Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth-Chapter 297: Meeting the In-Laws

We’ll be back soon. Zhang Haijun’s family didn’t come along, saying they’d rest for a bit and pick them up later because they’re too tired now.

Zhang Yuan neither nodded nor shook his head, paid the money, and then came out with his wife.

Sun Bing’s brother and sister have already gone home. Lin Yun and Lin Xia silently followed along with the elderly couple, occasionally handing them warm water to quench their thirst.

The thermos was prepared by the eldest sister, and it’s really useful.

Zhang Yu’s gaze occasionally swept over the two sisters, but he quickly averted his eyes, so the sisters didn’t notice at all.

On the way back, Lin Xue had already brought a lot of things, like fish and meat. It being winter, vegetables couldn’t be brought, so she only brought dried mushrooms and vegetables.

She brought plenty of candy too, all for the little ones at home. Xiao Feng and Xiao Cai are at the age of loving snacks, and they’ll surely pester her for some at home.

To make it easier on the bus, she didn’t take things out in advance. Now, if she doesn’t take them, it’ll be hard to find an excuse. She could say she bought them on the way back from the guesthouse.

"Wife, you haven’t answered my question yet!" Zhang Yuan walked beside Lin Xue, carrying many things in both hands, but with a knot in his heart, he pestered Lin Xue whenever there was a chance.

"What question? Did you ask me any question?" Lin Xue played dumb.

"Honey, you can’t go back on your word. We agreed on three years!" Zhang Yuan grew anxious. This won’t do, how could she back out? He was all prepared.

"I still have a year and a half before graduation!" Lin Xue answered directly.

"Wife, I can help you transfer to the Capital City to study high school, or I can directly find a tutor for you to study at home!" Zhang Yuan said eagerly.

Staring intently at Lin Xue, afraid her next words would be a refusal.

"I still want to be with my two sisters. Once I go to the Capital City, it’ll be hard to see my family!" Lin Xue pouted.

"Then bring the family along. You have a house in the Capital City, don’t you? I can arrange schools for the younger ones, and a job for Uncle, is that okay?"

Zhang Yuan’s urgent tone made Lin Xue feel both amused and helpless. How anxious was this guy? He’s really eager to this extent?

"My career is still here!" Lin Xue, feeling playful, added another condition.

Zhang Yuan flipped his bangs, "What career? The Capital City is wide open, and it’s not enough for you to expand your ambitions?"

They bickered all the way, with Lin Xue laughing so hard. Yet she still didn’t give Zhang Yuan a definite answer.

However, she took to heart what he said about taking her family to the Capital City.

She had thought of this long ago. Now that their family holds city residency, coupled with her house in the Capital City, getting registered there isn’t a problem. As long as her parents and grandmother are willing to go, she might as well move the family to the Capital City.

After all, she fell in love with a man from the Capital City, but couldn’t bear to leave her family. The little ones really held her love.

At that time, once the little ones’ schools are arranged, she can find her father a job. She knew her parents wouldn’t just rely on their kids for support. They’d certainly want to be self-reliant. Her father is still young and strong. Not giving him work would leave him uncomfortable.

The younger brothers and sisters studying in the Capital City would be better than here anyway. Since Zhang Yuan could arrange it, why not make use of it when possible?

It’s not like she lacks money. She even has plenty to spend, and she knows how to earn more. With additional advantages, like Zhang Yuan said, expanding her skills in the Capital City is a great future prospect.

Isn’t it better than trying to eke out a living in this small place’s black market? And it’s already ’72, the economy will soon open up. With memories from a previous life, she could be the first to seize new opportunities, if not becoming the world’s richest person, then definitely making a name.

Thinking these thoughts, in Zhang Yuan’s extreme dissatisfaction, they arrived at the station. The elderly couple’s luggage wasn’t much, mostly carried by Zhang Yu, so Zhang Yuan carried the ingredients Lin Xue brought.

Lin Yun had the most luggage; Lin Xia could only manage it with help. Most of Lin Xue’s stuff was stored away, so she helped Zhang Yuan carry some as they headed home.

The elderly were still in good shape, and the grandpa, having been in the military all his life, had great physical stamina.

They didn’t even gasp for breath before reaching home. Grandma was different; she was panting a bit once home, but still smiling broadly, waving off Zhang Yuan and his brother’s offer to carry her.

Wang Cuihua occasionally popped out to take a look. When Lin Xue and the group arrived, she happened to come out, rushed over seeing Lin Xue.

"Mom..." Lin Xue called, as Wang Cuihua stopped, she began introductions.

"Grandpa, Grandma, this is my mom!" Lin Xue was cautious not to mention her mom’s name, lest the elders think she was being disrespectful.

"Dear elders, you must be tired? Please, come inside, it’s chilly out!" Wang Cuihua was a bit nervous, having never met city folks before--except for Zhang Yuan. But with Zhang Yuan, she was always at ease, not like now.

She rubbed her hands on her clothes before helping grandma inside.

Grandma sensed her nervousness, patted her hand, "Not tired at all, a bit of exercise is good for health!"

As she spoke, Lin Shan and Lin Chuan came running out. First, they dashed into the main room, informing the three old folks watching the house inside.

Soon, Bai Xianglan came out with two three-year-olds, and Li Xiuying carrying a one-year-old.

Zhang Yuan stepped forward, introducing the elders, and grandpa showed no airs, conversing amicably with Grandpa Wang.

Once everyone was settled, Zhang Yu was led to rest in Zhang Yuan’s room, leaving Lin Xue free to warm up with the little ones.

"Big sis, I’ve missed you so much!" As soon as Xiao Shuang found a chance, she ran up, hugging her arm tight.

"Do you only miss big sis? Not third sis?" Lin Xia tapped her forehead.

"I do miss her too! Just didn’t get the chance to say it yet! But I miss big sis the most!" Xiao Shuang stuck out her tongue.

Lin Shan and Lin Chuan acted more reserved as boys, not clinging like Xiao Shuang, but they came over, eager to ask questions.

Soon, Lin Shan went off to find Zhang Yuan, thinking he’d better chat with brother-in-law than a group of girls.

Only Lin Chuan remained, seeing big sis, grew even gloomier, standing silently by her side.

Lin Xue quickly noticed his behavior, and after observing, saw this child seemed troubled, a face full of unhappiness.

"Little Chuan, what’s wrong?" She couldn’t help but ask.

Her way of educating her siblings was to express their thoughts openly, to communicate, as that makes resolving conflicts easier. If they say nothing, how would others know what they’re thinking?

"Big sister, nothing’s wrong, just a bit unwilling to let you go..." Lin Chuan didn’t disappoint her, voicing his true feelings.

"Little Chuan, why do you feel bad about big sis? Are you reluctant because she won’t be cooking soon? If so, don’t eat later then! You always eat the most when big sis cooks something tasty!" Lin Xia’s straightforward personality always led her to perceive things simplistically.
