Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 208 Liu Huizhen

Although Lin Qingyan went into Aunt Zhang's house next door, she left her bag and backpack at her own door.

"Girl, how can you leave the bag outside? Bring it in and leave it at your aunt's house!" Aunt Zhang said and wanted to go over to help her get it.

Lin Qingyan smiled and refused, "Aunt Zhang, the best thing about our big yard is that it is safe. You don't have to worry about it if it's parked at your doorstep. Besides, we can see it from here."

"You girl, you put your things at the door instead of at home. What if they get lost? You're not afraid that if you take them to your aunt's house, she will lose your things, right?"

Lin Qingyan said with a smile: "What are you talking about, Auntie? Let alone that we have been neighbors for so many years, even what I brought back were just clothes for changing."

She was really worried about someone rummaging through her bag. After all, Aunt Zhang was known for her strong curiosity.

Aunt Zhang saw her insistence with a smile, and said nothing. She took two stools from the yard and handed one to Lin Qingyan.

Lin Qingyan took it with a smile: "Thank you, auntie, where is your brother Zhuzi?"

Zhuzi is the youngest son of Aunt Zhang, two years older than Lin Qingyan. In order to avoid going to the countryside, Aunt Zhang gave him her job.

Aunt Zhang's tone became lighter when she mentioned her youngest son. "He! He has gone to work too!"

"It's my fault. I forgot that Zhuzi-ge has already gone to work."

Aunt Zhang had no interest in talking about her family affairs and quickly changed the subject.

Asked Lin Qingyan: "Qingyan girl, your brother is married, do you know?"

Lin Qingyan smiled without changing her expression. "My family wrote to me and told me about it, but I couldn't take a leave at that time. I only came back to visit now that I have time."

"Your sister-in-law..." Aunt Zhang looked at Lin Qingyan and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Lin Qingyan smiled and didn't respond. Seeing that she didn't respond, Aunt Zhang said:

"She's a powerful one. Be careful when you go home. Your mother has fought with me for most of her life and has never lost. But recently, she has lost her temper because of your brother and sister-in-law. Sigh!"

Lin Qingyan's expression softened when she heard this. She wanted to ask something, but she held back because she thought that family disgrace should not be made public. Now she was really worried about that stubborn lady.

"Your mother got sick from anger some time ago!"

As soon as Aunt Zhang said this, Lin Qingyan looked over suddenly, which made Aunt Zhang stunned.

"Aunt, my mother is sick?" Lin Qingyan asked nervously.

"It was a while ago, but it's healed now!"

Lin Qingyan was still a little worried when she heard this. She looked up and saw someone outside her door.

“Qingyan, Qingyan!”

When Lin Qingyan heard the shouting, she hurried out and hugged Liu Huizhen, who was holding her waist and looking around.

But Liu Huizhen was startled and heard the person in her arms shouting.

"mom!"

He heaved a sigh of relief and patted Lin Qingyan: "You naughty girl, you still remember to come back!"

"Ouch, ouch! Mom, mom, mom! You hurt your daughter." Lin Qingyan screamed while holding onto Mother Liu tightly.

Liu Huizhen knew that she couldn't hurt her, but the force of the slap was obviously lighter.

Aunt Zhang looked on and sneered.

"If you two want to perform, just go home and perform well. Who are you performing for outside the door?"

Liu Huizhen paused, sent Lin Qingyan over, pinched her waist and was about to start a fight. Lin Qingyan quickly let go of Liu's hand.

He smiled and said to Aunt Zhang: "Aunt, I'm sorry to make you laugh. It's been a long time since I last saw Ms. Liu. I haven't been beaten for a long time. I'm a little excited!"

Liu Huizhen reached out to hit her again, but Lin Qingyan jumped to the side, picked up the bag at the door, and said to Aunt Zhang:

"Aunt, I'm going home first. I'll talk to you tomorrow!"

Only then did he follow Liu Huizhen into his own yard.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming back? I could have asked Qingxuan to pick you up." Liu Huizhen walked in front.

"It was a temporary decision. I didn't know if I could buy tickets at that time, so I planned to give you a surprise!" Lin Qingyan followed Mother Liu into the house with a smile.

Only after they entered the house did they realize something was wrong. There was a woman sitting on a chair in the room. She watched them come in, but did not stand up. She just casually greeted Liu Huizhen.

"Mom, I'm back!"

Liu Huizhen paused, exhaled, and said to Lin Qingyan: "This is your sister-in-law!"

Lin Qingyan looked at the familiar yet strange woman in front of her, Li Hongling. In her previous life, she had only seen this sister-in-law two or three times.

She saw him once when she got married, once when she came back with her brother, and once before she died in her previous life.

Lin Qingyan stared at her blankly. Liu Huizhen looked at her stunned daughter and called out to her, "Qingyan, this is your sister-in-law!"

Lin Qingyan came back to her senses and smiled: "Hello sister-in-law, I am Lin Qingyan!"

Li Hongling then stood up and said with a smile: "It's Qingyan. I often hear your brother talk about her. You must be tired. Sit down!"

Then he asked Lin Qingyan to sit down. Lin Qingyan suddenly felt like a guest at someone else's house.

But he still smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I've been in the car for a few days, so I'll go back to the house and change my clothes first."

After saying that, she was about to pick up her bag and go back to her room, but Liu Huizhen stopped her.

"Qingyan, go to Qingxuan's room to change your clothes. Your room is occupied by your brother and sister-in-law now!"

Liu Huizhen put down the food in her hands and helped Lin Qingyan take the luggage to Lin Qingxuan's room.

Lin Qingyan was stunned and followed Liu Huizhen into Qingxuan's house. Her brother and sister-in-law got married and lived in her house? She had never expected this. In her previous life, they didn't live in their house at all, so this situation had never happened.

Before, there were three rooms in our house, one for my parents, one for my older brother and one for my younger brother. Since I was a girl, I had a room of my own.

"When your brother and sister-in-law got married, they originally planned to use your brother and Qingxuan's house and let Qingxuan move to your house temporarily. Your sister-in-law came to our house and said that your house was clean, so she chose your house as the wedding room."

Liu Huizhen got a little angry when she said this. What she didn't say was that she had tried to negotiate at the time, but Li Hongling's mother directly said that this room was bigger.

Besides, her daughter will get married sooner or later, so there is no need for her to have a separate room. And her eldest son insisted on using his sister's room, even though the two rooms are the same size.

"Let Qingxuan sleep with your dad these days, and you sleep with me." Liu Huizhen reached out and touched her daughter's head.

Lin Qingyan smiled and hugged her, saying to her: "Mom, that's great, I haven't slept with you for a long time!"

Liu Huizhen breathed a sigh of relief and patted her: "You are still a child! Still acting like a spoiled child!"

"No matter how old I am, I am still a child in front of my mother. Isn't that what you said?" Lin Qingyan continued to act coquettishly.

"Okay, stop joking and change your clothes. I'm going to go out and cook. Your dad and the others will be off work soon!"

After saying this, Liu Huizhen turned around and went out, helping to close the door.

The smile on Lin Qingyan's face fell after Liu Huizhen left.
