Chapter 157 Winter



After hearing Lin Changan's words, everyone laughed.

Lin Yunchu looked at the big guy, his brows curved, and he felt very comfortable.

There are many ways to eat potatoes. She will make a few more dishes in the future and let everyone in the Lin family try them.

The Lin family was very warm and cozy. In the home of the village head, the village head was sitting at the table, sighing as he looked at the bowl of potato chips that his wife Chen had just fried.

This made Chen, who had just served the dishes, a little confused.

What's wrong with my old man? He looked so happy when he went out in the morning. Why does he look so unhappy when he comes back now?

Could it be that the potatoes she made this morning were not tasty? No, that wasn't right. She had tasted them and they tasted pretty good. She had never eaten them before. She didn't know that such a lump could taste so good, and most importantly, it was filling.

After eating it in the morning, she didn't feel hungry the whole morning. It was actually more filling than eating porridge. It was a good thing.

She was very happy when she heard that the Lin family was willing to provide ten kilograms of potato seeds to every household in the village and teach everyone how to grow them.

"What's wrong? You're so gloomy, but what happened in the village?"

Chen couldn't help but speak. Seeing her old man like this, she felt uncomfortable. She wanted to hear what happened so that she could help with some ideas.

The village head raised his head and looked at Chen. Seeing her worried look, he couldn't help but sigh heavily. After a long while, he spoke in a low voice:

"Why are there only twelve households willing to follow the Lin family to grow beans? It's such a good thing, why can't they understand it?"

When the village head went out in the morning to inform each household about this matter, he was very excited. He thought that no one in the village would refuse.

After all, the family didn't have to spend money to buy seeds. The Lin family also taught everyone how to plant them. They even told everyone that growing potatoes in sandy soil would yield the best results. They didn't hide anything from the villagers.

Moreover, if more is planted in the future, the Lin family will be willing to purchase it. This is simply pie in the sky, how could anyone not be willing to do it?

As the head of Qingxi Village, he naturally wants the best for his village. Even if everyone doesn't trust the Lin family, how can they not trust him?

He still couldn't figure out what went wrong. He talked his mouth off, but in the end, only those twelve families agreed to grow potatoes with the Lin family.

When Chen heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she sighed softly like the head of the village.

Then he sat down, looked at the wooden face of the governor, and said softly:

"Everyone has their own ideas. When these twelve families finish growing their crops next year, the others will naturally follow suit after seeing them. Then you won't have to ask for anything."

After hearing what the headman had just said, Chen understood everything. Those remaining families who were unwilling to grow potatoes were simply afraid of being cheated.

Nowadays, every household has very little land, and I’m afraid no one believes that such a good thing can really happen.

Moreover, they need to use their own land to grow this unknown thing. I think they are afraid that if something goes wrong, it will affect their annual harvest.

"Don't even think about it. Didn't the Lin family say that these potatoes can be grown twice a year? We'll know the results when the first harvest comes next year."

Chen was not in a hurry at all. Each family had its own way of choosing. Now the Lin family had no intention of helping the people in the village.

If those people wait until next year and want to grow potatoes with the Lin family, there will be no free potatoes by then, and they will have to pay for them themselves.

"Okay, let's eat. Just relax about this."

After saying a few words of comfort, Chen stood up and called the rest of the family to come for dinner. The headman was stunned, thinking about what Chen said.

well.

This is all we can do now.

The days passed one by one, and when Lin's mother and Pan Xiuxiu finished making winter clothes for the whole family, Qingxi Village also welcomed the first cold wind.

As winter approached, fewer people went out to visit each other. The Lin family had prepared firewood, food and winter clothes long ago. This winter seemed to be the most comfortable one the Lin family had ever had.

At this time, everyone in the Lin family was sitting around in the house, with firewood burning in the middle, a tripod on top, and hot water boiling in the stove hanging on it, bubbling with steam.

"Is the firewood ready at Xiuxiu's house?"

Lin Wenshan rubbed his hands, turned over the sweet potatoes that were roasting by the fire, and thinking of the cold wind blowing outside, he raised his head and asked Lin Changting.

The Lin family has many people and they have enough supplies for the winter, so they won’t be cold or hungry.

There is only one person in the Pan family, Pan Qing, and he has difficulty walking. If there is anything missing, they can deliver it in time.

Lin Chang'an was lying on his father's lap, staring at the roasted sweet potatoes. It was such a blessing to sit by the fire and eat roasted sweet potatoes in such a cold day.

In previous years, these sweet potatoes were kept for meals, not roasted like this. When he smelled the fragrance, his appetite was aroused.

Lin Changting glanced at his younger brother, then turned to Lin's father and said:

"We have enough firewood and food. Xiuxiu and I just delivered the winter clothes and bedding this morning. I've checked them carefully, so you don't have to worry."

Pan Xiuxiu standing by also had a smile on her face. This winter was the most comfortable one for her, and she didn't have to worry about her father at all.

Lin Changting was more careful than her and had prepared all the necessary things long ago.

When they delivered the things in the morning, they saw that a fire had been lit in the house, so her father would not feel cold at all.

Moreover, Lin Changting would go over to see whenever he had time, and he would never hesitate to ask if there was anything missing or if there was any work that needed to be done at home.

Now, whenever Mr. Pan goes out and meets people, he always praises Lin Changting as a good son-in-law, who is no different from his own son.

Thinking of her own father's appearance, Pan Xiuxiu couldn't help but laugh secretly.

After hearing what Lin Changting said, Lin's father was relieved and focused on looking at the sweet potatoes he had roasted.

After a while, I saw that the sweet potatoes were cooked. The skin was baked crispy, and some of the charred skin had a little golden color, emitting an attractive aroma.

Father Lin waited until the sweet potato had cooled down a bit, blew off the dust on it, and gently broke it in the middle, splitting it in two and revealing the golden flesh inside.

"Yun Chu, give it to me!"

Father Lin first handed half of the sweet potato in his hand to Lin Yunchu who was standing beside him. After Lin Yunchu took the sweet potato from his hand, he handed the other half to Lin Changan who was staring at him eagerly.
