The two turned to look at the person approaching and waving at them in the distance.

Lin Erdie?

Lian Yun was carrying a basket of things, followed by a little kid. He walked up quickly and said happily, "I saw you two from a distance. My sister knows that you are handsome. Standing together, you are the envy of others."

Lin Yizhi hurriedly stepped forward to greet them: "Second uncle, Xiaoyu, you are here, I will help you get it."

Lin Jiaojiao also reacted and walked forward to say hello.

Little carrot-head Zhang Lianyu walked out from behind his father and said, "Fifth brother, hello, Third sister."

Lian Yun quickly corrected him: "Xiao Yu, your third sister has already married the eldest brother and the fifth brother, you have to call them brother and sister."

Zhang Lianyu called out to Lin Jiaojiao again, "Hello, brother and sister."

Lin Jiaojiao nodded awkwardly in response.

Lian Yun gave the basket to Lin Yizhi. Since there was no ox cart from the town to here, they set out from home long ago and walked all the way, carrying the things along the way.

He shook his sore arm, held Zhang Lianyu's hand and asked as they walked, "Brother Zhi, is your father's cough better?"

Lin Yizhi walked beside him with a basket and answered with a worried look on his face, "It's still the same. I supervise him to take medicine on time every day, but there is still no improvement."

Lian Yun frowned with a worried look on his face.

Lin Jiaojiao followed them carrying the laundry basin, but she was too embarrassed to speak. After all, this was the first time she met Lin Erdie, so he was basically a stranger to her.

The three of them, with a little kid jumping around as they walked, arrived at the gate of the courtyard. Lian Yun immediately saw his elder brother Lian Ping, who was sitting at the door of the main room embroidering clothes.

"Brother! I'm here."

When Father Lin heard the voice, he looked up with a look of joy on his face. He put down the needle and thread in his hands and stood up to greet him.

"Ahem, Xiaoyun, why are you here? And our Xiaoyu is here too, come and let uncle hug you."

Father Lin squatted down and stretched out his arms towards Zhang Lianyu. Zhang Lianyu looked up at his father, and when he saw him nod, he rushed over.

"Uncle, Xiaoyu misses you so much."

"Uncle also misses our Xiao Yu'er."

Father Lin picked up Zhang Lianyu with his eyes full of love. This was the child his younger brother had given birth to after risking his life. It was raining heavily at the time, and Wen Gong had not come yet. The baby in Lianyun's belly could not be born and she started to bleed heavily.

He felt like the sky was falling and thought Lian Yun was going to leave him. Fortunately, Lian Yun's wife Zhang Tong arrived in time carrying Wen Gong on her back, and the father and son were safe.

Lian Yun often brought the child back, so the two families were very fond of the child.

Lian Yun took the basket and lifted the coarse cloth, revealing a pile of pears on top.

"Brother, I saw someone selling pears on the street, so I bought some. Pears are good for moistening the skin. I also bought some white flour. I will cook some vegetable pancakes for you today."

After saying that, he picked up the basket and walked towards the kitchen. When he entered the kitchen, he found that something was different. There were some more cans on the stove and a lot more things on the kitchen cabinets.

He opened the big jar on the stove and found it was full of lard. He then went to look at the rice jar under the kitchen cabinet and found it was full of refined rice.

"Brother! Big brother!"

Father Lin listened to his brother's shouting and walked to the kitchen with the child in his arms: "What's wrong?"

When Lian Yun saw him come in, he quickly went forward and pulled him to the stove, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, what's the matter with these things? I haven't been here for more than ten days, why are there so many things?"

The last time they came was when their family came to attend Jiao Jie'er's wedding. They didn't have a big celebration, just invited acquaintances and family members to have a meal together. He was busy running around, and he knew very well how much food there was at home.

Seeing Lian Yun being so careful, Father Lin held Zhang Lianyu in one hand and took out a jar from the kitchen cabinet with the other hand, opened the lid, and took out a crystal clear rock candy.

"These things were bought with the money Jiao Jieer earned from helping her friend with her business."

After saying that, he handed the rock candy to Zhang Lianyu's mouth. Zhang Lianyu subconsciously opened his mouth and ate it, then his eyes lit up.

"So sweet! What is this, uncle? It's delicious!"

Lian Yun looked at his son like this and patted his head.

"You just eat, but you don't even thank your uncle."

Zhang Lianyu covered her head and said sweetly, "Thank you, uncle."

Lian Yun looked at the can of candy and asked uncertainly: "Brother, is this candy?"

"Yes, rock sugar, all bought by Sister Jiao."

Lian Yun was surprised: "Oh my god! This candy is not cheap! Who is Jiao Jie'er's friend? Why haven't I heard of him before?"

Father Lin was also unclear: "He said he met someone recently, ahem, a sea merchant from the next village. By the way, bring some extra dishes back when you go back."

Having said that, he put Zhang Lianyu down, then took out garlic and other things from the kitchen cabinet, and introduced to him the uses of these and how to grow them one by one.

Lian Yun was stunned for a moment, then he sighed, "Great, great, Jiao Jie'er has made great progress, big brother should enjoy his life."

Father Lin smiled and did not refute. He took Zhang Lianyu's hand and walked out: "Don't bother yourself. I'll let Zhier show you his skills with these things in the extra chapters at noon. You can have a good chat with me in the main hall."

Seeing the guests coming, Lin Jiaojiao was thinking in her room whether she should go to the hunter Lin's house to buy some meat. The meat she bought last time could not be kept due to the hot weather, so it had been eaten up in the past two days.

When she was about to go out, she heard Lin's father calling her from the main room, so she opened the door and went out.

"Jiao'er, we're out of meat. Go to the hunter Lin to see if he has any meat. If he does, buy some back."

Father Lin handed Lin Jiaojiao a purse, but she did not take it.

"Dad, I have money on me. I'll go right away."

After she finished speaking, she walked out and happened to meet Lian Yun who came in. Seeing that the way he looked at her had changed, she nodded and greeted him, then went to the kitchen, picked up the backpack and set off.

Hunter Lin lives at the foot of the mountain behind. She is a middle-aged woman, tall and strong.

When she arrived in front of the yard of Lin the Hunter's house, she didn't see anyone. She called out a few times, and then a petite middle-aged man walked out of the house.

"It's Jiao Jie'er. Your Aunt Lin has gone to the mountains and hasn't come back yet."

"Uncle Lin, I'm here to buy meat. Do you have any extra game for sale?"

When the hunter Lin's young wife heard that someone was here to buy meat, she quickly opened the gate and invited him in.

Lin Jiaojiao followed him to the back of the house and found several cages containing rabbits and pheasants.

These were all caught alive by forest hunters. Few people in the village come to buy meat. Occasionally, when there are too many or he hunts a big catch, he will sell them in town. Generally, he keeps the rest.

Lin Jiaojiao saw there was another nest of little rabbits and squatted beside them watching them. They were so cute.

"Uncle Lin, are you selling this little rabbit?"

"This little one doesn't have much meat, so I'll give you ten cents."

"I'll buy it back for my husband to keep as a toy."

In fact, she wanted to keep it, but she was sure that Lin Yizhi would like it too.

In the end, Lin Jiaojiao bought two pheasants for one hundred wen, and four rabbits, two big and two small, for two hundred wen. Seeing that she bought a lot, the little rabbit was given to her without asking for money.
