After being reborn, the young master returned to his village and led his wife and daughters to prosp

If they weren't so short-handed, Lin Fan wouldn't have asked his second brother and sister-in-law to come over.

After all, my sister-in-law is currently in one of the most crucial stages of her life, and it is really not suitable for her to engage in too much strenuous activity.

"Don't worry, your sister-in-law knows what she's doing. She's past her three-month safe period now, so a little bit of activity is actually good for her health."

The two brothers chatted briefly, while Lin Shuying and Xie Hongye had also finished their conversation.

Today, Lin Fan and his friends deliberately stayed home. The four of them went out for a stroll and bought a large amount of delicious food.

The purpose was obvious: to welcome my second brother and sister-in-law back home.

Around 5 p.m., the two girls returned from school.

They were also very excited to see their uncle and aunt.

However, while Sooyoung was excited, she was also slightly disappointed, obviously because she didn't get to see her father and mother.

Lin Fan noticed that Xiuying seemed a little unhappy, so while the others were busy in the kitchen, he came out alone and coaxed the little girl.

"Xiuying, do you miss your mom and dad?"

Xiuying was very sensible and didn't want to put pressure on Lin Fan. She also knew that she could only study better if she stayed in the provincial capital, so she quickly shook her head and said, "Uncle, Xiuying will stay in the provincial capital and study hard. Mom and Dad can come and see me when they have time."

Seeing the sensible little girl, Lin Fan laughed and couldn't help but pat her head, saying, "Silly child, you don't need to say such lies in front of your uncle. Don't you know me? I watched you grow up."

"Missing your parents isn't something you can't talk about. Don't even mention you, I'm all grown up now, and I miss your grandparents and my parents too!"

“It’s perfectly normal for you to miss your parents. Don’t worry, we’ll have them come over in a while. The business over there still needs their help, so it’ll be a bit of a hardship for them. It’s also a bit of a hardship for our daughter to be separated from her parents for the time being!”

Hearing Lin Fan's comforting words, the little girl smiled happily, her face clearly showing a hint of anticipation.

"I understand, Uncle. Xiuying will be good and wait here obediently for Dad and Mom to come back!"

"That's right, that's our good child. Alright, let's tidy up and get ready to eat!"

Today's meal was quite lavish, since there were six of them in total, including two young girls. So Lin Fan and the others prepared six dishes and a soup.

Soon after the food was served, the whole house was filled with its delicious aroma, making everyone's mouths water.

After everyone sat down and were about to start eating, Lin Shuying suddenly said, "Honey, shouldn't we go and call the landlord over to eat with us?"

Lin Zhi and his wife had just arrived, so they were not familiar with the situation here. When Lin Shuying mentioned the landlord, he quickly asked, "Does Xiao Fanren's landlord also live nearby? If so, we should invite him to come and eat with us."

Rural people are generally honest and simple.

Since you've rented someone else's house, you've bound to have some connection with them to some extent. Getting to know each other is a kind of fate, so inviting them to dinner is a way to connect and build relationships.

Lin Fan naturally had no objection to this, and looked at Lin Zhi and the other two, saying, "Second brother, our landlord doesn't live nearby, but right upstairs from us."

"I forgot to tell you, we only rented the area on the first floor. According to the landlord's requirements, we can't go up to the second floor."

"Of course, our landlord is a bit eccentric on weekdays. He almost never comes downstairs. Just pretend he doesn't exist. We only occasionally interact when it's time to eat."

"When the landlord comes down later, you two shouldn't talk, because this landlord has a strange rule: he only allows us to communicate with him in a foreign language at home."

Upon hearing Lin Fan's introduction, Lin Zhi's face showed a hint of surprise.

"foreign language?"

"Xiao Fan, is this landlord a foreigner?"

Lin Fan shook his head but didn't explain further. Instead, he continued to instruct, "He's not a foreigner, but since we promised him, it's best not to break the rules. When you see him later, just greet him with some gestures and expressions, but don't say anything."

Lin Zhi and his companion didn't speak any foreign languages. Although they meant no harm by simply greeting each other, they naturally complied with the request since the other party had made it.

After all, Lin Fan and his group are quite content and happy living here now, and they don't want to ruin the trust they've built up over time because of some inexplicable and unexpected things, and be driven away.

After all, in such a good place in the south of the city, you probably can't find another place like it.

"Are there really such strange rules?"

Lin Zhi and Xie Hongye were the kind of people who listened to instructions. Since Lin Fan had specifically given the instructions, they quickly nodded.

"Understood, Xiao Fan, go ahead. Don't worry, we definitely won't say anything out of line!"

"Okay, I'll go up and call her. You guys wait here for a bit!"

Not long after Lin Fan went upstairs, he knocked on the landlady's door.

The landlord emerged with his usual unkempt, disheveled hair, but thankfully, despite the mess, he smelled pleasantly clean. He clearly paid attention to personal hygiene; it was just unclear why he never bothered to groom himself.

"What do you want from me?"

After the landlady came out, she asked Lin Fan in English as usual.

Under normal circumstances, unless he makes a special request, Lin Fan would not bring the food up, since he had agreed to cook foreign food for her so that she could adapt.

It seems the landlady went out this afternoon and ate out, so I didn't bring her any food.

"Well, I have two more relatives visiting, my second brother and sister-in-law. To welcome them, we've prepared a huge feast. It would be a waste if we couldn't finish it all, so we'd like to invite you to come down and enjoy it with us."

"Of course, my second brother and sister-in-law don't speak any foreign languages, but I've already told them that they won't say anything out of line in front of you or ruin the foreign feel you're looking for, so don't worry."

Lin Fan had said before that he would bring his family to live here in the future.

The landlady had agreed, so her expression didn't change when she heard Lin Fan's words.

"Want to eat?"

The landlady hesitated for a moment, but Lin Fan seemed to know what she was hesitating about and said directly, "I know what you're thinking!"
