The third day after Mei Huiniang left was Yilang's 100th day. Since Lu Jian was not at home, Lin Jinrong did not entertain the guests. He only ordered the cook to prepare a table of dishes. The master and servants celebrated Yilang's small celebration.
After a while, everyone at the banquet tried their best to tease Yilang, and Yilang laughed out loud for the first time.
After that, Mei Huiniang came to the house twice more, once to ask Lin Jinrong to teach her how to divide tea, and again to ask Lin Jinrong to play the xun. Each time she came, she only stayed for about an hour, and the souvenirs she brought were just some ordinary fruits.
The cakes she made herself were not out of the ordinary at all, but they seemed very humane. Although Lin Jinrong was wary of Mei Baoqing, he was not too averse to this kind of communication and received the little girl warmly every time.
By mid-August, Lu Mian had been away for more than forty days. Although Lin Jinrong didn't know whether he and Lin Shiquan would be able to come back for the festival, they got ready early and wanted to have a lively festival and entertain Yao Zhuo and others.
No matter what happens in the future, it can still be regarded as a gathering.
The mooncakes were customized from the most famous Wuji Dessert Shop, and they also bought new wine from Fengle House, paired with fresh fruits such as pomegranates, pears, dates, chestnuts, grapes, etc., and put them in countless gift boxes for Lu Liang and
Lin and Gui took Lu Mian's name card and went to the houses of Lu Mian's boss according to their relative proximity.
On the fourteenth day, Xu Xing's family sent a return gift. In addition to moon cakes and new wine, there were also some green and yellow oranges and oranges from afar. Cherry picked up the reddest orange, washed it, and took it to tease Yilang.
Playing, Lin Jinrong saw it, and couldn't help but think of the time last year when she was pregnant with Yilang, and Lu Yan went around looking for oranges for her. She couldn't help but ask Lu Liang's family: "It's been dry in Beijing recently, I don't know about other things."
Whether it rains in a place or not, water rises in rivers and lakes."
The subtext is that I don’t know if Lu Mian’s journey will be smooth. Lu Liang’s family is a little older, so he knows the grandmothers’ tactful attitude and unwillingness to express their concerns directly, so he smiled gently and said: “Someone brought crabs yesterday.
It is said that it has indeed rained and the river has risen a bit, but it will not hinder the boat and will not delay the sailing." After a pause, he added: "Lu Liang has been waiting outside the city for the past two days. Once he sees the second master returning, he will immediately come
I will come back and report to grandma."
"Thank you." Lin Jinrong smiled, took the orange from Cherry's hand and went to tease Yilang, but Yilang lost interest and only looked at her, poking his mouth and saying "oh oh" to please her, but this was what he did every day
It's time to go out and hang out in the sun.
"Baby, do you want to get up?" Lin Jinrong felt soft in her heart, picked him up and walked to the yard to play. After leaving the door, Yilang's chubby face showed a bit of joy, waving his chubby little fists.
, gently rubbed his forehead against Lin Jinrong. This child was different every day, and Lin Jinrong's heart suddenly felt sour and swollen, and he couldn't help but burst into tears. He smiled and kissed Yilang hard on the forehead.
"Oh, why is this little man so annoying?" Aunt Sha saw from the side and understood Lin Jinrong's mood at this time: "Is the second grandma very happy now? Back then, the old slave's first child was the third child.
Once I called her mother, the old slave laughed with joy and was scolded by my mother-in-law as crazy."
"My heart is indeed very happy." Lin Jinrong was full of emotions. He couldn't describe the feeling. He finally calmed down and grabbed Yilang's little fist and put it to his lips as if to bite it. However, Yilang knew that he was coaxing him and laughed.
The childish laughter made people feel a layer of indescribable joy. Lin Jinrong couldn't wait to share this rare happiness with Lu Mian.
As if knowing that she was thinking about her, Lu Yan and Lin Shiquan arrived home in the evening. After receiving the letter from Lu Liang, Lin Jinrong hurriedly carried Yi Lang to the second gate to pick her up. When they reached the second gate, over there
Lu Yan and Lin Shiquan also entered the door chatting and laughing.
"Third brother, what do you think of my little yard?" Before Lu Yan could finish his sentence, he caught sight of Lin Jinrong and her son from the corner of his eye. He couldn't say the rest of the words. He just looked at her mother and son with bright eyes, and reached out to pick up Yi.
Lang smiled and said: "My dear son, do you miss your father?"
Yilang stared at him for a moment, then turned his head and hid in Lin Jinrong's arms. Lin Jinrong touched his head and smiled: "My father doesn't even recognize him."
"Grown up." Lu Yan also reached out to touch Yilang's head, looking at her mother and child with a smile. Yilang had grown up fat and healthy, and his reaction was much more sensible than when he left. Lin Jinrong was young, and
He was born not to gain weight, and in the days since he left, his figure has completely recovered. Even though he was just dressing up at home today, he looked very attractive.
Lin Jinrong noticed his gaze, and her heart tightened a little. She didn't dare to glare at him in front of everyone, so she just ignored him. She hugged Yilang generously and stepped forward to greet Lin Shiquan: "Third brother, you have worked hard all the way. Yilang
, this is your third uncle."
Lin Shiquan was very happy when he saw her radiant face, which was completely different from when he was in Pingzhou. He hugged Yilang and looked at her, and said with a smile: "I've been guessing what it looked like, but it turned out to be like this. It's more like this.
Ah Rong, you are very beautiful."
Seeing that Yi Lang did not object to Lin Shiquan's embrace, Lu Yan couldn't help laughing and scolding: "This little thing."
Lin Shiquan hurriedly put Yilang into his arms: "Take it, take it." He complained to Lin Jinrong: "I said walking slowly, why should I be so tired, but some people have to rush back to celebrate the 15th, saying that they are afraid that I won't be able to
I have to eat moon cakes, which makes me feel wronged. In fact, I don’t want to eat moon cakes at all. I just want to have a good sleep, I am very tired.”
Lin Jinrong saw that both of them were tired from work, especially Lu Yan, who had lost a lot of weight and had fatigue written all over his face. He hurriedly let the person in, arranged for Lin Shiquan to stay, ordered people to take good care of him, and prepared meals in the kitchen.
.
Seeing that she was only busy arranging their food and accommodation, Lu Yan whispered: "Arong, just leave it to Chunya and the others. Come over and I have something to tell you."
Seeing his serious look, Lin Jinrong thought something had happened to the Lu family's deviation from the driveway again. He hurriedly handed Yilang to Pan, followed him into the backyard, walked into the bedroom, and asked, "What's wrong?" Yingying and others were waiting on the side.
Upon seeing this, they quickly retreated and closed the door.
As soon as the door was closed, Lu Yan hugged Lin Jinrong tightly. He hugged her so tightly that she couldn't breathe. There was a faint smell of sweat on his body, and it smelled strangely good, which was particularly pleasant.
Heart beating, Lin Jinrong heard her own heartbeat "dong dong", so she buried her head in Lu Yan's arms and hugged his waist tightly.
Lu Yan saw that her eyes were slightly closed, her eyelashes were trembling gently like butterfly wings, her cheeks were as delicate as peach blossoms, and her body was fragrant and soft. He couldn't help but feel excited. He kissed the top of her hair first, then lowered his head and pressed her lips together.
He stretched out her arms, wanting to strangle her waist. Lin Jinrong was breathless by him, but she didn't even want to move her fingertips. She just leaned in his arms and let him do whatever he wanted.
Lu Yan almost couldn't control himself when he saw her posture, but he still remembered that Lin Shiquan was waiting for him, so he finally resisted and let go of her, kissed her on the lips, and said with a smile: "Don't you think I stink? I myself
I feel sour and smelly. I'll take a bath and change clothes first, because I'm afraid Third Brother will be impatient."
After he took a bath, Lin Jinrong found a change of clothes, untied his hair and scrubbed him, and asked: "How is the situation at home? Is grandpa's health okay?"
Lu Mian enjoyed her care comfortably, his upper and lower eyelids kept fighting, and he almost fell asleep with his head tilted. He managed to cheer up and said: "Fortunately, my grandfather is a little weak, but as you said, he is not like my mother."
It’s so serious and scary.”
Normally, he didn't look scary, so I thought he would get better, but when he suddenly had an attack, there was no room for change. Lin Jinrong knew what was going on, but he couldn't explain it to Lu Yan, so he had to follow his will and said: "Then
That’s fine.”
Lu Yan briefly told her about the situation at home: "My grandfather was very angry because of my return, and he had an attack on my mother. I heard that my grandfather was obsessed with phlegm a few days ago, and it was his second uncle who sucked it out mouth to mouth. Later, he also
Extremely filial. My grandparents, parents-in-law, and my seventh brother are all very good, and the crops in the farm are also very good. This year will definitely be a good harvest..."
Although Lu Yan didn't say many things in detail, after listening to what he said, Lin Jinrong already had a rough idea of what had happened. It was just that the second room had done a good job during this period, and Lin Yuzhen felt stupid.
Digging one's own grave will lose people's hearts. You must be lenient. Lu Yan said: "My aunt has a bad temper. Don't care about it, otherwise you will still be angry with yourself. Speaking of which, after the wet nurse named Wen Niang was sent back, my aunt was gone.
Are you angry?"
"As long as you and Yi Lang are fine, how can I care so much? I left in a hurry, and my grandfather didn't allow me to stay at home for a long time. He didn't ask about this, and my mother didn't mention it either." Lin Yuzhen just resented him and Lin Jinrong for not following the arrangements.
It's enough, why bother mentioning this? Lu Yan stood up and wiped off the water droplets on his body, put on his robe and lay down on the couch. He eagerly called to Lin Jinrong: "Arong, come and wipe my hair."
She was confused. Lu Yan was a man, so of course he would not pay attention to such trivial things and people. Lin Jinrong took advantage of wiping his hair to talk to him about what he had done in Beijing these days. Mei Hui
When his mother comes to visit, Yilang can turn over, laugh, coax, etc. At first, Lu Mian would exchange words with her from time to time, but when she wiped his hair half dry, she realized that he had already fallen asleep.
past.
Running back and forth non-stop, even a tough guy couldn't bear it. Lin Jinrong sighed, covered him with a quilt, walked outside and ordered Yingtao to come in and clean up, and then told Chunya: "Second Master has fallen asleep, just
I'm afraid I won't even be able to get up to eat dinner. Let the kitchen prepare some convenient and delicious food so that it can be served as soon as I wake up. Then ask the third master if he will eat first now? "
Shaoqing and Chunya replied: "The third master said that he actually has no appetite and just wants to eat a bowl of noodles. If grandma is free, he has something to talk to grandma."
Let the kitchen staff make a bowl of noodles." Lin Jinrong was about to talk to Lin Shiquan, but when he heard what he said, he got what he wanted.
