Chapter 168: His face turned visibly red
Lin Chuxia brought him a plate of meat buns, and Lin Jiadong sat at the table and ate.

He ate a meat bun in three bites and stuffed his mouth full.

“Eat slowly, don’t choke.”

Lin Chuxia poured him a glass of water.

Lin Jiadong finally swallowed the meat bun in his mouth and smiled, “Second sister, the meat bun is really delicious.”

“If it’s delicious, eat more. If it’s not enough, I’ll give you more.”

Lin Jiadong smiled again and lowered his head to continue eating the meat buns.

At this time Qin Yang came in from outside.

Lin Chuxia greeted him and asked him to come over for dinner in the evening.

During this period, Qin Yang often accompanied her to various stores and became familiar with everyone.

Seeing Lin Chuxia sitting by the window, he walked straight over.

Lin Jiadong had just taken a big bite of a meat bun when he looked up and saw a tall and straight figure. He was stunned for a moment.

He took a look at the bag of cooked food next to him and stood up subconsciously. Due to his big movement, the chair made a clanging sound.

He quickly held onto the chair and stood up straight again, “Sister…Brother-in-law…”

He shouted vaguely, quickly swallowed the bun in his mouth, and continued, “I asked my second sister for this because I was greedy…”

Qin Yang nodded calmly, “Just take what your second sister gave you.”

This is Lin Chuxia’s family. Even if his wife is not favored in that family, if she cannot give up this family relationship, he will respect her opinion.

However, if everyone came to bully his wife like Lin’s mother did, he would definitely not be polite.

Qin Yang also knew that Lin Chuxia had a different attitude towards her younger brother.

I have met this Lin Jiadong before, and he seems to be a bit straightforward.

I don’t know how come my wife, who is so smart, has such a stupid brother.

Qin Yang saw that Lin Jiadong was uncomfortable seeing him, so he said something to Lin Chuxia and went to find Qin Wu.

Lin Jiadong waited for Qin Yang to leave before asking in a low voice, “My brother-in-law won’t be angry, right?”

Lin Chuxia handed him a bun and said, “Eat it. Go back early after you finish eating. It will be dark soon and the road will be hard to walk on.”

Lin Jiadong didn’t ask any more questions. He ate all the buns on the plate in a few bites and burped with satisfaction.

Before leaving, he still asked worriedly, “Second sister, I’m leaving now. I really took the things away.”

“Let’s go, and go slowly.”

Lin Jiadong chuckled, got on his bike, bent over and pedaled very fast, and disappeared into the darkness in a moment.

In her previous life, the Lin family demanded a lot from her, but when Li Guangyuan really betrayed her, it was only this silly brother who was stubborn enough to help her out. But she didn’t care at that time.

When Lin Jiadong was no longer visible, Lin Chuxia withdrew her gaze and went into the bun shop.

When we got inside, the atmosphere was completely different.

With everyone working together, dinner was almost ready, with two large tables full of dishes.

There was no distinction between men and women, and people could sit anywhere they wanted, but everyone was willing to sit at the same table with Lin Chuxia.

Finally, Qin’s family and her good sister Sun Lanlan sat next to them. In order to cultivate the relationship between her sister and Cai Jun, Sun Bingnan pulled Cai Jun to sit at the Qin’s family table. Su Wensong also sat at this table.

Lin Chuxia, Qin Yang, Pang Yongli and his wife, Jia Liang, Hou Xiaobao, and Chen Chunhua sat at the same table.

There were five newcomers. The three women sat at the same table with Lin Chuxia, while the two men sat at the Qin family’s side.

The dining atmosphere became even more lively. Lin Chuxia made a simple opening speech and then asked everyone to eat and drink to their heart’s content.

With the joy of receiving salary and having a day off, the meal took us two full hours.

Everyone toasted each other and said blessings. Hou Xiaobao also mentioned the karaoke in the south and sang an impromptu song for everyone. Lin Chuxia thought that if there was a chance next year, she would definitely organize a karaoke for them.

After dinner, everyone cleaned up the shop again.

Sun Lanlan pulled Lin Chuxia aside and stuffed a small bag into her hand, “This is a New Year’s gift for you.”

It looked like a scarf, bright red, similar to the one she had around her neck.

Lin Chuxia thanked him and reminded him, “Don’t spend money on me next time. Spend more on yourself and dress yourself up prettier so that you can find a good husband sooner.”

Sun Lanlan pinched her in reproach and her face turned visibly red.

Lin Chuxia looked at her in surprise. They often joked about this, so why did she react so strongly today?
Seeing her glance at Cai Jun in the distance, it seems that something is really happening?

Before Lin Chuxia could ask in detail, Sun Lanlan waved her hand and said, “I won’t talk to you anymore. My third brother and I are leaving first and will return to the village in a while.”

“Okay, go slowly on the road.”

Sun Lanlan went to call Sun Bingnan. The two had already packed their things. Just as they reached the door, someone called them from behind.

“Bingnan…”

Cai Jun was in the kitchen. When he heard that Sun Lanlan and Sun Bingnan were going back, he hurried out.

His movements were a little hasty, and he bumped into Qin Lihua who was about to enter the kitchen with a bang.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” He apologized repeatedly.

Qin Lihua only held half a bottle of vinegar, so she didn’t feel much pain from the collision. She shook her head and said, “It’s okay!”

Seeing that she was really fine, Cai Jun chased after her again, “Bingnan, why didn’t you tell me before you left?”

Sun Bingnan glanced at his sister and asked him with amusement, “What should we tell you when we get home?”

Cai Jun also looked at Sun Lanlan, but only glanced at her before looking away. “Well…after the New Year, I will go to pay New Year’s greetings to my uncle and aunt.”

“Okay, then I’ll wait for you to come,” Sun Bingnan responded happily.

……

“Lihua, why are you standing here?”

When Zhou Hongmei came out of the kitchen, she saw Qin Lihua standing at the kitchen door, staring blankly at the outside of the bun shop.

“Put the vinegar bottle back and let’s go home.”

Qin Lihua came back to her senses and nodded repeatedly, “Oh, I’ll go right away.”

He stepped into the kitchen and looked back at the door.

“Go quickly, your fourth aunt and the others are waiting.”

Zhou Hongmei urged again and went to talk to Lin Chuxia and Zhang Guilan who were waiting.

After a while, Qin Lihua came out and several people walked home together.

The Qin family of seven, plus five workers from Qinjia Village, a total of twelve people walked in the streets of Ancheng County.

The weather was cold at the end of December. The whole street was quiet at this time, but no one felt cold.

“boom–“

The sound of firecrackers rang out not far away, the New Year is coming!
……………………

On the other hand, when Lin Jiadong returned home, it was already dark and his family had not yet gone to bed.

There was a power outage again today. The oil lamp was lit in the room. The dim light of the oil lamp illuminated the swaying figures, but it did not affect Lin Jiadong’s good mood at all.

He took the cooked food off the handlebars, hummed a little tune and walked into the house. Before he even entered the door, he shouted, “Mom, I’m back.”

I didn’t hear my mother’s voice, but my eldest sister Lin Jiayi’s voice came out, “Why is it so late? You made us wait for so long.”
