"Sister-in-law, you go to eat first, I'll watch over here."
"... Then I will trouble you." Mrs. Lin wiped her tears with her head tilted, stood up and walked out of the kitchen with a nod.
Lin Mo stood there for a while, then walked over and sat on a small stool to watch the fire of the medicine pot.
At night, Lin Mo lay on the bed, listening quietly to the quiet conversation outside the room and the silence behind.
Lin Mo thought a lot, but when he thought of another place, his previous thoughts were overwritten again. He thought for a whole night, until the distant crowing of cocks came from outside the house, and then he heard the crowing of cocks in his own yard.
Lin Mo blinked, entered the Lingquan space and took a sip of Lingquan water, which relieved the tiredness of the night and temporarily soothed the long-term tense nerves.
The tomato branches thrown in yesterday were still lying on the ground. Lin Mo walked over and squatted down to dig a few small holes to plant them, and watered them with the spiritual spring water in his hands.
Lin Mo just squatted aside and watched quietly. After a while, the branches sprouted shoots at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then turned into tender green leaves.
Lin Mo, who had achieved his goal, no longer continued to observe. After leaving the Lingquan space, he lay on the bed for a while, and got up when he heard movement outside the house.
Lin Mo opened the door and walked out of the room, only to find that his sister-in-law got up and was boiling medicine in the kitchen.
"Brother Mo, wake up." Mrs. Lin said in surprise when she heard the sound and looked over and found that Lin Mo got up first.
"Well, how is brother?" Lin Mo scooped up a bowl of water and walked aside to brush his teeth.
"Your elder brother woke up once in the middle of the night last night, and it doesn't look so serious." Sister Lin said with joy in her eyes.
Mrs. Lin also stayed in the house yesterday to help out. Naturally, she heard the doctor say how serious her husband's condition was. There was a blood hole in his stomach and he was hit on the head.
Generally, it is impossible to save such an injury. There have been such accidents in the village before, so Mrs. Lin stayed by Lin Cheng's bed last night, daring not to sleep. Fortunately, Lin Cheng only had a low fever and woke up in the middle of the night. once.
After Lin Cheng woke up once, Mrs. Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Being able to wake up meant that she was out of danger, and there would be no major problems as long as she recuperated well.
Lin Mo nodded and didn't say anything else. After quickly brushing his teeth and washing his face, he went into the kitchen to make breakfast.
"Would you like breakfast? How about I come."
Aunt Lin saw Lin Mo's posture, wiped her hands and stood up and said, Lin Mo didn't do many things because of his special body, and he didn't do much cooking.
Although Lin Mo's health has improved in the past few days, they all know that the improvement will not last long, so Mrs. Lin didn't want Lin Mo to make breakfast.
"No, I can still cook."
Lin Mo shook his head and refused, and then began to prepare the materials. Last night's dinner was made by him, so Lin Mo knew where the things were placed.
Considering that there are two three-year-old children and a sick patient at home, Lin Mo is going to cook a pot of porridge. For other things, there is a bag of flour in the rice jar and a strip of bacon hanging on the side.
"Ah Chen, after brushing your teeth, come over and help light the fire." Lin Mo heard footsteps, glanced aside and saw that it was Lin Chen.
"Understood fourth brother, fourth brother, do you make breakfast?" Lin Chen asked suspiciously.
"Well, why did you get up so early?" Lin Mo asked while taking out all the materials.
You must know that in normal times, no one will get up until an hour after the cock crows. After all, the rooster crows earlier in rural areas. It goes without saying that Mrs. Lin gets up to make medicine. Lin Chen, a ten-year-old child, usually does not get up at this time.
"I couldn't sleep, I woke up when I heard fourth brother and sister-in-law talking in the room." Lin Chen said a little embarrassed.
Lin Mo nodded and stopped talking. He lowered his head and continued to process the materials. After washing the rice, Lin Mo put the rice in a ceramic pot, filled the pot with water, and quietly dripped a drop of spiritual spring water. Lin Mo's movements were so unnoticeable.
Seeing that the fourth brother had put the water on, Lin Chen quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face, went into the kitchen and started to light the fire.
Lin Mo kneaded the dough quickly while the porridge was still cooking, covered the bowl with noodles and walked out of the kitchen to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables.
When he came back with the vegetables, he found that Lin Xing was awake, so he handed the vegetables to him to wash, and went back to the kitchen to remove the bacon, wash and cut into cubes.
"Ah Chen, take off the lid and stir the porridge to prevent it from sticking to the pot." Lin Mo reminded while making buns.
"Ah? Got it, fourth brother." Lin Chen woke up from the quick and skillful movements of fourth brother, and quickly responded.
"Four...fourth brother, what are you doing?" Lin Chen asked while stirring the porridge in the pot.
Lin Chen watched the fourth brother make a steamed stuffed bun in no time. Although these steamed stuffed buns were much smaller than the ones he ate before, he was still shocked by Lin Mo's hand speed.
"Make food."
Lin Chen: "..."
Of course Lin Chen knew that the fourth brother was cooking, but he wanted to ask what kind of food he was doing, but seeing the fourth brother bowing his head and making breakfast with no expression, Lin Chen still shut up.
It's not like Lin Chen didn't feel that the fourth brother seemed to have changed a lot recently. Although he talked less, he didn't like to laugh anymore, and he looked expressionless all day long.
"Ah Chen, watch the ignition." Lin Mo reminded, ignoring the doubt in Lin Chen's eyes and probing him.
"Huh? Oh, I see."
Lin Chen came back to his senses and squatted down to put firewood in the stove, and quickly put the doubts in his mind behind him.
Lin Mo’s buns are small steamed buns, which are small in size, so the quantity is a bit large, but it’s just enough for a big family to eat. The stuffing in the buns is only diced bacon. After the buns are wrapped, they are placed in a cleaned bamboo steamer. Lin Xing has already washed the dishes in the pot.
"Ah Xing, come over and light the fire, remember to use a big fire."
Lin Mo saw that the porridge was boiling and bubbling, and when he scooped it up, the rice grains were already a little cooked. Because a few drops of Lingquan water, the fragrance of the rice porridge was completely evaporated, and the fragrance also made Lin Mo's stomach even more uncomfortable.
"Continue to put firewood and change to a small fire."
Lin Mo and Lin Chen walked out of the kitchen to deal with the washed dishes after giving orders. The kitchen was crowded with three people, so Lin Mo could only cut vegetables outside.
For green vegetables, it’s not too late to wait until the steamed stuffed buns are cooked. Lin Mo washed two peppers that he picked yesterday and chopped them up. He took out the washed cucumbers in the vegetable basket, cut them into pieces, put them in a large basin, sprinkled them with salt and put them Add the chopped peppers, stir well and cover with another large bowl.
Perhaps the scent from the kitchen was too enticing, and other sleeping people woke up. Mother Lin carried the awakened granddaughter out of the room, and the scent became stronger as soon as the door was opened.
Mother Lin thought that the eldest daughter-in-law was making breakfast and didn't go in. After serving her granddaughter to brush her teeth and wash her face, she went into the younger son's room and carried her grandson out.
After everyone washed up, the porridge was ready, and the steamed buns could be boiled on high heat in a short time. Lin Mo fried the vegetables and took them out.
"Brother wakes up and asks him to drink the porridge first and then the medicine." Lin Mo scooped up a large bowl of porridge and put it on the table to dry, then turned his head and said to Aunt Lin.
Mrs. Lin nodded and brought the porridge into the room. Lin Mo left her a portion of porridge and buns, and sprinkled green onion on the porridge and stirred it a few times.
"Brother Mo, you made these?" Mother Lin also saw who made the dinner at this time, but she asked in disbelief.
"These are all made by the fourth brother. The fourth brother got up early in the morning." Lin Chen first picked up a small bun, and muttered while eating.
"But, how could Brother Mo do these things..." Obviously he had never done it before, Mother Lin hesitated to speak.
"Okay, eat yours, what's wrong with my brother who is smart enough to do this?" Father Lin knocked on Mother Lin's bowl with chopsticks, a little displeased.
"It's delicious, the fourth brother is the best!" Lin Xing praised with a thumbs up, chewing on the steamed stuffed bun.
"Fourth Uncle... Uncle, Baozi... Xiaoya wants Baozi." Lin Xiaoya grabbed the rim of the bowl with her small hand and pushed it in front of Lin Mo who was sitting beside her.
"All right, all right, it's my fault, our brother Mo is the smartest."
Thanks to his family's bottomless love for him, Lin Mo managed to escape, and he was relieved.
Perhaps it was because Lin Cheng had woken up and passed the dangerous period. The atmosphere at home was no longer as gloomy and breathless as last night, and Lin Mo rarely showed an imperceptible smile.
The news that Lin Cheng was injured in the mountain had spread throughout Daling Village early in the morning, and everyone was talking about it. After all, many people saw Lin Cheng being carried back covered in blood yesterday.
When Lin's mother went out to wash clothes, other people who were washing clothes on the other side of the river asked her about Lin Cheng's current situation. Lin's mother just smiled at their concern, and after saying a few words, she continued to chat about other things while washing clothes. thing.
The Lin family is considered an immigrant household in Daling Village. Lin Mo’s grandfather and his wife came to Daling Village to settle down. They used to be merchants and Daling Village did not have any strict restrictions on immigrant households, so they immediately bought more than 30 acres after they settled down. ground.
Fortunately, Lin's mother, as a child bride-in-law, is good at giving birth. Over the years, she has given birth to six children one after another. The eldest son, Lin Cheng, married a wife and had a pair of twins.
The second son, Lin Xiu, just passed the provincial examination two months ago, and will go to Kyoto for the examination next spring. This is one of the reasons why the Lin family is popular in Daling Village.
The third daughter, Lin Lan, also married into a rich family in the town the year before last. Their family and Mr. Lin used to have a great friendship in the merchants. squinted.
The fourth son, Lin Mo, has been weak since he was a child. He has been sick all year round, and half of the family's savings are spent on medicines for Lin Mo. The fifth son, Lin Xing, and the sixth son, Lin Chen, are twins.
Although Mr. Lin has only one son, Father Lin, but fortunately he has six grandchildren, sons, daughters, and younger brothers of the Lin family.
