Lin Yu's life of traveling through time

Chapter 207 Old Man I Won’t Die (1)

Lin Yu returned home humming a little tune, and Gu Xinyu had almost prepared all the dishes.

"Old man, you're finally back. I'm just waiting for your fish to be put into the pot!" Gu Xinyu took the bucket from Lin Yu, a smile on her face. "Oh! There are also river crabs."

Lin Yu smiled and said, "Of course you should. You take a rest and I'll do it. Don't you still have a few Hanfu costumes to make? Go ahead and leave the kitchen to me."

After pushing his wife out of the kitchen, Lin Yu washed his hands and started cooking.

After a while, a sumptuous meal was placed on the stone table in the yard.

The moonlight was like water, sprinkling in the small courtyard. Lin Yu and Gu Xinyu sat opposite each other.

Lin Yu poured two glasses of wine and saw that his wife was still looking towards the door from time to time with a hint of expectation.

He handed over a glass of wine and said, "Try it."

Shen Gu Xinyu turned around, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and a blush appeared on her face: "This wine is really fragrant."

Just then, footsteps were heard at the door. Gu Xinyu turned around in surprise, her eyes full of anticipation. However, the person who came in was the neighbor's child.

"Grandpa Lin, Grandma Lin, happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" the child said happily.

"Good boy, come and have some mooncakes." Lin Yu smiled and handed over a mooncake.

The child thanked her and ran away, and Gu Xinyu's eyes dimmed again.

"Xinyu, don't be anxious. Don't you like eating cold-mixed black fungus? Come and try it to see if it suits your taste." Lin Yu picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into the bowl.

"Okay. You eat too."

Looking at his wife's forced smile, Lin Yu almost cursed his children in his heart. Really, they are all like snails.

Just then, the sound of a car was heard outside the door.

"Are they back?" Gu Xinyu stood up excitedly.

Lin Yu quickly supported Gu Xinyu and said, "Don't worry, let's see. Slow down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his eldest son Lin Qiang and his wife came in with their children, carrying large and small bags. Behind them followed his second son Lin Feng, holding two children, and his youngest son Lin Kang followed closely behind.

Dad, Mom, we are back!" the three of them shouted in unison.

Gu Xinyu's tears immediately burst out, and she rushed forward: "I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back!"

Lin Yu curled his lips: "You three really came together. Lin Feng, why did you come back alone with two children?"

"Dad, it's nothing. Jiang Ping was busy, so I just happened to come back in my eldest brother's car."

Lin Yu could tell that something was wrong, but if he didn't ask, someone would get angry.

"Mom, wipe your tears. We're home now. If you keep crying, my dad will punish us." Lin Kang approached Gu Xinyu cautiously and said, "You don't know, I bought some things and was about to go home, but my dad called and scolded me. Mom, I'm so wronged."

"Old man..." Gu Xinyu said to Lin Yu angrily.

Lin Yu rolled his eyes and thought, well, that’s what being a mother is like, always forgiving your child first.

"Hey, just protect him." He glanced at the children and immediately they all stood up straight and behaved very honestly.

The eldest daughter-in-law He Meng and the child were pulled aside by the old lady. "Ignore them, father and son. Take the child to wash his hands. Here are some freshly made mooncakes. Let the child eat first."

After saying that, he turned around, took the hands of Lin Feng's twins and went to wash his hands.

"Let's go, follow grandma."

Lin Yu watched his wife take the children to wash their hands, then turned to look at his sons, "Sit down, put your things where you want. I don't want to say anything to you today because it's a holiday. Just spend the holiday with your mother. As long as the old lady is happy, that's all."

The sons quickly put down their things and sat down at the table obediently.

Gu Xinyu came out with a few children and He Meng, and was a little confused when she saw the people sitting upright.

"Old man, what are you doing? Are you scolding the kids again? You can't scold people today on a holiday. Sit down and have a good meal. Lin Kang, go get a few more cups and some freshly squeezed juice from the kitchen."

"Hey! Mom, I'll get it right away."

Lin Yu was speechless: "How did I scold them? They were supposed to sit down and wait for you to come out for dinner. Who knew they were so well behaved and sat straight?"

"Then don't be so stern. It scares people. Qiangzi, let He Meng sit next to you, Feng'er, you sit next to your eldest brother, and these four children sit next to me. Use chopsticks to eat the dishes you like."

Then he sighed and said, "I don't know what's going on with Xiaoxiao and Lanlan either."

Lin Yu picked up a piece of fish for Gu Xinyu and said, "They might call you later, but you don't have to worry."

Lin Kang ran over with a cup in hand and said with a smile, "Mom, this dish looks delicious today. I have to eat more."

Gu Xinyu smiled and said, "Eat more, everyone, eat more. If it's not enough, there's more. Go sit next to your second brother."

The family started eating, chatting and talking about interesting things from their childhood, with laughter all around.

Just then, Gu Xinyu's cell phone rang. It was a video call from Lin Xiao.

"Mom. How are you? Have you eaten?"

"Xiaoxiao, I'm about to eat. I'm fine. Have you and Shusen gone home yet?"

"Hey, Shusen is working overtime and won't be back for a while. Don't worry, Mom. I've prepared everything here. I see my brother and my younger brother are all home."

"Yeah, I just got back. By the way, Mom sent you a set of mooncakes that I made myself. You'll receive it tomorrow. There are also clothes for Guolin and some for you. Mom made some for you."

"Thank you, Mom. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival." Lin Xiao's eyes were a little red. He cleared his throat and wiped his eyes and said, "Mom, I'm sorry for what happened before."

"Silly child. Okay, enough talking. Mom heard the door open. Shusen should be back. Go quickly."

"Hey! Okay, Mom, I'll visit you and Dad some other day."

After hanging up the phone, everyone at the table fell silent for a moment, their thoughts turning to each other. Before they could say anything, the old lady's phone rang again. This time it was Lin Lan. The mother and daughter talked for a while, and Xiao Yunqi even greeted Gu Xinyu, making her laugh heartily.

This made Lin Feng feel very uncomfortable. In this big family, only his two children rarely came back to see their grandparents. The last time his eldest brother's family didn't come back was because they couldn't ask for leave for school. It was Jiang Ping who didn't allow his family to come back, and kept a distance between them intentionally or unintentionally. Several times he heard his mother-in-law brainwashing the two children, saying that their grandparents didn't like them, and that their grandmother and uncle loved them the most.

Lin Feng sneered at the thought. They only said they loved them the most, but their grandparents provided them with food, clothing, shelter, and transportation when they didn't like it. This was a blatant distortion of right and wrong.

Suddenly, Lin Feng lost interest again, feeling that the whole thing was boring. He poured wine glass after glass, which also attracted the attention of the others at the table.

"Second brother, what are you doing? Drinking to drown your sorrows?" Lin Yu asked.

Lin Feng sat up straight and pulled the corner of his mouth: "Dad, no, it's just that this osmanthus wine is quite delicious, sweet. I drank a few more cups."

Lin Yu was about to say something when he heard the door being pushed open with a bang.

Everyone looked over and saw that it was Jiang Ping, but she didn't look like she was here to celebrate the festival, but rather to cause trouble. Lin Yu's face suddenly turned cold.
