By the time Lin Qingwan and Yingying were sent back by Wei Lingcheng in the afternoon, Cheng Maixiang and Lin Jiayu had already bought a lot of vegetables, washed and cut them, and were ready to cook dinner.

The Lin family's kitchen is in a small corner on the west side of the second courtyard. Although the kitchen is not large, it has all the necessary facilities. Moreover, the facilities inside are far from being as simple as Cheng Maixiang imagined. Instead, it looks quite modern, which surprised her.

Lin Qingwan quickly washed her hands and went to help. The two of them worked in the kitchen for a while and finally prepared the meal.

Cheng Maixiang and Lin Jiayu discussed it and decided to use a room in the second courtyard as a dining room, and they put the food on the table in that room.

Actually, this was the first meal in the house in the provincial capital, and Cheng Maixiang spent a lot of time preparing it. She bought several kilograms of pork, a grass carp and a featherless chicken. It was a pity that there were not many vegetables to choose from in winter in this era, so Cheng Maixiang only bought a few kilograms of cabbage, radishes, and a few kilograms of potatoes.

Even so, the dishes served on the table were quite good, including pork stewed with vermicelli, potato and chicken soup, spicy stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried shredded radish, braised fish, and a pot of fragrant rice. Yingying rubbed her hands and drooled at the sight.

Cheng Maixiang was a foodie in her previous life. As she was single, she spent her days thinking about delicious food besides doing business, and she also mastered the skill of cooking.

After coming into this world, Cheng's mother loved her and never asked her to cook, so she had never been able to show her talents. This time, she can finally show her talents.

To celebrate the housewarming, Cheng Maixiang bought a bottle of beer and poured a glass for everyone. She also prepared a drink for Yingying. As soon as the four of them sat down, Cheng Maixiang raised her glass and said, "To celebrate our return to the Lin family mansion, let's have a drink together as a family."

Lin Jiayu picked up the wine glass in front of him without saying a word, and Yingying followed suit, holding the drink.

Lin Qingwan looked at the table full of delicious dishes, then glanced at the wine glass in front of her. She couldn't help but think of her childhood when her parents would drink to celebrate every holiday. She thought those beautiful days were gone forever, but unexpectedly they were back again.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her with smiles on their faces, Lin Qingwan couldn't help but smile too. She picked up her wine glasses and clinked the four glasses together, causing the wine in the glasses to splash out. Yingying couldn't help but scream.

All three of them started laughing, and the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became lively. Everyone was eating and chatting happily.

After dinner, the four of them sat in the main room and talked again. Cheng Maixiang talked about how they planned to decorate the Lin family mansion in the future. Lin Jiayu looked at his young wife with a smile without saying a word. Instead, Lin Qingwan kept giving her advice.

The four of them talked until very late before returning to the house to sleep. They had been busy all day and were very tired. Cheng Maixiang almost lay down in Lin Jiayu's arms and fell asleep in less than five minutes.

For some reason, Lin Jiayu fell into insomnia. He was only a few years old when he left this mansion. Those days were the happiest and carefree time of his life. He climbed trees and walls every day, scaring his parents. His father was strict and his mother was gentle. No matter how big a mistake he made, he would not receive much punishment until his parents were forced to go to Linwen County.

The days after that really felt like being soaked in endless bitter water, with no end in sight for the pain. Fortunately, he finally made it through. Although God took away his parents, he gave him a young wife, making him feel as if he had returned to those sweet days before.

It was late at night, but Lin Jiayu still couldn't sleep. He simply got up, put on his clothes, tiptoed to the yard, and looked up at the sky. At this time, a crescent moon hung in the sky, and bright stars were shining in the dark night.

"Xiao Jia, can't you sleep either?"

Lin Jiayu turned around and saw Lin Qingwan also coming out in thick clothes. He smiled and said, "You've been away for ten years, how can you sleep?"

The two stood side by side in the yard, as if they had returned to their carefree childhood. At that time, their biggest worry was how to avoid being discovered and punished by their parents when they did something bad. They didn't need to worry about anything else. Even if the sky fell, their parents would support them.

Now, their parents are gone, they have grown up, and they have people behind them who need them to protect and support. Looking at how everything has changed, they are filled with emotion.

"Sister, are you and Yingying going to the Wei family today? Can you adapt?"

As soon as Lin Qingwan arrived home, Lin Jiayu couldn't help but want to ask, but Cheng Maixiang kept stopping him and told him not to ask a single question unless his elder sister wanted to say it herself.

He understood Cheng Maixiang's painstaking efforts, but he couldn't help it. He really wanted to know whether his elder sister could adapt to the environment of the Wei family and whether Yingying rejected the Wei family.

"Fortunately, Ling Cheng is the only one living in the Wei family. It's such a big house, but he lives with the nanny and the cook. When he gets home from get off work, it's always deserted and there's no one to talk to."

The environment was indeed quite simple.

Lin Jiayu has always been worried that his eldest sister and Yingying would be embarrassed by the elders of the Wei family if they returned. But now it seems that Wei Lingcheng's mother died of illness a few years ago, his father was deprived of power and sent to the south by him, and his eldest brother was placed under house arrest by him. He is the only one left at home. If he really treats his eldest sister and Yingying well, then it would indeed be better for the mother and daughter to return to the Wei family than to stay in the Lin family.

Sure enough, Lin Qingwan took a deep breath and said to Lin Jiayu, "Xiao Jia, I just want to discuss this with you. Ling Cheng has already contacted a primary school in the provincial capital. After Yingying starts school in a few days, I plan to bring her back to live with the Wei family. Do you agree?"
