Chapter 146 1 The excitement continues
Lin Dadan was looking after the horse farm, and the farm was too big to be easy to walk around in the winter. Besides, everyone was thinking about playing mahjong, so Lin Jiaojiao took everyone back to the house.
Father Lin and Lin Yiyan went to rest in the house when they went out. In order to avoid disturbing them, she took everyone to the mahjong entertainment room to play.
The windows were half-open for ventilation, and three-pronged candle lamps were hung on all four walls. After they were lit, the room immediately became much brighter. There was also a charcoal brazier under the table for warming feet.
Zhao Yang brought in tea, fruit and melon seeds and set them out, while Lin Jiaojiao sat next to Fu's mother, eating melon seeds and acting as her military advisor.
"Aunt trusted me, so she made this one."
Fu's mother was a little confused, but she still listened to her and played this card.
Liu Ying smiled as soon as she saw it: "Bang, thank you, Mr. Fu."
"..."
She hurriedly comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. The cards will come soon. Let's just do a self-draw and make a comeback."
Of course, Fu's mother didn't win any of these games. When Lin Jiaojiao came on the court, Fu's mother was behind her giving orders. Although she didn't want to play this card, she had to listen to her orders to give face to Fu's mother.
As a result, she won by accident, and Fu's mother suddenly became confident. She thought she shouldn't have listened to her before, otherwise she would have won long ago.
After playing until dinner time, Lin Dadan also came back with the children. They had dinner earlier than usual, mainly because they were afraid that if they ate too late, it would be too late for Fu's mother Liu Ying and the others to get home.
Originally, they hadn't planned to leave after having dinner, but time flew by playing mahjong, so they had to stay and have dinner together before leaving.
After dinner, Lin Jiaojiao's family sent them to the gate. Liu Xiuxiu got on the carriage and leaned against the window, saying to Lin Jiaojiao that she would come to visit again next time.
She smiled and nodded in agreement, saying that she was welcome to come and play anytime.
After the two carriages left, Lin Dadan and the others rushed to the mahjong table. It was finally their turn.
Lin Jiaojiao said hello to her family, and before it got completely dark, she took her things and headed towards the bamboo forest.
She did not invite Lin Shu and her family to the housewarming party today. She wanted to invite Lin Yun, but she was not there. She had gone to the academy in Qingzhou to take the examination for the title of scholar.
If she could pass the exam, she would be able to take part in the provincial examination held every three years in the autumn next year.
She came to the grave and looked at the small mound covered with snow. There was no tombstone, only a stone tablet made of stones.
"Lin Shen, I'm sorry I haven't come to see you for so long. I went to the extra-chapter this time and experienced a lot of things, but the ending is good. I brought some things for you, but I don't know if you like them..."
As she spoke, she swept the snow in front of the grave, put the pearl shells she had brought into a box and buried it in front of the stone tablet. Then she took out some oranges from the bamboo basket and placed them in front of the tablet, and took out paper money and lit it with a tinderbox.
She squatted in front of the grave and burned the paper money bit by bit, but in her heart she told the story of her experiences in the past three months. After the paper money was burned out, she lit three incense sticks.
"Lin Shen, you should know that I am going to be a mother. I am very happy and look forward to the arrival of children. If there is a next life, you will definitely be reborn into a family that loves you and is happy. You will definitely..."
She stood in front of the grave for a while, until it was completely dark, then she stood up, picked up the bamboo basket, put it on her back, and walked towards home.
She looked at the house in front of her with two big red lanterns hanging at the door, her heart gradually calmed down, and she adjusted her mentality and walked towards the door.
When she returned to the yard, she took a bath first, and her whole body was relaxed in the bathtub.
Lin Yiyan saw that she had stayed in the room for a long time and did not come out. He knew that she had gone to Lin Shen's grave, so he pushed the door open and saw her leaning against the bathtub with her eyes closed.
He came forward and gave her a massage. She was already drowsy and didn't want to move so she just continued to enjoy the comfortable treatment.
"Jiaojiao, the water is cold, get up."
She rubbed her face against his hand to show that she didn't want to get up. Seeing her childish appearance, he leaned over and whispered in her ear, "How about I ask the boy to add another bucket of hot water?"
She opened her eyes. Although she wanted to continue soaking, her skin became wrinkled after soaking for too long.
"No need, big brother, I'm up now. Go sit inside so your clothes don't get wet."
"Okay, Jiaojiao, hurry up, don't catch a cold."
After he said that, he left the compartment but did not sit down. Instead, he picked up the handkerchief on the stool and waited for her to come out.
She got up from the bathtub, quickly wiped herself clean with a towel, changed her clothes and came out. Then Lin Yiyan took a handkerchief and wiped her hair.
"Brother, is it uncomfortable to be pregnant?"
"It's okay. I just had nausea a month ago. I'm better now. I'm just a little sleepy lately."
She stretched out her hand and pulled him to her, looking at him tenderly with her eyes: "Thank you for your hard work, brother. Do you feel cold when you sleep at night? Do you want to sleep in the heated room? It's warm there."
Lin Yiyan shook his head and continued to wipe her hair with a handkerchief, saying softly, "It's not hard. Xiaobao is very obedient and doesn't make any noise. She won't feel cold when she sleeps. Xiaotong warmed the quilt with a hot water bottle."
"Our little treasure is quiet and gentle. When he grows up, he will look more like you. He will definitely charm thousands of boys and girls."
"When the time comes, I will build a playground for them so they can play happily. When they grow up, we can go out to sea as a family..."
He listened to her mumbling quietly with a smile on his face, but he hoped that time would go slower, as the days he spent with her were never enough.
After wiping his hair almost completely, Lin Jiaojiao took him to the mahjong entertainment room to chat with everyone. After all, everyone in the yard was here now, some playing mahjong by the fire, some sitting around the fire drinking tea and chatting. Even Xiaobai came in and lay under the table to warm himself by the fire.
The two children had been riding horses for an entire afternoon and were already exhausted, so they fell asleep in their mothers' arms.
Lin Dadan held Lin Fei and sat behind Zhou Xiaofeng. "Xiaofeng, play this card. The boss said this card in the formula."
"It's not like I don't know. Stop talking. You're disrupting my thoughts..."
Zhang Tong was also sitting behind Lian Yun, holding Zhang Lianyu. She didn't dare to say anything careless. On the way back to the dormitory last night, he inexplicably stopped talking to her. Finally, when she saw that he was about to enter the men's dormitory, she pulled him back and found out the reason. She coaxed him for a long time before he calmed down.
After three rounds of fighting, Lin Yizhi got the lowest score and left the table with regret. He came and sat next to Lin Jiaojiao, feeling a little unhappy.
"Wife, I'm so stupid..."
She smiled and poured him a cup of wolfberry and red date tea and comforted him, "You're not stupid. This also depends on luck. Maybe your luck is bad tonight, but it will be better tomorrow."
He took the tea and said with relief: "That's right, but the house hasn't been so lively for a long time."
"Don't worry, it will always be lively."
They looked at the bright room, where people were talking and laughing, and the sound of mahjong cards being shuffled was everywhere. Everything was so harmonious and beautiful.
