Two days later, Liu Dashan was laid to rest.

The paper money was burned in front of the tomb, and the three daughters-in-law kowtowed in front of the tomb.

These days, Lin Xiao has been with them all the time, giving them meticulous care.

In the early morning of the third day, Lin Xiao woke up on his kang.

It was just dawn outside the window, and the sound of the system appeared in my mind.

[Ding, congratulations to the host, the partner intimacy value has increased by 10 points (Su Xinyue 8 points, Leng Qingxue 1 point, Shangguan Feiyan 1 point)]

[Get the blue entry: Those who wish take the bait]

[Effect: When the host engages in fishing activities, the probability of hooking is increased by 50%, and is not affected by weather seasons]

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment and then smiled.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, although the lake surface is not frozen, the fish are hiding in deep water, making it extremely difficult to catch the bait.

This entry comes at the perfect time.

He stood up and put on his clothes and wiped his face with cold water.

In the bronze mirror, the wrinkled face can still vaguely see the handsome outline of his youth.

At this moment, Lin Xiao looks like an old Audi A8, but as a saying goes, the old A8 is also an A8.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Uncle Lin, are you awake?" Su Xinyue's voice came outside the door, as soft as snow.

Lin Xiao opened the door.

In the morning light, she was dressed in a plain white dress, with her hair simply pulled up and no makeup, yet she was shockingly beautiful.

There is frost on the eyelashes, and the tip of the nose is slightly red.

"Uncle Lin, I made porridge. You can go and eat some. You have worked hard these days."

"It's not hard."

Later, Lin Xiao followed Su Xinyue to Liu's house.

There are still traces of the mourning hall in the main hall of the Liu family. The white candles have been removed, but the smell of paper ash still lingers in the air.

On the broken wooden table were a basin of gruel, three grain steamed buns, and a plate of pickles and dumplings.

Su Xinyue was a little embarrassed: "It's a lean year now, and the family doesn't have much food...Lin Bomo shouldn't despise the simple food."

"It would be nice to have something warm." Lin Xiao sat down at the table.

Shangguan Feiyan and Leng Qingxue also took their seats.

Feiyan lowered her head to drink her porridge without even looking at Lin Xiao.

Qingxue stammered, covering her mouth and coughing lightly from time to time, her face paler than the previous two days.

After a simple breakfast, Lin Xiao got up and said, "I'm going to go to the lake to see if I can catch two fish."

Su Xinyue's eyes brightened: "Fishing? Can I catch it this season?"

"Try your luck." Lin Xiao smiled.

"Can I learn from you?" Su Xinyue was suddenly very interested.

Lin Xiao glanced at her: "Want to learn?"

Su Xinyue nodded vigorously, then took out a dusty fishing rod from the back room and said, "This is what dad used to use and has always kept it. Now at home... I have to find a way to add more food."

She said it tactfully, but Lin Xiao understood.

With the little food the Liu family has in stock, the three girls won't be able to survive for long.

"I'll go too!" Shangguan Feiyan suddenly stood up and stared at Lin Xiao warily, "Sister Su goes to the lake with him alone. It's too dangerous and I don't trust you!"

"Feiyan!" Su Xinyue frowned, her voice a little colder, "Stop talking nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Shangguan Feiyan glared at Lin Xiao, her eyes clearly saying: Old man, do you dare to try this?

Lin Xiao smiled and didn't answer.

Su Xinyue's face was full of apologies: "Uncle Lin, my sister...has some misunderstandings about you, please don't be offended."

"It doesn't matter." Lin Xiao waved his hand, "A horse's power can be seen from a distance, and a person's heart can be seen from time to time."

Su Xinyue turned around and told Leng Qingxue: "Qingxue, you two take care of your home. Uncle Lin and I will go and come back."

The weather is nice today, the snow is melting and the mountain roads are a bit slippery.

Su Xinyue held up the hem of her skirt and carefully followed Lin Xiao.

Several times, he slipped and almost fell, but Lin Xiao held him in time.

The third time, she almost fell into Lin Xiao's arms.

"Be careful." Lin Xiao held her steady and put his hand on her elbow.

Su Xinyue blushed to her ears: "Thank you, Uncle Lin."

Lin Xiao retracted his hand, and the soft touch still remained on his palm.

My heart actually beat a little faster.

[Intimacy value +3 (Su Xinyue)]

The lake is quiet and deserted.

The lake is clear and not frozen, but the air is cold.

Lin Xiao chose a large rock with leeward direction, took out some dry cow dung from the bamboo cage, mixed it with wet mud, and kneaded it into a ball.

"This is..." Su Xinyue covered her nose.

"Make a nest." Lin Xiao threw the mud ball into the deep water, "Fish like this taste."

Su Xinyue was doubtful, so she followed his example, sat down a little further away, and tried to throw the pole.

His movements were unfamiliar, and the fishhook only flew less than a foot and fell into the water with a splash.

"Use your wrists hard, don't swing them with your arms." Lin Xiao walked behind her.

He hugged her weakly and put his hand on her hand holding the pole: "In this way, bring it back, and then send it forward -"

The fishing rod drew an arc, and the fishhook flew more than two feet away and gently entered the water.

Su Xinyue's whole body froze.

The man's warm breath was behind her ear, and his rough palm completely wrapped her hand.

She could smell the faint scent of soap on Lin Xiao's body, mixed with the crisp winter air.

In more than 20 years, except for her father, no man has ever been so close to her.

"Already okay?" Lin Xiao let go of his hand and took half a step back.
