After Lin Mo and Lin Cheng discussed, they went to the fruit forest to pick ripe fruits the next day. But this time Lin mother no longer agreed with Lin Mo to follow him, but let him look at the two children at home.
Lin Mo is going to make some easy-to-storage dried fruits and jams. Juice and pastries can be made that day.
Lin Cheng recovered, and naturally they picked fruit faster. When they were shipped back to the first batch, Lin mother and Lin Dazhen followed. After removing the basket full of fruit from the trolley, the two Lin family members went to the fruit forest again.
After Lin Mo and the two of them briefly explained the steps, the three began to peel the fruit that can be made into dried fruit. Because the thickness of the slice should be moderate, Lin Mu and Lin Dazhen are responsible for peeling, and Lin Mo is responsible for slicing.
After cutting a part, Lin Mo placed the fruit pieces in a bamboo dustpan, put it in a place where it was ventilated and got the sun, and then resumed the work just now.
Lin Xiaoya, sitting beside the yard, was a bit boring. She looked up at her grandmother and mother-in-law, and then she turned to look at the fourth uncle holding the fruit.
"Uncle Four, Xiaoya wants to play too." Lin Xiaoya got up and walked with her short legs, and gently pulled Lin Mo's trouser legs.
"Oh, uncle Four isn't playing. Go and find your brother." Lin Mo took the time to give her two cleaned Sydneys and said. The movement of cutting fruit in his hand did not stop.
"Okay." Lin Xiaoya held two Sydneys in both hands, nodded and walked towards the door.
Lin Xiaoya and Lin Xiaonan sat side by side, sitting on the threshold and holding pears. After half of the pears were lifted, Lin Xiaoya looked up and saw Cheng Yan coming from a distance. No, exactly, she saw something in the small bamboo cage that he was carrying.
"Brother, Uncle Cheng came to mess with again ~" Lin Xiaoya looked aside at Lin Xiaonan.
"Oh, I saw it." Lin Xiaonan looked up, then continued to lower his head to pick pears.
"Uncle Cheng is holding something in his hand, I'm going to see if it's Bunny." Lin Xiaoya held half of the pear in her left hand, stood up with her right hand, and walked toward Cheng Yan.
Lin Xiaonan heard that, looking up instantly, Cheng Yan's eyes looked amazing. Seeing her sister walking over, she thought for a second and stood up and ran over with her short legs.
"Uncle Cheng, you're here." Lin Xiaoya walked to Cheng Yan, clutching his clothes and looking up at him, said as he followed him.
"Um." Cheng Yan responded, trying to minimize the pace.
"Uncle Cheng, is there a rabbit?" Lin Xiaoya blinked and looked at him.
"No."
"Oh." Lin Xiaoya responded nicely.
Lin Xiaonan came over, followed Cheng Yan, and looked up at the small bamboo cage in his hand.
"Is there a dog in it?" Lin Xiaonan asked.
"No," Cheng Yan said dryly.
"Then ... who is Uncle Cheng giving?" Lin Xiaoya asked. There was only a white animal in it, and if it was given to them, it didn't seem to be enough for her to share with her brother.
"... for you four uncles." Cheng Yan pursed his lips for a moment and said silently.
"Well? So ... let me tell my uncle four." Lin Xiaoya finished, and ran into the yard with short legs.
Cheng Yangang wanted to stop it, and heard Lin Xiaoya shouting as she ran in, her feet paused, her face was a bit unnatural.
"Uncle Four ... Uncle Cheng came to mess with me and brought you a bunny-like ..." Lin Xiaoya stopped, scratched her head, wondering on her face, what was it? It seems that Uncle Cheng did not say.
"Who's here?" Lin Mo heard Lin Xiaoya's voice outside the courtyard, but couldn't understand what she said.
"Uncle Cheng came to mess with ~" Lin Xiaoya went to Lin Mo and said.
Lin Mo held his hand and looked up at the door, just to see Cheng Yan walking in with Lin Xiaonan. The two stared at each other in defense, before long Lin Mo bowed his head and continued to cut the fruit.
"Dacheng, how did you get here today? Didn't you go to town?" Lin Mu also heard her granddaughter's words, looked up at Cheng Yan who came in, and asked.
"just came back."
Cheng Yan put the things in his hands aside, Lin Xiaoya and Lin Xiaonan squatted around there. After washing his hands, Cheng Yan walked to Lin Mo.
"I'll cut it." Cheng Yan stood aside for a few seconds and said.
"... Remember the thickness is moderate." Lin Mo looked up at him, put his knife down, and walked aside.
Cheng Yan took the knife and cut it according to Lin Mo's method, and it was twice as fast. Seeing this, Lin Mo also set aside the fruit slices and took them to dry.
Almost ready for the dried fruit, Lin Mo began to prepare jam. But this time he first taught Lin Dayi again, and then the two together.
It was almost noon. Father Lin and the eldest brother had already carried them back and forth a few times, and Lin Mo had done almost the same. When Lin's father returned after the last trip, Lin Mo also gave them the last job, and went to the kitchen with Lin Xing and Lin Chen to cook.
Seeing that Mo Geer had no physical discomfort, Lin mother went with him. Anyway, they all liked to eat the food made by Lin Mo.
When all the fruits outside have been processed, Lin Mo will cook them. Cheng Yan moved the last altar into the warehouse, stood up and squeezed his sour arm.
"Dacheng, wait to stay for dinner, Mo Geer is ready to cook." Father Lin carefully placed the jar and stood up and said.
"Okay." Cheng Yan, who just wanted to refuse, heard that Lin Mo made the meal. He paused and nodded.
"How come over today?" Father Lin asked as he stepped out of the warehouse.
"I'm looking for you and Lin Yan ... and Lin Mo."
"What about you and Mo Geer?" Father Lin glanced at him and smiled. Last night Lin Mo had already told him and Cheng Yan. Lin's father Lin mother also knew, but did not expect Cheng Yan to come today.
"Um." Cheng Yan looked a little unnatural.
"Okay, let's talk after dinner." Father Lin patted his shoulder and went out with a smile.
Standing in place, Cheng Yan touched his hot ears and decided to wait for a while.
After Cheng Yan entered, everyone else was basically in position, and the only vacant seat was next to Lin Mo. But now Cheng Yan was not embarrassed, walked straight and sat down.
Lin Mo Yuguang glanced at Cheng Yan who was sitting next to him, but didn't speak. Listen to their conversation while eating, and sometimes ask him, Lin Mo will answer a sentence or two.
After lunch, Lin Dazhen and Lin Mu took the dishes and washed them. Lin Xing Lin Chen sat paralyzed and didn't want to move, Lin Xiaonan and Lin Xiaoya's children dangled in the hall, and finally stayed beside Lin Mo.
When Mother Lin came back after washing things, Father Lin asked Cheng Yan, "Now you're here, you can say."
"What did you say?" Mother Lin wiped the water on her hand and looked up in wonder.
"Ah ... I want to ask Lin Yi what it takes to get married." Cheng Yan gave a low cough, something unnatural, but fortunately, Cheng Yan couldn't see anything on his face.
"What to prepare? I forgot that there are no elders in your family and I don't know about them."
After that, Lin's mother told Cheng Yan the details of the process before and after marriage, and Cheng Yan listened carefully throughout the process. Lin Mo looked at Cheng Yan. He could only hear something in his head. He really couldn't understand how Cheng Yan could listen so intently.
Lin Xing and Lin Chen, who were paralyzed while eating, only realized that they were discussing the marriage between Cheng Yan and their fourth brother.
"When did Brother Cheng and Brother Si know enough to get married?" Lin Xingdou pushed and pushed Lin Chen next to him and asked in a low voice.
Lin Xing remembered that not long ago he also asked the fourth brother whether he liked Big Brother Cheng. At that time, the fourth brother clearly said that he didn't like it, and now he wants to talk about marriage?
"You ask me? How do I know?" Lin Chen pushed his head away, stood up and walked over. Seeing this, Lin Xing quickly hurried to follow him.
Then ... Then Lin Xing saw Lin Chen standing still, standing still and listening to them.
Lin Xing: "..."
"Four brother ... Four brother, come here." Lin Xing whispered, seeing that they were discussing the marriage process seriously, nobody noticed him.
Lin Mo glanced at Lin Xing and looked back to see Lin's father Lin Mu, who was still talking, so he got up and walked over.
"What did you ask me to do?" Lin Mo approached and asked.
"Four brother, do you really want to marry Brother Cheng?" Lin Xing looked back at them, then turned back to Lin Mo, and whispered.
"Um." Lin Mo nodded.
"You said before ... you don't like Brother Cheng."
"Well ... things like feelings are inaccurate. Sometimes they ca n’t be blocked, and you will understand when you grow up." Lin Mo touched his head and said, then walked back and sat down to listen to them. .
Lin Xing: ...
