"The Praya calendar is similar to Zhai Xing's." Su Lin lowered his head and said, "Every year at the beginning of February, it is the 'New Year'. The seafarers on the island will dry the fish caught by each household, set up a big banquet, start a big pot, slaughter livestock, make reunion dinners, and brew a kind of tea called 'Tenni'. They believe that as long as they gather together to eat reunion dinners and show the unity of the Praya people, the gods in the sky will be moved by them and give more fish and gold."
"Before I boarded the airship, my grandmother taught me how to make 'Tini' tea. It is also to mix milk and tea and roast it on the stove. The mashed potatoes in front of me are also an indispensable meal in the Praya celebration."
"February is here, Su Mingan."
After Su Lin said these words, he focused on stirring the potatoes and said no more.
This was the first time Su Ming'an saw Su Lin so serious. Even during the battle, Su Lin had never shown such a solemn expression.
It was simply... so focused that it was like a pilgrimage. The pair of dark golden pupils clearly reflected everything in front of them, as if through this pot of soup, they could see the sea and waves of another world.
Su Mingan then noticed that the Praya costume Su Lin was wearing today was mainly dark in color and had buttons. It turned out that this was the costume for the Praya celebration.
"Tini tea?" Su Mingan said.
"Well, it's a mixture of milk and tea. It tastes sweet and has a slight taste of sea salt. It's a favorite tea for fishermen after work." Su Lin checked the temperature. "My grandmother told me that the more raw materials for this tea, the better. As long as they are cooked together, it will be very nutritious."
Su Mingan watched quietly.
... Before Su Lin boarded the airship, he also had a "grandmother", as well as relatives and friends he cared about. When he first comforted Princess Tulip, he was also very gentle and felt reluctant to sacrifice the lives of others.
He can cook reunion dinners, make Teni tea, and call "Grandma". He was also once a resident of Praya, sitting with his family to eat and praying for blessings from God.
It was sixty years of suffering and lies that turned him into a god. Apart from the cold judgment on life, all that was left was the loneliness of watching over the island.
"I can take you back to Praia." Su Mingan said.
Su Lin immediately looked up: "When?"
He put down the pot in his hand, put his hand on Su Mingan's shoulder, and stared into Su Mingan's eyes:
"——When can I go back?"
It was the first time that Su Mingan saw Su Lin so excited. The light in Su Lin's eyes suddenly lit up like a candle, as if a black and white photo was suddenly tinged with color.
At this moment, seeing the surprise in Su Ming'an's eyes, Su Lin realized that something was wrong with his mood and let go of his hand.
"When you go back, I have to go back too, so you have to wait until I'm free. It's best to have a whole day free." Su Ming'an straightened the cloth on his shoulders.
"Okay." Su Lin said firmly, "Call me first."
His mood became very good, and his movements became much faster.
"With the noodles from Lin Yin, it should be enough. Then I'll make some broth." Su Mingan said.
"I'll help you." Lu Shu said immediately.
Under Su Mingan's command, Lu Shu threw all the vegetables, radishes, beef, pork, etc. from the plastic bag into the pot, just like he was dealing with the garbage on a garbage truck. Then, Su Mingan reached out to the seasoning area...
…
"——Ms. Lin Wangan."
Under the light blue curtains, a woman stood beside the white bed, the ring on her ring finger shining silver.
Next to her was a piano that had just been assembled.
"Ms. Lin Wangan, we have equipped you with the best piano according to your request." Lu Changshen, a member of the "Tianyu Department", one of the seven departments of the United Group Longguo Deployment Changjiang, smiled and said, "If you have any other requirements, you can tell us."
Lin Wangan tilted her head, her eyebrows always contained a melancholy. When she saw the piano, the melancholy on her face instantly dissipated, and her pupils seemed to be shining.
She walked to the piano and stroked the black and white keys carefully, her fingers moving from the far left to the far right, as if stroking her lover's skin. The love and madness hidden in her eyes frightened Lu Changshen.
Although she is a weak person, the moment she saw the piano, she burst out with an aura that sent chills down the spines of those around her.
“…very good.” Lin Wangan murmured, his eyes misty: “…very good.”
"Do you like it?" Lu Changshen recorded the scene in front of him into the detector on his chest, and then the profiler would conduct an in-depth analysis of it.
"I like it." Lin Wangan showed a smile that Lu Changshen had never seen before.
It was like... a withered tree suddenly blooming with colorful flowers. That smile was full of vitality, making people feel as if she had just come alive.
"As long as you like it." Lu Changshen gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Wangan. Only then did he realize that the woman's mental illness was so serious and she was already terminally ill. The madness in her eyes was like a flame, which made him feel that the madness that Su Mingan occasionally showed might also be inherited from this woman.
This family... what a pity, Lu Changshen thought secretly.
Looking at Lin Wangan who was very satisfied with the piano, Lu Changshen took a deep breath and said tentatively: "You see, during the Chinese New Year, the Long people will gather together for a reunion dinner. In this family, there is no overnight hatred. Even if there are some minor conflicts, they will be gone after the Chinese New Year."
Lin Wangan stroked the piano keys without saying anything.
Lu Changshen continued, "Your child has always lacked someone to care for him. Now that it's the New Year, he must miss you very much. This is the best piano that the United Group can get. It was almost impossible for Zhai Xing to get one before. He has practiced the piano for so many years, he must like it when he sees it. Ms. Lin, I have his contact information here, do you want to..."
