Chapter 21: Cheng Yan, do you like me?

A few days later, Lin Cheng's injury was almost better. Lin Mo followed Lin's mother and went to Zhang Yuanqing's house.
Lin Mo was holding Xiaoya and walking behind Lin's mother. Lin Xiaonan was holding his clothes in one hand and looking around. The two of them were only three years old. They had little chance to go out. Now they go to a strange place. Natural A little curious.
"Xiaoya, do you want your mother to hug you?" Lin Dazhen walked aside and asked, touching her daughter's head.
Lin Xiaoya looked up at her mother, then looked at Uncle Four, her eyes were a little tangled.
"Go, it's a long time to come." Lin Mo let go and held her hand, touched her head, and nudged Lin Dazhen.
Seeing his daughter had his daughter-in-law hugging Lin Cheng, he turned his head to look at his son, but Lin Xiaonan looked at him without telepathy, instead holding Lin Mo's hand and continuing to walk with him.
Forest City: "..."
Before they waited for a long time, they met Cheng Yan, who came from the other side. Cheng Yan was carrying two strong pheasants and a hare.
"Dacheng, go to town again?" Father Lin asked.
"No, go to Uncle Zhang's." Cheng Yan shook his head.
After listening, Father Lin also understood that Cheng Yan would go hunting in the mountains every few days. Some people would book game with him in advance, or wait for him to go to town to buy from him, but there were not many of them.
"Big bunny!" Lin Xiaoya, who was held by her mother, naturally saw the big gray rabbit in Cheng Yan's hand, his little finger excitedly looking at it.
As soon as Lin Xiaonan heard what his sister said, he looked back at the sight elsewhere, but his sight was blocked and invisible. Lin Xiaonan looked up and tore off his uncle's clothes.
"Eh? You want to see it too?" Lin Mo asked, looking down.
Lin Xiaonan nodded, staring at him without blinking.
"Come on." Lin Cheng picked up his son, Lin Xiaonan's eyes widened, and he saw Cheng Yan's hand.
"There are big chickens." Lin Xiaonan's eyes brightened.
They all went the same way, and Cheng Yan went with them at last. Lin Lin and Lin Lin walked in the front. Lin Cheng and Lin Dazhen each held their children behind. Lin Mo and Lin Xing were beside him.
However, when Lin Mo didn't notice, Cheng Yan walked to his side, and Lin Xing and Lin Chen did not know when they ran to the front.
Lin Mo glanced at him, remembering what Lin's mother told him a few days ago. Cheng Yan likes him? Seems like it can't be seen.
"You ... have been better lately?" Cheng Yan said suddenly, her voice was low, as if she rarely spoke, her voice was a little husky.
"Huh? ... Uh, it's much better." Lin Mo nodded.
Then, after Lin Mo finished speaking, he didn't see Cheng Yan have the next sentence. Lin Mo Yuguang glanced at him with some doubts in his heart. Does he really like him? Do n’t you like to talk to each other as much as possible about the topic?
So they went all the way to Zhang Yuanqing's house, and they were silent all the way. Lin Xing and Lin Chen kept talking all the way in front of them, but they were speechless all the way here.
Lin Mo: ...
Does this really like him? Why can't he feel it?
When he went to Zhang Yuanqing's house, Lin Mo was taken to the house by Lin's mother. Lin Dazhen held his daughter and led his son to follow him in. Lin Xing Lin Chen saw the partner as soon as he entered the yard, and he had long gone in to play together.
Lin Mo walked into the room and saw almost half of the people standing in it. There are men and women, but men should be brothers. Now Lin Mo can probably distinguish brothers and men from the outside.
The room was full of strangers, and Lin Mo felt a little uncomfortable, but when he went out now, there was no place to stay, and he could only adapt as much as possible.
Lin Mo sat beside Xiao Nan to play with. On the table were sweets and cakes and some snacks. Lin Xiaoya stepped forward in a small step, pulled the people aside, and looked up at him.
"Big brother, Xiaoya wants to eat sugar." Lin Xiaoya looked forward expectantly.
"Which kid are you from? It's so cute." A brother gave her some candy and asked with a smile.
"Ah? I don't know, thank you, elder brother." Lin Xiaoya said blankly, holding the candy together with two little hands, thanked him and walked over to Lin Mo.
"Uncle Four, eat sugar!" Lin Xiaoya held the candy and handed it to Lin Mo, grinning, the two dimples on his face looming.
Lin Mo froze, looking at the smile on Lin Xiaoya's face, inexplicable feeling of warmth flowing in his heart.
Lin Mo took it, and fed one to each of them. The others were in their hands. Lin Xiaoya was lying on Lin Mo's thigh, her mouth bulging, and she would poke and pout. Lin Xiaonan didn't know where to find the small stool, so he sat next to Lin Mo.
Always watching Lin Xiaoya's other brother, this lovely girl, also saw Lin Mo sitting next to her, with some doubts in her eyes. Obviously, they didn't know who Lin Mo was.
There were also a few who had met Lin Mo, so he took Lin's mother aside.
A few heard other sisters-in-law and Lin's mother talking, and looked at Lin Mo's overly white face, and guessed a few in his heart, but no one talked to him in the past.
Lin Mo didn't wait long before they heard people outside yelling at them to eat. Lin Dazhen came over and picked up Xiaoya, and Lin Mo led Xiaonan out of the house.
It was noon at this time, and the sun was a little big. As soon as Lin Mo went out, he was stunned by the sun outside.
Lin Mo has never participated in any wedding banquet, nor do they know what the form of wedding banquet in the countryside looks like. But seeing the tables in the yard, most of them were sitting in their seats, and they didn't seem to be empty.
Lin Mo picked up Xiaonan and followed Dasao, carefully avoiding people walking around. Lin Chenglin's seat is a bit off, but he is in a good position. In the shade, he won't get too tan when eating.
Cheng Yan was alone, so he sat at the Lin's table. From time to time, other brothers sitting in their own positions looked at Cheng Yan and saw Lin Mo sitting beside Cheng Yan, eyes full of jealousy and envy.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yan's favorite person was really the sick brother of the Lin family.
There was a series of things after eating, but Lin Mo felt bored and didn't want to stay any longer. He told Lin mother and left with Cheng Yan.
Worried about Lin Mo's accident on the way back, Lin's father asked Cheng Yan to accompany him back before. The two walked side by side, Cheng Yan glanced at Lin Mo with Yu Guang, and couldn't say what he wanted to say.
Cheng Yan accompanied him all the way, and struggled until he was ready to reach Lin's house. He was relieved and a little bit lost.
"Cheng Yan ..." Lin Mo suddenly stood and turned to look at Cheng Yan.
"Huh? Why ... what happened?" Cheng Yan was a little unnatural with his straight eyes, but fortunately his expression did not change.
"You like me?" Lin Mo fixedly looked at him and asked.
Cheng Yan's thoughts were bluntly spoken, his heart was shaking inexplicably, his ears were slowly heating, but he wanted to avoid his urge to look away.
"Well, I like you." Cheng Yanqiang looked at him calmly and nodded. But he didn't know that his red ears had betrayed him.
Lin Mo looked at the ears that had the opposite of his calm expression, and somehow wanted to laugh.
"Why do you like me?" Lin Mo asked. He didn't think there was anything he liked about the other person, and they didn't seem to meet more than ten times, right?
"... Can't say." Cheng Yanyi heard him ask this question and thought in his head, but found that he didn't seem to know the reason why he liked Lin Mo.
"Then what did you think of when you realized you liked me?" Lin Mo asked for a moment.
"It hurts to see you cry, to see you hurt, to feel choking in your heart, and then you realize ... like you." Cheng Yan looked at him with serious eyes.
Hearing Cheng Yan's words, Lin Mozheng stared at him for a moment, speechless.
"I don't have children because of my constitution ... Do you mind?"
Cheng Yan heard what he meant, and his eyes lit up, "don't mind!"
"Okay, I'll tell the story of both of us to my father and mother." Lin Mo figured something out, a slight smile on his face.
Cheng Yan had never seen Lin Mo laugh when he smiled, but now he was a little lost. Cheng Yan felt that he wanted to add one more, to make him happy all the time, and to keep his smile on his face forever.
...
After Lin Mo's mentality recovered, it had been a few days since he said that he had made dried fruit jams. The half-ripe fruits in the fruit forest were now ripe, and the green ones were also hung.
Before Lin Cheng confessed with Lin Xiu and Lin Mo, Lin Cheng had already told everything. Lin Mo also knew that after that, Lin Cheng was responsible for their family's business, so he consulted him.
"There will be a Lantern Festival in seven days, and we can sell it in town." Lin Cheng thought about it and said.
"Festival of Lantern Festival?" Lin Mo looked at him doubtfully.
Lin Cheng knew his situation and didn't say anything. He explained to him, "We have a lantern festival every year in our country, but the time is different in different places ..."
Lantern Festival also has another saying, that is blind date. All unmarried brothers, women, and men can come out on the night of the Lantern Festival, and if they look at each other's eyes, 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 strange pastry snacks. There are also various activities, guessing lantern riddles, painting poems, competitions and so on.
So that night was the most profitable night. Lin Cheng knew that if they set up a stall, they would definitely make money soon.
"If that's the case, apart from the jam and dried fruits, we can also make some fruit-flavored pastries, fruit juices, or whatever." Lin Mo thought for a long time after listening, and said.
"There were basically young people in the town that night, and they would definitely not worry too much when buying." Lin Cheng added.
The words of brothers, women and children must not be rejected for something novel.
"What does that elder brother think should be done?" Lin Mo didn't think much about these things that required his brain and was tired.
"Let ’s do a part first. We can sell and advertise when the Lantern Festival is underway. Did n’t you say that Ningxi was already helping us find a shop? After making a name, we can start selling in the shops after the Lantern Festival. "
"Well, then?" Lin Mo asked.
"Then buy the remaining fruits from the villagers, and you don't need to know what happened afterwards," Lin Mo said.
"Brother, why did Dad say you didn't have the talent for business, you said ..." Lin Mo looked at him in confusion, and some of Lin Cheng's ideas still had modern innuendo.
"These are what you taught me. I'm nothing. Achen is the best. You will know it after you teach him." Lin Cheng shook his head. He learned nothing but fur. Compared to him, Lin Chen's talent for business was amazing. Even Lin Mo in previous lives praised him.
However, now that Lin Mo has not started teaching, Lin Chen has not started to learn, he can only come up with this.
Moreover, Lin Cheng's ultimate goal is to become an emperor merchant. He knew that two years later, the emperor of Laos would suddenly start to pay attention to doing business, and began to set up an 'emperor merchant assessment.
Lin Cheng is bound to get it. Isn't Lin Xiu framed because he has no background? Emperor Shang and the court are closely related. Even if they want to be framed again, they must weigh the stakes.
It just seems that two years is not enough.
After Lin Cheng told Lin Mo his considerations, he finally said, "Four younger brothers, maybe you can start letting Achen learn from you now."
"Imperial merchant? Are you serious?" Brothers who are half-way monks like them, can they compete over the generations of merchant families?
"It doesn't just choose one." Because of this, Lin Cheng had this idea.
"It's a matter of long-term discussion, and we'll talk about it after the Lantern Festival."
