Chapter 328 Spread - The Sickly Young Girl Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard

Lin Qing and Cen Xi got up early the next morning.

It wasn't that they didn't want to continue sleeping, it was just that it was too noisy outside and they were woken up.

So I just got up and washed up.

"Morning, Dad and Mom!"

"Are you up? Brush your teeth quickly! Breakfast is ready." Father Lin said as he sat there and ate his breakfast.

"Okay! Brother Nan and I will go right away."

After Lin Qing and Cen Xi washed up, they sat down to eat breakfast.

Sure enough, just as they had guessed last night, some children started hanging around outside.

"Mom!" Lin Qing thought her mother might have some good ideas, so she motioned her to look outside the door.

Mother Lin had anticipated this scene a long time ago. "Don't worry, I'm prepared. Just wait."

Then, while Lin Qing and Cen Xi were eating, they watched Lin's mother take out a cloth bag.

"What is this?"

Mother Lin opened the cloth bag and said, "These are the pumpkin seeds I fried myself. Give each of them a handful later."

"Pumpkin seeds~ kernels~? Are they from the pumpkins you bought earlier?"

"Uh-huh."

“That’s a lot!”

"Yes, this is my unique skill. No one else can cook it!"

"Awesome!" Lin Qing gave her mother a thumbs up.

Lin's mother really did what she said. As soon as she left the room, she gave each of the children outside a handful of pumpkin seeds.

The children didn't complain either, thinking that something was better than nothing. They always liked to visit houses and alleys during the New Year, walking along the entire alley. The gifts were not much, so it was good enough to have something.

After the children got the melon seeds, they all left laughing.

"Here, these melon seeds are for you. If there are more children coming to visit later, you can share them with them."

"Ah? For us? Dad and Mom, where are you going?"

"Haha! Of course I'm going to go chat with my old sisters! Okay, okay, I'll leave this to you. We're leaving." After saying this, Mother Lin pulled Father Lin away.

Lin Qing looked at the backs of Lin's father and mother in disbelief. How could they be so reassured?

Lin Qing turned to look at Cen Xi again, "They just left like that?"

"I think... maybe it's because we both had nowhere to go, so they left so gracefully."

"..." Lin Qing took a bite of the steamed bun angrily, and had to admit that what Cen Xi said made sense.

They really don't have anyone to visit, so they might as well stay at home!

"Don't worry, if you don't want to do it later, I'll do it."

"Okay, Brother Nan, I'll leave it to you later." Lin Qing didn't want to deal with a group of little brats.

"good!"

Cen Xi did what he said, and when the children in the alley came over to greet them during the New Year, he was responsible for distributing pumpkin seeds.

Fortunately, Lin's mother fried a lot of pumpkin seeds, and every child who came to their house got a handful at the end of the day.

Even so, some people are still dissatisfied, including some parents in their yard, the families in the front yard.

They were waiting expectantly for their children to bring something from the Cen family. Unfortunately, when the children returned home, they found out that what the Cen family gave them were just ordinary pumpkin seeds. Although they were rare, they were not what they wanted!

Then each family couldn't help but start mumbling.

"Why are you so stingy? You earn so much, but you don't even want to give me a candy. You just give me a handful of pumpkin seeds. Isn't that too perfunctory?"

"That's right, that's right. The couple's combined salary is 150 yuan, and they only gave this little as a New Year's gift to their children. They are really stingy."

…

Aunt Jiang, Aunt Gu and Aunt Su complained the most, but they never thought about their own family. However, they were not even prepared, so I don’t know where they got the nerve to criticize others.

Lin Qing and Cen Xi didn't know that they were being accused of cheating, but at least they were prepared! Besides, they didn't have any children, so even if they were prepared, they would have suffered a loss, okay?

Who is truly generous these days?

If you were really that generous, you would have been reported long ago, okay?

If you are really generous, people will wonder where your money, tickets, and supplies come from.

Lin Qing and Cen Xi have always been very honest. Even if they eat something delicious, they hide it very carefully. It's no big deal if they eat it once or twice, but if they eat it every day or eat meat every other day, it will attract other people's attention.

When greeting each other during the New Year this year, the topic everyone talked about most was the haunted incident in the alley last night.

Some people think that Zhang Mengzi was drunk and remembered it wrong, while others think that what Zhang Mengzi said was true. There are all kinds of discussions and opinions.

Of course, everyone was being secretive when talking about this topic.

Just like this, everyone was chatting happily at the beginning, and their voices couldn't be controlled to get louder. When they talked about the topic of last night, they began to look around, then slowly approached the person next to them and whispered in her ear.

Basically everyone does this.

Everyone was discussing in a low voice, passing on information in this way, and it seemed even more mysterious.

Although this matter has not been made public, everyone who wants to know knows it.

Osmanthus Lane became bustling again.

After hearing what happened last night, many people rushed over to see what this magical toilet really looked like.

Some of them not only walked around the toilet twice, but also went in to experience it.

Apart from looking relatively new, it is also quite ordinary. I don’t know why it has become so legendary?

Some people who refused to give up didn't notice any difference and went around in circles a few more times.

When Lin's mother came back and told Lin Qing about this incident, both mother and daughter couldn't help laughing.

"Mom, these people are so funny!"

"A little bit." When Lin's mother thought about what she had just seen, a strong man walked around the toilet twice, and then walked around twice more. If he hadn't had clear eyes and just wanted to walk around the toilet to see if there was anything different, the female comrades who went to the toilet would have wanted to shout that he was a hooligan.

"When they go to the restroom today, they should be more alert to prevent someone from taking advantage of the situation." Cen Xi still felt that it was a bit dangerous.

"Yes." Lin Qing nodded, "If I want to go, you can go with me."

"Okay!" Cen Xi had no problem with it.

"By the way, Dad and Mom, haven't we told you yet?" Lin Qing suddenly remembered that he hadn't told you about the ghost yet!

"What did you say?"

"We happened to see Qin Xianglian running back from outside when we went out last night, so we thought that the ghost Zhang Mengzi encountered might be Qin Xianglian."

"Ah..." Lin's father and mother did not expect that there would be such a thing.

So, what Zhang Mengzi encountered last night was not a ghost, but he just mistook Qin Xianglian for a ghost?

"Is Qin Xianglian sick? She's crying in the toilet in the middle of the night!" Lin's mother cursed in a low voice.
