New ink fragrance in old times

After dinner, Lin Mo quickly got up and walked briskly into the house. Lin Mo rummaged through the drawers and cabinets, almost turning his bed and boxes upside down, but there was still no trace of the package.

"Sanlang, why haven't you come out yet? Don't keep us waiting for too long." Old Mrs. Lin urged gently outside the house, with a bit of kindness and anxiety in her voice.

Lin Mo responded helplessly, feeling a little annoyed. He had to give up the search temporarily and hurried out of the room and came to the yard.

Everyone was in the yard, except my eldest brother.

"Grandma, isn't my elder brother going?" Lin Mo asked curiously, searching for his elder brother in the crowd.

Mrs. Lin shook her head gently. "Da Lang still has homework to finish, so he won't go today. San Lang, you go with your parents later. Don't bother your mother on the way, okay?"

Hearing what Old Lady Lin said, Lin Mo felt a little regretful that he couldn't go with his elder brother, but thinking that his mother could get what she wanted, his heart was filled with anticipation, and he readily agreed, "Okay!"

Old Mrs. Lin turned to look at her second grandson, Lin Siyuan, and said earnestly, "Erlang, please look after your mother and Sanlang on the way, okay? Your mother isn't feeling well right now, so you have to be more careful."

Lin Siyuan nodded, his expression firm: "I understand, grandma, I will take good care of mom."

At this time, Lin Xuejin quickly patted his chest and assured Mrs. Lin: "Don't worry, mother, I will take good care of my wife, as well as Erlang and Sanlang, and make sure everyone is safe."

Mrs. Lin's worries eased a little after hearing this, but she was still worried. She turned her gaze to Han Suniang who was about to leave. She sighed, her eyes full of worry: "Suniang, you are heavy now, so walk slowly on the road. If you feel uncomfortable, take a rest for a while."

Lin Xuejin walked past his wife and took the prepared backpack filled with water and dry food.

He turned around and said to Mrs. Lin, "Don't worry, mother. We will be careful."

As the four of them were about to leave the yard, Mrs. Lin looked at Han Suniang's bulging belly, sighed, and said with some concern, "I'll go with you."

Lin Xuejin advised: "Mom, you were tired all day yesterday, take a good rest today."

Han Suniang agreed: "Yes, mother, don't worry, everything will be fine."

Old Mrs. Lin took the basket of dry food and carefully divided the food into a small backpack. She carried it on her back and said, "I'd better go with you. There will be more people to look after us."

Seeing this, Han Suniang's eyes were full of gratitude: "Thank you, mother, we feel more at ease with you here."

Old Madam Lin turned to her eldest daughter-in-law, Shen Xin, and her youngest daughter-in-law, Lu Yue (as mentioned earlier, I’m using the same phrase here to avoid looking weird). She said, “I’ll leave the house to you. Keep an eye on it.”

Shen Xin and Lu Yue quickly responded: "Don't worry, Mom, we will take good care of the family."

Before leaving, Mrs. Lin reminded him again: "Be careful on the road. The mountain road is rugged. Be careful when walking. Especially Suniang, you must not be stubborn."

Lin Xuejin reassured: "Mom, don't worry, we will take good care of ourselves and each other."

Old Mrs. Lin and her second son's family slowly left the Lin family courtyard and set out on the journey to Han Su's mother's home.

Taking Han Suniang's physical condition into consideration, Mrs. Lin deliberately chose a wider and flatter road instead of the rugged path she usually took to save time.

"Suniang, how do you feel now? If you feel tired on the road, we can take a few more breaks." Old Mrs. Lin asked Han Suniang with concern as they walked, her eyes full of worry.

Han Suniang smiled and shook her head, indicating that she was fine: "Don't worry, mother, I'm fine. Erlang has been chatting with me all the way."

Mrs. Lin nodded and said, "That's good. Erlang, you have to take good care of your mother and brother, okay?"

Lin Siyuan responded: "Don't worry, grandma, I will."

The group walked and stopped from time to time, and Old Lady Lin asked everyone to stop and rest from time to time, for fear that Han Suniang would be tired.

After more than half an hour, Han Suniang pointed ahead and said to Lin Mo gently:

"Sanlang, look, if we follow this road for another half a quarter of an hour, we'll reach Grandpa's house."

Lin Mo nodded excitedly: "Really? Then we are almost there!"

After walking a few steps, a few big yellow dogs suddenly ran up to him. They were strong and had bright fur, which scared Lin Mo for a moment.

He quickly stood in front of Han Suniang, staring at these uninvited guests nervously, and was mentally prepared for a desperate fight.

"Don't be afraid, Sanlang, I'm here."

Seeing this, Lin Siyuan hurriedly comforted Lin Mo, and at the same time he slowly moved forward, trying to make contact with the big yellow dogs.

Lin Mo's heart was in his throat, and he stared at Lin Siyuan's every move nervously.

Lin Siyuan suddenly squatted down and gently touched the head of one of the big yellow dogs, saying with some intimacy: "Big Yellow, I haven't seen you for a few days. You have gained a lot of weight."

The dog named Dahuang seemed to understand Lin Siyuan's words. It wagged its tail wildly and looked very excited.

Immediately afterwards, a dog with lighter fur nearby came over and rubbed against Lin Siyuan affectionately.

Seeing this, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but mutter, "It turns out I met a familiar dog. I was scared to death."

Lin Siyuan couldn't help laughing when he heard Lin Mo's words. He patted the other dog's head and continued, "Erhuang, did you miss me?"

Dahuang and Erhuang were obviously very familiar with Lin Siyuan. They surrounded Lin Siyuan and wagged their tails happily.

However, the two dogs beside Han Suniang still did not disperse. Although they were wagging their tails, Lin Mo still did not dare to slack off.

Han Suniang touched Lin Mo's head and said, "Sanlang, these dogs are very docile and won't hurt anyone. Don't be afraid."

Lin Mo nodded, and the worry in his heart was relieved a little.

Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Mo who was still nervous and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, let's continue on our way, we're almost there."

After saying that, the group started walking again, slowly moving towards Han's mother.

Several dogs followed behind them, wagging their tails wildly as they walked, as if they too were happy about the reunion.

Lin Si saw Han's mother from a distance, and his heart was filled with excitement. He couldn't help but quicken his pace.

He excitedly stepped forward and shouted, "Grandma, we're here!"

When Han's mother heard Lin Siyuan's voice, a kind smile immediately appeared on her face. She replied softly, "Oh, Erlang is here."

Han Suniang followed closely behind Lin Siyuan, tears of excitement gleaming in her eyes. She excitedly called out, "Mom."
