Chapter 55 Old House

Although they are all family members, there will be estrangement between family members.

It's not an aboveboard thing, so the fewer people who know about it the better. Lin Xia has suffered this kind of loss before.

After handing the baby over to her second brother, Lin Xia picked up An An and prepared to go home.

Lin Jianjun wanted to give it, but was rejected.

Watching his younger sister walk out, Lin Jianjun felt that she was very different after getting married. Without thinking too much about it, Lin Jianjun went back to the room, said something to his wife, and then went out.

When Wu Fangfang saw her husband was about to go out, she asked him with some confusion. Because of Lin Xue's matter, no one in the family went to work today.

"It's okay. Pingzi wants to talk to me about something. You should take a rest." After thinking about it, Lin Jianjun decided to listen to his younger sister and didn't reveal anything.

Lin Xia carried her child onto the bus. There were few people on the bus and there was no shortage of seats.

She told Lin Jianjun nothing else but to check where Mrs. Zhao's medicine came from. If it was some Taoist priest or quack doctor who was cheating people, she should call the police and have them arrested.

Superstition is no small matter these days. To take it too seriously, you may be arrested and sent for reform.

On this side, Lin Xia was worried about the Lin family, on the other side, Lu Yuxiu was worried about the house.

As soon as he returned to the army, he was surrounded by people when he went to report for leave, including his teammates who he was close to and some acquaintances.

They all asked him how he came to the decision to get married, and they all wanted to see photos of his sister-in-law.

He was not very young in the army. Many of his teammates were about the same age and had several children. He was the only one who was still single before he went back home on leave.

When his leaders approved his leave, they told him to settle the important matter in his life as soon as possible.

The leader was somewhat helpless about him. He was obviously a young man with a bright future. It was rare for him to reach this position at this age, let alone in the future.

After Lu Yuxiu finished his leave, he took out an application and handed it to his leader.

When the leader saw that the boy was finally married, before he could make any jokes, he saw the paper in front of him and was a little confused when he took it.

When he took a closer look, he looked at it with a look of confusion on his face, and shook his head and said, "Okay, you are really fast!"

The man chuckled at the leader, a smile appearing on his cold face, which startled the leader.

If this guy had smiled like this when he met lesbians in the past, how could he have waited until now to get married.

Regarding the house, the leader thought for a moment and said, "You gave this application too suddenly. You just applied for marriage, and now you have to apply for a house soon, and your family will accompany the army."

"In theory, your level is sufficient, but..."

When Lu Yuxiu heard the word "but", his heart tensed up and he blurted out, "But what?"

The leader smiled. Seeing that this kid was so anxious for the first time, it was rare. He said without further suspense, "This house does exist. As you know, there was a big change in the family quarters not long ago."

It turned out that as more and more people applied to accompany the army, the old family area could no longer accommodate them. Later, the team divided the area into new family areas. In order to save space, the new family building was a three-story building.

It was rare to find downstairs in this era. After the new family building was built, all those who were eligible had applied to move in, and some people were waiting for another family building to be built.

"You have missed the opportunity to build the new building. The one built later is not habitable yet. The only one that can be lived in is the old house. It depends on whether you are willing to do so." The leader has said this, and it depends on what he chooses.

Lu Yuxiu pondered for a moment, feeling a little silent. He didn't know what the old house was like, but he couldn't afford to live in two different places.

Seeing that the boy remained silent, she thought that he had finally gotten married, and she felt a little guilty about having to separate the couple right after their wedding, so she said, "Don't think that it's an old house. It's actually not bad inside. Once you move in, you'll know the benefits of an old house."

Seeing this, Lu Yuxiu gritted his teeth and decided to leave the old house as it is.

Before leaving, the leader seemed to remember something and stopped him and said, "If the house needs repairs, there is a repair subsidy. Wait until the new family building is built, and then you can see how to apply for it."

"Yes!" Upon seeing this, Lu Yuxiu went back to wait for news.

......

When Lin Erge called again, Lin Xia was at Lu's house, making dumplings with Grandma Lu and Aunt Wang. An An was kneading a small ball of dough.

"Hello, second brother?" Lin Xia answered the phone and knew there was news as soon as she heard the voice.

After agreeing on a meeting time over the phone, Lin Xia felt much more relaxed as half of the task was already done.

"Mom, look at me, Little Fish!" The little hand was raised, and the voice was soft with a tone of "asking for praise".

Lin Xia looked over and saw that the dough in the little guy's hand was pinched into the shape of a small fish, which looked quite similar.

"Great~" Lin Xia reached out and pinched the little guy's chubby face, but forgot that there was flour on her hands.

Hearing the praise he wanted to hear, he shook his little head happily.

Seeing the little ball turning into a little cat, Lin Xia couldn't help but burst out laughing.

When Grandma Lu looked up, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The little guy seemed to realize something and touched his own face. It turned out to be just a little bit, but now it has completely turned into a little cat.

Seeing them all laughing, Little Dumpling couldn't help laughing too.

Speaking of eating dumplings, it was simply because Lin Xia saw the leeks growing well and green in the backyard that she immediately thought of leek eggs.

There are a lot of leeks in this patch, and they are just the right height. If they keep growing, they will probably get old.

Wang Ma was called over, and the two of them hit it off immediately, so the scene of making dumplings came about.

Aunt Wang rolled out the dough, while Lin Xia and Grandma Lu wrapped it together.

When Lin Xia was mixing the stuffing, the little guy was clamoring for help. Grandma Lu wanted to take the little guy away, but she saw the little guy's eager look, and his eyes showed that he really wanted to participate.

Lin Xia took charge and rolled up a small ball of dough for her to play with.

When Grandma Lu saw her spoiling the child like this, she felt happy but also conflicted.

Which family spoils their children like this? That's white flour, which is a refined grain. In the days to come, I don't know whether the grandson's salary and allowance can support them and his mother.

Lin Xia had no idea that Grandma Lu was worried.

She just felt that there was really not much entertainment for children in this era, especially An An, whose only friend was the fat boy next door.

But he is two years older than An An and is already in kindergarten.

An An hasn't gone to school yet, and his only friend is that rag doll.

Lin Xia felt distressed when she saw this, so she would often meet some of her small requests.

The little guy is just gradually becoming more lively than before, more like a child of his age.

The dumplings were well received that night and the whole family enjoyed the meal to their heart’s content.

The next day, Lin Xia went out to meet Lin Jianjun. It was not appropriate to bring An An along for the trip.

She went out alone, dressed more low-key than before, and her hairstyle returned to that rustic pigtail.
