New ink fragrance in old times

At this moment, Hu Zi suddenly stood up, his eyes were red, obviously he had just cried, but his tone was extremely firm:

"Grandma, I gave the candy to Douzi. I thought it tasted delicious and wanted Douzi to have a taste too, so I forced it on him. I told you for a long time but you didn't believe me and insisted on blaming Douzi. I will never talk to you again!" After saying that, he turned and ran away, leaving Mrs. Fang in shock.

After seeing Hu Zi leave, Niu Zi broke free from Fang Pozi's arms and chased after Hu Zi, "Brother, wait for me."

Mrs. Fang was stunned for a moment, then she reacted, quickly broke free from Mrs. Lin's hand, and hurriedly chased after her, shouting, "Huzi, Niuzi, run slower, wait for grandma..."

After watching this farce, the people around said to Mrs. Lin, "Aunt Lin, we all know who Douzi is. He would never do such sneaky things."

Old Mrs. Lin thanked everyone one by one with gratitude.

The sudden turmoil finally subsided, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, leaving behind Mrs. Lin, Lin Mo and other members of the Lin family.

Old Mrs. Lin sighed softly, looked at Lin Mo with gentle eyes, and said earnestly: "Sanlang, didn't grandma tell you not to play with Huzi? Huzi is impatient and prone to getting into trouble. Plus, Huzi's grandma is unreasonable. Look at what happened today, it has caused so much misunderstanding. From now on, you should play with other children in the village more."

"Also, you can judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. From now on, don't accept anything Hu Zi gives you, especially anything that goes into your mouth. Don't eat it." Old Mrs. Lin's tone was very serious, as if she was worried about something.

Lin Mo was a little puzzled by Old Lady Lin's inexplicable behavior. It seemed that she was too wary of the Wan family.

Lin Mo was silent for a while, then nodded: "I understand."

Seeing this, Lin Sixuan walked gently to the side of Old Lady Lin and said slowly in a respectful yet gentle tone:

"Grandmother, look at this child, Sanlang. He has a pure heart, like a newborn calf, and always treats others with a sincere heart. His kindness and compassion are a blessing to our Lin family."

Lin Sixuan looked into Sanlang's clear eyes, his heart filled with warmth and understanding. "As for Huzi, he's a straightforward and innocent child. The friendship between them is pure and natural, a truly rare and precious kind of innocent friendship between children."

Lin Sixuan paused for a moment, then continued, "The troubles of the adult world shouldn't be dragged into the hearts of these innocent people. Therefore, I believe we should respect Sanlang's choice and not interfere too much with his right to make friends."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lin said nothing.

Then, Lin Sixuan turned to face Sanlang, his eyes full of encouragement and trust. He squatted down, looked Lin Mo in the eye, and spoke in a gentler and firmer tone:

"Sanlang, remember, you are free. In this world, the most precious thing is to follow your heart. No matter who you choose to be friends with, as long as it brings you happiness and peace of mind, pursue them bravely. Grandmother and I will stand by you, supporting you and protecting you."

These words, like the warm spring sun, warmed the hearts of everyone present.

After hearing this, Lin Mo was deeply moved and thought: Lin Jia Dalang is such a good person.

Lin Siyuan stepped forward and took Lin Mo's hand, saying firmly, "Me too, Sanlang, I will always protect you."

"Me too, me too. Shi Lang will also protect his brother." Lin Sizhe on the side jumped up and down in agreement.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the clouds and falls on them, adding a touch of softness and tranquility to this warm scene.

"What should we do with the candies that Hu Zi gave us?" Lin Mo asked, holding up the malt candy in his hand.

Hearing this, Mrs. Lin sighed deeply and said, "Eat it."

Lin Mo distributed the candies in his hand to Old Lady Lin, Lin Sixuan, Lin Siyuan, Lin Sizhe, Lin Sinan, Xing'er, Hua'er and all the Lin family members except He'er.

Everyone ate candy and started their journey home.

At the dinner table, Lin Mo listened once again to Mr. and Mrs. Lin telling stories about their ancestors, listening with great concentration.

In the evening, the sound of firecrackers rang out in the village, and the Lin family was no exception. They lit firecrackers at the door of their house to ward off evil and welcome the arrival of night.

As night falls, the Lin family gathers in front of the altar again, holding incense and candles, and slowly lights them with awe in their hearts. Wisps of green smoke rise up, as if carrying their prayers and thoughts, drifting towards the distant sky.

"Thanks to the blessings of our ancestors, our Lin family has flourished." Old Master Lin spoke first, his voice low and full of gratitude.

"I pray for good weather, good harvests, good health and happiness for my family in the coming year." As Grandpa Lin finished his prayer, the Lin family members also silently recited their wishes in their hearts, hoping that these beautiful wishes would be blessed and responded to by God.

Lin Mo prayed that he could return to the modern era as soon as possible; no matter where Sanlang went, he hoped he would be fine; and he also hoped that everyone in the Lin family could get what they wanted.

After the ceremony, Lin Siyuan walked over to Lin Mo and patted him on the shoulder: "Sanlang, let me test your memorization skills. Do you still remember the Three Character Classic I taught you this morning? Recite it for me. If you can, I'll give you a reward."

Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, thinking: He has forgotten about this. Should I recite it to him directly or pretend that I didn't remember anything?

Seeing Lin Mo's troubled expression, Lin Sixuan also walked over and said to Lin Mo gently, "Sanlang, I'm going to test you later. Do you recognize the characters I taught you today?"

Lin Mo collapsed: It was hard to deal with one person at a time, and now there are two people. How can he handle it?

Lin Mo frowned, and there seemed to be countless paths intertwined in his mind. He was putting all his effort into a silent brainstorming session.

Every flash of thought is accompanied by a quick assessment of the possible consequences, trying to find the most advantageous and safest exit among the complex options.

However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that every choice was accompanied by unknowns and risks, which made him hesitant and difficult to make a decision.

At this moment, a burst of light laughter broke the silence. Lin Sixuan's eyes were filled with a hint of playfulness and tenderness. "Okay, Sanlang, I won't tease you anymore."

His words were like a spring breeze, instantly blowing away the haze in Lin Mo's heart. "It doesn't matter if you don't remember. You're tired today. Go to bed early. Erlang and I will teach you tomorrow."

Lin Mo nodded, his lips curled up unconsciously. "Thank you, big brother, second brother. I will have a good rest tonight and will definitely memorize it tomorrow."

Lin Sixuan and Lin Siyuan smiled at each other, their eyes full of encouragement and trust in their younger brother.

As the night deepens, the moonlight outside the window becomes brighter and softer. It quietly pours into the courtyard, covering this quiet night with a layer of silver gauze.

The lights in every household gradually went out, leaving only a few scattered lights in the distance, as if they were the most gentle watchers in the night sky.

In this quiet and peaceful moment, people put aside the busyness and troubles of the day, and slowly fall asleep with deep nostalgia for their deceased ancestors and beautiful visions of future life.
