Chapter 314 Distant Cousin
Lin Anan leaned in her mother's arms, her eyes slightly moistened, and she said softly: "Mom, thank you. I know you always think about me, but I also want to do something for the family. You have to take this money, and if it is not enough for repairing the house, please tell me at any time."
Mother Lin raised her hand and rubbed Lin Anan's head. "Silly child, I know what you mean. Just take good care of yourself, write well, live your life well, and don't worry about family matters. Look at you, you have to work, worry about the family, and you are pregnant. I feel tired just thinking about you."
"Mom, I'm not tired. I like doing these things."
Lin's mother insisted on not accepting it, so Lin Anan had to give up and thought about transferring the money to Lin's father later. Lin's father was not that sentimental and would listen to her if she communicated with him properly.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, all parties are making intensive preparations.
The temperature in the Northwest is dropping rapidly, and autumn has officially arrived.
Lin Anan looked at the leaves outside the window that were gradually turning yellow, and couldn't help but sigh at the passing of time.
When people have free time, they miss Chu Mingzhou more and more. Although they know that Chu Mingzhou is capable, they are still worried that he will be tired and injured.
"Is Comrade Lin here?"
A familiar yet unfamiliar male voice sounded outside the door.
Mother Lin opened the door and saw three unfamiliar faces. "Who are you?"
The soldiers leading the way told Lin's mother that they were Lin Anan's friends and were here to visit a friend.
Lin Anan came out of the house and saw that it was the Xue siblings, so she hurried over to greet them, "Xue Ran, Xue Ke, long time no see!"
As soon as the three of them entered the door, Lin's mother hurriedly made tea for them, put away the finished clothes, and closed the sewing machine.
Xue Ke saw that Lin Anan was very happy, and hurried to sit next to her, "Sister Anan, we are here to give you an invitation. My brother is holding a wedding banquet on National Day, in our government compound, and I want to invite you to have a drink."
Lin Anan was slightly stunned!
When she raised her eyes, she met Lin Wangshu who was standing opposite her.
The little girl looks very good, with curved eyebrows, cherry lips, a pair of lively and beautiful almond eyes, and a gentle and quiet temperament.
Lin Wangshu nodded at her and took the initiative to say, "Hello, Comrade Lin, my name is Lin Wangshu. I heard that you are also from Suzhou. We are from the same hometown!"
Lin Anan smiled and responded, "So we're from the same hometown. What a coincidence. It feels especially cordial to run into a fellow countryman in the Northwest."
When Lin's mother heard this, she also came over and said, "What a fate. Where are you from in Sucheng? Your last name is Lin too. In our circle, most people with the last name Lin are relatives."
"Auntie, I'm from Ninghe Village."
"Hey, it's from Ninghe, right next to our Linjia Village!"
The two chatted back and forth, and thought they were fellow villagers, but in the end they actually became relatives...
"So, you are An An's cousin!"
That’s right, Lin Wangshu is Lin Anan’s distant cousin.
Lin Anan had not expected this kind of relationship, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. "I really didn't expect to run into my cousin in this great northwest."
Lin Wangshu smiled happily and nudged Xue Ran with his elbow. "I also didn't expect that the famous Comrade Lin is actually my sister."
Xue Ke's eyes lit up, "You guys... Sister An An is so amazing, and sister-in-law is also so amazing, it turns out they are a family! This trip is really the right one."
Xue Ran looked at this scene and felt relieved for some reason. "So, many things are caused by fate. Wangshu's family doesn't have many people, and the wedding is in need of the bride's elders and relatives! Aunt just happened to show up, as if she was here to support Wangshu. At that time, Aunt will have to sit at the main table."
Mother Lin paused her smile and looked at Lin Wangshu with questioning eyes.
Lin Wangshu's smile disappeared, and he forced a smile, "Aunt, do you still remember the mountain accident in 1968? My dad died in the mountain accident, and my mom has always been in poor health, so she can't come this time.
It was such a coincidence today that I actually ran into Auntie and Sister An An. If possible... I really want to invite Auntie to sit at the main table and officiate my wedding."
Lin's mother naturally knew about the mountain disaster in 1968.
It's just... her mother won't come to her daughter's wedding? How bad must her health be?
An An was in such poor health at that time, but he was still able to come to the Northwest!
Mother Lin sighed and patted Lin Wangshu's hand. "When you get married, An An and I will go to have a drink at the wedding. Forget about whether it's the main table or not. We'll just go there to enjoy the wedding atmosphere."
Lin's mother is a soft-hearted person, but she is not stupid.
She planned to call home and ask after the people left.
How coincidental is it that I can run into relatives from the same ethnic group in the Northwest, and it is such a coincidence that they want me to be the elder who officiates at the wedding.
Lin's mother seems to be disorganized in her work, but she puts her daughter first in her heart. Now that her daughter and son-in-law are both successful and have some fame, they cannot be taken advantage of by others.
Building connections is a small matter, but getting into trouble that you shouldn't be getting into will be a big deal.
The siblings Xue Ran and Xue Ke remained polite and friendly, and had no idea what was going on.
Especially Xue Ke, seeing how affectionate Lin Anan was, calling her Sister Anan in front and Sister Anan behind, he wished he could stay with her.
"Sister An An, you don't know that after my mother read your press release, she gave you a thumbs up and said that your awareness is a role model for our generation. After learning that you are my good friend, she has been asking me to invite you home as a guest!
But I turned her down. I know you are not in good health and you must have a good rest after coming back from Henan Province. And my brother is getting married, so I took this opportunity to invite you. "
Lin Anan listened to Xue Ke's words with a gentle smile on her face, "Thank you for the compliment, Auntie. I just did what I should do, and I'm still far from being a role model! When I finish my work here and get better, I will definitely come to visit you."
"That's great, Sister An'an, my mother must be very happy. By the way, did you know that my brother and Sister Wangshu are also quite predestined..."
Lin Anan had heard about what Xue Ke said. Editor Liu had just told them about it as gossip not long ago.
Only through Xue Ke's mouth did things become more detailed.
It turns out that Su Yao has been sentenced and has actually ended up in jail...
An unnatural look flashed across Lin Wangshu's face, "Xiao Ke, please stop talking."
"Oh, sister-in-law, what's the big deal? Sister An An is one of us."
Lin's mother watched them talking and laughing, and was secretly thinking about Lin Wangshu's affairs in her heart.
She always felt that there was something fishy about this matter. Although Lin Wangshu looked innocent and harmless, people's hearts are hidden, so she still had to be cautious.
Several people talked about Lin Anan's trip to Henan Province. When they learned that she had officially joined the Northwest Military Region, they all nodded repeatedly.
When the time was almost up, Xue Ran looked at his watch and said, "It's getting late, we should go back. Auntie, Comrade Lin, you must come on National Day. We'll be waiting for you in the government compound."
Lin Anan and Lin's mother stood up to see them off, "Be careful on the road, we will definitely go."
