Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

"What good things did you bring me?"

Lin Yinan motioned for the servant to bring it over to him and said, "I prepared all of this myself. There are wine and cakes. I'm sure you will like it."

Master Dao opened the box and took a piece of cloud cake and put it into his mouth. "It's soft, sticky and sweet. It really suits my appetite. Is the wine newly brewed this year?"

After finishing the meal, he passed the box to Su Kunliang and said, "Try it too. It tastes good."

Su Kunliang also ate a piece and waved his hand. He has always been restrained and does not have too many pursuits in food.

"Yes, this year's new wine."

"It's too sweet, and not as tasty as in previous years." Master Dao pouted in disdain.

Lin Yinan advised him gently, "The alcohol content was higher in previous years. You are old, and drinking is not good for your health."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll drink this year's. You've been busy all year round. You should rest more."

Master Dao looked at her and nodded imperceptibly.

Lin Yinan pretended not to know and turned to look at the study where Zhou Linzhao worked every day.

"Why don't you see Master Zhou?"

"That idiot was busy with books all day, maybe he got wise now, and went out with the other teachers."

The three of them fell into a brief silence, and occasionally heard the voices of Qianwu and Yun Shijiu talking in the classroom.

Su Kunliang took a sip of tea, looked at Lin Yinan and said, "Yesterday I heard from the brothers in my clan that there was an epidemic in Cangwu County. I wanted to look for you this morning, but you were not here. I wonder if this is true?"

"It's true. The Deng family's steward told Liu Ji himself that if you want to go back to visit your relatives, it's best not to go yet."

Hearing this, Su Kunliang's heart skipped a beat. He wondered whether Ru'er had informed her grandfather.

"Anan, is there any way to send a letter over there?" He thought it would be safer to write a letter in person to inform his father.

Lin Yinan shook his head, "No, I don't plan to send anyone there in the near future."

Su Kunliang felt a little disappointed.

Master Dao thought clearly, patted his old friend on the shoulder, and said, "There is nothing we can do about it. If you get the disease, it will cost your life."

Thinking that his daughter was in the Deng family, he thought that the Deng family would not sit idly by and would notify the Su family, the in-laws, no matter what. Su Kunliang did not insist on writing a letter back.

"I wonder if the epidemic will spread to the south?" Su Kunliang began to worry about this.

Dao Fuzi held the bottle of wine and soon the bottle was empty. He smacked his lips and said meaningfully, "It's hard to say."

Although the wine was newly brewed this year, it tasted sweet and had a strong aftertaste.

Seeing that the master drank a pound of wine in just a few gulps, Lin Yinan ordered his servants to take away the remaining wine and not let him drink any more.

"It's okay, I'm not drunk."

"You can't drink anymore even if you're not drunk." Lin Yinan frowned and refused to let him drink anymore.

Master Dao did not argue with her. He leaned back in his chair, snoring softly in the warm sun. The servant tactfully brought a blanket and covered him with it.

Lin Yinan got up quietly and found Qian Wu in the classroom. The two of them took Yun Shijiu out of the school.

Hearing the footsteps fade away, Master Dao half-closed his eyes and looked at Su Kunliang, jokingly saying: "As the saying goes, a good husband and a good wife will bring prosperity to the family!"

Su Kunliang stared at him with wide eyes, and really wanted to throw the tea on his face!

After leaving the school, Lin Yinan met the Lin brothers who were returning from collecting firewood on his way back.

Lin Yian and Lu Changqing were also carrying a large bundle of firewood on their backs. When they saw her, their eyes were clear and bright.

The two young boys stood there, still standing tall even with dry firewood on their backs, just like scallions nourished by the morning dew, fresh and full of vitality.

"Sister, where are you going?"

"I just gave the Master a New Year's gift."

The two of them happily surrounded Lin Yinan.

"Sister Anan, we found a nest of rabbits on the mountain. We plan to take tools and dig out the nest tomorrow. Do you want to go with us to take a look?"

Lu Changqing has grown taller, and when he smiles, two cute little fangs are revealed, and his face is full of vitality.

Yun Shijiu, who was drowsy on Qianwu's back, suddenly became alert, raised his head, and looked at Lin Yinan with sparkling eyes.

Lin Yinan felt that he had very little time to accompany her, so he agreed.

"Okay, I'll go up the mountain with you tomorrow."

"Sister, it's settled then. Let's go back and prepare our things."

The two men happily walked away carrying the firewood.

While it was still early, Lin Yinan took Qianwu for a walk on the street.

While passing by a snack stand, Lin Yinan bought a few fresh meat patties.

"Madam, are you hungry?" Qian Wu thought she didn't eat enough at the Lin family at noon.

Lin Yinan's lips curled slightly, and he smiled and shook his head, "I bought it for Qianxia to eat. Qianxia loves his fresh meat patties the most. They are not fat or greasy."

She just stood on the street, with a unique temperament, cool and elegant, it was hard not to attract attention.

When he heard her say Chinatsu's name, the stall owner packed the cakes and looked at her excitedly.

"Are you City Lord Lin?!"

Lin Yinan took the cake and didn't say anything.

Qian Wu touched the silver and handed it over, but the stall owner quickly refused, "No, no, these are just two cakes. I'm asking the city lord to taste them. How can I accept your money?"

Without saying a word, Lin Yinan threw the wrapped pancake into his arms and turned away.

"We don't want things that don't cost money."

Qian Wu was about to follow, but the stall owner was quick to snatch the silver from her hand and stuffed the meat pie back into her hand.

"I have received the money. Please leave now, sir."

After the two men walked away, he heaved a long sigh of relief. He almost offended the city lord.

Luckily he was smart!

After walking around, the two bought a lot of food and daily necessities, and finally packed a large portion of wontons.

When we arrived at Qianxia's house, she and Liu Sisi were sitting in the yard basking in the sun while mending clothes.

Yun Si's house is right next to Yun Shiyi's. Those who know kung fu don't need to go out, they can just jump to the next yard with a light jump.

Lin Yinan could tell at a glance that Qianxia was sewing Yun Shiyi's clothes.

Even though the secret guards' clothes were made of the best materials, they would still wear out very quickly.

Liu Sisi held her chin with her hand, and watched Qianxia sew with her beautiful eyes, with envy on her face.

Suddenly, she came close to Chinatsu and whispered something in her ear, causing Chinatsu's face to turn red instantly.

"Sister Sisi, don't talk nonsense. Our Eleven is a serious person."

Lin Yinan and Qian Wu stepped into the yard. "What are you talking about? You look so happy."

I don’t know if Lin Yinan heard it, but Liu Sisi felt embarrassed.

"Madam, Qianwu, please come in and sit down."

Qianxia hurriedly asked the invited woman to make tea and serve the guests.

"Eat the food my madam bought for you while it's hot." Qian Wu showed her the things in her hand one by one.

Lin Yinan said to Liu Sisi with an apologetic look on his face: "I didn't know you were here, so I didn't buy it for you."

"It's okay. If it tastes good, I'll go buy it tomorrow."

As Liu Sisi spoke, her eyes were bright and her gaze was lively, which was pleasing to the eye.

No wonder there are always those scoundrels who spend huge sums of money just to catch a glimpse of a beautiful woman.
