Chapter 85 Explanation
However, Lin Mo still looked at Lin Weiguo and Cheng Yuzhu.
After all, this is not my home and I can't do whatever I want.
Ling Xiaolei casually grabbed a handful of candies and stuffed them all into Lin Mo's arms.
"Brother Lin Mo, please eat. Auntie bought a lot. You can eat all of them." Ling Xiaolei said.
"Well... I call Luoluo sister, and you should call me uncle." Lin Mo licked his lips and scratched his head.
"Ah?" Ling Xiaolei didn't react for a moment. Such a young child, he thought was his uncle and aunt's child, but he didn't expect that the child was a whole generation older than him!
Ling Xiaolei felt a little heartbroken. He had been so enthusiastic in giving candies to Lin Mo. Now he just wanted to snatch all the candies out of Lin Mo's arms.
Who made Lin Mo older than him?
Ling Xiaolei forced an awkward smile, took a bite of the candy, and called out reluctantly, "Uncle."
"Pfft." Lin Mo felt very happy to hear this call of "little uncle". After all, he was only three years older than Ling Xiaolei and one year older than Ling Xiaoguang. However, they were in the same class and did not know each other.
In Lin Mo's eyes, Ling Xiaoguang is a very calm and quiet person. Although Lin Mo's name contains the word "Mo", it has nothing to do with silence. He will only be quiet for a while when he is surrounded by strangers.
If they were all acquaintances, he could lift the entire roof off.
Yaya also liked to follow Ling Xiaoguang and the others and play. It’s not that she didn’t look for Li Luo, but Li Luo was busy in the kitchen and she knew she couldn’t disturb her stepmother.
By the time Li Luo brought the pickled fish to the table, only the old hen was still stewing on the stove.
Chicken soup tastes best when made from old hens, so Li Luo turned on the gas stove to low heat and came out with Ling Xiaoguang, carrying the dishes and bowls.
"Luoluo, look, when we were at our house, you were the one who was busy. Now that we are our guests, you are still busy." Afraid that Li Luo could not handle it alone, Cheng Yuzhu hurried forward to help.
Li Luo took off her apron only after all the dishes were served.
Ling Zhuoqun also took out two bottles of Red Star Erguotou to welcome Lin Song.
Unexpectedly, after Ling Zhuoqun took out the wine, Cheng Yuzhu quickly waved her hand and said, "No, these father and son don't drink at all. One time when I was cooking, I put a little wine to get rid of the fishy smell, and the father and son both fell asleep for a whole day."
Hearing what Cheng Yuzhu said, Ling Zhuoqun could only put the Erguotou back awkwardly.
He then ran out of the door again and came back with a basket of orange-flavored soda, all bought from the convenience store.
It was a hot day and several people were sweating after running here. They had to drink some soda to quench their thirst.
Li Luo smiled at Ling Zhuoqun. She didn't expect that Ling Zhuoqun could be so thoughtful.
Since Ling Zhuoqun would occasionally let his co-workers come back to stay with him, the family had prepared a lot of extra bowls and chopsticks, which came in handy now.
The whole family sat neatly around the dining table. The table, which was usually very empty, was now so empty that people had to sit side by side.
The dishes on the table included pickled fish, cold pig ears, fried peanuts, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and the steamed buns that Li Luo had made during the day.
Today we cooked a lot of millet porridge, so everyone can have a bowl.
The rice porridge was thick and there was a thick layer of rice oil on it. It was a perfect match with the pickled fish. "By the way, Xiao Ling, on the way here today, I heard that something happened at your farm?" Lin Song said after taking two bites of the food.
After Ling Zhuoqun finished swallowing the food in his mouth, he said, "It's okay, it's been resolved. It was Luoluo and the child who were scared."
"To be honest, my sister's brother-in-law was injured in our factory. I took him to the hospital and there was nothing wrong with him," Ling Zhuoqun summarized.
When he heard the word "sister", Lin Weiguo's ears pricked up suddenly. It seemed that Ling Zhuoqun still cared about his sister's affairs!
When his sister's brother-in-law was injured in his factory, he rushed him to see a doctor. Although this was what he should do, no matter how Lin Weiguo thought about it, he always felt uncomfortable.
However, looking at the constant eye contact between Li Luo and Ling Zhuoqun, it didn't look like they were quarreling, but rather like two young people who were still in the ambiguous stage and were about to fall in love.
Lin Weiguo felt relieved for a while.
"It's like this..." Ling Zhuoqun looked at the curious expressions of several people and then told them the whole story. On the one hand, he wanted to reassure Lin Weiguo and the others, and on the other hand, he wanted to prove to Li Luo that he would protect her from the wind and rain.
Sure enough, after hearing the whole story, Lin Weiguo was completely relieved. Lin Song's dismissal was also a misunderstanding, but since Lin Song has found another job, the matter is over.
Another thing that Lin Weiguo is concerned about is who Ling Zhuoqun will stand by between his sister and his wife.
It’s not that they want Ling Zhuoqun to favor Li Luo endlessly, but that when Li Luo is wronged, he should be able to uphold justice for Li Luo. Obviously, Ling Zhuoqun did it.
"To be honest, it's better for us to have less contact with my sister's brother-in-law in the future. It's good for the Ling family and Luoluo." Lin Weiguo said earnestly.
“Uncle, don’t worry, I have already relieved him of his position, but I just can’t recruit anyone to go to the county town for the time being.”
Lin Weiguo slapped his thigh and said, "I can drive a tricycle too!"
"It's just that I'm not familiar with these routes. Xiao Ling, if you trust your uncle, your uncle is willing to help you. I don't ask for any salary. It's also to thank you for giving Xiao Song the opportunity to work."
Lin Weiguo's eyes were very sincere.
Ling Zhuoqun's eyes met Li Luo's, and Li Luo looked away, as if to say, you make the decision on this matter.
Ling Zhuoqun originally planned to buy a tricycle for the Lin family, but if Lin Weiguo wanted to come to work in his factory, he could drive the tricycle in the factory first, and also take Cheng Yuzhu to the county town to sell vegetables.
Thinking of this, Ling Zhuoqun also nodded in agreement: "Uncle, this job is a bit tiring, but don't worry, I will let you familiarize yourself with the route as soon as possible and let you pull less goods."
Unexpectedly, Lin Weiguo patted his chest and said, "Boy, don't underestimate your uncle. Although your uncle may not be as strong as you, your uncle is not too old to walk!"
"Dad!" Lin Song smiled helplessly: "You haven't even drunk any wine yet, why are you talking nonsense?"
"Xiao Ling is also thinking about your health and doesn't want you to be too tired. Why don't you appreciate it?"
Lin Weiguo glared at Lin Song and said, "You little brat, don't you know how powerful your father is? Aren't the five acres of land in our family managed by your mother and me?"
"Look at how well those vegetables and crops are growing!" Lin Weiguo retorted, "Besides, the busy farming season is over now. During this period of time, I have free time to help out at the farm, which can be regarded as helping Xiao Ling solve his problems."
