NOVPUBNow that the food she packed for Haonan was finished, coupled with the fact that
they were busy with the autumn harvest, it wouldn’t be a good look to have Haonan remain at Lin Lan’s house and obstruct them from earning work points.
She knew that Han Qingsong was not at home during the day and Lin lan would get busy sometimes, so she purposely came at noon. At a time like this, someone was always bound to be home.
As a result, Lin Lan was alone at home as Lin Mei didn’t even see any children.
Lin Lan smiled and said, “Why are you here? He hasn’t finished his rations yet.”
Lin Mei, “Oh gosh, my mother-in-law has been nagging me all day long and it’s been making my head hurt. Though, these days she hasn’t been commenting as much,” She pinched her temples. She didn’t have a bicycle, so it meant that she had walked from the market.
Lin Lan asked her to sit in the house and poured her some hawthorn water, “Let me give you a massage. Our Director certified that my techniques are great.”
The truth was that she had gone to way too many masseuses in her past life and actually managed to learn a few tricks, haha.
Lin Mei, “That’s great then, I should get a feel of the Director treatment as well.”
Lin Lan massaged Lin Mei’s temples, rubbed her neck again and targeted some specific acupoints.
Lin Mei, “Alright, that’s a lot better. Lan Huahua, you’re getting even more amazing as time passes by, I can’t believe you know how to do even this!”
Lin Lan smiled but said nothing.
Lin Mei suddenly looked at her and said, “If we weren’t twins, I would have thought you were replaced.”
Lin Lan, “Haha, how funny,” You guessed it right.
Lin Mei said again, “I thought about what you said before, about discussing with the brigade. They have been arguing for the past few days, but ultimately, they are just being greedy and want to swallow up my business. So, how can I let them have their way? If I have my mother-in-law fight them in my stead, the outcome would probably be better for me.”
Old Lady Zheng was cheerful and eloquent, but she was also a gunner in the past. Moreover, she has always had a good relationship with the people around her all along and the brigade cadres also usually let her have some leeway.
Lin Lan laughed at what she said. Seeing that her sister listened to her words and was trying to resolve her worries, she was also happy.
“Come, help me make some pancakes, the children will be back for dinner soon.”
Lin Mei lit the fire for her as Lin Lan started on the pancakes.
Lin Mei, “Seeing how clumsy you still are, I know you have not been replaced.”
Lin Lan, you already lost me, just be happy that I was observant.
(T/N: This makes me kind of sad to be honest, the fact that the original Lin Lan actually died but no one noticed even up until now)
When it was almost done, Lin Lan told her not to add anything else and just leave it to simmer, “Come on, let’s go and see your son.”
She closed the door without locking it and took Lin Mei to the northern part of the West River where the children were.
