Upon arriving at Linjia Village, Lin Momo instructed the driver to take the car directly to Linjia's field.
She guessed that Grandpa Lin was leading Lin Gensheng and his son to work in the fields, so she wouldn't find them at home.
The country path was difficult to walk on, and the driver finally managed to get the mule cart to the edge of the Lin family's field. Lin Momo was already dizzy from the jolting.
Fortunately, she had put the prepared food into her spatial storage early in the morning, otherwise it would have been spilled everywhere.
Time had long since leaped forward, striding ahead of the slowly crawling mule cart with its long legs.
The fields owned by the Lin brothers were all adjacent to each other.
To take care of his second son, who was recovering from a leg injury and unable to do heavy work, this year Old Master Lin united his sons into one family, and the several branches of the family worked together to cultivate the land.
The Lin family members in the fields spotted Shi Guang and the mule cart behind him from afar and excitedly shouted to Old Master Lin:
"Father, Er Ya and her husband are back!"
"Master, my sister Er Ya is back."
While shouting, they dropped their farm tools and excitedly headed towards the fields.
Before they knew it, the sun was already high overhead, and they could take a break after working all morning.
Hearing his children and grandchildren calling out, Old Master Lin was overjoyed. Without even wiping the sweat from his brow, he straightened his hunched back, shaded his eyes with his hand, and looked out over the edge of the field.
Once he realized that it really was his own two children, Er Ya and Guang Yao, he immediately grabbed a hoe and headed to the field.
Although he told his granddaughter not to come back to see him, the old man was genuinely happy to see his granddaughter and grandson-in-law come at this time.
This shows that their granddaughter didn't marry the wrong person and is doing quite well in the Shi family.
Otherwise, one cannot simply go back to one's parents' home whenever one wants.
She even brought her grandson-in-law along; it seems the young couple gets along quite well.
That's good, that's good.
The old man finally didn't ruin his granddaughter's life.
The ridge in front of the field was a bit narrow, and the mule cart couldn't pass. Lin Momo jumped off the cart and took out the food boxes that had been moved to the cart and put them on the ground.
After paying the fare, they sent the mule cart from the carriage company away.
She and Shiguang each carried two heavy food boxes as they walked towards the Lin family's field.
There are four more on the ground; I'll come back and get them later.
To everyone's surprise, it didn't take long for people to run up to the two of them and rush to take the food boxes.
Little Stone rushed forward first, grinning, and said, "Sister Er Ya, I'll help you carry it!"
"Brother-in-law, let me help you carry it!"
"I want to carry it too, I want to carry it too."
The sons of my third and fourth uncles arrived a little later and also insisted on working.
Shi Guang smiled and reassured them, "Stop arguing, there are four more behind. Go and carry them. Just be gentle and don't spill the food."
The country children had never seen a food box before and didn't know what was inside, but they instinctively felt that there must be something good inside.
Upon hearing that it was food, they were overjoyed, their mouths practically agape in delight.
"Got it, brother-in-law!" the group replied with a laugh, and immediately ran past the two men toward the food box.
Lin Momo and Shiguang deliberately arrived at mealtime, because if they came too early, the food would get cold.
Although the weather is not cold, eating cold food, especially cold food containing meat, can easily make you sick.
Grandpa Lin chuckled and complained to the two of them, "You're here, so why did you bring so much stuff?"
Several uncles who had gathered around also chimed in.
"Grandpa, Sister Er Ya has brought us food!" Shi Tou, who had caught up, excitedly reported to his grandfather, holding up the food box in his hand.
"Deliver food? It's such a long way, why are you two kids delivering food? Peach Blossom and Er Ya will bring the food over in a bit."
It's come from such a long way, it'll be cold by the time it arrives.
But when the Lin family washed their hands and sat down to eat, they found that the food and flatbread they took out of the food box were still warm, as if they had just come out of the pot.
Looking at the tempting dishes and smelling the enticing aroma, the hungry crowd immediately began to wolf down their food, afraid of missing out on a piece of meat or a golden, crispy fried pancake.
There was no time to think about how the food could be kept so hot.
Previously, the sons and daughters-in-law were dissatisfied with the old man's favoritism towards the second wife, but this meal, which was a delicacy that only wealthy men in the city could enjoy, basically dispelled their resentment.
She and Shiguang had already eaten at home.
Grandpa Lin insisted that the two of them eat a fried dough stick before he would stop.
The entire Lin family was enjoying their meal to the fullest.
Lin Taohua and Sanya, along with several children, laboriously carried earthenware pots and bamboo baskets to deliver the food. Seeing the food everyone was eating, they couldn't help but drool with envy.
The boys were so hungry they tried to squeeze into the crowd.
"Sister Peach Blossom, bring them over here!" Outside the fan circle, Lin Momo quickly stopped them and a few boys, taking out the food she had saved for them from the food box.
The villagers in the nearby fields looked on with envy, and a pang of jealousy rose in their hearts.
"Tsk tsk, look at the Lin family. Er Ya married into a good family, and the whole family is benefiting from it!"
"That's right. During the busy farming season, she can bring her son-in-law back to her parents' home to bring wine and meat. My daughter can't compare. After she got married, it's difficult for her to even go back to her parents' home."
"Er Ya married a rich young master. Which of our daughters is as lucky as Er Ya!"
Look at that family, they're just focused on eating, not saying a word, and their mouths are all greasy.
They all wanted to peek over and see what good food the Lin family was eating, but they were also a little embarrassed.
At that time, what difference was there between them and beggars?
Although my family is poor, we still have some sense of pride.
There are those who have a sense of shame, and naturally there are also a few shameless ones who want to freeload.
Seeing that there were still quite a few crispy fried cakes left, Grandpa Lin asked his grandson to deliver two to each household.
He had just seen that his granddaughter had prepared a lot of food, and he was thinking of sending a bowl of dishes to each family, but before he could even speak, his children and grandchildren had already started eating.
Each person swung their chopsticks so fast they seemed to fly, and in the blink of an eye, half the meat in the bowl was gone.
It's like a locust swarm passing through.
Old Master Lin had no choice but to give up.
Even though she had anticipated the Lin family's ferocious appetite, Lin Momo was still astonished when she witnessed it firsthand.
She secretly rejoiced that she and Shi Guang had eaten first, otherwise they wouldn't even have been able to compete with the children for the food.
Fortunately, knowing that people eat a lot during the busy farming season, she prepared large quantities of every dish, and there were plenty of flatbreads as well.
Otherwise, there won't be any cakes to share with others.
After the Lin family had a hearty meal and rested for a while, they went back to work in the fields.
Those who had been closely following the Lin family's movements were even more envious.
"Hey, Aunt Tian, look! Er Ya's son-in-law has even picked up a hoe and is working in the fields with the Lin family!"
"How can the young master go out to work in the fields?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, what an amazing son-in-law! He doesn't have the airs of a rich young master at all. He doesn't mind getting his clothes dirty from the yellow soil, and he's even willing to endure this hardship."
"Sigh, my three sons-in-law all toil in the fields, and not one of them is willing to lend a hand during the busy farming season. They can't compare, they can't compare at all!"
