Chapter Thirty-Three A Basket of Eggs

  ♂?,,

  Because they still had to hurry back to collect their luggage, they couldn't stay for long. After giving all the gifts and saying what needed to be said, Li Ming allowed Wen Shan to pass a message to Lin Lan's side, preparing to take his leave.

  Lin Lan didn't see Bao Zhu, and quietly asked Jin Dajie, "This stinky kid really doesn't understand things, he ran away early in the morning without a word, and didn't even come to send us off."

  Lin Lan smiled and estimated that Bao Zhu was hiding in a corner to sulk.

  Sister is leaving, as her brother, I have to remind her a few things.

  Lin Feng pulled Lin Lan to one side, his expression was extremely reluctant: "Sister, I think Li Xiucai is a good person, but I don't know what his family in the capital is like. Once you're in the capital, you can't be willful anymore, you must be more tolerant of things, respect your parents-in-law, get along with your sisters-in-law, and write to me often."

  Lin Lan nodded slightly. She would definitely be filial to her parents-in-law, but as for getting along with her sisters-in-law, it depended on what kind of people they were.

  "Sister, after your sister-in-law gives birth, I'll think of a way to go to the capital. Being alone in the capital, I won't be at ease." Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind.

  Lin Lan's eyes lit up with delight: "That's great! Brother has excellent martial arts skills, and it's indeed a waste to be in such a small place."

  It's not brother's fault, it's all because of her father's vague impression, he said he would go to the army and never came back, mother was afraid, refused to let brother follow his father's footsteps, just wanted the whole family to be together and live a peaceful life, so she arranged brother's marriage early.

  Lin Feng smiled thickly and scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed: "What's so great about this?"

  ”

  "As long as I can make a living and feed my family, that's all that matters." Lin Feng had no great ambitions, he just wanted to be able to provide for his family.

  With this appointment, the sorrow of parting was greatly alleviated. Anyway, it won't be long before the siblings can meet again.

  The villagers again enthusiastically sent them to the village entrance, and the horse cart went far away. Lin Lan could still hear words like "Lin Lan take care" and felt a slight moistening of her eyes.

  "It seems to be very popular."

  His smile was warm and elegant, without any hint of irony.

  Lin Lan was never the kind of person who liked to be sentimental, so she collected her emotions and said with a slightly sour tone: "It's rare for me to see the village chief being this polite to anyone."

  Li Mingyun smiled faintly: "That's because I promised them some benefits."

  Lin Lan knew what Li Mingyu meant by "good" but was a bit worried: "Doing so, the Zhang family might not be happy." As far as she knew, the Ye and Zhang families had been tacitly guarding their respective territories for years, without encroaching on each other's turf. The silkworm cocoons in Xigou Village were the best quality in Feng'an County, and had always been purchased at a low price by the Zhang family. The village head had thought about changing buyers before, but was rejected by the Ye family. This time, Li Mingyu actually brought it up, breaking the balance of power, and Lin Lan feared that Feng'an County would be thrown into chaos.

  Li Mingyun sneered: "What is the Zhang family? My grandfather only did it because he was in a bad mood a few years ago and didn't want to argue with him."

  Lin Lan picked up some unusual information: "So, does that mean Grandfather is going to regain his former glory now?"

  It's almost there!

  "It turned out to be a win-win situation, benefiting both others and oneself." Lin Lan understood. Signing with Xi Village was the first move for the Ye family to expand their business.

  The horse carriage suddenly stopped and came to a halt.

  Li Ming allowed his eyebrows to relax slightly and asked: "Wen Shan, what's going on?"

  Outside the carriage, Wen Shan replied: "Someone is blocking the horse carriage."

  Li Mingyu lifted the curtain of the carriage, Lin Lan also poked her head out to take a look, and couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. The person standing in the middle of the road blocking the horse carriage was none other than Jin Baozhu.

  "Go and see!" Li Mingyun said lightly.

  Lin Lan got off the horse carriage and walked towards Jin Baozhu.

  Bao Zhu saw Lin Lan coming down and stood in place with a silly smile, but the desolation and reluctance in his eyes exposed his current mood.

  Lin Lan deliberately avoided Baozhu's gaze and smiled brightly: "Brother Baozhu, what brings you here?"

  "I... I came to see you off." Bao Zhu smiled with his mouth open, and pushed the basket in his hand forward.

  "I don't have anything good, I'll just bring this basket of eggs to eat on the road."

  Lin Lan stared at the basket full of eggs, remembering how Bao Zhu always waited for her halfway and kindly gave her duck eggs to eat. Her heart felt like it was blocked by something, feeling very uncomfortable.

  Lin Lan didn't take it, so Bao Zhu's hand awkwardly stopped there, stuttering to explain: "I know you don't like eating duck eggs, so... I specially raised a few chickens..."

  Lin Lan hurried forward and took over the eggs, smiling hard: "I like eggs."

  Bao Zhu smiled as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders and scratched his head: "......as long as you like it."

  "Miss, it's time to go..." Yin Liu came to urge Lin Lan on Master Zhen's orders.

  Lin Lan turned back and replied: "Got it."

  "Ba Zhu Ge, I'm leaving now, take care of yourself and be good to your mother."

  "Got it, also want to take care of yourself, if...if..." Baozhu looked at the horse cart and hesitated.

  "What if?"

  "Nothing... nothing, Lin Lan, hurry up and get on the bus! I, I'm also going back." Bao Zhu muttered to himself. He had originally wanted to say that if Li Xiucai bullied her, he would definitely help her out, but thinking about it again, he felt it wasn't appropriate - what qualifications did he have to say such a thing?

  "Oh! Am I leaving?"

  Baozhu nodded with a smile, watching Linlan get on the horse carriage, seeing off the carriage as it went far away. Baozhu's smile gradually faded, his eyes becoming firm and resolute, silently saying: Linlan, wait for me to save up enough money, then I'll go to Beijing to find you.

  Lin Lan sat in the carriage, staring at a basket of eggs, the heavy eggs were like Bo Zhu's heavy heart. Although she didn't like Bo Zhu, she would remember his kindness to her.

  Will never forget, there was a silly big boy, always followed her, when she was happy, accompanied her to laugh, when she was unhappy, coaxed her to laugh...

  Li Mingyun also stared at the basket of eggs, but didn't say a word.

  The two of them walked back to Ye's house in silence.

  Yu Rong has already started packing her luggage. Lin Lan looked at the house where several trunks were placed horizontally and vertically, and couldn't help but be amazed - did she have so many things?

  Madam Yu pointed at the trunk placed inside and said: "The second madam has sent someone to deliver Miss's new clothes."

  Lin Lan was overjoyed and jumped up: "So soon? Let me see, let me see."

  She busied herself opening the trunk and taking out the new clothes one by one to try on, asking Yinliu and Yurong: "How is it? Does it look good?"

  "Of course it looks good, you look good in anything."

  A very official response.

  With a subtle smile, she pointed at a box on the table and said: "Hu's pharmacy also sent something over."

  Lin Lan's first reaction was: Is it Master sending her some kind of ancient medical book? Isn't that how they always write and act in TV shows? When a disciple is about to embark on a long journey, the master takes out a shocking and extraordinary secret recipe...

  Lin Lan excitedly opened the box again, but as soon as she did, her face changed drastically. She hastily slammed the lid shut and turned to ask Yu Rong with a tense expression: "Has this box been opened before?"

  Jade face shook her head.

  Lin Lan secretly let out a sigh of relief, fortunately! She scolded in her heart: Which wicked ghost came up with this stupid idea?

  Lin Lan hurriedly carried the box into the inner room.

  Yinliu and Yurong looked at Linlan's sneaky appearance, and couldn't help but exchange a glance. What was inside that box? It had scared the girl so much that her face had changed color.
