Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties
Chapter 261 - 260: Why are you here again?

Chapter 261: Chapter 260: Why are you here again?

Lin Xia and the others knew nothing about what had happened at the Lin Family’s home.

Lu Zheng suddenly visited their house early the next morning.

By the time he arrived, Lin Qiu had already eaten breakfast and was busy in the shop.

Lin Xia and Lin Dong hadn’t finished their breakfast yet.

Lin Xia didn’t quite know what to say about his arrival.

"Why are you here again?"

She remembered clearly telling him not to come to the house casually when he left last time.

Lu Zheng, with an unchanged expression, said, "I’m on leave recently because my grandpa needs Lingzhi, but the ones I bought in the provincial city were not good, so I came here to ask you to help me buy some more!"

Of course, he couldn’t say that he had taken his annual leave just to spend more time with Lin Xia.

Even if it was just to see her and talk to her every day.

Well, it seemed he had a pretty solid reason for coming this time.

"Okay! I’ll help you ask around! Haven’t you eaten yet?" Lin Xia didn’t care whether he was using this as an excuse; she would help either way.

"Not yet!" Lu Zheng was completely at ease.

"Then go wash your hands first! I’ll fix some more food!" Lin Xia said without paying him any further attention, turning to enter the kitchen as he was as comfortable here as he was in his own home.

Lin Dong was more enthusiastic toward Lu Zheng than Lin Xia was, helping Lu Zheng get a basin and water to wash his hands in the yard.

"Brother Lu! My buddy Haizi’s grandpa often goes mountain foraging. The three Lingzhi we bought last time were from his grandpa!

Tomorrow, why don’t you come with me to see him?"

Lu Zheng looked at the much-grown Lin Dong and smiled lightly, "Okay! Thanks!" He took the towel handed to him and wiped his hands.

In the past, Lin Xia would hand him a towel, but now it seemed he didn’t enjoy that privilege.

Lin Dong chuckled, "No need to be polite!"

He also wanted to go see Haizi, as he had visited last time with his older brother, and this time he would have Brother Lu with him.

Afterward, Lu Zheng entered the kitchen and watched Lin Xia beat eggs, his tone meaningful, "Were the three Lingzhi last time purchased?"

Lin Xia knew immediately that her younger brother had let the cat out of the bag, but it didn’t matter, they would find out if they went to Haizi’s place.

"Yes! But it didn’t cost much! I told you, it was a gift to thank you!

But this time, since you came by yourself, go buy them with Dongzi!"

Lu Zheng nodded, "Okay!" His gaze, however, constantly lingered on Lin Xia.

Lin Xia felt her cheeks heat up, and she hurried him along, "You should wait in the living room! There will be a lot of smoke from cooking here in a moment!"

Lu Zheng didn’t want to leave, eager to talk more with her, "No worries! How is Mingyuan doing in Ji City?"

They had talked about Mingyuan’s traveling when they corresponded.

Lu Zheng felt much relaxed, but at the same time, he was worried, fearing that Lin Xia might be bullied or in danger.

Now, seeing the clothing store at the entrance, he couldn’t help but admire Lin Xia for being not as frail as he had imagined.

Lin Xia quickly beat eggs and poured oil into the big pot, "He wrote the day before yesterday! He’s doing well! He went to the south side shortly after arriving in Ji City, probably to deal with something..."

"Mmm!" Lu Zheng watched her wait for the oil to heat up and then quickly stir-fried a plate of green onion and eggs.

Then Lin Xia also made a plate of smacked cucumbers.

As Lu Zheng savored the simple breakfast Lin Xia had made, the warmth in his heart was undeniable.

Lin Dong had been watching Lu Zheng and his big sister from the living room. Now, seeing them exchange glances, he felt he might be in the way.

"Um... big sis, Brother Lu, I’ll head to the greenhouse first!" Lin Dong said as he went to change his shoes.

Lin Xia hurried to stop him, "Dongzi! Stay home with Brother Lu today! No need to go to the greenhouse! I’ll go!"

Dongzi blinked rapidly, snickering, "Big sis! You stay at home, I’ll go to the greenhouse!"

The esteemed Brother Lu came all this way, wasn’t it for his big sister?

How could he not create opportunities for them?

Lu Zheng looked at Lin Xia intently, "I can help!"

He wanted to be with Lin Xia, and he was willing to go anywhere.

"Then I won’t go to the greenhouse! I’m going to hang out with my classmates!" Dongzi said, ignoring whatever they were saying and ran out of the house immediately.

Lin Xia watched Dongzi’s retreating figure, shaking her head helplessly.

Lu Zheng curved his lips, "Is Lin Qiu’s business doing well?"

"Pretty good!" Lin Xia felt slightly uncomfortable being alone in a room with him.

But she had now trained herself to keep her emotions from showing.

"Why aren’t you wearing that bracelet?" Lu Zheng had noticed Lin Xia’s bare wrists the moment he entered.

He thought that, in this summer season, she would wear it.

Lin Xia looked down at her wrist, "I didn’t wear it; it’s inconvenient when it gets wet every time I wash my hands!"

Lu Zheng’s gaze flickered; he had an idea, realizing he could give her a Jade Bracelet next time—those wouldn’t need to worry about getting wet.

If Lin Xia knew what he was thinking, she would definitely look helplessly to the sky.

How had it come to be all about something on her wrist?

Lu Zheng finished his meal quickly, and he naturally helped pick up the bowls to clean up.

Lin Xia didn’t stop him, she washed the dishes and cleaned the stove.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng found the broom and started sweeping the floor.

The two of them finished tidying up quickly, and Lin Xia was ready to go to the greenhouse.

She actually didn’t want Lu Zheng to come because last time he drew some attention from the stallholders.

But she couldn’t take him along without leaving him at home, and Dongzi had run off faster than anything.

Lin Xia entered the clothing store from the back door, looking around for someone, "Xiaoqiu! Have you seen Dongzi?"

"Nope!" Lin Qiu shook her head innocently.

She had just been listening to her brother excitedly telling about Brother Lu’s visit.

She was absorbed in her work when she heard some noise in the backyard.

When Lin Qiu saw Lu Zheng following Lin Xia into the store, she quickly greeted him, "Brother Lu, hello!"

Lu Zheng smiled faintly in greeting, "Lin Qiu! Hello!"

Lin Xia looked around but couldn’t find Dongzi. She said to Lu Zheng, "Lu Zheng! You must be tired from the train ride, why don’t you stay at home and rest a bit!"

She really didn’t want to take him along.

"I had a sleeper berth, I’m not tired at all!" Lu Zheng insisted. He had his reasons, and he also wanted to spend more time with Lin Xia; in any case, he wanted to stick with her.

Having no other choice, Lin Xia took him back to the yard. Lu Zheng quickly grabbed a cart, stacking it with a large load.

Dongzi, afraid his sister would see him and change her mind insisting he stay home with Brother Lu, hid under the counter, not daring to go out.

Only after Lin Xia and Lu Zheng left, Dongzi crawled out and he and Lin Qiu quietly peeked out from the doorway.

Seeing the two, one pushing the cart and the other walking beside, they really looked like a couple!

Dongzi snickered, "Second sis! Isn’t my idea clever?"

Lin Qiu laughed and patted his back, "Not bad! We need to create opportunities for them!"

She and Wu Zhengyang had successfully started dating, and now that her sister’s crush, Brother Lu, had come home, she naturally wanted her sister’s romantic life to progress.
