Chapter 3 The Road Ahead
Clear Water Lake, a large lake that runs through the coiled QS county.
Numerous villages and towns have been established along the lake, and Linjiawan is one of them.
Slowly driving through the winding mountain road, the car finally drove into this small mountain village.
There are only about ten households in the entire Lin Jiawan, so everyone is very familiar with the fact that the Lin Wolf family is deep in the village.
Whenever passing by a house, there are often one or two elderly people sitting in front of the door, and then the wolf will roll down the window to greet the old people, and when he comes across a smoker, he will hand one to him.
The old people in the village are very praising the junior of the wolf wolf, who has made a lot of money in recent years, and has not forgotten his roots at all, and the street lamps, cement floors, and basketball courts in the village are all built by the wolf wolf.
Lin Wolf's parents left early, the family was poor when he was a child, and he raised five children, Lin Wolf was the second oldest in the family, with an eldest brother above and three younger sisters below.
Many times the family is so poor that they don't even have anything to eat, so Lin Nan's grandparents are in poor health, and the five children are very competitive, and their academic performance is very good since they were young, but the family doesn't have so much money to let the children continue to study, but the children are very sensible, and they have never blamed their parents, and Lin Wolf and his eldest brother went out to work and make money as soon as they graduated from junior high school.
More than ten years have passed, and Timberwolf and eldest brother have both had their own businesses outside, and the three younger sisters have also started their own families.
However, Lin Nan's grandparents passed away one after another a few years ago.
For this reason, the wolf would hate himself from time to time, and even dream of them on special days, why did his success come so late? Why couldn't he let his parents start to enjoy happiness a few years earlier? Parents worked hard in the countryside all their lives, but they could not wait for the moment when their children would fulfill their filial piety.
Parking Santara in front of her yard, the family of three got out of the car and walked to the gate.
The red tile roof and tile walls, which were all renovated at the expense of the wolf and the eldest brother, are more than ten meters tall and thick trees in front of the door that no one can hold, symbolizing his long age and witnessing the bits and pieces of this family.
Timber Wolf took out the key, opened the simple security door, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw layers of cobwebs on the ceiling, and the tables and chairs were covered with a thick layer of dust.
No one has lived for a long time, and the wolf has the idea of a big cleaning, but not today, because the New Year will be more than a month away, and there will definitely be a big cleaning before that, and then the brothers and sisters will gather here from all over the world to spend the Spring Festival together.
Since Grandma Lin Nan left with her grandfather, it was requested by Lin Wolf and the eldest brother to go back to her hometown every year for the New Year, sooner or later, several younger sisters would rush back around the first day of the New Year, and the two families of Lin Wolf and the eldest brother had Chinese New Year's Eve dinner here in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
The old man has both passed away, and it is rare for the remaining brothers and sisters to be so united and cordial.
Lin Wolf and Ye Xinlan did a simple cleaning of the kitchen and dining table, then took the food they brought from the car and began to prepare lunch.
Lin Nan can also do a little favor, run to the rice field and bring a few bundles of hay tied to the wood to make firewood, and light a fire under the stove.
This is also rare among the pampered post-90s, but Lin Nan is still very positive about this task, he likes to play with fire since he was a child, and he can still warm his hands on such a cold day, why not do it?
Of course, making a fire is also a technical job.
When Lin Nan was a child, every time he lit a fire on the stove, he kept adding firewood to it, and the bigger the fire, the more fun he became.
The naughty Lin Nan did not give up, but took the initiative to admit his mistakes to his aunts, and then stood aside to learn the skills of life, what dishes to fry and how much heat to control at what time, he remembered it clearly, and it didn't take long for Lin Nan to become an excellent master of fire control.
The dishes that are being burned are three fresh, eggplant, beans and green peppers, which are the favorite of the wolf and need to be simmered over high fire, so Lin Nan has been constantly adding firewood.
The next dish is radish roast pork, which is also the favorite of the wolf in the woods, Ye Xinlan went to the backyard to pull the white radish, home-grown, natural and original, fragrant and tender. It also needs to be simmered in the pot for a while, the more it simmers, the more fragrant it is.
Then there is the dry stir-fried shredded potatoes, which is Lin Nan's favorite dish, potatoes, shredded ginger, shallots, dried chili peppers, pepper powder, refined salt, monosodium glutamate...... In his previous life, the Timber Wolf had done it a lot, and he was very familiar with its process.
The last is to boil pot porridge, first of all, put the rice into the pot to boil, until the rice boils and blooms, after the rice blooms, the wolf quickly scoops it up and puts it into the basket, under the basket is a ceramic basin, the thick rice soup flows into it, and the rice soup is the best material for making pot porridge.
Rice stew is a technical job. The wolf put the cooked rice into the pot, used chopsticks to draw it into a hill, poked many holes, scooped half a bowl of water, poured it evenly into the rice, covered the pot, and then boiled the rice.
This fire, not too big, not too big, is easy to burn the rice, the pot is black and mushy, and it is not delicious; the fire is too small to burn the pot, and the pot rice cannot be cooked. In the past, whenever it came to stewing, the aunts always took the fire fork in Lin Nan's hand and lit the fire themselves.
However, Lin Nan, who had studied several times, finally mastered the skills proficiently.
Find a soft straw handle, stuff it into the stove, and blow it vigorously while it is hot, and the grass will burn brightly. Then, he turned some ash in the stove with a fire fork and covered it on the straw handle, and pressed the fire fork on the straw handle, and the fire was suppressed.
After a while, a burst of rice fragrance came to the nose, the wolf hurriedly put the rice, shoveled the rice into the basket, left a large funnel-shaped pot on the pot surface, gently shoveled up the pot, mashed, poured into the warm rice soup, and boiled it over high heat. When the rice soup is boiling, bring to a warm boil and simmer slowly.
At this time, the family of three went to the dinner table to eat vegetables first, and the three of them ate with relish.
After more than half an hour's work, a pot of fragrant and smooth pot porridge is good. Before the lid was lifted, a strong fragrance lingered in the kitchen and wafted to the dining table in the living room.
The three of them all served several bowls one after another, Lin Nan and Ye Xinlan had smaller stomachs and could only fit two and a half bowls, while Lin Wolf ate five bowls alone.
He misses the taste of his hometown very much, and he hasn't eaten such pure pot porridge for about twenty or thirty years.
These native local dishes are the main magic weapon and signature dishes of the forest wolf to open a restaurant in the county, but the pot porridge made of the electric stove is always worse than the earth stove, but it is that kind of people in the county town who forget to return, so that the business of the forest wolf's restaurant is booming.
After the family of three had eaten and drunk enough, they came to the side of a tributary of Qingshui Lake that flows through Linjiawan, under a familiar tree, and rested on the grass.
Lin Wolf and Ye Xinlan leaned side by side, Lin Nan was playing in the water by the lake, the summer was long gone, and it was impossible for him to go down to swim.
The two adults were not worried about Lin Nan at all, because when he was very young, he was taken by the wolf to swim in Qingshui Lake, and the water was very good, but he would still glance at him from time to time, and his parents always cared about their children.
It was very comfortable to lean against the big tree and Ye Xinlan's forest wolf in the most natural posture, and at this moment the thoughts of last night in his mind changed.
Maybe by being reborn, he can go to the point where he was unattainable in his previous life in this life, relying on the countless business knowledge in his mind, his future is unimaginable, and at this time his hotel has already had several branches in the county, the profit is very considerable, and he has a lot of capital in his hands, and the age of his early thirties is also the peak of his career.
Thoughts, connections, age, principal...... Every aspect of the Timber Wolves has very good conditions.
However, the past life of the Timberwolf was not bad. With guilt for Lin Nan, Lin Wolf almost became an all-round teacher, he successfully brought out countless outstanding students and apprentices, and his status in society was not low.
At the same time, the wolf understands a truth very well, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. When a man's career starts from scratch, he is looking forward to this process and working hard; when his career is big or huge, he is excited and excited about this process; however, when his career is further improved and goes to the whole country or even the world, this process will be tight and the itinerary will be full.
Every day will be very full, and every trip will be arranged a week or even a month in advance. Don't look glamorous on the surface, sitting in a luxury car villa, with various halo titles on your body, often appearing on TV networks, and frequently appearing on various important occasions.
But behind the scenes, they may not be happy or free, and such a life may be the peak of a man's career, but it is not the peak of a family's happiness.
Gently hugged Ye Xinlan in his arms, watching Lin Nan frolicking by the lake, blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters. Nice and homely.
In this situation, the wolf had a hint of enlightenment.
This life.
He wants to be a good father again and make Lin Nan happy and excellent.
He wants to be a good husband again and make Xinlan feel happy and romantic.
He wants to continue to be a good teacher, so that more children can grow better!
......
About a nap time passed, Lin Nan was also tired of playing, it was really boring to play alone, he didn't know when he ran to the wolf next to his father and lay down.
If it was in the past, Lin Nan would definitely be close to his mother, but in the past half a day, Lin Nan felt that his father seemed to have become a little different, much better than in the past, and he was not serious at all.
The family of three stayed like this for another half an hour, and Lin Wolf suddenly thought of something, smiled slightly, stood up, patted the weeds on his body, and said with a smile to his wife and son: "Go, go home, go and see if the electrical appliances at home are good!"
On the way, Ye Xinlan said goodbye to the father and son, Lin Wolf asked her to see a few lonely old people in the village, generally this kind of ordinary day, the young and middle-aged people in the village have gone out to work or work, and those who are left behind are some old people, and the two elders in the family are okay, a companion, a person is really lonely, and the children are not used to living in the city, so they can only occasionally visit the village every day to chat, but more often they are still alone.
Therefore, every time the timber wolf came back, he would pay a visit, and he had a lot of respect for these old people who watched him grow up.
As soon as Lin Wolf and Lin Nan arrived home, they turned on the lights in each room, and instantly found that one of them was not lit, and one flashed and flashed.
Incarnated as a gold medal mentor, Lin Wolf began his teaching again: "Son, do you know why one of these two lights doesn't turn on and the other keeps flashing?"
