The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.
Chapter 45 Lin Xi's Gifts to Her Family
Her grandmother usually wore black or dark brown clothes, plain and simple except for buttons. But now that she had changed into light-colored clothes, she looked like she was ten years younger.
Seeing her granddaughter's expression, Lin Guiying thought it wasn't pretty and hurriedly tried to take it off, but Lin Xi grabbed her hand, "Oh my god, Grandma, it looks so good! I was stunned!"
I was wondering, is this really my grandma? She looks ten years younger.
"But, but I'm looking out the window..."
Lin Xi interrupted her grandmother, grabbed her hand, and led her outside. "Oh dear, why are you looking through the window? You can't even see the colors clearly. Come here, come up to the mirror and see how pretty you are."
When Lin Guiying got to the mirror, she was startled by her reflection. "Oh my god, is that me?"
This is no exaggeration. Lin Guiying's skin is naturally very fair, and even as she gets older, she only has more wrinkles and age spots.
I usually wear dark clothes, which don't really flatter my skin tone. But wearing light colors makes my skin look even whiter and my complexion look better.
The two peony flowers on her chest made the old lady look even more noble and elegant. Unlike Lin Guojun, who was hunched over, she always stood up straight. Her demeanor really resembled that of a wealthy old lady.
"Grandma, what do you think? I didn't lie to you, did I? When my grandpa comes back, he'll be even more amazed than I am. He'll be completely stunned."
"Hey, you child, what are you saying?" Lin Guiying turned left and right in front of the mirror, looking at herself non-stop, her eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.
I must say, my granddaughter has excellent taste; this outfit suits her perfectly.
After the old lady had looked in the mirror enough, she wanted to take off her clothes, but Lin Xi wouldn't allow it and insisted that she change them only when they got dirty.
Lin Guiying couldn't resist her granddaughter's nagging and, fearing she would get the food dirty, put on an apron and sleeves before starting the fire to cook.
Lin Xi quietly put the system's running shoes together with her father's shoes and went back to her room to organize her books.
As darkness fell, Lin Guojun and Lin Dayuan returned home at the same time. Lin Guiying had already prepared the meal and was serving the dishes on the table.
"Ying, is Xiaoxi back?" Lin Guojun had been worried about his granddaughter all day, afraid that something might have happened to her.
"I'm back, I'm doing great, and I even bought a bunch of stuff."
Hearing this, Lin Dayuan felt relieved, as he was also worried about his daughter.
Lin Guiying set out the food and took off her apron and sleeves to eat. Lin Guojun, who was standing next to her, was stunned when he saw his wife's clothes. His eyes widened and his mouth was agape.
Lin Dayuan had never seen his mother like this before, and he froze on the spot, motionless.
Just as Lin Guiying was about to sit down, she noticed her husband and son staring intently at her. Feeling flustered, she unconsciously fidgeted with the hem of her dress. "What...what are you looking at? This is a new dress Xiaoxi bought for me. This child won't let me take it off..."
Lin Xi happened to come out and, seeing her grandmother's embarrassed look for the first time, burst out laughing.
Lin Guiying was annoyed by her granddaughter's laughter and reverted to her usual sharp-tongued self, "Alright, alright! What are you looking at! Like you've never seen new clothes before, hurry up and eat!"
Seeing that the old lady was about to get angry, the group quickly looked away, sat down, and started eating. As Grandpa Lin ate, he started eating into Grandma Lin's face, and would steal glances at her from time to time.
Lin Guiying angrily stacked her chopsticks, patted the old man's back, and said, "If you look at me again, I'll gouge out your eyes. If you don't want to eat, get out."
Lin Xi was afraid that her grandmother would get angry and refuse to wear the clothes anymore, so she quickly said, "Grandpa, you have to get used to it. My grandmother will have to wear clothes like this every day from now on. Next time I will buy her a light pink one."
"Why would an old lady like me wear light pink? Please don't buy it for me. If it weren't so inexpensive, I would have asked you to return it."
"That won't do. Even if you want to cancel, my grandpa won't let you, right, Grandpa?"
"Hey, hey, hey, you can't return it, it looks so good on you. You look like a young lady in this dress, it reminds me of when we first got married."
Lin Guiying blushed, a rare occurrence for her. "What are you saying? The children are all here. You're so old, what kind of young lady are you? Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?"
Lin Xi stopped laughing at her grandmother. The older generation's love was simple yet profound. There were no impromptu declarations of love, only unwavering companionship. Even with gray hair, their hearts were still as moved as ever.
"Grandpa, Dad, I also bought you two pairs of shoes. We'll see if they fit after dinner."
Upon hearing this, the two of them ate faster, surprised to find that there was even a portion for them.
After the meal, the two finally saw their shoes. Grandpa Lin even washed his feet before trying them on.
As soon as Lin Guojun put them on, he felt as if he were surrounded by a ball of cotton, soft and warm. Soon his feet started to feel warm. After walking a few steps, he found that the soles were not stiff at all and were extremely lightweight.
"Xiao Xi, these shoes are so comfortable! They're even more comfortable than going barefoot! How much did you pay for them?"
If it weren't so hot, he wouldn't want to take it off.
"They're so cheap, only 20 yuan a pair. Dad's are 20 yuan too."
Lin Dayuan had just returned from washing his feet. He picked up the shoes and looked at them. "So cheap! The material looks like it cost two hundred. Why does this label look so familiar?"
Lin Xi hurriedly said that it was a fake product she bought at a small shopping mall, but the shop owner said it was almost the same as the real thing.
Lin Dayuan put them on, stood on tiptoe, and found the soles to be very soft, perfectly conforming to the shape of his feet, more comfortable than any shoes he had ever worn.
"The size is just right, and it's quite soft, perfect for me to wear while driving."
He walked around in circles in his shoes, making Lin Guiying dizzy. "Oh dear, Dayuan, stop walking around like that. You'll be wearing them tomorrow anyway, take them off."
Lin Dayuan took off his shoes and even wiped the soles with a rag.
He figured the shoes couldn't be cheap; 20 yuan would be enough to fool the two elderly people.
But he didn't point it out; it was just a child's sentiment, he thought, so he just accepted it.
I'll have to be careful when wearing them from now on; these shoes definitely cost at least two hundred yuan.
"Grandpa, you have to wear it tomorrow too. Anyway, it's so cheap, we can just buy another one if it gets damaged."
Lin Guojun didn't stand on ceremony and readily agreed.
Lin Dayuan's lips twitched when he heard this. He really thought it was 20 yuan. His dad's shoes were the same brand as his, and they would definitely cost at least 200 yuan.
Tsk, wearing shoes that cost two hundred yuan to pick up trash, if her dad knew the truth, he'd have a heart attack. Hopefully, his daughter won't give herself away this time.
Lin Xi was naturally unaware that her father had already figured her out, but Xiao Yi knew and was secretly delighted. This family was really interesting.
"Xiao Xi, didn't you buy anything for yourself?"
Lin Dayuan noticed that the whole family had new shoes and clothes, but his daughter was still wearing the same outfit.
"I bought a pair of running shoes. Look, I tried them on, and they're so comfortable."
Lin Dayuan took the shoes and examined them closely. There were no tags on them. His daughter had bought nice things for everyone, but she had bought a no-name brand. Thinking of this, he frowned.
Seeing that her father wasn't very satisfied, Lin Xi said, "Dad, look at the material. These shoes of mine are more expensive than all of yours combined."
Despite saying that, none of them believed it.
Lin Dayuan examined the material carefully again. It was quite good; it cost at least 100 yuan, if not 200.
His tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed, but his eyes reddened slightly. What did he do to deserve such a wonderful daughter?
Xiao Yi was inwardly raging: These shoes are priceless! This person has no taste! How dare they complain about them! ...
After admiring their gifts, the group went back to their rooms.
Grandma Lin felt like she'd forgotten to ask something, but now she was carefully checking the sweater for dirt. If she couldn't remember, she'd ask later. Oh dear, this sweater is so beautiful…
Lin Xi felt like she'd forgotten to mention something, but she was busy finishing the novel's ending right now, so she'd just say it later if she couldn't remember. Sigh, should the ending kill him off or keep him alive...?
Lin Guojun and his son drifted off to sleep with smiles on their faces.
