Chapter 283 Hidden Concerns
The closer it got to the New Year, the more panicked Lin Qiu became.
In my previous life, I was hit by a flowerpot that fell from the upper floor of my rental house on New Year's Eve.
Although I no longer rent a house in this life, I am still worried that my life will end on this day.
After all, my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and mother all died at the same time in both lives.
So, she felt that she should be no exception.
But she didn't show it and continued doing her daily routine as usual.
I will just ask Wang Shan to come back to Taoyuanju for dinner in the evening.
Wang Shan didn't notice anything unusual about Lin Qiu. She happily ate the meal that she had carefully prepared. After the meal, she took her daughter to accompany her and Wang Xiuren for a walk in the community.
On the evening of the 29th, Lin Qiu took out a new notebook, grabbed a pen, and didn't write a single word for a long time.
Wang Xiuren got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and found that Lin Qiu was not in bed.
When I walked out, I found that the light in the study was on.
After going to the toilet, he walked into the study and found Lin Qiu lying on the desk writing something.
He walked closer and found that what was written was actually a will.
Wang Xiuren suddenly lost all his sleepiness and shouted, "What are you doing?"
Lin Qiu was startled and the pen in his hand fell to the ground.
"I... I just want to make some arrangements in advance while I am still innocent." Lin Qiu picked up the pen and sighed, "The world is unpredictable, who knows what will happen tomorrow."
Wang Xiuren was a little panicked when he saw Lin Qiu like this. "What's wrong with you? Why did you write a will for no reason?"
Lin Qiu shook his head, stood up and held his hand, "I'm fine, I just couldn't sleep, so I thought of taking inventory of the things at home."
"Just count your things, why write a will? Really, you scared me to death." Wang Xiuren held her hand with his backhand, "I was just wondering if you were dreaming again."
"How can there be so many dreams!" Lin Qiu smiled and changed the subject, "Why did you get up?"
"Going to the toilet." Wang Xiuren sighed, "As I get older, I go to the toilet more often at night."
"After the New Year, you should go to the hospital for a physical check-up and check all aspects of your body," Lin Qiu suggested.
"Let's go together."
Lin Qiu paused before answering, "Okay."
The next day was New Year’s Eve and Wang Xiuren’s 60th birthday, so red envelope messages were sent non-stop in several family groups early in the morning.
In the previous life, the Wang family did not have a family group. The Lin family had a family group, but except for notifying each other about information related to personal relationships, the rest of the time they were quiet.
Now both families have set up family groups, and the groups are quite lively.
Lin Li often forwards some health videos and articles in the group, such as the five most popular ingredients for longevity, and the three things you must do to stay energetic all day long...
Lin Hui and Zhou Mei are now in Xingcheng helping Lin Huan take care of the children, so they post some videos of Cheng Cheng when they have nothing to do.
As for the Taoyuanju house, Lin Hui sold it before Lin Huan got married, and then bought a large flat in Xingcheng for each of her two children, and kept the remaining money for her retirement.
Sisters Lin Qiu and Lin Ping would often post photos or videos of Lin Ting and Xiao Yueliang, such as videos of Lin Ting dancing with a sword, videos of Xiao Yueliang attending early childhood education classes, and photos of the family going out to play.
Although the younger generations in the family do not take the initiative to speak in the group, they will actively like the photos or videos, and send red envelopes and blessings in the group during festivals or someone’s birthday.
The Wang family group was much quieter. Apart from greetings during festivals, the rest of the time they would send messages about personal connections back home, such as which child got married, which elder passed away...
Wang Xiuren happily responded to everyone's blessings and greetings one by one, and also accepted the red envelopes sent by everyone.
Lin Qiu looked at her husband who was full of joy and felt happy for him.
"Click"
The door opened.
Wang Shan led her husband, children, and parents-in-law into the house.
"Grandpa, happy birthday!" Little Moon shouted loudly, holding a large bouquet of flowers in her hands.
The flowers were so big that they blocked her head completely, and only her clear voice could be heard.
Wang Xiuren rushed over and picked her up with the flowers, "Thank you, Little Moon."
"Dad, happy birthday!" Yan Shen said with a smile.
Yan's father and mother also said: "My dear, I wish you a happy birthday and a long life."
Wang Xiuren responded one by one, put his granddaughter on the sofa, and hurried forward to take the things from his in-laws. Lin Qiu also warmly invited them to sit down.
After a while of greeting each other, everyone started to prepare lunch.
Nowadays, there is no habit of men being hands-off bosses. Everyone squeezes into the kitchen together, some wash vegetables, some cut vegetables, some cook, some do odd jobs, and everyone talks and works in a lively manner.
Soon, bursts of fragrance came from the kitchen.
At this time, cheerful and festive songs were playing on TV, and Xiaoyue was playing a puzzle under the guidance of her mother.
"Mom, it smells so good." Little Moon held a puzzle piece in her hand, closed her eyes, and inhaled deeply through her nose, "It's Rourou."
Wang Shan was touched by her daughter's adorable expression and took a photo with her phone.
"Look, who is this little foodie?" She opened the photo and placed it in front of Little Moon.
Little Moon opened her eyes and found that it was herself on the phone. She grinned and looked at her mother: "It's me, Little Moon."
"What's wrong with Little Moon?" Wang Xiuren came out holding a small bowl.
"Look, look at this little foodie, his expression is amazing!" Wang Shan held up her cell phone.
"Hahaha"
Wang Xiuren laughed out loud, then picked up a piece of crispy meat with chopsticks and put it to Xiaoyue's mouth, "Little foodie, eat some meat!"
Little Moon took a bite of the meat and began to chew it happily.
After eating, he opened his mouth towards Wang Xiuren again.
Wang Xiuren continued feeding with a smile.
"You're so greedy, be careful not to become a little fat girl." Wang Shan gently tapped her daughter's cheek.
"Being able to eat is a blessing. A healthy diet keeps you healthy. If she likes to eat, let her eat." Wang Xiuren gently pushed her fingers away.
"Dad, I've discovered that ever since Xiaoyue came into being, you've been partial to her." Wang Shan said deliberately.
"How could that be?" Wang Xiuren denied it.
"Now you and your mother are only thinking about Little Moon..."
Wang Xiuren blocked her mouth with a piece of meat. "Your mother and I are thinking about Xiaoyueliang because she is your daughter! You are so old, but you are still jealous of your own daughter."
When Wang Shan heard this, she immediately became excited.
"Dinner is ready!" Yan Shen came out with a bowl of soup and shouted into the living room.
"Okay!"
At noon, the whole family gathered together to celebrate Wang Xiuren’s 60th birthday.
At the dinner table, everyone was laughing and talking, sharing every little bit of the past year.
After lunch, Wang Shan said that she hadn't been to the park for a long time, so she arranged for the whole family to go for a walk around Lixin Lake. There were many decorations there to welcome the New Year, and it created a great atmosphere.
Although there was still a trace of worry in his heart, Lin Qiu decided not to think about it anymore and followed his daughter out.
