Chapter 895 Son inherits father’s legacy
Year
Lin Chen stretched and prepared to get off the bed... Chen Xueru was still half hanging on him in a daze... Her tender white arms tightly hugged Lin Chen.
Lin Chen gently moved her hands and feet away and left quietly...
The snow outside has weakened, but small snowflakes are still floating.
"Why the hell are they sitting here? They don't leave early or late, but only on New Year's Day."
Lin Chen took a quick look and left Guanhu Garden complaining...
Qianmen Langfang Hutong
When Lin Chen arrived, Lao Zheng had already stood up to post the couplets...
"Happy New Year, Director Lin!"
"Morning, Uncle Zheng! Juanzi isn't awake yet!"
Old Zheng put down what he was holding and hurriedly invited Lin Chen into the house.
"Your aunt is putting on a new cotton coat for her. She knew you were coming to pick her up today... She woke up at dawn and is now waiting for you to pick her up."
back room
Liu was braiding Juanzi's pigtails...she had already put on new cotton clothes and new cotton shoes.
"Mom, Brother Chen is here to pick me up! Hurry up!"
Xiao Juanzi urged her mother in a baby voice...
"Okay, okay, don't worry, it will be done soon..."
The little one that Lin Chen sent three years ago, the Zhengs like her more and more. They take care of her like their own daughter...
Lin Chen takes care of all the food, drink, and defecation of the baby, so Mr. and Mrs. Zheng can be said to be blessed with this adopted daughter.
After a few minutes
Xiao Juanzi ran out. She hadn’t seen Lin Chen for a week... She ran towards him headfirst.
"Brother Chen, let's go!"
After Lin Chen picked up the little guy, he said, "Aunt, we will be back after we finish the meal."
The old couple chuckled and put a cotton hat on Xiaojuanzi.
"Okay, okay, last time you came to deliver New Year's supplies... Tiantian Nizi kept asking when you would come to take her to the table. You guys go ahead and be careful because the road is slippery."
Just like that, Lin Chen happily brought Xiao Juanzi back to the courtyard...
Lin Chen had already thought of an excuse, and if someone asked, he would say that she was Qin Huairu's cousin.
A four-year-old child who no one paid any attention to...
……
Under the organization of Liu Haizhong and Yang Laosan, the entire courtyard was mobilized again...
They will eat at the banquet regardless of weather conditions.
In just one hour, the middle courtyard was cleaned up...
In the kitchen, Sha Zhu and Nan Yi also agreed to each take a small chicken drumstick...
Now that Nan Yi has a wife, he has become more flexible. And in order to please Ma Lan, Sha Zhu plans to secretly leave the chicken leg for her.
Today is New Year's Eve
On the surface, no one is targeting each other, but what they think of you in their hearts may not be clear...
Although Qin Huairu is not coming back, Xiao Yufang, Xu Lingling, He Yushui, and the Qiao sisters still have to come back. Otherwise, people will be suspicious of them. How can they not be at home during the Chinese New Year?
"Third brother, you can do it! Aren't you cold?"
Yang Laosan took out all his treasured Zhongshan suits today... As soon as Lin Chen saw them, he teased him about whether he was cold.
Yang Laosan smiled and handed Lin Chen a cigarette.
"It's not cold, I'm wearing a woolen sweater underneath... Brother Lin, who is this little girl you're holding?"
The girl was fair and tender, and had a pretty face... Her big eyes were blinking. Yang Laosan couldn't help but become curious...
"My cousin from Aunt Huairu's family insisted on coming with me, so I had no choice but to bring her along... You go about your business, I'll take her to the backyard and hand her over to Lingling and the others. It's a bit cold outside..."
She is whoever Lin Chen says she is, and no one else cares about the little girl's origins.
Xiao Juanzi was already four years old and could remember things when Lin Chen brought her out to see the world. Slowly she integrated into the big family...
……
backyard
When Lin Chen came over, Yan Jiefang was helping him put up couplets... This was also arranged by the third aunt early in the morning.
"Happy New Year, Uncle Lin!"
"Well, did your mother arrange for you to come here..."
Yan Jiefang smiled and nodded. It was indeed his mother who arranged for him to post Spring Festival couplets for the Lin and Bai families.
Seeing that Bai’s family had already pasted it, Lin Chen gave him fifty cents.
"Take it back and report to your father. We won't take advantage of him."
Yan Jiefang quickly waved his hand to refuse. When he came, the third aunt arranged not to take Lin Chen's money. However, Yan Bugui arranged for her son, so Lin Chen could take it if he insisted.
Lin Chen stuffed the money directly into the young man's pocket and said with a smile: "Take it! It's not easy to take advantage of your father, and I won't take advantage of him either... It's better to buy Spring Festival couplets with money."
The young man had no choice but to continue...
"Thank you, Uncle Lin. Do you think my post is okay?"
Lin Chen nodded with satisfaction...
"I'll go to the Central Court to help after I'm done, and have a good meal during the New Year."
After returning home, Lin Chen handed Xiao Juanzi to Xu Lingling and the others, and went to the central courtyard.
Qin Huairu didn't come back, but brought back a little cousin... Now we have to calm down those who want to gossip. If there are really any ignorant people, just give them a few beatings!
……
In the kitchen
Ma Lan quietly took away the chicken leg that Sha Zhu left for her. He Daqing glared at his son and Ma Lan and continued to busy himself.
The son follows in his father's footsteps, and He Daqing is helpless about Sha Zhu's behavior... It's his own fault that he also likes someone else's wife.
In the past few years, his silly son has been obsessed with Ma Lan, and he has no choice... Sometimes he even has to cover for them.
He Daqing also had his own plans. If his son could really plant seeds for Malan, wouldn't the Jia family have to raise a son for the He family for free? This would be a great deal! This damn woman, Jia Zhang, must be so angry that she must die...
Jia family
When Ma Lan brought back chicken legs from the kitchen, Jia Zhang was so greedy...
Ma Lan knew that Xiao Shazhu would prepare it for her, so the Jia family didn't cook in the morning. This was also what the family had discussed last night...
It was a cold day and Jia Zhang, who had not eaten anything in the morning and was starving, came happily to her daughter-in-law.
"Lan Zi, let me have a taste first... This big chicken leg is so delicious! You and Bang Geng can't finish it..."
Ma Lan brought it back just to show off. Last time, Jia Zhang boasted that she was going to the kitchen to find food...but she was stopped by Wu A Mei. This time, Ma Lan brought it back on purpose to irritate her. How could she possibly give it to her?
"Come on! You were just making fun of me, weren't you? Didn't you say I couldn't get it back? If you want to eat it, go get it yourself. There's a big pot of chicken in the kitchen..."
She was already greedy just watching Ma Lan eat, and now when she heard that there was a big pot of it... Jia Zhang gave her daughter-in-law a cold look and went out angrily.
"It would be a waste if I didn't try the food and wine provided by Yang Laosan and Liu Yuhua... I'll go try it too."
Jia Zhang planned to get close to He Daqing... after all, he had the final say in the kitchen.
Kitchen door
Jia Zhang came quietly. Now Yang Laosan and his wife were busy greeting Liu Yuhua's family... and did not come to guard the kitchen.
Nan Yi and Sha Zhu were chatting and laughing happily when Jia Zhang walked in.
The two guys looked at each other...
"Big size, what are you doing here? Get out, get out... The kitchen is a restricted area, don't you know that no one is allowed in?"
Sha Zhu immediately wanted to drive the other person away, and Nan Yi followed suit to drive her away.
Jia Zhang frowned and looked at the two brats fiercely.
"Get lost, I'm not here to look for you... Don't bring bad luck on New Year's Day."
