Chapter 567: Chapter 566: No Need for You to Worry

Song Zhiya furrowed her brows, "Dad! I think what you’re saying isn’t right!"

Since you always talk about the difference between north and south, then what about you and Auntie Luo?

Why can you two be together! When I find Jiang Mingyuan, you have so many objections?

That’s not fair! Can you please not be so hypocritical?

When you first told us you had found a life partner, both my brother and I didn’t say a word of objection!"

Seeing his daughter unhappy, Song Yinran quickly explained, "My situation is different from yours, how old am I? A man with one foot in the grave!

Your Auntie Luo and I, we are now companions for our old age.

As for you, you still have more than half of your life ahead of you. How can you not be cautious? How can you not consider carefully?

I am not saying I absolutely oppose you two!

I am just laying out all the important pros and cons for you now, so you do not let love blind you and stop thinking about everything else..."

Once Song Zhiya heard what he said, she immediately smiled and quickly clung to Song Yinran’s arm in a fawning manner, "Dad! So you mean... you’re not against him, right?"

Song Yinran felt extremely helpless; he really had no way to get angry with his own daughter.

"I am not against it, but I want to properly assess this young man first.

Right now, my attitude is neither opposing nor supporting. Whether he can gain my support in the future depends on his performance."

Song Yinran considered himself to be a not overly traditional or conservative parent. Given that his daughter was deeply in love with someone now, if he absolutely insisted on opposing, he really feared that in an act of rebellion, she might do something outrageous.

So it was better to go along with her for the time being and see how the relationship between the two of them developed before making a decision.

No matter what Song Yinran said now, Song Zhiya listened with a bright smile, actually having been worried about it before, scared of how she would handle it if her dad didn’t agree.

With Song Yinran back, of course, they had to invite Lin Xia and the siblings over for a family dinner.

Luo Xinyan specially prepared a large table of dishes to welcome Lin Xia and her four brothers and sisters.

Once seated, everyone ate, drank, and laughed together.

Seeing Luo Yue, whose face and figure had become a bit fuller after becoming pregnant, Lin Xia was filled with envy.

Luo Yue had already noticed Lin Xia’s expression. When they were about to leave the dining table and sit down in the bedroom, she asked her softly, "When do you plan on having kids?"

Lin Xia spoke honestly, "Of course, the sooner the better. Actually, I really like children, but unfortunately, I’m not pregnant right now!

Our situation is not like yours and my cousin’s. The time we can spend together in a year is also limited, so let’s leave it to fate."

In fact, she knew she was not pregnant after her period came, her feelings were quite complicated.

Now she had calmed down, but talking about it still felt a bit regretful.

Ever since becoming pregnant, Luo Yue felt as if she had changed a lot.

Her relationship with Lin Xia had always been delicate, so their interactions also felt very complex.

But now that she was going to be a mother herself, many things suddenly became clear to her.

So she gently consoled her, "Lin Xia! About having children, my experience is not to rush, to have a relaxed mindset, and let nature take its course. The child will naturally come when it’s time.

Like when your cousin and I just got married, we were actually anxious, after all, he’s the only boy in his family, and as you know, your aunt was very eager.

We were a bit stressed out... But then we figured it out, this kind of thing isn’t to be rushed, it’s better to let it happen naturally, and then it really did happen."

"Thank you, sister-in-law, for sharing your experience with me!" Lin Xia felt it was very helpful after listening.

All she hoped for now was to finish her work quickly before the New Year and then go to Lu Zheng to spend more days together.

Ever since he left, every time the night was quiet, Lin Xia really missed him.

She longed for his warm embrace, longed for his fervent breath, longed for the faint smell of tobacco that lingered on him.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was Little New Year, and Lin Aiguo came to their house.

He knew that Lin Xia and the others were all busy, so he didn’t ask them to come home, he came to the city himself.

At the same time, he also brought them quite a few of the sticky rice dumplings that Liu Shuqin had made.

Lin Xia wasn’t particularly interested in the food he brought; their own family had everything, and they could make whatever they wanted to eat at any time.

But Lin Chun and the others were quite touched, feeling that no matter what Lin Aiguo had brought, it was at least a thoughtful gesture.

Lin Xia and Lin Qiu had prepared some ready-made, convenient meals.

Lin Chun and Lin Aiguo sat together, drinking alcohol.

Lin Aiguo started talking to them about selling the house to Lin Aiye.

"I thought about it later and ended up selling that old house to them. Sold it for eight hundred, and your uncle didn’t have much money; they scraped together three hundred to give me first.

The rest, they said they would pay after the New Year, when they had money..."

Lin Xia quietly rolled her eyes; she knew those people well enough—easy to say they’d pay when they had the money.

Wait and see! Now that they hadn’t demanded the full amount right away, this money would be difficult to collect.

But then, this was Lin Aiguo’s affair—what did it have to do with them?

So Lin Xia quietly ate her meal, listening without making a sound.

Lin Chun didn’t show much reaction either; he continued drinking with Lin Aiguo.

As they chatted, Lin Aiguo broached the subject of Lin Chun’s prospective partner. "Lin Chun, now that you’re back and have adapted to your job, isn’t it time to find someone? See if there’s anyone suitable in your unit! If not, I’ll have your aunt and them keep an eye out. You’re turning 25 this New Year; it’s your zodiac year, and you can’t delay this. Better to find someone soon, marrying a good girl and settling down is the real deal..."

Lin Aiguo, having drunk alcohol, prattled on without end.

Lin Chun agreed with him at first, but then he truly felt helpless and couldn’t bear to listen anymore.

"Dad! I’m not in a hurry! I may turn 25 this New Year, but when it comes to finding a partner, I think it’s better to take my time!

I’m working in the city now; I don’t want to find someone from our area, it would be better to marry a girl from the city.

After getting married, it will be convenient to live and commute together and to visit her parents’ home too."

Lin Aiguo nodded in agreement, "That makes sense! If that’s what you want, then let your sister help you look.

Lin Xia knows a lot of people, and you can’t drag this on—don’t end up like Yu Hongli, the longer he waited, the harder it was to find someone.

If it weren’t for Lin Xia introducing him to that older girl, he might still be struggling to find a partner."

Lin Chun glanced at Lin Xia, "Alright! I’ve got this in mind, so don’t worry about it!"

Lin Xia took over the conversation, "Right, there’s no rush on this matter; we’ve got a few days until the New Year anyway. Let’s talk about everything after the New Year. I have it under control, you don’t need to worry!"

Lin Xia thought to herself that with the New Year approaching, things were fine for now, but after the holiday, she definitely needed to find a match for her elder brother.

She thought of a few people; Luo Yue’s unit had quite a few young ladies, and she could also have others help look.

Actually, she could tell that her big brother still had feelings for Jiang Mingqing.

But what use was it to not have given up? Jiang Mingqing wouldn’t spare him a glance!

So, she should hurry and find her brother a partner; once he starts dating someone else, maybe he’ll gradually forget about Jiang Mingqing.

Lin Aiguo knew that in this family, Lin Xia was in charge now, so for him to get a kind face from her was already quite good, and he didn’t bring up anything else.

Then he asked about Lin Qiu’s partner and Lin Dong’s studies.

The family had a harmonious meal on the eve of the Chinese New Year.

After the meal, Lin Aiguo didn’t stay long; he had to go to the bus station.

Lin Chun was just about to go to work, so he conveniently gave Lin Aiguo a ride...
