During the meal, Tang Le would steal a few glances at Lin Sheng from time to time. His love for her could not be hidden, but he did not dare to let others see it.
Lin Sheng was still the one taking care of the two children. He helped look after them every time they came to eat, and this had happened several times before. The children also became closer to him.
Whenever they see Lin Sheng or whenever he is around, they always love to stick to him and play with him. Now, when he calls them to come over for dinner at night, the two little guys will automatically run to Lin Sheng and don't need their biological father to take care of them.
Lin Sheng simply felt sorry for the two children. Thinking back to when Lin Mo and the others were still young, they were raised by him single-handedly. He really couldn't bear to see such young children locked up at home all day, the farthest they went was to come here for dinner.
When Lin Sheng has some free time on weekdays, he will bring them some food and entertain them for a while.
However, Lin Sheng would not go there often, so as to avoid being seen by the gossipy villagers who would definitely exaggerate and talk about it.
At the dinner table, Tang Le and Lin Sheng did not interact at all. They sat at one end and the other end, and they were completely unrelated.
Lin Mo took a bite of food and a shovel of rice, secretly watching the two people's movements, but the two people really couldn't make any movement, which made people feel heartbroken. Lin Mo even shook his head while taking a bite of rice.
Aunt Lu saw this and thought Lin Mo thought his cooking skills were not good enough, so she asked cautiously, "Third Master, is the food I made tonight not to your liking? Why did you keep shaking your head all night?"
Lin Mo almost choked, and quickly drank some water and swallowed the rice. After calming down, he said, "Today's dishes are not bad, they are well cooked. I am very satisfied."
After hearing what Lu A'mo said, everyone present was confused and began to suspect that they didn't understand what he said, and they were feeling frustrated.
Lin Sheng still quietly picked up food for the children, and from time to time he picked up food for Lin Mo and his brothers, just like when they were children, he always left the good food for them first.
Lin Mo felt very distressed when he saw Lin Sheng like this. He wanted to persuade him not to work so hard and enjoy his life, but Lin Sheng would not listen to him at all.
He hoped that someone would appear in the future who could make up for what Lin Sheng had been missing since childhood, and not have to act like both a father and a mother, taking care of Lin Mo and his brothers as they grew up, and then taking care of his future husband's family.
If that's the case, Lin Mo would rather he didn't marry! Anyway, he has money and can support his family. At least if he works harder, his family will have a rich life in this life.
After the meal, Lin Mo was the first to leave his seat. Lin Sheng was the last to finish, as she had to help take care of the two children, so she ate the slowest. By the end, the food had cooled considerably, and there wasn't much left.
But Lin Sheng never complained. Instead, he quietly cleaned up the dishes and even rushed to do Lu Amo's work.
Lin Mo couldn't bear to watch this, so he walked away and then turned back, saying to Lin Sheng patiently, "Brother, just leave this to them. You don't have to clean up the mess yourself. Go see Xiaolu and Yoyo off."
Lin Sheng understood. He knew in his heart that Lin Mo didn't want him to work so hard, so he found an excuse to get him out of the way.
He silently replied "OK", then took the two children's hands and sent them out.
Outside the door, Tang Le picked up the two children and said goodbye to Lin Sheng shyly, but he hesitated and opened his mouth for a long time, but couldn't say anything.
Seeing him like this, Lin Sheng took the initiative to speak to him, "Brother Tang, it's getting late. Take the two children home to rest first. We still have to come back to help with the work tomorrow, so you should go back and rest early too."
When Tang Le heard Lin Sheng was concerned about him and the child, his face couldn't help but blush a little, and he felt even more shy and embarrassed. He replied honestly, "Okay, Brother Sheng, I'll listen to you. We'll go back first, and you should get some rest early."
After saying goodbye, Lin Sheng went back to the house. Tang Le was secretly delighted. On the way back, he held the two children in his arms and walked with a cheerful pace.
Some are happy and some are sad.
Lin Sheng returned to the yard alone and sat on a bench in the corridor in a daze.
He held the little tiger he bought that day in his hand, hesitating in his heart and deciding not to give it away.
He took out the pendant that Tang Le had given him from his pocket, put the two objects together, and rubbed them from time to time, as if he was making a decision.
The night was long, and Lin Sheng thought about it all night long.
As the sky brightened, he finally figured it out. He wanted to return the pendant Tang Le had given him! He felt that the thought and care this gift carried was too precious, and he couldn't afford it.
So he decided to wait until after Lin Mo and Su Mu's wedding, and then go find Tang Le in person to explain everything to him.
For the next two days, the Lin family was busy preparing for the wedding. The tent was set up, and everything needed to be tidied up and moved.
The red curtain was drawn, and a festive atmosphere emerged. This was the first time in Maolin's history.
Lin Mosheng was afraid that there wouldn't be enough space for the banquet, so he used wooden pillars to build a place in the large open space outside the door for the banquet.
It was covered with a red curtain, with potted plants placed on the edges, and large red festive lanterns hung on top of each pillar.
Whether viewed from close up or from a distance, it looked very impressive. This was the first time such a grand ceremony had taken place in the village, and the villagers all praised Su Mu for her good fortune, marrying a promising man like Lin Mo.
The interior of the house was even more solemn and majestic. The room was filled with red silk, large wedding characters, and large red flower lanterns. The most eye-catching thing was the pair of handmade dragon and phoenix candles displayed in the main hall. Ordinary people really couldn't afford them, and had never even seen them.
From the hall to the courtyard, the ground was covered with red carpet, which made the villagers exclaim that it was a luxury.
The kitchen stove was not enough, so Lao Gu and his friends set up six temporary stoves outside the door, and borrowed big pots from the village chief and the neighborhood head, borrowing all the usable stoves.
Because I was afraid that the spatula was not enough, I found a few new big spatulas. Each time I scooped it up, I got a big spoonful, which was enough.
Their wedding room was decorated very elegantly. Although most of the decorations were red, Su Mu placed his favorite potted plants in the room.
The room was filled with a faint floral fragrance, which was very comfortable. On one side of the table, there were some seasonal fruits, and a pair of red candles were quietly placed on both sides.
Su Mu personally curated the furnishings in the room, having shopped for them in town with Lin Mo. The exquisite tea table was covered with a red tablecloth with a gold pattern, and a new set of wine jugs was placed on top.
The new bed is bigger than a single bed, more than enough for two people to lie down in. It is padded with a thick layer of cotton, which is soft and comfortable.
It is covered with a bright red quilt, and in the middle of the quilt is placed a pile of various things, including lotus seeds, longan, etc., which symbolizes the early birth of a son.
After everything was ready, Lin Mo checked them one by one, not allowing any carelessness.
The bridal chamber was the last one to be inspected. As soon as he opened the door and looked at the prominent "Happiness" character on the wall, Lin Mo sighed inwardly. He was finally getting married to Su Mu, and tomorrow was their big day. He smiled heartily from the bottom of his heart.
