Chapter 255 Suspicion
At noon, Lin Jiaojiao did not go to the dining room with Fu's mother and the others to eat, because Lin Yizhi was still sleeping and she didn't have the heart to wake him up.
Another reason was that there were too many elders at the dinner table and she felt embarrassed.
Fortunately, Fu's mother expressed her understanding and did not force her to go with them. She asked the servants to bring them food.
She watched Fu's mother and the others leave, then closed the door and went back to the bed to twist the quilt for the sleeping person.
When Fu's mother and father arrived at the dining room, they saw Prefect Jiang and Su Tongpan sitting at the coffee table playing chess. Su Tongpan raised his head when he heard the noise, but did not see Lin Jiaojiao, so he frowned.
"Why don't you see Jiao'er? Are you feeling unwell?"
Fu's mother came over to them and looked at the chessboard, shaking her head in disdain. It was not as fun as playing mahjong.
"I don't know why my brother is so eager to see her back. He hasn't had a good rest for so many days. Jiao Jie feels sorry for her husband and is accompanying him to rest."
Judge Su Tong dropped a white chess piece in disappointment. It seemed that he would not see her today.
When Jiang Huai followed his father in, he happened to hear what Fu's mother said. Although he knew that Lin Jiaojiao would not beat Lin Yizhi as they said, he felt relieved after hearing what Fu's mother said.
After all, he and Lin Yizhi have been getting along for these days and have already regarded him as a friend.
"Mother, aunt and uncle, Aunt Su."
He respectfully called them elders and followed Jiang's father to them.
Su Tongpan smiled and nodded at Jiang Huai. Looking at the man in front of him who was becoming more and more handsome, he kept sighing in his heart that it was a pity.
This should have been a happy marriage between childhood sweethearts that everyone envied, but fate played a trick on them and made the two children miss it.
However, Jiao'er's three husbands are not bad either, especially Yan'er, who manages the business very well and is pregnant. She feels happy when she thinks that she will have her grandchildren in four or five months.
When Fu's mother saw that everyone had arrived, she quickly asked them to come to the table to eat. After the meal, she couldn't wait to ask the servant to bring the mahjong box over.
"Now that Sister Jiao is back, I can finally play mahjong with peace of mind. Is Lord Su free this afternoon?"
Su Tongpan's body froze as she was about to leave. She indeed had nothing to do in the afternoon, but since she wouldn't be able to see Lin Jiaojiao today, she was ready to go home and have a good rest.
"It's okay..." She said as she looked for help at the governor Jiang who was watching the show on the side.
However, Prefect Jiang gave Su Tongpan a helpless look, then said goodbye and went back to his room to rest.
Fu's mother immediately counted the people: "One, two, three, four is just right. I haven't played for such a long time. I don't know if your skills have declined. Brother Huai, do you want to learn?"
Jiang Huai nodded slightly: "Okay."
...
Lin’s house in Linjia Village.
Fu Qi didn't dare eat too much at lunch, as eating too much would make his stomach bulge, and the belt around his waist would be too tight and squeeze his stomach.
He paced back and forth in the inner courtyard. He did not dare to go outside or take a walk on the farm because they were already laying the foundation for a house next to the house, and the area around Lin's house and the farm was full of workers.
Now the Lin residence is full of male relatives, Lin Jiaojiao is not at home, and with so many female workers coming in and out nearby, Lin Dadan transferred two of the girls with the best martial arts skills from the farm to guard the house.
Father Lin and Lin Yiyan sat at the table in the yard, embroidering small clothes in the sun.
Father Lin looked at Fu Qiu walking in front of them and said distressedly: "Xiao Qiu, I really wronged you. When the yard next door is built, you can take a good walk and watch the fish."
Fu Qi blushed: "No, I'm not wronged, Dad."
At this time, the sound of wheel came from outside the gate. Fu Qi immediately walked quickly towards the gate. Lin Yiyan also put down the needle and thread in his hand, stood up with the help of Zhao Xiaotong, and walked towards the door.
Father Lin shouted to the two anxious people, "Slow down."
Before they reached the front yard, Lin Dadan had already walked in.
When they saw that it was Lin Dada, their excitement was instantly extinguished, but thinking that there might be news about her, they looked at her expectantly again.
Lin Dadan touched her nose embarrassedly. She only found out yesterday that Lin Yiyan had asked Lin Fen to send a letter to Su Tongpan the day before yesterday. It seemed that he was still suspicious.
Fu Qi asked, "Aunt Lin, haven't Sister Jiaojiao and Second Brother come back yet?"
She shook her head: "Not yet, but it should be soon."
He continued to ask disappointedly: "Then my mother and the others went out to do something and haven't come back yet?"
He was waiting for his mother and father to bring the doctor to see him so that he could wear loose clothes without a belt with a clear conscience.
Seeing that she was still shaking her head, he hung his head in disappointment. How come her wife hadn't come back at this time, and her mother and father weren't around either? He felt like he was being abandoned.
The more he thought about it, the sadder he became, and his eyes turned red. He forced himself to greet them, then quickly walked towards his room. Seeing this, Father Lin hurriedly followed him to comfort him.
Lin Yiyan also felt uncomfortable. He always felt that Lin Dadan was hiding something from him, so he asked Lin Fen to send a letter the day before yesterday to find out whether she was really seriously ill as she said.
After all, Lin Jiaojiao and the others had been gone for so long. Even if they really stayed there to take care of the seriously ill Su Tongpan, it was impossible for them not to send any news home.
"Aunt Lin, is there anything wrong?"
Lin Dadan also remembered the important business here and hurriedly reported the business situation of each store in the past few days.
"Dispatcher Qiu and I have checked out most of the spicy hot pot shops in the surrounding towns. We are just waiting for the owner to come back and confirm. Also, the dried chilies in the warehouse are gone, so the hot pot base we made today can only last for two days."
Lin Yiyan supported his waist with one hand. His body felt heavier and heavier. He felt his legs swollen and painful after standing for a while.
Lin Jiaojiao had previously secretly gone to the warehouse to add the dried chilies, but now the supply was cut off, and even if she came back she couldn't suddenly take them out.
“How’s the soup business?”
“Generally, there might be ten out of a hundred servings of spicy hotpot.”
"If there is no more red soup, we will have to buy less vegetables. We can just cook clear soup. We'll make arrangements after Jiaojiao comes back."
I hope Jiaojiao can come back in time when the fish is delivered, otherwise I can’t take out the dried chilies with a clear conscience.
"Well, that's all we can do for now. By the way, the potatoes that the boss brought back have only been planted for a few days, but they're sprouting very quickly. We're also growing other seeds according to the planting manual that the boss left behind, and some have already sprouted. We're still cultivating new fertile land, so I'm sure it won't be long before we're planted with vegetables."
Lin Yiyan nodded slightly, remembering the fruit that Lin Jiaojiao had been nagging about for a long time.
"Auntie Lin, have the strawberry seeds sprouted?"
"It's rich, it's rich. According to the boss's previous instructions, ten acres of land were reserved to plant this. What kind of fruit is this? They actually planted so much."
He smiled and shook his head: "I don't know either. Jiaojiao brought it back from Fanwai. I heard that this fruit is delicious."
Lin Dadan listened and didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, these seeds would be harvested in a few months and he would know what they looked like.
"Okay, then I'll go to the farm and check on the progress."
"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Lin."
He watched her leaving and gave instructions to Zhao Xiaotong behind him.
"Call Xiaowu over."
"Good husband."
