"Let's not talk about this for now. You two are still young. It's nothing to train in the countryside for another two years."
Lin Tieshan took the initiative to stop the topic. His wife wanted their daughter to be transferred back to be closer to him, and there was nothing wrong with that as a mother.
But what the daughter said was even more correct. Both children were extremely filial. They would not do such a thing as abandoning their grandfather's family on the farm and returning to the city to enjoy themselves.
Next, Lin Wanru recounted her experiences after going to the countryside. Although she had mentioned most of the things in her letters, when she saw her parents whom she had not seen for a long time, Lin Wanru could not help but share them.
At first, Lin Tieshan and his wife listened very carefully, but as they listened, they felt something was wrong.
"My dear, are you holding a commendation meeting for Bai Yi?"
Lin Tieshan could hear that all his daughter's experiences, as long as they involved Yang Baiyi, were full of praise without hesitation.
"But what they said is true! Dad, if you have a chance, go to Chenjiatun and listen to what the members of the commune say about Baiyi."
Lin Tieshan and his wife choked when they heard this, and Lin Wanru felt that it was far from enough.
"I'm not going to listen anymore. It's almost time to make dinner. Let your father listen alone."
Liang Fengxia couldn't hold on any longer and hid in the kitchen.
"My daughter, you've all been exhausted from the journey. You should take a rest. Daddy still has some military business to attend to."
Lin Tieshan also simply hid in the study.
"How annoying! They kept saying they missed me and that I was back in their letters, but they were actually avoiding me."
Lin Wanru, who was sitting on the sofa, stomped her little feet on the ground twice to express her dissatisfaction.
"Alright, who told you to hold back? You're praising me in every way you say. It's a wonder they like it.
Let's pack our bags while we have nothing to do."
Seeing Lin Wanru throwing a tantrum, Yang Baiyi couldn't help but reach out and rub her head.
"Oh, yeah! We came back suddenly and didn't tell our family, so they definitely didn't help me clean the room.
I haven’t lived at home for over a year, and I don’t know how dirty my room is.”
Lin Wanru and Yang Baiyi began to move the luggage to the second floor. The little girl also helped, carrying the things she could carry.
The Lin family lives in a two-story building. There are only two rooms on the first floor besides the living room, dining room and kitchen.
One room is where Lin Tieshan and his wife live, and the other is Lin Tieshan’s study, where he usually handles some military affairs.
There are four rooms on the second floor. Lin Xiao and Lin Wanru each have one, and the remaining two are guest rooms, most of which are empty.
"You can choose either of these two rooms. There are ready-made beds and furniture in them."
Lin Wanru pointed to the two rooms on the north side. The room on the south side facing the sun belonged to Lin Xiao and Lin Wanru.
"OK."
Yang Baiyi casually pushed open a door. It was very tidy inside, and it seemed that it was cleaned regularly.
That’s right, my father-in-law has so many guards under his command, how could they let the commander’s room be covered in dust?
"Mom, how did you prepare so many delicious dishes today? There's even mutton."
The three of them had just settled down in the room when Lin Xiao's voice came from downstairs.
"The logistics department didn't have the ability to get mutton. This is what your sister and Yang Baiyi brought when they came here. They didn't finish it on the train."
"What? My sister and Yang Baiyi are here? Where are they? Are they upstairs?"
Before Liang Fengxia could finish her words, Lin Xiao came running upstairs.
"Brother Lin Xiao, long time no see."
At the stairs, Yang Baiyi saw Lin Xiao running up.
"You little brat, you didn't even send a telegram before coming back."
The two men hugged each other at the stairs.
"Don't leave today. Let's have a good drink later. We can sleep in the same room tonight and have a long chat!"
When in Chenjiatun, Yang Baiyi said that he would bring his sister back to visit relatives after the spring. Unexpectedly, he came back just after the 15th, which really gave Lin Xiao a surprise.
"Drinking is fine, but sleeping together is fine. I don't want to sleep with a heavy smoker."
Yang Baiyi didn't hate the smell of cigarettes. In fact, he also smoked in his previous life. He just simply didn't want to lie in bed with a man.
"Good boy, you actually dare to despise me."
"Brother, whose brother are you?"
When Lin Wanru heard Lin Xiao's voice, she happily came out of the house with the little girl, intending to see her brother's expression when he saw her.
But Lin Xiao was only concerned with pulling Yang Baiyi, wanting to drink and sleep in the same quilt, and he didn't pay any attention to himself standing beside him.
Just now, her parents didn't want to listen to her, and now her brother was ignoring her. Lin Wanru suspected that she had returned to a fake home.
"Of course I'm your brother."
Only then did Lin Xiao notice that his sister was sulking beside him, and he quickly let go of Yang Baiyi's hand.
"Humph! If I hadn't called you, you would have dragged Bai Yi downstairs to drink. How could you have noticed me, who was so pitiful? Xiao Xiao, let's go eat first and ignore them."
After Lin Wanru returned home, the familiar environment and her beloved family made her transform from a sensible and capable female educated youth into the proud little princess again.
"Brother Lin Xiao, it's like my sister is angry! You're in trouble!"
When going downstairs, the little girl was pulled by Lin Wanru, and she didn't forget to make faces at Lin Xiao.
"It's all your fault. You stood like a wall at the entrance of the stairs, so I didn't see my sister coming. Couldn't you just run slower and walk behind my sister?"
Lin Xiao immediately put the blame on Yang Baiyi.
"Yes, yes, it's my fault. I'll drink three cups of wine as an apology to you later."
The two of them also followed him downstairs. At this time, Lin Wanru and Yang Xiaoxiao had already helped to carry the dishes out from the kitchen.
"How did you offend Wanru again? She even had a sullen look on her face while serving dishes in the kitchen."
In the restaurant, Liang Fengxia asked casually while setting the table.
"Mom, this time I'm really to blame. I saw Yang Baiyi at the stairs and chatted with her for a while. I didn't notice my sister standing behind me, and I ignored my most beautiful and lovely sister."
In front of his sister, Lin Xiao has always been quick to admit his mistakes and he also knows what his sister likes to hear.
"Hmph! I'll let you off this time, but if you dare to ignore me again, I'll ignore you forever."
Lin Wanru snorted proudly and pulled the little girl to wash her hands.
As soon as Yang Baiyi went downstairs, he saw two blue and white porcelain pickle jars in the living room. Yang Baiyi didn't know what era they were from.
"Uncle, the kitchen uses antiques to pickle pickles?"
Luoshui City is the ancient capital of nine dynasties and has countless cultural relics, but it is a bit of a luxury to use them to pickle pickles.
"These were all things that were looted after the victory when we were cleaning up the traitors.
All the gold, silver and jewelry were turned over to the national treasury, and the remaining bottles and jars were not wanted by the country, but it would be a pity to throw them away, so they were kept.
There are plenty of these things in the warehouse, do you want them? If you do, let Lin Xiao take you to pick them tomorrow."
