Chapter 199 They Are All My Treasures
When we returned to Linjia Village, it was almost dinner time.
Lin Dadan first sent Lin Jiaojiao to the Lin residence. After Xiaowu finished his work, he stayed inside the door. As soon as he heard the sound of horse hooves, he hurriedly opened the door.
Lin Jiaojiao got off the carriage and told Xiaowu to go to the kitchen and get a basket.
Lin Dadan took the basket and asked the people in the carriage to help load it. Soon a basket of hawthorn fruits was loaded and handed out. Xiaowu took it and stood behind Lin Jiaojiao with the basket.
Lin Jiaojiao saw that everything was ready and prepared to leave, but after thinking about it, she decided to put on the new ones tomorrow. She turned to Lin Dadan, who was also preparing to leave in the carriage, and gave him instructions.
"After dinner, ask Uncle Zhou and Uncle Two to come home and learn about the new products. They will be available tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll tell them later."
After getting the answer, she turned around and walked towards the house. Xiaowu went to the kitchen with the basket. As she just reached the gate of the courtyard, she happened to meet Lin Yizhi who came out.
He walked forward happily and wanted to hold her hand, but when he remembered that he had been scolded by his father in the morning, he put down his slightly raised hand.
"My dear wife, why did you take so long today? Are you hungry? I just brought back some hot pot ingredients that I made today. I'll make you some spicy chicken tonight."
When she saw him heading towards the kitchen, she simply grabbed his hand.
"Yizhi, you've been busy all day, haven't you? Aren't you tired yet? Leave it to Uncle Zhao to cook. Have a good rest. We still have to make candied haws after dinner."
He felt the warmth in his hand, but it was not him who took the initiative to hold the hand. It was his wife who touched it first.
He secretly shook her hand back, his tone couldn't help but be happy: "It's okay, cooking for my wife is not tiring at all, and I want to cook for you, okay, my wife?"
Who could resist such sudden coquetry? She looked around and when she saw no one else, she reached out and pinched his face.
"Okay, okay, then I'll help you?"
"No need, Uncle Zhao..."
"Ahem, Zhier, did you ignore what your father said this morning?"
"..."
Lin Jiaojiao was startled by the voice behind her, but she did not let go of his hand. Instead, she held it tightly.
"Dad, it's okay. We don't care about so many things at home. Just do whatever makes you feel comfortable. Dad, just relax."
Father Lin sighed: "Hey, Jiao'er, just spoil them. Daddy doesn't care."
She let go of his hand and motioned him to go first, then followed Lin's father into the yard, comforting him.
"Dad, a husband is meant to be spoiled, right? I know this is not polite, but we don't care about these things in our village. Let others say what they want to say. After all, we can't control their mouths, right? We are the ones who live our lives, so we can do whatever makes us happy."
Father Lin stopped walking, turned around and said to her: "Dad knows that you two have such a good relationship now, and Dad is very happy to see it, but your current status... Dad is afraid that if you go back, Yan'er Dad is not worried, Dad is afraid that Zhi'er will go to the mansion..."
He started to worry after he met the Su family last time. Although Grandmother Su looked okay on the surface, he could clearly feel that the other members of the Su family looked down on them.
She instantly understood what Father Lin meant, and she also sighed.
"If there is no compelling reason to go back to the Su family, I will never go back in my life. Dad, just rest assured."
"Dad, Jiaojiao, why are you standing in the yard? Why don't you come sit inside?"
Lin Yiyan was sorting out account books in the study when he vaguely heard Lin Jiaojiao's voice. He asked Zhao Xiaotong to take a look and found that the two were standing in the yard arguing. He put down the account book in his hand and walked out, holding his stomach.
When Father Lin heard her say this, he felt relieved and turned to Lin Yiyan and said, "It's okay, Dad will go back to the house and rest for a while."
After the two of them watched Lin's father return to the house and close the door, Lin Jiaojiao took off her cloak, walked towards the door of the main room, came to him and put it on him.
"Brother, why don't you put on a cloak and come out? Don't catch a cold."
He did not refuse, but wrapped his hands around his collar and said, "I heard you and Dad arguing in the yard, so I came out in a hurry."
She took him to the study. After opening the door, she felt a warm feeling. When she saw the charcoal basin in the room, she knew that Lin Yiyan had been looking at the account book in there.
"Thank you for your hard work, bro. This should have been my job."
After they entered the house, Zhao Xiaotong closed the door and stood guard outside.
He reached out and held her hand, shaking his head: "It's okay, I quite like this job, and I'm happy to help Jiaojiao manage the accounts."
Then he took her hand and rubbed it against his face. He had been in this stuffy room for too long and felt a little depressed. Her cold hands could help him relieve the stuffiness.
"By the way, what happened to Dad?"
She had no choice but to tell Lin's father about his worries, and he raised his head and comforted her instead.
"It's okay, Jiaojiao. He will figure it out after a while. Dad is just afraid that you will go back and not want us anymore..."
She sat on a cushioned chair and pulled him over, letting him sit on her lap and hugging him, and she hurriedly explained her loyalty.
"How could that be? Don't think too much, big brother. You are the most important to me. Besides, why would I go back? I'm not going to pursue a career in government. Besides, there's Su Minyue in her family who is pursuing a career in government. She's about the same age as me and has been a scholar for two years."
"Besides, my mother's current husband looks quiet and dignified, but he is very wary of me. His two sons also look at me with vigilance. Someone must have said something bad about me in front of them. Why would I go back to this family? I have nothing better to do..."
He sat on her lap, listening to the crazy complaints from the people behind him, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, and he pulled her hands over and placed them on his bulging belly.
"Jiaojiao, do you think Xiaobao is a girl or a boy?"
She was still complaining, but when she heard him say that, she didn't even close her mouth, and quickly reacted and continued.
"Whether it's a girl or a boy, they are all my treasures. You are my big treasure, and the one in your belly is my little treasure."
"Does Jiaojiao want a girl or a boy?"
"As long as it's yours, I want it all."
If her hand wasn't held by him, she really wanted to wipe the sweat off her face. This was simply a death sentence.
He heard her answer, and although he knew she was just trying to coax him, he was still very happy. However, he still asked the question in his mind.
"Jiaojiao, do you really not know Xiaobao's gender?"
"what?"
She was confused. How could she know since she didn't have X-ray vision?
But she soon realized why he thought so, and explained to him with a smile and tears.
"Brother, I'm really not a god. Apart from the auxiliary system I told you about, I'm really just a mortal like you."
"The system knows this question, host. You only need to spend 1000 points to redeem the answer."
