I'm not worried about traveling through a farmer's house. I made my fortune by farming.

Hearing Lin Yunchu's words, Xue Jingran curled his lips slightly, looking indifferent. Seeing that the restaurant was gradually getting better, he felt that there was no need for Lin Yunchu to sit here and watch over it all the time.

Moreover, they had to rush back to Qingxi Village, and it was already late. If they delayed any longer, it would be too late and difficult to travel.

He then stood up and sent Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting to the door. After watching the two of them go away in the ox cart, he turned around and went back to the inner room.

Lin Yunchu and Lin Changting rushed to the market and bought a lot of raw materials for hot pot base as they did last time, and also bought a lot of other ingredients.

Lin Yunchu had promised Lin Changan that he would make spicy hotpot for him tonight, and he had been thinking about it all the time.

The ingredients Lin Yunchu bought didn’t look like what their family would eat. If there were so many, the whole family wouldn’t be able to finish them.

Lin Changting helped Lin Yunchu put all the things she bought on the ox cart. He frowned slightly and said in confusion: "Yunchu, these ingredients are too much. Our family can't finish so much."

It would be a pity if the food was not finished and went bad. Lin Changting felt a little distressed when he saw this. It was not easy to earn this money.

Lin Yunchu put the last bag of tofu in his hand into the backpack, exhaled heavily, and after a moment's rest, he responded:

"Brother, I want to go back later and invite my uncle's family, Uncle Pan, and Grandma Lu to our house to try this hot pot together. It will be more lively when there are more people eating."

After hearing Lin Yunchu's words, Lin Changting was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Lin Yunchu would have such thoughts, but he agreed with this idea.

Since the beginning of winter, people have been visiting each other less frequently. I haven't seen my uncle's family for a long time. However, I visit my father-in-law's house every two days.

The main reason is that after Pan Xiuxiu got married, only Pan's father is left in the Pan family. If he doesn't go to check on them from time to time in such cold weather, he will feel uneasy.

Thinking of this, Lin Changting nodded and said, "Yes, your idea is good. Eating hot pot is the most lively thing in such a cold weather. We can all get together and chat."

After buying everything, the two hurried back to Qingxi Village.

Although everyone in the Lin family was in the house, they were also listening to the noises outside the yard. They saw that by the time Lin Yunchu and the others should have returned home, there was still no movement.

Everyone in the room was quietly roasting the fire, and no one spoke. The room was quiet except for the occasional "crackling" sound of sparks from the fire.

"It's already this late, why haven't the two children come back yet? Could something have happened?"

As Mother Lin spoke, she stood up and was about to go outside, feeling uneasy. "I'd better go outside and take a look. My heart is so upset that I can't put it to rest."

Father Lin quickly grabbed Mother Lin's hand and said, "Don't worry about it. Yipin Pavilion officially launched its hot pot today, and Yun Chu and the others have to be watching from the restaurant. They won't be able to come back as early as usual. Let's wait a little longer."

Father Lin said this calmly on the surface, but he was actually a little anxious in his heart. However, it was so windy and cold outside, so he couldn't let Mother Lin go out in the cold wind. What if she caught a cold?

"But........"

Mother Lin was still a little worried and wanted to argue a few more times.

"Why don't you go to the kitchen and make some ginger soup first. It will be ready for the two children to drink when they come back."

Father Lin thought for a long time and finally found a more legitimate excuse to give Mother Lin something to do so that she would not always have wild thoughts.

Mother Lin paused, looked back at Father Lin, and thought to herself that what Father Lin said was right. It was so cold out there, and when they came back they must drink a bowl of ginger soup to dispel the cold.

Seeing this, Pan Xiuxiu quickly stood up and said she would go to the kitchen with Lin's mother to make ginger soup.

Seeing this, Father Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his head and looked into the yard, wondering why the two people who went to the town were so late today and had not returned for so long.

Hopefully, nothing will really delay it.

Just as he was lost in thought, he heard a noise outside the yard. Lin Changan was the first to jump up and ran out of the house while shouting, "It's Sister, Sister and the others are back."

Lin's father and Lin Changshun also followed Lin Changan, wanting to see if the two people outside the door were really back.

Lin's mother and Pan Xiuxiu, who were in the kitchen, also followed him out of the house, looking outside anxiously.

As soon as Lin Changan opened the gate, he saw Lin Yunchu jumping off the ox cart.

"It's really my elder sister and elder brother who have returned, Dad, Mom..."

Lin Chang'an turned around and shouted loudly towards the yard, while running forward and reaching out to help take the things off the ox cart.

He was small and the backpack was too heavy, so he could only pick up some of the bags on the side. He picked up the things and ran to the yard. It was too cold that day, so he had to move all the things into the house quickly and let his sister and brother come in to warm up.

Everyone in the Lin family also followed to the outside of the yard at this time. Without bothering to ask any questions, they just helped to move the things on the ox cart into the house.

Then Lin's father asked the two of them to go into the house and warm themselves by the fire. He drove the ox cart to the backyard of the Lin family. After unloading the ox cart, he led the cow into the cowshed and fed it a handful of grass. Then he patted the dust off his hands and walked quickly to the front yard.

Lin Yunchu rubbed his frozen fingers and felt warm as he moved closer to the fire. Soon, his mother and sister-in-law Pan Xiuxiu brought him two bowls of ginger soup.

Just like the last time they came back from town, Lin Yunchu smiled and reached out to take the ginger soup from Lin's mother's hand.

Lin Changting took the ginger soup brought by Pan Xiuxiu and could only smile foolishly, feeling sweet in his heart. Pan Xiuxiu was so embarrassed that she looked up and saw that no one in the room seemed to be looking at them like this.

Then he glared at Lin Changting and urged him to drink the ginger soup quickly.

Lin Changting and Lin Yunchu came back a little later today than last time. It was much colder outside. Drinking a bowl of ginger soup helped them get rid of the cold and feel better.

After the two of them finished their bowls of ginger soup, Father Lin asked, "You came back a little later today than last time. What happened at Yipin Pavilion?"

This was the most important matter for the two of them to go to town today. If there was any situation, it could only be at Yipin Pavilion, so Father Lin asked directly.

Lin Yunchu had also calmed down a lot by this time. Seeing that everyone was looking at them with a hint of worry, he quickly responded:

"Today is the first day of launching the hot pot, so my brother and I stayed in the restaurant for a while. We came back after seeing that everything was fine. You don't have to worry."

After hearing what Lin Yunchu said, Lin's father and mother finally put their minds at ease.
