Qinghe Pastoral

There have been several heavy snowfalls in a row this year, and it is the coldest time for the snow to melt before the beginning of spring.

February 28th was Lin Chen's full moon day, and women came to his house one after another after getting up early.It was difficult to melt the snow and it was extremely cold. Lin Mu and his son got up early and lit several charcoal basins and boiled several pots of hot water, otherwise the woman who came to help would freeze to death.

"It's going to freeze people badly today."

Just as Lin Mu was coming out of the kitchen, he saw Ji Ruixiu walking slowly with Xiao Jue and Yu Ziyi. The three of them were all tall and straight, with imposing appearances, and they really didn't fit in with this soil embryo room.Huazhou was warm, and the two of them were afraid that they would not be able to withstand the cold, so Lin Mu rushed forward to meet him.

"It just happened to be the coldest time, so hurry up and enter the main room, there is a charcoal basin inside to keep warm."

"Why are you dressed so thin?"

Lin Mu was busy back and forth early in the morning, probably because he moved a lot, but he didn't feel too cold, and it was inconvenient to work because he was overdressed, so he didn't care too much.

"I don't feel cold, and it's hard for me to move if I wear too much clothes. Don't worry, let's stop talking in the air. Come in."

In the main room, there were already a few close men sitting, Liu Tang and Liu Liping also came early, when they saw Xiao Jue and Yu Zi, they stood up and greeted.Lin Mu had a lot of things to do today, so he went to work after a few words.

At three o'clock, there are villagers coming in groups. Unlike the flowing water mat that day, this full moon gift is to be given along with the gift.But in Qinghe Village, those who have a normal relationship are just a basket of eggs and some copper coins, and those who are more intimate are more important, and these must be registered one by one so that they can return gifts in the future.

Seeing that the person who registered to receive the gift was Lin Zian, the master of the family, the villagers couldn't help but sigh how much Lin Zian valued Lin Sheng's family, and thought of the rift between the two families, they couldn't help being amazed.

It's been more than [-] years, and I haven't held a banquet since I separated from the big house, so there are especially many guests today. The room of Lin Mu's house is indeed a bit small, and there can only be five or six tables. After the spring, it is time to build a new house up.

At noon, the meeting officially opened.

Stewed Chicken with Mushrooms, Sour Radish and Duck Soup, Steamed Sea Bass, Braised Lion Head, Steamed Meat with Rice Vermicelli, Frozen Pig Skin, Spicy Riverside, Stir-fried Prawns in Sauce, Tofu Balls, Stir-fried Green Beans, Candied Sweet Potatoes, Steamed Cabbage Rolls, Eight Meat and four vegetables, it is considered the best banquet, not inferior to the banquet of the second wife married daughter that day.

The rest is just fine. The prawns that Xiao Jue brought from Huazhou were paired with the farm’s miso sauce. They had a special taste. Many villagers have only seen small shrimps in the river. Where have they seen such big shrimps, let alone eat them belly.

Those who can only eat a meaty meal in a few days are even more open-minded. Lin Mu's family has enough ingredients, and it is a joy to have a baby. He can eat as much as he wants.

"This Lin Mu's house is really different today. The food is comparable to that of Aunt Liu's house back then. I don't know how much Young Master Ji has added this time. Aunt Liu, do you think so?"

The pockmarked aunt was talking while eating, her tone sounded sour, but her chopsticks hands were no slower than others.

"No, he used to coax the boss, and now he coaxes young master Ji. He is really capable."

Liu Guilian did not dare to embarrass Lin Mu and Xu Xiuqin on the surface, but she still hated it in private.

"Grandma, today is your grandson's full moon gift, so don't say anything in the future."

Speaking of which, Lin Yuying was also pregnant for more than three months, Lin Yuting was of good character, and her mother-in-law was even soft-hearted and good-natured. She lived a smooth life, and now that she was pregnant, she was even more gentle.

Liu Guilian couldn't help being surprised when she heard what Lin Yuying said. Since she lost her reputation, Lin Yuying's temperament has changed a lot, but in the past, she hated Lin Mu the most, and now she actually started to speak for that bastard Lin Mu.Liu Guilian felt dissatisfied, and thought of Lin Xue's instructions, so she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

"Hey, I heard that Yuying is also pregnant. It's really a blessing. She got pregnant as soon as she got married."

"I'm very lucky. There will be a banquet at that time. Auntie, you should eat more."

Since the news of her pregnancy, there have been many rumors in the village. She has already died once, so why be afraid of rumors?Now she only hopes that her child will be born safely and that the family will be harmonious and beautiful.

The broken-mouthed aunt couldn't hear Lin Yuying's sarcasm, and seeing Lin Mu just passing by, she couldn't help being a little embarrassed, so she shut her mouth in embarrassment.

Lin Mu really heard the conversations of several people clearly. Rumors are just commonplace for him, not to mention the people he doesn't care about. To deal with people who hate him, living better than her is the best counterattack.Besides, today is a good day for his mother and younger brother, so why worry about making himself unhappy.However, it was never thought that Lin Yuying would defend him one day.

It took more than an hour for the banquet to be finished. It was cold and there was nothing to do at home, and the villagers were not in a hurry to leave. Lin Sheng added a few more carbon basins and put them in the yard, and the women of Lin Wei's family released them again. Some candies and melon seeds, the villagers gathered together in twos and threes, talking about their parents, it was very lively.
