"Okay then," she replied softly, a smile unconsciously creeping onto her lips.
The atmosphere between the two gradually relaxed.
Zhou Lin recounted his journey from studying medicine to working at a military hospital, while Lin Huan talked about how she got into university and became a teacher.
They discovered that they both enjoyed reading the same author's works, secretly kept several "banned books," and cared about the well-being of their ordinary fellow villagers.
When Bai Yajing arrived and saw this scene, she knew something was going to happen. She smiled and wiped her hands as she greeted the two of them, "Let's eat! Let's go eat first!"
Let's talk about this after we finish eating!
The two quickly got up to help. They knew the house very well and knew where the things were and what to do without being told.
Xiao Ying is pregnant. It's not easy for her to get pregnant at her age. Her grandparents don't want her to overwork and want her to stay home and rest.
Therefore, she has been staying at home obediently and hasn't come over recently.
Grandpa and Grandma came out of the kitchen, and the little fourth child followed closely behind.
She is three years old this year. She is soft, cute, fair and tender, and her family dotes on her.
Zhou Lin was very familiar with her. He often brought food and toys for his master's children. He squatted down and picked her up, taking a small toy from his pocket to coax the child, "Little Zhiwei, did you miss Uncle Zhou?"
The fourth child raised his chubby little hand and patted him like an adult, saying, "Want! Want! Zhou..."
Her mature demeanor made everyone laugh.
Grandma smiled and took the toy from his hand, placing it on the table. "Ah Lin, go eat your food. Don't worry about this little rascal! She's already full! Let her play by herself!"
Zhou Lin obediently put the baby down and sat down to eat.
The meal was a pleasure for both the host and guests.
In the afternoon, Zhou Lin was going back. It was quite a distance from here to his home, so Bai Yajing offered to drive him and put his bicycle on the roof of the car.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Huan mustered up her courage and got into the car with her grandparents, encouraged by their gazes.
Bai Yajing watched this scene with satisfaction.
When Zhou Lin saw her get into the car together, he was overjoyed, and the joy in his eyes was impossible to hide.
The three chatted and laughed all the way, creating a pleasant atmosphere.
Upon arriving at the Zhou family home, Bai Yajing naturally had to go in and greet Zhou's parents.
Upon entering the courtyard, they discovered that only Zhou's father was home.
After exchanging greetings and a few pleasantries, they decided to take Lin Huan back with them.
The courtyard gate was suddenly pushed open, and a woman in her fifties walked in carrying a vegetable basket. Lin Huan immediately stood up; she guessed it—it was Zhou Lin's mother.
"Mom, you're back." Zhou Lin stood up and introduced, "This is Teacher Lin from No. 1 Middle School, and also my mentor's sister."
Lin Huan greeted her with a polite smile, "Aunt Zhou, hello, I'm Lin Huan."
Bai Yajing smiled and stepped forward, "Aunt Zhou, you've come back from grocery shopping?"
This is my younger sister. She brought Ah Lin back today, and she was worried about my safety driving late, so she came with me.
Zhou's mother smiled kindly, "Hehehe, thank you for taking him home. This kid, he doesn't even know how to ride his bike home!"
Of course she knew her son had gone to his master's house to have a fortune told. She couldn't wait to turn around and look Lin Huan up and down for a moment, then lingered on her pretty face for a second: "Teacher Lin? You're really handsome!"
A teacher? That's good. By the way, what do your parents do?
The girl is really pretty, and she and her son are a perfect match! So she just casually asked.
Upon hearing this, Lin Huan's heart sank. She knew what this question meant.
