Chapter 620: Chapter 619: Reunion with Relatives, Fourth Grandfather, Ninth Uncle_1
 

Ninth Uncle Lin had accompanied Fourth Master Lin in the military camp for a day, visiting the wounded and handling the follow-up matters of the deceased soldiers. It was already dark by the time they returned.

Father and son were both delighted to see the three siblings.

Particularly, Lin Qingluo sweetly called out to her Fourth Grandfather. The seasoned general, who had been commanding armies for years, was so happy that his beard curled upwards and his wrinkled old face broke into a wide smile, like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Ninth Uncle Lin felt envious and took out a piece of milk candy that he had kept in his pocket for who knows how long. He handed it to his little niece with a grin, waiting for her to call him Ninth Uncle.

Ninth Lady Lin rolled her eyes at the scene, her ears flushing red from embarrassment.

“Hello, Ninth Uncle!”

Lin Qingluo playfully grinned, gripping the milk candy as she made a funny face.

“Hahaha.”

Ninth Uncle Lin was delighted beyond words, picking up his bow and arrow and heading out the door.

He was excited to go hunting in the mountains for wild boar to make a braised wild boar dish as a welcome feast for his little niece.

Ninth Lady Lin hurriedly stopped him, chuckling and scolding, “You always jump to conclusions. Where are you going to hunt wild boar at this hour? We’re having dumplings for dinner tonight, you can hunt tomorrow.”

“Yes, Ninth Uncle.”

Lin Qingluo smiled and chimed in, “It’s already late today. I’ll go with you tomorrow, and we’ll go hunting in the mountains together.”

“Great, my niece and I will hunt to our heart’s content in the mountains tomorrow!”

Upon hearing that, Ninth Uncle Lin’s eyes lit up, and he was in high spirits.

“We’ll come too!”

Lin Jinxu and Lin Jinzhou were also excited, secretly plotting to hunt some rare and exotic beasts to gift their little sister as pets.

Lin Qingluo’s eyes curved, “That’s great, my brothers will join too.”

Ninth Lady Lin interjected with a smile, “Qingluo brought some fresh peaches to pay respects to Fourth Grandfather. Let’s wash our hands, eat peaches first, and then have dinner.”

“Thank you, dear great-niece, for these precious peaches. Fourth Grandfather is sure they’ll be delicious.”

Fourth Master Lin became even happier, his beard almost curling up to the sky.

Lin Qingluo’s gaze was soft, “Once Fourth Grandfather has tasted the peaches and liked them, Qingluo will discuss important matters with him.”

“Alright!”

Upon hearing the words ‘important matters,’ Fourth Master Lin’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t help but think of the newly developed coal mines, filled with anticipation.

What kind of good fortune would his blessed great-niece bring to the impoverished soldiers and civilians of Beidi this time?

The Spirit Peaches were fragrant, sweet, and juicy, each bite filling their hearts with sweetness.

Fourth Master Lin ate with a beaming face, squinting his eyes in delight as he smacked his lips, thoroughly enjoying it.

Ninth Uncle Lin and his wife, as well as the two brothers, Lin Jinxu and Lin Jinzhou, were also captivated by the taste of the Spirit Peaches, praising them non-stop.

As the praise went on, it turned into customary flattery for their little sister Qingluo, making her not know whether to cry or laugh.

With the prelude of the Spirit Peaches, the cultivation of Spirit Rice was officially put on the agenda.

Fourth Master Lin had absolute faith in his beloved great-niece’s words, immediately approved the plan, and summoned experienced farmers to clear the land and promote the planting of Spirit Rice.

As they reached a consensus on the Spirit Rice matter, the dumplings were served.

Fourth Master Lin, in a good mood, sent Ninth Uncle Lin to fetch the wine in the cellar, wanting to drink and be merry.

Upon hearing the mention of wine, Ninth Uncle Lin’s spirits instantly soared, and he ran off in a flash.

Ninth Lady Lin’s gaze darkened slightly, as she rubbed her handkerchief in her hands, barely suppressing the urge to stop him.

“Ninth Aunt, Qingluo has Hangover Pills. If he gets drunk, he can take one, guaranteed not to cause trouble, and sleep soundly until dawn,” Lin Qingluo whispered into Ninth Lady’s ear with her clever thoughts and a beaming smile.

“Really?”

Ninth Lady’s eyes brightened instantly, looking at her with surprise and joy.

“Mm-hmm!”

Lin Qingluo smiled warmly, magically producing a bottle of Hangover Pills from her Storage Ring and putting them into Ninth Lady Lin’s hand.
