C20 (1/2)
The next morning, Jiang Kevin, as a rare occurrence, did not go to the mountain to practice martial arts. Instead, he stayed at Lin Fengmao's house to help out — he had agreed that he would hold a banquet at the Lin Clan.
Early in the morning, someone from the village who had a good relationship with Lin Fengmao came over to help. A group of people were engaged in an intense battle.
Fortunately, Lin Fengmao's courtyard was large, or else it would not even be possible to open it.
Lin Fengmao shuttled back and forth in high spirits while assigning missions.
Guo Caiyun brought the women to wash the dishes and select the dishes, feeling extremely busy.
With his chef's hat, apron, and cleaver in hand, Linder cut a chicken into a dozen pieces. With another sweep of the knife, he dropped all the chicken on the chopping board into the bucket below, then went to get the other one.
Beside him was the butcher, Lin Fengbo, who had two pigs ready to be dissected.
This was something that Jiang Chen had Lin Jianmu bring from the village. Although the wild boar meat was delicious, it was only stewed. These two pigs can be eaten with open mouth, such as fried meatballs, boiled meatballs, peppers, house meat, braised pork, whatever you want.
On the other side was a basket of crabs, prawns, and krill, all of which were fresh and fresh. Lin Jianmu got up early and pulled it back from the county's morning market, so it would be fresh.
Next was a special dish for cutting cold vegetables. There was roast chicken, smoked sausages, canned fruit, pork head, and all sorts of other dishes.
Several families had brought their children to help. These children had their eyes fixed on the cold vegetables. When the adults weren't paying attention, they would secretly touch a few pieces of meat and place them in their mouths.
Then came the reprimands of adults, the shrieks of children.
Jiang Chen originally wanted to help Lin Fengbo chop the meat. It was a strenuous task, but Lin Fengbo rejected him.
”No need. Someone will be here to help soon.” ”Today, you should just sit in the room and let us take care of everything.”
Linde also said, ”This is our custom here. You can go in.”
The old-fashioned Linde had already said that Jiang Kevin was a good person.
Just as he was about to enter the house and see what was going on, he grabbed two candy bars and distributed them to the children.
When the kid who was originally greedy for meat saw the candy, he immediately forgot about the meat and rushed to Jiang Chen's side to surround her. One by one, they stretched out their necks with their eyes wide open as they stared at the candies in Jiang Kevin's hands.
Seeing the suspicious liquid flowing out of the children's mouths, Jiang Chen smiled as he handed the candies to them.
The children originally wanted to rob him, but for some reason, when they saw the gentle look in the big brother's eyes, they did not dare to do so. They obediently let Jiang Kevin put the candies in their pockets, not daring to move even after they had divided the candies.
”Eat.”
Jiang Kevin's soft words were like an order to the children's ears.
The children happily took out the candy, tore off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into their mouths.
The candy that Jiang Kexin had bought was definitely not some shoddy candy mixed with a few dollars a kilo of saccharin pigment in the rural market. It was a brand candy that Lin Jianmu had bought from a supermarket in the county.
After distributing the candies, he let the children play by themselves. Jiang Kevin turned around and filled another plate with candies before bringing a large bag of melon seeds into the house.
When Lin Kevin entered, the room was filled with people who were chatting enthusiastically.
”Everyone move aside.”
Jiang Chen went in and placed the candy and melon seeds on the brick bed. He said to the crowd with a smile, ”Everyone, don't chat. Eat a piece of candy and eat some melon seeds.”
Tu Hu and Lin Fengbo's daughter-in-law's eyes immediately lit up. ”Third Aunt, to have such an intelligent and capable nephew, you must be a lucky person.”
Lin De still had two older brothers above him, and they were the third oldest because there were no longer any old grudges between them. However, his eldest brother had passed away a few years ago, while his second brother and his wife had gone to the city where their son worked to look after their children. They had not returned for two years.
When Nie Caijin heard Lin Fengbo's wife praise Jiang Chen, her eyes curved into a line. She covered her mouth as she laughed and said, ”This child, he has some good points.”
Lin Jianmu's mother, Lin Fengwu's daughter-in-law, looked at Kevin Jiang carefully before patting her thigh. ”I was just saying that Kevin has changed. So he has grown taller.”
Saying that, Lin Fengwu's wife stood beside Jiang Kevin and gestured with her hands, ”You were originally about the same as me, but now you're taller than me by quite a bit.”
Lin Lan, who was sitting on the brick bed feeding her child, said with a smile, ”Wen Wen is only 18 years old...” ”Aiyo, Mom, why did you hit me?”
Nie Caijin forced a smile and said, ”I'm hitting flies.”
After being glared at, Lin Lan glanced at Jiang Kevin, who stood out among the women in the room like a crane among a flock of chickens. Only then did she realize that she seemed... He said the wrong thing again.
The current Jiang Kevin was already around the same height as Zhang Yongping...
”Hehe, there really are flies. ”Hmm, Auntie Feng Wang, your daughter is twenty-two right? Have you found her target?”
Lin Fengwang's daughter-in-law was eating a melon seed, but at the mention of this, she didn't even have the desire to eat a melon seed. ”Ai, I was also worried. She's actually quite happy that she didn't get worried. ” Saying that, he glanced at Jiang Kevin and said regretfully, ”If my family's girl was two or three years younger, I would definitely not let Kevin be my son-in-law. ”Haha.”
Nie Caijin: ”…”
Lin Lan: ”…”
Jiang Kevin said with regret, ”What a pity that I'm a woman.”
When Lin Fengwang's wife heard this, she laughed and picked up another handful of melon seeds. As she ate, she laughed and said, ”If you are a girl, all the old masters in the village must be a girl.”
Lin Fengbo's wife said, ”That's right, it's not like we didn't see that wild boar. Who in our village has the ability to kill such a wild boar? Although she looks a bit delicate, but now the little girl likes you. Don't you think so, girls? ”
