Lin Mo said he was afraid of dogs just to find an excuse to stick to Su Mu, just like when he went to the mountains to chop wood and said he was afraid of the wild beasts in the mountains, his purpose was just to make Su Mu pay more attention to him.
But Su Mu was a practical man. He thought Lin Mo was really afraid of dogs. When passing by a house with a dog, he would quietly isolate Lin Mo on the other side.
When he heard the dog barking in the house, he looked around vigilantly. If you didn't know him, you would think he was going to fight with the dog!
Lin Mo was holding the bucket, with a doting smile on his lips. He stared at the small figure with burning eyes, and his chest was full of heat, as if it was about to overflow.
As the sun sets, the entire Maolin Village is bathed in golden light. Farmers working in the fields gradually return home, carrying their hoes. They walk in groups of three or two, and their conversations are all about the crops from the fields.
The people at the Lin family construction site also finished work and went home. Smoke rose from every household as they were busy preparing dinner for the whole family.
When the two arrived home, everyone in the family had also returned. Lu Amo was busy cooking dinner in the kitchen, and Lin Wu was chatting with Tang Le in the yard.
"Third brother, Brother Mu, you are back." Lin Wu saw Lin Mo at a glance, and ran forward happily to take the wooden barrel from Lin Mo's hand.
Looking at the fish in the bucket, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "So many fish, each one as big as the other, enough for our family to eat for several days. Great! Mu Mo has been learning to cook these past few days, so he has to go to the village entrance to buy fish every day. I'm thinking of finding time to catch some myself."
There is a small open space at the entrance of the village. On weekdays, villagers will take the extra things at home to set up stalls there. Because there are many people in Maolin Village, and there are people who kill pigs and make tofu in the village, it can be regarded as a small market.
The village is quite far from the town, so generally everyone tries to exchange things in the village if they can be exchanged there.
"No wonder so many children in the village have been catching fish in the river recently. You've already spent money to buy them. Why waste money? Next time you need fish, just tell me and I'll bring it to you, free of charge."
Tang Le's hoarse voice sounded, his brows slightly furrowed, and he strongly disapproved of Lin Wu spending money to buy fish. In his opinion, this was a waste of money.
"Thank you, Brother Tang, but I won't bother you with these little things. You're still busy at the construction site right now. I can't bear to ask you to help me catch fish at night. Besides, I have other things to ask of you, Brother Tang."
Lin Mo asked Tang Le to sit on the chair and looked Tang Le up and down. It had been a while since they last met, and Tang Le's muscular body had become even more puffy. This old short shirt was made more prominent by his full muscles. Combined with his height which was almost the same as his own, he did have a very imposing aura at first glance.
Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction. Tang Le was an upright person, but he looked very wild. When he glared, he looked even more ferocious. If you didn't know him, you would think he was the big shot in the gambling house.
"Lin Mo, I heard from Xiao Wu that you have something to talk to me about. Just tell me. If there is anything I can do to help, I will definitely do my best."
Tang Le's voice was sonorous and powerful. Even when he was sitting on the chair, he kept his back straight and his face did not show much expression. Like Su Mu, he was the type who did not show much expression but was efficient at work.
Lin Mo grinned and said, "Thank you, Brother Tang. I was not in good health before and could not help with the family affairs. Fortunately, Brother Tang has been taking care of me these years."
Lin Mo thanked Tang Le again, his words were sincere and his attitude was humble. He was really grateful to Tang Le.
The original owner stayed at home almost all year round to recuperate and could not do any heavy work. Lin Wu often ran around outside looking for a job, so Tang Le often helped take care of the work on the Lin family's fields.
"Lin Mo, don't be polite. This is just a small matter. Now that you've recovered, your life will get better and better."
"Yes, Brother Tang is right."
"Yeah, that's right."
“…”
Tang Le nodded, pursed his lips and stopped talking. He was not good at socializing. After thinking for a long time, he didn't know what to say to Lin Mo. He could only frown and fell silent.
"Hey, Third Brother, don't talk to Brother Tang Le about this. He doesn't like chatting with people and doesn't talk much. You can't get anything out of him even if you ask him to. Just ask him to do it. Brother Tang Le is very kind-hearted and will do anything you ask him to do."
Lin Wu's hearty laughter rang out in the yard. While laughing, he patted Tang Le's shoulder, making Tang Le, a rough man, blush.
"I see. I haven't communicated with Brother Tang Le much, so I don't know much about his personality. In that case, please sit in the yard for a while. I'll cook today and show you my cooking skills."
Tang Le hurriedly shook his head when he heard this: "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. You don't have to keep me for dinner. I'll go home and eat soon."
Working at the Lin family, not only is the salary high, the lunch is also good, and you can also... Seeing that person every day, he feels that he is getting a great deal. Even if Lin Mo doesn't pay him, he will go to help. How can he even eat dinner at his place?
"Brother Tang Le, don't say that. You just got off work and Xiao Wu dragged you here. If you don't eat dinner, I won't be able to bother you to help me."
Tang Le frowned. Life was not easy for anyone these days. On weekdays, the villagers would not go to other people's homes for dinner unless they had nothing to do. Besides, he had a big appetite, so it was really embarrassing for him to stay for dinner.
Before he could speak, Lin Mo continued, "Brother Tang Le, if you are willing to help me, please stay for dinner. After dinner, I will tell you in detail what I want you to do."
Seeing this, Tang Le could only nod and said in a somewhat restrained voice: "In that case, I'll trouble Sanlang."
After leaving someone behind, Lin Mo immediately shouted towards the kitchen: "Lu Amo, don't cook yet. I'll cook tonight. You just need to cook the rice and steam the steamed buns."
Hearing the voice, A-Mo Lu immediately stuck her head out and replied, "Okay, then I'll light the stove for Master San first."
Lin Mo nodded. What he hated most about cooking here was making fire. In the beginning, he always burst into tears because of the smoke from the firewood he couldn't light properly.
"Where are Awen and Tuanzi? Big brother hasn't come back yet?"
Lin Wu immediately responded, "Big Brother is making clothes in the room. Awen and Tuanzi are out playing and haven't come back yet. They've been gone for a while and they should be back soon."
"Then you sit with Brother Tang Le in the yard for a while. I'll go cook. Mu Mu, you've been busy all afternoon. Go back to the house and rest for a while."
As he said that, Lin Mo took the fish from Su Mu's hand and pushed him into the house.
Su Mu blushed and dodged Lin Mo's touch, whispering, "The fish are still in the bucket. I'll move them to the water tank first."
Before he could move, Lin Mo's eyes fell on Lin Wu, and Lin Wu immediately jumped up reflexively and shouted, "Brother Mu, Brother Mu, don't move, let me do it. It's in the yard. I can take care of it in a moment. You go and rest first."
