Three hundred and eighteenth chapters hand in a glass of wine
"She's pregnant. It's been two months." Lin Chen carried Ye Jing into the room and called Zhan Yiyang. Zhan Yiyang and Xu Rongrong came over together and checked Ye Jing's pulse to confirm that Ye Jing was pregnant.
Pregnant.
When he heard that Ye Jing was pregnant, Lin Chen was in a daze. He had already given up on things that he had never thought of.
After so many years…
Ye Jing's parents were also happy and didn't know what to do, and Xu Rongrong looked at Zhan Yiyang with emotion.
After several years, there was finally a consummation, but they...
Seeing Zhan Yiyang stand up and walk towards the door, Lin Chen turned around and looked, suddenly had an idea, and followed him out.
"Wait a minute." Lin Chen called out to Zhan Yiyang after he left the door. Zhan Yiyang stopped and Xu Rongrong also walked out of the house.
Standing at the door, Xu Rongrong looked at this man who used to be so strong and strong, and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of pity.
He had been looking forward to it for more than ten or twenty years, but in the end he still missed it.
Even if he thought about it now, she didn't have the ability anymore. She was already in her forties, so how could she give birth to a child.
"Are you guys?" Lin Chen stopped asking halfway through the question. Zhan Yiyang turned around and looked at Lin Chen without any hesitation: "That's my business and has nothing to do with you."
Lin Chen understood everything in an instant, and understood why there was no news about Zhan Yiyang and Xu Rongrong after several years.
"Zhan Yiyang..." Lin Chen wanted to say something, but he didn't say it and finally swallowed it back.
"Let's go back to eat." Zhan Yiyang called Xu Rongrong, and Xu Rongrong followed him and stood next to Zhan Yiyang and glanced at him. It was probably Zhan Yiyang who did good deeds without leaving his name.
He wasn't like this before. Even if he was good, there was still a limit. Now there is no limit.
It's just a pity that time makes people grow old. Even if she doesn't feel ashamed now and wants to give him a daughter, she is afraid that there is nothing she can do.
He is almost in his fifties, and even if he has the ability, he may not really be able to give birth to her.
Zhan Yiyang took Xu Rongrong's hand, turned and walked towards where he was eating, and entered to prepare for dinner.
Only then did Xu Rongrong remember that she hadn't prepared any meals at all.
Xu Rongrong started busy when he got back, but before he could eat, Lin Chen knocked on the door.
The door itself was open, but Lin Chen didn't come in. He stood outside and knocked on the door. Zhan Yiyang was sitting down and preparing to eat when Lin Chen came.
"Why didn't you come in?" Xu Rongrong put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked at Lin Chen, and asked him by the way.
Lin Chen smiled, glanced at the two dishes and one soup on the table, and said, "I've also cooked. There's a table of dishes. You guys come over and let's eat together. There will be more people and it will be lively."
Hearing what Lin Chen said, Xu Rongrong looked towards Zhan Yiyang. Zhan Yiyang picked up the paper bark, rolled it up, took a bite, and picked up chopsticks to eat.
Xu Rongrong immediately looked at Lin Chen and said: "Let's wait for another day. It's a rare visit for your father-in-law and mother-in-law. It wouldn't be appropriate for us to go there. Let's get together after two days of getting to know each other."
We have also prepared the rice, but now we have wasted it and will not go."
Lin Chen stood for a while, seeing that Zhan Yiyang had no intention of leaving. Xu Rongrong took a look at the braised pork specially made for Zhan Yiyang, turned around and took out the remaining bit on a plate.
Xu Rongrong originally brought it to Lin Chen, but Lin Chen had a guest over there and was too embarrassed to bring it over.
"I brought yours, but I didn't send it over. You just came and brought it over." Xu Rongrong brought the braised pork to Lin Chen. Lin Chen lowered his head, glanced down, stretched out his hand to take it, and smiled without being polite: "
Then let’s eat together another day, and I’ll come over and call you early another day.”
"Yes." Xu Rongrong agreed, and Lin Chen turned around and returned to his side.
After entering, Lin Chen put down the plate of braised pork in his hand. Ye Jing's mother stood up hurriedly, with a table full of dishes. To thank Zhan Yiyang, Lin Chen didn't expect that Lin Chen was still alone when he came back, and he had an extra plate of braised pork in his hand.
Meat.
"What is this?" Ye Jing's mother looked at Lin Chen with a strange look on her face.
Lin Chen said with a smile: "I'm almost done eating. It's not the right time to go. I'll go there earlier in the future."
"Is this so?" Ye Jing's mother still felt strange.
"Yes or no?"
"Mom, Zhan Yiyang isn't that kind of person, it's just too late. I'll call them another day and we'll eat first." Lin Chen said as he pulled Ye Jing's mother to sit down, and Ye Jing sat beside him.
, holding a persimmon and a cucumber in his hand.
When cooking started, Ye Jing hid inside the house, as if she didn't like the smell of smoke, and didn't move forward when looking at the dishes on the table.
It was rare for Ye Jing's mother to come over, and Lin Chen felt a little guilty: "Ye Jing seems to be afraid to come over, let's eat first."
"Ignore her, let's eat." Ye Jing's mother pulled her husband to sit down, while Jiu En sat aside. She was very quiet and had nothing to say.
This trip to commemorate En was forced by her father, otherwise she would not have come back.
Ye Jing stayed alone behind her. She would be fine if she ate some cucumber or something. The person was right in front of her, so she wasn't so worried.
After sitting down, the four of us started eating.
Lin Chen and Ye Jing's parents didn't finish the meal until late at night. They ate little and talked a lot. It was Ye Jing's mother who said a lot. Although there were some words of thanks, most of them were words from the bottom of her heart.
Ye Jing's condition has improved in recent years, which is a blessing, but Ye Jing's parents feel that they have gained a son even more.
My current feelings for Lin Chen are better than Ye Jing's.
Ye Jing didn't have to call them. If Lin Chen didn't call, they would feel uncomfortable all over. They wouldn't have to do anything at the end of the day. They would always worry about whether something happened to Lin Chen.
The two people who came here had made up their mind and wanted to take Lin Chen back, but now that their daughter is pregnant again, they can only let it go first.
Although life is poor in the countryside, the environment is better than in the city.
After dinner, Xu Rongrong came over, called Mian En over, arranged a place for them to stay, and took them away.
Lin Chen got up to clean up, and Ye Jing's mother also helped, just like mother and son. The two of them were cleaning up in the kitchen, one on the left and the other on the right.
After cleaning up, Ye Jing's mother went in to see Ye Jing, who was still sitting.
Not long after, Lin Chen brought a bowl of freshly steamed egg custard. It was still a little warm after entering the door, so he hurriedly put it on the table.
"Dad, do you want to eat some? I've made a lot." Lin Chen put down the egg custard and asked, Ye Jing's father was embarrassed, even if he wanted to eat, he couldn't say anything.
"Don't eat, I'm not hungry, you can eat." After saying that, Ye Jing's father went to lie down. The quilts were all ready-made, and there was no extra room here. Fortunately, the kang was big enough.
After taking off her clothes, Ye Jing's father lay down, and then Ye Jing came out, sat on the edge, and looked at Lin Chen's egg custard.
"Mom, please eat some too." Lin Chen asked Ye Jing's mother again.
"I'm not going to eat. I'm tired too. You guys eat." Ye Jing's mother took off her clothes and lay down. Ye Jing looked back and sat on the edge looking at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen filled a small bowl for Ye Jing, blew on it, and gave the spoon to Ye Jing, who ate it in small bites.
Lin Chen turned around and went outside, brought water through the door, washed Ye Jing's feet, and then washed himself. After he finished washing, Ye Jing also finished eating.
After getting up, Lin Chen poured out the water, came back and wiped Ye Jing's face, poured water for Ye Jing, rinsed her mouth before going to rest.
After lying down, Lin Chen turned off the lights in the house, and Ye Jing hurriedly ran into Lin Chen's arms.
Perhaps because she was used to it, Ye Jing had to take off her clothes as soon as she entered, so Lin Chen immediately held down Ye Jing's little hand.
"There is someone there, no." Lin Chen leaned against Ye Jing's ear. Ye Jing nodded hurriedly, hugged Lin Chen's waist tightly, closed her eyes and went to sleep.
When Lin Chen and Ye Jing both fell asleep, Ye Jing's mother glanced at her husband beside her.
The two of them fell asleep silently.
Xu Rongrong got up early in the morning and was preparing to cook. Ye Jing's mother came with Ye Jing.
As soon as they met, I told Xu Rongrong that they had too much food to eat over there.
Xu Rongrong glanced at Zhan Yiyang who came out of the house. He had been up all night and was not tired yet, so he got up so early.
"We have one too, but we can't go through." Zhan Yiyang didn't say anything, and Xu Rongrong didn't dare to agree.
"Everything is ready. Come on over. We will go back first and wait for you to eat." Ye Jing's mother left after speaking. Xu Rongrong looked back at Zhan Yiyang.
"Ginger is still spicy when old." Xu Rongrong said with a smile. Zhan Yiyang went over and rubbed Xu Rongrong's head. After washing the two of them, they went to Lin Chen's place to eat.
When they met, Ye Jing's father pulled Zhan Yiyang over, as enthusiastically as if he were meeting a relative, and personally poured a glass of wine for Zhan Yiyang. Xu Rongrong sat beside him and poured a glass for him as well.
"I won't say any more polite words. Thanks to your care of Lin Chen and his wife in the past few years, I feel very grateful. This glass of wine is my thanks to you."
Ye Jing's father went first as a sign of respect, and then Zhan Yiyang and Xu Rongrong got up from their seats.
Zhan Yiyang didn't say anything, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Xu Rongrong couldn't drink it, so he took a sip less.
After sitting down and starting to eat, Lin Chen started talking.
"There's something I've wanted to say for a long time, but I haven't been able to. Today I'm taking this opportunity, in front of my two elders, to recognize a sister."
Lin Chen said as he poured himself a glass of wine and stood up.
Xu Rongrong was stunned for a moment and looked up at Lin Chen. Thinking of the scenes between the two of them back then, he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
Their encounter is like a story. The beginning of the story is a misunderstanding, but the end is not.
After getting up, Xu Rongrong also stood up and picked up the cup: "It's been done a long time ago, why does it have to be so formal."
"It's different. I have to ask him about this." Lin Chen said and looked at Zhan Yiyang, who was always sitting. Xu Rongrong smiled instead: "He has already regarded you as my brother.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t do this to you.”
"On the other hand, you have never called him brother-in-law, and you have been in vain for so many years, so this glass of wine should be given to him, not me."
Xu Rongrong said and gave the wine glass in his hand to Zhan Yiyang. Lin Chen looked at it and said to Zhan Yiyang: "I was not sensible before. I hope that my brother-in-law will have more, and will not care about me, and will not look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face."
.”
Zhan Yiyang stood up and picked up the wine glass. Lin Chen touched it with him. Just as Zhan Yiyang was about to raise his hand to drink, Lin Chen raised his hand to stop him.
Just when everyone was surprised, Lin Chen put his arm over and drank a glass of wine with Zhan Yiyang in the same way as they exchanged glasses of wine.
Zhan Yiyang watched, and so did everyone. Then Zhan Yiyang picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
