Chapter 584: Chapter 583: Return to Jishui Village_1

“Happy Birthday.”

Lin Jinlong rubbed his head, looked down at the half-eaten roast pork knuckle in his hand, and awkwardly swallowed some saliva.

“Yixuan, Brother Lan wishes you a happy birthday, good health, and may all your wishes come true.”

Mo Canglan didn’t have roast pork knuckle, so he silently picked up his teacup instead.

“Thank you, sister, and all my brothers.”

Lin Yixuan had teardrops spinning in his eyes, he lifted his small bowl filled with chicken soup noodles, struggling to hold back his tears.

“Eat your noodles first, it won’t taste good when it’s cold.”

Lin Qingluo looked at him affectionately with gentle eyes.

“Okay.”

Lin Yixuan obediently agreed, picked up his chopsticks, and put a strand of noodle in his mouth.

The noodles were soft, the chicken soup savory; eating them warmed his heart.

A tear slid down his long lashes, dropped into the bowl, mixed with the chicken soup, and disappeared.

***

In Jishui Village, just like two years ago, hardworking fishermen set out to sea at dawn and returned at sunset, fishing day after day.

Lin Qingluo and his entourage rode horses all day and arrived at Jishui Village before dusk.

The Feng Family Mansion was still standing, although it seemed even more run down from the outside.

A group of young men escorted Lin Qingluo to the entrance of the courtyard, pushed open the wicket gate, and enter the yard.

“The furnishings in the house are pretty much intact. At least there are beds, so we won’t have to sleep on the floor tonight.”

Shitou was quick and soon went through all the rooms.

“The pots and pans are also there in the kitchen. We just need to clean them up, chop some firewood, and we can cook.”

Lin Jinyun came out of the kitchen holding a basin filled with dishes and placed it next to the well.

“I’ll fetch the water.”

Wang Meng rolled up his sleeves, threw the wooden bucket into the well, and shook the rope a few times; the bucket was filled with water and sank to the bottom.

“It’s full now, you can pull.”

Shitou peeked into the well and called out.

Wang Meng pulled the rope with all his strength, alternately pulling it up. The bucket gradually rose out of the water and was lifted up.

“Wipe the table and benches, clean the beds, wash the pots and dishes. Let’s get to work…”

Seeing the available water, Shitou chanted out work assignments like a play announcer.

“I’ll wash the dishes.”

All eyes turned to him. Feng Yi rolled up his sleeves, squatted down next to the well, poured some clear water into the basin, and started washing the dishes proficiently.

“I’ll wipe the table.”

Lin Jinlong found a cloth somewhere, washed it clean with clear water, and started wiping the stone table in the yard.

Lin Jinyun smilingly assigned tasks: “Mengzi, you go to the little forest behind the mountain and chop some firewood. Shitou, Cang Lan, and I will clean the rooms.”

“Alright.”

Wang Meng cheerfully agreed, found a chopping knife from the woodshed, and briskly walked out of the yard.

“You guys continue cleaning. Yixuan and I will go visit the Old Village Chief.”

Lin Qingluo looked at his brothers busily working and planned to go to the Village Chief’s house to borrow a fishing boat.

“Do you want me to accompany you?”

Feng Yi’s dishwashing hand paused as he asked somewhat involuntarily.

“No need, we know the way to the Village Chief’s house. It’s easy to replace.”

Lin Qingluo smiled reassuringly at him, found a semi-new small shoulder basket from the woodshed, and filled it up with half a bag of flour.

“Sister, let me carry the basket.”

Lin Yixuan quickly grabbed it and put it on his back.

“Is it heavy?”

Lin Qingluo smiled warmly and affectionately ruffled his hair.

“Not at all.”

Lin Yixuan straightened up his back like a little adult, picked up Baoya, and ran out of the yard with the shoulder basket on his back.
