Most of the layout of the house has not changed much, except for a new kang against the north wall.
In the past, when Lin Jingshu slept in winter, she would hold a thermos and cover herself with two quilts, and she would sleep until she woke up naturally without feeling cold at all.
Ding Xiangzhi also once suggested to build a kang in her house, but Lin Jingshu disagreed because it would cause too much dust in the house.
Before they came back, Ding Xiangzhi asked again, and after his daughter nodded, they began to pack up.
The kang was lit early in the morning, and a warm feeling came over Lin Jingshu as she entered the house. She took off her military coat and felt relaxed.
"It's so warm."
Lin Jingshu hugged the quilt with a flushed face.
"Is the child making trouble?"
"The baby is very good. Mommy, I have good news to tell you."
Lin Jingshu told her that she was pregnant with twins.
Ding Xiangzhi didn't react for a long time. Her throat was dry. "Girl, are you serious?"
"Jingshu said that, how could it be false?"
Lin Yonglan pulled the quilt over her and said, "Don't get cold. Cover yourself with more."
Ding Xiangzhi stood up suddenly.
Lin Jingshu blinked, "What's wrong with mother?"
Ding Xiangzhi was a little worried. She was worried about her daughter's small body and a single baby, let alone twins.
Lin Jingshu was also worried, but in order not to let her worry, she could only comfort her first.
Ding Xiangzhi decided, "I'll go and take care of you when you're about to give birth."
She felt uneasy if she didn't see her daughter in person.
"Okay, but my mother-in-law also wants to go."
"It doesn't matter. We two can still help each other when the time comes."
Ding Xiangzhi knew that her daughter was worried that they would not get along well, but it didn't matter. It was all for the sake of her own child. She believed that the two of them would get along well.
After figuring it out, Ding Xiangzhi stopped worrying about it.
"I told your father this good news, but he doesn't know it yet."
Ding Xiangzhi felt that he was the first person to know the good news, so he went out happily and ran into Lin Yongkang head-on.
"I'm telling you..."
"I'm telling you..."
The couple spoke at the same time.
After years of relationship, the two can know what the other is going to say just by looking at each other.
When Lin Yongkang learned from his son-in-law that his daughter was pregnant with twins, he slapped his thigh and laughed so hard that his eyebrows were not visible.
How could he not be happy that there would be two more children in the family?
During the meal, Ding Xiangzhi stuffed a chicken thigh into his daughter's bowl.
"Eat more to replenish your body. When spring comes, I'll raise a few more chickens."
I'll take him to see my daughter when the time comes.
Lin Jingshu has gotten tired of eating chicken legs these past two days. Her mother-in-law stews chicken every day and also stews chicken when she gets home.
If she continues like this, she will soon turn into a chicken.
Her mother looked at her expectantly. Lin Jingshu didn't want to disappoint her elders, so she endured the feeling of nausea and took a big bite.
"Don't you like it?"
Gu Chengze picked up some stir-fried vegetables and put them into his wife's bowl.
Covering your own vegetable garden with film allows you to eat fresh vegetables even in winter. This is the wisdom of the working people.
"Jingshu, do you have a poor appetite?"
Lin Yonglan noticed that the meat in her niece's bowl was hardly touched.
"No."
Lin Jingshu was afraid that her mother would notice something was wrong.
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Ding Xiangzhi took the chicken leg in front of her and picked up a sweet and sour radish with chopsticks.
"Eat some pickles to calm you down."
"Mom is the best to me."
Lin Jingshu leaned on her shoulder and acted coquettishly.
Ding Xiangzhi smiled and touched her face.
After dinner, the family sat around the stove and warmed themselves by the fire.
Ding Xiangzhi roasted the dried fruits that his family had found in the mountains in autumn on the stove, and the air was filled with the aroma of burnt fruits.
Lin Yonglan: "How many days can Jingshu stay this time?"
"About three or four days, with little time off and a lot of delays on the way back and forth."
Three or four days is already a long vacation.
Ding Xiangzhi sighed. This marriage was good in every way except that his daughter lived a little far away.
Lin Yonglan and her family went back home after dinner.
With the help of Liu Zhaodi and Aunt Luo, everyone in the team knew about the news that the team leader's daughter had returned to visit her family.
Mrs. Lin's family is no exception.
Lin Yongchang sat on the bench with a frown on his face. The old dry cigarette in his hand had burned out and he held it in his hand without any reaction.
After a while, he suddenly stood up and walked out.
"What are you doing?"
Mrs. Lin called out behind him.
Lin Yongchang said without turning his head: "I'm going to my eldest brother's house."
"Don't go!"
Mrs. Lin shouted angrily, scaring the hens walking in the yard so much that they jumped up.
The door to the west room clanged open. Widow Liu stood at the door, her belly protruding. She said with an unhappy look on her face, "What are you making so much noise for? Don't you know I'm still sleeping?"
After saying that, he closed the door without paying attention to everyone's expressions.
Lin Yongchang's lips drooped, and there was a layer of frost on his dark face.
Ever since Widow Liu came into the family, everything has gone wrong. First, their son's job went bankrupt, and then their daughter wanted a divorce.
It's a definite disaster. If they continue like this, their family will be ruined sooner or later.
Sometimes he really wanted to punch his son's head to see what he was thinking, and how he could be fooled by a woman.
How shameful!
Lin Yongchang was both angry and helpless because Widow Liu was pregnant with the Lin family's child.
He is in his forties now, and what he hopes most is to hold his grandson in his arms.
Widow Liu was filled with hatred and anger, yet she dared not move, for fear of hurting her precious grandson.
Mrs. Lin spat, put her hands on her hips and cursed in the yard: "You little bitch who was born by a mother but not raised by one. Our old Lin family is so unlucky to have such a wicked woman. I, an old man, still have to be scolded by you. I won't live anymore..."
