After breakfast, the Lin family went to Yan's house with New Year's greetings.
The Yan family and the Lin family had been in frequent contact during their grandfather's generation. Although the contact between the father of Lin's generation has become less, the connection between the two families has not been broken.
After Lin Lan, the third daughter of the Lin family, married Yan Ningxi, the relationship between the two families became closer.
The Yan family is a big family, divided into direct branch and side branch. Yan Ningxi and the others belonged to the direct branch, but his grandfather did not follow the family arrangement to take the scientific examination and become an official, but chose to do business.
After Yan Ningxi's grandfather was abandoned by the family, their relationship with the family became very shallow. Except for important festivals or special days when they have to go back, Yan Ningxi and his family rarely go back to the master's house. They are said to be out of business anyway, so they don't hate them in front of those people.
Yan's family is not in Mulin County, Yan Ningxi's grandfather has restaurants all over Yu Country. The Zuiyun Building in Mulin County is only a part of it, and it is now the property under Yan Ningxi's name. This is mainly for the assessment before he takes over the property.
However, because Lin Lan's belly is getting bigger and bigger every month, she will give birth in about three months. Yan Ningxi didn't dare to take risks at this time, so he didn't go back to the Lord's house with his father this year, but stayed at home with his wife.
The Yan family is a bit far from where the Lin family lives now, Lin Cheng and Cheng Yan rented three carriages. After sitting for about half an hour, the carriage stopped. Lin Mo, who rested with his head on Cheng Yan's shoulder and closed his eyes, opened his eyes the second the carriage stopped.
Lin Mo sat up straight, took the scarf and gloves that Cheng Yan gave him, and put them on. It was still snowing outside now, without these, Lin Mo wouldn't be able to stay outside for long.
After Lin Mo packed up, Cheng Yan was the first to get out of the car, and then reached out to hug him down. After Lin Mo came down, he took Cheng Yan's arm and turned his head to look at the gate of Yan's house.
It's hard to imagine that Lin's family and Yan's family are in-laws. Lin Lan and Yan Ningxi's temperaments match each other very well, and it's completely impossible to tell that her natal family is a farmer.
But thinking that the Lin family was not a real farmer, Lin Mo's doubts were also explained.
"I don't know why Grandpa suddenly gave up doing business and became a farmer instead." Lin Mo muttered.
From a businessman who made his home around the world to a farmer, and suddenly moved to the remote Mulin County, it always feels a little strange when I think about it.
"Your family used to be in business?" Cheng Yan asked in confusion when he heard Lin Mo's words. Cheng Yan heard about the Lin family's relocation to Daling Village by chance, other than that, he didn't know the situation of the Lin family.
When Cheng Yan knew that the Lin family and the Yan family were in-laws, he felt a little confused. Besides, the members of the Lin family, except Lin's father and Lin's mother who often went to work in the fields, and Lin Cheng's faces were a little tanned, everyone else was white and tender.
Especially when standing with the villagers of Daling Village, the contrast is even more obvious.
In addition to appearance, their temperament is also different from ordinary people.
"It should be, brother told me before." Lin Mo said with some uncertainty.
The grandfather of the Lin family passed away early, Lin Mo did not find any memory about Grandpa Lin in the memory of his original body, and Lin's father and Lin's mother rarely mentioned grandpa to them. Except that when they discovered that Lin Xiu was talented in reading, they insisted on letting him study and complete the scientific examination, Lin's father and Lin's mother had a completely free-range policy for them.
Cheng Yan nodded and didn't speak, and Lin Mo followed them into Yan's house, but he was thinking a little bit.
The Lin family may not be an ordinary family.
Their family came to Yan's house to pay New Year's greetings today, and Lin Cheng told Yan Ningxi yesterday. And the servants of the Yan family prepared the things early in the morning under the orders of the master.
After receiving the news that the in-laws of the master's family had come, the maid who was waiting in the kitchen brought warm pastries and tea and walked out quickly.
The conservatory of the Yan family is bigger and warmer than that of the Lin family, and the furnishings inside are less but exquisite. Lin Mo felt the warmth as soon as he walked in, and it didn't take long for his body to warm up.
"Father and mother, please come here, Ning Xi and I were supposed to go back." Lin Lan, who was being supported by Yan Ningxi, saw her parents and the others walking in, and hurried to meet them.
"Go slowly, why is your stomach so big? Could it be that there are two? Have you seen a doctor?" Mother Lin saw her daughter approaching, hurried over to support her, and said nervously.
The last time they met, Lin Lan didn't notice the small belly. Lin's mother was pregnant with twins, and the eldest daughter-in-law's first child was a dragon and a phoenix. Naturally, Lin's mother understood this situation better.
"I've seen it. I am indeed pregnant with two. I saw what the doctor said when I was pregnant in May. I thought it was nothing. I just wanted to tell my parents after I was born."
There were two cases of twins in their family. Lin Lan thought it was nothing, so she was not in a hurry to tell Lin's mother about it. Moreover, as long as you follow the doctor's instructions, you shouldn't have any major problems.
"What's all right? Giving birth is inherently dangerous, let alone giving birth to twins. One month before giving birth, the midwife must wait at home..."
Mother Lin was talking to Lin Lan about some precautions, while the others sat down and ate the cakes that were just served. Of course, the four children in the family were burying their heads in eating. Lin Mo just tasted a few pieces and didn't move. They came here after breakfast. Lin Mo is not hungry now.
"Fourth Uncle, this is a good time!" Lin Xiaoya ate with one hand, and grabbed a piece with the other hand to Fourth Uncle sitting next to her.
"Do you know what kind of pastry this is?" Lin Mo took it, took a bite, and asked with a smile.
"Red beans." Before Lin Xiaoya frowned and thought, Lin Xiaonan who was sitting on the side raised her head and said, her mouth was still chewing.
"Yes, it's from Hongdou!" Lin Xiaoya agreed without thinking about it when she heard it, what her brother said was right.
"Really? Think again."
"Huh? Isn't it red beans? Brother..." Lin Xiaoya turned her head to look at her brother beside her.
"Obviously it tastes like red dates. Are Xiaoya and Xiaonan idiots?" Lin Xing leaned back on the chair, took two or three mouthfuls of one piece, and then reached out for another piece to continue eating.
"Uncle Fifth is the idiot, the big idiot! Don't say brother." Lin Xiaoya stared at Lin Xing with wide eyes.
"Oh, is our Xiaoya angry?" Lin Xing leaned over, stretched out his hand to lightly poke Xiaoya's puffed cheeks, and said with a smile.
"A Xing, what are you doing? Hmm?" Lin Xiu, who was talking to Yan Ningxi, heard the movement on their side, turned his head to look at Lin Xing who was making trouble, and smiled.
"No... no, I'm playing with Xiaoya." Lin Xing quickly withdrew his hand and whispered to comfort Xiaoya who was still angry.
"I'm so cowardly." Lin Chen who was sitting on the side suddenly said.
"Second brother is scary, okay?" Lin Xing whispered while comforting Xiaoya.
"Did Xiaoya hear that? If he bullies you in the future, tell your second uncle." Lin Chen said.
"I hear you!" Xiaoya said without hesitation as she took the pastry that Uncle Fifth gave him.
"I heard that too." Lin Xiaonan nodded.
Lin Xing: ...
Is this a real brother? Isn't he just for fun, why has it developed like this now
Sitting aside, Lin Mo rolled his eyes silently.
The children were eating and playing, while Lin Cheng, Lin Xiu, Cheng Yan and Yan Ningxi were chatting. Lin Xiu sat at the side drinking tea and listening to them discuss business matters. It didn't take long for the discussion to fall on him.
"Second brother, are you leaving for the imperial city in two months?" Yan Ningxi asked suddenly.
"Well, the test time is coming soon. We are too far away from the imperial city, so we have to leave early." Lin Xiu nodded.
"Not long ago, my friend told me that there might be thieves and bandits on the way. If the second brother set off with people from the academy, he had to make them take precautions." Yan Ningxi said.
"Is the news true?" Lin Xiu frowned slightly and asked.
"Um."
Lin Xiu looked at his eldest brother sitting opposite him, seeing him shaking his head slightly, Lin Xiu lowered his head and fell into deep thought. The eldest brother shook his head, indicating that he did not know about this situation, that is to say, he did not encounter such a situation when he rushed to the imperial city in his previous life, so why is there such an accident now
"Second brother, when you go to the capital, Momo and I will go together..."
Before Cheng Yan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Xiu, "What are you and your fourth brother going to the capital for? If there is no news, I have no objection to your going, but now I know, the journey is dangerous..." Lin Xiu frowned Wrinkled and looking at Cheng Yan, his face was full of disapproval.
"Part of my memory has recovered. I plan to go to the capital with Momo to have a look, and I have martial arts, so I won't hurt Momo." Cheng Yan said after pondering for a while. It happened to be able to protect Lin Xiu.
"Part of it recovered?"
Lin Xiu and Lin Cheng naturally knew that Cheng Yan had no previous memories, but they didn't expect him to recover his memories so soon. Moreover, there are martial arts? Wouldn't it be someone from the quack
But thinking of Cheng Yan's clear statement that he was going to the capital, Lin Xiu ruled this out. Apart from people from Jianghu who know martial arts, Lin Xiu can only think of people in the general's mansion, and then think about Cheng Yan's attitude towards life...
"you… "
"Momo is my lover." Cheng Yan knew what Lin Xiu wanted to say, he did not give Lin Xiu a chance to say it, so he assured him first.
He will not disappoint Momo. Even if it came from someone else, Cheng Yan didn't want to hear words like 'Don't abandon Lin Mo', which made him very uncomfortable. Why did he think that he would treat Mo Mo badly after he recovered his memory
"... After the academy notifies me of the departure time, I will come back and go with you." Lin Xiu was silent for a while, and finally nodded in response.
Lin Cheng sat aside, glanced at Cheng Yan, and tried hard to recall some details of his previous life.
In the previous life, he and his father did not meet Cheng Yan who was injured and unconscious in the deep mountains. In the previous life, Brother Mo did not get married until the end.
The current development is different from the previous life, Lin Cheng feels a little uneasy, and now he can only hope that the final development will not be the same as the previous life.
Lin Cheng turned his head to look at the younger brothers and his children who were laughing happily. They should be like this, they can laugh and play carefree.
