Chapter 568: Chapter 567: Going Back for Chinese New Year?

Lin Chun had plenty of time before work, so he was not in a hurry as he walked his bicycle, slowly following beside Lin Aiguo toward the station.

Having had a bit to drink, he was slightly dizzy, but the cold breeze quickly sobered him up.

Lin Aiguo glanced at Lin Chun, noticing significant changes in his oldest son.

But he understood his son well; no matter how much he changed, he was inherently a respectful and easygoing person.

"Lin Chun! Take your relationship seriously! Don’t be shy! You’re not getting any younger, you need to hurry! When looking for a wife, don’t just consider looks, find someone honest, capable, and good at managing household affairs..."

Seeing his father bring up the matter again, Lin Chun frowned impatiently, "Dad! Just relax! I have it under control!"

"What good does having it under control do? I’m worried that you youngsters don’t realize the urgency, and it will be too late to find the right one! Fine, if you don’t want to listen, I won’t talk about it!"

Lin Aiguo took the opportunity to talk about going back home for New Year. "Is Lin Xia going to her mother-in-law’s house for New Year?"

He had hesitated to ask this question directly at the dinner table earlier.

Speaking of Lin Xia, his oldest daughter, he really couldn’t manage her, and now he was somewhat afraid to speak up about certain things.

However, with New Year just a few days away, he was eager to have them all come back home for the celebration.

So, he wanted to discuss it with Lin Chun.

Lin Chun had already noticed his father’s hesitation to say something.

But considering how blunt his older sister could be, he dared not bring it up again.

"She’s not going this year; she’s already agreed with Lu Zheng to visit his workplace on the second day!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Aiguo’s eyes lit up, as he had hoped that if Lin Xia went to her mother-in-law’s for New Year, he could persuade them, and maybe Lin Chun and the others might come back home for it.

Now knowing Lin Xia wouldn’t be going to her mother-in-law’s house, wouldn’t it be even better if he could persuade her? It would be perfect for a family reunion!

Lin Aiguo suggested in a negotiating tone, "Lin Chun, why don’t you guys come back on New Year’s Eve?

It’s been years, and we haven’t had a reunion.

Your grandma and I are together now, your uncle has moved downhill, and your aunt and her family too; let’s all have a reunion New Year!

With Lin Qiu possibly getting married soon, married daughters have to spend New Year’s at their in-laws’, and it would be difficult for us to have a reunion on New Year’s Eve then!"

This year was different, their relationship had improved, and they didn’t need to struggle as much, just gather for a reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve.

However, he was still afraid that Lin Xia might reject the idea on the spot, causing him to lose face.

Because he knew Lin Xia still resented him even now.

He also realized how detestable he had been in the past.

He had not only let down Lin Xia and her siblings but also the late Yu Wanhua.

Unfortunately, even though he now realized his mistakes and wanted to repent, he couldn’t erase the past hurt he had caused them.

So, he hadn’t brought it up in front of Lin Xia; he was afraid it would end up like previous years, with none of them coming home for New Year.

"Dad! I’ll ask Xiaoxia and the others! Let’s see what they think," Lin Chun knew that his father’s request was not unreasonable.

During New Year, who doesn’t want a family reunion?

Their situation had always been special.

Now, given his big sister’s marriage, their grandma’s relatives had more or less been getting along well.

During New Year’s, it was proper to go to their father’s place.

But his opinion was only personal, and he couldn’t simply agree to it right then. Ultimately, he still had to ask his eldest sister and the others.

Lin Aiguo could tell that Lin Chun himself agreed with his idea, and he nodded eagerly, "Asking is fine! Then I’ll wait at home for your letter! If Lin Xia and the others agree, give a call to your aunt’s workplace and let me know, so I can prepare some New Year’s goods and such!"

"Alright! Wait for my letter!" Lin Chun sent Lin Aiguo to the station, and watched him board the passenger bus before riding his bike to work.

Lin Chun returned home from work in the evening and brought up the topic of going back for the New Year.

"Xiaoxia! Xiaoqiu! Dongzi! Do you think we should go back for New Year’s Eve?

This year is different from previous ones, grandma is with dad, and Uncle’s family has all come down from the valley. Dad told me he wants to have a reunion New Year..."

He was already leaning towards going back for the New Year.

There were still elderly family members at home, and previously, relations had been too strained to speak of, so not going back wasn’t an issue.

But now things were different; relations were no longer as they had been, and not going back for New Year’s seemed off.

Lin Qiu and Lin Dong didn’t utter a word but turned their gazes towards Lin Xia.

"Sister! What do you think, should we go back?" Lin Qiu wanted to go back for New Year’s, but she decided to ask her sister’s opinion first before expressing her own.

"Whatever you decide! I have no objections to going or not going!" During lunch, big brother had mentioned taking Lin Aiguo to work, and Lin Xia guessed that Lin Aiguo would definitely bring this up.

In the past years, for various reasons, they hadn’t gone back for New Year’s.

This year was different; their relationship had eased quite a bit.

Liu Shuqin was going to be with Lin Aiguo, and Lin Aiye’s family, having bought that old house, must have moved down already.

Then there was Lin Aijia’s family, who, because there were no elderly left in her uncle’s family, had gone to the valley for New Year’s in the past.

Yu Hongli and Luo Yue got married last year, so they definitely would want to go back for New Year’s as well.

All things considered, if they didn’t go back, Lin Aiguo would surely feel awkward about it.

Actually, Lin Xia didn’t really want to go back for New Year’s, fearing she wouldn’t be able to stand being around Lin Aiye and the others.

But she couldn’t be selfish and only consider her own feelings.

After all, she saw a longing in the eyes of her big brother and her younger siblings; they really wanted to go back for New Year’s.

So, for their sake, she was willing to compromise.

After all, going back for New Year’s would mean staying only for a day or two before returning.

Even if Lin Chun and the others wanted to stay there a few days longer, it wouldn’t affect her, since she’d be going to Lu Zheng’s place on the second day of the new year.

Lin Dong scratched the back of his head, "Big sister! So, shall we go back? Actually, I think it’s quite good for us to celebrate New Year’s together here.

But thinking about how dad has changed a lot, and Uncle and aunt will be there, it seems like it wouldn’t be right for us not to go back for New Year’s!"

The siblings finally decided to go back for New Year’s.

When Lin Aiguo learned that they were coming back for New Year’s, he was incredibly happy and excited.

It had been several years since they were all together for New Year’s.

Last year during New Year’s, Lin Chun had come back just as Qian Chunli was half paralyzed and hadn’t divorced him yet, so he didn’t go to the valley for New Year’s and went directly to Lin Xia’s house by himself.

But people of the older generation have some deep-rooted ideas, thinking about needing a reunion for New Year’s.

Especially this year, being different from other years, with the elderly at his home, the eldest sibling.

If Lin Chun and none of them come back, Lin Aiye, Lin Aijia, and the others would also laugh at them.
