Chapter 106 Visiting the Chen Family
The Chen family prepared a sumptuous meal on the dinner table, most of which were dishes that Chen Xueru had bought specifically to entertain Lin Chen.
She doesn't care how much money she spends for the sake of her beloved's good food...
"Xiao Lin, come on, let's go."
"Okay, I'll toast to Uncle Chen."
Xue had just heard her husband talk about his situation, and now she was even more satisfied with Lin Chen, her future son-in-law. If it was a few years later, she might not be able to give birth to a son...
"Xiao Lin, how about you try some chicken? Xueru knew you were coming and went to the market to pick it out early in the morning."
Lin Chen smiled and nodded: "Okay Aunt Xue, you guys eat too!"
The Chen family was quite satisfied with this meal... Lin Chen then talked about his relationship with Minister Liu and Commander Wu of the Military Control Office, and revealed a little about his own network... This was also a reassurance to the Chen family.
Although he and Chen Xueru did not say anything explicitly about their relationship, everyone was smart and knew what he meant.
eight pm
Chen Xueru sent Lin Chen out alone...
Under the street light at the door
"Comrade Lin... Comrade Lin Chen, thank you for coming to check on my father's health."
Lin Chen saw that the other party suddenly became shy and teased him.
"Why don't you call me Chief Lin anymore?"
Before leaving the house, Chen Xueru had already received approval from her parents, who were very satisfied with Lin Chen. Now their relationship has taken another big step forward...
"You... you are so annoying, I'll give this to you..."
Chen Xueru has been able to embroider since she was a child. These days, she embroidered a silk handkerchief. There are two names on it...
Lin Chen looked at the handkerchief stuffed in his hand and was about to open it to take a look, but Chen Xueru told him to go home and look at it.
"Be careful on your way...come find me when you have time."
After saying that, Chen Xueru lowered her head and ran home with a smile on her face.
Lin Chen put the handkerchief in front of his nose, smelled it, and then put it into the space...
"Orchid scent! Next time I'll give you a body scent like this..."
……
Let’s talk about two things: the Nanluoguxiang courtyard.
Qin Huairu knew that Lin Chen would not come back for dinner, so the two sisters cooked early and ate first.
"Sister Huairu, isn't my brother-in-law coming back today?"
"Your brother-in-law is going to help his friend's family check up on their health today, so he won't be back for dinner... We don't have to wait for him. Are you used to going to school today?"
Xiao Jingru must like going to school in the city, it is much better than going to school in her village.
"The school is great. I'm in the same class with Yu Shui Ling Ling...so should I still sleep with Sister Huai Ru today?"
Qin Huairu thought about it and realized that the kang was much warmer here. The little girl couldn't keep the bed warm by herself...
"Okay, you're just a kid so it's okay even if your brother-in-law comes back. But can you sleep in the innermost quilt by yourself?"
Qin Jingru nodded. She also slept with her parents at home. There was only one kang at home. If people didn't squeeze together, they would freeze to death in winter.
The two sisters were chatting and laughing while eating dinner, which was in stark contrast to the deaf old lady next door.
Because the deaf old lady is very unhappy today...
Since Second Aunt is the only one taking care of her now, she won't help her heat the kang and cook until she finishes the Liu family's affairs.
He Daqing hadn't sent her any good food for a week, and Yi Zhonghai hadn't sent any today either...
The old woman cursed to herself: "You are all heartless bastards. You are all ungrateful. I protected you all in vain in the early years... Now you have grown wings and don't even recognize who I am."
……
When Lin Chen returned home, most people in the yard were already asleep.
When we passed by the Intermediate Court, Jia Dongxu and his wife were still awake...
The couple was chatting happily when Lin Chen coughed lightly at the door of Jia's house and left.
When Jia Dongxu heard the noise, he thought someone was eavesdropping again, so he tiptoed off the kang and rushed out with a door-bar in his hand.
"Look! I'm going to beat up all you little bastards..."
As a result, when he came out, there was no one in sight.
"Hey, where's the weird guy? Wasn't that the one who was laughing just now?"
Back to the house
"Lan Zi, did you hear who it was just now?"
Ma Lan felt that it was Lin Chen in the backyard, but she was not sure.
"Is it Lin Chen? But a cadre like him shouldn't come here to eavesdrop..."
The couple became confused...
"do not care……"
……
When Lin Chen arrived at the door of his house, Qin Huairu heard the sound of a bicycle parking and hurriedly got off the kang to open the door for him.
"Your brother-in-law is back, hurry in."
Qin Jingru rolled up her quilt and moved in. When she was at home, her mother always let her sleep next to her. Why couldn't the three of them squeeze together now? Wouldn't it be warmer that way?
After Lin Chen entered the room, Qin Huairu asked anxiously.
"How's it going?"
Lin Chen nodded and smiled: "Everything is going well, go back to the kang and don't freeze."
Qin Huairu hesitated and looked into the inner room.
"I was afraid Jingru would be cold, so I asked her to sleep on the kang as well. You...if you want to do it, you have to wait until she falls asleep."
Lin Chen also looked towards the inner room and chuckled.
"The child is fine. She will be asleep soon. Let her sleep in her own crib when it gets warmer... In winter, let her sleep on the kang with us."
……
When Lin Chen finished washing up and came to the bedroom, little Jingru hid under the quilt and didn't dare to show her little head out.
Qin Huairu smiled and turned off the lights...
"I was just talking to me about school, but now I feel embarrassed when I see you're back."
"You're still shy now, but you'll get used to it!"
After the light bulb was turned off, little Jingru slowly poked her head out.
Lin Chen lay down and looked inside...
"Jingru, if someone bullies you at school, you must tell your sister and me, okay? Your brother-in-law will teach them a lesson for you..."
"Yes, I know...Brother-in-law, have you drunk any alcohol? Are you thirsty...If you are thirsty, I will get you some water at night."
Lin Chen and Qin Huairu both smiled. They didn’t expect that such a young child could have such good sense.
"Go to sleep! Just have your sister pour me some water. You're still young..."
Lin Chen raised his hand and took his wife into his arms...
In the middle of the night, dazed little Jingru rolled up in her quilt and squeezed next to her cousin...
Qin Huairu, who was so tired that she collapsed, didn't care. She even covered her cousin with a blanket in a daze.
"Lin Chen, I'm sleepy. Wake up at night and check on Jingru. Don't let her kick off the quilt..."
"Well, go to sleep! I'll watch over you..."
……
Early next morning
Qianmen Chen's Silk Shop
Xue personally helped her man put on his clothes...
"Lin Chen is indeed a miracle doctor. He can cure my sister's leg disease. Your hidden disease is also cured now... Xueru will not suffer any loss if she follows him in the future. The commander of the Sijiu City Military Control Office requires him to treat illnesses every year. What do we have to be afraid of..."
After hearing this, Chen Xueru's father nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, who in the world is not afraid of getting sick? As for Lin Chen's cooking skills, they are really good. Our daughter's vision is not wrong... Let her be!"
Xue nodded and accepted this son-in-law. She was already planning to teach her daughter how to serve a man after she got married.
Now, no matter what, the couple's biggest worry has been solved. If they hurry up now, there is still hope of having another son...
