Lin Feng rode his horse to find Doctor Zhou and asked him to come to his house to see his sister and elder brother when he was free.
After Doctor Zhou agreed.
Seeing that it was still early, he went to the silver shop again. He had originally only ordered a pair of small silver bracelets, but Lin Feng decided to order another pair.
As soon as Lin Feng entered the room, the waiter came up to greet him warmly: "Sir, may I ask what you need? We can make all kinds of silverware here!"
Lin Feng took out the receipt for the last custom order and asked, "I asked you to help make a small silver bracelet last time. Is it ready?"
The clerk took the receipt, glanced at it, and replied repeatedly, "Okay, okay, please wait a moment, I'll go get it!"
Lin Feng stopped him and said, "I'd like to make another pair like the previous one. I wonder if I can make them today?"
The young man was very enthusiastic when a customer came to the door. After thinking for a moment, he said, "This plain silver bracelet is not complicated. If you are willing to wait, you can come back in an hour to pick it up!"
Lin Feng nodded in agreement, then led his horse to the academy gate to wait for his nephew to finish school.
On the other side, at the Li family, Li Yan and her aunt started preparing today's dinner.
Li Erlang, who had asked for two days' leave from County Magistrate Zheng, went to the market again and bought a lot of meat and vegetables, and also bought a few jars of wine on the way.
At this time, the kitchen was piled with a lot of pork belly, ribs and mutton bought by Li Erlang.
The sound of chopping meat came from the kitchen, and the aunt and nephew shared the profits and cooperated.
"Aunt, please prepare bigger portions for today's meal and invite grandpa, grandma, uncle and others to come over for dinner in the evening!" Li Yan said to her aunt.
My mother gave birth, and my grandparents, uncle and their whole family were busy and kept watch all night. They had to get together tonight to have some fun.
At this time, Guo came out of Lin's room and came to the kitchen to help. They were all people who couldn't sit still, so Li Yan didn't stop her.
There are no entertainment activities at home, and my aunt would feel uncomfortable just sitting there. It would be more relaxing to talk and do some work together in the kitchen.
Li Yan brought out the sprouted bean sprouts: "Aunt, please help me clean up the bean sprouts!"
Mrs. Guo took the newly sprouted bean sprouts and started working on them efficiently.
"Aunt, my uncle has sprained his waist. Have you finished farming the land at home?" Li Yan asked while busy with the work in her hands.
When talking about the fields, Mrs. Guo's expression darkened. Ever since her husband was injured, she had only had the energy to plant the best fields at home. There were still a few acres of inferior land that she hadn't had time to take care of. "It's almost done. I still have a few acres left to plant beans!"
"If you trust me, Aunt, please clear out some land. It doesn't have to be good land; slopes or wasteland will do. I've planted some high-yield crops this year, and one acre can yield over a thousand kilograms. I'll send some over when the vines grow in a few days!"
This stunned Guo, who asked in astonishment, "Are there really crops with a yield of over a thousand kilograms?"
"Aunt, just give it a try and you'll know!"
Thinking about the three acres of inferior farmland at home, which would not produce much in a year, after hearing what her niece said, Guo immediately made up her mind to give planting a try.
The three of them moved quickly, and soon the aroma wafted from the kitchen.
Li Yan took the stewed ribs out of the pot and put them into the steamer to continue stewing. Then she used the empty pot to cook other meat dishes.
When the sun was setting, Lin Feng and Lin Yan rushed back.
Seeing the two of them coming back, Li Yan said to Li Xiaomei, "Auntie, the food is ready!"
Braised spare ribs, braised meatballs, stewed lamb, stewed tofu, stir-fried bean sprouts, stir-fried bamboo shoots, a few plates of refreshing pickles, and baskets full of buns and steamed buns.
In order to make the children feel less restrained when eating, Li Yan placed another identical meal in the main room.
Li Yan invited everyone to eat, and Guo brought the chicken soup to the room, saying, "Drink it while it's hot. It won't be good if it gets cold!"
Perhaps it was because of the chicken soup that she was able to feed the child just now, which made Lin feel relieved.
If the child cries for milk at night, I can't call for help. Now I can feed him myself. It seems that what my sister-in-law said is right. If I want more milk, I still have to drink more soup and water.
Lin took the soup bowl and urged, "Sister-in-law, go out and eat. I have nothing to do!"
Before Guo could answer, Wu came into the room, took Guo's hand, and walked out: "Aunt, I'm waiting for you to eat, come with me!"
The adults were happily clinking glasses at the big table, while the children were eating with their mouths drooling at the small table.
Lin Qing looked at his sister with greasy mouth and hands, took out his handkerchief, and said helplessly: "Look at you, you eat like a little cat, you don't look like a girl at all!"
Lin Xia brought the sweet and sour pork ribs to her sister's mouth and said with a smile, "Sister, eat it, it's delicious!"
Li Yan looked at her little cousin with amusement: "Xiao Xia, do you like your aunt's house?"
Lin Xia nodded without thinking, took a gulp, and stuffed the ribs in her other hand into her mouth. Her bulging cheeks looked so cute.
After a few drinks, the men, who were originally a little reserved, started talking.
Lin An: "Brother-in-law, have you chosen names for these two children?"
Old Master Li knew that his daughter-in-law's eldest brother was a scholar, so his knowledge was self-evident. He quickly said, "Why don't his uncle come up with some names for the two children?"
At this time, Wu said, "This child is still young, so why not give him a nickname first?"
Guo also echoed: "Don't worry about the full name yet, let's pick a nickname first."
Li Yan then remembered that babies born at this time are prone to premature death. Generally, they are only given a nickname when they are just born, and will not be officially named until three months later or even later.
No one spoke for a moment, and everyone was concentrating on thinking, what nicknames should be given to these two children?
"Why not just call her Hutou or Huniu?" Li Yan, who was sitting at the small table, spoke up at this time.
Thinking of the two chubby babies, Mrs. Wu slapped her thigh excitedly, "Great, great, these are great nicknames! I hope my two little grandchildren grow up healthy and strong!"
When everyone heard these two names, they thought they were good, neither difficult to pronounce nor clichéd.
So the nicknames of the two children were happily decided!
After eating and drinking, Lin Feng wanted to take Lin Yan back to the city on horseback, but was stopped by Old Master Li: "It's dark now, how can we go into the city? You can take Brother Yan to stay at my place tonight."
Lin Feng thought so too, so he stopped refusing. The two of them followed Mr. Li back to settle down.
At night, Li Yan left her room to her two cousins and shared a room with her aunt. This arrangement was quite suitable.
