There is a concentrated residential area in the east of Qingyan Town, which is full of small courtyards with one or two entrances. It is very suitable for families with small members.
One of the alleys has a nice name - Xinghua Lane. Lin Ziran's family is one of the families in this alley.
When everyone arrived at Fourth Uncle Lin's house, only Fourth Aunt Lin Zhao Yue and daughter Lin Qing were home. The eldest son, Lin Qiao, was a waiter in a teahouse and was currently working. The youngest son, Lin Heng, was only 12 years old and was also studying.
When Zhao saw her father-in-law and uncle coming with the two children from the second son's family, she knew without thinking too much that something must have happened.
He quickly ushered them into the house and boiled water to make tea.
Zhao Yue's parents' family also lived in the town and owned a pastry shop. When Lin Ziran was still studying in the town, he was a classmate of Zhao's brother.
Lin Ziran was a casual person and he always went to her house for meals. As time went by, he became familiar with the Zhao family and had a good impression of Zhao Yue. Needless to say, their marriage was a natural outcome.
Although the Zhao family is from the city and the Lin family is from the countryside, Uncle Lin is good-looking and smart. Moreover, the Lin family said that they would separate after the marriage, and the old man would not stop them if they had the ability to live in the town.
Anyway, since ancient times, the elderly have always followed the eldest brother in their retirement.
This way, the Zhao family would have no excuse to refuse.
Zhao is a gentle person who speaks softly and gives people a sense of intimacy even when she is silent.
When Zhao and her daughter Lin Qing brought in the tea, Lin Ziran was inviting his father, elder brother and two nephews to taste the apples that his shop owner had given them yesterday.
Because he made a considerable contribution in handling the problem goods in the store, the boss rewarded him with a basket.
Otherwise, their family couldn't afford this rare thing.
Lin Qing's personality is similar to Zhao's, she is a gentle girl.
Seeing the old man, he smiled and said, "Grandfather, you've worked hard on the journey. Have some tea to quench your thirst. And the same goes for uncle and two brothers."
Old Man Lin smiled and nodded at her, but he was actually talking to Old Fourth Lin, "Qing girl has grown up and is pretty. Do you have any rules for her lifelong affairs?"
Girls in ancient times were very reserved, especially Lin Qing, who grew up in the city and had a completely different personality from Lin Mei.
When Lin Qing heard about her marriage, she blushed and hid in her room.
Lin Ziran only said that he was making inquiries and there was no specific news yet.
Then he changed the subject and asked the old man, "By the way, Dad, what's the matter with you coming to town to see me this time? Is it about my second sister-in-law's family? I see Ah Hai and Ah He are here too, so I wonder if something happened at home."
Old Man Lin answered him in a good mood, "Nothing happened, but your second sister-in-law's family does need your help."
Without waiting for Lin Ziran to ask what was going on, he continued, "Your second sister-in-law has decided to send Ah He to school. Since you're familiar with the town, I want you to ask about the school. You need to ask about the teacher's character, the school's food and accommodation, and the quality of teaching."
When Lin Ziran heard this, he clapped his hands and laughed happily, "Great news, Dad! Among the younger generation of our Lin family, if we talk about the one who can read, it must be Ah He."
Before Old Man Lin could say anything, he blurted out, "It's not that I look down on my youngest son, your grandson. Although he is still studying in the academy, this kid is so good. He thinks about making money every day and his mind is full of business."
Oh, by the way, Aqiao's mother, it's almost noon. Buy two pounds of meat and two ounces of wine today. Come back and cook for Dad, my eldest brother, and my two nephews, so we can have a good meal together."
Zhao Yue smiled and nodded in response, "Dad, you, big brother, and nephews, please sit down first. I'll go get some food. We'll have lunch here today."
At this time, Lin Hai stood up and took out his bag while saying, "Aunt Si, don't go out to buy anything. When we came here, my mother asked us to bring some homemade braised meat, and I bought some wine when I first arrived in town."
"What is your mother doing? She is so polite, giving you wine, meat, and snacks. Take them back and give them to your brothers and sisters. Bring food and drinks to your aunt's house. How can your aunt treat you badly?" Zhao said jokingly.
Seeing his brother's embarrassment, Lin He smiled bitterly and said to Zhao, "Look at what you said, Fourth Aunt. My mother recently made some braised pork, the kind we sell in town, so I brought it here for Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, and my brothers and sisters to try. Don't worry, everyone else can eat it, but Fourth Uncle, you guys can't eat the food you make at home.
If you let us take her back, my mother probably won't let my brother and I in. Besides, we came here to ask for help from our uncle, so why would we come empty-handed when we need help? "
Old Man Lin spoke up at this time, "Okay, okay, your nephew is very filial. You should also try your second sister-in-law's cooking. It's really amazing. Since you have brought it here, there is no reason to take it back."
Since her father-in-law had spoken, Zhao Shi did not refuse.
