"You just got back, and you're going out again?" Lin Yiheng asked in surprise.
"Yes, I'll only feel at ease if I go and take a look."
After all, she has a lot of information in her space, so even if she encounters a problem, she can still look up information, and the cost of trial and error is much lower than that of Lin Shuo and the others.
Knowing he couldn't persuade her otherwise, Lin Yiheng stopped trying to dissuade her and instead reported on his work over the past period.
"The rapeseed harvest in each village is going well. About 70-80% of the rapeseed has been harvested. Once the weather is good, it will be dried for another two days and then the husks will be removed."
This result was roughly in line with her initial estimate.
"In areas that were not affected by the disaster or suffered little damage, such as our Longtan County, the rice seedlings that were planted have already grown to about an inch tall. The fields have been flooded, and we can start tilling the land in the next couple of days..."
The two chatted until it got dark, when Lin Yibo came over and knocked on the door.
"Big brother, Sister Anan, dinner is ready. Grandma is calling you to come out and eat."
Lin Yiheng said loudly, "Okay, we'll be right there."
He then stood up and said to Lin Yinan, "That's all I have to say. Let's go eat first. Tomorrow, you should go to the county government office again to hear about Yuanzhi and Qingfeng's work arrangements for this period of time."
"Okay, no problem."
When the door opened, Lin Yibo was still waiting outside, carrying a lantern.
He is twelve years old this year, and his height has increased considerably; he is already a young boy.
Upon seeing Lin Yinan, he smiled shyly, "Sister A-Nan, you're back!"
Lin Yinan smiled at him, "Yes, I came back this afternoon."
Upon entering the living room, Lin Yirong, who works at the brewery, and Lin Yichun, who had gone out to have fun, also returned. The two of them greeted Lin Yinan together.
Ms. Zhang was still at the Longtan Hotel, and she usually didn't go home until the hotel closed at the end of the 5-7 PM.
Apart from Grandma Zhao and her daughter-in-law, and Lin Yinan and his siblings, the whole table was filled with teenagers and family members. Grandma Zhao didn't bother with two separate tables because she didn't want the hassle.
Li Shulan held Yun Shijiu and fed her soft rice and shredded meat.
One bite after another, Yun Shijiu found the food very appetizing.
"This child has a good appetite. Look, he's already eaten half a bowl," Li Shulan couldn't help but praise.
Lin Yinan was worried that she wouldn't be able to digest it properly, so she said, "Mom, let her stop eating now. She might have trouble digesting it tonight."
"Oh dear! She wants to eat, but you, her mother, won't let her. Poor little Nineteen, having such a heartless mother."
Li Shulan said to Yun Shijiu with dissatisfaction, which amused her, and she kept fiddling with her little toes.
Grandma Zhao placed a piece of food into Lin Yinan's bowl.
“Anan, just eat your food. Your mother often goes over to feed her. She knows how much to eat, so don’t worry about it.”
Lin Yinan had no choice but to pick up her bowl and eat her own meal.
At the dinner table, Lin Yibo secretly gave Lin Yi'an a wink.
Lin Yi'an turned to look at Lin Yinan and asked in a low voice, "Sister, is it scary when a hurricane comes in Xihe County? The wind in Longtan County is only a little bit stronger than in winter, and it's not as scary as the teacher said."
Lu Changqing and Lin Yibo, along with the other younger ones, nodded and stared at her with wide eyes.
There were no outdated rules like "no talking while eating" or "no talking while sleeping" at the Lin family's dinner table.
Lin Yinan's cool gaze swept over the group of children. "Because the hurricane didn't make landfall in Xihe, but because Xihe is near the sea, when the hurricane hit, everyone had to stay indoors and dared not go out. At the strongest winds, more than half of the roofs of the camp were blown off..."
In her description, the children were all terrified, their eyes wide and mouths agape.
"I didn't know hurricanes were this powerful!" Lin Yibo exclaimed.
Finally, Lin Yinan said, "Therefore, we must always maintain a sense of awe towards nature."
“Eat! The food is getting cold, and you're still talking.”
Grandma Zhao listened with great interest, but when she came to her senses and saw that everyone had barely eaten any rice, she became dissatisfied and spoke in a very stern tone.
The children looked at each other, then lowered their heads and shoveled rice into their mouths.
After dinner, Lin Yinan was about to carry Yun Shijiu back home when she ran into Zhang Shi, who was returning from work, at the gate.
"Second Aunt!"
Zhang smiled and said, "I heard you were back this afternoon, but unfortunately the restaurant was too crowded today, and I couldn't get away. Have you eaten yet?"
"We just finished eating and are about to take Nineteen back to rest."
At this moment, Yun Shijiu, who had been excited all afternoon, yawned, rubbed his eyes frantically with his chubby little hands, and buried his head in Lin Yinan's arms.
"Then go back quickly." Zhang waved her hand.
As Lin Yinan stepped out the door, she heard Zhang calling her from behind.
"Anan!"
She turned to look at Zhang Shi, "Second Aunt, what's wrong?"
Zhang's hands unconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes; she looked nothing like the efficient and capable manager she had been during the day.
After a long pause, Zhang hesitated and said, "Anan, we haven't heard from your second uncle for a long time."
"Don't worry, Auntie, I'll be heading to Chian in the next couple of days."
"You're going to Chian?"
"Okay, let's go take a look."
"Wouldn't that be too much work? Or, we could have a bodyguard go?" Zhang murmured.
She knew it was hard for a girl to run around outside and face all sorts of difficulties.
Lin Yinan's expression softened. Afraid of disturbing her sleeping daughter, she said softly, "It's alright, I'll go and check on her myself to put my mind at ease."
Zhang knew that it was difficult to persuade her once she made up her mind, so she said, "Don't force yourself to rest. Shijiu is asleep now, so you should go back and rest early."
She hadn't walked far from the Lin family's house when she saw the Qianxia sisters, who had come to meet her with lanterns.
"Girl, your hand has just healed, don't tire it out, let me carry you."
Qianxia Yun Shijiu fell asleep. She handed the lantern to Qianwu and reached out to hug her from Lin Yinan's arms.
