However, the two hotshots, Lin Xuerui and Lin Xuezhi, obviously did not understand Lin Xueqin's subtle intention to change the subject. They still stared at Lin Xueqin in confusion, as if trying to read more information from his face.

At this moment, a chubby little figure suddenly broke through the awkward atmosphere. Lin Sijian ran towards Lin Mo happily and shouted, "Brother Douzi, you are here!"

His enthusiasm caught Lin Mo off guard, and he could only nod stiffly in response to this sudden intimacy.

Immediately afterwards, two little kids of the same age as Lin Sinan and Lin Siheng came jumping up and down. They surrounded Lin Mo and chattered non-stop.

Lin Mo suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He was confused and didn't know who they were.

Seeing this, Lin Xuezhi couldn't help but jokingly said, "What's wrong with Sanlang? Why are you shy like a girl today?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the already awkward atmosphere became even more tense.

Lin Mo smiled bitterly. Even though he knew nothing, he could only try his best to keep smiling, hoping to ease the embarrassment.

"Okay, drink the tea quickly, otherwise it will get cold soon." Li Ling interrupted his brother-in-law Lin Xuezhi and said to everyone, noticing the strange atmosphere.

Lin Xuezhi's wife, Hua Juan, also reacted quickly. She smiled and took over the conversation: "Yes, Niuniu, come here quickly. Mommy will feed you tea. Let Brother Douzi drink tea first."

Hua Juan gently called out to Lin Mushi who was surrounding Lin Mo.

Seeing this, Lin Xiqian quickly joined in with a bowl in hand and said to Li Ling, "Sister-in-law, you feed Kukou. I'll feed Maowa."

Lin Xiqian's actions undoubtedly further eased the atmosphere. She waved to Lin Sijian, who was surrounding Lin Mo, and said, "Mao Wa, come to Second Auntie. After you finish your tea, go play with Brother Douzi, okay?"

After hearing his second aunt's call, Lin Sijian nodded obediently, reluctantly left Lin Mo, and walked towards Lin Xiqian.

Everyone sat together, drinking hot egg tea. Although no one spoke, the tacit understanding and harmony flowed silently.

But, hot stuff is hot stuff.

Lin Xuerui was clearly still confused by what he had just heard. He pressed on, "What did you say about Douzi just now? Why didn't I understand?"

Lin Wenru also took the opportunity to join the inquiries. He asked with concern, "Yeah, why has Douzi become so dull now? He doesn't even greet people when he sees them. This is not like his previous personality."

Hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly, as if he had been suddenly hit by an invisible cauldron. He secretly complained: I don't even know these people, how can I say hello to them? But at this moment, he could only smile. Smile.

Seeing that his second uncle's family's questioning was becoming more and more urgent, Lin Xueqin sighed and decided to tell the truth.

Lin Xueqian explained calmly, "Second Uncle, this is what happened. Elder Song said that Sanlang was injured by drinking strong liquor and now he can't remember anything from the past. He asked him to walk around more familiar places, maybe he can slowly remember."

At this point, Lin Xueqin's mind suddenly lit up, and he looked at Lin Mo with sudden realization. It turned out that his father asked him to bring Sanlang to his second uncle's house for this reason, to let Sanlang see more familiar people and things, and help Sanlang regain his lost memories.

At this moment, Lin Xueqin had a deeper understanding of his father's good intentions.

Lin Xueqian continued, "Originally, my second brother and his wife had planned to take Sanlang out more often, visit relatives and friends, and expose him to more people and things, so as to help him recover his memory as soon as possible. However, the crops in the fields must grow quickly, and when the busy farming season arrived, everyone was extremely busy, so we never got to take Sanlang out for a walk."

Hearing this, Lin Wenru looked deeply at Lin Mo, his eyes filled with complex emotions, as if he was thinking about something important, "Don't you remember what happened before?"

Lin Sixuan listened to his father's narration, his doubts dispelled as if by a gust of wind, his mind suddenly cleared up. But then, new questions crept into his mind. However, knowing it was inappropriate to ask more questions at this moment, he suppressed his curiosity and secretly buried this doubt in his heart.

Amnesia? Lin Siyuan was completely shocked by this news.

He recalled his brother's cold attitude towards him when he returned home. He originally thought that his brother was angry with him, but he did not expect that his brother would encounter such a major change. He was secretly happy for his brother's understanding, and his brother had grown up.

A wave of self-blame washed over him: as an older brother, he was completely clueless about his brother's affairs, truly incompetent. He secretly vowed to find the culprit who had led his brother astray and give him a good beating.

In Lin Siyuan's mind, he had already imagined that he would teach that person a lesson.

After hearing Lin Xueqian's explanation, Han Xiufang's eyes reddened slightly. She looked at Lin Mo distressedly and said softly, "Douzi, he has suffered a great hardship. He is so young, how could he encounter such a thing? What will he do in the future?"

Seeing this, Lin Xueqian quickly comforted her, "Second Aunt, you don't have to worry too much. Elder Song has carefully examined Sanlang and he's fine. As long as he takes good care of himself, it won't affect his future life and growth. We will take good care of him together and help him recover as soon as possible."

After hearing Lin Xueqian's words, Han Xiufang's worries were slightly reduced. She nodded: "That's good, that's good."

After listening to Lin Xueqian's explanation, Li Ling, Hua Juan, and Lin Xiqian tacitly chose to remain silent. They continued to carefully feed the children tea, as if the previous conversation had not stirred any waves in their hearts.

After all, these things have little to do with them directly, and the elders in the family have not yet expressed their opinions, so they naturally don't want to say much, so they all choose to respond with an attitude of ignorance.

Lin Mo, on the other hand, was keenly aware of Lin Wenru's probing gaze fixed on him. He tried to maintain an air of innocence, his mind racing like a drum as he recalled every detail of his arrival today, fearing he might accidentally reveal any flaws.

Lin Wenru frowned, obviously shocked and worried about Lin Mo's experience.

He asked in a deep voice, "Douzi has always been a sensible child, why would he drink that strong liquor?" After saying that, his eyes became sharper, as if he wanted to penetrate Lin Mo's disguise and look directly into the real world in his heart.

"Yeah," Lin Xuerui took over, his tone also filled with doubt and uneasiness, "Douzi is usually so well-behaved, someone must have taken Douzi there."

After pondering for a moment, Lin Xueqian gave a relatively reasonable explanation:

"On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the Li family held a wedding, and everyone was busy helping out or attending the banquet, so not many people stayed at home. Sanlang was young, and out of curiosity, he might have taken this opportunity to accidentally taste the wine. It was indeed an accident, and it was our negligence."
