When Xiaozhu fell asleep, Xiao Zhengcai quietly left the room. Exhaling a breath, he took out his cell phone and called Lao Lin.
"Yes." When the call was connected, Lao Lin made a calm voice.
"Where are you at the company?" Xiao Zheng walked downstairs slowly.
"Yeah." Lin Huayin said.
"I'm at Xiaozhu's house. She's sick." Xiao Zheng reported the situation.
"Is it serious?" Lin Huayin asked.
"She just has a cold and a fever. I just made her a bowl of noodles and took medicine. She has gone to bed now." Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and said. "It's probably because of recent events."
"I'll come over here," Lin Huayin said.
"No need, right?" Xiao Zheng said half-jokingly and half-seriously. "I also plan to go out to buy some food and cook a big meal for my sister-in-law later. Aren't you disturbing our enjoyment?"
"Have you cooked a feast?" Lin Huayin asked in a neutral tone.
"Okay. But you don't have to come here in a hurry. Xiaozhu just went to bed." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "I'm going to buy groceries first. I'll let you know when everything is ready."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zheng went out to buy groceries.
Because he had lived with Xiaozhu for a while before, he basically knew what kind of dishes Xiaozhu liked to eat. After buying the main ingredients, he bought a lot of snacks and fruits. I'm just afraid that Xiaozhu won't take care of himself and will eat fast food takeout every day.
When Xiao Zheng returned to Xiaozhu's house, he found a BMW parked at the door. It was Lao Lin's car. He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Old Lin really can't wait for a second."
When she entered the room, Lin Huayin had already changed into slippers and was working on her computer. Seeing Xiao Zheng entering the room, she put down her computer and said, "Is it all Xiaozhu's favorite food?"
"It's necessary." Xiao Zheng put all the ingredients in the refrigerator, then made two cups of coffee, and sat next to Lao Lin and said. "There is something I want to discuss with you."
"Yeah." Lin Huayin nodded.
"You see, Xiaozhu refuses to go home. It is always inconvenient for a girl to live alone. If she catches a cold, there is no one to take care of her." Xiao Zheng said tentatively. "How about—"
"I'll ask her later." Lin Huayin pursed her lips and said.
"Are you worried too?" Seeing that Lao Lin had no objection, Xiao Zheng took a sip of coffee and asked. "I'm the same as you. I'm also afraid that Xiaozhu won't want to live with us. After all, going to our place would be a slap in the face to her parents."
Lin Huayin took a sip of coffee and said, "I'll cook first." She seemed unwilling to mention the Lin family.
Although it is said to be a big meal, most of them are easy-to-digest dishes. Even the soup is light and refreshing. In line with the patient, Xiao Zheng doesn't like him very much.
While Lao Lin was busy in the kitchen, Xiao Zheng mopped the dust that had accumulated for half a month in the living room repeatedly. He wiped the sweat from his forehead until the floor was shiny enough to be seen. Let out a breath.
Doing housework is really a delicate job. If you work hard, it will be tiring. Xiao Zheng is a dignified 18-foot-tall man who is taken care of by Lao Lin as his uncle at home. How could I have done so much housework? After throwing away the mop, Xiao Zheng threw his body on the soft sofa, ate a banana, and muttered to Lao Lin who was busy in the kitchen: "I will make one more braised pork dish in a while. I urgently need to replenish my physical energy."
"Um."
Lao Lin's plain voice came from the kitchen. As always, convey it with actions and cherish words like gold.
When Xiaozhu woke up, his body had regained some strength. She didn't know whether it was because she had gotten enough rest or because the medicine was taking effect, suppressing her not-so-serious cold. As soon as I got downstairs, I saw two familiar figures busy in the living room. I was startled, it was my sister and brother-in-law.
"Sister, brother-in-law—" Lin Xiaozhu was touched and surprised. "Why are you all here?"
I thought that when I fell asleep, my brother-in-law would go back to work at the company. But I didn't expect that when I woke up, not only my brother-in-law hadn't left, but my sister, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, also came over.
No need to think about it, it must be the brother-in-law who snitched.
"Are you feeling better?" Lin Huayin approached Xiaozhu and said in a gentle tone.
"Much better. I'm sweating all over. My head isn't heavy anymore." Lin Xiaozhu nodded and said.
"Go and wash up. You can eat soon." Lin Huayin said.
"What your sister cooks is what you like to eat." Xiao Zheng, who was holding the plate at the side, said with a grin.
Lin Xiaozhu's eyes turned slightly red. He bit his lip and said, "Yeah!"
Dinner was very enjoyable. Xiao Zheng dominated the conversation, and from time to time brought up some past events that were considered 'secret' during the Pearl period. This made Lin Xiaozhu squirm and take a peek at Lin Huayin's reaction.
Seeing her sister's face calm, she breathed a sigh of relief. But then I thought about it, now I am working and independent. Why should I be afraid of my sister
After all, it was the relationship between elder sister and mother that made her subconsciously fear her sister. Don't dare to be presumptuous in the slightest.
"Oh. I really miss my days in Mingzhu." Xiao Zheng took a sip of juice and sighed.
In fact, it was not just him, including Lin Xiaozhu and even Lin Huayin. Deep down in my heart, I also miss my life in Mingzhu. It’s simple, there’s no fighting, and there’s no headache to deal with around the house. Feel relaxed.
"Xiao Zhu." Xiao Zheng saw that the preparation was enough. Put down the juice track. "I've discussed it with your sister. Since you don't want to go back to the Lin family now, why don't you just stay with us? Firstly, you can have a hot meal, and secondly, it's convenient to go to work."
Some words can be stopped at the click of a button. To put it more deeply, I am afraid that it will arouse Xiaozhu's rebellious psychology. Everyone wants to save face. Who is willing to give alms? Especially Lin Laoyao's daughter.
Hearing this, Lin Xiaozhu slowly suppressed the smile on his face, and said solemnly: "Sister, brother-in-law, I know you are good for me and care about my life. But I have decided not to return to the Lin family, let alone move. I’m going to live with you.”
When Xiao Zheng heard this, his heart sank.
It seems that my sister-in-law has also thought of this. He’s really grown up.
"Can you cook?" Lin Huayin raised her eyes and asked.
"Ask the cook to help with the housework." Lin Xiaozhu pretended to be relaxed. "Sister, you have mysophobia and are very territorial. You don't want to take advantage of others. I don't have this problem."
After a pause, Lin Xiaozhu touched his chin and said, "I'm also thinking about hiring a housekeeper and a few servants. I want to live a noble life."
When Xiao Zheng and Xiao Zheng heard what Lin Xiaozhu said, they no longer forced themselves. Xiaozhu has grown up. Even parents’ invitations can be rejected forcefully. What about the sister-in-law
No matter how good the relationship is, I'm afraid it can't change her decision.
After eating, the three of them sat on the sofa, eating fruit and watching TV. It was almost eleven o'clock when Lin Xiaozhu yawned and gave the order to leave.
"I can't open my eyes." Lin Xiaozhu stretched his waist and sent Xiao Zheng and Xiao Zheng to the door of their house. "Good night, sister and husband!"
"Take medicine for one more day." Mother-in-law Xiao Zheng ordered. "To prevent the disease from recurring."
"I know." Lin Xiaozhu rolled his eyes at Xiao Zheng. "Since my brother-in-law became a married man, you have become more and more verbose."
Blast away the two of them. Lin Xiaozhu leaned against the door, and the smile on his pretty face gradually dimmed and turned into ashes: "I will play the role of sister-in-law well."
