Yoshida Mii

Chapter 297
Da Mao and Er Mao of the Song family stayed at Lin's house, huddled together with a few children to play, and found a remote place to sit when the banquet started, waiting for the banquet with peace of mind.

Darong, who was in charge of serving the dishes, took the time to talk to Lin Fu. Seeing that the two children were still quiet and not causing trouble, Lin Fu waved his hands, telling Darong to leave it alone.Anyway, there is no shortage of stutterers, and a group of adults can't afford to have trouble with two greedy children.However, the Lin family doesn't care about it. It doesn't mean that others don't murmur in their hearts. Ermao is fine. A ten-year-old child comes to eat and no one says anything. However, Da Mao is almost thirteen. He is considered a half-adult and no one cares about him He just drank wine when there was wine on the table, which was really a bit out of shape.

The birthday banquet was halfway through, and the last key link was serving longevity noodles. Bowls of steaming chicken soup and longevity noodles were sprinkled with green onions. Each noodle was a bowl, and they were quickly served on the table.

It was the first time for Dong Bao to eat longevity noodles made by a professional chef. He also had to be particular about the way of eating. The noodles had to be eaten in one sitting.Sitting at the table with her were Quanzi Shuanzi and Da Niu. The children were eating noodles in all sorts of strange ways, lest the noodles be bitten off, they were particularly happy.

After eating the noodles, the men continued to play finger games and drink, while the women sat together in the sun to do their daily chores.While Lin Shi had nothing to do with him, he secretly took Dong Bao out of the house. The two of them picked up the path where no one was around, and went hand in hand to the mountain behind Tagouji.

The mountain is not high, and the two of them arrived at the creek halfway up the mountain within a short walk. In late autumn, the water level of the creek dropped sharply. It was not much lower than when Lin Shi took Dongbao and Quanzi to fish in the creek a few years ago. few.However, the water at this time is very clear, with the red and yellow leaves on the mountain, the scenery is beautiful and fascinating.

Lin Shi picked up a clean stone, covered it with a handkerchief, and sat on the stone with Dong Bao to bask in the sun.

Under the warm sunshine, listening to the chirping of birds on the mountain, Dong Bao squinted his eyes and slowly told Lin Shi what happened recently. He first talked about Song Zhaodi who was placed in the small house. I think she is even more hateful, as well as the cool Song family, and small business matters.

"Quanzi also encouraged me to open shops in Luzhou and Beijing!" Dong Bao laughed, Quanzi dared to think and do much more than she did.

Lin Shi leaned his back on the big tree, and said with a smile, "Don't listen to him quarreling, he doesn't know that it's not easy to do business!" Relying on cooperation with the Wang family, how can they have a big business in Anzhou.If the business is booming these years, it will be exhausting to deal with the countless big officials and small officials who come to fight the autumn wind. What is even more difficult to guard against is those people who hide in the dark and are jealous of your business. The tripper stabbed the knife.

It is really not easy for Dong Bao, a girl's family, to manage their business to such an extent and lead them all to a level that they could not reach before. Lin Shi admires Dong Bao from the bottom of his heart.

"I'm going to take the Juren exam in two years. I've already made up my mind. Whether I pass the exam or not, I won't study anymore. I'll come back and help my father manage the workshop and business." Lin Shi smiled, eyes Calm and firm, staring at the slowly flowing stream beside him, how could he be supported by his parents and fiancee as a grown man with arms and legs, "If I can't be used in business matters, I'll be here Find a school in town to teach."

Lin Shi has been planning for a long time. In at most two years, he and Dong Bao will get married. As a husband, even if he can earn money without Dong Bao, he can't let Dong Bao take care of her. To make a living, what do you use to stand upright?
Dong Bao didn't insist on letting Lin Shi go to school, he had to take an exam for a Jinshi or something. Lin Shi's ability to advance in the imperial examination was the icing on the cake. If he couldn't, then that's okay.She knew that Lin Shi was a hard-working person. He was only 14 years old when he officially started studying. It was not easy to get to where he is today in just two years. No matter which path he chooses, Dong Bao will support him.

"Have you figured it out?" Dong Bao asked with a smile, "With the current situation, we can support you for a few more years without any problem."

Lin Shi smiled and said, "I help out with business or teach at home, and I have free time to study for the exam. If you want to take the exam, you can go anytime!"

Dong Bao also smiled, nodded and said, "You can just think about it. Uncle Lin and Aunt Qiuxia will definitely support you."

Under the bright autumn sun, Dong Bao's white face seemed to have fine fluff. Lin Shi couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it. When he stretched out his hand, he took it back as if nothing had happened, and said leisurely: " A few days ago, I ran into Zhou Pingshan in the academy, and he went to pay a visit to the head of the mountain. Zhou Pingshan asked me if I was engaged to you?"

"Then what did you say?" Dong Bao asked back with a smile, yo, you're still jealous!
Lin Shi smiled, a pair of bright eyes shone with a sly light, "I've made a deal, the two families have been married since childhood." He remembered that Zhou Pingshan was so eccentric that day, he took a bite of Dong Bao, ah, bah, Dong Bao Also what he can call?
Dong Bao looked up at the blue and distant sky. The whole person was bathed in the warm sunshine. She felt that the day was so comfortable that people could not help laughing while sleeping. She decided to confess to Lin Shi, saying: "Actually, that day, Auntie and the others have something to go back to Zhangjiazhuang, I was the one who delivered the tofu to Zhou Pingshan’s house, and told him about our engagement.”

In his heart, Lin Shi enjoyed the term "the two of us". How could he suspect that Dong Bao had anything to do with other boys?A person who would do that would not be the girl he has always liked and cherished.

The two were so close, Lin Shi could clearly see his figure reflected in Dongbao's black grape-like eyes, and the girl he loved was all eyes on him, making his heart seem to be soaked in honey, sweet He was dizzy, and his face turned red.

"Why are you so close to me?" Dong Bao blushed, although the two grew up together and held hands, but it was the first time they were so close, Dong Bao thought he was going to kiss her.

Lin Shi continued to stick it carefully, Dong Bao closed his eyes subconsciously, but the place where Lin Shi kissed was not Dong Bao's lips, but her forehead, and the hot and humid breath sprinkled on Dong Bao's forehead , When Dong Bao opened his eyes in surprise, he saw Lin Shi's wheat-colored face was so red that it was bleeding, and even the root of his neck was red, so he didn't dare to look at her anymore.

This is too innocent... Dong Bao silently lowered her head and pretended to be shy, she thought... Forget it, it should be that her modern assembly product is too innocent!

However, seeing Lin Shi blushing to the base of his neck, but not forgetting to hold her hand tightly, Dong Bao's heart softened. The feeling Lin Shi gave her was always warm, reliable, and real, just like Like a steady mountain, no matter when she looks back, that mountain will support her behind her.

It is easy to get priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a lover.

No matter how much Zhou Pingshan likes her, he will not be as simple and reliable as Lin Shi, and the Zhou family will not love her as much as their own daughter like the Lin family.

After living two lifetimes, the biggest gain for Song Dongning now is to know what is the best.

The two stayed on the mountain until the sun went west, and when Li looked at Dong Bao who came back with Lin Shi, she couldn't help poking Dong Bao on the head, and laughed and scolded: "It's really a girl who doesn't want to stay! "

During the twelfth lunar month, Mrs. Li ground three hundred catties of flour and steamed several pots of steamed stuffed buns and rolls. For several days, Dongbao's kitchen was filled with steam.What Li means is that the Chinese New Year is approaching, and everyone is busy with shops and workshops. There must be no time to steam steamed buns. , There are also one hundred catties of steamed buns and flower rolls.

According to Li's words, every year the Song family uses miscellaneous grain noodles and steamed buns, and your grandma is definitely not willing to use white noodles. Since we have a lot, let's give them some.

Dong Bao and Lin Shi drove the donkey cart back to Tagouji with the New Year's gift, first went to Song Yang's grave to burn paper and placed the sacrifice, then went to the door of Song's house to unload nearly two hundred catties of New Year's gift, There are steamed buns, pork and chicken, fried meatballs and dim sum, and two jars of wine.

Mrs. Huang and Mr. Song didn’t hear any noise in the house, and it was Er Mao who was playing with spinning tops in the yard who ran out to meet Dong Bao and Lin Shi first. The sleeves and front are black and black, so they are not good for being dirty.

After Ermao ran over, he first took a look at the things on the ground, and then he showed a happy expression on his face. Instead of calling Dong Bao and Lin Shi, he hugged the hard pork and chicken that were frozen on the ground and walked to the main room, because the things were heavy. , he walked away chattering, shouting as he walked, "Grandma, come get the meat!"

After a while, Mrs. Huang and old man Song came out of the main room, and the door of the west wing was also opened. Second Aunt Song glanced at the pile of things at the door, smiled from ear to ear, and greeted, "Dongbao, come back!" Huh? Come in and sit down, my aunt will pour water for you."

"No, Second Aunt, I have to go back!" Dong Bao smiled politely.

Mrs. Huang and Old Man Song went to the yard without saying a word, took the pork and chicken from Ermao's hands, turned around and entered the main room, and Ermao continued to run happily, dragging the big bag with steamed buns and flower rolls inside, but The sack was so heavy that he couldn't move it even with all his strength.

"Oh, my son, you can't delay this!" Aunt Song said with a chuckle. There are so many days in a year, and only the days when Dong Bao comes to give gifts to her is she thinks Dong Bao is pleasing to the eye. "Hey, there's still wine, tsk tsk, Dongbao, you guys are really rich!"

Mrs. Huang and old man Song came out after putting away the meat. Mrs. Huang still ignored Dong Bao, and asked Second Aunt Song for help with a cold face, and one of them carried the sack to the main room.

Old man Song glanced at Dong Bao with some embarrassment, and he held back a sentence after a while, "Let's have dinner at home at noon."
