484. All follow along to make mooncakes
Lin Chaodong's refusal was a little loud, and his tone was a little stiff, this reaction was really a bit excessive, but it provoked Yue Jiujiu to look up at him.
Yo! I was so resistant to living in a human room! Could it be that he has awakened the soul of some master? Then why did you agree to Liu's being a nurse? I even think it's a very honorable job, aren't these two proper double-standard dogs?
Forget it, he'll stay for two or three days when he comes back, whatever he wants.
"Hmm."
Yue Jiujiu agreed, and then didn't raise his eyelids to look at him again.
Lin Chaodong picked up Da Zhuang with his left hand and Xiao Yan'er with his right hand, and strode out like a hot wheel, like a gust of wind.
Mrs. Zhou followed behind and went out, Liu took someone to the edge of Nanhu to wash clothes, and suddenly only Yue Jiujiu, who was still gnawing watermelon, was left alone in the house, and she didn't have any special reaction, but because there was no one else in the house, she didn't have to worry about anything, so she took a bite of watermelon and complained about something like "it's really unpalatable" and "too unpalatable".
Lin Chaobei was driving an ox cart to the town, and because there were not many things to buy, he came back before lunch.
The reason why he didn't grab the carriage with Lin Chaonan and didn't rush to the county seat was because Lin Chaonan went to the town to buy the shops and houses a while ago.
Those were personally selected by Lin Chaonan, so Lin Chaobei was even more curious, and he especially wanted to experience the feeling of being a shopkeeper, this time he had to go to the town, he had already asked Lin Chaonan about the location of the shop, and even when he came to the town this time, he also secretly compared those shops, thinking about which shop he should choose to make more money if Yue Jiujiu wanted him to see the shop.
After all, if he became the shopkeeper and the shop didn't make money, then Yue Jiujiu would definitely doubt his ability, and the eye for picking a shop was also a kind of ability.
On this trip, he took a good look at several spacious and bright shops, which were all shops of rich families in the town in the past, who escaped because of natural disasters, and then did not want to come back, so he instructed the housekeeper to come and sell the shops.
This is a small town, the price of the shop is not worth a few dollars, if you rent it out, it is not enough to run back and forth every year to collect rent, it is better to sell it cost-effective, more trouble-free.
After reading the shop, Lin Chaobei, who was not interested in the house at all, went to buy all the things he wanted to buy, and he was super excited to bargain with the seller until he bought all the things, and his excitement had not passed, and he couldn't help humming a song when he drove the ox cart home.
As for what he hummed, he didn't know it himself, he hadn't seen a singing opera, let alone heard a singing song, and he occasionally heard what words Huang Banxian sang when he was on the rise, he didn't understand it, let alone learned it, at this time, he couldn't express the joy in his heart, so he hummed casually.
As soon as he got home, before he could excitedly tell Yue Jiujiu what the shops he was looking at were all about, he saw Lin Chaodong sitting in the hall and giggling with Da Zhuang.
"Mother, big brother? How did you come back? ”
Lin Chaobei was very surprised, didn't he say that he wouldn't come back? Isn't it to stay there so that the Liu clan can't find others? Why did you come back all of a sudden and silently? It can't be that I heard about their mother, so I came back to ask for money to buy a house, right?
It's no wonder that Lin Chaobei thought of him like this as soon as he saw Lin Chaodong, it was Lin Chaodong's performance this year that made him have to think of him like this, Lin Chaodong is no longer the eldest brother who used to protect their brother with their mother, he is now just a man of their sister-in-law, and even the children of Xiao Yan'er and Da Zhuang have to lean back.
"Oh, the fourth is back! I just came back and wanted to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together. ”
Even he didn't believe this, let alone Lin Chaobei, who already suspected that he had other plans, the corners of his mouth and the rolling of his eyes almost made Yue Jiujiu laugh.
"Okay, it's not hot after going out all morning? Not thirsty? Come, hurry up and drink a bowl of water, this is all just brought up from the well, and it is just right to drink it coolly. ”
Yue Jiujiu scooped up a bowl of mint water and handed it to Lin Chaobei, who was still rolling his eyes and wanted to continue to say something.
Lin Chaobei immediately changed into a smile, happily took the bowl, and drank it cleanly.
"Mother, it's delicious! It's so sweet! It's cool! ”
Lin Chaodong: (╬ ̄ ̄)
Jealousy made him unrecognizable.
He hasn't been back for two or three months, and he finally came back, and he didn't see his mother feel so sorry for him, let alone give him a bowl of mint water that had just been brought out of the well to drink, and he didn't even have a bowl of cold water that was hot!
Sure enough, he is no longer his mother's eldest son, he no longer has any status in this family, even his younger brother can pout and roll his eyes at him, but he doesn't know what to do, his fists are so itchy, he really wants to hit his younger brother.
Also, I can only think about it.
In the past, the younger brother could fight casually.
Now, he still has to think about what the consequences will be if he beats his younger brother, and whether he can bear the consequences.
Who told him to ask for something?
"Go back and rush, change your clothes and hurry over to eat, just wait."
Yue Jiuyue was like a kind old mother, telling her old son earnestly.
"Well, I'll go!"
Lin Chaobei smiled, turned around and went out, the two of them completely ignored Lin Chaodong next to him, which made Lin Chaodong's heart even more sour!
In the past, he also had this kind of treatment, although the family conditions at that time were not as good as now, but he was the most painful child at that time, followed by the fourth, and finally the second and third.
And now, he has inexplicably become the person who is most unpopular with his family, but for various reasons, he can't do it as casually as before, and he feels so aggrieved.
Lin Chaodong's grievances, no one cares.
Even, if he weren't thick-skinned, no one would call him when he ate.
After lunch, Yue Jiujiu didn't even take a nap, so he followed the Liu family to make moon cakes.
The noodles are all steamed, and then lard and noodles are added, and the moon cake filling is the tune of Zhou Lao's family and Zhou Lao's second family, in addition to looking at the big and strong Mrs. Zhou, even Saturday Ya follows to make moon cakes together.
Add lard and the dough is oily, the stickiness of the dough is not large, but also knead it into the skin, then wrap it in the filling, and then pinch the mouth up, the action must be careful and serious, otherwise it will be scattered accidentally, and the moon cake will not be formed.
Of course, the dough that has been wrapped with fillings and sealed mouths has to be put into molds and pressed into various shapes, including peaches, blessings, fish, longevity, and flowers...... Wait a minute.
The high school entrance examination went well, and the title of the gold list!
