Chapter 352: Chapter 352: New Home, New Atmosphere

Lin Fan parked the car in the garage and took out the fruits and vegetables he had purchased. He walked towards the living room on the first floor with a smile, while his parents, hearing the noise, immediately came out to greet him, their smiles tinged with a sense of restraint.

"Mom and Dad, are you getting used to the new house?"

Lin Fan placed the vegetables in the kitchen and handed the fruit to his mother, whose wrinkled face bloomed with a smile.

"I’m pretty used to it. It’s just your dad keeps grumbling about how he can’t find his tools anywhere. The night we came back, he didn’t even sleep inside. He sat in that pavilion all night, claiming this isn’t a home, it’s the Garden of Immortal Palace."

"You old hag, always talking about me. Aren’t you the same!"

His father, still with a cast on his leg, leaned on his cane and glared at his mother before saying, "Ever since we came back, your mom’s been complaining about how those two patches of land are planted with flowers. If they were planted with two rows of corn, we could have at least made forty or fifty yuan. It’s such a waste. She insists that next year we must plow it over to grow crops, plant two rows of eggplants and peppers, then we won’t have to buy vegetables anymore."

"That won’t do."

Lin Fan smiled at his mother, having anticipated that his parents, who had farmed their entire lives, would have their own ideas about the garden, so he had already thought of a solution: "We can live in this house and use everything in it, but since we only contributed the land and not money, we have an agreement as a model house. Occasionally, the company will bring clients over to visit. Don’t underestimate these flowers; they cost over thirty thousand yuan. If you take good care of them, they won’t charge us, but if you leveled them, I’d be in big trouble."

"They’re that expensive... Then I won’t level them, won’t level them. Actually, the flowers do look prettier. Maybe I’ll work on two rows of unused land, just casually plant something, and it’ll be enough for our family."

Sure enough, upon hearing about the expensive items, his mother immediately waved her hands in dismissal, while his father looked at Lin Fan with a worried expression, "What, our house isn’t ours anymore?"

"The house, of course, will belong to us, but we can’t change its use at will. After all, we must also try to procure benefits for the company, right? So when clients come over, we can’t have the yard looking shabby. Just keep it tidy, and every month there will be people from a landscaping company coming to take care of it. Your job is just to enjoy it."

Lin Fan put his arms around his parents’ shoulders. Although it was a lie, it was a lie meant to give his elderly parents a less laborious life in their later years. Anyway, with this explanation, their worries were somewhat relieved. However, they were still not comfortable with modern home appliances and preferred their traditional stove.

"It’s been Zhu Zhixuan taking care of us these past few days, cooking and doing laundry for us; she really has worked hard. You must show her your appreciation!"

Sitting on the living room couch, sipping tea brewed by Lin Fan, his father did not forget to repeatedly remind him.

"Don’t worry, I will certainly show her my thanks."

Lin Fan, leaning back on the couch, his eyes filled with laughter, thought that after such hard work, he definitely must reward her well tonight.

"Ah, back in the day, you and Zhixuan were quite close. I never expected her to end up marrying that jerk Cai Xuliang. Otherwise, you two... Ah, never mind, never mind. How’s Shihan doing lately?"

His mother waved it off. She could obviously see the enthusiasm with which Zhu Zhixuan had been bustling about these days, which undoubtedly was fueled by her feelings for Lin Fan. However, in her heart, Zhu Zhixuan was already a married woman, and Lin Fan had a girlfriend.

"After visiting you, she went back to the Provincial City for training. She won’t be coming back for a while. She’s always been asking about your health and says that when her training is over, she’ll definitely come to see you."

Lin Fan casually lied. Of course, Chu Shihan was indeed concerned about his parents’ condition and always inquired whenever she sent messages.

"Shihan is a good girl. You must treat her well. You’re not getting any younger. Now that your circumstances have improved, if possible, the parents of both sides could meet, set a date for engagement, and strive to get married soon. If you like the countryside, you can come back here to live. Your mom and I are halfway to being buried in the earth; any old house will do for us. You can have this house."

His parents’ persistent nudging about marriage left Lin Fan with a smile of resignation. They would never understand his current situation, appearing bright and successful yet besieged on all sides, where one wrong move could mean losing everything. But he didn’t argue because he had indeed come back to accompany them and patiently taught them how to use the household appliances.

Time spent under the watchful eyes of one’s parents always flew by. After being busy for a long time, the family of three finally had their long-awaited reunion. Watching his parents’ loving smiles, Lin Fan felt as though he had returned to his childhood days. With his parents, he was always cherished.

"What are you all chatting about that’s so joyful?"

Zhu Zhixuan came in carrying fresh vegetables. The feeling was very much that of a daughter-in-law coming home from work.

"Talking about our Mr. Zhu, how she’s becoming more and more beautiful. Has she become a fairy?"

Lin Fan walked up with a smile and took the vegetables from her hands, but then he noticed a scratch on Zhu Zhixuan’s neck, clearly from being scratched: "Who did this?"

"Who else could it be!"

Zhu Zhixuan snorted, "It’s from those unreasonable women of the Old Cai family!"
