After dinner, Lin Wanwan was being guided one-on-one by Heng Wu to play with the konghou to digest her food. At this moment, Sun Chueyao rushed over from the corridor in the rain, followed by the two brothers Lin Mengbo and Lin Mengjin.
Both of them had water on their faces, and each held a wooden bucket filled with seafood in their hands.
Lin Wanwan hurriedly welcomed the two people into the door. Yun Shang and Hong Yan retreated and got cloth towels to wipe the water on their bodies.
"Why did the two cousins come to deliver seafood to me in the rain? Is there anything else?" Lin Wanwan asked.
Lin Mengbo and Lin Mengjin looked at each other, and the latter coughed dryly and said sheepishly: "I have something to trouble you Wanwan."
At this time, Yunshang and Hongyan brought the gauze towels to them and handed them to them.
"No, no, it doesn't matter if it's just a little wet." The two refused repeatedly. How could they have such a good gauze towel to wipe it with?
"Brothers, please don't be polite. This is a gauze towel prepared for guests. Use it to wipe the rain off your body, and be careful not to catch a cold. Summer wind and cold are not easy to cure." Lin Wanwan explained at the side.
"Then...we won't be polite."
Lin Mengbo and Lin Mengjin each had a gauze towel and wiped the water off their bodies. While wiping, the latter kicked the wooden bucket that had just been put down and said, "These are the snails and a few blue crabs that I picked up from the sea in the afternoon."
, Wanwan, you can eat something fresh these two days."
"It turns out that you are the ones who were fishing at the beach in the afternoon. The two brothers are too courageous. What if they are swept away by the wind and waves?"
Lin Mengbo shook his head and said: "I didn't go, it was the eldest brother and uncle who were searching for the sea. I just helped him carry it over."
Lin Mengjin touched the back of his head and said a little awkwardly: "It's like this. The wind and rain today were so strong that a piece of the roof of our house was ripped off. The rainwater leaked directly into my bed and I couldn't sleep in it. My wife
The room with my father also leaked badly. The wooden buckets, basins, and bowls used to collect water were already placed on the floor. Tonight, I was looking after the house to pour water, and everyone in the family had to go to Meng Bo's house...
There is just no place to put the children."
Lin Wanwan understood. She immediately smiled and said without waiting for the other party to speak: "Then quickly bring all the children to my place. I have a lot of empty rooms. Cousin Meng Jin, you don't have to squeeze in. Come and live together.
alright."
Lin Mengjin waved his hand quickly: "No need, Meng Bo's family has land. I have to look after the house tonight anyway. I've made arrangements, so it doesn't matter to me."
Lin Wanwan tried to persuade her a few more times, but the other party still declined, so she gave up: "Have you had dinner? If you don't want to eat, eat some from my place. There's still some in the pot."
"That's good, my family won't be able to get food today. Then I won't be polite and come to eat from the big family."
As long as Patriarch Lin doesn't stare, everyone still likes to eat and drink at Lin Wanwan's place. Who can refuse this delicacy in the world!
"Welcome!" Lin Wanwan said with a smile, and then ordered Sun Huiyao to invite the children and two sisters-in-law.
"No, they will make their own food."
"That won't work. Since you've all eaten at my house, it's natural to get everything in order." Lin Wanwan smiled and winked at Sun Hueyao, who withdrew smartly.
He had been standing on the porch wearing a raincoat before and had not entered the house. It was very convenient to leave at this time.
After a while, the children were all brought over. Lin Wanwan's two cousins naturally did not follow. They were not as shameless as their men, who would eat at other people's houses and would rather eat a steamed bun at home.
Lin Mengbo and Lin Mengjin were direct cousins, but their relationship with Lin Wanwan was far away. It was already embarrassing for the children to trouble her, but how could the adults follow them.
Although Lin Wanwan has always been kinder to them than other clan members, that is because they are very good at doing things.
If they were a family that liked to take advantage, Lin Wanwan might not have as good a relationship with them as they do now.
After Lin Mengbo and Lin Mengjin each had a bowl of rice at Lin Wanwan's house, the latter pushed away the shopping money that Lin Wanwan was about to hand to him, jokingly saying that it was the room and food expenses for the children.
Lin Wanwan saw that he refused to accept it, so she gave up.
Going to sea today, Lin Mengjin must have gained a lot besides the two barrels of hard-shell seafood he brought to Lin Wanwan. Otherwise, the house would leak so much that no one could live in it, and he wouldn't be so happy.
The fish, shrimps and crabs that you catch from the sea are your own private property and you don’t have to share it with others. You can put it in your own small wallet. It’s not like sailing out to sea to fish, where everyone works together and shares the money.
After Lin Mengjin and Lin Mengbo's cousins left, Lin Wanwan looked at the children having fun at home and sighed secretly.
Even Lin Mengjin's family, who lives in a stone and oyster shell house, suffered. I'm afraid other families will not have it easy either. This typhoon is really violent.
After nightfall, the storm indeed became more violent. Compared with the wind and rain during the day, it was nothing compared to what it was now.
The children were not afraid of the wind and rain outside. In the main room of Lin Wanwan's house, where several palace lanterns were lit, everyone had a great time playing hide-and-seek.
Little Qingyu has been stuck at home for two days due to the typhoon. How can she not be happy now that she has a playmate?
The little friends in these tribes are different from Rongrong and the book boys who are cautious about her, and everyone has more fun playing.
Lin Mengjin's family gave birth to two daughters and one son, namely the eldest Lin Taohua, the second eldest Lin Tiezhu, and the third eldest Lin Hehua; while Lin Mengbo's family had two children, the eldest Xiao Crab and the second eldest Da Ya. Lin Qin's belly is now
I'm pregnant with another baby, just two months old.
Lin Wanwan originally wanted Lin Mengbo to send the pregnant woman to her place. Now that their family is squeezed into his uncle's family, it is probably very inconvenient. But Lin Mengbo declined his kindness, saying that such a difficulty is nothing, the naughty children are all
It has been sent to Lin Wanwan, what else can cause any inconvenience to them adults.
The children who were noisy at home did not dare to make too much noise when they came to Lin Wanwan's place. After all, there were two wives, Lin Wanwan and Heng Wu, who were there. In other words, the most naughty boy in the family, Lin Tiezhu, was not afraid of his wife and was always sweet-talking.
Flatter Lin Wanwan.
Compared with other children who turned into quails when they saw Lin Wanwan, Lin Wanwan actually liked Lin Tiezhu, who had a high emotional intelligence. This child had a grudge against "Zhihu Zheye", otherwise Lin Wanwan would definitely train him to pass the exam and join the gentry in the future.
But it's not completely hopeless now. Lin Tiezhu's arithmetic is still pretty good.
Now he is only eight years old. When he gets older, Lin Wanwan will send him to the Wang Family Private School in Xiaoxi Town to receive the orthodox arithmetic education of the Tang Dynasty. He will try to pass the arithmetic test in the future. Even if he fails, he will return to Luan County after being gilded in Chang'an.
He should also be able to work as a small civil servant in the county government.
