Chapter 338: Steamed Buns with Chili Sauce

Lu Yuxiu squatted down and lowered his head slightly so that An An could get close to his ear.

Her voice was small, and her eyes were always on the kitchen to see if her mother had come out. "Dad, Mom was unhappy because she received a letter this afternoon. Her brows are furrowed like this."

After saying this, he gestured to his father to show him how his mother was frowning.

Lu Yuxiu was thoughtful after hearing this. The letter he received must have been sent from Beijing. He didn't know whether it was from grandma or the Lin family. He stood up and touched An An's head, "Dad knows, you can go and play."

An An jumped away.

Lu Yuxiu got up and went to the kitchen, where he saw Lin Xia cooking seriously, with no sign of anything unusual on her face.

"Are you back? The meal will be ready soon. Let's have noodles tonight." Lin Xia smiled slightly when she saw him come back.

Seeing her smile, Lu Yuzheng was wondering if An An had seen it wrong, when he heard Lin Xia restrain her expression and frown as she said, "There's a letter from home."

"How is home?" When Lu Yuxiu heard that she was talking about home, he knew it was not grandma, but a letter from the Lin family.

"My sister has taken the child home, and they may even get a divorce." Lin Xia repeated to Lu Yuxiu what was written in the letter.

She had been thinking in her mind what to do. If she didn't know, it would have been fine, but now that she knew, she had to think about what to do.

"If you need any help, you can find Fang Jianyi." Lu Yuxiu said to Lin Xia. They were far away and couldn't go back, nor could they take care of her in time, so they could only find someone to help take care of her.

Lin Xia nodded. She was not in Beijing and didn't know the specific situation, nor did she know whether they would need help.

"It's too late to write a letter back. If there's anything urgent, you can send a telegram back." Lu Yuxiu didn't want to see her frowning.

"Yes." Lin Xia nodded in agreement.

At night, Lin Xia was still thinking about how to help Lin Xue. As she was thinking, she felt a big hand wrapping around her fingers. The arm on her waist slightly hugged her tightly, "If you are really worried, why don't you go back and take a look?"

Lin Xia felt as if her whole body was wrapped up, and her nose was filled with the scent of Lu Yuxiu, letting her know that there was someone she could rely on behind her.

"Let me think about it." Lin Xia suddenly felt something coming to her. She didn't want to worry about family matters anymore. She just wanted to kiss the person next to her.

"....Turn off the lights..." Before losing consciousness, Lin Xia could only utter this sentence while sobbing.

The man stretched out his strong arm and turned off the bedside lamp. The room suddenly fell into darkness. Only with the help of the moonlight could the stars be seen.

......

The next day when Lin Xia got up, she knew she had gotten up late again. When she went downstairs, she saw the three boys had finished breakfast and were waiting for her to get up.

"Good morning, Mom!" An An and the others greeted Lin Xia quickly when they saw her coming downstairs.

Their father told them not to go upstairs to disturb their mother, so they had to play downstairs and wait for their mother to get up and take them to school.

Lin Xia raised her wrist to check the time and saw that there was not much time left before class. "Have you packed your bags?"

"Packed!" the three answered in unison, and then put on their small backpacks.

Lin Xia didn't have time to eat breakfast. She put on her bag and prepared to go out. "Then let's go."

"Dad said he would let you eat." Seeing that her mother was about to leave like this, An An pointed to the several covered bowls of rice on the table.

In the past, mom would also sleep in like this. Later, when dad found out, he would tell her to watch her eat. An An accepted her dad's task and carried it out very conscientiously. He would remind mom immediately if she forgot.

Lin Xia reached out and opened the bowl, revealing millet porridge and steamed buns inside.

There was no time to eat the millet porridge, so Lin Xia picked up a steamed bun, stuffed it with some hot sauce and side dishes, and wrapped it with oil paper to make a steamed bun with vegetables.

Lin Xia was walking on the road, taking a bite of the steamed bun from time to time. The steamed bun with spicy sauce tasted so delicious.

"Mom, can you let me smell it?" Lele swallowed and looked at the steamed bun in his mother's hand eagerly.

When Lin Xia lowered her head, she saw three eager little faces around her. The greedy look on their faces was exactly the same. "Are you really just trying to smell it?"

"Mom, can you give me a bite?" An An decided to eat steamed buns at noon, and put chili sauce in them.

"Here, one bite each." The big blinking eyes made Lin Xia's heart soften. It seemed as if these three little ones had found her soft spot. Every time this happened, they would act cute and pretend to be pitiful, and they would succeed eight out of ten times.

They also knew that their mother had not eaten breakfast, so each of them just took a small bite.

By the time they arrived at school, Lin Xia had finished her steamed buns. Seeing them enter the classroom obediently, Lin Xia went to work at the Women's Federation with peace of mind.

After Director Pei arrived, Lin Xia borrowed a phone and called Lin's father's factory. The operator answered the phone and asked Lin's father to come and answer the phone. She called again five minutes later and he hung up.

"What happened at home?" Director Pei asked with concern when he saw that she was calling home.

Lin Xia smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, just asking about my family."

Director Pei saw that she didn't want to talk, so he didn't ask any more questions. He stood up and said, "Then go ahead and fight."

After saying that, he got up and went out, leaving the space to Lin Xia.

Lin Xia was grateful for Director Pei's thoughtfulness, but she never liked to talk about family matters with others.

A few minutes later, Lin Xia called again and heard Lin's father's voice. Although Lin's father was silent at home, he was the head of the family after all and had the most say.

"Dad, I received a letter from home. How is my sister now?" Lin Xia was afraid that her father was hiding something, so she took the lead in expressing that she knew what had happened.

Father Lin didn't expect that Lin Xia already knew about it. He didn't want to disturb his daughter who was far away on the island too much. He was afraid that she would always worry about her family and not be able to take good care of herself.

"Your sister doesn't talk at home either." Father Lin frowned and looked worried.

"What does she think? What do you and mom think?" Lin Xia went straight to the point. The ideas of the three of them were related to how the matter was handled.

"Your sister didn't say... Xiaoxia, there is no such thing as a life without conflicts. The Zhao family agreed that they only want a child..." Father Lin understood that the Zhao family wanted a son, but he felt that his daughter could give birth, but it would take some time.

But I didn’t expect that the Zhao family actually brought a child back. But now that he is back, it is impossible for him to be thrown away.

But even if my daughter gets divorced, what kind of man can she find in the future? If there is no child, it's fine, but my daughter has a child with her, which makes it even harder to find a husband in the future.

"What do you think, sister?" Lin Xia was silent for a while, but most people thought this way at that time, and she couldn't change it.
