Snow melting days are always a little colder than snowy days. The streets are muddy and there are few pedestrians. However, in the afternoon, the aromatic medicine shop at the end of Qingyang Street lowered its door and stopped accepting customers.
The charcoal fire was burning brightly in the large shiny copper basin, making the house warm as spring. A half-broken pot of daffodils was placed on the table near the window, lonely and exuding its remaining fragrance.
Lin Shiquan picked up the teapot and poured a hot cup of tea soup for Lu Yan. He looked up at Lin Jinrong who was sitting aside and looking through the account books: "Arong, do you really want to do this?"
What Lin Jinrong was looking at was the accounts of Jiangnan's industry. Since he kept this from Lu Yan, he kept his eyes on all directions and his ears on all sides. When he heard the words, he looked up at him and smiled, with an undoubted tone: "Yes. This is what happened.
I wanted to do it last year, but it’s hard to do it too prominently in the hot filial piety, but now I can’t put it off any longer.”
Lin Shiquan looked at Lu Yan again and said tentatively: "It's not a big deal to set up a porridge shed to provide porridge. But if we want to set up a charity village, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of alarm and implication."
Lu Yan twirled the tea cup in his hand and said: "Next year Xiaoman will have no time to do this, so now is a good time. Since it is Ah Rong's wish..." He paused: "It is also her
With the money I earn, I don’t think anyone would pick on me. So I have to ask my third brother for help.” After saying this, he bowed deeply to Lin Shiquan.
Lin Shiquan hurriedly stood up and returned the gift: "I am a brother, so I should help. But Ah Rong should find a strong helper." After all, Lin Jinrong and Lu Mian's faces are still too young to support this.
When things happen, you have to find a reputable elder to support you.
Lin Jinrong was already prepared: "In the next few days, I plan to go with Erlang to visit Mr. Zhu. Mrs. Zhu is a warm-hearted person." That's where she comes from. She knew these things from Mrs. Zhu.
Presumably the teachers and wives can also give her a lot of useful suggestions. If the gentlemen come forward, Lu Jianxin will not have much to say.
When Lin Shiquan heard this, he knew that she had already thought about it, so he stopped trying to persuade her and turned to the matter of shipping: "I'm already prepared to lose money."
Although Lu Yan had heard Lin Jinrong talk about this incident a long time ago and was somewhat mentally prepared, when he heard what Lin Shiquan said and thought about the heavy losses suffered by his family, he still couldn't help but feel eclipsed: "The third brother also thinks it's more dangerous than good?"
Lin Shiquan nodded: "Yes, I have stayed in Huating County for a long time in the past few years. I often go to some shops to pick up goods, and I have heard them talk about it. Most of them go from Huating County.
Those who left were all from Korea and Japan. If they could come back, they would have come back a long time ago.
I haven't been here for more than a year. It's probably because something happened." He looked up at Lin Jinrong and sighed: "Fortunately, I listened to Ah Rong's advice at that time." Then he patted Lu Yan on the shoulder comfortingly: "I hope it's because of other reasons.
There is a reason for the delay, but if it is not the case, then you should give up your wealth to avoid disaster."
Lu Yan forced a smile: "It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided." But he knew in his heart that the elders in the family would definitely not think so, and they really could only hope for good luck.
Lin Shiquan said: "It's good that you think so. You can stay for dinner. We haven't gotten together for a long time. I'll have someone arrange a plain dinner."
Lu Yan immediately responded: "That's the plan."
Lin Jinrong closed the account book and said with a smile: "I will personally cook two side dishes for you to try."
Lin Shiquan scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed: "How old is it that my fourth sister can cook with her own hands, but I don't know what's in the kitchen. Besides, this place is narrow and not as good as your small kitchen at home. It's probably dirty."
"
Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "What's wrong with life?" After saying that, he left the bracelets, rings and other items on his hands. He rolled up his sleeves and went outside to the kitchen. Lin Shiquan hurriedly followed him out: "I'll make arrangements.
one time."
The two brothers and sisters left the room one after another. Lin Shiquan quickly followed Lin Jinrong and whispered: "Are you still determined to hide the matter in Jiangnan from him?" Since they have given birth to a child, and now the couple is deeply in love,
I'm afraid I'll get into trouble if I hide it any more.
Lin Jinrong whispered: "It's not time to tell yet. Don't worry, Third Brother, I will choose the right time to tell him." The household registration that Wu Xiang had prepared for her was of no use at all. If she could survive by chance,
She doesn't need to live in that way. If she dies, there will be no meaning. As for those properties, let's not mention them for now.
"Yes, if the Lu family is unlucky this time, people will inevitably be upset. It is not a good idea to let them know too much. It is better to stabilize things first." Lin Shiquan raised his voice and told the cook: "Listen to the arrangements of the second grandma."
On this day, Lin Jinrong washed his hands to make soup and prepared several special vegetarian dishes. Lu Yan drank vegetarian wine and talked with Lin Shiquan from afternoon to evening, talking about last year's famine, the extravagance of the imperial court, and the extravagance of the imperial court.
When it came to the war in the Northern Desert, at the end, when I thought of Lu Lun, I sighed again.
When the two returned home, the lanterns were already on, they washed and repaired briefly, then went hand in hand to greet Lu Jianxin and his wife, and took Yilang home by the way.
Lu Jianxin couldn't get out of bed that day. The big toe of his left foot was red, swollen and shiny, and he grimaced in pain. He couldn't sleep all night and was a little irritable for no reason. Although Lin Yuzhen was always with him, most of his thoughts were on Yi Lang.
He said that Yilang was not allowed to eat sweets or play rope-turning, so Lin Jinrong got Yilang a ball. It happened that Yilang was very interested in this ball. He would hold it whether he was sleeping or eating, let alone doing nothing.
While on.
As a result, all day long, Lu Jianxin's ears were filled with the muffled sound of the ball hitting the ground and bouncing back. It was so noisy that he felt restless and upset. He glared at him, and Yilang shrank into Lin Yuzhen's arms. He couldn't bear it for a long time.
Then he moved the ball to
Throwing it on the ground, she cautiously looked at his reaction. Repeatedly, he was helpless. Besides, even Lin Yuzhen said he was harsh, mocking him because he had not had children around him for many years and could not understand anything.
Looking at Lin Yuzhen, a few ladies, as well as Ah Rou and Xiaoxing, they were all happily surrounding and teasing Yi Lang. Lu Jianxin himself felt that it was so boring to embarrass a child, but it was really
It was too noisy. Even if Aunt He was gentle and considerate, she could not dispel his worries, so he wanted Lin Jinrong and Lu Yan to come quickly and take away this energetic and ghostly little devil.
When he suddenly heard that Lu Yan and Lin Jinrong were back, Lu Jianxin's throbbing brain relaxed. Only then did he hear someone calling someone under the curtain, and he immediately said: "Come in quickly."
Lu Yan and Lin Jinrong came in. They saluted Lu Jianxin and Lin Yuzhen first and said hello. After checking on the patient, An An sat down. Lu Yan saw that Yi Lang was still playing non-stop. Knowing that Lu Jianxin came to love Jing, he was afraid that he would have been bored for a long time.
He took Yilang's ball away and said, "You've been playing with this all day, have you disturbed your grandfather?"
Lu Jianxin said calmly: "Children..." This confirmed the fact that he was really quarreled by Yilang.
With a smile on her lips, Lin Jinrong held Yilang in her arms and thanked Lin Yuzhen in a low voice: "This child is so naughty, I must be annoying you to the core."
Lin Yuzhen didn't like hearing what she said. She frowned slightly and said with a straight face: "I am his grandmother. If you don't bother me, why bother others?" Tu wanted to take him over to play, but he was ill.
Lu Jianli would not be bothered by it, and he would be happy to do so, but she must be willing to give it up, because he is clearly her grandson.
Lin Jinrong laughed and said softly, "It's my daughter-in-law who can't speak."
In other words, since he was going to be Yi Lang's grandfather, he shouldn't be bothered. Lu Jianxin glanced at Lin Jinrong, who was smiling cheerfully, and truly felt that this woman was really thoughtful.
Lu Yan hurriedly made a mistake and offered the folk remedy he had found with both hands: "The medicine is ready. Dad will try it tonight. Maybe he will be able to get out of bed tomorrow."
Lu Jianxin ordered Aunt He to accept it and said gently, "I'm embarrassing you."
Lu Yan said with a bit of fear: "Why did father say that? This is filial piety and it is what it should be."
Lu Jianxin nodded, his tone was a bit casual, and after asking him some trivial matters outside, he closed his eyes and planned to send them away.
Lu Jian hurriedly said: "My son has something to report to his father. He hasn't visited Mr. Dezhu for a long time. My son wants to visit his old man."
Lu Jianxin did not embarrass him: "It should be."
Lu Yan added: "Yi Lang hasn't been there since he was born, so he should go and kowtow."
Lu Jianxin glanced at Lin Jinrong indifferently, but seeing Lin Jinrong looking at her nose and nose, looking at her heart, looking dignified and elegant, he asked: "Is my daughter-in-law going too?"
Lin Jinrong hurriedly stood up and said in a low voice: "Returning to father-in-law, all the teachers and wives have also taught their daughters-in-law before."
Lu Jianxin said "hmm", lowered his eyes and didn't know what to think. After a long time he said: "Go, be careful in everything you say and do, don't lose the rules and etiquette. Say hello to the gentlemen for me and invite him to be my guest."
He also told Lin Yuzhen: "Prepare a generous gift. It is thanks to him that Erlang is where he is today."
Lin Jinrong and Lu Yan retreated together and walked outside the yard. Lin Jinrong asked Lu Yan in a low voice: "Why didn't you tell your father-in-law about opening a soup kitchen?"
Lu Yan said: "You are too impatient. Let's wait until I get back from Mr. Zhu. Let's talk about it now. If I say it now, I will definitely know that it is your idea. Even if I can agree, it will take a lot of effort." Look at Shuangquan.
The rubber ball in my hand, forbearance
She couldn't help but sigh: "You...how did you happen to pick such a toy?" Couldn't you tell that Lu Jianxin had a great opinion of her? She was facing Lu Jianxin. Thinking of Lu Jianxin's face when they entered the door.
The relieved face couldn't help but be a little funny.
Lin Jinrong refused to admit: "Yilang likes it, but I didn't pick it specially." Lu Jianxin wants to use his method to educate Yilang, but that depends on her willingness. Her child is still just a child, but
It's not just a lump of wood. Lu Jianxin wanted to cut off his liveliness at such a young age, but she refused.
Lu Yan did not criticize her. He only took Yi Lang over and whispered: "Grandpa is ill. You are not allowed to disturb him. Be good and sensible."
Yilang smiled sweetly: "Okay."
