571: Chapter 570: What’s So Heretical About It!
Hearing the barking of dogs outside and Lin Fang’s scolding, the people inside knew soone had arrived.
Soon the door was pushed open, and not just Lin Aiguo, but also Lin Aiye’s family, Yu Changbai’s family—they all rushed out in a big crowd.
Lin Aiguo took a few excited steps forward and, with trembling lips, said, “You’ve co!
Co inside quickly!”
It had been several years since these children had celebrated the New Year with them.
This year, the Lin Family could finally celebrate a reunion New Year, and his heart was filled with imasurable joy and emotion.
Seeing the expression on Lin Aiguo’s face, Lin Xia actually felt a ripple of sothing different in her heart.
But she told herself not to be fooled by these surface things.
Think more about the mother who had passed away, think more about those past days.
The things Lin Aiguo had done in the past were not sothing that could be wiped away with so shivering actions or a few tears.
Besides, who knew what he would be like in the future?
While Lin Chun and the others were busy greeting everyone, Lin Xia was a bit cold.
Seeing so many people standing at the door, Lin Aiguo, knowing it wasn’t the place for conversation, quickly called out to them, “Why talk here at the door where it’s cold?
Co inside!”
“Right!
Right!!
Hurry inside!!” Liu Shuqin also hurriedly ushered people inside.
Thus, everyone filed into the house one after another.
It was Lin Chun and the others’ first visit, and they found everything new and interesting.
But it was different for Lin Xia; although there were so changes from her previous life, the main layout of the house remained the sa.
For a place that felt both unfamiliar and familiar where she had lived, her heart was a mix of emotions.
The layout of Lin Aiguo’s new house had the living room right after entering.
In one corner of the living room was a double iron-fra bed, beside which stood a round table covered with a plaid quilt folded in several layers, and the scattered playing cards indicated that they had just been playing poker.
With so many people gathered in the living room, naturally, so sat while others stood.
Yu Hongli slapped Lin Chun’s shoulder happily, “Why did you guys only arrive now?
I ca back from the city with your sister-in-law yesterday!”
Lin Chun reciprocated with a jest, “I had to work a shift at the unit yesterday!
Plus, Xiaoxia’s shop is so busy, yesterday the custors were so packed we couldn’t push through!
If it weren’t for the thought of coming back today for the New Year, we could have sold a lot more this morning!”
ntioning this made Lin Chun secretly regretful.
Even though the shop was his younger sister’s, he also treated it as his own business; who wants to push money away?
Yu Hongli agreed, “That’s really a pity!” He paused and swiftly changed the subject, “But it’s the New Year now!
If we earn less, so be it!
Just consider it a rest!”
Then he looked at Lin Xia, “Right?
Lin Xia!”
Lin Xia smiled and nodded, “Brother Hongli is right!” She had a good impression of Hongli, so she was willing to talk with him.
Hearing Lin Xia say this, Yu Hongli’s smile grew even wider.
Lin Aiye’s family looked at their friendly conversation with flickering eyes, feeling sowhat uncomfortable.
They were all relatives, and even shared the Lin surna, yet why was there such a big difference?
Lin Gang shifted his gaze; Lin Dong was still in school, so he couldn’t really force him, but Lin Chun was working, and playing a few gas was normal.
As Lin Xia was so good at making money, Lin Chun would certainly have money in his pocket during the New Year; no matter what, he had to win so of it for spending.
Without any hesitation, Lin Gang stepped forward, grabbed Lin Chun’s arm, and spoke enthusiastically, “Lin Chun!
It’s the New Year and we finally get together, let’s play a few rounds!”
Lin Chun didn’t want to play cards, knowing that soone who hardly ever played like him couldn’t possibly outplay soone like Lin Gang, who played often.
So he made excuses, “You guys play!
I don’t know how!”
“What’s there not to know?
It’s just playing Digging Big Pits!
You’ll get it after a couple of rounds!” Lin Gang pulled Lin Chun toward the card table.
Yu Changbai also persuaded Lin Chun at this ti, “Lin Chun!
It’s New Year’s, loosen up and play a few rounds!”
If it had been Lin Gang, Lin Chun wouldn’t care about his face and would definitely refuse all the way.
But since his uncle Yu Changbai had spoken, he couldn’t snub his face, so Lin Chun had no choice but to sit down and play cards with them.
Luo Yue, wearing Yu Hongli’s big cotton coat, held Lin Xia’s hand with a cheerful smile, “Are you cold?”
“Not really!
Did all my aunts arrive?
Are they getting used to it there?” Lin Xia was already able to adapt to Luo Yue’s closeness.
From Yu Hongli’s standpoint, Luo Yue was her cousin-in-law, and from Lu Zheng’s, she was her elder aunt.
“They’ve arrived!
My mom said it’s quite warm there, not as cold as our ho!
She also says she’s having a bit of trouble getting used to the food,” Luo Yue suggested, “How about we go to the inner bedroom and stay there?”
There were n smoking, and she couldn’t stand the sll of smoke at all because of her pregnancy.
Lin Xia noticed Luo Yue covering her mouth from ti to ti, clearly uncomfortable, and readily nodded, “Alright!”
Once everyone got into the bedroom, Luo Yue took off her shoes to climb onto the kang bed, and she also called for Lin Xia, “Lin Xia!
Get up on the kang!
Are your feet cold?”
“I’m fine!
The cotton shoes are thick!” Lin Xia sat directly on the edge of the kang without any intention of taking off her shoes and climbing onto the kang.
Lin Qiu did the sa, sitting obediently next to Lin Xia.
Lin Dong dragged a stool over to sit next to the stove wall, looking around observantly.
Lin Aijia, with an apron tied around her waist and sleeves rolled up as if ready to work, entered the room with a cheerful smile.
Seeing Lin Xia sitting without taking off her shoes, she couldn’t help but urge, “Lin Xia!
Even if the cotton shoes are thick, they’re still cold!
Take off your shoes and warm up on the kang.
“And Lin Qiu too, you’re at your own maternal ho, what’s there to be shy about?
It’s a good chance to chat with your sister-in-law!”
Lin Aijia treated her niece Lin Xia quite differently.
The daughter-in-law who was now pregnant, she treated like a goddess to be worshipped.
In the end, Lin Xia and Lin Qiu were pulled onto the kang by Lin Aijia and Luo Yue, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law duo.
Lin Fang, who had been specially called into the room by Zhang Lanxiang, was nudged by her and at the sa ti subtly given a look to learn from Luo Yue and get on good terms with Lin Xia.
Lin Fang, after Zhang Lanxiang and Lin Aijia had gone to the kitchen to busily prepare the al, moved her lips intending to chi in, but unfortunately, Lin Xia and Luo Yue were having a lively exchange, and she couldn’t get a word in.
Actually, ever since she attended Lin Xia’s wedding and found out that Lin Xia’s so-called second brother didn’t have a partner, she was quite angry with Lin Xia.
If he didn’t have a partner, why did they have to deceive her?
However, with Lin Xia’s family coming back for the New Year this ti, she had been constantly reminded beforehand that she must get along well with Lin Xia and the others.
So, she suppressed that little bit of displeasure.
Only when Luo Yue felt a bit nauseous and covered her mouth, rushing to put on shoes and head to the kitchen, did Lin Fang finally get a chance to speak with Lin Xia, “Lin Xia!
You seem even prettier after getting married!”
She had to admit, even if she didn’t want to, that Lin Xia, after getting married, not only looked even more radiant but also exuded a strong sense of femininity.
And the clothes Lin Xia wore, as well as the leather boots on her feet, were all objects of envy for her.
It was a pity that with her salary, she had no idea how many months she would have to save to afford just one of those items.
Lin Xia tugged at the corner of her mouth, her eyes clear, “Really?
When do you go back to work, the third day?”
It was just a short chat, and she wasn’t stingy with it.
But, if Lin Fang was hoping for her help with anything, she wouldn’t agree to it…
