New ink fragrance in old times

Lin Mo looked up and saw that it was Da Lang and Er Lang who had returned. A smile immediately appeared on his face: "Big Brother, Second Brother, you are back!"

Lin Sizhe was more direct. He hugged Lin Sixuan's legs, his little face full of a happy smile: "Brother, I miss you so much!"

At the same time, Xing'er and Hua'er, two lively and lovely little girls, also came over happily.

Lin Siyuan looked at Lin Mo, a smile flashing in his eyes. He reached out and touched Lin Mo's head: "Sanlang, you've grown taller. It seems that you have been eating less recently?"

Lin Mo was amused by Lin Siyuan's words. He was speechless for a moment. It's only been half a month since we last met. I'm not a flying monkey, how could I grow taller so quickly?

Lin Sixuan turned to look at Xing'er beside him and asked softly, "Sister, where are the others? Erlang and I haven't seen them."

Xing'er explained, "Da Lang, mother and Third Auntie just left a while ago and said they were going to pick you up."

Lin Sixuan nodded: "We just met him."

Xing'er nodded and continued, "Second Aunt is tired and is resting in the house. Don't disturb her now."

Lin Sixuan nodded. Lin Sizhe beside him said excitedly, "Brother, He'er and the others are too tired after playing this afternoon. They are still sleeping in bed. I don't think they will wake up for a while."

Lin Sixuan reached out and touched Lin Sizhe's head, and the two of them walked to the fire and sat down together. The firelight reflected on their young faces, making them look particularly warm.

Lin Sizhe seemed to have opened up his chatterbox and kept talking:

"Brother, let me tell you something. On Laba Festival, I took advantage of everyone's inattention and secretly hid a few pieces of ice. As a result, my mother found out and gave me a good scolding. My butt still hurts."

As he spoke, he rubbed his butt exaggeratedly, making Lin Sixuan and Lin Siyuan laugh.

Lin Sixuan listened, his eyes slightly reproachful. "Silang, although you are young, you should still take care of your body. The ice is extremely cold, and it is the coldest time of the year. Everything seeks benefits and avoids harm, but you are doing the opposite. Eating ice is extremely bad for your health.

You even hid it in your clothes and quilt, which makes it easier for cold air to enter your body and cause illness. Don't be so naughty next time, understand?"

Lin Sizhe stuck out his tongue and nodded seriously: "I know, brother, I won't do this again in the future."

At this time, Lin Siyuan couldn't help laughing while listening to Lin Sizhe's funny story. He turned to look at the silent Lin Mo with a playful look in his eyes and asked, "Sanlang, tell me the truth, did you hide the ice as well?"

Lin Mo raised his head, his eyes clear, and shook his head gently: "Second brother, I didn't."

Seeing this, Lin Siyuan laughed even more heartily: "Haha, your grandfather must have found out about this, and you all got punished, right?"

When Lin Sizhe heard this, his eyes widened in surprise: "Second brother, how did you know? Did grandpa tell you?"

Lin Siyuan shook his head mysteriously, a smug smile on his face: "This is a secret, I can't tell you."

Lin Sizhe looked at Lin Siyuan enviously, his eyes full of admiration: "Second brother, you are so amazing, you know everything."

Lin Siyuan smiled and patted Lin Sizhe's shoulder, his eyes revealing a bit of maturity and stability, which was the calmness and composure after having experienced ups and downs: "Silang, when you grow up, you will understand."

Lin Sizhe nodded repeatedly with starry eyes, his eyes gleaming with infinite longing and expectation for the future: "Really?"

Lin Sizhe nodded and said no more.

Lin Mo looked at Lin Siyuan's mysterious and somewhat complacent look, and his heart couldn't help but ripple.

It is not difficult to tell from the second brother's expression that the Lin family is extremely strict in enforcing the rules. If one person makes a mistake, the whole family will be punished. This has long been deeply rooted in their hearts.

Lin Mo recalled the last time when everyone had stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat. It was still vivid in his mind and was still deeply engraved in his mind. This was the second time it had happened.

At this moment, Shen Xin's loud and slightly hurried voice suddenly came from outside the house: "Da Lang, Er Lang, come out and help!"

This sudden call interrupted the laughter in the house. Lin Sixuan and Lin Siyuan hurriedly stood up and looked at each other. A hint of doubt flashed in their eyes, but they still stood up quickly and ran out of the kitchen.

Seeing this, the other little ones also ran out.

In the yard, Shen Xin was standing next to the donkey cart, sweating profusely. Seeing Lin Sixuan and Lin Siyuan coming out, he hurriedly called out to them, "Da Lang, Er Lang, come quickly, help move these things into the house."

Lin Sixuan and Lin Siyuan quickly started working on the transportation.

"Xing'er, Hua'er, what are you two dawdling about for? Come over and give me a hand."

Xing'er quickly ran to Shen Xin's side: "Mom, I'm here."

Lin Mo followed the busy backs of the crowd, feeling very curious.

Lin Mo turned his head to look at the donkey cart, only to see that it was filled with a wide variety of items.

Lin Mo was very confused. He turned to look at his busy family members and muttered to himself: Why did they suddenly buy so many things today? Although the New Year will come after Laba, it is not yet time to buy New Year's goods.

Countless guesses flashed through Lin Mo's mind, but each one was as vague as seeing flowers in the fog.

However, on second thought, Lin Mo felt that there was really no need to worry too much.

I'm just a child now, and the adults will take care of the big and small matters at home. I just need to enjoy this sudden surprise and don't think too much about the reasons behind it.

Lin Mo shook his head gently, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to himself: Things will work out when the time comes.

Lin Mo simply put aside his doubts and joined the moving team.

Lin Mo took the small paper bag handed to him by Zhao Yue'e. Judging from the smell, it should be pastries. There was also cotton and cloth piled on the donkey cart, as well as some miscellaneous items that Lin Mo could not recognize.

Lin Mo secretly wondered in his heart, could there be some happy event happening at home?

Lin Mo and Lin Sizhe grunted and helped move the small items.

By the time everything was moved, the sky had completely darkened. Only the tiny crescent moon and a few scattered stars were twinkling in the night sky. Occasionally, a cold wind blew, making Lin Mo shiver.

However, due to the busyness just now, Lin Mo was sweating all over, so he didn't feel too cold.

At this time, Zhao Yue'e came out of the house and saw everyone sweating profusely. She said with concern: "Don't just stand there, come inside and warm yourself by the fire. If you sweat and get a breeze, you'll catch a cold easily."
