Lin Wanwan immediately stood up, "Why did you suddenly come back? You didn't even call?"
"Isn't this a surprise for you? A surprise?" Lin Xiaohai reached out his hand to her.
Lin Wanwan immediately stepped forward and hugged him, tears welling up in her eyes.
"I thought something had happened to you. Why did you suddenly come back?" Lin Wanwan's voice was a little choked up as she hugged him tightly.
After graduating with a master's degree, Lin Xiaohai applied directly to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Lin Wanwan was the first to find out. She was very surprised and kept asking him if he took the exam because of her.
Lin Xiaohai said with a smile, "Sister, you're only part of the reason. I know you're afraid I'll live in your shadow and lose my way, but no, you've always been guiding me."
Lin Wanwan stared at him for a long time. "I will support you in doing whatever you want, and I hope you really want to do it."
Lin Xiaohai stepped forward and hugged her. "Sister, I'm not the kind of person who would force myself. I really hadn't decided what I wanted to do, otherwise I wouldn't have taken the postgraduate entrance exam. I was thinking of following in Dad's footsteps and entering the civil service."
But before I took the postgraduate entrance exam, we had a long talk all night, and I did some research myself. I think being a diplomat sounds pretty good.
Lin Wanwan let go of him. "You've been in France for two years, how come you've become so mature? You look like an old man?"
Lin Xiaohai chuckled and said, "Sis, I call this maturity and composure. I'm almost thirty."
Lin Wanwan was a little dazed. He had been at the Chinese Embassy in France for five years and hadn't been home for five years.
"Why did you suddenly come home this time? Take my phone and call Mom first."
Lin Xiaohai sat down next to her and obediently made a phone call to He Yumei.
"Yes, Mom, it's me."
"I just arrived, and now my sister is here."
"It's nothing. I haven't been back for five years, so I came back for a vacation."
"My sister and I are going back in a bit, I'll hang up now. Really, nothing's wrong, I'm hanging up now."
Lin Wanwan kept staring at him. "Has there been any change at work?"
Lin Xiaohai said with a smile, "How come I can't hide anything from you?"
"Are you being transferred back to China?"
Lin Xiaohai nodded, "It's not certain yet. He'll be back, but not so soon."
Upon hearing the news, Lu Feng rushed back.
Lin Xiaohai saw him and called out, "Brother-in-law."
"Why didn't you tell us you were coming back? We could have come to pick you up."
"You and my sister are so busy, what's the point of taking this call?"
Lin Wanwan got up and dressed. "Where are Xiao Jing and Xiao Ming? Let's go to Mom's. Grandma's probably getting impatient waiting at home."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Jing's voice could be heard calling from the courtyard.
"Uncle!!! Uncle!!!"
Lin Wanwan turned around and saw a figure rushing over and clinging to Lin Xiaohai.
Lin Xiaohai caught him steadily, saying, "You're such a big guy now, why are you still clinging to me?"
Turning to look at the composed Xiaoming, he reached out to him, "Aren't you going to give your uncle a hug?"
Lu Ming ran over and hung on him.
"Uncle~~"
"Let's go to your grandma's house."
The group set off in a grand procession.
Upon seeing Lin Xiaohai, He Yumei burst into tears.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"
Lin Xiaohai hugged his mother and comforted her for a long time before the old lady stopped crying.
"I've already called your dad back, he should be here soon."
Lin Xiaohai said helplessly, "Why is it such a big deal for me to come home? Isn't my dad busy at work?"
“What’s there to be busy about? You’re about to retire. You have no idea how much your dad misses you. He’s been talking about you every day these past few days, saying you haven’t been back for years.”
As she spoke, He Yumei was about to shed tears again.
Lin Xiaohai quickly changed the subject, telling some interesting stories from his time in France.
Lin Jianbang went home shortly afterward.
Seeing him, she didn't say anything, but reached out and patted his shoulder, saying in a deep voice, "You've become more mature."
Lin Xiaohai laughed and said, "Dad, I'm almost thirty years old. If I don't mature a bit, what have I done with all these years?"
Lin Jianbang asked him briefly about his work.
I was very happy to know that he would be transferred back soon.
Lin Xiaohai looked at his sister and asked, "Did Brother Jinyan get promoted again?"
"Yes, Old Hu has retired, and Brother Jinyan has taken his place."
Lin Xiaohai laughed and said, "Brother Jinyan is amazing. I guess I'll have to work under him."
Lin Wanwan raised an eyebrow and joked, "That's good. Brother Jinyan is very strict, so be prepared."
Lin Xiaohai raised an eyebrow. "I'll call Jinyan tomorrow and tell him you've been talking badly about him."
"You think I'm afraid?"
He Yumei and Lin Wanwan cooked a large table of dishes themselves.
Lin Xiaohai sighed, holding his chopsticks, "I don't even know which dish to start eating from."
Lin Wanwan picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for him, saying, "What's with the fuss? Pick whichever you want to eat."
As she spoke, she placed another piece of braised pork on his plate.
Lin Xiaohai didn't stand on ceremony and ate in a whirlwind.
"Were you abused abroad?"
While eating, Lin Xiaohai answered his sister's question, "No food abroad is as good as what you and Mom make. Sis, I want to eat hot pot tomorrow."
“Okay, let’s go out for hot pot as a family tomorrow. It’s on me. Let’s invite Mom and my older brother.”
Lin Xiaohai nodded frantically, "Okay, okay, I'll eat a whole table by myself."
Lin Jianbang shook his head helplessly, "I was just praising you for being steady."
He Yumei was a little frightened when she saw him eating so much. "Don't overeat."
"Mom, don't worry about him, he's a grown man."
As expected, an unexpected incident occurred; Lin Xiaohai stuffed himself until he was stuffed full.
"Take a few digestive pills?" Lin Wanwan handed him a strip of pills.
"Sister, this is for children."
He Yumei said with a smile, "You're just like a child, you can eat until you're stuffed. I've told you to take it easy."
"Sis, take me out for a late-night snack later."
Lin Wanwan looked at him speechlessly, "You can still eat?"
"Just let me process this, you don't have to go to work tomorrow."
Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Xiaohai tugged at her clothes and pretended to be pitiful.
"Sis, I want hot pot for supper."
Lin Wanwan looked at him speechlessly, "Then lie down for half an hour, go out for a run. I'm really afraid you'll overdo it. Xiao Jing, Xiao Ming, take your uncle out for a bike ride, or go play basketball with your friends."
Lu Jing immediately perked up, "Okay, okay!"
"Sis~ It's so cold outside, you want me to go out and play basketball?"
"Uncle, we're all playing in the indoor gym, so you won't get cold."
Lu Jing gave Lin Xiaohai an expression that said, "You're so ignorant," which made Lin Xiaohai jump up from the sofa in anger.
"Come here, haven't you had a beating from me in a long time?"
Lu Jing hid behind his brother, "Uncle, you're so childish."
"Do you believe I'll get your mom to beat you up?"
"I don't believe you. My mom won't beat me, but she definitely will."
Lin Wanwan had a headache from the noise. "I'll beat you two up together. If you have any energy left, go outside and burn it off. Don't tear the house apart."
