Chapter 353 Moving Away

After that, they didn't go far, just strolled around the town with their family. One day, Lin Xia suddenly thought of taking photos in the town, so she arranged a day to take a family photo.

Lin Xue didn't even take photos when she got married, let alone Dou Dou. Before leaving for the photo shoot, Lin Xia designed a good look for Lin Xue at home.

Lin Xue looks different from Lin Xia Mingyan. If she doesn't speak, she looks like a gentle beauty from the south. However, after the devastation of her last marriage, she has become tired and aged many years. Now she is buried in work and has made herself look dusty.

Lin Xia cut her hair short to below her shoulders so that she could tie it up when she went to work in the future. She also found out the ingredients that were suitable for her from the secret recipes and immediately arranged for Lin Xue.

With the help of Lin's mother, Lin's father had to frown every day, watching Lin Xia smear a lot of paste on her face. Sometimes when he suddenly saw it at night, he would be so scared that his heart would jump out.

Father Lin often nagged Mother Lin about this, but Mother Lin always fought back in the end. Who doesn't have a love for beauty?

Although Lin Xia said that she was old and could not improve much, Lin's mother was still happy and agreed to join in the effort, thinking that any improvement would be a good thing!

In the end, Father Lin could only pull Lu Yuxiu aside to complain about his troubles, but it was good enough that Lu Yuxiu did not take the initiative to help Lin Xia grind the flour.

You have to please your father-in-law, but you must not offend your mother-in-law. After all, she is the one who calls the shots in the family!

On the day when the Lin family went to take pictures, the mother and her two daughters were radiant. When the sweet-talking little ones saw the dressed-up people, they started to speak nicely to them as if they were free. Their ears were filled with praises from children in clear or baby voices.

"Mommy is so beautiful!" Lele's big eyes were bright. He reached out and hugged Lin Xia's legs and shouted in a baby voice.

"Grandma is beautiful too!"

"Mom is beautiful too!" Everyone was praising her, so Doudou couldn't help but blurt out words praising his mom.

"Aunt is a beauty! Grandma is so pretty!" Lele might have heard Lin Xia praise An An and Ning Ning as little beauties, so he remembered it. Now he actually learned to treat them equally and kept flattering Lin Xue and Lin's mother.

Lin Xue's cheeks turned slightly red after being praised, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Mother Lin's heart melted when she was praised by the children. She squatted down and hugged them, saying "oh oh oh" affectionately.

"Auntie, I'll hold your hand and walk with you." Lele reached out and held Lin Xue's hand, looking like a little gentleman. Even Lin Xia couldn't help feeling a little jealous when she saw him.

"Mom, I'll hold your hand!" Seeing this, An An immediately ran over and held Lin Xia's hand. Ning Ning followed her sister and held Lin Xia's other hand.

As expected! The intimate little cotton jacket is still the best! Sooner or later, the leather jacket will belong to someone else!

Of course the whole family was very happy and went to take photos with great fanfare. But when Lu Yuxiu came back in the evening and found out that he was not included in the event, he got a little mad.

Of course, others didn't notice Lu Yuxiu's temper because Lin Xia endured it all silently, not to mention the sore waist and weak legs she suffered from the whole day the next day.

Lin's father and mother stayed until the fifteenth day after the New Year before leaving. Knowing that Second Brother Lin and his friends would come to pick them up when they got off the train, Lin Xia prepared a big bag full of luggage. Lu Yuxiu and his people took them all the way to the train, which was convenient and not tiring.

By September 1976, An An and Le Le were already five years old. Maybe because they had learned a lot from An An, they had already recognized quite a few words and their way of speaking had gradually become more logical. This might have been due to the frequent bickering with Lin Xia.

Anyway, Lin Xia was planning to send these two to elementary school, so that the three children's school and going time would be synchronized.

However, some changes began to appear on Lin Xia's side.

The main reason was that Lu Yuxiu had been transferred. When Lu Yuxiu was at home, he seldom mentioned things in the army, and Lin Xia tacitly did not ask. Even when Lu Yuxiu was on a mission, she was not allowed to ask when he would be back. She could only say that he had returned safely.

So when Lin Xia suddenly learned that she had to move to another place, she was a little bit unbelieving. It was really too sudden.

"Are we the only ones?" Lin Xia asked softly while lying in Lu Yuxiu's arms.

"We'll know when the time comes." The man hummed softly, his eyes looking at the roof. He had watched this house being renovated bit by bit, and at that time he was full of anticipation, waiting for Lin Xia to come.

Here he learned what a home is like. Lele and Ningning were born and raised here. They can run and jump. This home is full of memories.

Lin Xia was reluctant to leave, but she also knew what the future would be like. They couldn't stay here forever. "What will the new home look like? Is it a small building like this or a bungalow?"

The woman had been feeling a little sad just now, but suddenly her words were full of curiosity and joy about her new home.

"Maybe it's a building." Lu Yuxiu had asked this question. He remembered that Lin Xia said she liked houses with yards, but houses are not what people imagine.

"Building." Lin Xia paused. Without a small yard, she could no longer grow vegetables and flowers, and she felt a little disappointed.

Then I thought that the buildings at that time seemed to all have corridors, just like the residential buildings for family members today.

"How do we move then?"

"The army will make arrangements. You can bring whatever you want." Seeing that she was looking forward to and planning to move to a new home, Lu Yuxiu's reluctance gradually disappeared.

As long as the whole family is together, it seems that there is no problem that cannot be solved.

"Can the children's beds be used?" Lin Xia suddenly thought that since it was a building, there would definitely not be many rooms, and she didn't know how the children would live when they grew up.

"Sure, I'll arrange a car to move with you."

Lin Xia felt relieved immediately after hearing that, and started counting on her fingers to plan what to take away.

After this day, Lin Xia began to deal with things at home, mainly the vegetables planted in the yard and the food at home. The mango tree was hanging with yellow fruits, but the lychee tree still had only leaves. Later, Lin Xia learned that it takes more than ten years for a lychee tree to bear fruit, but as the green trees remained in the yard, Lin Xia did not deal with them.

As they were about to move, Lin Xia picked the ripe mangoes and made them into dried mangoes to take away. While she was busy, Yang Hongmei came to visit. The first thing she said was, "Ah..."

"Why are you sighing?" Lin Xia was peeling a mango.

Yang Hongmei's face was full of reluctance, "I can't be your neighbor anymore." After saying this, her eyes were still a little moist. They had lived together for so many years and had a very good relationship, so she was really reluctant to leave.

Lin Xia paused, "You know?"

"Yes, that's what my husband Wu said. We don't know what the new home will be like. We've lived here for so long that we've gotten used to it. We really can't bear to leave." Yang Hongmei reached out to wipe away her tears.

Lin Xia's slightly frowned brows relaxed and she raised her hand lightly, "So, Mrs. Yang and her family are going to move away too?"
