Chapter 267
Chapter 267
"Wow, today's breakfast is really sumptuous."
Li Sanjiang sat at his seat, holding chopsticks, looking at the small plates and bowls in front of him, and for a moment he didn't know which one to pick up first.
Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Linlin is very skillful, so I asked her to make a few more dishes for everyone to try."
The happiest person this morning was Aunt Liu. After waiting for a long time, a mule was finally allocated to her kitchen.
Yin Meng, whose eyes were rolling up to the sky like white clouds before, was now happily eating steamed buns with marinated pork.
Aunt Liu’s cooking skills are impeccable, but in order to cater to the elderly’s taste, her dishes are always light, while Yin Meng is a fan of strong taste.
Based on the principle of being able to be both sarcastic and praiseworthy, Yin Meng said to Chen Lin who was sitting opposite him:
“Delicious, really good taste.”
Chen Lin responded: "I was in a hurry today and was unable to prepare it properly. I can prepare two baskets for you tomorrow morning and put more chili in them."
Yin Meng: "That's so embarrassing."
Chen Lin: "I'm really sorry for disturbing your rest last night. This is my way of making up for it. I hope you can give me this chance."
Yin Meng couldn't stand it. It would be fine if Chen Lin sang these little words and tunes deliberately by pinching her throat, but Yin Meng could tell that Chen Lin was not pretending.
Li Sanjiang said, "Meng Hou, you should learn more from others."
Yin Meng: "Uncle Li, what should I learn?"
Li Sanjiang: "Learn to cook. You don't have to cook at home, but at least you should know how to cook."
Yin Meng: "I..."
Tan Wenbin: "Uncle Li, Mengmeng is a good cook. She often cooks when we go out. No one who has eaten here says it's not delicious."
Li Sanjiang: “Really?”
Tan Wenbin: "Really. Besides, Aunt Liu is enough to take care of the family by herself. If we really hire so many people to cook, and eat breakfast like this every day, no matter how rich our family is, it won't be enough to eat."
Li Sanjiang: "Well, you live your life, and you never lose money if you spend money on your mouth. At least you have to eat."
But what Zhuangzhuang said made sense, so Li Sanjiang didn't bring up the topic any further.
Liu Yumei took a bite of the siomai and it tasted really good.
But looking at Chen Lin sitting there, who was completely different from the one she was yesterday, the old lady couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
In history, when the Yin-Yang School was at its peak, several generations of masters emerged in succession. It would be an exaggeration to say that they had the ability to move mountains and fill the sea, but their courage and vision to bring peace to the people in times of wind and rain are real.
Unfortunately, the younger generations who inherited the legacy have long lost the spirit of their predecessors, and have even started to engage in such things as the Yin Side and the Yang Side just to seek survival on their own.
After dinner, Tan Wenbin came up to Liu Yumei and made tea for the old lady.
Liu Yumei joked, "It's been so long, why haven't you made any progress in your tea-making skills?"
Tan Wenbin: "If they are all brewed well, won't they all taste the same? At least I can give you, old lady, something new."
Liu Yumei: "How fresh! You're wasting my tea."
Tan Wenbin: "Well, what you said makes me feel embarrassed to drink and take it later."
Liu Yumei: "Damn it, grandma, am I a stingy person?"
Tan Wenbin: "Of course you are not, that's why I came to ask you to make two sets of clothes for Yunyun.
Last night I saw them both wearing pajamas, one was very delicate, the other was made from old clothes, and I felt really bad. "
Liu Yumei looked at Tan Wenbin with a half-smile, nodded slightly, and said, "I understand."
Tan Wenbin: "I know that you love me, old lady."
Liu Yumei: "Let your wife come over to me, I'll measure her and ask her what she likes."
Tan Wenbin: "Isn't your aesthetic taste much higher than mine? There's no need to measure, your eyes are the ruler."
Liu Yumei: "You are such a smooth talker. Just make a few sets for now. When you get married in the future, I will buy you two sets of formal clothes."
Tan Wenbin: "Then I'll ask my Yunyun to come over and serve you some tea first, old lady?"
Liu Yumei: "It doesn't matter. You are the captain of our Dragon King's boat. Your family's clothing and expenses cannot be outdone by those of the lower-class families."
Tan Wenbin: "I really haven't thought about this. I just think that our family is still in the initial stage of revival, so there is no need to compare these expenses. I mentioned this today just because of my vanity as a man."
Li Sanjiang: “Loading!”
We have to deliver goods to two families today, one in the south and one in the north, so we have to arrange two groups of people.
Qin Shu and Xiong Shan sent him to the south, while Runsheng and Lin Shuyou sent him to the north.
Chen Lin was washing dishes and watching Lin Shuyou carry tables, chairs and benches into the truck one by one and tie them up.
This scene made Chen Lin feel very unfamiliar.
Then, Mr. Li smiled and kicked Lin Shuyou on the butt, rubbed his head, and scolded him with a smile:
"I haven't worked for a while, I didn't even know I tied it wrong, it's going to be slippery on the road!"
Lin Shuyou was not annoyed at all. He responded obediently and untied the rope and tied it again.
There was a little more awe in Chen Lin's eyes when he looked at Li Sanjiang.
She has now realized that the people here seem extraordinary, and this Uncle Li should be the most mysterious and powerful one here.
Tan Wenbin walked over and said, "Ayou, I'm going to deliver the goods, you stay."
Lin Shuyou shook his head like a rattle: "No, Brother Bin, I'll go."
Since this morning, Chen Lin's eyes have been constantly on him, making Lin Shuyou feel embarrassed.
In his life, he only had a vague liking for Zhou Yunyun, and he strangled her very quickly.
If secret crush can be considered as love experience, then almost everyone in the boys' dormitory is a master of love.
Li Sanjiang agreed, "Yes, let Youhou go. Zhuangzhuang, you've been out for so long, you need to take a rest and accompany Yunhou."
Tan Wenbin: "Uncle Li, Ah You also has someone to accompany him."
Li Sanjiang shook his head and said, "It's different. You have a plan here, but he doesn't. It's right to catch the one who has a plan first."
Zhou Yunyun walked out while wiping her hands and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about?"
Tan Wenbin: "Uncle Li was afraid that you would run away, so he advised me to keep a close eye on you."
Li Sanjiang: "You little bastard."
Chen Lin walked up to Lin Shuyou and said, "Can I go with you to deliver the goods?"
Lin Shuyou: "No, I can do it."
After saying that, Lin Shuyou pulled the cart down the dam in one breath, then continued to rush forward without slowing down, and finally turned smoothly onto the village road.
Li Sanjiang was very pleased to see that as long as the mules at home were well fed, they could run just as well as those powered by oil.
"Sister Liu."
"Sister Liu."
In the distance, three old sisters came together under the leadership of Liu Jinxia.
They played cards that day and didn't know how much they won or lost, but they felt that time passed very quickly. After dusk, Ting Hou said it was getting late and asked them to go home.
After that day, news spread that Liu Yumei was feeling unwell and went to Shanghai for medical treatment.
If they went to a town or city, the three sisters would be able to go and see it, but now that they have gone to Shanghai, there is nothing they can do.
After Liu Yumei recovered, she asked Aunt Liu to call them over to play cards again.
Aunt Liu went to boil water and prepare the fruit plate as usual, and Chen Lin came in to help carry it.
"Put it down. I've already used you this morning. You can't use me again."
"It's okay. I don't have anything to do anyway. Being busy can make me feel more at ease."
Aunt Liu asked, "Are you like this at home?"
Chen Lin shook her head: "No, but I know what I should know."
Before leaving home, she was still the daughter of the Chen family. Even after leaving home, she had never lacked material things. She did have the ability to read people's expressions. Lin Shuyou had to go deliver the goods, so it was only natural for her to lend a hand here.
Tan Wenbin came to the card table, handed a cigarette to Grandma Hua and Liu Jinxia and helped them light it, then asked about the current situation of Wang Lian's two children.
Finally, he said to Liu Yumei: "Old lady, I will take Yunyun out for a walk."
Liu Yumei nodded: "Three cakes."
Tan Wenbin pushed out the bicycle and took Zhou Yunyun down the dam.
It is a rare opportunity for the two of them to be together in a normal state. The weather is good today, so Tan Wenbin plans to go with Zhou Yunyun to pay tribute to their former classmate Zheng Haiyang, and then go to sweep the graves of their godfather and others.
Chen Lin served tea and water around the card table, and when he had time, he stood behind Liu Yumei waiting.
If this family is divided into levels, those who do not need to work are definitely at a higher level than those who need to work. Liu Yumei, who can sit here and play cards early in the morning, should be at the same level as Grandpa Li.
Liu Jinxia and Grandma Hua curiously asked who this girl Liu Yumei was.
Liu Yumei said a few vague words and did not introduce herself, so the two old women did not ask any more questions.
It would be easy to make up a story about her being a niece's granddaughter, but Liu Yumei insisted on it, so even if she just acknowledged him perfunctorily, she would still have to give him corresponding benefits.
At the moment, this girl doesn't have the qualifications.
It is true that the little girl is innocent and knows etiquette, but if you insist on saying that she really knows nothing and has no thoughts at all, then you are underestimating her.
Miss Liu is well aware of the ins and outs here.
Just take your time. As long as you can take down that kid from the Lin family, I, your grandma, don’t mind giving you a treat.
The delivery guys also had to help set up the stage, and the host naturally left some food for them, so Chen Lin sat there alone to eat at noon.
Mengmeng was afraid that she would be lonely, so she took the initiative to sit next to her to keep her company, and asked her about cooking.
Chen Lin told him everything he knew, and Yin Meng listened with great interest.
Aunt Liu's eyes twitched slightly while she was eating. She knew that her apprentice had always wanted to be a chef. In the afternoon, Liu Yumei continued playing cards. After Chen Lin arranged tea and cakes, she went to help Yin Meng make a coffin.
She got the hang of it quickly, the lines and standards were very clear, and she quickly worked together with Yin Meng.
When Liu Yumei was on a bye, she stood up and walked around, and caught a glimpse of the two girls who were concentrating on making the coffin.
Haha, a descendant of Yin Changsheng and a successor of the Yin-Yang family, have now become craftsmen in a coffin shop.
In the afternoon, Lin Shuyou and Runsheng came back.
Yin Meng picked up a piece of rag and brushed the dust off Runsheng.
Runsheng opened his arms, turned around and let her slap him.
Yin Meng: "Isn't it time to go visit your grandfather's house?"
Runsheng shook his head: "Uncle Li said that Grandpa will come tomorrow, so we don't need to go today. Grandpa must be fasting tonight. If we go there, we will have to eat the food at home. He will be unhappy and say that we don't know how to live and are carrying stones up the mountain."
Yin Meng: "That's right."
Chen Lin brought a cup of tea to Lin Shuyou. Lin Shuyou hesitated for a moment and had to take it. After drinking it, he took the big teapot from Runsheng and drank it in one gulp.
Chen Lin also wanted to imitate Yin Meng and help Lin Shuyou brush off the dust on his body, but what she took out was a handkerchief.
Use this on a man as a flirt.
Chen Lin asked, "Do you miss home?"
Lin Shuyou shook his head: "No, it's not convenient for me to go back now."
If he goes back now, there is a certain probability that the evil spirits in his family's temple will collectively descend upon him to compete with him, and this may turn into a fight.
Lin Shuyou: "You will be able to go back after a while."
After all, the Lu family will not exist for too long, and the oppression faced by the Chen family will naturally disappear.
Chen Lin misunderstood, thinking that Lin Shuyou wanted to send her away early. She lowered her head and said softly:
"Yunyun and I will go back together."
On the village road in the distance, Tan Wenbin was riding a bike, and Zhou Yunyun was sitting behind him, hugging his waist. The two were talking and laughing, looking very happy and relaxed.
The feelings between young people can be very simple. A bicycle and rapeseed flowers along the way are enough to make them feel satisfied.
When they got near the dam, they became reserved again.
After greeting everyone, Tan Wenbin went into the house, lay down in the coffin, took out his mobile phone, and called Xue Liangliang.
After the call was connected, the communication went very smoothly.
The former Nantong folk diving champion had not been able to get close to the Yangtze River, which he missed day and night, for a long time, so he attached great importance to sending his love letter. Ordinary postmen could not dare to undertake this delivery business.
Tan Wenbin hinted at the inconvenience of having only one mobile phone, and Xue Liangliang said dissatisfiedly: "Next time just say it directly, a problem that can be solved with money is not a problem."
After hanging up the phone and just about to get out of the coffin, a new call came in. It was Lu Yi.
"Binbin."
"Brother Lu, what's wrong?"
"There is a message asking you to take some time to go to the river."
"Oh, OK, I see. How's business in the store lately?"
“Business is better after the store expansion.”
The second floor, which originally belonged to the student activity room, was rented out and converted into a billiard room and video room. Originally, the store could only serve the school's living area, but now students from other areas also come here specifically to consume.
Of course, most people would not do this, as it is against the rules and could easily lead to gossip. But the name on the store's business license is still "Xue Liangliang". He keeps donating the bulk of the money to the school, so the school just returns the favor with this little thing.
After dinner, Tan Wenbin drove out in his family's pickup truck and went directly to Big Beard's house to ask Xiao Yingying for maternal and child supplies.
Xiong Shanlihua doesn't pay much attention to her children now, but she is really concerned about raising them and chooses the best for their food, drink and other expenses.
Her salary was definitely not enough to cover these expenses. I guess she sold the man’s burial objects for some money.
It must have known about it, but it turned a blind eye to it. After all, that was the child it named itself.
After looking at Benben, Tan Wenbin came out with his things, sat in the car, and as soon as he started the car, his tear glands started to flow.
Ever since the burden was lifted off his shoulders, he always felt empty inside and was not used to it.
But when I thought that the two children had been reincarnated into wealthy families and were enjoying a good life, I felt greatly comforted.
Drove to the riverside, a familiar location.
Carrying the things down, they first waved a piece of yellow paper and threw it into the river, and then threw in the gift that represented their feelings.
Soon, a whirlpool emerged and took in all the gifts.
Xue Liangliang is not short of money, and Baijia Town will not be short of these things either. Giving gifts is just a formality, and the purpose is to relieve the pain of missing each other.
The water curtain rose, and the figure of the lady from the Bai family, dressed in silver-white, slowly rose up and finally stepped on the surface of the river.
As the water curtain fell, she deliberately revealed her figure in front of Tan Wenbin.
"grown ups."
"sister in law."
The two of them discussed greetings from different places.
Tan Wenbin pointed at his eyes and said, "Tighten your clothes a little to see if you are pregnant."
Mrs. Bai obediently reached out and grabbed the edges of her clothes on both sides, pulling them back, her lower abdomen already bulging.
It was not easy to conceive this child.
The shadow of the black python swirled in Tan Wenbin's eyes. "Turn around. I'll take a few more pictures and send them to Brother Liangliang later to make him happy."
Mrs. Bai nodded and began to turn around.
After the photo shoot, Tan Wenbin rubbed his sore eyes. If he wanted the developed photos to be clearer and with more details, it would put more strain on his eyes.
After finishing his personal affairs, Tan Wenbin asked, "Were you the ones who notified me?"
"Yes."
Mrs. Bai clapped her hands.
Beside him, eight coffins of different colors and sizes slowly emerged, forming a circle. Inside the circle were chains that locked a gigantic soul shadow.
Tan Wenbin: "Soul General."
Mrs. Bai: "Yes."
Before the old man entered Nantong, he left his strongest soul general outside. Now, this soul general has been captured by the Bai family.
Originally, based on the other party's identity, Baijia Town agreed to help the old man find someone, but since the old man was involved in the corpse-recovery case, this identity was naturally invalidated.
"Destroy it."
"Yes."
The eight coffins began to stretch outward, and the Soul General's body gradually fell apart.
Tan Wenbin stood on the shore and witnessed the whole process. Others were just expressing their attitude, and he had the responsibility to appreciate it.
After the end, the Bai family lady said:
"Sir, I, Baijia Town, am willing to send people to punish the Lu family for their offense."
Tan Wenbin understood and his eyes turned cold in tacit understanding.
In the past, it required a bit of performance, but now the snake eyes are just as authentic.
"If you can't control your people, I'll have to discipline them on your behalf. That's outrageous!"
After saying that, Tan Wenbin turned around and left.
Mrs. Bai bowed and said goodbye, with a faint smile on her lips.
She was pregnant for too long, which caused her to be in a very low state. Her deterrent effect on the people below became weaker and weaker. Fortunately, she had support from the outside world.
The next two days passed peacefully.
Because he had to prepare to receive Zhao Yi and his party, Tan Wenbin could not go to Jinling, and Zhou Yunyun was not coming back on holidays, so Tan Wenbin personally went to find his father-in-law and asked him to call the school and apply for home leave for Zhou Yunyun on the grounds that he was unwell.
Zhou Yunyun never expected that her father would agree to such an unreliable thing so readily.
Li Sanjiang's business has been good recently, and Lin Shuyou actively follows Runsheng to deliver the goods.
Once when the two of them were returning from delivering goods, they passed by the snack street in Shigang Town. Runsheng stopped, bought some fried skewers, and asked the boss to add more spiciness.
Lin Shuyou also felt a little hungry, but he was not a big eater, so he bought a few large pancakes and ate them while driving the cart back. When he got home, only one was left.
Yin Meng came up to brush off the dust on Runsheng, and Runsheng handed her a bag of fried skewers.
Lin Shuyou: “…”
Chen Lin has now also prepared a large rag, and imitating Yin Meng's appearance, takes... a large pancake from Lin Shuyou.
"Hahaha!"
Tan Wenbin, who was sitting on the dam nearby, laughed until tears came out and shouted:
"When my parents were dating, they weren't as down-to-earth as you!"
The next morning, Tan Wenbin was sitting next to Liu Yumei, watching her play cards, when his cell phone rang. He picked it up, and a cold and arrogant voice came from the other end of the line:
"I have arrived at Nantong. Tan Daban will come to pick me up."
Liu Yumei played the cards in her hand and asked casually, "Who is it that is so arrogant?"
Zhao Yi on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and an ominous premonition rose from the bottom of his heart.
Tan Wenbin: "He was the one who wanted to give our Ah Li a marriage certificate."
Zhao Yi: “…”
