Chapter 389: Unexpected People - The Sickly Young Girl's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard

Mother Lin smiled and said, "Isn't it being polished?"

"What do you mean?" Lin Qing didn't quite understand what her mother meant.

"Both sisters-in-law are unwilling to do it, so isn't this a stalemate?"

"Oh!" Lin Qing looked at Lin Shu and suddenly didn't know who to sympathize with.

"Isn't she really tired like that?" Lin Qing looked at Lin's mother eagerly, wanting to get an answer from her.

Mother Lin frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "She should be three or four months pregnant now, but a three or four month pregnant belly really isn't that big. Besides, it must be very tiring to hold it like this."

"You..." Mother Lin was about to continue speaking when she stopped. She looked at Lin Qing with pity. Although she had seen a lot of her young lady's frail body in the past two years, no one knew whether they would have children in the future. The words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat.

"mother?"

"Hmm? Nannan, go and see why your dad hasn't come back yet?" Mother Lin immediately changed her expression and began to change the subject.

"Ah? My dad? Where is my dad? He wouldn't go fishing again, right?" Lin Qing asked subconsciously.

"Not today. I think he went to play chess in the small park on the street in front of you."

"That's good, that's good, Mom, don't always let Dad go fishing. The weather is getting colder now, and if you go out fishing, you might freeze yourself."

"I know, I know." Mother Lin didn't want to listen to her nagging anymore, so she ordered her to go and call someone, "Go to the front street and ask your father to come back! Otherwise he will forget the time while playing chess."

"Okay! Then mom, remember to add more firewood later!"

"I know, I know, hurry up and go!"

Lin Qing stood up, patted his clothes, and went out to look for someone.

Lin Shu still stood firm at the door of the west chamber, "Sister-in-law, how could you do this?"

"You are the only free person in our family. Why don't you come out and work?"

"You said you couldn't work because you were pregnant. Now it's my turn. Come out now!"

…

Even after Lin Qing left the yard, he could still hear her muttering. It seemed that Lin Shu had to call Sister Jiang out.

I just don’t know if she can succeed?

Speaking of which, Lin Shu has seldom annoyed her in the past two years. The two of them are more like familiar strangers who do not disturb each other.

Lin Qing walked slowly, not in a hurry at all. He met many familiar neighbors on the way. These were the ones Lin's mother got to know after she moved in. Otherwise, the couple alone would not have such a large network of relationships.

"Xiao Lin! It's time to get off work!"

"Yes, Aunt Liu, did you just come back from the supply and marketing cooperative?"

"Yes! There is no vegetables at home. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if there are any fresh vegetables." As winter approaches, fresh vegetables are becoming less and less, and the time of their arrival is uncertain. Women who have nothing to do at home can only try their luck from time to time.

"Is there any?"

"Look where it is?" Aunt Liu showed her the wilted vegetables in the basket.

Well, it seems that Aunt Liu’s luck is not that good today.

"Xiao Lin, where are you going?"

"Ah! I just went to call my father home."

"Oh, your parents are the best. Now they are retired and have more time to enjoy themselves every day."

"Fortunately, they still have too much free time! If we hadn't insisted on him retiring, he wouldn't have retired!"

"Alas, your father deserves to be blessed with a filial daughter like you."

Lin Qing smiled and complimented the other party a few times, "Your elder brother Liu and second brother Liu are also very filial!"

Aunt Liu smiled more sincerely, "Our eldest and second sons are indeed very filial, but it's a little hard to find a daughter-in-law."

"Oh, Aunt Liu, don't worry. Brothers Liu (eldest brother) and Liu (second oldest brother) both have jobs, so they won't have trouble finding a wife. Who knows, the right person might come along someday!" Lin Qing praised her again.

The worry on Aunt Liu's face was immediately replaced by a proud expression. Both of her sons passed the job recruitment exam two years ago and got jobs. Many people were envious of them at that time!

"Then I'll borrow your good words!"

The two chatted for a few more sentences and then parted ways.

Lin Qing continued walking towards the small park on Front Street. When he turned the corner and was about to walk towards Front Street, he suddenly caught a glimpse of two people out of the corner of his eye.

Eh? Why do those two look more and more familiar?

Lin Qing saw that the people over there were not paying attention to this side, so he quietly used the wall in front to observe for a few minutes.

Depend on!

Lin Qing cursed in his heart. The man next to Zhang Mengyun looked more and more familiar!

This is not...

How did they end up together?

No, what is their relationship?

Lin Qing's mind was filled with endless thoughts. Shouldn't that person have gone to the countryside? Why did he suddenly appear here? And was he still with Zhang Mengyun?

Lin Qing took another look and shook her head. What does this have to do with her?

He quickly turned around and left.

Lin Qing walked while feeling lucky for her good sister. It was thanks to her that she left, otherwise there would have been another storm.

When Lin Qing walked into the small park, he saw a group of old men gathered in a circle in front of him.

Her father was sitting in the middle playing chess with someone else. I never thought that her father was actually a core player in this chess game!

Lin Qing stood outside without saying anything, and waited until they finished before calling out, "Dad, come home!"

Father Lin had sharp ears and heard the voice of his daughter at once. He immediately put down the chess piece he was about to place, "No more playing, no more playing. My daughter is here to pick me up! I'm leaving first!"

Father Lin stood up with a smile.

"Oh! Lao Lin, your daughter is so beautiful. Is she married?"

"Go away, my daughter is already married!"

"Oh, why get married so early?" Many people were full of regret. If their son could marry such a beautiful daughter-in-law, the grandson born would definitely be very handsome.

"Haha, no matter how regretful you are, it's impossible." After chatting with them for a few words, Father Lin left with Lin Qing.

Lin Qing didn't say much and just waited for his father.

After Lin Qing and Lin's father left, the others started chatting about them behind their backs.

"This Old Lin didn't live here with us before, right?" They had never seen this Old Lin before, and they only became more familiar with him during this period of time.

"He shouldn't be from our company. Wasn't he from the textile factory? Then why did he come here after retirement?"

"And he lives with his daughter. Isn't his daughter married?"

"Hehe! I know, I know. I heard..." Someone actually knew about Lin Qing's family situation and told others about it.

Then it triggered a wave of jealousy!

"Mr. Lin is so lucky. Not only is his daughter so beautiful, but she is also so filial. Why don't I have such a daughter in my family?"

"Hey, who wouldn't want a lady like this?"

…
