Chapter 193: A Family Stays Overnight at Jiezhu
"Dad, since the shopkeeper said so, we should just accept his kindness!"
Lin Xi looked at his father and said with a smile.
Lin Dayong nodded, and suddenly remembered the meat jerky deal his daughter had just made with the shopkeeper. He asked in confusion, "Xi'er, our meat jerky is not enough for the army, why did you agree to supply it to Fulin Restaurant?"
"Dad, yesterday I heard from the team members that their mother's family members came to borrow money. Some of them came more than once. The villagers just made a little money and have to take care of their own family. How can they afford to lend money?"
After hearing Lin Xi's words, Lin Dayong was even more puzzled. He scratched his head and asked, "What does this have to do with supplying dried meat to Fulin Restaurant?"
"Dad, nowadays, no matter how poor a family is, every household raises pigs and chickens. We can ask the sisters-in-law and aunts in the village to teach their parents how to make dried meat, and let them make dried meat with pork and chicken to make money. We can also connect them with the owner of Fulin Restaurant. They will have a way to make money, so they don't have to beg and borrow money, and the villagers don't have to be embarrassed. Both sides can live a peaceful life, and the sisters-in-law and aunts' status in their parents' families will also be higher. How great!"
After a pause, Lin Xi continued, "Also, if the army doesn't need us to supply dried meat and pills one day, we can continue to cooperate with Fulin Restaurant!"
"Xi'er, you have a good brain and are very thoughtful!"
Lin Dayong looked at Lin Xi and said admiringly.
"Dad, let's talk to the villagers about this matter after the banquet tomorrow. We won't have to worry about it tomorrow because there will be people from Fulin Restaurant to help us. Let's call mom and go to Jiezhu to eat first!"
After Lin Xi finished speaking, he closed the courtyard door and took Lin Dayong and Cao into Jiezhu.
"Dad, Mom, eat the grapes quickly, they are delicious!"
When Xiao An'er saw Lin Xi and Lin Dayong and his wife coming in, he quickly handed a plate of grapes to his parents and urged them to eat quickly. "It's really grapes! Xi'er, where did you get this rare thing?"
Cao said in surprise as she looked at the grapes on the plate.
"At first, the Regent gave it to my sister, and then my sister asked Xiaobai..."
Lin Ping came over and told the whole story of how he got the grapes from beginning to end.
At this time, Lin Dayong had already eaten half a bunch of grapes. He picked a grape and stuffed it into Cao's mouth, saying with a smile: "Fang Ruo, this must be something good that my daughter brought. Don't just talk, eat it quickly, it's sour and sweet and really delicious!"
Seeing his greedy look, Cao shook her head helplessly and picked up a bunch of grapes to eat.
"Dad, Mom, here are grilled fish and grilled meat, try some!"
The grapes were not finished yet, and Lin Kang brought a plate of grilled fish and meat skewers and placed it in front of Lin Dayong and his wife.
"Dad, Mom, here are the peaches my sister planted, you can eat them!"
Lin Ping placed a plate of big, red peaches in front of the two of them.
Seeing the children bringing all the delicious food to them, Lin Dayong and Cao looked at each other, smiled widely, and felt very satisfied!
While eating, they looked around the pavilion and soon found a house not far away.
"Xi'er, when was that house built? Was it for us to live in?"
Cao swallowed the fish in her mouth, pointed at the beautiful house, and asked with a smile.
"Mom, I drew the blueprints a while ago and asked Xiaobai and Xiaohong to build it. We will live there starting tonight. The spiritual energy in this world bead is rich, and staying here is good for your health!"
Lin Xi handed the skewers in his hand to Cao and replied with a smile.
When Cao heard Lin Xi say that the house was built by Xiaobai and Xiaohong, she praised the two little ones again and again. The two happy little ones ran to catch a fish and brought back fish soup for everyone.
The family chatted and laughed while having dinner, and Lin Xi took them for a tour of the peach orchard and vineyard.
Cao liked this orchard very much. She said that when she had nothing to do on weekdays, she would ask Lin Xi to bring her in. She could pick fruits in the orchard, and then go to the pavilion to eat the fruits while enjoying the scenery. When she had rested enough, she would do needlework here.
After visiting the orchard, everyone took a look around the house, left Jiezhu, and went back to the house to get some clothes, bedding, and toiletries. The family then returned to Jiezhu, made their beds, and fell asleep sweetly in their respective rooms.
