Su Mu was like a stone statue at this moment, motionless, and the heartbeats of each other were a symphony of beating.
The two were silent for a while, and then Lin Mo said, "Mu Tou, come here and look up."
Su Mu did as he said, raised her head, and followed the man's gaze. Thousands of fireflies turned into a field of shining stars in the night, twinkling and flying towards the farther sky. It was beautiful.
"Do you like it?" Lin Mo lowered his eyes and stared at Su Mu's slightly round face, unable to hide his smile, and asked affectionately.
"Yeah, I like it." Su Mu's eyes curved as she nodded shyly.
"Does it look good?" Lin Mo continued to ask relentlessly.
"It looks good." Su Mu's clear eyes moved to Lin Mo's face and she smiled at him.
"Do you think you're as pretty as me?" Lin Mo's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly in a beautiful arc. He instantly had a bad idea.
"It's better to look different." Su Mu quickly realized that Lin Mo had another bad idea, and pouting, she replied shyly. After a pause, she continued, "Lin Mo, it's getting late, let's go home." Su Mu had learned her lesson and stopped Lin Mo before he could do anything bad.
Lin Mo responded with a calm smile, and no longer had the thought of teasing Su Mu. He took Su Mu's hand and walked out of the bush. On the way back, Lin Mo suddenly asked, "Mu Mu, your birthday is in a few days. I want to hold a birthday party for you and celebrate your birthday."
Su Mu had never mentioned his birthday to Lin Mo. Perhaps it was because of the time when he went to cancel the slave registration that he took a closer look and wrote down his birthday.
He looked at the man in front of him in surprise and admiration. He felt that the man knew everything and was taking care of him all the time. He felt safe with him around.
Su Mu pretended not to know and asked quietly and obediently, "How do you know my birthday?" Although she had a guess, she still wanted to hear him say it out loud. That would be different.
Lin Mo said mischievously: "Secret, guess."
Su Mu's eyes flashed with jealousy, and his cheeks puffed up. Lin Mo knew when to stop and obediently revealed the "secret" in full, fearing that the little ancestor would be angry.
"It's been a long time. I'll always remember anything that happened to you. I took note of it when I went to cancel my citizenship last time. Mumu, don't be angry. Let's go home."
The two of them held hands and walked on the muddy road illuminated by the moonlight, talking and laughing on the way. The two backs were happily leaning against each other, walking towards home.
When they returned home, their family had already prepared the meal and were sitting around the table, waiting for them to come back.
Lin Sheng saw them first.
"Amo, Mumu, you're back. Come on, wash your hands and eat, otherwise the food will get cold and won't taste good."
The whole family sits together, you pick up vegetables for me and I pick up meat for you, it’s lively and lively with people passing each other around.
Tang Jie was also at the dinner table today. Lin Mo carefully observed his every move and found that his eyes were always on Awen. He picked up the dishes that Awen liked, filling a bowl with them. If he saw that he was eating too fast and choked, he would immediately pour him water.
Although Tang Jie is a rough man, he is very patient and meticulous in dealing with Awen.
Lin Mo thought about it and observed it again. Maybe his second brother and Tang Jie loved each other. He also hoped that his brother would have a lover and live with the one he loved.
Even when he gets old, he will have a companion to talk to and won’t be so lonely.
After dinner, everything that needed to be cleaned up was cleaned up, and Lin Mo briefly explained the work arrangements for tomorrow to Lin Wu and Fu Yanzhi.
"Have you memorized everything?"
Lin Mo carefully reminded him again.
"Yes, I'll remember that, Third Brother." Lin Wu nodded heavily. Fu Yanzhi and Lin Mo smiled at each other and nodded slightly, their understanding tacit.
Lin Mo then pulled out a small notebook and a small cotton pouch from his sleeve. The pouch was stuffed full, round like a ball. He handed the two items to Fu Yanzhi.
"These are Sichuan peppercorn seeds, along with instructions for growing them. Tomorrow, register the number of people and distribute the seeds according to the number of acres of land they own. Sichuan peppercorn seeds are quite scarce here, so don't waste them."
Lin Mo repeatedly reminded him that this seed didn't exist in this otherworldly world, and he'd stumbled upon it while searching through space. There was only so much left, and it couldn't be wasted. Otherwise, all the work done before would be wasted. Naturally, he had to worry more.
Fu Yanzhi looked at the 'treasure' in his hand. He naturally knew how valuable it was. He tiptoed to open the cloth bag, revealing small black balls slightly larger than sesame seeds.
Looking at this black little seed, Fu Yanzhi's eyes were full of curiosity. What would it look like when it grows up?
Seeing that he was fascinated by the things in the bag, Lin Wu couldn't help but move his head closer out of curiosity, squinting one eye and looking inside hard.
"Hey, Teacher Fu, what are you looking at? You're so engrossed. Why can't I see anything? It's pitch black, there's nothing there!"
Puff! Lin Mo and Fu Yanzhi were both amused by Lin Wu's naiveté.
Fu Yanzhi opened the bag and gently poured a little of the contents into his palm, placing it where the light was most visible. A gentle and elegant voice said, "See? It's seeds."
"Ah. These are Sichuan peppercorn seeds. Why are they so black, like cockroach poop?"
The words made the two people present burst into laughter. The people in the room also heard it. Su Mu walked over curiously, wondering why the three of them were so cheerful.
"What are you talking about? You seem so excited."
When Lin Mo saw Su Mu coming, he made room for him to sit.
Lin Mo: "I'm looking at pepper seeds. Xiao Wu said the seeds are black, like cockroach poop."
Lin Wu rubbed his head, looking naive, and said, "It just looks like cockroach poop, right? I think so. If Third Brother hadn't told me it was seeds, I would have thought it was something else. Even if you put it next to me, I wouldn't have recognized it as a seed."
Fu Yanzhi smiled and waved his hand.
"It's not that exaggerated. If this is cockroach poop, how big a cockroach would it be?"
Lin Mo smiled but said nothing. In the apocalypse, there were so many bizarre things. Animals and humans alike had mutated, and even cockroaches had evolved accordingly. They were as tall as a small stool, so they could be ridden for transportation.
Su Mu also took a closer look and thought it was very strange: "How much can such a small seed yield?"
Lin Mo moved closer to Su Mu, grabbed a few seeds, held Su Mu's hand, and placed them in his palm.
Pointing at the seeds, he whispered softly, "Don't underestimate these tiny seeds. If you plant them well, one seed can produce a whole tree of fruit, ten times, even dozens or even hundreds of times its own."
