After hurriedly sending the cardboard box to the basement, Father Lin was finally relieved.
Returning upstairs, he patted his chest with lingering fear and sat on the sofa, preparing to make a cup of tea to calm his nerves.
He suddenly recalled that his tea tin was still in the kitchen and shook his head helplessly. Forget it.
He picked up the newspaper he had just gone downstairs and started reading.
Time passed bit by bit. With a buzz, Lin Yi walked out of the room with a tired expression.
However, as soon as he left the room, Lin Yi could not help but sniffle.
"What delicious food is Empress Dowager Ye cooking? Why is it so fragrant??"
Hearing his son's words, Father Lin immediately felt his heart aching. It was a pity that his new tea leaves had been used by his wife to cook tea eggs after drinking a few times. He did not know how many tea leaves she would use this time.
His heart ached, but he only said angrily, "Tea egg."
"Oh, I was wondering why there was a fragrance of tea leaves. Eh? Wait? You said that Empress Dowager Ye is cooking tea eggs??"
Hearing his father's words, Lin Yi did not take it seriously at first. As he walked towards the toilet, he nodded. However, he had just taken a few steps when his feet suddenly stopped.
Then, his pupils instantly dilated as he looked at his father who was reading the newspaper with an uncertain expression. At the same time, his heart skipped a beat.
Swoosh!
Turning the newspaper in his hand, Father Lin raised his eyes to look at his son who was making a fuss. He was immediately quite relieved. 'As expected of my son, he still knows how to feel sorry for me.'
"Sigh."
He returned his gaze to the newspaper and only sighed helplessly before ignoring Lin Yi.
It could not be helped. Who asked Empress Dowager Ye to be in charge of this family?
Looking at his father's helpless expression, Lin Yi could not help but gulp. Then, he looked in the direction of the kitchen with a complicated gaze and sighed in his mind.
"Sigh, the Imperial Dragon Well that others can't get more than a tael of is used to cook tea eggs at Mom's place… This is also a 'unique' experience."
Smelling the rich tea fragrance in the air, Lin Yi knew that it was too late to say anything.
Not only that, if he ran into the kitchen and told Empress Dowager Ye that the tea leaves you she to cook the tea eggs were worth nearly three million per tael, she might regret it and have a heart attack.
Forget it, forget it. It was not a big deal. Wasn't it just a few million dollars worth of tea leaves? As long as his mother was happy, so what if she burned it like firewood?
At most, he would get some Dragon Well Tea to decompose and make more.
To others, this Imperial Dragon Well was difficult to find, but to him, it was no different from ordinary tea leaves.
With this thought, Lin Yi was relieved. He walked into the bathroom and started to pee.
After he washed up and walked out, his mother had already walked out of the kitchen with a large basin of tea eggs in her hand.
"Heh, you have a dog's nose. You came out after I did it. Hurry up and eat it while it's hot."
Old Lin, who was sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper, hurriedly stood up and went to the kitchen. A moment later, he walked out with the tea tin with a pained expression.
Looking at his expression, Lin Yi did not need to ask to know that she had definitely used a large number of leaves.
In fact, there was no need to ask. It could be seen from the number of tea eggs.
"Look at how petty you are. Your heart ached when I just used a few tea leaves! If you feel sorry for your leaves, don't eat them."
Seeing Old Lin's pained expression, Empress Dowager Ye could not help but roll her eyes at him and scold him angrily.
Hearing Empress Dowager Ye's words, Old Lin squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying. Then, he ignored Empress Dowager Ye's expression and sat at the dining table to take a tea egg.
However, he sighed helplessly in his mind.
'What a joke. You're not letting me eat the eggs cooked from my tea leaves? Wouldn't that be too much? Sigh, but I can't keep too many tea leaves in this house in the future. It's safer to put these tea leaves at my workplace later.'
Looking at her husband, Empress Dowager Ye was amused.
"I think so. However, to be honest, Old Lin, these tea leaves you bought are amazing. This fragrance is much better than those tea leaves in the past. Why don't you stop drinking this tea and leave it in the kitchen to cook the tea eggs? Go buy another can later for yourself."
Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!
After Empress Dowager Ye finished speaking, Lin Yi, who was picking up a tea egg to peel, immediately choked on his saliva and coughed.
Uh, good lord, how could tea leaves worth three million per tael not smell good…?
She reached out and placed the peeled tea egg on her son's plate, then berated angrily, "We're eating. What's wrong with you? Next time, don't cough at the dining table! Here, eat a fried ham sausage and two eggs. Give me 100 points on the test tomorrow!"
"Pfft, Empress Dowager Ye, can you not be so superstitious? Ever since I was young, you've always given me this before every test. Look at when I've ever scored 100 points… Moreover, the college entrance examination subjects tomorrow are all 150 points. Are you sure you want me to get 100 points??"
Crack!
As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, he was slapped on the back by Empress Dowager Ye. Then, he heard her roar, "Why do you have so much nonsense? You even learned to talk back, right? Are you itching for a beating?"
As she spoke, Empress Dowager Ye even rolled up her sleeves, looking like she would beat him if he said anything.
Immediately, Lin Yi was terrified. He helplessly shrunk his neck and hurriedly lowered his head to eat the tea egg in front of him. When Father Lin saw this, he could not help but purse his lips and laugh.
However, when Empress Dowager Ye saw this, she glared. Father Lin suppressed his laughter and innocently raised the half-eaten tea egg in his hand. "Cough, cough. This tea egg is delicious today…"
Although he knew that his father was praising Empress Dowager Ye, the corners of Lin Yi's mouth could not help but twitch when he heard this. He wanted to tell Old Lin that if he ate this, he would at least lose a few tens of thousands of dollars. How could it not taste good…
Looking at the father and son who had their heads buried in the bowl in front of them, Empress Dowager Ye could not help but laugh. To an ordinary housewife, this was the happiest thing.
After breakfast, Old Lin brought the tea leaves to the unit. Of course, to not burden his parents, Lin Yi did not say the value of this can of tea.
Because the college entrance examination was tomorrow, Empress Dowager Ye had taken leave and planned to accompany her son today. No matter how much Lin Yi objected, it was useless.
However, what Lin Yi did not expect was that as Old Lin brought this can of tea leaves to his workplace, it caused some interesting things to happen…
