Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

"Grandpa, it's me, Lin Ze."

When Lin Changgui heard Lin Ze's voice, he immediately sat up from the bed, came out in his shorts and opened the door for Lin Ze.

"Hey, my eldest grandson, why are you here so early?"

"Master, I'm from Pigeon City."

Before Lin Changgui opened the door, Lin Ze quietly put two bottles of Fenjiu and two bags of osmanthus cake into the backpack, and held two big fish in his hands.

After Lin Changgui opened the door, he immediately went into the yard and locked the door.

Lin Changgui looked at the door behind Lin Ze and saw that his eldest grandson was very skilled in locking the door. He asked, "Why are you reacting like this? Is someone chasing you?"

"Master, I exchanged some things in Pigeon City, and someone might have targeted me."

"Hey, my eldest grandson, what did you change?" Lin Changgui was about to help his grandson take off the backpack, which weighed at least more than 100 pounds.

"Xiao Ze, squat down and put the things down. You are so small, you must be exhausted, right?"

After Lin Ze took down the backpack, Lin Changgui took out the Fenjiu and cakes from the top of the basket, only then did he realize that the basket was full of rice and flour.

"Oh my god...?!" Lin Changgui immediately lowered his voice, "You exchanged all this rice and flour in Pigeon Market. Xiaoze, tell me, what did you exchange it with?"

Lin Ze raised the two big fish in his hand and said, "Master, I got these by fishing."

"Okay, my eldest grandson is really good at fishing." Lin Changgui was very receptive. He picked up Lin Ze's backpack and walked towards the kitchen.

As we walked, he asked, "Did you shake off your tail? If not, it's okay. There's Lao Ge guarding the fields at the entrance of the village."

"If it doesn't work, we still have a shotgun in the house, so we are not afraid."

"Yeah." Lin Ze raised the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, my tail has been shaken off."

"Did he get rid of it?" Lin Changgui looked at Lin Ze in surprise. "Xiao Ze is quite capable. He actually got rid of the person following him. Are you hungry? I'll call your grandma to get up and steam some buns for you."

"Master, no need for now. I'm too sleepy. I'll talk to you after I get some sleep."

As Lin Ze spoke, he walked towards the room his grandfather had reserved for him. Lin Changgui didn't say much, just nodded and let Lin Ze go to sleep.

Lin Ze was indeed a little tired, so he buried his head in the straw quilt at his grandfather's house and fell into a sound sleep.

Lin Ze was awakened by the smell of stewed fish in the yard. He stretched, put on his clothes and walked into the yard.

Grandma was making white flour pancakes while grandpa was cooking fish soup.

"Wake up, go wash your face and get ready for dinner." Grandma said with a smile.

Lin Ze walked to the wash basin and quickly washed up. Then he helped serve the dishes and rice, and everyone sat together to enjoy the delicious food.

"By the way, Xiaoze, you must hide the rice and flour you exchanged." Grandpa reminded.

"Grandpa, you don't need to hide the rice and flour, just put them in your room." Lin Ze said while eating the cake.

After dinner, Lin Ze chatted with his grandparents for a while, said he wanted to go out and play for a while, and then went out.

Lin Ze had planned to return to his grandparents' home. He was too thin now, and the meals that Li Xiuzhen gave him in the courtyard were too low in nutrition.

He took his two children out to eat, and without attracting envy, he could only eat half full.

If he wanted to replenish his nutrition and restore his body to its previous life's condition, he had to come to his grandfather's house.

Lin Ze carried an empty backpack and trotted all the way to Dongshan.

After running back and forth just one round, he was exhausted and out of breath. Fortunately, there was a little wild boar caught in the trap.

Lin Ze caught two more pheasants on the mountain, then put one of them in his backpack and went down the mountain.

"Uncle Ze, you're back in the village?" Lin Xiaohu raised his head from the field, saw Lin Ze, and greeted him excitedly.

"Well, back to the village." Lin Ze greeted him with a faint smile.

Hearing this, Lin Musheng also raised his head excitedly, "Xiao Ze, what good things did you hunt today?"

"Nothing." Lin Ze said in a low voice, "Uncle, you will know when you get home."

"Hey, good boy, you know how to hide your shortcomings." Lin Musheng touched his nose and didn't ask any more questions.

When Lin Ze returned to his grandfather's house, Lin Changgui was lying in a rocking chair, smoking leisurely.

Seeing Lin Ze coming back, Lin Changgui immediately sat up straight, "Grandson, why did you come back so late? Your grandma and I were so worried."

Lin Ze just smiled, "Master, I'm on the East Mountain. Lin Xiaohu and the others are watering the plants there. I'll call them if anything happens. There's nothing to worry about."

Seeing this, Grandpa Lin sat up from his chair and said, "Your grandma went to the lake behind to wash clothes. Xiaoze must be hungry. Grandpa will cook for you."

"No, please don't get up. I'll do the cooking."

As Lin Ze spoke, he put down the backpack and walked into the kitchen.

Lin Ze was willing to use rice and flour. He walked into his grandparents' bedroom and took out white flour from the space.

While stewing the young pheasant, put the white flour cake on the edge of the pot.

Just when the meal was almost ready, Grandma Liu Ying came back after washing the clothes. She was a little surprised when she smelled the fragrance in the house.

Grandma Liu Ying walked into the kitchen puzzled, and seeing Lin Ze busy, she smiled and asked, "Xiao Ze, when did you learn to cook?"

Lin Ze smiled mischievously and said, "I learned it from my mother in the courtyard."

Soon, the meal was ready. Lin Ze walked out of the kitchen with the steaming hot meal and called grandpa and grandma to come over for dinner.

The family sat around the dining table and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner. Grandpa Lin Changgui kept praising Lin Ze's cooking skills, while grandma Liu Ying couldn't stop smiling.

After dinner, Lin Ze chatted with his grandparents for a while and then returned to his room.

He lay in bed, thinking about his future life.

Although life in the courtyard was not easy, he was confident that he and his younger brothers and sisters could live a better life.

In this small mountain village full of family love, Lin Ze feels extremely warm and safe.

Lin Ze picked the corn grown in the space, and this time he planted cotton.

Everything about my grandparents' house is good except the beds, which are made of straw and are very uncomfortable.

[If cotton is planted successfully, should it be ripened quickly? 】

Lin Ze silently said in his heart, "Harvest it quickly."

[Using ten kilograms of lake mud, ripening was successful. 】

Lin Ze silently said, "Picking."

[The picking was successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 100 kilograms of ribbon cotton. ]

Lin Ze thought about it, and one hundred kilograms of cotton were immediately plucked, and ninety kilograms of pure white cotton were harvested.

Lin Ze was in the space, using his mind to control the cloth he bought. He fluffed the ninety kilograms of cotton and stuffed it into the cloth little by little. Soon, nine quilts, weighing ten kilograms each, were made.

Lin Ze placed the quilt on the straw, but felt that the bed was too soft, so he simply put the straw into the space.

[A blank black soil was detected. Should we plant it? ]

"Plant and ripen!"
