New ink fragrance in old times

In a corner of the Lin family's home, the soft candlelight flickered, illuminating the figures of the two brothers Lin Sixuan and Lin Siyuan.

In the room, Lin Sixuan was carefully reviewing the homework that Lin Siyuan had completed in recent days.

"Well, not bad, there has been progress." Lin Sixuan's eyes were full of satisfaction and appreciation.

Lin Siyuan received his brother's recognition and a bright smile appeared on his face: "Thank you for your guidance, big brother. I will work harder in the future."

Lin Sixuan smiled and patted Lin Siyuan's shoulder: "Brother, I believe in you. It's getting late, you should rest early."

"Brother, I'm going to have a rest. You should also rest early."

Lin Siyuan said, turning around to leave, but glanced back as if worried, and saw Lin Sixuan still sitting at the desk, with a book in his hands, studying intently.

Lin Siyuan felt that his elder brother seemed to be working harder than before and wanted to persuade him to take a break. But suddenly he thought of something, so he said no more, closed the door gently and left the room.

The room was quiet again, with only the subtle sound of Lin Sixuan turning pages and the occasional chirping of insects outside the window.

Lin Xuebao looked at Lu's cheerful face and couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Wife, what makes you so happy? Look at your smile, it's like a flower."

Lin Xuebao asked gently, his eyes full of love.

Mrs. Lu's smile grew even brighter. She snuggled gently against Lin Xuebo, her tone filled with pride and satisfaction. "In the afternoon, I took Wulang and He'er to Lujiazui and returned to my parents' home."

Lin Xuebo was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "Wife, why don't you call me? Wouldn't it be better if I took He'er and Nan Nan and went with you to meet my parents-in-law?"

Mrs. Lu shook her head slightly and explained, "Mother and Dalang went to deliver some food, and I happened to be free, so I went along. Since you've been so busy lately, I didn't have the heart to disturb you."

After hearing this, Lin Xuebo felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He gently held Lu's hand and asked with concern, "Wife, are you tired? Do you want me to massage your shoulders?"

Lu smiled and shook her head, with a happy smile in her eyes: "Not tired."

Mrs. Lu suddenly sighed, "It's been dry this year. It hasn't rained much, and many crops have withered. Many people in my family can't pay their rent."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuebo patted Lu's back gently to comfort her: "Wife, relax, I'm here."

A touch of emotion flashed in Lu's eyes. She hugged Lin Xuebo tightly, her voice choked with sobs: "Brother Bo, thank you."

Lin Xuebo was a little puzzled and asked gently, "Wife, what's wrong? Why are you saying this suddenly?"

Mrs. Lu said slowly, "This time, mother brought a dou of rice and a liter of beans. In previous years, it was millet, but this year it was white rice. I calculated that the new rice pounded by my eldest sister-in-law, my second sister-in-law, my eldest sister-in-law, and my youngest sister-in-law yesterday is almost gone."

Lin Xuebo: "What's the big deal? Doesn't my mother give gifts to every family every year?"

Lu: "Brother Bo, this time is different."

Mrs. Lu hugged Lin Xuebo and said, "Brother Bo, thank you, and thank you, mother."

Lin Xuebo: “Yeah.”

Mrs. Lu: "Thank you, and thank you, mother."

Lin Xuebo felt a surge of pride in his heart: "Well, you are my wife, my mother will definitely treat you well."

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu's eyes turned red and she cried with joy.

Seeing this, Lin Xuebao hurriedly comforted her softly.

On the other side, Lin Xuejin was also comforting his pregnant wife.

Lin Xuejin: "Suniang, don't worry, tomorrow Sanlang will bring the gift to mother-in-law, and he will definitely deliver your gift intact."

Han Suniang (Han), with slightly red eyes and a hint of longing and helplessness in her eyes:

"My third sister-in-law went back to her parents' home today. Seeing her happily taking the shoes and socks she made herself, I felt sad. I also want to go back to see my parents and give them the coat I made myself, so that they can know my daughter's love."

Lin Xuejin sighed softly, trying to calm his wife. "Suniang, you're pregnant now, and it's inconvenient for you to move around. Mother understands this, and she's very considerate of your hard work. Look, didn't your sister-in-law go today? Mother hopes you can rest assured and take care of the baby, and not overwork yourself."

Han Suniang's eyes welled up with tears when she heard this, and her voice was choked with sobs: "But, when my eldest brother is free, he will accompany my eldest sister-in-law back to her parents' home. Even if it's just a walk and a visit, it makes my eldest sister-in-law happy. And I haven't seen my mother for several months, and I miss her so much."

Seeing this, Lin Xuejin felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He clumsily reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of his wife's eyes, trying to make his tone more relaxed:

"Suniang, don't cry. It makes me sad if you do that. We've almost finished the work in the fields, and the weather has been great these past few days. I thought I'd take this opportunity to build our new house. When the house is finished, I'll definitely go back with you so we can spend some quality time with our parents-in-law. How about that?"

Han Suniang shook her head, a look of worry in her eyes: "But I'm getting older this month, and it's almost the beginning of winter, and the weather is getting colder. When our house is built, I'm afraid it will be even more inconvenient for me to walk. I'm worried..."

Lin Xuejin held his wife's hand tightly, his eyes full of tenderness:

"Suniang, you've worked really hard recently. You've sacrificed so much for this family and our children. I was negligent and didn't consider your feelings. Tomorrow, I'll go with you, and we'll take Erlang with us. Erlang will be going to community school in a few days, so we can take this opportunity to go back as a family and let Erlang meet his grandparents. What do you think?"

Han Suniang's eyes flashed with surprise, but then a look of doubt appeared: "Really? You are not trying to cheer me up, are you?"

Lin Xuejin nodded solemnly: "Really, I will go and talk to mother tomorrow morning. She will definitely agree."

When Han Suniang heard this, tears rolled down her face again, but this time they were tears of joy.

Her voice was choked with sobs: "Yeah."

Lin Xuejin patted his wife's back gently, his eyes full of love, and said softly:

"Suniang, you are my wife, the most important person in my life. I am willing to do anything for you. It's getting late, let's go to bed. We have to get up early and travel tomorrow."

Han Suniang: "Yeah."

Early in the morning, Lin Mo slowly opened his eyes. At a glance, he saw his mother sitting beside the bed with a happy smile on her face.

Although Lin Mo didn't know why Han Suniang was in such a good mood, seeing the smile on her face, Lin Mo's mood also improved a lot.

Lin Mo: "Morning, Mom."

Han Suniang smiled and said, "Sanlang, you're awake now. It's still early. You should sleep a little longer."

Lin Mo shook his head: "No, I'm going to the backyard to help Dad."
