New ink fragrance in old times

Han Yi walked closer and looked at the few people without saying anything.

Lin Mo was a little nervous about his uncle's arrival. He was not familiar with him and didn't know what to do.

Lin Mo found that his cousins were like mice seeing a cat, not a single one of them made a sound, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

At this time, Han Yi glanced at Han An who was standing beside him, and said to Lin Siyuan: "Well, let your aunt find a rope for you to string it together later."

When Lin Siyuan heard this, Ren quickly replied, "Thank you, uncle."

Han An also responded with a smile: "Thank you, uncle."

Han Qian, Han Yi, and Han Kai also echoed excitedly, "Thank you, Dad."

Han Hua said shyly, "Thank you, uncle. When I learn it, I'll play it for you."

Han Yi nodded and said, "Okay, kids, let's go and eat. I made a lot of delicious food today, let's go and try it together."

Several people followed Han Yi obediently to the front yard to eat.

Lin Mo looked at the food on the table and swallowed.

The fragrance of garlic cabbage, the richness of winter melon stewed meat, and a fresh and delicious fish make people salivate and can't stop.

Lin Mo ate with great relish, and from time to time he would share the deliciousness of the food with his cousins around him.

After the meal, everyone was satisfied and the atmosphere became more harmonious.

After dinner, Han's mother spoke some private words to her daughter Han Suniang.

Han Suniang took out the winter clothes she had sewn from her bundle and handed them to her mother, her eyes full of filial piety: "Mom, this is the coat I made for you and Dad. The weather is getting colder, you and Dad should take care of your health."

Mother Han stroked the delicate stitches, her eyes slightly red, and said distressedly: "Su Niang, mother and father are both fine, you have to take care of yourself too."

On the other side, aunts Du Yao and Sun Lian were busy stringing together the oak bean flutes in Lin Mo's and others' hands with red ropes. Each string looked particularly unique.

Lin Mo looked down at the flute on his chest, filled with joy. He couldn't help but ask, "Aunt, what is this acorn? What is it used for?"

Du Yao (my aunt) explained with a smile: "These acorns grow on some old trees. They have many uses."

Sun Lian (my aunt) took over the conversation: "Let's go to the mountains to pick up these acorns. After collecting them, we can sell them to the dyeing shop in town. The dyeing shop can use them to dye cloth."

Lin Mo looked at the acorns on his chest: So that’s it, a natural pigment.

Lin Siyuan nodded in agreement: "Our family has done this before. But we've been too busy these past two years and haven't had time to go look for it in the mountains."

Lin Mo nodded.

After a brief reunion, it was time for the Lin family to return home.

Mrs. Lin said to Han Fu, "My dear, we are leaving now. Please take good care of yourself."

Han Fu: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I will. But you should be careful on the road. Su Niang is in a serious condition now, so I'm sorry to trouble you to take care of her."

Lin Siyuan and Lin Mo also bid farewell to their cousins.

Han Qi smiled and said to Lin Mo, "Sanlang, next time we meet, we must have a good competition to see who is the master of the flute."

Lin Mo showed no sign of weakness: "Hmph, then we'll wait and see."

Han's mother asked her daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren to stay for a few more days. Although Han Suniang wanted to stay very much, considering that she was already pregnant and had difficulty moving, she shook her head and said gently:

"Mom, I also want to spend more time with you, but I'm too heavy now and it's inconvenient for me to stay here. I'll bring the baby to see you after he's born."

Although Han's mother was disappointed, she nodded in understanding.

Before leaving, Han's mother packed a lot of things for her, including vegetables, chestnuts, eggs, and even caught a chicken for her to take back to replenish her body.

Han Suniang quickly declined: "Mom, I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't accept it. You can keep it for yourself."

Mrs. Lin: "Yes, sister, we have them at home."

After some pushing and shoving among the three, Han Suniang took the vegetables, eggs and chestnuts home.

Lin Mo also had a special gift from his uncle—a small bag of oak beans.

The two uncles, Han Ren and Han Yi, insisted on sending Mrs. Lin and the others back to the Lin family. Mrs. Lin refused repeatedly: "Oh, no need, we can go back by ourselves. You still have things to do."

Mother Han smiled and said, "Sister, please don't be polite. I just asked them to go to town to buy something. We happened to be traveling together, so you two can keep each other company."

What made Lin Mo curious was that the two dogs, Dahuang and Erhuang, were also led by Lin Siyuan and followed behind them.

Lin Mo looked at Lin Siyuan with a puzzled look. Lin Siyuan explained, "Da Huang and Er Huang will go home with us."

Lin Mo, who couldn't get an answer, shouted in his heart: I'm curious why these two dogs went home with us?

Unfortunately, Lin Siyuan couldn't hear Lin Mo's inner roar and couldn't answer his questions.

Mrs. Lin turned to Han Ren and asked, "Have those people come this year?"

There was a hint of worry in her tone.

Han Suniang followed closely behind and asked worriedly, "Yes, brother, they didn't come again this year, did they?"

Lin Mo pricked up his ears and muttered to himself: There is a melon, it must be a big melon.

Han Ren shook his head and said solemnly, "There aren't many chestnuts in the mountains this year, and I haven't seen any of those people."

Han Yi: "We put in a lot of effort this year. Five or six dogs patrolled back and forth, biting anyone who came. I guess they were too timid to come."

There was a hint of pride in his tone, and he was obviously proud of the precautions his family had taken.

After hearing this, Lin Xuejin breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion, "That's good."

Han Ren sighed, his expression still solemn. "Actually, I think they just saw that there were not enough chestnuts this year, so they didn't want to take the risk. If there are more chestnuts next year, they might come again."

Upon hearing this, Han Yi was furious. "These people are going too far! They come here every year to steal chestnuts, especially last year. We were picking them up on one hill, and they were stealing them on another. It's impossible to guard against them! It really makes me so angry!"

Han Yi's words were filled with resentment towards the thieves.

Han Ren also said indignantly: "Yes, these people are so shameless! Every time we go to catch them, they run faster than rabbits. Moreover, they know our patrol routes and always manage to cleverly avoid us."

Han Ren and Han Yi became angrier the more they thought about it, and they spoke a string of beautiful words to dispel their inner anger.

Old Madam Lin frowned, her tone tinged with anger. "Who on earth is doing these petty thefts? Aren't they afraid of retribution?"

Lin Xuejin couldn't help but sigh, "Yeah, two brothers, haven't you ever caught them?"
