"Ah Zai!"
Lin stood up immediately after hearing the sound. Lin Ran hurriedly supported his daughter and asked with concern: "Are you feeling better today?"
"much better!"
"That's good."
She was really worried these days.
"Why are you sitting alone in the yard?" Li Ao asked worriedly.
"I've been lying down, but suddenly I want to come out and sit down!"
Li Ao nodded, and he did not forget to tell him: "You can rest assured and rest, don't worry about anything else, everything will be done by me and Tianxing!"
Lin was very moved in his heart.
"By the way, stepfather and stepmother, there is something I hope you don't mind!" she said suddenly.
"What are you talking about? Do you need to be so open-minded to us?" Lin Ran pretended to be displeased.
"Yes, we are a family, you don't need to be polite to us!"
Meeting her adopted father and mother was a blessing she had accumulated in her previous life.
Lin Zai put down his worries and said, "I promised Che'er that I would take him to see Sister Wu Yin, so I asked the Fifth Prince and Sheng'er to bring them to Li's Mansion. I want them to live here tonight, so it shouldn't matter, right?" "
"This is your home too, you can do whatever you want without asking for our permission!" Li Ao said lovingly.
"Thank you, foster father!"
Lin Ran touched Ah Zai's head and said, "Since there are guests coming to the house, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare them first!"
She turned back before she had gone far, "Ao, I won't accompany you to the military camp tomorrow!"
After saying that, she turned to look at Ah Zai and said, "Tomorrow, just call Miss Wu Yin to your home, and we'll entertain them together!".
"Thank you, stepmother!"
"Thank you! Okay, I have to go to the kitchen quickly. Don't sit outside all the time. Remember to go back to your room to rest later!"
"good."
After A Ran left, Li Ao said helplessly: "Your foster mother is such an adult, why are you still acting like a child and doing things in a hurry?"
Lin Zai said with emotion: "But it's really enviable that my adoptive mother can always be like this!"
Li Ao looked deeply at his daughter and said seriously: "A lot of things don't need to be carried alone. Aran and I will protect you, so you should be like Aran and stay optimistic no matter what happens! The adoptive father is very happy every day I’m busy, but I won’t feel tired anymore after I see Ah Ran and you when I get home. Ah Zai, for me, you should be happy too!”
"I will!"
"That's good!"
Lin felt warm in her heart.
It feels so good to have a family that cares about you!
~~~
After Granny Cui and the others arrived, Lin Zai immediately went to the hall. Che'er was very excited when he saw Lin Zai, but this place was very unfamiliar to him, so he unconsciously became cautious.
The same goes for Granny Cui. It was her first time coming to a wealthy family and she didn’t know where to put her hands.
"Miss Lin, how are you doing now?" she asked hurriedly after seeing Lin Zai.
"It's nothing serious anymore, don't worry!"
After Lin Zai finished speaking, he waved to Che'er, "Che'er, come to sister."
Wu Che hadn't seen Lin Zai for a few days, and he really missed her very much. He walked quickly to Lin Zai and took her hand, "Sister Ah Zai, my friends and I miss you so much. You must get well soon." Get up!"
As he spoke, he suddenly started crying.
Lin Zai hurriedly wiped his tears, "I'm almost recovered. Have you studied seriously these days?"
Wu Che nodded vigorously, "I'm good, sister Ah Zai, don't worry!"
Lin Zai touched Che'er's head lovingly, "I will bring Sister Yin here tomorrow."
"Really? That's great!" Wu Che started dancing with excitement.
Lin Zai knew how difficult it was for his family to meet.
"By the way, where is Sheng'er?"
"Miss Sheng'er said she would go back to the hospital first if she still has something to do." Yin Tianxun replied immediately.
"That's it!"
Lin Zai knew what Sheng'er was thinking. She must be afraid of meeting Brother Yue, so she wanted to go back quickly.
At this time, Li Ao and Lin Ran walked in gently. When Wu Che saw the stranger, he immediately hid behind Lin Ran. Granny Cui didn't know what to do at this moment.
Lin Zai noticed their uneasiness, and she took the initiative to introduce to Granny Cui and Che'er: "This is my adoptive father and mother. They are both very nice. Granny, Che'er, you don't have to feel restrained. Just be as casual as you are at home." That’s good.”
"That's right!" Lin Ran said with a smile.
She looked at Che'er lovingly, "This is Che'er, she's really cute."
Wu Che secretly looked at her, and the other person's smile eased his inner panic.
Grandma Cui composed herself, and she bent down, "General, madam, Che'er and I don't know etiquette, so please don't mind!"
"Where!" Li Ao hurriedly supported her, "Mother-in-law, you are an elder, how can an elder salute a junior? Besides, you are also very good to my daughter, so I should thank you even more!"
"No, no, it's Miss Lin who has been taking care of us!"
"Stop pushing back and forth, we all need to take care of each other, and we will continue to do so in the future!" Lin Ran smiled brightly, "The food is ready, Ah Zai, do you know when Miss Zheng will be back? ?”
Coincidentally, Zheng Zhen happened to appear when Lin Ran said this, "Madam, I'm back!"
Seeing Granny Cui and Cheer, Zheng Zhen was filled with joy.
They haven't seen each other for a while!
"Rushuang and the others are not coming back, let's go eat first."
Lin Ran supported Granny Cui, while Zheng Zhen ran to Wu Che, held his hand, and started chatting with him.
"Ms. Lin, do you mind letting me play with Che'er for a while?"
"Of course I don't mind!"
Lin Zai felt that something was wrong with the way Zheng Zhen looked at her. Although she was puzzled, she didn't take it too seriously!
~~~
Early the next morning, Lin Zai sent someone to invite Wu Yin.
"Mother-in-law, Che'er, are you up?" Lin knocked on the door and asked.
Soon Granny Cui came to open the door. They had gotten up early, and the bedding and other things were neatly packed.
"Miss Lin, I really caused trouble for you!"
Grandma Cui felt a little embarrassed.
"No trouble, let's go eat first!"
"Che'er and I are not hungry yet." Granny Cui said timidly.
She was still not used to it. General Li was an unattainable figure to her, so Granny Cui always felt trembling when sitting with him.
"My adoptive father left very early, and my adoptive mother got up early in the morning to arrange things. If you don't come over, wouldn't my adoptive mother's work be in vain? And mother-in-law, you really don't have to be formal. We are ordinary people, and we don't have so many etiquette." !”
"good!"
Grandma Cui couldn't refuse any more, it would make her look too disrespectful!
"Che'er is leaving. You can see Sister Yin after dinner!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Che immediately jumped up and followed sister Azai.
He has long forgotten that this is not his home.
~~~
Wu Yin was overjoyed after receiving the news.
This was the first time He Lianxuan saw Yin'er like this. He asked curiously: "Is there anything good about it?"
"Grandma and Che'er are here. They are at the Li Mansion. Ah Zai asked me to come over now!"
"That's great! Go quickly and don't keep them waiting too long."
"Okay! I'm sorry, sir, Yin'er can't accompany you today!"
He Lianxuan looked at her affectionately, "Seeing your family is the most important thing. I know how much you miss them. I will take you back when things are almost settled. I will definitely treat you and your family well in the future. Yin'er, are you willing to leave the Western Territory with me?"
Wu Yin's eyes sparkled, "I do!"
He Lianxuan hugged Wu Yin tenderly, "Thank you! Okay, Yin'er, go to Li's house quickly!"
"Well!" Wu Yin suddenly stopped when she reached the door. She turned her head and asked with some expectancy: "Next time, you can also meet grandma and Che'er, okay?"
"good!"
Wu Yin was overjoyed and she was looking forward to the future more and more.
~~~
This is the first time Wu Yin has entered Li's house. Although Ah Zai has invited her many times, she is afraid that her identity will have a bad influence on them.
After all, people's words are scary.
But this time, he didn't care so much. Grandma and Che'er were still waiting for him inside!
When Lin Ran saw Wu Yin, he quickly greeted her warmly: "Miss Wu Yin, I am Ah Zai's mother. You can come to the house often when you are free from now on. You don't have to be polite to us!"
"Thank you, madam!" Seeing how kind she was, Wu Yin immediately lost most of his nervousness.
"You are A Zai's good sister, just call me aunt from now on!"
"How can this be done!" Wu Yin did not dare to agree.
"Why not?"
"Madam has a distinguished status, but I just... in short, I really can't call you that!"
"Yin'er, can I call you this?" Lin Ran asked warmly.
Wu Yin nodded.
"I hope you can remember that what really determines whether a person is noble or not is never his origin. The most important thing is his character! It doesn't matter what others think of you. The world will always have prejudices, no matter how good you are People who are young will inevitably be criticized and condemned, so you don’t need to care what others think, as long as your heart is beautiful, then you are noble, do you understand?”
After a long time, Wu Yin replied softly: "I understand."
"Then are you willing to call me aunt now?"
Wu Yin was moved and said: "Auntie!"
"So good!" Lin Ran looked pleased, "Azai is lucky to have two good sisters, you and Sheng'er. You will come to the house more often in the future. If you come over, Azai will be happy too."
"good!"
Wu Yin finally understood why Ah Zai was so good.
With such a good mother, how could the child not be outstanding?
While they were chatting, Lin Zai brought her mother-in-law and Che'er into the hall, followed by Zheng Zhen.
As soon as Wu Che saw his sister, he immediately ran over to her. He hugged her hard and cried loudly in her arms, "Sister, I miss you so much."
"Don't cry, my silly Che'er." Wu Yin's voice was choked with sobs.
He is still so thin, with no fat on his body.
Granny Cui slowly walked to her granddaughter. She felt very guilty. If she hadn't been such an old burden, she might not have to suffer so much.
"It's all me who has caused you trouble!" Granny Cui said, wiping her tears.
Wu Yin hurriedly denied, "Don't say that. I don't feel that I am suffering. On the contrary, I can make you no longer hungry. I am really satisfied. Grandma, you must believe me, I will make you live a better life." OK!"
Granny Cui felt so sad after hearing this.
This kid has been sensible since he was a child and has never really thought about himself!
If it happened again, she would never let Yin'er sell herself.
It doesn't matter even if you starve to death, the most important thing is that the family can be together!
Zheng Zhen's eyes turned red when he saw them hugging each other.
During these days, she experienced too many joys and sorrows, which she could not experience in the capital.
"The days are still long, mother-in-law, Che'er, if you miss Yin'er, come to Li's Mansion, we welcome you at any time, and you can rest assured, Ah Zai and I will definitely take good care of Yin'er." Lin Ran said emotionally.
"Really, really thank you!" Granny Cui said with tears in her eyes.
Seeing that she was about to kneel down, Lin Ran hurriedly ran over to help, "Thank you, the children have such a good relationship, we should help each other even more!"
"But we have always been helped by you and Miss Lin. I, an old woman, really don't know how to repay you."
"What you said is wrong. You also took good care of Ah Zai in the village. Mother-in-law, don't worry about this anymore. You finally met each other, so don't just stand here."
Grandma Cui nodded. She was so moved that she didn't know what to say.
"Ah Zai, has anything happened to you these days?"
Wu Yin looked at Ah Zai worriedly.
Just now, she was so immersed in the joy of meeting her family that she forgot what she wanted to ask.
"I'm fine, sister, don't worry."
As soon as she finished speaking, Che'er unexpectedly said, "Sister, sister, she's injured."
"Injured?" Wu Yin's heart trembled, "What happened? How are you doing now?"
"It's okay, sister, don't worry!" Lin Zai quickly replied.
Just now, he forgot to tell Che'er not to tell his sister about this.
Wu Che didn't know that he said the wrong thing. Now he just hugged his sister and was reluctant to let go.
"Is everything really okay?" Wu Yin was still worried.
"Really, I'm not lying to you!"
"Why did you hide this from me?" Wu Yin blamed and felt distressed.
"It won't happen next time, I promise!"
Wu Yin scolded softly: "Don't talk nonsense. There won't be a next time. You must be careful in the future. Do you understand?"
"Um."
"Okay, okay, don't mention these anymore, we all want to be happy today!" Lin Ran said suddenly.
Sometimes she is like a child who has not grown up. Perhaps this is why Li Ao likes her.
Integrity, kindness, yet still innocent.
How wonderful it would be if this simple and beautiful happiness could last forever!
