C33 (1/2)
In the end, the two of them safely carried the table into the room and set it up in a corner.
”Wangzhige, where did you get such a big table? It's really practical. In the future, we can learn how to write, paint, and play chess here.”
With regards to what Lin Chunnuan had said, Dou Wang only felt that it was a novel and looked forward to it, but he did not truly have it. After all, in the entire village, not a single person could read at all, and their lives were pretty good, not to mention drawing and playing chess.
”About three times in half an hour.”
That was to say, he would flip through three times in half an hour and once in ten minutes.
Dou Wang nodded, then told Chun Wen that he remembered, and Lin Chunnuan continued to talk.
You just have to keep flipping at this speed until it breaks easily and the fragrance of tea wafts out. Then, you just have to move the bamboo plaque to the house and hang it there.
Lin Chunnuan was very satisfied with Dou Wang's ability to comprehend. She also repeatedly reminded him that during the last drying session, he must remember to close all the doors and windows, not only do you not enter the damp air, you two must not let Little Spot in and cause any trouble.
Everything was made clear, Lin Chunnuan immediately ran towards her home. Dou Wang never dared to let her return in the dark so everyone in the village should already be asleep, and if one or two random people were to wander around outside and meet them, it would be dangerous. Thus, Lin Chunnuan decided to send her back.
Although Lin Chunnuan refused to let Dou Wang see her off, Dou Wang still locked the door and sent Lin Chunnuan to her house. The two of them really ran back the entire way, and their speed was fast, but they were still worried that the tea leaves would not dry for too long. If they knew earlier, they wouldn't have eaten, and would have rushed back home while they were drying the tea leaves.
It was just that during their run home, the two of them deliberately lightened their footsteps. Otherwise, with it being night time, it would inevitably alarm others and they would arrive at the Lin Clan's courtyard entrance. Just as they had expected, the courtyard entrance had already been bolted shut.
It was a good thing that Little Spotty had to follow him over. Otherwise, if he were to knock on the door, he would have woken up everyone and carefully put Little Spotty in. It then went to scratch Lin Chunnuan's door familiarly, since it had already come by once.
When the door made a sound, Zhang Liu immediately opened it. She had been worried for a whole day and when she heard the sound, she knew that her daughter had returned, because her mother-in-law insisted on locking the door.
Even Lin Daqing was very angry, if not because he was afraid of eldest daughter going crazy, he would have liked to beat Zhang Liu up. Hence, he agreed with his mother that, since they had run out, they should not come back.
When Little Spot was scratching on the door for the first time, Zhang Liu heard it. She quickly got down from the ground to pick her daughter up, and when the door to the room was opened, Little Spot quickly jumped out of the courtyard and jumped into Dou Wang's embrace. It wasn't until Lin Chunnuan entered the courtyard that Dou Wang turned around and ran back home.
Usually, when he came out like this, he would never lock the door, but it was different now. His house had too many valuable things, the silver in the barn, the mint that was left to dry, the tea that was left to dry, and the meat of deer that was prepared for Little Spot. They were all valuable things.
At the same time, Lin Chunnuan followed Zhang Liu into the courtyard and into her own house. The two of them did not speak.
”Sister …”
Just that when she entered the room, Lin Chunjiao called her softly. If her sister did not come back, she would not be able to sleep soundly.
”Why aren't you asleep yet? Didn't I tell you not to worry about me?”
”Elder sister, why did you just return?”
When Chun Jiao saw that his sister had gotten on the brick bed, he immediately asked her in a low voice. Today, she was really worried, afraid that something would happen to her sister.
”I haven't finished what I wanted to do, but it was done smoothly. It's just that I didn't have enough time. Next time, I will arrange time well. I won't be back so late.”
Lin Chunnuan hugged her sister, reassuring her.
”Next time, don't even think about it, I won't let you out. This time, our mothers will be scared out of their wits. If there is a next time, when you come back, you might not be able to see us anymore, and will be directly scared to death by you.”
Zhang Liu was really too worried. She had been in a trance the entire day, because her daughter did not tell her the truth, as she did not know what exactly her daughter was up to. The worry slowly disappeared as time passed, and it kept on rising, until she really felt that she had reached the limit of what she could bear.
Lin Chunnuan also knew that she really came back a bit too late today, so she didn't try to figure it out. She just wanted to find a chance and reveal a little of what his mother had done to him and let her know that she was doing serious business.
”Mother, don't worry, I'll tell you in detail in the future. You just need to remember that your eldest daughter isn't stupid and definitely won't do anything bad.
Lin Chunnuan gave her mother a calming pill that was neither painful nor itchy.
