A few days later, Lin Cheng's injury was almost healed, so Lin Mo followed Mother Lin and the others to Zhang Yuanqing's house.
Lin Mo led Xiaoya and walked behind Mother Lin, while Lin Xiaonan grabbed his clothes with one hand and looked around. The two of them are only three years old, and there are very few opportunities to go out. It is natural to go to a strange place now. A little curious.
"Xiaoya, do you want a mother's hug?" Mrs. Lin asked while walking aside, stroking her daughter's head.
Lin Xiaoya looked up at her mother, then at her fourth uncle, her eyes were a little troubled.
"Go, it will be a long time before we arrive." Lin Mo let go of her hand, stroked her head, and gently pushed towards Mrs. Lin.
Seeing that his daughter was being hugged by his wife, Lin Cheng turned his head to look at his son, but Lin Xiaonan didn't look at him telepathically, but took Lin Mo's hand and continued to walk with him.
Lin Cheng: "..."
Not long after they walked, they met Cheng Yan who was coming from another path. Cheng Yan was still carrying two strong pheasants and a hare in his hands.
"Dacheng, are you going to town again?" Father Lin asked.
"No, go to Uncle Zhang's house." Cheng Yan shook his head and said.
After hearing this, Father Lin also understood that Cheng Yan would go hunting in the mountains every few days, and some people would pre-order game with him, or buy it from him before he took it to town, but there were not many such people.
"Big rabbit!" Lin Xiaoya, who was being hugged by her mother, naturally saw the big gray rabbit in Cheng Yan's hand, and said excitedly while pointing at it with her little finger.
As soon as Lin Xiaonan heard his sister's words, he looked away from other places, but his sight was blocked and he couldn't see it. Lin Xiaonan raised his head and tugged at Fourth Uncle's clothes.
"Huh? You want to see it too?" Lin Mo lowered his head and asked.
Lin Xiaonan nodded and looked at him without blinking.
"Let me do it." Lin Cheng picked up his son, Lin Xiaonan's eyes widened, and he also saw the things in Cheng Yan's hands.
"There's also a big chicken." Lin Xiaonan's eyes lit up.
They were all going the same way, and Cheng Yan also walked with them in the end. Lin's father and Lin's mother walked in the front, Lin Cheng and Lin's sister-in-law each held their children in the back, and beside Lin Mo were Lin Xing and Lin Chen.
However, when Lin Mo wasn't paying attention, Cheng Yan walked up to him, and Lin Xing and Lin Chen ran to the front at some point.
Lin Mo turned his head to look at him, remembering what Lin's mother said to him a few days ago. Cheng Yan likes him? I can't seem to see it.
"Are you... are you feeling better recently?" Cheng Yan said suddenly, his voice was low, as if he seldom spoke, and his voice was slightly hoarse.
"Huh?... Well, it's much better." Lin Mo nodded.
Then, after Lin Mo finished speaking, Cheng Yan did not have another sentence. Lin Mo glanced at him from the corner of his eye, feeling a little puzzled in his heart, did he really like him? Don't you always try to find topics to chat with when you like someone
So, all the way to Zhang Yuanqing's house, the two of them were also silent all the way, Lin Xing and Lin Chen kept talking all the way in front, but they were silent all the way here.
Lin Mo: ...
Is this really liking him? Why can't he feel it
When they arrived at Zhang Yuanqing's house, Lin Mo was brought into the house by Lin's mother. Mrs. Lin hugged her daughter and led her son to follow. Lin Xing and Lin Chen saw their partners as soon as they entered the yard, and they had already mixed in to play together.
When Lin Mo walked into the room, he saw almost half of the room's people standing inside. There are men and women, but the men should all be brothers. Now Lin Mo can probably tell the difference between a brother and a man from his appearance.
The room was full of strangers, Lin Mo felt a little uncomfortable, but he has no place to stay when he goes out now, so he can only try his best to adapt.
Lin Mo was sitting on the side playing with Xiao Nan. There were wedding candy cakes and some snacks on the table. Lin Xiaoya walked over with small steps, tugged at the people on the side, and looked up at him.
"Big Brother, Xiaoya wants to eat candy." Lin Xiaoya said expectantly.
"Which family are you from? It's so cute." A certain brother brought her some wedding candy and asked with a smile.
"Ah? I don't know, thank you, big brother." Lin Xiaoya said with a blank face, holding the candy with her two little hands together, thanked him, and then walked to Lin Mo's side.
"Fourth Uncle, eat candy!" Lin Xiaoya held the candy and handed it to Lin Mo, grinning, two small dimples on her face looming.
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, looking at the smile on Lin Xiaoya's face, he inexplicably felt a warm current flow through his heart.
Lin Mo took it and fed one to each of them, and held the others in his hands. Lin Xiaoya lay on Lin Mo's lap, her mouth was bulging, and she babbled from time to time. Lin Xiaonan didn't know where to find a small stool, so he sat next to Lin Mo.
The other brothers who had been paying attention to Lin Xiaoya, a lovely girl, also saw Lin Mo sitting aside, with some doubts in their eyes. Obviously, they didn't know who Lin Mo was.
There were also a few aunts who had met Lin Mo, so they dragged Mother Lin to chat.
They heard the conversation between the other aunts and Lin's mother, and looked at Lin Mo's overly white face, and guessed something in their hearts, but no one went to talk to him.
Lin Mo didn't wait long, when he heard people outside calling them to go out for dinner, Mrs. Lin came to pick up Xiaoya and went out, Lin Mo led Xiaonan out of the house.
It was noon at this time, and the sun was a little bright. As soon as Lin Mo went out, he was blinded by the sun outside.
Lin Mo has never participated in any wedding banquet, and he doesn't know what kind of wedding banquet in the countryside is like. But when they saw the tables in the yard, most of the people were already sitting there, and there seemed to be no empty seats.
Lin Mo picked up Xiao Nan and followed his sister-in-law, carefully avoiding people walking back and forth. Lin's father, Lin Cheng, was sitting in a slightly biased position, but the position was good, in a shaded place, and he would not be too exposed to the sun while eating.
Cheng Yan was alone, so he sat at the table of the Lin family. The other brothers who were sitting in their seats looked at Cheng Yan from time to time, seeing Lin Mo sitting next to Cheng Yan, their eyes were full of jealousy and envy.
Unexpectedly, the person Cheng Yan likes is really the sick brother of the Lin family.
After the meal, there were still a series of things to do, but Lin Mo felt bored and didn't want to stay any longer, so he left with Cheng Yan after talking to Mother Lin.
Because he was worried that something might happen to Lin Mo on the way back, Father Lin asked Cheng Yan to accompany him back. The two walked side by side, Cheng Yan glanced at Lin Mo out of the corner of his eye, but couldn't say what he wanted to say.
Cheng Yan walked all the way with him, and struggled all the way, until he was about to arrive at Lin's house, he still couldn't say anything, he was relieved and at the same time a little bit disappointed.
"Cheng Yan..." Lin Mo suddenly stood still, turned around and looked up at Cheng Yan.
"Huh? What... what's wrong?" Cheng Yan was a little unnatural by his straightforward eyes, but fortunately his expression didn't change.
"You like me?" Lin Mo looked at him steadily and asked.
Cheng Yan's thoughts were spoken out bluntly by him, his heart trembled inexplicably, his ears gradually heated up, and he had the urge to avoid his eyes.
"Well, I like you." Cheng Yan forced himself to look at him calmly, and nodded in response. Little did he know, however, that his red ears had betrayed him.
Lin Mo looked at the ear that was opposite to his calm expression, inexplicably wanted to laugh.
"Why do you like me?" Lin Mo asked. He doesn't think there is anything about him that the other party likes, and it seems that they haven't met more than ten times, right
"... I can't tell." Cheng Yan heard him ask this, thought for a while, but found that he didn't seem to know the reason why he liked Lin Mo.
"Then what went through your mind when you realized you liked me?" Lin Mo asked after thinking about it.
"Seeing you cry makes my heart hurt, and seeing you hurt makes my heart feel suffocated, and then I realize... I like you." Cheng Yan looked at him with seriousness in his eyes.
Hearing Cheng Yan's words, Lin Mozheng stared at him blankly, speechless for a while.
"Because of my physical condition... I can't have children, do you mind?"
Cheng Yan heard what he meant, and his eyes lit up, "I don't mind!"
"Okay, I'll tell my parents about the two of us." Lin Mo thought through something, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Cheng Yan had never seen Lin Moxiao before, but seeing him now he was a little lost. Cheng Yan felt that he wanted to add one more, to make him happy all the time, to keep his smile on his face forever.
…
After Lin Mo regained his mentality, it has been a few days since he said to make jam and dried fruit. The half-ripe fruits in the fruit forest are now ripe, and the ones that were green before are now powdery.
When Lin Cheng confessed to Lin Xiu and Lin Mo before, Lin Cheng had already told everything. Lin Mo also knew that Lin Cheng would be in charge of their family's business, so he consulted with him.
"There will be a Lantern Festival in seven days, we can sell it in the town." Lin Cheng thought for a while and said.
"Lantern Festival?" Lin Mo looked at him suspiciously.
Lin Cheng knew his situation, so he didn't say anything, and explained to him, "We have a Lantern Festival every year in Yu Country, but the time is different in different places..."
There is another saying for the Lantern Festival, which is the Blind Date Festival. All unmarried men, women, and men can come out on the night of the Lantern Festival, and if they see each other, they will give each other flowers.
The Lantern Festival is also the time when vendors make the most money, such as trinkets, lanterns, or some exotic pastries and snacks. There are also various activities, such as guessing lantern riddles, painting poems, and competitions.
So that night was the most profitable night, Lin Cheng knew that if they went to set up a stall, they would definitely make money very quickly.
"If this is the case, in addition to jam and dried fruit, we can also make some fruit-flavored pastries, fruit juice, or other things." After hearing this, Lin Mo thought for a long time and said.
"The town was basically full of young people that night, and they certainly wouldn't worry too much about buying it," Lin Cheng added.
For brothers, women and children, they will definitely not be able to refuse some novel things.
"Then what do you think the elder brother should do?" Lin Mo didn't think much about these things that required brainstorming, and he was tired.
"Let's do a part first. We can sell and promote at the time of the Lantern Festival. Didn't you say that Ningxi is already helping us find a store? After we become famous, we can start selling things in the store after the Lantern Festival. "
"Well, what then?" Lin Mo asked.
"Then buy the remaining fruits from the villagers in the village, and you don't need to tell me what happened after that," Lin Mo said.
"Brother, why did you say that you don't have business talent before..." Lin Mo looked at him in doubt, and there were modern insinuations in some of Lin Cheng's ideas.
"You taught me these things, I'm nothing, Ah Chen is the best, and you'll know when you teach him later." Lin Cheng shook his head and said. What he has learned is only superficial. Compared with him, Lin Chen's business talent is amazing. Even Lin Mo in his previous life is full of praise for him.
However, now Lin Mo hasn't started teaching, and Lin Chen hasn't started learning, so he can only think of this.
Moreover, Lin Cheng's ultimate goal is to become an imperial merchant. He knew that two years later, the emperor of Yu Kingdom would suddenly start to pay more attention to the aspect of doing business, and began to set up an 'imperial merchant assessment'.
Lin Cheng was bound to win it. Wasn't it because Lin Xiu was framed back then because he had no background? The relationship between the imperial merchant and the imperial court is close, even if they want to frame him again, they have to weigh the stakes.
It's just that two years seems not enough.
After Lin Cheng told Lin Mo what he was thinking, he finally said, "Fourth brother, maybe you can start to let Ah Chen learn from you now."
"Imperial Merchant? Brother, are you serious?" Those who become monks like them can compete with a family that has been merchants for several generations
"It's not just about picking one." It is precisely because of this that Lin Cheng has such an idea.
"This matter has to be discussed in the long run. Let's talk about it after the Lantern Festival."
