Chapter 247: Mr. Lin showing off his good granddaughter

Father Lin's eyes were fixed on the scene before him, and he was thinking secretly in his heart.

He glanced over cautiously and found that his wife and son had already left quietly.

At this time, Father Lin couldn't help but feel a little flustered, but he still pretended to be calm and secretly glanced in the direction of his father.

On the other side, Mr. Lin was concentrating on what was happening in front of him, and suddenly noticed the pleading look from his son.

He was slightly startled and looked in the direction his son was looking, only to see that his son looked nervous and uneasy.

Mr. Lin frowned slightly and pondered silently in his heart.

After a long while, Mr. Lin finally figured out the current situation.

He knew very well that if he and his son could not explain the contents of the sack today, the surrounding neighbors would be like those smelly rat droppings and would definitely hold on to this matter.

They might even write a letter of denunciation without hesitation, denouncing their family. If that happens, the consequences will be disastrous!

After careful consideration, Mr. Lin finally made up his mind.

He decided not to hide it anymore and told everyone directly that the sack contained only some ordinary mountain products.

Anyway, the really valuable bacon, smoked meat, as well as those fat pheasants, rabbits, etc., were all placed by the eldest son in another full sack.

Thinking of this, Mr. Lin felt a little more at ease and prepared to face the various doubts and questions that might come next.

He thought to himself that most of the stuff in this half sack was just ordinary dried vegetables, mushrooms and wild fruits.

In that case, it would be better to open it so that people around can see it clearly.

At the same time, I can take this opportunity to show off my well-behaved and sensible granddaughter to everyone!

After realizing this, Mr. Lin untied the rope tied to the mouth of the sack without hesitation.

As the bag opened, a faint scent of the mountains immediately wafted out.

The crowd gathered around and looked around curiously, while Mr. Lin began to introduce them to them with a proud look on his face:

"Hey, you old guys, you've always wanted to know what's in my sack!

To be honest, most of the stuff in these two large sacks is local specialties that my precious granddaughter sent us from the countryside!"

Old Master Lin first flirted and showed off to a few of his closest old friends, and then he turned his gaze to the others who were standing on the periphery, craning their necks to try to see what was going on inside.

He explained slowly and at the same time continued to show off:

"Oh my, today our family was planning to send some New Year's goods to my beloved granddaughter.

Who would have thought that just as we arrived at the post office, the staff there came up to us and told us that our granddaughter had sent us a huge package in advance!

After finishing such a long speech, Mr. Lin took a breath, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all, and then continued:

"When we saw the enormous package, we were all wondering what kind of treasures were inside it.

Out of curiosity, we took it apart right there in the car! And guess what?

There happened to be two large sacks in the car, which was a great coincidence, they could be used to carry things.

So we immediately put everything in the package into the sack. When we opened the package and took a closer look, we saw that it was full of wild vegetables, fruits, mushrooms and other common local vegetables in their village, and they were all dried in the sun.

This is good, it's convenient for storage, right? I guess my well-behaved and sensible granddaughter is thinking that it's not easy for us city people to eat these good things on a daily basis, so she specially sent them to us!

Not only that, she also skillfully made all kinds of sauces for us, such as mushroom sauce, pickles, jam, etc.

When those who were closer to Grandpa Lin heard this, they could no longer suppress their curiosity. They stretched their necks and looked towards the sack that Grandpa Lin had opened.

As expected, the sack was filled with all kinds of vegetables, dried fruits, and bottles and jars of all sizes. It went without saying that these must be the delicious dishes like mushroom sauce that Grandpa Lin had just mentioned!

Seeing that he had achieved the desired effect, Mr. Lin's smile became even brighter.

He swiftly reached into the bulging sack beside him and took out several handfuls of golden, crispy, fragrant hazelnuts and other dried fruits.

Then, with a smile on his face, he handed these delicious snacks to several old men who were closest to him and with whom he had a good relationship.

As he handed it over, Mr. Lin kept muttering:

"Humph! If it weren't for the close friendship between you old fellows and me, I wouldn't be willing to share the care and concern sent by my precious granddaughter with you!

Come on, try it! We tasted it just now while we were in the car. It’s so fragrant and delicious!

As he spoke, he did not forget to smack his lips a few times, as if he was still savoring the wonderful taste he had tasted before.

Then, Mr. Lin continued to narrate with great interest:

"My granddaughter told us in a letter that in the countryside over there, after the autumn harvest, people are allowed to go up the mountain to pick mountain products as a special activity!

So, she happily followed the people she knew to go up the mountain, and ended up gaining a lot!

Look, she sent us so many mountain products, so we can taste her cooking skills."

When they heard the people around them showing off proudly and holding real roasted dried fruits in their hands, those guys who had evil intentions and were secretly planning bad ideas immediately stopped and gave up the idea.

After all, as Mr. Lin just said, in some areas of the countryside, after the autumn harvest, villagers are indeed allowed to go up the mountain to pick mountain products.

If they were just some ordinary mountain products, then these two sacks would not be considered a violation of the rules at all.

After figuring out all these situations, those who had originally hoped to find something to hold against the Lin family couldn't help but feel bored.

I thought I had found a perfect opportunity to create some trouble for the Lin family, but I didn't expect it to be a false alarm in the end.

What was even more infuriating was that Mr. Lin was grinning from ear to ear. He stood there, holding a handful of hazelnuts, and began to praise his well-behaved and clever granddaughter incessantly.

Seeing that the potential crisis was easily resolved by his father, Lin's father hurried to seize the opportunity.

He quickly picked up the heavy sack in his hand, and ran towards his home as fast as the wind, as if he was afraid that he would miss the opportunity if he was a step late.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Father Lin pretended to be nonchalant and said loudly to everyone:

"Dad, just stay here and have a good chat with everyone! Remember to pick up the kid and his grandmother later.

Hey, I have to go back and help my wife with the cooking. My child's grandmother and the others are coming over to get some local produce, so I have to run upstairs to get ready.

After saying these words, Father Lin walked quickly towards the stairs.

After hearing what his father said, Mr. Lin immediately understood what he meant and quickly echoed his son's words:

"Okay, no problem! Then you can also pick up the bag I'm carrying.

Today, let's use the mountain products sent back by my lovely granddaughter to show off our cooking skills and make some delicious dishes. This way, her grandmother and the others can also taste Xiaotian's full care.

Haha, I'll just continue chatting with everyone here."

As he spoke, Mr. Lin's face was filled with a happy smile, and he handed the bag in his hand to Mr. Lin who was walking upstairs.

Those who heard the conversation between the father and son looked at each other, then consciously stepped aside, leaving a wide path in the middle.

One of the important reasons why they gave way so consciously was that “one should be lenient when receiving favors from others and grateful when receiving favors from others”.

Just a short while ago, these people happily accepted the delicious mountain products handed over by the Lin family father and son, and feasted on them. Since they had already enjoyed the gift from others, it was naturally embarrassing to stop them from going home to cook.

In addition, there is another reason.

After all, the Lin family has a certain status and prestige here, and everyone knows that they have the right to act freely.

Moreover, at this moment, Mr. Lin showed the contents of the sack to everyone without any concealment, without any intention of hiding anything.

Faced with such a frank attitude, everyone felt that there was really no need to offend the Lin family just because of a little gossip.

Thus, this passage was formed naturally so that Father Lin could smoothly get the half bag of mountain products left with Grandpa Lin.
