Hearing this, Lin Miao quickly ran towards the middle courtyard.
Lin Mu looked at Lin Yu and asked, “What are you looking for Zhuzi for?”
Lin Yu pointed at the iron pot and said with a smile, “Mom, I definitely won't be short of hunted game in the future. In terms of handling these meats, who among us can compare to Zhuzi, our professional chef?”
“Hahaha…” Lin Mu laughed, “You little rascal, you know how to order people around.”
“But this kid Zhuzi really does have some excellent culinary skills.”
In a short while, Lin Miao returned from the middle courtyard with He Yu Shui.
“Auntie Lin, Brother Xiao Yu.” He Yu Shui said shyly.
Lin Yu rubbed He Yu Shui’s head and said, “Yu Shui, try the mutton stew that Brother Xiao Yu made tonight, see if it’s fragrant or not. We’re all in for a treat today, this is authentic wild mountain goat…”
Seeing He Yu Shui closing her eyes and enjoying the head-patting,
Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart, how come it felt so strange?
Could this little girl He Yu Shui have developed some unknown habit because of me?
Just then, Lin Fu pushed his bicycle and walked over with Sha Zhu.
“Dad, why did you and Brother Zhuzi end up walking together?”
Sha Zhu quickly said, “Auntie Lin, Xiao Yu, I came to pick up Yu Shui…”
Before Sha Zhu could finish, Lin Fu said impatiently, “You pick up what, I told you to come eat, not to take Yu Shui away. What, our food can’t compare to what this great chef cooks?”
Speaking of the entire courtyard, if there was anyone Sha Zhu feared most, it would definitely be Lin Fu.
Back when the Lin family first arrived, it coincided with Lin Fu returning from a leave of absence from the military. In the middle of the night, the courtyard was robbed.
Lin Fu directly came out with a gun and fired, three thieves were killed and one injured. From then on, no one dared to provoke the Lin family.
Back then, Lin Fu took Lin’s eldest son to participate in the northern ice war, and Jia Zhang Shi had a verbal dispute with Lin Mu.
Yi Zhong Hai took sides, Lin Mu holding a cleaver in one hand and her child in the other, pointed at Yi Zhong Hai and cursed.
Eleven-year-old Lin Yu, without saying a word, put a bayonet to Jia Zhang Shi’s neck.
Fortunately, Jia Dong Xu was a decent person and did not escalate the conflict with the Lin family, otherwise Jia Zhang Shi would have been stabbed with holes that night.
The next morning, Lin Yu went to Linjia Village to call for people.
Old Man Lin came with over a dozen nephews and smashed Yi Zhong Hai’s and Jia’s houses to pieces.
Yi Zhong Hai also had two ribs broken. Although they called the police at the time,
Old Man Lin made a phone call and settled the matter. Lin Da Bo then brought people to drag Yi Zhong Hai out of the hospital and beat him up.
If it wasn't for Yi Da Ma kneeling down and begging, Yi Zhong Hai would have been shot by Lin Da Bo.
Sha Zhu remembers vividly, the over a dozen guys who came from Linjia Village were all armed with guns.
Lin Da Bo’s gun was pointed at Yi Zhong Hai’s head.
From then on, the Lin family’s ferocity was deeply embedded in the hearts of the courtyard residents.
Even now, regardless of Jia Dong Xu, Sha Zhu, Xu Da Mao, Liu Guang Qi, all these older kids, none of them dared to act disrespectfully towards Lin Fu.
Everyone was present, the Lin family started setting the table and serving dishes, ready to eat.
Sha Zhu looked at the big bowl of mutton soup and mutton with potatoes on the table, the staple food was white steamed buns.
His younger sister skillfully sat in her usual spot. Lin Mu夹給了 the two girls big pieces of mutton, without any sense of incongruity.
“What are you staring at, you need me to ask you to sit down?” Lin Fu said impatiently, looking at the dazed Sha Zhu.
This is a case of having a wrong name but a right nickname, when did this kid become so silly?
Sha Zhu instinctively shrank his neck and quickly sat down next to his sister.
“Brother, get up, this is Brother Xiao Yu’s seat.” He Yu Shui pushed Sha Zhu and said.
Sha Zhu was stunned: who am I, who is this girl’s brother?
Lin Yu came out of the house with a wine flask.
“Brother Zhuzi, quickly give up your seat, Yu Shui has already spoken.”
Lin Yu sat down between Sha Zhu and Yu Shui, poured a glass of wine for Lin Fu and Sha Zhu each and said, “Dad, have a taste, 62 degree Erguotou from the 50-year batch.”
Lin Fu quickly picked up his glass, took a whiff: “Fragrant, truly fragrant.”
He took a mouthful, half a glass down: “Hey, this wine is good, compared to the Erguotou we usually drink, it’s not even as good as horse urine.”
“Zhuzi, you have a more discerning palate, have a taste and see what you think.”
Sha Zhu had smelled it when Lin Yu was pouring the wine. Hearing Lin Fu’s words, he quickly picked up his glass and took a sip, his eyes instantly lit up.
“Uncle, it tastes even better than Fenjiu to me, strong, potent, it goes down smoothly, and the aftertaste is nice.”
Lin Fu nodded and said, “Zhuzi is right, our place still has to be Erguotou for a comfortable drink. Son, how much did you get?”
Lin Yu looked at his mother, quickly said, “Not much, not much…”
He even winked at Lin Fu.
Lin Fu understood instantly, such good wine, this kid must have gotten a lot.
“Dad, I’m going out after dinner, going to visit Li Huai De’s house.” Lin Yu said.
Sha Zhu looked at Lin Fu and Lin Yu, he had the intention to get up.
Over the years, Sha Zhu has been to many high-ranking officials’ homes with his master to cook, he knows what should be heard and what shouldn't be heard.
Lin Fu patted the table and said, “Sit down. Xiao Yu is willing to tell you in front of you, which means he doesn’t want to hide it from you. You’re the only young man I like in this courtyard, you two brothers will get along well in the future.”
Sha Zhu nodded, touched, and sat down.
In the whole courtyard, only the Lin family, big or small, never called him Sha Zhu.
Lin Yu and Lin Miao called him Brother Zhuzi, you could say that Sha Zhu felt an unprecedented level of respect from the Lin family.
Lin Fu turned to Lin Yu and said, “Go, you’re definitely not keeping those five wolf pelts, what arrangements do you have?”
Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, “Give Li Huai De two, I had an unpleasant encounter with Yang Wei Min today. It seems I won’t be able to get the Level 4 clerk position this time, but Level 5 should be no problem.”
Lin Fu handed in his mission today and took people back to the Security Department. After all, his son was selling wild boars there, it was a bit of a bad reputation for him, the head of the Security Department, to be there.
“Level 5 clerk will do. Don’t move around for a while, our section chief is about to retire early. After National Day, I’ll be able to move up a bit.”
Hearing Lin Fu’s words, everyone at the table instinctively froze.
