Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 752

Chapter 752: Chapter 752: Clear-Headed... Foolishness

During the past half-year or so since he left, Old Sir He has traveled to many places and gained a significant understanding of the current state of traditional Chinese herbal medicine in our country.

It is precisely because of this that Old Sir He returned with such a heavy heart.

Now, his little apprentice wants to cultivate Chinese herbs on a large scale. It’s the perfect opportunity for him to pass on all he has seen and learned over the years, along with his lifetime of experience, to his little apprentice.

He’s just worried that he might not explain things thoroughly enough.

For a while, Lin Chuxia ran over to Old Sir He’s place daily, and the master and apprentice thoroughly analyzed the current situation of traditional Chinese herbal medicine in our country.

Soon it was the end of July, and that day, Lin Chuxia hadn’t even stepped out the door when Lin Jiadong’s voice was heard from outside the courtyard.

His voice carried a hint of excitement, and even Yuan Bao wagged his tail joyfully when he saw him.

Upon seeing his demeanor, Lin Chuxia could already guess a bit in her heart.

She stepped out with a smile and greeted him, "Jiadong, come in quickly. You came so early; did you ride a bicycle here?"

Seeing the bicycle beside him truly surprised Lin Chuxia.

This silly boy, from Ancheng County to Yan City, is over a hundred miles.

Lin Jiadong wiped the sweat off his forehead, smiling foolishly.

"Second sister, I couldn’t sleep as soon as it dawned today. I found out from the county that the bus to Yan City departs at 8:30, so I just decided to ride my bicycle here."

Lin Chuxia was at a loss for words again.

Just after the summer solstice, the days break early; it was bright before 4 AM.

From Daqing Mountain Village to Ancheng County by bicycle takes at most half an hour, and there are no buses after 4 AM.

"Such a long distance, weren’t you afraid you’d get lost on your way?" Lin Chuxia teased him.

There was no navigation at that time; everything depended on one’s eyes and mouth to ask around.

Lin Jiadong was unfazed, "No way, I’ve been here several times for competitions before. I followed the main road, it’s easy to recognize."

The siblings were talking when Zhuang Jingshu came out carrying the child.

Qi Qi, lively by nature, couldn’t be contained inside the house, especially since someone had come from outside.

The little girl was eager to see who was outside.

Seeing the smile on Zhuang Jingshu’s face freeze, Lin Jiadong glanced at Lin Chuxia awkwardly.

To be honest, Lin Jiadong had never met Zhuang Jingshu before.

Previously, it was said that their eldest sister wasn’t part of their family, and the eldest sister’s birth mother had come looking for her.

Mr. and Mother Lin deliberately avoided Lin Jiadong, almost not letting him come home.

However, upon meeting, Lin Jiadong already guessed the other’s identity.

Lin Chuxia maintained her smile, pulling Lin Jiadong over for introductions.

"Mom, this is my brother, Jiadong. Jiadong, this is my mother. You..."

She was still thinking about how Jiadong should address her when he spoke first.

He bowed deeply to Zhuang Jingshu, "Auntie, thank you for giving me my second sister. I know my second sister treats me very well. I will study hard, and in the future, I’ll treat my second sister well..." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

What he said was a bit disjointed and stammered.

By the end, his face was completely red.

Zhuang Jingshu looked on with a complex expression. Knowing that the Lin Family had mistreated her daughter and posed as her daughter, she held great resentment towards them.

She heated up the pan, fried eggs, and made soup. She cooked some ready-made noodles, sliced some sauced beef they had at home, and finally sprinkled a handful of fresh green onions on top.

A large bowl of noodles was brought to the table, and Lin Jiadong’s eyes lit up, "Second sister, I haven’t had your cooking in ages; I’ve been craving it!"

"Alright, stop chattering and eat up,"

Lin Chuxia handed him a pair of chopsticks.

Lin Jiadong took the chopsticks and, without saying a word, started slurping the noodles.

His eating manner was just like someone who was famished.

The adults merely found it amusing, but little Qi Qi was almost drooling.

The little one had just had breakfast with everyone else, so she shouldn’t be hungry. But watching Lin Jiadong eat made her anxious.

She squirmed and wriggled, pointing at Lin Jiadong’s bowl of noodles, continuously shouting, "Eat, eat, eat..."

Fortunately, Lin Chuxia knew her daughter’s ways, and there was still a bit more in the pot.

She served it in her daughter’s special small bowl and gave her a little spoon.

Qi Qi was finally satisfied, sitting across from this unfamiliar uncle.

He took a bite, and she took a bite.

Delicious.

Once Lin Jiadong finished eating, Lin Chuxia sat and chatted with him.

As Jiadong was about to head to university, he was filled with anticipation for his college life and already had some plans.

However, these were only one-sided ideas, and part of his visit to the city today was not just to share the good news; he also wanted to hear his second sister’s opinions.
