The ancestral residence of the Lin family is a five-entry courtyard with east and west courtyards.
It was the first time for Su Ling to come here, and he was really surprised to see such a large and complete house.After going through that era, it was not easy for the Lin clan to keep their ancestral house intact.
Due to the large number of yards, there are also many people living in it. Mrs. Lin left early, Mr. Lin lived alone in the small courtyard of the main house, and the others were arranged according to their seniority. The other courtyards have been allocated long ago, and only the fourth courtyard on the west side of the courtyard is left for him. The layout is a bit smaller, but the fifth courtyard connected behind has built a small garden with rockery, rocks, small ponds and small bridges. The scenery is better than other courtyards. Much more graceful.
The car was parked in the parking lot at the front door of the ancestral house, and the people who had worked in the yard for a long time came forward to greet them. When they learned that the head of this generation had returned, they all looked respectful and enthusiastically helped unload the luggage.
Opening the trunk of the car, I was stunned for a moment when I saw that it was full of rice bags and tea boxes.
Lin Feng was carrying a small suitcase, and stood by the car with Su Ling. Seeing the confusion of the staff, he said, "These are the rice and tea that Su Ling grew in the countryside. Grandpa's birthday, he specially brought them back for everyone to taste."
The staff were even more shocked when they heard this, and looked at Su Ling who was standing beside Lin Feng in disbelief.
Mr. Su, who is fair and gentle, will go to the countryside to farm?
It's unbelievable, right?
Su Ling said modestly: "Actually, the villagers planted it with their help, so I will help."
He spoke calmly, and the surprise in the staff's eyes still lingered for a long time.With Mr. Su's identity and status, it is unexpected enough that he is willing to go to the ground.
The staff carried the rice and carried the tea leaves to the yard, back and forth several times, which aroused the curiosity of others.
Su Ling and Lin Feng entered the courtyard, walked a long way, and arrived at the fourth courtyard of Xikuanyuan.Although no one has lived here for a long time, there are usually people cleaning it. Today I learned that they came back, and Aunt Zhou, who took care of the yard, tidied up the house early.
In modern times, no matter how old the yard is, modern facilities have been added, such as water, electricity, coal, air conditioners, refrigerators, TVs, etc., are all available.
There is a kitchen in the yard, Aunt Zhou cooked sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice balls, and when Su Ling and Lin Feng arrived, they just opened the pot and ate them.
After not coming back for a long time, Su Ling was not used to it for a while, sitting in the dining room, quietly eating glutinous rice balls.
The glutinous rice balls are delicious, glutinous but not greasy. When you bite them lightly, the thick sesame filling flows out. It is fragrant and sweet in your mouth. The soup with sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance is very satisfying.
"Mr. Su looks thinner than before." Aunt Zhou said.
"Huh? No?" Su Ling put down the spoon and touched his cheek, "Maybe there was a little baby fat before?"
Lin Feng looked up at him and said, "It's true that I lost weight. I just got sick a while ago."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhou asked worriedly, "Why are you sick? Are you feeling better now?"
Su Ling hurriedly said: "Okay, good morning! It's just a common cold and fever, just take medicine and you'll be fine."
Under the table, he stepped on Lin Feng's leather shoes.
How can you casually bring up such a thing as having a fever?In case Aunt Zhou got to the bottom of it, he would have to dig out an underground palace with his toes in embarrassment?
Hearing that he had recovered from his illness, Aunt Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You should pay attention to your health at ordinary times, and you can't just rely on your youth to do whatever you want. Now that your body is overdrawn, you will have to pay it back in the future."
"Yes, yes, I see, Aunt Zhou." Su Ling bit the spoon and nodded obediently.He is good-looking, with beautiful eyes, and he is especially likable when he is good-looking. Aunt Zhou looked at him with kind eyes.
She has worked in the Lin family for 30 years, and she takes care of all the big and small affairs of the Xikuanyuan. She almost watched Lin Feng grow up and loved him like his own child. Care and care.
It's a pity that young people are not used to living in old houses, they like to move out, and they don't see each other a few times throughout the year. It's rare that they came back today. Aunt Zhou is trying to treat them well in different ways.
After eating glutinous rice balls, the two went to the main courtyard to visit the old man.
The old man is old and loves quietness. The yard he lives in is not big, but the layout is elegant. The yard is full of flowers, plants and trees, and there is a pond of koi in the corner. The joy of the old man every day is to make a pot of tea and sit at the stone table to enjoy the scenery. Fish feed fish.
When Su Ling and Lin Feng arrived, he was holding a handful of fish food and sprinkled it into the pond. Hundreds of koi gathered in one place, shining red and rippling in the water.
Seeing Lin Feng holding Su Ling's hand into the yard, the old man threw all the fish food in his hand into the pond, clapped his hands, and looked at them kindly.
"Back?" he asked with a smile.
"Yes, Grandpa." Lin Feng said respectfully.
"Hi, Grandpa." Su Ling greeted politely.
"Okay, okay, come and sit." The old man greeted them to sit at the stone table together. He is in his nineties, his hair, beard and eyebrows are all white, his body is thin but healthy, he was handsome when he was young, and he has more wrinkles when he is older. The eyes are still piercing.
After the two sat down, he shouted angrily into the room: "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang—"
"Hey, here, here." A middle-aged man ran out of the room, holding a plate of cherries in his hand. It was Zhang Yuan, the nutritionist who usually took care of the old man.The eyes of the two young people in front of the stone table lit up, and he said with a smile, "Hey, Xiao Feng and Xiao Ling are here? Let's try these red lantern cherries together, they are big and sweet."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang." Su Ling politely took one.
"Xiao Zhang, go and remake the pot of tea." The old man said.
"I'll go right away." Zhang Yuan put down the cherries, picked up the teapot and cups on the table, and went back to the house to make tea again.
The old man wiped his fingers with a wet towel, picked up a cherry, put it in his mouth, tasted the sweetness, and nodded with satisfaction.
"You two eat too, don't just sit and watch." He urged the two young men.
"I'm eating, Grandpa." Su Ling took a cherry and handed it to Lin Feng. Lin Feng took his hand and ate it directly, his lips touched Su Ling's fingertips intentionally or unintentionally.
Su Ling glared at him.In front of the elderly, restrain yourself a little!
Lin Fengfeng didn't change his expression, picked a big cherry and fed it back to Su Ling.
Su Ling didn't eat it, and it didn't matter if he didn't eat it, his cheeks were slightly flushed.
The old man is quite happy to see the intimacy of the two children, and he is not as prejudiced against this son-in-law as others.After all, after living for a long time, what kind of big storms have you never seen before?Back then when the grandson wanted to marry a man, he was opposed by all his uncles. He was the only one who called Su Ling over to chat for a while. After a few words, he found out his nature. He was a good boy and had a deep affection for his grandson, so he agreed. their marriage.
Although there was no big wedding banquet held outside, a grand Chinese wedding ceremony was held in the ancestral house of the Lin family, and the Lin family members were invited to drink banquet wine.
Su Ling and the old man have a common language.
The old man likes to collect paintings and calligraphy, especially master Zhang Qianyi's paintings. When he learned that Su Ling was Zhang Qianyi's closed disciple, he was very happy, and he chatted with him very enthusiastically.
Seeing that the old man really liked the teacher's painting, Su Ling went to the teacher's place to polish a picture and donated it to the old man. The old man was so happy and smiled like a child.
"I heard that your teacher held an art exhibition recently?" the old man asked.
"Yes, it was held at the JSK Convention and Exhibition Center four days ago. I took a video here. Grandpa wants to watch it?" Su Ling took out his phone and clicked on the photo album.
"You have to watch it, of course you have to watch it." The old man took the video that Su Ling had opened and watched it with relish.
Su Ling took a total of three short videos, each of which lasted more than ten minutes. The artist's shooting angle was strong, and each painting was shot clearly, beautifully and magnificently.
The old man looked at it for a while, put down his phone, and rubbed his eyes. "I'm old, I can't see clearly."
Su Ling said: "It's because the phone is small, so it's inconvenient to read."
Zhang Yuan brewed new tea and put it gently on the stone table. Hearing the conversation between the two, he poured the tea and said, "There is an IPAD in the room. The screen is big and you can see it clearly."
Lin Feng got up: "Where do you put it, I'll get it."
Zhang Yuandao: "It was placed on the bedside of the old man's room. Last night he secretly watched TV until eleven o'clock. I caught him."
The old man said angrily, "What do I call peeping?"
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Yes, yes, you are looking at it openly."
The old man picked up the teacup, blew on it, took a sip, and looked proud.
Zhang Yuan didn't argue with him either.When a person gets old, his temper becomes more and more like that of a child, and he often has to obey him, otherwise he will lose his temper, which is hard to persuade.
Lin Feng went into the room and took the IPAD, Su Ling passed the video over, and the big screen really saw it clearly.
"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of Master Zhang, the painting is really good." The old man muttered while appreciating, "I wanted to go to the scene to see it, but they said that I was about to reach my [-]th birthday, so I couldn't walk around and was stuck in this small courtyard. I was so bored every day, I missed Master Zhang’s painting exhibition for nothing.”
Seeing that he was watching seriously, the others didn't bother. They sat by the side drinking tea and eating cherries. After the old man had finished watching, they finally put down their IPADs with satisfaction.
"When will your teacher hold an art exhibition next time?" He asked Su Ling.
"It's hard to say." Su Ling said, "But next time the teacher holds an art exhibition, I will tell you in advance."
The old man nodded repeatedly. "Speak half a month in advance."
Su Ling replied, "Yes."
After drinking tea, the old man said he was tired and wanted to go into the house to lie down, Su Ling and Lin Feng helped him in, and then left, Zhang Yuan sent them to the gate of the courtyard.
After seeing the old man, I will naturally go to visit my parents-in-law next.
Lin Lihong was the eldest son, and he lived in the middle of the main courtyard. On the old man's birthday, it was up to him and Rong Siqiu to entertain the guests.
When Su Ling and Lin Feng arrived, there were several people sitting in the living room. Rong Siqiu was wearing an elegant cheongsam, with jade around his neck and jade bracelets on his wrists, looking graceful, dignified and elegant.
Seeing his son and daughter-in-law coming, Rong Siqiu waved to them.
"It can be regarded as coming back." She looked at Su Ling and frowned slightly, "I went to the countryside, and I lost weight."
Su Ling smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't lose much weight. I worked in the countryside every day, and my body became stronger."
Rong Siqiu asked him to sit beside her, Lin Feng wanted to sit down with her, but she kicked him away. "Your father has something to do with you. He is in the study. You go to find him yourself."
Lin Feng stood still, staring at Su Ling.
How could Rong Siqiu fail to notice his son's protection of his wife, every time he came back to the ancestral house, he would not take a step away from Su Ling, as if he was afraid of being bullied.
Su Ling nudged his shoulder and winked at him. "Go, I'll sit with mom for a while."
Lin Feng left unwillingly.
As soon as he left, the middle-aged woman sitting opposite smiled and narrowed her eyes. "Oh, sister-in-law, Xiao Feng is indeed the son of the eldest brother, and he likes to cling to his wife."
"No seriousness." Rong Siqiu gave her a light look, and said to Su Ling, "Don't listen to your aunt's nonsense."
Su Ling could only keep smiling politely.
This middle-aged woman is Lin Feng's aunt, named Lin Yawen. She is 59 years old this year. She has a bright personality and a manly demeanor. She wears neutral suit pants, has short hair cut neatly, and has a well-maintained and pretty face. Looks ten years younger than her actual age.
"I'm not talking nonsense, am I, sister-in-law three?" Lin Yawen asked the old lady in the purple dress beside her.
Jiang Lihua picked up the teacup, blew on it, and said unhurriedly: "I'm getting older, and my memory is bad. I'll almost forget what happened decades ago."
Unable to get support, Lin Yawen turned to ask another person. "Third sister-in-law forgot, fourth sister-in-law never forgot, right?"
The fourth sister-in-law Shen Man also gave an ambiguous answer, just refusing to fall into the trap.
Lin Yawen had no choice but was given a good meal by Rong Siqiu and said, "You are not serious in front of children, thanks to your age."
"I'm only 59 years old, and I'm still young!" Lin Yawen raised an eyebrow at Su Ling, "Is that right, Xiao Su?"
"Yes, the first time we met, I thought my aunt was only 30 years old." Su Ling said.It's the truth. When I first came to the ancestral house, I saw Lin Yawen, who was walking like flying, shrewd and capable, and thought she was some "cousin". But when Lin Feng introduced her as his aunt, Su Ling was shocked.
"This kid's mouth is sweet." Lin Yawen looked kindly, took out a small box from the designer bag he carried with him, and handed it to Su Ling, "Come, this is a gift from my aunt."
"Ah... this..." Su Ling hesitated to answer, and looked at her mother-in-law as if asking for help.
"Take it." Rong Siqiu said, "It's just a small square seal, it's not worth much, and your aunt will give one away to anyone she catches."
Only then did Su Ling take it, and opened the box to see that there was a small jade seal inside, milky yellow, delicate in texture, moist as fat, it was actually a piece of high-quality Hetian jade.
How is this worthless?
Obviously very valuable!
It's more than a dozen or 20 if you give it away casually, the aunt's hand is really generous.
"Thank you, Auntie." After all, Su Ling was born in a wealthy family, so it's no surprise that he was used to such a small situation, so he put away the jade seal graciously.
"Yawen gave gifts, and we elders have to give them too." Not to be outdone, Jiang Lihua and Shen Man took out a small brocade box from their bags and gave them to Su Ling.
Su Ling smiled shyly on the face, but complained inwardly.After receiving the gift, I have to sit here to chat with him. I wanted to just sit for a while and slip away, but now I can't.
The third aunt gave him a string of red sandalwood beads bracelet, and the fourth aunt gave him a bottle of ambergris perfume, which was very valuable.
The guests are all given away, how can Rong Siqiu, who is a mother-in-law, not give away?
She directly took off a jade plate from her finger and handed it to Su Ling. "Last month, I went to Burma to gamble on a small stone. I cut out the imperial green glass and made a pair of earrings and a fingerboard. After I wear the earrings, the fingerboard will be given to you."
Su Ling looked at the jade fingerboard in his palm and felt a lot of pressure.
The glass kind of imperial green!
Can be met but not sought!
A small fingerboard, tens of millions more!
"Mom...this is too precious..."
"I only spent 5 yuan on raw materials, which is not expensive at all."
Rong Siqiu didn't care about authenticity.Gambling with stones is gambling luck. At that time, she bought it casually. She didn't expect to get any good material, but she didn't know that if she cut it with a knife, she would see green. The [-] rose to hundreds of millions in an instant, which made others envious.
But for her, the cost price is only 5 yuan, and a fingerboard for Su Ling is only [-] to [-] yuan.
My mother-in-law said so, what can Su Ling do?
I can only wear it obediently.
Well, the presents are all received, so let's chat with you at ease!
So, he chatted and laughed with the three old ladies calmly, and when Lin Yawen asked him what he was doing in the countryside, he told them interesting stories about Shixi Village.
"Yeah, you still farm the fields yourself?" Lin Yawen looked at Su Ling in surprise, it was hard to imagine that such a young man like a nobleman would condescend to work in the field.
"Most of the village is self-sufficient. I can't go to the vegetable market in the town to buy vegetables every day. Anyway, there is space in the backyard, so I learned how to grow them." Su Ling said, "I can pick and eat the vegetables I grow at home. They are fresh, tender and delicious. They taste very good. "
"Hearing what you said, I want to eat it." Lin Yawen said, "When I have time, I will also go to Phoenix Mountain to play."
"Speaking of Phoenix Mountain, did Xiao Feng buy a piece of land there?" Jiang Lihua asked.
Rong Siqiu took a sip of the teacup and said, "It wasn't Xiaofeng who bought it, but Zhiyuan from the second family's."
"Zhiyuan? He's not..." Shen Man frowned.What Lin Zhiyuan did has already been spread among relatives. This kind of person who takes advantage of his position, embezzles huge sums of money from the company, transfers it overseas, and uses it for his own use is simply a wolf-hearted person, not a thing.
Just as he was talking, a new guest entered the courtyard, and two four or five-year-old children ran into the living room, and they came over without any fear and shouted sweetly.
"Hello grandma, hello great aunt!"
The child was young, so he yelled at a few old ladies, and it was Su Ling's turn, so he got stuck.
"Call uncle." The old lady who followed behind reminded them.
The child obediently called Su Ling "uncle."
Immediately, the seniority was raised, Su Ling picked up the snacks on the table and gave them to them, the two children took them, climbed onto the chairs and sat down to eat.
Rong Siqiu said to Su Ling: "Your second aunt is here, go and make a pot of scented tea again."
"Okay." Su Ling got up, picked up the empty teapot and cups on the table and went to the kitchen.
The second aunt is Cen Guixiang, the wife of the second uncle Lin Lihao, and the mother of Lin Zhiyuan. These two children are her great-grandchildren.
Lin Zhiyuan did something immoral, as a mother, she didn't avoid suspicion, and instead brought her great-grandson to visit, wondering what kind of medicine she sold in her gourd.
"Oh, I'll just sit here, I don't need to make a special soak." Cen Guixiang smiled politely. He was already sitting next to his granddaughter, took out a handkerchief, and wiped her hands covered with pastry crumbs.
Of course Su Ling listened to her mother-in-law's advice, and went into the kitchen on her own, stealing a short break.
So, he doesn't like to come to the ancestral house of the Lin family, everyone lives in the same place, it's too convenient to visit, and the chats are endless.
The second aunt specially picked this time and brought two children with her, obviously she came prepared.
Probably got the letter, Lin Feng went back to his ancestral home today, so he was in a hurry to use his status as an elder to ask his teacher for his crimes.
However, Su Ling wasn't worried at all, and his mother-in-law wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp either.
He was making scented tea patiently. Several old ladies in the living room were chattering away, but they didn't get into the topic. I don't know if it was intentional, but Cen Guixiang brought the topic to the child.
"Sister-in-law, you see my great-grandson is so big, when will your family's Lin Feng give you a grandson?"
Su Ling held the brewed scented tea and stood at the kitchen door with her lips pursed.
Rong Siqiu, a mother-in-law, didn't rush her, but outsiders were in a hurry.
"Both Lin Feng and Su Ling are still young." She said calmly.
Cen Guixiang smiled ambiguously. "Both of them are men, how did the child come? I heard from my Zhiyuan that he has invested in a biological research company abroad and is researching artificial wombs. If Lin Feng is interested, I will ask Zhiyuan to help."
"Don't bother Second Aunt."
Lin Feng's indifferent voice suddenly sounded, and he came out of the study, probably having an unpleasant conversation with his father, with a chill in his body, and Cen Guixiang's topic hit the gun point, which attracted his sharp eyes and cold expression.
The author has something to say: I haven’t fixed the typo yet, I will fix it tomorrow and replace it~ It’s too late today, I’m going to bed first, please ignore the typo!
It was the first time for Su Ling to come here, and he was really surprised to see such a large and complete house.After going through that era, it was not easy for the Lin clan to keep their ancestral house intact.
Due to the large number of yards, there are also many people living in it.

She has worked in the Lin family for 30 years, and she takes care of all the big and small affairs of the Xikuanyuan. She almost watched Lin Feng grow up and loved him like his own child. Care and care.
It's a pity that young people are not used to living in old houses, they like to move out, and they don't see each other a few times throughout the year. It's rare that they came back today. Aunt Zhou is trying to treat them well in different ways.
After eating glutinous rice balls, the two went to the main courtyard to visit the old man.

"When will your teacher hold an art exhibition next time?" He asked Su Ling.
"It's hard to say." Su Ling said, "But next time the teacher holds an art exhibition, I will tell you in advance."
The old man nodded repeatedly. "Speak half a month in advance."
Su Ling replied, "Yes."
After drinking tea, the old man said he was tired and wanted to go into the house to lie down, Su Ling and Lin Feng helped him in, and then left, Zhang Yuan sent them to the gate of the courtyard.
After seeing the old man, I will naturally go to visit my parents-in-law next.
Lin Lihong was the eldest son, and he lived in the middle of the main courtyard. On the old man's birthday, it was up to him and Rong Siqiu to entertain the guests.
When Su Ling and Lin Feng arrived, there were several people sitting in the living room. Rong Siqiu was wearing an elegant cheongsam, with jade around his neck and jade bracelets on his wrists, looking graceful, dignified and elegant.
Seeing his son and daughter-in-law coming, Rong Siqiu waved to them.
"It can be regarded as coming back." She looked at Su Ling and frowned slightly, "I went to the countryside, and I lost weight."
Su Ling smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't lose much weight. I worked in the countryside every day, and my body became stronger."
Rong Siqiu asked him to sit beside her, Lin Feng wanted to sit down with her, but she kicked him away. "Your father has something to do with you. He is in the study. You go to find him yourself."
Lin Feng stood still, staring at Su Ling.
How could Rong Siqiu fail to notice his son's protection of his wife, every time he came back to the ancestral house, he would not take a step away from Su Ling, as if he was afraid of being bullied.
Su Ling nudged his shoulder and winked at him. "Go, I'll sit with mom for a while."
Lin Feng left unwillingly.
As soon as he left, the middle-aged woman sitting opposite smiled and narrowed her eyes. "Oh, sister-in-law, Xiao Feng is indeed the son of the eldest brother, and he likes to cling to his wife."
"No seriousness." Rong Siqiu gave her a light look, and said to Su Ling, "Don't listen to your aunt's nonsense."
Su Ling could only keep smiling politely.
This middle-aged woman is Lin Feng's aunt, named Lin Yawen. She is 59 years old this year. She has a bright personality and a manly demeanor. She wears neutral suit pants, has short hair cut neatly, and has a well-maintained and pretty face. Looks ten years younger than her actual age.
"I'm not talking nonsense, am I, sister-in-law three?" Lin Yawen asked the old lady in the purple dress beside her.
Jiang Lihua picked up the teacup, blew on it, and said unhurriedly: "I'm getting older, and my memory is bad. I'll almost forget what happened decades ago."
Unable to get support, Lin Yawen turned to ask another person. "Third sister-in-law forgot, fourth sister-in-law never forgot, right?"
The fourth sister-in-law Shen Man also gave an ambiguous answer, just refusing to fall into the trap.
Lin Yawen had no choice but was given a good meal by Rong Siqiu and said, "You are not serious in front of children, thanks to your age."
"I'm only 59 years old, and I'm still young!" Lin Yawen raised an eyebrow at Su Ling, "Is that right, Xiao Su?"
"Yes, the first time we met, I thought my aunt was only 30 years old." Su Ling said.It's the truth. When I first came to the ancestral house, I saw Lin Yawen, who was walking like flying, shrewd and capable, and thought she was some "cousin". But when Lin Feng introduced her as his aunt, Su Ling was shocked.
"This kid's mouth is sweet." Lin Yawen looked kindly, took out a small box from the designer bag he carried with him, and handed it to Su Ling, "Come, this is a gift from my aunt."
"Ah... this..." Su Ling hesitated to answer, and looked at her mother-in-law as if asking for help.
"Take it." Rong Siqiu said, "It's just a small square seal, it's not worth much, and your aunt will give one away to anyone she catches."
Only then did Su Ling take it, and opened the box to see that there was a small jade seal inside, milky yellow, delicate in texture, moist as fat, it was actually a piece of high-quality Hetian jade.
How is this worthless?
Obviously very valuable!
It's more than a dozen or 20 if you give it away casually, the aunt's hand is really generous.
"Thank you, Auntie." After all, Su Ling was born in a wealthy family, so it's no surprise that he was used to such a small situation, so he put away the jade seal graciously.
"Yawen gave gifts, and we elders have to give them too." Not to be outdone, Jiang Lihua and Shen Man took out a small brocade box from their bags and gave them to Su Ling.
Su Ling smiled shyly on the face, but complained inwardly.After receiving the gift, I have to sit here to chat with him. I wanted to just sit for a while and slip away, but now I can't.
The third aunt gave him a string of red sandalwood beads bracelet, and the fourth aunt gave him a bottle of ambergris perfume, which was very valuable.
The guests are all given away, how can Rong Siqiu, who is a mother-in-law, not give away?
She directly took off a jade plate from her finger and handed it to Su Ling. "Last month, I went to Burma to gamble on a small stone. I cut out the imperial green glass and made a pair of earrings and a fingerboard. After I wear the earrings, the fingerboard will be given to you."
Su Ling looked at the jade fingerboard in his palm and felt a lot of pressure.
The glass kind of imperial green!
Can be met but not sought!
A small fingerboard, tens of millions more!
"Mom...this is too precious..."
"I only spent 5 yuan on raw materials, which is not expensive at all."
Rong Siqiu didn't care about authenticity.Gambling with stones is gambling luck. At that time, she bought it casually. She didn't expect to get any good material, but she didn't know that if she cut it with a knife, she would see green. The [-] rose to hundreds of millions in an instant, which made others envious.
But for her, the cost price is only 5 yuan, and a fingerboard for Su Ling is only [-] to [-] yuan.
My mother-in-law said so, what can Su Ling do?
I can only wear it obediently.
Well, the presents are all received, so let's chat with you at ease!
So, he chatted and laughed with the three old ladies calmly, and when Lin Yawen asked him what he was doing in the countryside, he told them interesting stories about Shixi Village.
"Yeah, you still farm the fields yourself?" Lin Yawen looked at Su Ling in surprise, it was hard to imagine that such a young man like a nobleman would condescend to work in the field.
"Most of the village is self-sufficient. I can't go to the vegetable market in the town to buy vegetables every day. Anyway, there is space in the backyard, so I learned how to grow them." Su Ling said, "I can pick and eat the vegetables I grow at home. They are fresh, tender and delicious. They taste very good. "
"Hearing what you said, I want to eat it." Lin Yawen said, "When I have time, I will also go to Phoenix Mountain to play."
"Speaking of Phoenix Mountain, did Xiao Feng buy a piece of land there?" Jiang Lihua asked.
Rong Siqiu took a sip of the teacup and said, "It wasn't Xiaofeng who bought it, but Zhiyuan from the second family's."
"Zhiyuan? He's not..." Shen Man frowned.What Lin Zhiyuan did has already been spread among relatives. This kind of person who takes advantage of his position, embezzles huge sums of money from the company, transfers it overseas, and uses it for his own use is simply a wolf-hearted person, not a thing.
Just as he was talking, a new guest entered the courtyard, and two four or five-year-old children ran into the living room, and they came over without any fear and shouted sweetly.
"Hello grandma, hello great aunt!"
The child was young, so he yelled at a few old ladies, and it was Su Ling's turn, so he got stuck.
"Call uncle." The old lady who followed behind reminded them.
The child obediently called Su Ling "uncle."
Immediately, the seniority was raised, Su Ling picked up the snacks on the table and gave them to them, the two children took them, climbed onto the chairs and sat down to eat.
Rong Siqiu said to Su Ling: "Your second aunt is here, go and make a pot of scented tea again."
"Okay." Su Ling got up, picked up the empty teapot and cups on the table and went to the kitchen.
The second aunt is Cen Guixiang, the wife of the second uncle Lin Lihao, and the mother of Lin Zhiyuan. These two children are her great-grandchildren.
Lin Zhiyuan did something immoral, as a mother, she didn't avoid suspicion, and instead brought her great-grandson to visit, wondering what kind of medicine she sold in her gourd.
"Oh, I'll just sit here, I don't need to make a special soak." Cen Guixiang smiled politely. He was already sitting next to his granddaughter, took out a handkerchief, and wiped her hands covered with pastry crumbs.
Of course Su Ling listened to her mother-in-law's advice, and went into the kitchen on her own, stealing a short break.
So, he doesn't like to come to the ancestral house of the Lin family, everyone lives in the same place, it's too convenient to visit, and the chats are endless.
The second aunt specially picked this time and brought two children with her, obviously she came prepared.
Probably got the letter, Lin Feng went back to his ancestral home today, so he was in a hurry to use his status as an elder to ask his teacher for his crimes.
However, Su Ling wasn't worried at all, and his mother-in-law wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp either.
He was making scented tea patiently. Several old ladies in the living room were chattering away, but they didn't get into the topic. I don't know if it was intentional, but Cen Guixiang brought the topic to the child.
"Sister-in-law, you see my great-grandson is so big, when will your family's Lin Feng give you a grandson?"
Su Ling held the brewed scented tea and stood at the kitchen door with her lips pursed.
Rong Siqiu, a mother-in-law, didn't rush her, but outsiders were in a hurry.
"Both Lin Feng and Su Ling are still young." She said calmly.
Cen Guixiang smiled ambiguously. "Both of them are men, how did the child come? I heard from my Zhiyuan that he has invested in a biological research company abroad and is researching artificial wombs. If Lin Feng is interested, I will ask Zhiyuan to help."
"Don't bother Second Aunt."
Lin Feng's indifferent voice suddenly sounded, and he came out of the study, probably having an unpleasant conversation with his father, with a chill in his body, and Cen Guixiang's topic hit the gun point, which attracted his sharp eyes and cold expression.
