The Qin Family was overjoyed upon hearing the news of Lin Chuxia’s pregnancy.
Especially Mrs. Qin and Zhang Guilan, who kept giving numerous reminders to Lin Chuxia.
If Zhang Guilan hadn’t just finished her confinement, Mrs. Qin would have insisted on going to the city with the young couple to take care of Lin Chuxia.
Zhang Guilan didn’t mind at all and wholeheartedly agreed.
In the end, it was Lin Chuxia who calmed them both down.
Probably due to her good health, Lin Chuxia didn’t have any reactions after getting pregnant except for being sleepy.
She could eat, drink, and sleep without any issues and didn’t need any special care.
Besides, there were Qin Yang and Old Master He.
Back at home, as soon as it got cold, the village’s vegetable greenhouses started getting busy again.
The farming supply store always needed someone to watch it, Qin Han was experimenting with a strawberry greenhouse, and with two kids at home, they needed some help.
Even so, Mrs. Qin brought them a lot of things, reminding her to take care of her health and nutrition.
After leaving the Qin Family, Lin Chuxia went to visit Old Master He.
Old Master He was ready to go, and the Su family hadn’t left yet, as they wanted to see him off.
Making it such an official affair made Old Master He a bit uneasy.
He said to Granny Su, who was holding the little great-grandson, "Look at you all, making it seem like I won’t be able to come back. Don’t think it’s over just because you’re seeing me off. Wait till my dear grandchild is born, I’ll definitely bring him back to compete with you."
Granny Su gave him a sideways glance, "Phooey, phooey, phooey, stop jinxing it. I’ll be waiting for you to come back and compete with me."
Despite his casual words, Old Master He looked back at the small courtyard with eyes full of reluctance.
Lin Chuxia hadn’t seen that expression in his eyes for a long time.
She also remembered how he had looked at a photo for a long time while packing.
She knew why he didn’t want to follow her to the city in the past.
The attachment in his heart couldn’t be let go.
"Master, don’t worry. Even if you go with us to Yan City, I’ll make sure everything here is taken care of. No matter what, we can’t have someone sneak into our home," she said deliberately.
Old Master He glanced at her, "What is there to steal in this worn-out place?"
"How could there not be? This little home is worth a fortune. If you don’t mind, I do, because these will be mine someday," Lin Chuxia said as if it was only natural, which made Old Master He smack her on the head.
"Alright, you little rascal. You’ve had your eyes on my things all along, haven’t you?"
"Ouch..."
Lin Chuxia wasn’t prepared and was hit solidly.
She rubbed her head and shrank her neck, looking at Old Master He with a grievance, filled with accusation.
"What do you mean I’m eyeing them? Didn’t you say so before? When you went to see your old friends, you even told me to take care of everything because it would all be mine. Now you’re going back on your word?"
Old Master He awkwardly touched his nose, as he did indeed say that before.
"Are we going or not? I’m getting in the car first."
Avoiding Lin Chuxia’s gaze, he climbed into the Jeep.
Yet this banter indeed improved Old Master He’s mood.
Sitting in the car, he watched Lin Chuxia detail her instructions to Su Wensong to keep an eye on the house. Even if he was busy, he should send an employee over regularly.
