Chapter 118 Brothers and Sisters Reunite
The couple arrived at the Lin family home around 4 p.m., where all of Lin's siblings were present.
Wang Yuehua laughed and said, "Your eldest and second eldest sisters said they wanted to have a barbecue at home. The weather is nice today, so we're having it in the gazebo in the yard."
The house is big, and the yard is also big. Lin Jingyun likes to eat barbecue, so she specially set aside a place for barbecue.
Lin Jingyun, wearing an apron, smiled and waved when she saw them: "An'an, brother-in-law, come over here."
Lin Yi'an glanced at her and saw that her face was rosy and she was full of energy. It seemed that the breakup had not affected her too much. She and Zhou Mingshi walked over with smiles.
Lin Manqing pointed to the chairs opposite her and said with a smile, "You guys sit across from me."
After the two sat down, Lin Jingyun said, "I have some milk tea and chilled juice here. What would you like to drink?"
Zhou Mingshi: "Juice..."
Lin Yi-an: "Give him milk tea."
Zhou Mingshi looked at her and said, "The milk tea is hot, and the juice is too cold, which is not good for the stomach."
Zhou Mingshi smiled and said, "Okay."
Lin Jingyun poured them two cups of milk tea.
Lin Hang teased from the side, "So obedient?"
Zhou Mingshi smiled and said, "Yi'an cares about me, why won't I listen?"
Lin Hang cried out in pain.
While grilling the meat, Lin Manqing said, "What do you know, you're a bachelor? How dare you make fun of a married person?"
Wang Yuehua brought over a plate of fruit. Hearing her eldest daughter's words, she said irritably, "Of the five of you siblings, only the youngest, An'an, is married. When are you older brothers and sisters bringing your partners home? A house full of singles. People who don't know any better would think that the children in our Lin family are so bad that they can't even find partners."
Lin Yi-an and Zhou Ming-shih, holding milk tea, hid to the side and laughed.
Lin Jingyun, who had just broken up with her boyfriend, just kept her head down grilling meat and didn't participate in their conversation.
Lin Hang then looked at Lin Su: "Big brother is the boss, he has to take the lead, right, big sister?"
Lin Manqing agreed: "When will you find us a sister-in-law, big brother?"
Lin Su glanced at them: "Shifting the blame?"
Wang Yuehua: "I think they're right. You're the eldest brother, so you should bring them a sister-in-law first."
When the topic of marriage came up, Lin Su remained relatively calm: "I haven't met the right person yet."
Wang Yuehua: "If you don't go looking, of course you won't meet the right person. You have to actively ask others to introduce you to someone..."
Lin Su handed her a cup of milk tea: "Have a cup of milk tea and take a break."
Wang Yuehua glanced at the milk tea in her hand and rolled her eyes at him, but she still sat down and drank milk tea with them. After taking a sip, she started muttering again.
Lin Manqing placed the roasted meat in front of her sister and brother-in-law: "Our mother's nagging about marriage has started again. It has nothing to do with you. You eat."
Lin Yi'an handed the lamb skewers to Zhou Mingshi, saying, "There aren't many chili peppers, eat up."
Zhou Mingshi took it and ate it slowly.
Wang Yuehua glanced at the young couple and smiled, "Knowing that Mingshi can't eat spicy food, we didn't put much chili in any of the meat."
Lin Hang said, "You elders just love watching people get married. Auntie's eyes lit up when she saw An'an and Mingshi..."
Wang Yuehua: "Look, An'an and Mingshi are doing quite well after they got married, aren't they?"
After finishing a skewer of grilled meat, Zhou Mingshi wiped his mouth with a tissue, threw the tissue in the trash can, and said, "There are many advantages to marriage. You have someone to eat with, walk with, shop with, read with..."
Lin Manqing snorted, "That's because our An'an is doing well. If it were someone else, would you be willing?"
Zhou Mingshi: "...I'm unwilling."
Lin Manqing: "See?"
Lin Su: "It's not that I don't want to get married, it's just that I haven't met the right person. An'an and Mingshi can't be our references."
Lin Yi'an has been married for almost two months. Feeling she has some experience, she told her mother, "For two strangers to marry and form a family, they must first be compatible in temperament and share similar values. Ideally, the other person should have qualities that you admire; otherwise, it's not conducive to developing feelings..."
Zhou Mingshi looked at her with a smile.
Lin Su smiled and said, "That makes perfect sense."
Lin Yi-an said, "I'm married, this is based on my experience."
Zhou Mingshi: "We admired each other even before we got engaged."
Lin Yi'an glanced at him, while Zhou Mingshi lowered his eyes: "Isn't that right?"
Lin Yi'an: "...Yes."
Lin Manqing put the teacup on the table: "Then I may be destined to be single for life, and I haven't met the opposite sex that I admire yet."
Lin Su: "I haven't encountered it either."
Lin Hang: "I haven't encountered it either."
Lin Jingyun: "..."
She did encounter such a situation. At first, she admired him, but later she gradually came to dislike him. So sometimes, even if you admire each other, you may not be able to stick with it until the end. Everyone's situation is different, so you can't generalize.
Wang Yuehua stood up irritably: "I'll have the kitchen make you some glutinous rice balls."
The group breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Manqing said, "The meat is ready. Let's eat."
Lin Su looked at Lin Yi'an: "When will the apprenticeship ceremony be held for Elder Qian?"
Lin Yi'an: "Master is preparing to take on two disciples, and they will become disciples together."
Lin Manqing: "We'll prepare the apprenticeship gift for you."
Zhou Mingshi said, "No need, I'm already preparing."
Lin Manqing looked at him: "Do you think that just because An'an is married to you, you can control everything she does?"
Zhou Mingshi said calmly, "Elder sister, An'an and I are husband and wife, we are one, her affairs are my affairs."
Lin Manqing: "An'an is the daughter of the Lin family, our sister. Her affairs are the affairs of the Lin family."
Lin Yi'an looked at the two of them: "Why don't you both prepare a gift?"
The two looked at her at the same time, and Lin Yi'an said, "So we don't have to argue anymore?"
Zhou Mingshi smiled and patted her head: "Okay."
Lin Manqing: "Okay."
Since they got married, the couple rarely stayed overnight at the Lin family's house and never went home at night.
The three sisters went to their eldest sister's room to talk.
After washing up, Zhou Mingshi sat on Lin Yi'an's old bed, watching the news and waiting for her.
Lin Manqing asked Lin Jingyun, "Is that Su You still bothering you?"
Lin Jingyun: "He contacted me once, but I ignored him."
Lin Manqing: "You shouldn't have gotten back together after your first breakup; it wasted so much time..."
Looking back now, Lin Jingyun realizes it was true: "Luckily, my family didn't need me to have a high level of education, otherwise missing the college entrance exam would have ruined my future..."
Lin Yi'an's eyes widened: "You two broke up in high school?"
Lin Jingyun touched her nose: "Mmm."
Lin Manqing rolled her eyes at her: "You broke up in high school? That Su You, I don't know what's so great about him, breaking up and getting back together, entangled for so many years? If you want to be my brother-in-law, you'd at least have to be like Ming Shi..."
Lin Yi'an laughed from the side: "I thought my eldest sister didn't like Ming Shi."
Lin Manqing coughed lightly: "It's not that I don't like it..."
The main problem is that he acts like An'an should be closest to him just because she married him, which is a bit annoying.
