The rural daughter-in-law of the bank president

"Auntie!" Lele also stood up and greeted sweetly.

"Wuya, let me say a few words to Lele." The aunt looked at Wei Wuya. Wei Wuya's smile froze for a moment and he looked at Lele.

Lele laughed awkwardly and said, "Haha, I'll chat with my aunt for a while, you go find my uncle-in-law for a drink."

Wei Wuya poured a glass of wine, looked at Lele again, smiled at his aunt, and walked away.

"Aunt, sit down and talk." Lele moved the chair outward for his aunt to sit.

"Hehe, my sister is really amazing. She raised such a big girl without us knowing it." The aunt narrowed her eyes and looked at Lele.

"Oh, really? I didn't know mom didn't tell you." Lele was a little nervous and picked up the wine in his hand and took a sip.

"That's right. I introduced a few girls to Wu Ya before. Donghai has more and better resources. My sister doesn't want them, and neither does Wu Ya."

The person who came had bad intentions, Lele secretly clicked his tongue.

"You need to be more considerate to your mother. She is in menopause and needs more care."

Lele's scalp tingled from being stared at. "Auntie, I get it."

"None of you kids are worry-free. Isn't the point of marriage to have children? Graduate students can have children without affecting their studies. Your grandparents are getting old, so if you have children soon, they can have great-grandchildren for a few more years."

Lele bit her lip, wanting to express her thoughts, but held back, "Yeah, I understand! I will discuss this issue with Wuya."

"Well..." My aunt suddenly hesitated after she finished speaking.

"What's wrong, aunt? Tell me." Lele could see that his aunt had something to say.

"Oh, it's Xiao Min, this child..."

"What happened to Xiao Min?"

"She doesn't communicate with me much now. She doesn't say anything when I ask her questions. She always likes to lock herself in the room. I don't know what she is doing. It's really worrying. She has the college entrance examination this year, and I'm afraid she will fall in love too early." The aunt is preparing to ask Lele for help.

"Oh, about this. I understand, Auntie. It's because of our relationship that Xiaomin might not be able to trust me. I'll give it a try. I'll talk to her when I have a chance.

Also, don't be too anxious. As your child grows up, she needs more space of her own. So, it's you, auntie, who should relax and adjust your mood." Lele's soft and gentle voice was very helpful to her auntie.

"Well, hehe, you are indeed likable and your words are really nice." The aunt smiled and turned into a good aunt.

"Haha, aunt, if you have anything you want to talk to me about, you can call me anytime. I just got through Xiaomin's stage not long ago, so I have some experience I can give you for reference." Lele said sincerely.

"Okay. Let's not drink anymore and prepare for pregnancy as soon as possible!" The aunt said this before leaving, and Lele stuck out her tongue.

As soon as my aunt left, Wei Wuya ran over and asked, "Did I give you any trouble?"

"Haha, no more." Lele's face was a little red because she had been urged to give birth to a child.

"Then why are you blushing so much!"

"Really? Maybe it's from drinking." Lele has also learned to lie.

"You're lying. You just took a sip!" Wei Wuya kept staring at her.

Lele blinked his eyes and tried to hold back his laughter, "Do you want to be a father?"

Wei Wuya understood immediately, "Hahahahahahahaha, you're being urged again, right? Not yet, I still want to spend a few more years in our world of two."

"Then you have to block it, I can't handle it!"

"Well, I'll tell my mom later. If it really doesn't work, just tell her I can't do it!"

Lele laughed so hard that he leaned on the dining table and laughed until his stomach hurt. "You're so cruel! This is the first time I've heard a man say he's not good enough! Haha!"

"It's good for you to know whether it works or not." Wei Wuya had a wicked smile on his face, and his peach blossom eyes began to show affection again.

Lele smiled and reached out to push Wei Wuya's head away. "Don't look at me like that. It makes me feel uneasy! Let's go toast to our elders!"

"Ah."

The two of them filled the glasses with wine, starting with grandparents and going all the way to my aunt and uncle.

After a walk around, Lele took the wine and went to Lin Xianglan again.

"Mom!" Lele smiled sweetly. "I toast to you. I'm not very good at speaking in this kind of situation, but I'm very grateful to you in my heart. I've always been very grateful to you. You and my mom are both my real mothers."

Lele was so moved by what she said that her eyes became moist.

"Hehe, you still can't speak? You are much more confident and generous than last year!" Lin Xianglan also praised sincerely.

The lively dinner party lasted until the New Year countdown, and then it dispersed. Everyone checked into their rooms to rest.

They went to worship their ancestors early in the morning on the first day of the new year. Old Master Lin asked the nursing home to prepare a car. Wei Wuya, Wei Qifeng and Lin Xianglan each drove one to the ancestral hall in the suburbs.

The ancestral hall in Jiangquan was newly built a few years ago because Mr. Lin was old and it was inconvenient for him to travel to the ancestral hall in his ancestral home in southern Hunan.

The Lin Family Ancestral Hall was built next to Jiangquan Temple.

Jiangquan Temple is well-known throughout the province, answering all prayers. Because the area is vast and sparsely populated, there are relatively few temples, and even fewer temples with significant incense. Therefore, this temple has become a must-visit for pilgrims passing through. The frequent visits of eminent monks and saints add a touch of mystery to this ancient temple.

The Lin Family Ancestral Hall was small, surrounded by a wall like a suburban house. From the outside, one could only see the towering eaves and exquisite carvings, but nothing else.

The main gate of the ancestral hall is also a fully enclosed iron gate. You must look at it. You can see the spacious front yard and exquisite stone steps through the gap in the door.

There are professional security guards inside, who are retired soldiers from Mr. Lin’s previous army. There are three of them, one is responsible for security and two are responsible for cleaning.

Entering the ancestral hall, one will find a strictly symmetrical layout, with the family ancestral tablet enshrined in the center and flanked by side rooms and side halls for family meetings or other activities.

The decoration of the ancestral hall is not luxurious, but it contains some exquisite calligraphy and paintings and murals depicting family history.

The incense table, offering table, etc. in the ancestral hall are made of high-quality wood and are exquisitely carved.

There is a side hall dedicated to displaying some of Mr. Lin’s old belongings, medals, photos and other souvenirs from his time in the army.

Lele followed the elders and followed Wei Wuya into the ancestral hall to pay homage. This was her second time to the ancestral hall, the first time being after the engagement banquet.

As usual, after the worship, we would visit Mr. Lin’s showroom and listen to him talk about the past. The family would drink tea, eat snacks and chat for a long time in the side room.

Wei Wuya listens to his grandfather's stories every year, and his ears are covered with calluses. This year there were many people, so he pulled Lele out of the ancestral hall.

Lin Shuyue and Xiaomin did not come.

The two of them were chatting in a secluded corner at the back of the courtyard. Behind the ancestral hall was a row of storage rooms, most of which were locked, and no one knew what was inside.

Lele was still very worried about Lin Shuyue, and the two of them chatted casually.

As he was speaking, Lin Xianglan walked out of a storage room and locked the door.

When she turned around and saw Wei Wuya and Lele, Lin Xianglan's expression flashed with panic, but she quickly concealed it with a smile, "Why are you outside?"
