I open a shop in Qixia Town

Chapter 703 Seven Calabash Brothers?
As soon as Lin Chen lifted the door curtain and entered the room, three little guys rushed over.

"Brother, is there any meat today?"

"Big pot, meat."

"Brother, you are back."

The tallest of the three is Lin Chen's third sister, Lin Xi, who is 13 years old and in junior high school. She is very thin, but has a sweet look and is a beauty at first glance.

The remaining person was hugging one of the legs of two little ones. They were Lin Chen’s fourth brother Lin Yan and fifth sister Lin Lan. They were twins, a boy and a girl, six years old this year, and were still attending the red education class.

Lin Chen has two younger brothers. The second brother is Lin Fan, who is 16 years old this year. He dropped out of school after junior high school. Because it is difficult to find a job, he is either doing odd jobs or running around everywhere, leaving home early and returning late.

The other is the sixth brother Lin Yuan, who is also the youngest in the family. He is only three years old this year and is the old child in the family. When Liu Xiujuan was forty years old, she unexpectedly became pregnant with him. When the news of Liu Xiujuan's pregnancy came out, the aunties in the Central Courtyard were so envious that their eyes blossomed.

Yi Zhonghai would stare at Liu Xiujuan whenever he had the chance, which scared Lin Chen's father, Lin Zhengjun, nicknamed Gousheng, so much that he was on guard against him every day, fearing that Yi Zhonghai might have some improper thoughts about his wife.

Fortunately, apart from envy, jealousy and a little hatred, Yi Zhonghai did not do anything out of line.

As for why Lin Chen is so much older than his younger brothers and sisters, there is actually a reason.

When Liu Xiujuan was pregnant with Lin Chen, her family was poor and they had to go hungry one day and had no idea where to eat the next. As a result, Liu Xiujuan fell ill after giving birth to Lin Chen and had to take medicine all year round. Together with her aunt, they were nicknamed the big and small medicine jars by outsiders.

But I don’t know if life got better later or what, but in the year the People’s Republic of China was founded, Liu Xiujuan miraculously recovered and became pregnant with Lin Fan.

Yi Zhonghai had inquired about the reasons many times, and even asked Lin Zhengjun for the prescriptions that Liu Xiujuan had taken during this period.
Lin Chen lowered his head to look at the three little ones holding him, only to find that three pairs of big watery eyes were all staring at his lunch box.

Looking at the three little ones' thin bodies and longing eyes, Lin Chen didn't know if it was the memory that affected him or what, but he felt inexplicably distressed.

"I don't have any meat, but I have this!"

Lin Chen put his hands behind his back and took out a large piece of cake from the system space.

There was a time when the Little Chef made too much dessert, and Lin Chen and his group couldn’t finish the leftovers, so Lin Chen put them into the system space.

"Dang-dang-dang!"

"So beautiful!"

Looking at the decorations on the cake, Lin Yan's eyes widened.

Lin Lan bit her finger and asked, "Big pot, what is this?"

Lin Xi blinked her big eyes and looked at the cake in Lin Chen's hand with curiosity.

"This is a cream cake. It's very sweet."

Lin Chen deliberately showed a cocky look.

Lin Xi asked excitedly: "Brother, is this really a cream cake?"

Lin Yan pulled Lin Xi's clothes and asked, "Third sister, what is a cream cake?"

Lin Xi said with sparkling eyes: "I heard from my classmates that cream cake is delicious, sweet and creamy! Foreigners eat this on their birthdays."

Lin Yan immediately said: "Then I want to eat cream cake!"

"Big pot, I want to eat too!"

Lin Lan followed closely and said she wanted to eat too.

"Okay, okay, let's go to the side room and eat with grandpa, grandma and Xiaoyuan."

Lin Chen walked towards the ear room carrying the cake, and the three little ones followed closely behind him.

The Lin family has four rooms, including three rooms in the east wing and one ear room.

Lin Xi and Lin Lan lived in one room, while Lin Chen, Lin Fan and Lin Yan lived in the living room. They had a bunk bed, with Lin Chen and Lin Yan sleeping on the lower bunk and Lin Fan sleeping on the upper bunk.

Lin's father, mother and Lin Yuan slept in one room, and the whole family lived in the east wing.

Lin Chen's grandparents live in the ear room.

A family of three came to the ear room and saw grandfather Lin Caizhi sitting at the head of the kang holding Lin Yuan, and grandmother Lin Yang making shoes beside the kang.

Although my grandfather is over 60 years old and has a thin figure, he is full of energy and looks very energetic. It can be seen that he must have been a handsome man when he was young.

Grandma always had a kind smile on her face. In Lin Chen's impression, grandma had never had a quarrel with anyone in her life. She had a kind temper and loved to laugh.

Looking at the familiar faces of his grandparents, Lin Chen smiled bitterly in his heart.

This damn sense of immersion.

"Grandpa, grandma, I'm back."

"Dabao, are you back? Come on, you're back just in time. Try these shoes and see if they fit."

Grandma smiled and waved to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen responded, put the cake on the kang table, then sat on the kang edge and took off his shoes. Seeing that his grandmother was about to bend down to put on his shoes, he quickly helped his grandmother up and took the shoes from her hand.

"Granny, I can do it myself."

After putting on the new shoes, Lin Chen stood up, stomped his feet and took two steps, smiling and said, "Grandma, it's you who makes shoes that fit well and are comfortable, unlike my mom, who always makes them too big."

Listening to her eldest grandson's praise, grandma smiled but said nothing.

Seeing the three little ones all lying on the kang table, staring at the cake and swallowing their saliva, Lin Chen shook his head and laughed.

Taking off his shoes, Lin Chenta pulled the old shoes and said, "Grandpa, grandma, this cake is a gift from your eldest grandson to you. I'll cut a piece for you two to taste."

Grandma smiled and refused: "I don't want to eat it, give it to Xiaoyuan and the others."

"I won't eat either."

My grandfather is an honest man, he is rather dull and doesn't talk much.

"Brother, knife."

Lin Xi had prepared the knife long ago.

Lin Chen took the kitchen knife and cut the cake in half.

[Knife Skills +1]

Huh?
Can cutting a cake require knife skills?
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, then continued cutting.

Proficiency +1
Proficiency +1
……

Lin Chen didn't stop until he had divided the cake into nine portions.

Looking at the four little ones who were eagerly looking at him, Lin Chen said, "Each of you have one piece. No one is allowed to grab it. I'll go get the bowl."

"Brother, let me help you get it!"

Lin Xi jumped off the kang.

Lin Yan glanced at the cake reluctantly and said, "Brother, I'll help you get it too."

Lin Chen rubbed Lin Yan’s little head.

"Then I'll help too!"

Lin Lan was not willing to be outdone.

After saying that, she tilted her little head in front of Lin Chen, as if asking him to rub it.

Lin Chen did not show favoritism and rubbed her little head as well.

Only then did Lin Lan smile with satisfaction.

Just like that, Lin Chen came back with five bowls and a pair of chopsticks, two for Lin Xi, one for Lin Yan, and one for Lin Lan.

Lin Chen placed the nine portions of cake into bowls and waved his hand.

"Began to eat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yan and Lin Lan each took a piece of cake.

Lin Xi first gave one piece to his grandparents, then one piece to Lin Chen, and finally one piece to himself.

Lin Caizhi did not eat it, but gave his piece of cake to Lin Yuan in his arms.

Lin Yuan swallowed it down in one gulp, and the food got all over his nose and face.

"Sweet! Sweet!"

Lin Yuan called out twice in a soft voice, then unceremoniously started eating the cake with his hands.

The three little ones also started eating the cakes in their bowls.

Lin Yan: "Baji, baji, this cake is so delicious!"

Lin Lan: "This is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life!"

Hearing this, Lin Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

How old are you?
