After processing the picked grapes, it was almost noon. Lin Mo went to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables. Lin Chen walked into the kitchen and started cooking.
Lin Xiaoya was sitting on a small stool, holding a pear in her small hand while gnawing her head up and staring at Cheng Da Tall Yan standing in front of her.
Lin Xiaoya buried her head in gnawing a few mouthfuls of large Sydney pears, and was about to chew while staring at Uncle Cheng when she saw him walking towards the gate.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoya felt a little anxious, and couldn't care less about the flesh in her mouth, so she turned her head and shouted towards the kitchen.
"Fourth Uncle... Uncle, come quickly, Uncle Cheng... I want to mess with you!"
After Lin Xiaoya yelled, she looked down at the fruit that had fallen on the ground, gnawed a mouthful of the fruit in her hand, and after chewing, she stood up and ran towards Cheng Yan awkwardly.
Lin Mo heard Lin Xiaoya's voice from the yard, put down his things and went out.
"Didn't you say you'll stay here for lunch?" Lin Mo asked, why did he have to leave now, even though he had made a good point just now.
"I'll go back and come back later." Cheng Yan pursed his lips.
Lin Mo nodded, and after Cheng Yan left, he led Xiaoya into the room.
"Stay here obediently with your brother and accompany your father, and fourth uncle will cook." Lin Mo said while stroking the child's head.
"Hmm..." Lin Xiaoya chewed with her mouth puffed, and nodded when she heard what Uncle Fourth said.
Lin Mo glanced at Lin Cheng who had just fallen asleep after drinking the medicine, and left the room.
"Brother, when will Daddy wake up?" Lin Xiaoya slowly walked to Lin Xiaonan's side and asked in a low voice.
Lin Xiaoya still had some fear in her eyes, she still remembered the blood on her father's body a few days ago.
The blood was more than the blood shed when the chicken was slaughtered at home. Lin Xiaoya thought that her father was going to die at that time, because in her impression, the chicken died after bleeding.
"Well... I woke up when I was eating." Lin Xiaonan thought for a while and said.
There are a lot of ingredients in the kitchen. Father Lin bought pork and big bones early in the morning. There is a family in the village who raises pigs, and they have to sell them in the town every day. Some villagers want to buy meat but don’t want to travel so far. Order it before they kill the pigs and let them keep some.
If the Lin family eats it, the meat plus some vegetables from the vegetable garden is enough, but now with Cheng Yan, it is obviously not enough.
Lin Mo thought for a while, went into the warehouse and took out a slightly larger piece of bacon from a row of bacon. Some of these bacon were small prey that Father Lin and Brother Lin went hunting in the mountains, and some were bought in the town to hang up to be cured. At that time, there were not many meat sellers in the town, so if you want to eat meat, you can only store it in advance.
Sometimes the Lin family would cut a little and fry it to satisfy the children's cravings.
Taking the bacon to the kitchen, Lin Mo put it in a basin and soaked it in warm water for an hour to remove the floating dust on its surface and reduce some of the saltiness.
"I'll go to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables, and you can watch the fire here." Lin Mo moved the pot of soaking bacon aside, took the vegetable basket, and told Lin Chen before walking out of the kitchen.
"Understood, fourth brother." Lin Chen nodded, and continued to stare at the fires in the two stoves. It takes a long time to stew the white radish bone soup, and there is also cooking.
Lin Mo walked into his own vegetable garden, picked a few handfuls of green vegetables and some cucumbers, some condiments such as peppers and tomatoes, and picked some edible vegetables and melons in the vegetable garden, and left after the vegetable basket was full .
When Lin Mo returned to the yard with a basket of vegetables, he saw Cheng Yan squatting aside to clean up a few fish, and there was still cleaned rabbit meat in the basin beside him.
When Lin Mo thought about it, he knew why he went back.
"Did you hunt the rabbit?" Lin Mo asked as he walked over to put down the basket.
"Well, I saw fish in the river when I came here and caught a few." Cheng Yan paused for a few seconds and said.
From what Cheng Yan knows, it seems that most of the brothers like rabbits, Lin Mo wouldn't like it too, right? Now he is still cleaning the rabbit meat in front of Lin Mo...
"Oh, please help me cut the rabbit meat into pieces. There is wine in the kitchen, you can put some wine in it and marinate it for a few minutes. For fish, one piece should be sliced into thin slices. It is best if there are no fish bones in it, and the rest can be cut into pieces... that's ok. ?”
After Lin Mo finished speaking, he remembered that the two of them didn't seem to know each other very well, so it didn't seem very good to bother him like this...
"En." Cheng Yan responded, quickly cleaned up the fish, and washed off the blood on the big stone board before taking it into the kitchen.
Lin Mo washed the vegetables in the basket and took them into the kitchen. After entering the kitchen, he just heard the voice of Lin's father and Lin's mother outside the door. Thinking about it, it was almost time for lunch.
"I'll go out and help move things." Cheng Yan saw Lin Mo walk in, and the already narrow kitchen was even more crowded. Fortunately, he heard the sound of them coming back outside the door, so Cheng Yan said that and went out.
Lin Mo nodded and made room for him.
"Achen, is the rice ready?" Lin Mo asked while chopping vegetables.
"It's almost there, just put a few more firewood on it."
"Well, turn on the fire and start cooking." Lin Mo quickly cracked the cucumber and cut it into pieces, as well as some condiments for later use.
With the help of Cheng Yan, Lin's father moved several baskets of fruit from two carts into the yard, and Lin's mother and sister-in-law Lin also carried them in together.
"A Xing, go back to the room and change your wet clothes." Mother Lin said loudly.
"Understood, mother." Lin Xing replied weakly, and dragged his exhausted body into the courtyard, but when he smelled the smell of meat from the kitchen, he instantly became refreshed.
"Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, do you have meat for lunch today? I can smell the aroma of meat." Lin Xing ran to the kitchen, put his hands on the door, took a few deep breaths, and looked excited.
"Didn't you already know? You asked me, go and change your clothes, and then come over to help watch the fire." Lin Mo was cooking neatly, and looked back at him.
"Okay, wait for me, I'll be fine soon!" Lin Xing ran into the room before finishing speaking.
In the room of Lin Cheng, the elder brother of the Lin family, two three-year-old children were sitting on a small stool beside the bed. Lin Xiaonan rested his chin on his hands and stared seriously at his father lying on the bed. Lin Xiaoya sat next to him, but turned to the door there.
"Brother, I can smell meat~" Lin Xiaoya grabbed Lin Xiaonan's clothes and tugged at them.
"Yeah." He smelled it too.
"Brother, grandpa and grandma are coming back to mess with them~" Not long after, Lin Xiaoya ripped Lin Xiaonan's clothes again.
"Oh." He heard it. Lin Xiaonan continued to stare at Daddy, but his head was already filled with the smell of meat.
When Lin Cheng woke up, all he saw was his youngest son staring at him, but he could tell where he had wandered off just by looking at his eyes, and the youngest daughter even faced the door directly.
"Brother, you can eat and mess with me. Is daddy awake?"
"No."
"Cough... Daddy is already awake." Seeing his son opening his eyes and talking nonsense, Lin Cheng reminded the two of them that he was already awake.
"Huh? Daddy's voice, Daddy woke up~" Lin Xiaoya heard the voice, turned around, and saw that Daddy lying on the bed had opened his eyes.
Lin Xiaonan came back to his senses, quickly stood up and walked over, with embarrassment in his eyes.
Lin Cheng got up slowly, got out of bed, and slowly walked out of the house under the tense expressions of his son and daughter.
Smelling the familiar scent, Lin Cheng was in a trance. It seemed that he hadn't eaten the food cooked by Mo Ge'er for a long time. He didn't expect that after his death, he was not taken away by ghost messengers, but returned to five years ago.
Yes, five years ago, at this time, the second brother was still a scholar, and his family was still in Daling Village, and his two children could still smile carefree.
"Daddy, the meat cooked by fourth uncle is the best~" Lin Xiaoya tightly grasped her father's clothes with her small hands, and walked out of the room with him.
"Is it more delicious than your mother's?" Lin Cheng smiled.
"Mother's cooking is also delicious." Lin Xiaonan said.
"Yes, both are delicious!" Lin Xiaoya agreed.
When Mrs. Lin moved things into the yard, she saw that her husband had already walked out of the house, and was sitting on a recliner, letting her daughter lie on her stomach.
"Why did you come out? Xiaoya, don't press on your father's wound." Mrs. Lin looked at her husband, and then said to her daughter.
"It's okay, I didn't hit it." Lin Cheng shook his head.
Outside the door, after moving the fruits on the cart, Father Lin took Cheng Yan and pushed the cart to the orchard to bring back the rest.
Father Lin and Cheng Yan are both strong men, pushing these baskets of fruit is easier than ordinary people. This time is just when other people come back from the field or from the town to eat. Father Lin and Cheng Yan are pushing The two carts of fruit are a bit conspicuous.
"Isn't this Brother Lin? Why do you think you came back after picking these fruits?" A man of the same age as Father Lin walked by carrying a hoe, and then slowed down to talk to Father Lin, followed by a few old men, but They didn't speak to Father Lin.
"Isn't it ripe? My brother Mo wants to tinker with something, but it will rot in the orchard anyway, so it's better to make it happy for Mo Ge." Father Lin said while pushing the cart.
"You and Mrs. Lin really dote on Mo Geer as always, but I heard from my family that you are going to find a husband for Mo Geer? Could it be Cheng Yan?" The man carried a hoe in one hand and helped with the other. Pushing, glanced at Cheng Yan who was pushing the cart in front, and asked in a low voice.
Cheng Yan is quite famous in Daling Village. He was rescued from the mountains by Father Lin a year ago, and then he lived in the village. But Cheng Yan is so cold in front of others that he can freeze people off. When I greeted him, he also took a look, and left without answering or nodding.
Because he is an outsider, he lives in the most remote place in the village, and he doesn't have a piece of land. He usually goes to the mountains to hunt, and people in the village will see him carrying prey to the town from time to time.
It stands to reason that people with this personality are the most unpopular in the village, but because they were basically rescued by Cheng Yan when they went up the mountain to hunt, and Cheng Yan and the Lin family have a good relationship, so Cheng Yan's life in Daling Village is relatively peaceful. , which probably has something to do with the simplicity of the villagers in Daling Village.
"I do have this plan, but we have to see what the two of them think." Father Lin lowered his voice. This kind of thing is still young, so it's not easy for too many people to know.
"Indeed, but you know the situation of Cheng Yan's family. You should think about it more. My brother is almost of age. Fortunately, he found him early in the morning. He is probably going to get married by the end of the year."
"So fast? Congratulations first." Father Lin smiled.
Father Lin and Mother Lin have indeed considered Cheng Yan's situation, but at present, only Cheng Yan's situation is more suitable for Mo Geer. Father Lin is thinking in his heart whether he should ask her daughter if there is any suitable one when he goes to town next time. Candidates.
Although Lin's father and the others had lowered their conversation a lot, it was no different to Cheng Yan, who had a strange martial arts, he heard what should be heard, even what should not be heard.
Cheng Yan, who understood what they said, paused, and the figure of that young man subconsciously appeared in his mind.
