Chapter 25
Visitors
The afternoon sun is shining brightly, and the meat, vegetables and rice are fragrant inside the house.
The whole family was lying on the sofa together, casually chatting about home affairs. The time at this moment was peaceful and comfortable.
Lin An's health hasn't recovered yet, and they don't plan to go out recently. Now that they have some free time, they feel as if they are on vacation.
In fact, it's okay to do this, take this opportunity to buffer yourself from the chaos of war during these days.
Even if the outside world is turned upside down and it will never be the same again, as long as people are still together, they will slowly adapt and find a way to survive.
After chatting for a while, Mother Lin cleared the dining table and prepared to braise yesterday's offal.
In addition, the leftover lard residue from cooking lard last time is also planned to be made into pork floss with chili peppers, and I don’t want to waste it at all.
After Lao Lin and Lin Yu stopped fishing for the time being, they discussed in the living room for a while, thinking about making some homemade sports equipment.
The two men seemed to suddenly have some obsession with improving their combat effectiveness.
Lao Lin had never had the idea of fitness before. In his concept, health preservation is about being strong without desires and letting nature take its course, so that you can live a long life.
And Lin Yu has no desire to become a muscular man. Although his motor skills are good and he is often selected to participate in school basketball games, he is not a person who loves sports.
Rather than sweating profusely outside, he prefers less tiring fingertip exercise - playing games.
Now, the two father and son seemed to be stimulated by something, and they looked like they wanted to polish themselves into the Hulk. They chatted more and more energetically together, and they looked very happy.
Lin An was lying on the sofa cushions, squinting as the warm wind on the balcony blew. The breeze brushed her cheek, gentle and comfortable.
Listening to the whispers of her father and brother, and smelling the aroma of meat wafting from the kitchen, the sleepy little girl fell asleep again.
"I want to make a sandbag similar to a tumbler."
Lin Yu made a boxing stance, punched the air twice, and shook his head to dodge twice to imitate being attacked.
Lao Lin, who was scratching his back with a tickle, thought for a moment, "This is not difficult, but the materials that need to be prepared are more troublesome."
"First of all, you need to have a spring with good toughness."
The civilization of this world has been in ruins for who knows how many years. Even the steel-reinforced buildings have been penetrated by plants, and there are no useful springs anywhere.
Seeing that his son looked frustrated, Lao Lin rubbed the newly grown stubble on his chin, and after hesitation, he whispered to him.
"Actually, our family has——"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu immediately came to his senses and stood up from the sofa, "Where is it? I'll get it."
Lao Lin grabbed him and said, "Hey, hey, don't worry, this spring is hard to handle."
As he spoke, he pointed the itch in his hand at Lizhen, who was busy in the kitchen, and nodded, "Your mother has to agree."
Lin Yu didn't understand, what does this have to do with his mother? Why did he need her consent? It was just a few springs, not a family heirloom, and the loan application had to be reported to the organization?
Lao Lin lowered his voice and said, "There are springs in our mattress, but the mattress was replaced with a new one last year. It costs several thousand dollars. If you want to remove it, you have to ask your mother first."
Mother Lin was in the kitchen trying to make a delicious braised dish with the least amount of seasoning. As soon as she turned her head, she saw her father and son standing behind the door, looking at her eagerly.
What do you want to do?
Didn’t you just finish eating?
Are you craving for her freshly braised pig intestines again?
Forget Lin Yu's greediness, why did Lao Lin join him in misbehaving?
Mother Lin murmured in her heart, wiped a random hand on her apron, opened the glass door, blocked the door as if to guard against thieves, and scanned the two people.
"What are you doing standing here?"
Lin Yu smiled guiltily, "Mom, I have something I want to discuss with you."
Seeing the way he hesitated to speak, Mother Lin knew that there was something fishy and that this boy was trying to get into trouble.
She simply walked out, closed the kitchen door behind her back, and asked defensively, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Lin Yu hesitated and talked about the idea of dismantling the spring mattress to make sandbags.
As soon as she heard what he said, Mother Lin's face turned dark like that of Typhoon Day.
Seeing her expression, Lin Yu knew that this matter was probably a failure. His mother was a miser. She couldn't bear to throw away the broken things in the house, let alone destroy the good things. It would probably be better than cutting her.
My flesh still hurts.
"Old Lin——"
Lao Lin, who was nearby to assist, was suddenly called upon, and his forehead twitched, giving him an ominous premonition.
"Are you really sure you can make that spring sandbag?"
Lin Yu, who was already wilting, suddenly became excited when he heard this. There is room for maneuver!
Seeing his wife looking at him with eager eyes and his son with eager eyes, Lao Lin felt that he had dug a hole for himself.
Facing these two pairs of stressful eyes, Lao Lin smiled unconfidently.
"Well, I can give it a try. After all, starting from scratch requires the accumulation of experience. Besides, with all the springs in the bed, one can always succeed."
Hearing the dandy's tone, Mother Lin couldn't help but close her eyes and take a deep breath, then raised her eyes to look at him.
"Yes, you can try, but - if it doesn't work in the end, I will break the mattress into as many pieces as you want. If you don't believe me, you can try it too!"
No matter how upset he was, Lin Yu was very happy anyway. He grinned his big white teeth and went to move the mattress to his room happily.
"Lizhen, don't worry, I..." Before he finished speaking, Lao Lin suddenly turned his head and looked at the closed door.
"How--" Mother Lin just started to speak, but was interrupted by a serious-faced Lao Lin, who stretched out his hand to signal her to stop talking.
The kitchen was right next to the door, very close to the security door. Old Lin walked lightly, walked behind the door in a few steps, and looked out through the peephole.
Opposite to the house where the Flea Man's body was lost, the door he had closed before - was opened!
When Lin Yu dragged the mattress out, he saw his parents lying behind the door. His expression froze, and he immediately realized that something had happened.
Lin Yu casually leaned the mattress in his hand against the wall next to him, and walked over quickly in a few steps.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Mother Lin turned around and pointed outside, her expression even more serious than when she just removed the mattress.
"The door opposite opened and something got in."
Just when a few people were huddled behind the door and guessing whether the person who entered was a flea man or a mutant, they suddenly heard a cry.
"Hey! Is anyone home?"
The sound came from the balcony!
Soon, three tall and short bodies leaned out from the balcony glass door, looking out with vigilance like marmots.
On the balcony next door, a short-haired woman saw them coming out and immediately smiled and waved to them.
"Hello, my name is Li Liya."
The woman in green short-sleeves waved her right arm. Her bare arm was covered with complex and strange cyan tattoos.
Such a wild tattoo, wanton and eye-catching, was not in line with the soft temperament of her round face, but this perception was soon broken by her opening her mouth.
"Damn it, you guys made all the stuff in this room." She pointed at the room, wrinkled her nose in disgust, and looked like she was choked by the smell.
"You are really good at it. You are not afraid of attracting alien species when you do something outside the Mustard Seed Space. You are so brave."
Lao Lin and his family, who were stunned, did not answer the conversation and continued to look at her calmly.
Especially Lin Yu, his eyes were so direct and even a little explicit, so hot that they couldn't be ignored.
Li Liya naturally noticed it. When she saw such a handsome little guy staring at her angrily, she was not shy or angry at all. Instead, she raised her eyebrows and smiled brightly at him, revealing a small snow-white tiger tooth.
The woman's charming smile is free and handsome, showing her enthusiasm without any concealment, but this smile does not offend the straight man Yu.
All he saw was that this woman - she actually had a rainbow ring!
