Chapter 462: Chapter 3 Uncomfortable_2
"He’s working overtime. Besides, you guys have a lot of people, and there aren’t enough seats in the car. Luckily, Sisi and the others are still small and can sit on the adults’ laps," Shen Xiu said with a light laugh.
Well, Shen Chi, Lin Xiaoguai, Shen Yinian, and Wang Meilan each took a seat, and each held a child. It was just right.
Lin Xiaoguai was sweating a little. Luckily, the traffic rules in the city weren’t as strict as in the future. Otherwise, their severe overloading would surely have resulted in a fine.
However, the child who ended up on Wang Meilan’s lap during the ride was not happy.
"Sister Meilan, you smell so bad!" Shen Yiqiao lost at rock-paper-scissors and had to sit on Wang Meilan’s lap, but she couldn’t help expressing her disdain.
Wang Meilan’s face immediately turned awkward. As Lin Xiaoguai glanced over and saw the makeup on her face, her gaze sharpened.
Wang Meilan felt nervous under her gaze, yet somewhat puzzled.
"You’re not allowed to wear makeup when we go to see your grandma tomorrow," Lin Xiaoguai said flatly, then stopped looking at her.
After staying one night at Shen Xiu’s home, Lin Xiaoguai and others headed to Fengyuan Village early in the morning.
There had been significant changes in Fengyuan Village. What used to be considered good if a house had two stories was now a village of villas, each with its own charm by mountains and water. The air quality here was also excellent. Although there wasn’t a particularly big difference from that in the Capital now, she knew that in the future, this gap would grow wider until industries started relocating to the countryside.
"Sister Hanfang!" Upon arrival, Lin Xiaoguai’s first sight was Tang Hanfang hanging sheets on the balcony.
"Wanwan!?" Seeing them, Tang Hanfang paused, then greeted them with surprise, "Didn’t you say you would come back a few days later?"
"Little Niangao got time off earlier, so we came over," Lin Xiaoguai responded loudly.
"Wait there, I’ll come down and open the door for you," Tang Hanfang said.
In fact, the Lin Xiaoxi family had already moved to the county town to live. However, they had returned to Fengyuan Village recently because Li Fangmei wanted to "return to her roots."
"Come in, come in quickly." Tang Hanfang led them inside, instructing them to sit while asking, "Have you all had breakfast?"
"We have. We ate at my little aunt’s," Lin Xiaoguai inquired, "Is my brother not home?"
"He’s out and busy. Nowadays, I take care of Mom during the day, and he sleeps in Mom’s room to keep her company at night. My older sisters and younger sisters come over to visit whenever they can," Tang Hanfang replied while pouring them tea.
"What about Xiao Xue and Aqi?" asked Lin Xiaoguai.
"Xiao Xue will be back tomorrow. Aqi is at school," Tang Hanfang answered.
Lin Xiaoguai nodded, then asked eagerly, "Can I go see Aunt now?"
"Let’s wait until after we’ve eaten," Tang Hanfang considered for a moment, then said, "Mom just woke up once. She likely won’t wake up again until the afternoon."
"I’ll just watch by her side," Lin Xiaoguai pleaded.
"Alright, but you should go alone. Too many people might disturb her rest," Tang Hanfang said with a smile.
Lin Xiaoguai couldn’t help but frown and ask, "Is Aunt always sleeping like this now?"
"There’s no helping it," Tang Hanfang sighed, "The doctor said her organs are so aged that it’s already good that she’s not in pain."
"Does Aunt have any favorite foods now? I’ll ask Shen Chi and Shen Yinian to go buy them," Lin Xiaoguai said with a sour nose, softly asking.
"Nothing." Seeing Lin Xiaoguai’s discontent, Tang Hanfang quickly added, "Really, Mom doesn’t care about food or clothing now; she just wants to see the younger generation. She’ll definitely be happy to see you."
After a pause, she couldn’t help but sigh, "You’ve come early. The grandson from my oldest sister’s family, the one who went abroad to study, he calls and says a bunch of nice things, but he never mentions when he’ll come back. I think he’s probably reluctant to spend the money on a plane ticket, not willing to come back to the country just for Mom."
Lin Xiaoguai sighed. It was inevitable. Each generation’s blood ties and affections grow thinner.
The elderly might still think of the younger ones, but the youngsters hardly keep the elders in their hearts at all.
When she reached Li Fangmei’s room, she indeed found her still asleep. Seeing her frail and gaunt face, Lin Xiaoguai’s eyes grew hot with tears almost falling.
Her second uncle and second aunt had left in a hurry, and she hadn’t managed to see them one last time. The thought that her father had also passed away in his sleep made her feel even worse.
Seeing her sentimentality, Tang Hanfang reached out and hugged her, "Do you want to go out with me?"
Lin Xiaoguai nodded her head; she was afraid she might cry out loud and disturb Aunt.
To her surprise, Li Fangmei didn’t wake up even in the afternoon, but Lin Haohao’s family arrived out of nowhere because Lin Meilan was coming back for the first time in years.
However, Lin Xiaoguai didn’t give them the opportunity to catch up; instead, she pulled Lin Haohao and Lin Yulan aside.
"Sister Haohao, don’t let Meilan go to the Capital this time. I’ve packed her things and brought them over," she said straightforwardly.
"What do you mean?" Lin Haohao was baffled, "Isn’t Meilan doing well there? Although state-owned enterprises aren’t as popular as they used to be, isn’t her factory still performing well? She said she now makes a salary of 700 yuan a month."
Unlike Lin Haohao, who believed her daughter completely, Wang Yulan was already frowning.
"She hasn’t been working at that textile factory for a long time!" Lin Xiaoguai hadn’t expected Wang Meilan to deceive her own mother in that way, and she angrily said, "You ask her, from the second year she arrived in the Capital until now, how many rich boyfriends she’s been involved with, relying on being our relative. She lives off them, uses their things, but is still picky and refuses to settle down. And now, look what disgraceful things she’s done!" (To be continued.
