C62 Keep Your Distance
It was better to move than to act. Lin Miaoting made up her mind and decided to go to the town tomorrow to gather all the materials she needed. But when she thought about how to go to the town, it was a little difficult! She could not go there secretly, could she? If her mother found out, she would definitely be talked about.
It was impossible for Lin Kaishan to be busy with the affairs of the wasteland recently, and he didn't have the time to take her to town. If she said that she wanted to go alone, it would definitely arouse the opposition of her parents.
What should she do?
Knock, knock, knock! The sound of iron rings knocking on the door.
"Dr Lin, why are you here? The father had something to do and left. Tell me if you need anything. When my wife comes back, ask him to look for you." Tang Xuemei opened the door of the courtyard and greeted the person who came.
But because Lin Kaishan went to discuss with the village chief and the others about buying land, no one was invited in. After all, how could the villagers be open to the public? For men and women who were not present to chat in private, it was inevitable that some gossips would be heard if others saw them.
"Oh, it's not a big deal inside," Wang Yao said. I didn't borrow a patient. I might have to go to the town tomorrow to see a doctor for two days. "I'm going to ask your family to take care of the house for me. "The weather has been a little bad recently. I'm worried about my herbs."
Lin Bowen was a little embarrassed. He would not have been worried in the past. The main reason was that the weather had been bad for the past two days. These herbs needed to be dried and taken out for ventilation every day, so he had to ask Lin Kaishan and his family for help.
"How big of a deal is this? Fine, I'll take care of it for you when the time comes." Tang Xuemei agreed with a smile.
Lin Bowen thanked her and left Lin Miaoting's house.
Lin Miaoting walked out of the house and saw what happened. Could she ask Dr Lin to take her to the town and tell her parents that she would stay in Jufu Restaurant and not disturb Dr Lin? However, she was still a little uncertain.
Lin Miaoting was a little conflicted. She stood in front of her door and fiddled with her fingers.
"My Little Ke Er has something on her mind?" It was unknown when Tang Xuemei had already walked to Lin Miaoting's side.
"Inner mother, I want to go to the town." Lin Miaoting lowered her head and said in a deep voice.
"Sigh. Mother thought my Keer had something on her mind. Alright, wait until mother and your father tell me to let him take you there someday when he has time."
"No, mom." Lin Miaoting quickly opened her mouth to explain, saying that she wanted to go tomorrow. But Tang Xuemei only said 'Mother wants to make dinner' after gently touching her head and left her.
Lin Miaoting was somewhat frustrated. It seemed that she had to think of a better reason to convince her parents tonight.
In the evening, Lin Kaishan happily returned home. Tang Xuemei first told him about Lin Bowen's arrival at home and then hurriedly went to look for Lin Bowen.
What a coincidence. Lin Kaishan had just arrived at Lin Bowen's house when he saw Lin Bowen heading towards his house. It was said that the family in the town who asked Lin Bowen to come out said that the patient's condition had suddenly deteriorated, and they were looking for Dr Lin urgently.
That was why he had to leave overnight. Coincidentally, Lin Kaishan went there to save Dr Lin the trouble of coming over. Lin Bowen handed the keys to the house to Lin Kaishan and left in a hurry.
However, Lin Bowen did not expect that he would suddenly leave early this time. He was about to bring him into a past that he did not want to talk about.
When Lin Kaishan returned home, Tang Xuemei and Lin Miaoting had already prepared dinner.
The two of them first roughly described Dr Lin's family situation and said that Dr Lin had left early. It made Lin Miaoting feel a sense of loss, and she sighed in her heart. A person's calculation is really not as good as heaven's calculation.
She could only stuff the rice into her mouth in a bit of anger. It was tasteless and tasteless.
"Plum, our land has been settled today! The two acres of fertile land that we bought happened to be right next to the piece of barren land that was approved by the government. " I heard that it's the land that our village's Elder Lin's family wants to sell. It can be considered to know everything. "
Elder Lin? Is he the one who is raising his son now? Those few acres of land in his family are all served well by him and his adopted son." Tang Xuemei sat in front of the dining table with the leftover mantou in one hand and said happily.
Yes, it is that old forest head. This adopted son is a good one. Old Lin Tou wanted to tell this child about the marriage. However, he could not do anything about the silver taels in his family. Weren't they taken away by the two sons? They could only sell the two acres of land in the house to gather some silver. It was just that the price was a little expensive. But when I see that it's close to our home and is still a village, it's decided. "You don't blame me for spending money, do you?"
"Yes. Okay. You're in charge of the family matters. You're doing a good deed as well, "Wang Yao said. " Moreover, our family doesn't lack a few silver coins. It's a blessing in disguise. " Tang Xuemei said.
That's fine. Tomorrow, I will go to the town to settle the contract. Do you have to hurry early or late?" Lin Kaishan said happily and ate the dishes in big gulps.
"Sure, I'll get you some silver later. Oh, right," Lin Kaishan said. Take Keer with you tomorrow. Your daughter wants to go to town to play." Tang Xuemei instructed.
Lin Kaishan looked at Lin Miaoting and felt a little awkward. However, Lin Kaishan would always do his best to satisfy his daughter's wishes.
"Keer, it's fine if you want to go to the town with your father. But Dad has something important tomorrow. You have to be obedient, okay?"
"Yes." Lin Miaoting did not expect that even the heavens were helping her.
"Daddy, just leave me in Jufu Restaurant as usual. After you're done with your work, come and fetch me with your uncles. " I'll only go for a stroll near the Jufu Restaurant. I won't lose my way if I'm familiar with it. "
Sure. It's just that, Keer. Father saw that Manager Lin and that young boss were very friendly to you, but Keer, you can't let your guard down just because other people are good to you. Do you know that? "Girls still need to pay attention to keeping a distance from men, okay?"
Lin Kaishan intentionally reminded her.
Lin Miaoting could only let out a grunt. She touched it awkwardly but did not say anything. Was his father thinking too much?
Sigh! No wonder. The main reason was because she had said that she had collaborated with Jufu Restaurant before. However, they always said that she was joking. Now that they saw her running into Jufu Restaurant, sometimes she spoke with a bit of carelessness. It seemed that they would have to pay attention to her in the future. However, what Lin Miaoting didn't expect was that she would inadvertently bring back a big trouble for herself when she went to the Jufu Restaurant!
After eating, Lin Miaoting helped Tang Xuemei clean up the bowls and chopsticks. Then, she returned to her room and laid down on the brick bed early in the morning, preparing to have a good rest.
At night, the rumbling thunder sounded again and Lin Miaoting suddenly woke up.
"Is the rain a little too tiring? It seems like it has only been a day since it has cleared up! I pray that tomorrow morning is sunny." Lin Miaoting curled up her body and looked at the white light and the rumbling sound that seemed to be ringing in her ears from time to time. She muttered in her heart discontentedly.
Unknowingly, the thunder gradually became softer and further away. Lin Miaoting also fell asleep in a daze.
The sky was about to break and Lin Miaoting slowly opened her eyes. She pulled open the curtain that covered the window and the azure sky appeared in front of her eyes.
"Looks like the rain has stopped."
