brought it over, then returned to the house with a pot of tea. Cheng Yan also turned on the floor heating while boiling water, so Lin Mo could feel the warmth coming towards him as soon as he entered the house.
However, the heating had little effect on him. When he was eating hot pot just now, even though the house had a floor heating system, his feet were still cold.
After Cheng Yan boiled the water, he brought it into the room and poured it into the bathtub. When the bathtub was almost full of hot water, Cheng Yan came in with a basin of warm water.
"Come here, rub your feet to warm them up before taking a hot bath." Cheng Yan came in with a basin of water and called Lin Mo over.
Lin Mo put his things down and walked over to Cheng Yan. He sat on a stool and took off his shoes. He put his right foot in to test the water, and when he found that it was warm water, he put both feet in with confidence.
It is better to use warm water to adapt to cold feet for a long time, otherwise it is too hot to use hot water all at once. Lin Mo had an accident the first time he soaked his feet. At that time, he lay on the bed after soaking his feet and was awakened by the itchiness of his feet in the middle of the night.
So from then on, whether Cheng Yan was giving him hot water to soak his hands or feet, he would patiently rub them with warm water before using hot water.
Cheng Yan rolled up his sleeves, squatted down and put his hands in the basin. As soon as he touched Lin Mo's feet, he subconsciously frowned. Although he knew that his hands and feet were always cold, Cheng Yan had to worry about it every time.
"Why are you frowning? Be careful or you'll turn into an old man." Lin Mo touched his frowning brows and said with a smile.
"You need to see a doctor. Your hands and feet are too cold." Cheng Yan said as he carefully rubbed his feet to warm them up.
“Haven’t we seen it before…Okay, let’s go somewhere else when we have time.” Lin Mo compromised, although he knew it was useless to see it.
Cheng Yan didn't say anything and concentrated on massaging his feet. When he felt it was about time, Cheng Yan motioned for him to stand up, then helped him take off his coat, leaving only his underwear.
Cheng Yan carried him over and put him in the bathtub. Lin Mo sat in it with his body sinking a little, leaving only his head exposed.
"There's a small pot of scented tea on the table, remember to drink it." Lin Mo shouted outside the screen while taking a hot bath.
"Got it." Cheng Yan responded, picked up Lin Mo's already soaked underwear, picked up the basin and went out.
After Lin Mo finished his bath, the rest of the Lin family also went to bed. There were several small bathhouses in the compound, and Cheng Yan took a simple bath and went in. Lin Mo got up early in the morning and was now lying in bed waiting for Cheng Yan to come back.
"I'll pour the water tomorrow. Come here quickly. It's so cold in the bed." Lin Mo said quickly when he saw that he was about to go behind the screen.
Cheng Yan paused, turned around, turned off the light and walked to the bed. As soon as Cheng Yan lay down in the bed, Lin Mo clung to him like an octopus.
To Cheng Yan, the temperature in the bed was not cold, but thinking of Lin Mo's physique, he did not speak.
Lin Mo kept getting into Cheng Yan's arms. Sometimes he thought, it would be nice if he could lie in bed during the day. It was too cold outside and he really didn't want to go out. But thinking that their family had no money and they both had to make money, he could only get up from bed with a bitter smile.
Getting up in the morning in winter is really painful! But fortunately, he can still keep warm for the night. Lin Mo thought about it and stepped on Cheng Yan's instep with his already cold little feet.
"When we make more money in the future, we won't get up in the winter and stay in bed all the time." Lin Mo muttered.
"Okay, put your hand in to warm it up." Cheng Yan responded, lifted up the clothes in front of him, and put Lin Mo's cold hand in.
"Are you cold?" Lin Mo placed his hands on Cheng Yan's slightly hot chest, felt his body tremble for a moment, and chuckled.
"Cold." Cheng Yan said.
Having said that, Cheng Yan still held his hand, and kept his palm against his for a while, then turned it over and continued to hold the back of his hand. His two big feet were wrapped around Lin Mo's feet, and before long, Lin Mo felt that his whole body became warm.
"Go to sleep."
After Cheng Yan helped him warm his hands, he reached out and held him in his arms, holding him close.
"Hmm..." Lin Mo nestled in his arms with his eyes closed. He responded unconsciously when he heard the familiar voice.
Seeing that he fell asleep, Cheng Yan also closed his eyes and went to sleep.
In the middle of the night, Cheng Yan, who rarely dreams, had another dream today. Cheng Yan knew that this was his dream, but it was useless for him to struggle to wake up. He could only watch the development of the dream in silence.
Two boys, about thirteen or fourteen years old, were standing in the desolate yard. A boy in bright yellow clothes was holding the hand of a teenage child, and was standing in front of another boy with a somewhat cold expression.
The two sides were silent for a long time, and finally the boy who looked a little cold spoke.
"Brother, please protect Xiaoyuan."
“Fifth brother…” The child, who was held by the hand and not allowed to go forward, had red eyes, but he still tried to hold back his tears.
"...We'll wait for you to come back." The young man in bright yellow clothes held the child's hand tightly and looked intently at his younger brother in front of him.
"Brother Emperor, when I return, it will be time for you to ascend the throne." The young man looked at him and whispered.
“That’s what I think too.”
“Come here,” the young man looked at the child standing nearby and held out his hand to him.
"Fifth brother..." The child broke free from his third brother's hand, threw himself into his fifth brother's arms, and secretly shed tears.
"Listen to your royal brother and don't trust anyone except him." The young man reached out and touched the child's head, admonishing him.
"Well, Fifth Brother, you have to come back soon and don't get hurt." The child lowered his head to wipe away his tears, then looked at him.
"Yeah." The young man responded, looked at them for a long time, and finally left through the small door.
As a bystander, Cheng Yan watched them silently, only to find that the scene was somewhat familiar. Cheng Yan glanced at the boy and the child, suppressed the bitterness in his heart, and left with the other boy.
After the boy left, he followed a general into the military camp and headed to the border.
Then, Cheng Yan watched the young man climb up step by step from a soldier to the position of general. He saw him experience several life-threatening situations along the way, but the young man still gritted his teeth and persevered.
At the end, Cheng Yan saw the boy who had grown up and became a general. He put on a silver mask, burned the letter sent from the capital, and led his personal soldiers to the capital day and night.
Rushing to the outskirts of the capital, the masked general saw from afar a new emperor in a dragon robe and a young man in red standing on the city wall. Cheng Yan saw that the general, who had always been expressionless, had a slight smile on his face that was not covered by the mask.
Before he could see the back, Cheng Yan woke up. Cheng Yan opened his eyes and hugged Lin Mo tightly in his arms.
It seems that this dream is the same as the one he had before. Is that young man the silver-masked general he dreamed of before? His previous memories have been restored a little, but he doesn't know what his previous identity was.
Is it the new emperor, or the general? Or someone else?
Cheng Yan came back to his senses and glanced out the window. He found that it was still dark, so he put Lin Mo's slightly cold hand in his arms, hugged him, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
The weather was getting colder and it started to snow outside. Lin Mo didn't go to the food store anymore and just stayed in the greenhouse to play with Xiaoya and Xiaonan every day.
Cheng Yan went to check every morning and came back at noon. As the weather got colder, more and more people went to eat hot pot, so Cheng Yan recruited a few more people to help in the shop.
The Mingjiuxuan opened by Lin Cheng not only sells fruit wine, but also hot food in winter is launched early in the morning when it is cold. Lin Mo went to take a look before and briefly told Lin Cheng about a few dishes. Lin Cheng went back to think about it for a few days and launched new products.
Lin Chen, who was obsessed with business, would get up early every morning and go out with Lin Cheng, leaving Lin Xing with only the feeling of a cold quilt every morning.
When the weather got cold, Lin Xing also stayed in the greenhouse with them all day. However, when Lin Mo played with Xiao Nan and Xiao Ya, Lin Xing could only look at them with resentment and then continue to read the books prepared by his second brother for him.
There weren't many things in the greenhouse, the largest space was occupied by the big bed, which was covered with several layers of quilts and had a floor heater underneath. The big bed took up half of the room, and there were many things on it. Lin Xiu was drinking tea and reading a book beside him, while Lin Xing looked at his fourth brother from time to time, then turned back to continue reading.
Lin Mo, Xiaoya and Xiaonan were playing at the other end, while Lin's mother and sister-in-law were also there to make clothes for them. Even so, the upper seat was still wide enough to accommodate five or six strong men.
"Pay attention." Lin Xiu tapped the table with his fingers and reminded.
Lin Xing, who was caught by his second brother again, quickly turned around and read the book honestly.
They stayed in the greenhouse until noon. After Cheng Yan, Lin Cheng and Lin Chen came back, Lin's mother put away the things and went to the kitchen with her daughter-in-law to bring out the bone soup that had been simmering and put it in the pot, and then began to prepare the ingredients for lunch.
After Cheng Yan came back, he went to the greenhouse to take a look at Lin Mo, and then went into the kitchen to help cut vegetables.
