Chapter 209 Liu Haizhong longs to be an official, and Lin Chen returns to the courtyard.
Courtyard house
At the Lin family's dinner table
Liu Lan told Qin Huairu and Bai Ling that Liu Guangqi, who lived next door, had been trying to talk to her on purpose these days...
"Sister Huairu, what's going on with Liu Haizhong's family next door? You've already made it clear to the people in the courtyard that I have an in-law family, so why don't they take care of their own son?"
Qin Huairu and Bai Ling looked at each other and laughed: "That stupid boy didn't do anything out of line, did he?"
Liu Lan shook her head: "Not really! I just giggled when I saw him. Ignore him but he still has the nerve to talk to me."
Bai Ling smiled and patted Liu Lan's hand: "I will go and remind the Liu family individually tomorrow. If they still don't give up, then you, Brother Lin Chen, will have to solve it."
Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Who made our Lanzi so easy to give birth to... Who wouldn't want to marry her?"
"Oh, Sister Huairu, you are laughing at me again... I... I don't want to be like this either."
……
Early next morning
When Bai Ling got up to wash up, she waited for the second aunt to go out...
"Sister-in-law, wait a minute, I have something to tell you..."
When the second aunt heard the director calling her, she immediately came forward happily.
"Director Bai, if you have something to say, I'm listening!"
Bai Ling didn't want the Xu family in the west room to hear her so she lowered her voice.
"Second sister-in-law, I want to talk about Liu Lan. Although she is still a few months away from age, she has indeed been engaged and will get married next year. You should remind your Guangqi... Otherwise, if there is any unhappiness in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you."
After hearing this, the second aunt's heart immediately sank. The couple loved the eldest son the most... so they just let him pursue and didn't intervene. And her son also made a lot of excuses... Now it seems that Liu Lan really doesn't like her son.
"Hey, thank you Director Bai for reminding me. I will tell Guangqi when I get back. Please help pass on the message that we will discipline Huairu and make sure she doesn't get angry."
"I'll pass it on. Huairu asked me to remind you. After all, we're neighbors. If things get too awkward, it won't look good on Master Liu."
Bai Ling turned around and went back to the house. Anyway, I have already told you. If you still don't listen... then I can only let Lin Chen deal with it. He is not kidding when he is so protective of his food...
……
The second aunt didn't even bother to fetch water and hurried back to the house to report the incident.
Originally, Liu Haizhong was told by his eldest son that marrying Liu Lan would allow him to get together with Lin Chen and Bai Ling, so he was very supportive of this matter...
Liu Haizhong, who had just woken up, looked unhappy when he heard what his wife said.
"If I were the workshop director, we would be a good match, and Qin Huairu would definitely agree to this. But now, people don't think highly of me as a level 4 worker... Forget it, if it doesn't work, then it doesn't work! It's nothing big..."
The first thing Liu Haizhong thought of was that he was not a cadre. If he were at the same level as Lin Chen... the Lin family would definitely agree to this matter.
"Old Liu, you want your son to change his target."
Liu Haizhong sighed: "What else can I do? I, Old Liu, have nowhere to display my skills, which is such a pity! I was counting on Bai Ling to promote me, but now it seems that this is not going to be easy!"
When the second aunt saw that her husband looked unhappy, she immediately left to make breakfast... otherwise it would not be worth it to get beaten later.

Majiabao Railway Station
Lin Chen took Liang Ladi off the train.
"It's a bit cold in Sijiu City, put on your scarf!"
Lin Chen cared for Liang Ladi as she tidied her scarf. This week was the happiest and most joyful week for Liang Ladi since she was a child.
"Well, I'm going to play at the front door. You can take the luggage back!"
"Go ahead! I'll go see your sister Huairu first, and you take them all to Xia's Hutong."
After the discussion, the two waved to each other and parted.
Lin Chen disappeared into a deserted corner carrying two bags, and reappeared in Nanluoguxiang. He also exchanged the things in his hands for some local specialties...
"Brother Lin is back from his business trip! He's been gone for almost a week, right?"
"Yes, sister-in-law, it's been a week. Try the sugar-roasted chestnuts I brought back..."
The three aunties happily took a handful of chestnuts, and Lin Chen naturally took little Jie Di in his arms...
"Not bad, not bad. My niece has grown a lot after not seeing her for a few days."
The three aunts couldn't tell even though they saw each other every day, but Lin Chen knew it after just one glance...
Lin Chen greeted the women in the courtyard as he hurried home...
Ma Lan also got some roasted chestnuts, which she put directly into her pocket so as not to let Jia Zhang see them.
Gao looked at Lin Chen and seemed to be hesitant to speak... She couldn't delay learning from Bai about birth control any longer, and Yi Zhonghai had been getting impatient these days...
backyard
Qin Huairu and Liu Lan got up in a hurry after hearing the noise outside the door...
"Sister Huairu, Brother Lin Chen is back!"
"Don't worry, stay calm. He's your brother-in-law. You have to keep your distance from him when you leave this room. Do you understand? You are different from Jingru..."
Liu Lan smiled and nodded, saying that everything would be fine as long as they stayed inside the house.
Qin Huairu's eyes turned red after Lin Chen entered the room. She had just asked Liu Lan to calm herself down, but when she saw Lin Chen coming back, her eyes were already wet with excitement. This was the first time they had been apart for so long since they got married... Qin Huairu missed her man more than anyone else.
Lin Chen walked up to the two of them with a smile, and Liu Lan hurriedly took the things from his hand.
Lin Chen gently held Qin Huairu in his arms...Qin Huairu hugged her man's waist tightly.
As soon as Liu Lan turned around after putting her things away, Lin Chen winked at her. Liu Lan smiled with her hands covering her mouth and straightened her chest for him...
"Okay, I'm back now. Let me sit down and drink some water!"
Qin Huairu wiped the corners of her eyes and reacted quickly.
"Hurry, hurry, sit down and take a rest!"
Liu Lan had already poured a cup of hot tea and was waiting for her.
After taking two sips of tea, Lin Chen pretended to take Qin Huairu's pulse... to see the condition of the baby in her belly.
Two minutes later, Lin Chen nodded with satisfaction.
"Everything is normal, the little guy is healthy."
Qin Huairu was delighted after hearing this: "That's great, Brother Lin Chen, are you going back to the factory today? Or will you go to work tomorrow..."
"I'll go to work tomorrow and stay at home with you today."
Qin Huairu and Liu Lan looked at each other and said: "After lunch, you should go to the front gate to take a look! Xueru Huizhen and the others are probably in the same mood as me... I can't serve you at night, so let them..."
Liu Lan lowered her head and smiled after hearing this...
Lin Chen thought about how excited his wife was just now, she was almost crying, a little separation is better than a new marriage! How could he just leave a pregnant woman behind...
"How about this! After lunch, let's say I'll take you back to the countryside. You can go to Xiajia Hutong and stay there for a few days... Leave Jingru to Bai's care tonight, and she'll take good care of her. I'll pick her up after school tomorrow, Saturday..."
Liu Lan nodded to Qin Huairu. She wanted to go so badly. Qin Huairu wanted to go too!
"Yeah, that's it... I haven't seen them for a few days."
