She forgot that the family actually had a refrigerator. Although many families didn't need one, families like the Lan family had been using one for a long time.
The two of them went to a small shop outside the residential compound and bought ice cream. They ate it as they walked towards the shop.
"Mine is milk flavored~" Lin Qiyue showed Lan Yusui what flavor her popsicle was.
While slurping the juice from her popsicle, Lan Yusui said, "Mine are twins, one red bean and one green bean."
"Haha, so cold, so refreshing!" Lin Qiyue felt that this kind of day was really pleasant, as if she had returned to her childhood, when everyone would take five cents to the village store to buy popsicles.
But back then, five cents could buy ten popsicles.
I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and spent three yuan to buy a big, long watermelon.
It was a bit of a struggle for both of them to carry it.
When I got back to the entrance of the compound, I ran into Duan Yueman, who was coming back from her night shift.
There was an awkward silence for a minute, and Lin Qiyue was unsure how to begin.
Previously, it was because of their different statuses and because she spoke rudely, that I could criticize her at will.
Things are different now. Duan Yueman was raised by Duan Hongguo after all, so they are still sisters in name only.
Seeing this scene, Lan Yusui subconsciously looked at Lin Qiyue and found that both of them had strange expressions.
"Sister Duan, are you off work?" Lan Yusui and Duan Yueman have known each other for a long time, so greeting each other is basic etiquette.
Duan Yueman forced a smile, clutching the corner of her bag, and replied, "Yes, I just got off work."
Looking at Lin Qiyue, I saw that she had a serious expression.
"Did you hear that you went back to pay respects to your ancestors and came back yesterday?" Duan Yueman tried to break the awkward silence.
This tone is completely different from the last one.
Lin Qiyue was still a little surprised and looked at her in disbelief.
"He came back yesterday," Lin Qiyue replied casually, then added, "Uncle Duan is at my house. Would you like to come over for lunch?"
I won't be spending much time with her in the future, but her mother is different. I might have to live under the same roof with her, so I should be polite to her. If she doesn't offend me, she will naturally treat me politely in return.
"No need, I just finished my night shift and I'm going home to rest. You guys go ahead with your work." Duan Yueman replied politely, then quickened her pace to go home.
Looking at Duan Yueman's retreating figure, Lin Qiyue sensed her helplessness.
Actually, she didn't seem to have done anything wrong to herself, and she shouldn't be labeled by others because of that one sentence.
"Sister Duan probably still can't accept this fact!" Lan Yusui is actually quite nice to Duan Yueman.
Lin Qiyue glanced at Lan Yusui, sighed, and said, "I didn't say she was bad. We're rivals in love. Everyone in the compound knows she likes my husband, and now I'm her father's daughter. Even though we haven't had any conflicts, it'll still be awkward if we meet. It's best if we don't."
Lan Yusui thought it made sense.
After glancing at Lin Qiyue, she didn't continue the topic.
We took the watermelons they bought back home, put them in the refrigerator to chill, and then they were ready to eat after dinner.
Several grown men were chatting animatedly in the living room, and she wondered whether she should tell them about meeting the female lead on the street.
Lin Qiyue and Lan Yusui didn't have to do any work; they just chatted under the eaves like two sisters.
At this moment, Lan Yuchu came out from inside. Lin Qiyue saw him walking over and asked, "We ran into Duan Yueman when we came back. Should we call her over?"
When Lan Yu first heard this name, his first reaction was not to want to.
But then he thought about July's current status, and he was in a dilemma.
"I think it's better not to. She's a nurse, and she's very busy at work. We don't usually keep in touch, so let's just forget about it!" Lan Yuchu refused directly.
Lin Qiyue looked at Lan Yuchu, and she was also hesitant.
Should we call out to her or not? Will our actions today make the female lead feel that we are isolating her?
In the novel, the female protagonist's parents are also people who have made contributions.
Lin Qiyue felt she had developed a saintly heart.
Turning around, she saw Haider and her mother-in-law. She hesitated for a moment. After all, Haider was the original owner's biological mother, and Duan Hongguo was Duan Yueman's adoptive father. What if something happened that caused a stalemate among the family? Wouldn't that be bad?
"Are you worried about the relationship between your mother-in-law and father-in-law?" Lan Yuchu saw through Lin Qiyue's thoughts. "Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time. I won't get involved." Lin Qiyue turned and went into the room. She didn't want to get involved; the more she thought about it, the more confused she became.
Lan Yuchu followed her in and then comforted her, "Don't be nervous, let's take it one step at a time."
Lin Qiyue also felt that this was the only way.
Soon it was time to eat, and everyone enjoyed the large table of food.
When Duan Yueman learned that Lin Qiyue was her father's child, she was very disappointed to find no one at home when she returned today.
I quickly packed my bags and left, reluctantly closing the door behind me with my belongings.
She felt she shouldn't disturb their family reunion any longer, and besides, if her father hadn't gone to rescue his own parents, he wouldn't have lost his wife and children.
After she grew up and learned about these things, she always tried her best to stay by her father's side, at least he had her to take care of him. But now that her father doesn't need her anymore, she naturally can't stay here any longer.
She works at a hospital and applied for dormitory accommodation.
At this moment, the Lan family is enjoying a harmonious lunch.
