New ink fragrance in old times

Everything happened as Lin Mo expected. He was assigned to guard the grain drying at home, and to run back and forth in the soybean drying area with Silang and others to assist in the threshing of the soybeans.

But this time it's different. You just need to tap it gently with a flail, and the soybeans will fall out of the pods. When collecting, just shake it gently, and basically all the soybeans can be collected.

Threshing is only the first step.

The difficulty is that a wooden windmill is required to stir the air manually. The key point is that there were no masks in ancient times, and the dust was too heavy.

Lin Mo choked and started coughing.

……

Lin Mo slowly woke up and found himself lying on a shaking donkey cart. An inexplicable confusion suddenly surged in his heart.

He looked around, and a familiar scene slowly unfolded before his eyes, but this familiarity was mixed with a hint of the unusual.

Lin Xiya's gentle and concerned voice came to my ears: "Sanlang, you're awake."

Lin Mo was stunned for a while and found himself lying on a shaking donkey cart instead of the familiar small bed.

Surrounded by the slightly bumpy scenery and luggage piled around me, an inexplicable confusion came over me.

"Where...is this?"

Lin Mo rubbed his eyes, trying to dispel the fog in his mind.

Seeing his bewildered expression, Lin Xiya softly explained, "We're heading towards town."

Lin Mo's memories came back like a tide.

He remembered that the Tang family sent someone to pick up his aunt yesterday and made their attitude clear, so his grandparents decided to send his aunt back to the Tang family.

It’s a pity that I fell asleep yesterday and missed a good show. I don’t know what kind of negotiation I went through yesterday. Lin Mo thought about his fulfilling life in the past few days. For some reason, he felt very tired. No wonder he fell asleep yesterday.

Yesterday, the Tang family sent someone to pick up my aunt. The scene and the attitude revealed an unquestionable determination.

After careful consideration, my grandparents finally agreed to let my aunt return to the Tang family.

Unfortunately, however, Lin Mo fell asleep yesterday and missed what should have been a wonderful negotiation.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel a slight regret in his heart.

I don’t know what kind of verbal battle took place yesterday, nor do I know how my grandparents dealt with the Tang family and finally reached a consensus.

This unknown made Lin Mo feel both curious and anxious.

'It's definitely the fight of the century.'

Lin Mo couldn't help but nodded, thinking back on his life over the past few days, it was so fulfilling.

Lin Mo participated in various household affairs, from drying the grain to helping with threshing, to the busy preparations last night, he was present in every one of them.

At this moment, Lin Mo felt very tired, as if all his strength had been drained away.

No wonder he fell asleep yesterday. Perhaps it was his body's silent protest, reminding him that he needed to rest. Lin Mo sighed softly, closed his eyes, and tried to find a moment of peace in his mind.

The donkey cart continued to move forward, and Lin Mo's thoughts drifted away.

He imagined the scene after his aunt returned to the Tang family, and the scene when his grandparents talked with the Tang family, and his heart was filled with endless reverie.

The donkey cart slowly stopped, and the sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground was particularly clear in the quiet of the early morning.

Lin Xuejin's voice came from the front: "We're here, Sanlang, get off the car. We'll take you to see a doctor first when we get to town."

Lin Mo responded, slowly standing up and stretching his muscles, which had become slightly stiff from the long car ride. Although he still felt a bit tired, the bumpy ride and the gentle breeze had made him feel much better.

He looked around and saw people coming and going on the street. A fresh urban atmosphere filled his face, making him feel relaxed.

Tang Ming stood aside, his eyes sweeping over Tang Qing and the others with concern: "Qing'er, you guys should come down too, so that the doctor can see how you are recovering."

Tang Qing nodded: "I understand, Dad."

She gently patted her younger siblings, signaling them to follow her down the road. Tang Xin and Tang Shan, though curiously surveying their surroundings, followed their brother's lead and jumped off the donkey cart one by one, landing firmly on the ground.

Tang Ming took Tang Lin from Lin Xiya's arms with gentle and skillful movements. Tang Lin smiled at ease in Tang Ming's arms, her little hands tightly grasping Tang Ming's clothes.

Lin Xiya also jumped down from the donkey cart lightly, with a faint smile on her face. She looked at Lin Wenhong and Lin's mother beside her and said softly:

"Dad, Mom, we'll be here for a while. Why don't you go to the market first and see if there's anything you need. We'll meet here later."

Lin Wenhong smiled and nodded, his eyes full of love and understanding. "Okay, you guys go first. We also want to go to the market."

Lin Wenhong stood at the door of the clinic, looking gently at Lin Xuebo in front of him, and whispered, "Third brother, look at the things your second brother is holding. They are quite heavy. Go help him carry them into the clinic."

Lin Xuebo looked up at Lin Xuejin, who was struggling to move things, and nodded readily: "Second brother, I'll help you right away."

As he spoke, he walked quickly forward, picked up a sack, and the two of them walked into the clinic one after another.

The sharp-eyed clerk in the clinic recognized Lin Xuejin immediately and quickly came forward to greet him warmly. He naturally led him inside and exchanged a few pleasantries:

"Brother Shengzi, are you here to deliver herbs again today? The quality of your herbs is as good as ever. Our clinic trusts you the most in its supply."

Lin Xuejin smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to Lin Mo who was waiting in line at the side, and gently instructed: "Sanlang, you wait in line here first, Dad will come to find you soon, don't run around."

Lin Mo looked up and nodded obediently: "Okay, Dad, I understand."

Lin Xuejin and Lin Xuebao went in and out of the clinic several times.

The waiter looked down at the herbs Lin Xuejin had brought and praised them highly: "Brother Shengzi, your herbs are really amazing. I'll still calculate the price for you according to the old rules and make sure you don't suffer any loss."

Lin Xuejin showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Then I'll have to trouble you, brother."

The bill was settled quickly, and Lin Xuejin and Lin Xuebo walked out of the inner room. Lin Xuebo glanced at Lin Mo who was still waiting in line, and said to Lin Xuejin, "Second brother, you and Sanlang are here, I'll leave first."

Lin Xuejin nodded in agreement.

Lin Xuebo turned around and said to Tang Ming and Lin Xiya who were waiting in line, "Sister, brother-in-law, I'm going to go for a walk. You guys go ahead and do your work."

Lin Xiya looked up at Lin Xuebo: "Okay, little brother."

Lin Xuebao responded and strode out of the pharmacy. He came to the donkey cart parked at the door, pulled the reins expertly, and turned to ask Lin Wenhong and Zhao Yue'e, "Dad, Mom, where are we going next?"

Lin Wenhong handed the decision to Zhao Yue'e: "I listen to your mother, she has the final say."

Zhao Yue'e thought about it and suggested, "Why don't we sell the soybeans we brought from home to the workshop first, and then we can deal with the rest later."

Lin Xuebo: "Okay."

Everyone first went to a nearby workshop and sold the soybeans at a good price.

Zhao Yue'e stood in the bustling market, thinking about her next arrangements.

She turned to look at Lin Wenhong and softly suggested, "Dad, let's split up. The eldest son's wife and I will go to the embroidery workshop and sell the handkerchiefs and laces embroidered by the family. You and the second son Xuebo will stay here and deal with the remaining shoulder poles, bamboo baskets, and baskets."

Lin Wenhong nodded approvingly: "Let's do it this way. You take the eldest brother's wife to the embroidery workshop, and the second brother and I will guard the stall here. Let's hurry up and meet up again after everything is sold out."

Zhao Yue'e smiled and nodded, then turned to Shen Xin and said, "Big Boss's wife, let's go."

"Okay, mother."

Shen Xin responded and followed Zhao Yue'e. The two walked side by side towards the embroidery workshop, talking and laughing along the way. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

On the other side, Lin Wenhong and Lin Xuebao set up a stall in a corner of the market.

They neatly placed shoulder poles, bamboo baskets, baskets and other items on the stalls, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Lin Wenhong stood in front of the stall, greeting customers warmly and introducing the advantages and prices of his products.

"Look at this shoulder pole. It's strong and durable. It makes carrying things easy and labor-saving. Would you like one?"

Lin Wenhong said to a passerby with a smile.

The pedestrians stopped and looked carefully at the shoulder poles on the stalls, a hint of satisfaction flashing in their eyes.
