The atmosphere between the two of them was a little weird for a moment. One of them blushed and lowered his eyes slightly, but his hand subconsciously held the soup bowl tightly, while the other had an obsessed look in his eyes, and his breath became heavier in a few breaths.
Lin Mo slowly approached, and Su Mu subconsciously moved back, raised his eyes slightly, and a doubt flashed in his clear eyes. This pure look made Lin Mo flicker slightly. He supported the bed with one hand, pulled the quilt over him gently, and then sighed in his heart, not knowing when he became such a gentleman.
In his previous life, Lin Mo was a real playboy. After achieving some success in his career, he mingled in various occasions.
He thought those places and the people were too dirty and messy. At first, he went there simply for food, drink and fun, but in the end, it was because of his career.
Later, at the end of the world, after witnessing so much entanglement, betrayal, life and death, separation, and mutual slaughter, he himself gradually became cold and cruel...
In short, he does not consider himself a gentleman, let alone a good person.
But he always felt a little more distressed towards Su Mu. Once he met those clear eyes, he dared not do anything too inappropriate.
Su Mu's face flushed as he hurriedly drank the pork rib soup in the bowl. Being stared at by Lin Mo with such a burning gaze, he suddenly forgot how delicious the broth was and just wanted to finish it quickly so that he could give the bowl to Lin Mo.
That night, Lin Mo lay back on the familiar wooden bed, but this time he slept particularly soundly. After running around for so long, his body was already exhausted. As soon as he calmed down, he fell asleep.
On the contrary, Lin Sheng, Lin Wu and others stayed up for most of the night before falling asleep. There was nothing they could do as they were all too excited.
Especially Lin Sheng, who was holding the bag of money, afraid of losing it. If Su Mu hadn't shared a bed with him, he would have had to get up and count the coins one by one.
The next day.
At dawn, Lin Mo got up early, cooked porridge and fried eggs. Maybe he slept too well last night, so he was the first one to get up today.
Although he had been in this world for a long time, Lin Mo still didn't know how to calculate the time by looking at the sky. He could only roughly judge that it was around six or seven o'clock.
"Third brother, you got up so early."
Lin Wu said with a smile, he felt a little embarrassed, because the bed was too comfortable last night, and he couldn't help but stay in bed today.
"From now on, you have to get up with me, exercise every day, and then have breakfast."
As Lin Mo spoke, he filled his bowl with porridge and handed him the fried eggs. He continued, "We have an ox cart at home. You can take it there later."
"Ox cart? No, the ox was bought for me by Amo and cannot be given to others." Lin Wen had just put on his clothes and came out. He thought Lin Mo was going to give the big yellow ox away, so he ran out quickly in fear.
"I won't give it to anyone else. Awen's ox cart belongs to Awen, but Xiaowu needs to use the ox cart when he goes to work. Otherwise, Awen will go with Xiaowu."
Lin Mo looked at him wearing the new clothes. It was true that clothes make the man. He looked much cuter in this outfit.
"Awen won't go. Awen wants to accompany Amo and Mumu. Mumu is not in good health."
Lin Mo nodded and praised: "Awen is so good."
"Amo, I'd better not wear new clothes today. Since I have to work, I can't waste good clothes." Lin Sheng touched the fine cotton fabric on his body, feeling a little reluctant in his heart and even more conflicted on his face.
Lin Mo shook his head. "No, you should wear this from now on. I also want to buy you some silk and brocade clothes, but the villagers are too talkative. We can buy them later when we open a shop. Now let's work hard to prepare for the store."
Lin Sheng nodded. After receiving Lin Mo's affirmation, the reluctance in his heart faded away. "Mu Mu is awake too. Go take a bowl of porridge and check on him. If I hadn't stopped him, he would have wanted to get out of bed."
Lin Mo nodded and carried the cooled porridge in. He saw Su Mu staring at the thatched roof with wide eyes. Only now did he fully understand that he had been sold to the Lin family.
"I am a slave now and cannot be your wife. However, I am willing to be a slave to your family."
In this world, slaves cannot be wives. Only by marrying someone who is also a slave can they be husband and wife. If they marry an ordinary person, they can only be concubines. Su Mu's meaning is very clear. He is also willing to be Lin Mo's concubine.
He had even thought about it. Even if he didn't become a concubine, he could be a slave. Even if Lin Mo got married and had children in the future, he would serve their family well.
Lin Mo knew what the kid was thinking as soon as he saw his expression. He ruffled his hair in annoyance and said, "I'll go find the village chief to buy the land later. When we go to the government office to transfer the ownership, you come with me and get rid of the slavery."
Su Mu's eyes lit up, "Can the slave status be removed?"
"Of course you can. Drink some porridge first to nourish your body. You can get out of bed tomorrow. Take a day off today." Su Mu's injuries were all superficial and he could only heal slowly.
"Yeah." Su Mu nodded. He was still not used to this. He could only agree with whatever Lin Mo said. Subconsciously, he didn't want to disobey Lin Mo.
"What kind of house do you want?" Lin Mo asked.
Since he was living with Su Mu, he also wanted to hear his opinion. As if knowing that Su Mu would not answer, Lin Mo added: "You must say it. That is the home we will live in together in the future. It is not only mine, but also yours, so you must tell me what kind of home you want."
Hearing this, Su Mu was stunned. Facing Lin Mo's expectant look, he felt a warm current in his heart. The words "this is also your home" almost made his psychological defenses collapse. He suppressed the soreness in his nose and the tears in his eyes and spoke seriously.
"The house needs to be sturdy, without leaks or drafts. When I get better, I'll go to the mountains and cut some long grass. Then the roof won't leak. Then we need a bigger yard with a fruit tree and some land to grow vegetables. When the fruit is ripe, we can eat it in the yard."
Su Mu's voice was bright, and as she spoke, her watery eyes became brighter and brighter, as beautiful as sparkling jewels.
Lin Mo's eyes lit up, and his handsome features became more vivid. "That's great. Let's build a blue brick and tile house, make it bigger, and plan everything you want into it. I guarantee you'll like it!"
He wanted to give Su Mu the best possible. Besides, it was autumn now and he didn't know when it would rain heavily. The adobe house at home would definitely not be able to withstand a heavier rainstorm.
So the house must be built as soon as possible!
"A blue brick and tile house? That's a house for rich families." Su Mu said hesitantly. In his heart, he just wanted to repair the house and add a few rooms if conditions permit. He couldn't even think about building a blue brick and tile house.
Lin Mo nodded, but still couldn't help but rub Su Mu's head, and said gently: "I am considered a rich man now. When you are better, there are still many things to do for you."
Su Mu's face flushed unnaturally. He nodded and secretly vowed to help Lin Mo: "Okay, I can help you with a lot of things tomorrow."
"I went out and learned something. Do you want to learn it now? I'll teach you."
"think."
He wanted to learn more so that he could help Lin Mo more!
"Then I'll get some pen and paper." Lin Mo was still not used to using the brush, so he made some charcoal pencils, which were most suitable for teaching Su Mu arithmetic.
