Even though it was almost dusk, there were still many people in the town, and those who wanted to return to the village also began to rush back. A few people were reluctant to spend a few cents on the fare and had to carry their belongings on their shoulders.
Lin Mo bought all the things he needed to prepare, and the three of them carried bamboo baskets and walked to the designated place to wait for the donkey cart back to the village.
When they returned to Daling Village, the sun was already half set. When they came back, the family was cooking. Lin Mo put down his food and walked into the kitchen, looked around and went out.
He took out the precious medicinal herbs he found in the morning, washed them, cut them into pieces, put them in a clay pot, added rice and water to cook porridge. In order to make the medicinal effects fully exerted, Lin Mo dropped a drop of spiritual spring water into it.
Lin Cheng had two most serious injuries, one on his stomach and one on his head. The superficial injuries could be healed but the blood clots in his brain were difficult to clear. It was thanks to the spiritual spring water that Lin Cheng woke up once or twice in the past few days.
The medicinal herbs can speed up the healing of the wound on the stomach, but the wound on the head can only be healed slowly. The spiritual energy in the spiritual spring water is too rich. Even Lin Mo, who has been drinking it for four years, can only take a sip at most. People other than the space host can barely use one or two drops.
Because the medicinal herbs were precious, Lin Mo had already taken some and left them in the Lingquan space to prevent anyone from getting hurt in the future. Lin Mo also divided a small part of the land in the space for planting.
Moreover, with its quick healing effect, you can make money by selling it in pharmacies after growing it.
Mrs. Lin’s cooking skills are pretty good. This was Lin Mo’s feeling when he took his first bite of the dish. Although it wasn’t as amazing as what Lin Mo cooked, it was also appetizing.
Because Lin Mo always put the spiritual spring water in Lin Cheng's meals, Lin Cheng woke up in the afternoon and has not fallen asleep again until dinner. However, because he is still weak, he can only lie in bed and be fed by Sister Lin.
After dinner, when Lin's mother had packed up and was about to go back to the house to rest, Lin Mo called her.
"Brother Mo, what's wrong?" Lin's mother walked into his room, sat down beside the bed and asked.
"Mom...does my brother have to get married?" Lin Mo lowered his head slightly, and his expression could not be seen.
Mother Lin was startled. She then remembered that due to Mo Ge'er's health, he seldom went out, so he didn't know much about his situation, and she didn't have time to tell Mo Ge'er about this.
"Yes, doesn't Mo Ge'er want to find a husband to take care of you?" Mother Lin touched Mo Ge'er's head and said gently.
Lin Mo's body froze instantly at her touch, but he quickly relaxed, so quickly that it made people feel that his discomfort just now was just an illusion.
Find someone to live with? Perhaps he had this thought before the end of his previous life. Considering the status of the Lin family in Shangjing and the future of his elder brother in the army, Lin Mo did not tell his family about his sexual orientation.
Also because of his personality, even if he likes someone, he can only have a crush on them, and he dare not and cannot confess his feelings. Lin Mo's mind was a little dazed, and he had even forgotten the face of the senior he had a crush on in high school.
If he hadn't deliberately searched his memory, Lin Mo probably wouldn't have known that he had a crush on someone. It seemed that person treated him badly. Lin Mo really couldn't figure out why he had a crush on that kind of person in high school.
In Lin Mo's opinion, the male god in the eyes of girls in school days would definitely not live long in the apocalypse. Well... he would only live for a year at most. After all, people like him would be captured and taken to the research institute for slice research after a year. If it weren't for the spiritual spring water to keep him alive, I'm afraid that a person like him who is powerless would not live that long.
What's more, after experiencing the apocalypse for four years, Lin Mo's broken heart has become numb. Would he still have the heart to like someone?
Even the kindness he shows to the Lin family now is based on his family's kindness in his previous life. Otherwise, how could Lin Mo open his heart to a stranger so quickly, even though he is now occupying someone else's son's body.
The betrayal and hurt he suffered in his previous life made Lin Mo understand that he should not trust anyone except his family. Even if some of them were good people, Lin Mo did not want to put himself in danger of being hurt because of a small probability.
"Then...what about the unified distribution by the government?" Lin Mo asked after a long silence.
Mother Lin looked at her child with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking. She sighed inwardly and began to explain to Lin Mo.
When the late emperor was still a child, the war between Yu State and other countries caused the country's population to shrink suddenly. Although Yu State won the victory, it was also seriously damaged.
So the court promulgated a new law, which required all men, women and boys of certain age to marry. Those who had not yet married within the time limit would be gathered together and handed over to local authorities for random assignment. After the assignment, they would get married regardless of whether both parties were willing or not.
When this law was first promulgated, it attracted opposition from a huge number of people, but the opposition was ineffective. In order to quickly increase the population in a short period of time, the State of Yu resolutely enforced this law.
After knowing the result of their opposition, the common people also gave up. After all, the age limit for marriage was almost the same as their previous marriage time, except that "if they did not get married by the time limit, the government would make unified arrangements."
However, after two dynasties, the population of Yu State gradually increased, and the "time limit" of this law also changed a little.
They can get married after they reach adulthood, but the "time limit for being single" is 20 years old for men and 16 years old for women and boys. However, some wealthy families or royal relatives can delay it to 18 years old as long as they have money or power.
Because many families don't want the government to arrange a marriage for them with someone they don't like, as long as their children reach adulthood, they will quickly find a good family for their children.
Until now, most of those allocated by the government are gangsters who are looked down upon by everyone, or widowers or divorced people with children.
However, only a few people know this inside story, at least farmers or those who have no money or power do not know it.
So, no matter what, it is impossible for Yuguo to remain single for life. Even if they get divorced or the person they love passes away, they will have to find another one after a few years.
Of course, these rigid rules have little impact on the rich and powerful or the royal family. After all, many families have not only wives but also concubines.
"Before, mother didn't know that the people in the 'government allocation' would be these people, so she didn't worry too much, but now that she knows, mother doesn't want our brother Mo to suffer if he marries into those families."
"Our Mo Ge'er has been pampered by us since he was a child. Even if he wants to get married in the future, he must marry into a good family."
Lin Mo lowered his head and let his mother hold his hand and talk. Although there was no expression on his face and no emotion could be seen, Lin Mo's heart was turbulent at this moment.
This sentence sounded very familiar, so familiar that Lin Mo wanted to cry.
"Our little prince is afraid of falling if held in the palm of my hand, and afraid of melting if held in my mouth, hahahaha... Come, second brother, hold one..."
Brother, can I still give you a hug now?
"If someone bullies you at school, tell me and I'll help you beat him up..."
Brother, all of them bullied me... Lying on the operating table all day, with only numbness and emptiness in my eyes. Occasionally, a glimmer of hope flashed in my eyes, but it quickly disappeared...
"My dear, smile again and I'll take a picture of you..."
Mom...I can't laugh anymore, sorry...
Lin Mo's mind was a little dazed. He seemed to hear the voices and laughter of his mother and brothers.
"...We are not in a hurry. We still have more than a year. Brother Mo can look carefully. If we find someone we like, we will marry him. But we need to find someone who will love her husband..."
"Our Mo Ge'er will be spoiled for the rest of her life. She will be spoiled by her family before she gets married, and by her husband after she gets married."
"Our little prince will be spoiled for life. He has such a soft and cute personality... Forget it, let's not get married. Mom and Dad will support him for life..."
Lin Mo felt as if his heart was suffocating for a moment, and he could hardly breathe.
"...Okay, I'll find it." Lin Mo's voice was a little hoarse.
Lin Mo did not hear anything that Lin's mother said afterwards. He just responded softly when Lin's mother asked him. Later on, he did not even know when Lin's mother left.
Lin's mother returned to the room, took off her shoes and lay down on the bed. Lin's father heard the noise and turned over and lay down flat.
"What did Mo Ge ask you to do?"
"Old man, it's time for us to find a good family for Mo Ge'er."
"Huh? I've never seen you say these things before. What happened?" Father Lin opened his eyes, tilted his head to look at his wife lying next to him, and asked puzzledly.
Mother Lin sighed, then told him the news she heard today and Mo Ge'er's unusual behavior just now.
"This..." Father Lin felt a little angry when he heard it, but he was more relieved. He was relieved that they knew it now. It was not too late and there was still time.
"There is still more than a year left. We should pay more attention. If we find someone we like, let Mo Ge take a look. There will always be a suitable one." Lin's mother said.
"Let her take a look at A-Lan's side as well." Father Lin added.
"In fact, I would rather have Mo Ge'er marry someone closer, preferably someone from our Daling Village. If he marries far away, I'm worried that he'll be bullied and no one will help him."
Mother Lin was a little worried. Mo Ge'er was too soft-hearted and didn't like to talk much. He wanted to handle everything on his own. Mother Lin was worried about what she would do if Mo Ge'er was wronged in her husband's family.
Mother Lin felt that it was pointless to worry alone, so she expressed her worries. It was always better for two people to come up with a solution than for one person to think about it alone.
"According to what you said, I have thought of someone. That person is about the same age and basically meets the requirements." Father Lin thought for a long time and said.
"who?"
"Cheng Yan."
