The silent attention during this period and my own awkwardness seemed to have an answer.
Lin Qin's eyes became firm.
Guan Wenxue cried for a while, then stopped, wiped her tears and said, "Comrade Lin Qin, thank you for today."
Lin Qin replied gently: "This is what I should do. If you get into trouble in the future, you can come to me."
Guan Wenxue smiled, still a little embarrassed, "Ask you for help? Aren't you afraid of gossip?"
"Don't be afraid. Those who are not guilty will be innocent. We have behaved uprightly and done the right things, so we are not afraid of a few rumors."
"Well said, Comrade Lin Qin, you have grown up." Guan Wenxue teased.
Lin Qin scratched his head shyly.
"I'm fine, you can go on patrol." Guan Wenxue didn't want him to delay his work.
Lin Qin nodded, walked two or three steps, and suddenly turned back to Guan Wenxue and said, "Comrade Xiaoguan, I sincerely invite you to my house for the New Year's Eve dinner. My grandma has been talking about you, and so have Tiantian and mom. My house is very lively. There is a new neighbor who has moved in. They are a very nice family and will celebrate the New Year with us. If you go now, you might be able to catch up with making dumplings."
Guan Wenxue wanted to refuse, but she couldn't say the words.
She felt warm whenever she thought of the Lin family.
And Grandma Jia...
So, she, who always disliked bothering others, nodded for some unknown reason.
When she came to her senses, she was already at the door of Lin's house.
With a start, she turned around and was about to leave.
At this time, Cai Honglian happened to go out to dump coal slag.
"Teacher Xiaoguan!" Cai Honglian's excited voice rang out, "It's cold outside, come in quickly, we are all missing you."
Having been discovered, Guan Wenxue had no choice but to follow in reluctantly.
When Jia Chunhua saw Teacher Xiaoguan coming, she felt even better. "Oh, your face is red, you must be frozen. Come on, sit down and warm yourself up. Zhengzheng, go get some water."
She was not idle either, and kept stuffing orange candies into Guan Wenxue's hands.
"You kids love this candy, so don't worry, you won't gain weight even if you eat anything during the New Year."
Jia Chunhua knew that Teacher Xiaoguan was a local. His parents and grandmother were no longer around, but he should still have relatives. But there must be a reason why he didn't go back on New Year's Eve.
She doesn't ask, and doesn't mention the child's sad things, but once the child is here, she has to take good care of him.
Guan Wenxue's eyes turned red, and the grievance that she had just suppressed surged up again.
Guan Wenxue sniffed and felt a little embarrassed: "Grandma Jia, I came here today and caused trouble for your family."
"That's not what I want to hear." Jia Chunhua pretended to be angry, "If you do that, I'll make you work."
"Wow, teacher! You're here!" Chu Linyu just went to the bathroom, and as soon as she came out she saw her favorite teacher, Xiaoguan.
She ran over and hugged him, cheek to cheek, "Teacher, you came here because you missed you, didn't you? I was just thinking that if you could come, my year would be perfect!"
"You two can have fun. Dinner will be served soon!" Jia Chunhua saw that Guan Wenxue was in good spirits.
"Grandma, I can help with cooking." Guan Wenxue was about to get up, but Chu Linyu held her down and prevented her from moving.
Jia Chunhua said angrily, "It's up to Chef Jia to come out for the New Year, you kids can go play."
Guan Wenxue sat back on the sofa, looking at the lively crowd in the room, feeling warm in her heart.
It was nice that she was treated like a child again here. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
