Chapter 83 Chapter 83 Exclusive
After separating from Yuan Mingxu, Lin Yimu returned to the hotel they booked and went to the cemetery with his family to burn incense for his grandparents. Because Lin Bohan and Jiang Wanqiu were from the same place, they were buried in the same cemetery after their death.
After burning incense, Lin Yimu followed the silent adults all the way back to the hotel. Knowing that they must be in a bad mood, not only did he not say a word, even Jiang Mingxuan, who had always been very lively, did not say a word.
It was not until dinner time that the adults resumed their usual lively atmosphere, and even discussed where to travel together to celebrate the New Year. After all, it was not easy for Jiang Wanlin to take leave in his current job, and now that he finally got the holiday, he had to spend time with his family.
After discussing for a long time, everyone finally decided to find a place with warm weather to go on vacation. After all, the weather is a bit cold now.
Finally, the group decided to travel to Dali, Yunnan. I heard that the winter there is also warm, and the pace of life is not as fast as in big cities in China, and there are many fun places.
The two families took a nearby plane to Dali and found a homestay near Luwo Mountain to stay in. They discussed the next journey and found a local tour guide nearby to take them to visit Dali's famous attractions for a few days.
In the next few days, the two families went to a number of famous scenic spots, including the Luwoshan Ruins, Gusheng, Huadianba, Zibi Lake, and Xizhou Ancient Town. For a week in a row, Lin Yimu accompanied his family everywhere. At the end of the day, Lin Yimu was so tired that he had no energy to read. After returning to his room in the B&B, he just wanted to go to bed.
In the end, Lin Yi Mu couldn't stand this schedule of running outside every day, and finally told Jiang Wanqiu that he couldn't go out. No matter how much they persuaded him, Lin Yi Mu refused to go out. In the end, Jiang Wanqiu and Lin Bohan had no choice but to compromise, and even handed Jiang Mingxuan to Lin Yi Mu's care.
Lin Yimu looked at Jiang Mingxuan who was sitting next to him. The two of them stared at each other for a long time. Finally, Lin Yimu could only sigh and took Jiang Mingxuan's hand and said, "Xiaoxuan, you have to stay in the room with me today."
Jiang Mingxuan nodded obediently after hearing this, followed Lin Yimu to the sofa in the living room and sat down, then picked up the remote control on the table beside him and said, "Cousin, I can watch cartoons in the living room. Go and do what you have to do. I'll come to you if I have anything to do."
Jiang Mingxuan forced himself to put on a serious expression on his cute baby face, and even reached out and pushed Lin Yimu to ask him to get busy.
Lin Yimu looked at Jiang Mingxuan, who looked like a little adult, and pinched his chubby face with a bit of amusement, saying, "Okay, you watch TV well. I'll be reading in my room with the door open. Remember to call me if you have anything."
After Lin Yimu finished speaking, he loosened his hand that was pinching Jiang Mingxuan's face, and went to get him some snacks and put them on the table. However, in order to prevent the child from eating too many snacks and not being able to eat, he only took a small bag and put it next to Jiang Mingxuan.
After that, Lin Yimu returned to his room, opened the door, sat on the desk and started reading the book he had brought. He could finally read with peace of mind. If he had been hanging out with his parents, he would have no time to read, and he would probably fall behind during the post-New Year training.
001, who had been having a blast playing in Lin Yimu's mind, saw that Lin Yimu finally knew how to read, and sighed: "You finally have time to read. I thought you were having so much fun that you didn't want to leave."
While reviewing the number theory in his hand, Lin Yimu said helplessly in his heart: "I can't help it. After all, my parents arranged this so that I can relax. If I don't go out with them for a few days, I guess they will keep nagging me. But I didn't expect them to have so much energy to play all day. I don't have the energy to read when I come back at night."
Upon hearing this, 001 suddenly laughed, and said with a gloating look, "I really didn't expect that your physical strength is not as good as your parents and uncle. They also played for a whole day and were able to go out and chat with the locals near the B&B at night, but you just lay dead on the bed."
"Shut up! If you say anything more, I'll lock you up in a small dark room!" Lin Yimu gritted his teeth when he was reminded of his experiences over the past few days.
Thinking back to the first day out, it was already past seven in the evening. After they came back, Lin Yimu was so tired that he just wanted to go to bed after washing up. However, his parents and uncle were chatting with the locals outside in high spirits, asking about the local food and scenery, and they chatted until eight or nine o'clock.
This incident made Lin Yimu feel really complicated. He himself did not expect that his physical strength was not as good as his parents. So in the next few days, in addition to going out to play during the day, Lin Yimu also jogged to exercise when he came back at night. This was also the reason why he had no time to read.
Because after a day of physical exertion, he went jogging, and after washing up he had no energy to read.
Thinking of this, Lin Yimu sighed. He was afraid that 001 would suddenly show up again and disturb him from reading, so he locked it in the small dark room. He would not admit that he was seeking revenge on purpose.
For the next half month, except for going out to play with his child when he had no choice, Lin Yimu spent the rest of his time in the room helping to take care of the child and reading books. Although Jiang Mingxuan is only in the second grade this year, he is not as crying and naughty as other children of this age. He is relatively easy to take care of, except when he is asked to do his homework.
Even the most well-behaved children can be disobedient sometimes. Jiang Mingxuan’s behavior is simply that he doesn’t like doing homework, especially Chinese homework, which requires him to write Chinese characters over and over again, and this is what Jiang Mingxuan lacks now.
So every time Lin Yimu was reading, the only thing that bothered him was how to get Jiang Mingxuan to do his Chinese homework. Apart from that, he was very calm.
…
Time unknowingly came to New Year's Eve. Although both families planned to travel here for the New Year, they did not really do nothing. So after finally having enough fun, the two families finally decided to prepare a reunion dinner.
After borrowing the kitchen from the owner of the B&B, the adults from both families went to the kitchen to busy themselves, while Lin Yimu took Jiang Mingxuan to play. They either went to watch the nearby B&Bs post Spring Festival couplets or watched the local children running around setting off firecrackers. Everyone had a happy smile on their face.
Jiang Mingxuan was looking at those children with envy. After seeing this, Lin Yimu thought about it and bought a box of firecrackers from a local kid and gave it to Jiang Mingxuan.
Jiang Mingxuan looked at the box of firecrackers handed to him, looked at Lin Yimu with bright eyes and said, "Cousin, will you play with me?"
Lin Yimu looked at the child who was a little depressed just now, and suddenly became excited. He rubbed his curly hair with a funny look and said, "I can play with you, but you can't throw this thing at people. You have to wash your hands after playing, otherwise your hands will smell bad and be dirty."
"Okay, I get it. Let's go out and play!" Listening to Lin Yimu's instructions, Jiang Mingxuan smiled and pulled his clothes towards the open space outside the B&B.
Lin Yimu followed with amusement, he didn't expect that the child who was always well-behaved and obedient would be so anxious.
When Lin Yimu and Jiang Mingxuan finished playing firecrackers and returned to the B&B, the adults of both families had already prepared the reunion dinner.
It was also the first time that the two families sat together to have a reunion dinner. Everyone had a happy smile on their face. At the end, each adult said a few words about their expectations for the new year, and teased Lin Yimu and Jiang Mingxuan with some auspicious words. Each of them received four red envelopes, which made Lin Yimu, who thought that his mental age was not young anymore, blushed and felt embarrassed.
Until the two families finished their reunion dinner and went back to their rooms, Lin Yimu looked at the several red envelopes beside him. Although he felt a little embarrassed, he felt very warm in his heart.
In his previous life, after his parents passed away, he was abandoned and hidden by the company for various reasons. Not only did he live a hard life, but he didn't have a single close friend around him, and there was no one to wish each other well during the holidays. Although for some unknown reason the company no longer suppressed and hidden him, and even allowed him to take on some small roles, no one around him was willing to get close to him.
Lin Yimu spent six years in this difficult and lonely way. Whenever there was a festival, while others were happily reunited with their families at home, he could only sit in his small, dark room, missing his family or staring blankly. There was not even anything worth looking forward to in his life.
Now, thinking about the bright and lively smiling faces at the table today, Lin Yimu couldn't help but reveal a smile of joy and gratitude from the bottom of his heart, and whispered: "Thank you 001."
"You're welcome. As long as you study hard, Mumu, and we work together to develop Country Z, that will be the best way to thank me." 001 said proudly with her hands on her hips.
"Got it. I won't let you down, little housekeeper."
Lin Yimu rubbed his face and put away his thoughts. He looked at 001 in his mind with amusement, and also took out the book to read very consciously.
The two families stayed in Dali for a few more days, during which time they participated in the local pilgrimage, visited the temples on the mountain, and worshipped the Buddha statues with the local people. Because Lin Yimu was about to start school, they returned to Yancheng on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
As soon as they returned to Yancheng, both families became busy. In addition to cleaning the house, they also visited familiar friends and gave them some local specialties. The next day after returning home, Lin Yimu sent messages to Yuan Mingxu and Huang Minglei, agreeing to meet after school started and give them specialties from Dali. After that, he returned the books he had borrowed for his trip and only then did he calm down.
Lin Yi Mu spent the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar peacefully at home, and school finally started. However, Lin Yi Mu and Huang Minglei could no longer attend classes with everyone else at school.
