After asking all the questions, Cheng Yan also left. Father Lin knew that Cheng Yan came here not only to find them, but also Brother Mo. So Father Lin asked Mo Geer to send him out.
When the two walked outside, Cheng Yan stopped and turned his head to look at him.
"Uh... anything else to tell me?" Lin Mo asked doubtfully.
"Do you have any requirements for the house?" Cheng Yan asked.
"Huh? Why do you ask that?" Lin Mo was puzzled. For him, as long as the house can be lived in, he doesn't care about other things.
"I bought a piece of land near your house. I'm planning to build a new house these days, so I wanted to ask you what you think." Cheng Yan looked at him and asked seriously.
The place where he lives now is the most remote place in the village, and it is far away from the Lin family. Cheng Yan worries that Lin Mo will have some troubles if he wants to go home to see his parents in the future. What's more, the house he lives in is too simple, and it's okay to live alone. It's definitely not okay for Lin Mo to live with him.
So Cheng Yan is planning to build a new house in the last few days. A few days ago, he bought a piece of land from Li Zheng, which is near Lin's house. This house is where he and Lin Mo will live in the future, and Cheng Yan wants to ask Lin Mo what he thinks about the construction of the new house.
"...I'll go back and think about it. You come to me tomorrow morning, and I'll go with you to see how the place is." Lin Mo said after thinking for a long time.
"Okay." Cheng Yan nodded.
Then, Lin Mo looked at him steadfastly, without blinking his eyes, Cheng Yan was a little nervous when he looked at him. After a long time, a faint smile slowly appeared on Lin Mo's face, and the smile really reached his eyes.
Cheng Yan looked at him in a daze for a long time.
"Cheng Yan..." Lin Mo suddenly said.
"What... what?" Cheng Yan came back to his senses and said with force of composure.
"I found out... I like you too." After Lin Mo finished speaking, he turned and went back without waiting for him to say anything.
Therefore, Lin Mo naturally didn't see it either. Cheng Yan's ears turned red the moment he turned around.
Lin Mo found that when Cheng Yan said those words just now, his heart throbbed for a moment.
The next morning, just after Lin Mo finished his breakfast, Cheng Yan came over. It has to be said that Cheng Yan's timing was very accurate.
"There are still some buns on the table, help me finish them, I'll go into the house to get something." Lin Mo stood up and took the bowl to the kitchen, glanced at Cheng Yan, and said.
"Brother Cheng, you're here." Lin Xing, who was eating breakfast, saw Cheng Yan and waved to him.
"Da Cheng, are you here so early? Didn't you have breakfast, sit down and eat together." Father Lin greeted.
Cheng Yan bought a piece of land near their home. Father Lin also heard about it a few days ago, and he also knew that Cheng Yan, Lin Mo, and Lin Mo were going to see it today.
Father Lin is still very satisfied with Cheng Yan's actions, which shows that he attaches great importance to their Mo Geer.
Cheng Yan nodded without refusing, and sat down to have breakfast with them. When Lin Mo walked out of the kitchen, he brought a bowl of porridge in his hand, put it in front of Cheng Yan, and went back to his room.
"A new house is going to be built recently? Have you found the right materials and people?" Father Lin asked.
"The materials have been found, but the words of the person are not yet available. Does Uncle Lin have any suggestions?"
"If there is a suggestion... you can ask some people in the village to help. There is still some time before the busy farming season, and everyone in the village has spare time."
"En." Cheng Yan nodded in response.
"I'll just come here to find someone. You kid hasn't spoken a few words to the villagers in the past year. I'm afraid I can't find anyone else who can help." Father Lin scolded with a smile.
In the past, Father Lin had disapproved of Cheng Yan's attitude towards life, but after all, he was not very familiar with him, so it was difficult for Father Lin to say anything. Now that they are both father-in-law and son-in-law, he has to talk about it.
"Then... please trouble Uncle Lin." Cheng Yan's eyes showed some embarrassment, but he didn't say anything.
After Lin Mo entered the room, he changed his clothes and took the things he prepared last night. Since he and Cheng Yan were going to live there in the future, and Cheng Yan asked him what he wanted for the house, Lin Mo naturally had to be more careful.
Lin Mo prepared simple charcoal pencils for drawing drafts, and also took a few pieces of paper that Lin Xiu could no longer use. The charcoal pencil is the coal left by Lin Mo after the fire at home, and he simply wrapped it in an old cloth to prevent his hands from getting dirty when using it.
After Lin Mo went out, Cheng Yan had already finished his breakfast, and the conversation with Father Lin had just ended. Seeing that he had packed up, Cheng Yan took the things and left with Lin Mo.
Go out and turn right, and the two of them walked for five or six minutes to reach their destination. Lin Mo is very satisfied with this short distance, so that he doesn't have to travel too far to find his family if he has something to do in the future.
After arriving, Lin Mo looked at various locations, Cheng Yan followed him and told him the approximate range.
Lin Mo was very satisfied with the place Cheng Yan chose. There were not many people around. Compared with the neighbors near Lin's house, Lin Mo preferred a quieter place, and there was a small stream not far from here.
"There is a master bedroom, a hall, a storage room, a kitchen and a hut, what else do you need?" Lin Mo simply drew the location of each room on the paper and asked with his head tilted.
"Add two more rooms, maybe it will be useful in the future." Cheng Yan thought for a while and said.
"Well, how about planting some fruit trees and flowers in the yard?" Lin Mo asked.
"Well,...you decide." Cheng Yan didn't have any opinion on this, anyway, he could add whatever Lin Mo liked.
"The yard has a larger space, half of which is used to grow vegetables, and half to grow fruit trees and flowers... After the house is built, we will see how it is done." Lin Mo finished drawing the final simple structure, looked up at Cheng Yan, There is some light in the eyes.
This is his future home, Lin Mo wants to make it warmer. Plant some climbing vines around the house, and the trees in the yard are covered with fruit on the branches, and some grapes are planted in the corner of the wall, so that you can enjoy the coolness under it in summer.
Living in such a place every day is the life Lin Mo yearns for most in the last days, and now, this expectation can be realized.
He will have a home and live with the people he likes.
"Okay." Seeing the anticipation in Lin Mo's eyes, Cheng Yan nodded in response, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
For people who don't smile often, once a smile appears on their face, it will be very rare, just like Cheng Yan at this time. Seeing the faint smile in his eyes, Lin Mo was rarely stunned in front of Cheng Yan.
Lin Mo had already figured out the general layout of the house. After returning home, he drew a detailed diagram and explained it to Cheng Yan.
There are still a few days before the start of the Lantern Festival, and the Lin family has already finished some things, and now they just have time. Father Lin also left the house after Lin Mo, Cheng Yan and the others left.
When Lin Mo came home, Father Lin hadn't come back, and it was almost noon when he came home for dinner.
"What's the matter?" Mother Lin asked.
"I've already found a good person. The construction can start tomorrow, and it can be completed in four days at the earliest." Father Lin sat down and said.
"The Lantern Festival will start in six days, and we can wait until the house is built before doing anything else," Lin Cheng said.
"Then my mother and I can help with their lunch for these four days, or call Aunt Zhang." Seeing this, Aunt Lin said.
"What about me? What can I do?" Lin Xing said excitedly. He also wanted to go and have a look. He had never seen how a house was built.
"Don't make trouble, stay at home with Ah Chen and watch Xiao Nan and Xiao Ya." Mother Lin looked at Lin Xing, frowning slightly.
"Okay." Lin Xing said dejectedly, lowering his head and continuing to eat.
Lin Xiaoya looked up at them, then turned her head to look at Lin Xing, thought for a while and took out a piece of meat from her own bowl and put it in his bowl.
"Uncle Fifth, eat meat!" Lin Xiaoya said in a childish voice.
"Xiaoya is the best. Uncle Fifth will bring you food." Lin Xing touched her head and scooped up a piece of tofu for her with a spoon.
For the next four days, Father Lin and Lin Cheng went to help, while Mother Lin and Mrs. Lin started preparing their lunch early in the morning. The ingredients for the meal were bought by Cheng Yan from the town early in the morning, and they bought four days' worth at a time.
Lin Mo would go to check on the progress every day, and bring them cooked mint tea by the way, which can relieve the heat. Lin Mo dripped a drop of spiritual spring water in it, and he would feel more refreshed after drinking it.
Today is the fourth day, and the house is almost built, except for the fence around the house and the finishing touches elsewhere.
Lin Mo came over wearing a straw hat and carrying a small bucket of mint tea, and put the tea bucket on the stone table. Lin Mo poured two bowls and took one to Lin Cheng and one to Cheng Yan.
"Brother Mo is here again!" The other villagers who were working at the side naturally saw Lin Mo and laughed.
"Well, I brought some tea here, you can make it after you drink it." Lin Mo said.
When the other men heard Lin Mo's words, they also put down their things and walked over, poured a bowl of tea and sat down to drink while chatting with others.
The tea that Lin Mo brought over was very thirst-quenching. The first thing they looked forward to at noon every day was Lin Mo's arrival, and the second was to eat.
During the past few days of working, they also knew that Cheng Yan and the brother of the Lin family were going to get married, probably not long after the house was built.
Everyone in Daling Village knew that Cheng Yan was going to build a new house, and many people came to see it at first. I don't know who spread the news afterwards, but now everyone in the village knows that Cheng Yan is building a house to marry a wife, and the target is the brother of the Lin family.
At first, the others were a little skeptical. After all, Cheng Yan had a cold temper, and he would not even glance at other brothers in the village, let alone strike up a conversation. But after waiting for a long time, they didn't see Cheng Yan's rebuttal, so a certain brother knew that his brother was going to help, so he begged him to ask Cheng Yan.
The man asked, Cheng Yan also nodded and admitted, the key is that Lin's father and Lin Cheng were both present at the time, and the Lin family also nodded to show that it was true.
The other brothers in the village who still had some expectations for Cheng Yan completely gave up on Cheng Yan after they found out. Afterwards, some brothers said some sour words from time to time, saying that Lin Mo was lucky.
In this regard, Lin Mo heard it with one ear and out the other, and did not say anything to their remarks.
"What's the matter?" Lin Mo asked.
"It can be finished this afternoon." Cheng Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a big sip of tea. The coolness of the tea flowed down his throat and into his stomach, dissipating the heat from his whole body.
"Tomorrow, I will clean up the things in the house with you. After putting in the furniture, let it ventilate for a few days." Lin Mo said.
"Okay." Cheng Yan nodded. It just so happened that he also wanted to prepare some things, so he could go to the Lin family to propose marriage after the Lantern Festival.
