Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1387 - 206. Delivering the Bundle (In the Dead of Night)

After who knows how long, another little boy came running out, holding up his pants, but this time he didn’t rush to the outhouse. Instead, upon seeing the big bundle that had mysteriously appeared in the courtyard, he first froze, then loudly called out, "Uncle, Aunt, come out quick, someone left something at our place!"

Lin Jiazhong and Lady Ma were awakened by his shouting, shuffling outside in their shoes to see what was the matter, and even Lady Yang from the North Room joined them.

The three of them stared at the bundle in the courtyard, dumbfounded. At first, they had misunderstood the child’s cry, thinking that something thrown away meant someone had tossed something into their yard, and Lin Jiazhong even scolded Lady Ma, blaming her for forgetting to latch the door again.

But when they went out, they realized the ’dropped something’ didn’t mean tossed away; it was genuinely left behind.

Who would run to their courtyard to drop something off? This bundle was clearly delivered by someone.

While the three of them were thinking, the two children had already opened the bundle. On the very top were two sets of identical little boy’s clothes, and they compared them—hey, they fit just right!

Beneath those were several bolts of cloth in different colors—black, purple, a coupling color, and jujube red—all rather subdued shades, perfect for Lady Yang and the others to make clothes from.

In addition to the cloth and clothes, there was a smaller bundle inside, containing some fruit and pastries. The two little boys had never seen such tasty-looking treats; they couldn’t help but salivate.

But no matter how tempted they were, neither of them reached for the little paper-wrapped packages. Instead, they looked up to Lin Jiazhong and Lady Ma, seeking their permission.

Seeing the things before them, and putting together the pieces about the family who had returned from the Capital city today, how could Lin Jiazhong and the others not understand?

Lady Ma’s nose tingled, and she turned her body away.

While Lin Jiazhong’s face also showed embarrassment, his heart was anything but calm.

Lady Yang knew these two were feeling uncomfortable, and felt even more embarrassed herself, so she didn’t bother them.

"Come on, take them and eat," Lady Yang said, pushing the pastries into the hands of the two little boys, her gaze warm and tender as she watched them, feeling both happy and gratified inside. freewebnoveℓ.com

The boys took the pastries, licking their lips, but they didn’t immediately eat. They noticed that Uncle and Aunt’s expressions were off, and they looked expectantly at Lin Jiazhong and his wife.

Seeing how sensible the two children were, Lady Ma felt an even deeper pain. If only she hadn’t spoiled Lin Yongcheng and Lin Yongle so much, would they not have ended up in such a tragic situation?

Lin Jiazhong patted their heads, smiling, "Eat up, and after you’re finished, go thank your Second Uncle and Aunt."

Lady Ma also wiped away tears and forced a smile, squatting down to help the boys open the little packages: "Go on, eat. Your Sister Yuanyuan is very skilled; it tastes even better than what Aunt makes!"

Finally, the two little boys joyfully took a bite of the pastries, and didn’t forget to share with each of the three from Lady Yang’s family.

Lin Yongxi sweetly said to Lady Ma, laughing, "Aunt, I think your cooking is the best; I love Aunt’s dishes the most!"

Meanwhile, Lin Yonghe, his mouth stuffed with sweets, snorted, pouted, and said, "You’re just a charmer, aren’t you? Then why do you always fuss over meals and never finish eating? You always say... Ah! I haven’t gone to the outhouse yet! Agh, I can’t hold it in!"

"Ha ha, dummy, did you wet your pants? Ha ha ha ha."

Lin Yongxi laughed so hard he was bent double while Lady Ma looked on helplessly as an ’H’ was quickly scribbled on Lin Yonghe’s trousers, wordlessly facepalming.

Lady Ma led Lin Yonghe to change his pants while Lin Jiazhong moved the fabric sent by the Lin family into the North Room where Lady Yang slept.

According to Lady Yang, the fabric was supposed to be taken to Lady Ma, but Lin Jiazhong disagreed, insisting that such fine fabric should be for Lady Yang to wear. Lady Ma, who was no longer as petty as before and hadn’t had new clothes for a long time, surprisingly had no intention of keeping the fabric for herself and agreed to have it sent to Lady Yang’s room.

Feeling content, Lady Yang eyed Lady Ma, who was leading Lin Yonghe, and decided to take advantage of the fact that she was still able to work by making new clothes for both Lady Ma and Lin Jiazhong.

After changing into new clothes and eating several sweets, Lin Yonghe and Lin Yongxi, accompanied by Lady Ma with sugar cakes and brown sugar buns, went to the Lin family. They used to play with their friends in the village often, so they naturally knew where Aunt Yang’s second brother’s home was.

When the twins arrived, Lin Yuan had just woken up from a nap and was chatting with Xia Zheng in the cool shade of the courtyard.

At the first glance of the twins, Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up. No wonder Lady Ma couldn’t tell them apart, look at these two boys, they were practically carved out of the same mold, not only did they look alike, but even their height and posture were the same. And those eyes, full of curiosity looking this way—my, how had she not realized how adorable the twins were before!

Xia Zheng was clearly charmed by the two children, beckoning them with a wave, "Are you two the twins from over there?"

From over there?

Lin Yongxi and Lin Yonghe blinked in confusion.

Lin Yuan quickly nudged Xia Zheng’s arm and gave him a slight glare, then pulled the boy closer to her and said with a smile, "Yeah, these two are the kids from my third uncle’s family. Hey, what’s your name? Hm! Let sister guess!"

Upon hearing Lin Yuan wanted to guess, the boy looked stunned, but the one next to Xia Zheng’s eyes shone brightly.

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, turning to the boy by her side, she said, "I got it, you’re Dahe, and that one is Daxi, right?"

Lin Yonghe was taken aback and nodded subconsciously.

Lin Yongxi, however, shouted, "No!"

But no matter how much he argued, Lin Yonghe had already earnestly nodded, leaving him feeling quite stifled.

Stifled as he was, Lin Yongxi was very curious, Lin Jiazhong and Lady Ma had been with them for nearly half a year and still couldn’t tell which one was which, so how had this sister who had just met them figured it out?

As he puzzled over it and asked, Lin Yuan pulled him into an embrace with a chuckle, telling him, "It’s all in the eyes!"

The eyes?

The two youngsters didn’t understand.

Lin Yuan explained further, "Dahe is honest, so his gaze is honest as well. But Daxi, you have a more mischievous heart, and your eyes are always rolling around. Usually, it doesn’t show, but the moment I said I would guess who’s who, Daxi immediately thought to trick me while Dahe didn’t. That’s how I distinguished between you two."
