Chapter 128 Lin Song
"You know Shi Xia?"
A young yet steady male voice rang out, and Lin Sisi looked at the sofa. It was a shout from Ao'er.
"Big brother!"
"Lin Sisi, who is this Shi Xia you're talking about?"
Lin Sisi hadn't recovered from the shock of seeing her elusive older brother when she heard him mention Shi Xia's name, and she instantly became alert.
"Why are you asking me this? And who is this Shi Xia you're talking about?"
Lin Song was surprised that his silly sister had become smart, but he wondered if the Shi Xia she mentioned was the same Shi Xia he knew.
"Sisi is back—"
When Lin's mother returned home, the first thing she saw was Lin Sisi's bicycle.
Just as he was wondering why Lin Sisi hadn't responded, he saw Lin Song sitting on the sofa as soon as he entered the room.
Lin Song grinned and called out, "Mom!"
"Don't you dare call me Mom, I can't accept that!"
"We're not familiar with each other."
Lin's mother snorted and turned to go into the kitchen.
Helpless, Lin Song quickly got up and gave Lin Sisi a meaningful look: "Hush her!"
Lin Sisi turned around haughtily.
"You got yourself into this mess, you have to make up for it yourself, I don't care!"
Lin Sisi turned her head and snorted, then went to the kitchen, hugged her mother's arm, and whispered, "Shi Xia said to come eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall tomorrow."
"Really! That's great! Why did you say so sooner? I need to get started right away."
Lin's mother was visibly pleased, and Lin Song, with his keen hearing, heard it.
Summer has arrived again.
He wanted to ask, but considering the attitude of the mother and daughter in the kitchen, he decided against it and would ask his father later.
In this family, only his father seems to like him.
Thinking of this, Lin Song immediately went into the kitchen with a grin.
"Mom—is there anything I can do for you?"
"What do you mean by helping me with something? You're not going to eat? That's fine, I've always considered all the food I ate as food for the dogs since I was a child. Raising a son is less worthwhile than raising a dog."
Lin's mother was quite resentful, and Lin Song knew he was in the wrong.
He was a chef since he was a child, and he was going to inherit the culinary skills of his mother's side of the family. He learned both white and red dishes from a young age, but in the end he went to join the army.
Lin's mother wasn't unreasonable; she just felt bad that her family's culinary skills were going to be lost.
In addition, Lin Song rarely came home, and Lin's mother was constantly worried that her son might die outside, so she felt both anxious and conflicted.
"Mom, how about I get you a dog?"
"roll!"
Lin Song was kicked out by his mother with a single word, while Lin Sisi watched the spectacle with amusement.
The mother and daughter were laughing and chatting in the kitchen, while Lin Song was outside cracking sunflower seeds.
When Lin's father returned, he was also taken aback to see Lin Song.
"A rare guest indeed."
"dad!"
Lin's father glanced at the kitchen, then at Lin Song, and asked knowingly, "You got scolded?"
"Ah."
Lin's father sat to one side, and Lin Song poured him tea. The father and son exchanged a few very official words.
"It's good that you're still alive."
"Hmm, are you feeling alright?"
"It's nothing special, I almost got burned to death a while ago—"
"what!"
Lin Song suddenly stood up, unaware of what was happening.
At that moment, Lin Song felt distressed.
He knew nothing about what was happening at home.
Lin's father waved his hand.
"Sit down. We don't blame you. Your mother just feels guilty towards your grandfather. You know how important you are to her, right?"
"I know, Dad."
Lin Song sat down, his tall figure filled with remorse.
Silence fell between the father and son.
Lin Song composed himself and looked at his father, asking, "Dad, do you know Shi Xia?" His father stopped drinking tea and said naturally, "Yes, I know her. I almost burned to death in the fire, and it was Shi Xia who rushed into the flames wrapped in a quilt and saved me."
Lin Song was surprised; it turned out that the fire Commander Cheng was talking about was to save his father.
"What, is something wrong?"
When Lin's father asked, Lin Song shook his head.
"Shi Xia is a good child, a good comrade, and has been kind to our family."
Lin's father put down his teacup.
Lin Song understood what his father meant. He didn't intend to make things difficult for Shi Xia; he just felt that this person was too dangerous.
"Dad, I know."
"It's good to know."
*
Shi Xia had already returned to Hai San Island, and most of the villagers had come, some pushing wheelbarrows, some pushing two-wheeled carts, and some carrying things on their shoulders.
A boatload of bricks and tiles was delivered to the place where Shi Xia was going to build a house.
This is a large open space, not far from Shi Xia's house, which Uncle Cao allocated to Shi Xia.
Uncle Cao also came over, bringing with him the villagers who could build houses.
"Shi Xia, the weather is pretty good now, and with so many of us, we can finish digging the foundation in just a few days."
"Alright, I'll leave this to Uncle Cao to keep an eye on."
"It's nothing, just go do what you're supposed to do."
Shi Xia entrusted the house-building project to someone else with peace of mind, and her family contacted Grandpa Xu.
Grandpa Xu is drying herbs. These days, islanders come to him for headaches and fevers.
He was cured of his illness by medicine, and everyone respected him.
"Is something the matter?"
"Come with me to the mainland tomorrow to see someone."
Grandpa Xu turned around.
"You really know how to use this. At first, you said you'd only see your grandfather, then you came to see your family, then the whole village, and now you're making me go out on house calls?"
Shi Xia nodded, then added infuriatingly, "By the way, there's no consultation fee. You treat the patient, and he'll make furniture for me."
Grandpa Xu was even more speechless; it seemed he was just a bargaining chip.
"Fine, fine, just go now! Looking at you hurts my eyes!"
"Then you'd better hurry up and get yourself some medicine."
Grandpa Xu was so angry that his beard flew off.
Shi Xia chuckled, leaned closer, and opened her palm.
"Give me some more of that sleeping pill."
"You've used it all? That's enough for several hundred people!"
"It was gone in one go."
It was gone in one go.
Old Master Xu had nothing to say.
"understood."
"Make sure you order more!"
Old Master Xu waved his hand, indicating that those on this pirate ship were no longer able to disembark.
Shi Xia went back next door, gave Grandpa Shi a daily massage, and then used her supernatural ability to soak some seeds, preparing to plant a large number of water spinach, which would be more convincing.
The next morning, Shi Xia got up and strolled around the village, where she ran into Cheng Qingmin again.
Cheng Qingmin asked again, and Shi Xia was about to go out again. He was on the verge of tears.
"Principal Shi, when are you coming back to work?"
"I'm the principal! I'm not supposed to be teaching classes."
Cheng Qingmin blinked: Is that so?
Cheng Qingmin left again, to go back and face the chattering children.
Shi Xia roughly knew why Cheng Qingmin had come, but she was curious to know when Cheng Qingmin would tell her directly.
After taking a stroll and having breakfast, Shi Xia went to the construction site to get her energy up and then took Grandpa Xu on the ferry.
After arriving in town, Shi Xia took Grandpa Xu to the shantytown so that he could see a doctor.
Grandpa Xu wrote out a prescription and suggested that we move to a different place, as this was not a suitable place to recuperate.
Old Man Shan readily agreed, stating that he was willing to go to the island to help build the house.
Grandpa Xu gave Shi Xia a look: Are you satisfied?
Shi Xia: Not bad.
And so, Old Man Shan packed his things to leave, while Shi Xia went to the Lin family to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
