Chapter 907
Lin Lan’s steps were small and she couldn’t be as fast as him no matter how fast she hurried, so he slowed down to accommodate her. He held her hand, but after a while Lin Lan pulled out since there were too many people on the road!
The people journeying on this road were all returning to their parents’ homes. Few rode bicycles and most of them walked. Occasionally, they saw an old lady with small feet being pushed on a wheelbarrow whereas another family borrowed a donkey cart from the brigade to pull a cart of women and children. Upon seeing Lin Lan’s family of beautiful children, onlookers couldn’t help but offer their praise.
Lin Lan was getting hot from walking, so she took off her coat and Han Qingsong helped her hold onto it. With the coat covering their hands, he took the chance to naturally grasp her hand in his again. This time, she let it be.
The children were chasing each other in front, their laughter resonating straight to the skies. The couple walked hand-in-hand behind them, one with a cold face but gentle eyes and the other with a warm smile.
When Lin Lan and Han Qingsong walked into the Lin family house side by side, Eldest Sister Lin and Second Sister Lin were already there, but Lin Mei had not yet arrived. However, Lin Lan did not expect that not only her Eldest Sister-in-law was there, but Tang Hehua was present as well.
The few who arrived then greeted each other and talked about the New Year. When Lin Lan turned to greet Tang Hehua, the latter pretended not to see her and turned away to talk to the children. Lin Lan ignored her instead and talked to her sisters and other sisters-in-law.
After greeting each other, the men followed Old Man Lin to their east room whereas the women followed the old lady to the west room, Eldest Sister Lin’s room.
Eldest Sister-in-law Lin asked, “Why hasn’t the Third Sister arrived yet?” She asked Laixi to go and find her. In the past, Lin Mei would have arrived by this time.
Lin Lan looked at the watch, “Is she not coming?”
