Chapter 49 Who is this child?
Not long after, the little guy turned over in a daze, blinked his thick eyelashes, and woke up.
Seeing herself lying next to Lin Xia, she immediately climbed up and lay on top of Lin Xia, saying in a baby voice, "Sister!"
Lin Xia smiled, held the little guy in her arms, rolled over on the bed, and then climbed up.
"Let's go! Let's get up!"
Lin Xia stood up and reached out to the little guy.
The little ball quickly moved its legs and crawled over.
Lin Xia took her to wash up. The two of them stood side by side, the little one stood on a stool, and the two of them brushed their teeth together.
After changing clothes, they went downstairs together.
Grandma Lu sat at the dining table, looking at them together, and asked with a smile: "Are you awake so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer? Did An An make trouble for you last night?"
Lin Xia picked up the little guy, put him on the stool, and sat down next to her.
"I'm very good!" Little Tuanzi was sitting next to Lin Xia, grabbing a spoon to prepare to eat. When he heard his grandmother asking him, he raised his head and said in a baby voice,
That little expression seemed to be asking for praise.
Lin Xia looked at the little girl, smiled and replied, "Yes! An An is very well behaved and doesn't make any noise at all."
When Grandma Lu saw how the two of them were getting along, she felt relieved.
Said: "After dinner, it will be difficult for you to go home alone."
"It's okay." Lin Xia knew that they were talking about her going back home alone today. Yesterday didn't count as a visit to her parents' home. It could only be said that Lu Yuxiu said hello before leaving.
Both Lin's father and mother took leave today and are waiting for her at home, so she must go back again.
"Sister, where are you going? I want to go too!" Little Dumpling, who was eating, heard this and said hurriedly.
Grandma Lu saw that the little guy was about to go and wanted to stop him. This was not her biological child and she was raising him alone, so she was afraid that people would gossip about him.
"You can't go. Stay home and let grandma play with you!"
The big eyes that were full of smiles just now were suddenly watery, and she looked like she was about to cry, looking extremely pitiful.
Lin Xia reached out and touched her little breast bag, and comforted her: "An An, come home with your sister, okay?"
"This...is not a good idea?" Grandma Lu hesitated.
"It's okay! I like An An to accompany me." Lin Xia knew that Grandma Lu was doing it for her own good, but she didn't care about the gossip.
She also wanted to see who dared to gossip and talk nonsense in front of her.
The little guy didn’t even eat his meal and wanted to come over and hug Lin Xia.
"Eat quickly! We'll go out after we finish eating!" Lin Xia said softly.
Lin Xia took the little one out for the ride. Just now, Grandma Lu asked her to bring some more things back, but she refused. She had already carried a lot of things yesterday, so there was no need today.
Besides, the Lin family is not the kind of people who don’t know how to be satisfied.
After getting off the car, it was difficult to walk due to the crowds, so I carried An An for a distance. Fortunately, I didn't have anything in my hands, otherwise I really couldn't carry him.
As soon as I reached the entrance of the alley, I saw a group of idle ladies.
Lin Xia smiled and said nothing. Instead, the group of middle-aged women were surprised to see her holding a child.
They only knew she was married, but where did this child come from? This?
Everyone was puzzled and looked at each other but couldn't figure out the reason.
"This child?"
"Why didn't she take anything? Wasn't she going to return home today?"
"Where's her husband? Why isn't he with her?"
Everyone scratched their heads and couldn't figure out what was going on.
"No way?" Someone looked shocked as if he had thought of something.
"What? Tell me!" Everyone was curious.
.....
Lin Xia knew nothing about the discussions behind her, and she wouldn't care even if she knew. This kind of gossip could not be stopped.
Lin Xia's hands became sore after holding An An for a while, so she asked softly, "Can An An come down and take a walk?"
Seeing the little girl nodding obediently, Lin Xia's heart melted, and she let her hold her hand and walk together.
As we walked, he introduced where each place was and which one was his home.
Not long after turning the corner.
"Lin Xia you..."
When I heard the voice, I looked up curiously and saw a pretty girl with two pigtails and her hair only reaching her chest.
After thinking about it, Lin Xia remembered that she was the girl who had grown up with the original owner. Even her name was similar to the original owner, and it seemed that her name was Lin Xia.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xia has never won in the competition since she was a child, but this little girl is more clear-headed than the original owner.
Soon after graduating from high school, I passed the exam and got a job as a temporary worker in a textile factory. Although it was a temporary position, it might not be impossible to get a permanent job in the future.
When Lin's mother asked the original owner to take the exam, she was unwilling to do so because she felt it was too hard. She wanted a respected job and felt that she was worthy of He Lixuan.
"Who is this child?" Lin Xia was curious.
Lin Xia smiled and asked directly without answering, "What's wrong?"
Seeing that she hesitated and didn't answer, Lin Xia didn't care. There would be no social interaction in the future anyway.
"Then I'll go home first." He said hello and walked home holding An An's hand.
Lin Xia watched from behind, watching her receding figure, and remembered how popular she was in school. She didn't expect that she would get married so early.
Turning around and walking out, the ladies at the entrance of the alley looked at Lin Xia going to work and called her over to gossip, "Hey! Lin Xia, didn't you see Lin Xia carrying a child in there?"
I didn't want to pay attention to them, but I stopped for no reason and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"Did you ask whose child that was?" the ladies gossiped.
"You guys are busy, I have to go to work." Lin Xia regretted stopping.
"That little girl actually looks a bit like Lin Xia, but the child is so old now, it shouldn't be possible."
Seeing Lin Xia leave, the ladies began to speculate whether the child was born by Lin Xia.
Nowadays, it is not impossible for teenagers to have children. Everyone here is making all kinds of speculations and waiting for someone.
The person they were waiting for was Aunt Zhang, a loud speaker who happened to live next door to Lin Xia's house. She always knew things that others didn't.
Lin Xia brought An An into the house. All the Lin family members were there, and they looked familiar with An An.
Even Hu Zi came forward to look at this cute little sister, took her little hand, and wanted to take her to play.
An An timidly hugged Lin Xia's thighs and hid behind her.
Lin Xia picked her up again and followed Lin's mother and said, "I just saw Lin Xia in the alley. She seemed to want to say something."
"Oh, her family also forced her to look for a date."
"Why?" Lin Xia was puzzled. Why was a woman with a job forced to get married?
Nowadays, for those who haven’t divided up the family yet, all the money they earn from work must be handed over, and how much they pay depends on the family’s financial situation.
Lin's father and mother were wealthy, and their sons were all married, so they were not under so much pressure. Therefore, they only paid most of the money from their two sons, and did not pay any of their daughter-in-law's own money.
But it’s not necessarily the case in other families. The daughter-in-law’s money also has to be handed over, so there will be many conflicts.
"Her brother fell in love with a girl, and the girl's family asked for a very high dowry. Their family wanted to let her get married so that they could give some dowry money to her brother."
"Although she has a job, the salary for a temporary worker is not high," Lin's mother sighed.
Wu Fangfang was silent when she heard this. Her family did not favor boys over girls, but they did not value their daughter that much. When there was a job opportunity, the family could not afford the money, so they let her get married.
In fact, she is only one year older than Lin Xia and also got married at the age of nineteen. Fortunately, she married into the Lin family and her parents-in-law are both very nice.
Lin Xia was silent after hearing this. This phenomenon was not uncommon in this era. One could only be thankful that the Lin family was not such a family.
Hu Zi continued to tease his silent sister and took out all his toys, not many, all made for him by Lin's father or Lin Jianguo, such as small hand guns, small spinning tops, and a little tiger made of cloth from who knows where.
An An saw the little tiger and stared at it, but it still nestled in Lin Xia's arms.
Seeing the little girl's interest, Lin Xia touched her head and asked softly, "Do you want to play?"
Looking at her big watery eyes, the little baby said in a sweet and soft voice: "Yes."
Lin Xia put her down and let her go, "Go and have fun, I'm here and I'm not going anywhere."
Hu Zi came over, took her hand and took her away. Little Tuanzi looked back every few steps, as if to make sure that she really was not leaving.
Mother Lin was doing needlework and looking at the little girl with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
