My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 250 - 49 Going Home for the New Year_2

"I know, I’ll send it over," Shen Chi responded, each of his hands carrying a bulky luggage bag, yet he didn’t seem to struggle at all. Over the past six months, thanks to the auxiliary exercises from medicinal baths, he had not only regained his former condition but also improved greatly. His strength, especially, was incomparable to what it used to be.

The house that the Shen Family bought in the provincial capital was similar to their courtyard in the county city, although the yard was a little smaller, the house was bigger and both the decoration and furniture were new.

Once they arrived home, Luo Yufang busied herself pouring tea for them, while Shen Xiu took a bag out of the room and called Little Niangao over, "Little Niangao, come and see, this is the new clothing your aunt bought for you."

Little Niangao excitedly ran over, and Lin Xiaoguai followed to take a look, frowning immediately, "Xiu’er, these must have cost a lot of money, right?" These were definitely not bought from a clothing store or street stall outside.

"It’s okay, I have money on me, and I don’t really spend the salary from the hospital on anything," said Shen Xiu with a smile.

What she didn’t say was that she hadn’t originally planned to buy her nephew such nice clothes, but after she had gone to the street stalls and clothing stores outside, she felt that those clothes were far inferior to what her sister-in-law made. If she was going to buy new clothes for her nephew to wear for the New Year, they couldn’t be worse than what her sister-in-law had crafted, could they? Later, at the department store, she still found the styles somewhat unsatisfactory, but at least the quality was acceptable. She chose a simple-style cotton-padded jacket and trousers in a beautiful blue color. She didn’t buy shoes; instead, she made cotton-padded shoes herself, learning from grandma.

Despite feeling a pang at the two months’ salary spent, thinking of how well her brother and sister-in-law treated her, and knowing her little nephew only came back once a year, her mood settled down.

After dinner, Lin Xiaoguai’s family went to bed, and indeed, as grandma had said, the bedding was newly sunned. They slept until the break of dawn, almost unable to emerge from under the covers.

After spending two days at home, Lin Xiaoguai had wanted to visit Aunt and her family, but after a phone call, she found out that everyone had gone to the provincial city hospital, and both households were empty. Sister Li Qin from Brother Xiao’an’s family had just given birth, and both families were there.

Without any hesitation, she packed up and headed to the provincial city hospital.

At the nurses’ desk, Lin Xiaoguai inquired about Sister Li Qin’s ward and went up to the third floor carrying the fruits she had purchased.

"Little sister, when did you get back!?" As Lin Xiaoguai was about to knock on the door, it opened, and a worried Lin Xiao’an looked up and exclaimed in surprise.

"Just got back, I had planned to visit Aunt and the others, but after calling Fengyuan Village, the village folk said you were all at the hospital, so I hurried over," replied Lin Xiaoguai.

She looked at Brother Xiao’an’s troubled expression with concern, "Is Sister Li Qin not doing well?"

Lin Xiao’an was about to answer when someone from inside the room asked, "Xiao’an, who’s there?"

Lin Xiaoguai immediately recognized the voice as Second Aunt’s.

"Second Aunt, it’s me!" she called out eagerly.

"Wanwan?" Accompanied by footsteps, Zhou Fengqin appeared at the door, her face showing surprise, "When did you get back? Why didn’t you call? Come in, come in, don’t stand at the door."

With that, she pulled her into the ward.

"I just got back a couple of days ago." Once inside, Lin Xiaoguai first noticed Chen Liqin lying on the hospital bed, pale, and then saw the room brimming with members from both branches of the Lin Family.

"Uncle, Sister Xiao Hua, Sister Li Qin, Sister Hanfang, Jiaojiao," after greeting everyone, Lin Xiaoguai looked at Lin Jiaojiao with some surprise, "Jiaojiao, how do you have time to come here?" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Among several cousins, Lin Jiaojiao had the most difficult circumstances. Not only had her in-laws passed away early, but her husband had two younger siblings to support. If Brother Xiao’an hadn’t been exceptional in looks and character, and treasured Jiaojiao, Aunt would never have agreed to their marriage.

"Your brother-in-law was coming to the city to stock up, so I hitched a ride on his tricycle to come and see Sister Li Qin," Lin Jiaojiao was the plainest in looks among the sisters, appearing simple but lovely when she smiled, which was particularly comforting to people.

Lin Xiaoguai nodded, aware that her little brother had given all her sisters some money after earning some himself. Sister Yuanyuan’s family had taken over a fish pond, and despite some disputes due to favoritism from her parents-in-law and quarrels with sister-in-law, her life was relatively comfortable. Tingting had used the money to study garment drafting and had now found a high-paying job. Jiaojiao was the smartest, having opened a grocery store in the village with that money, and last year, even started a wholesale store in town, making her the most successful among the sisters. Sister Hao Hao, the most timid, had built a house in the countryside and started working at the tea factory that Brother Xiao Xi had recently contracted.

Her gaze turned towards the over-ten-year-old girl next to Jiaojiao, "This must be Lihua, right?"

"Say hi to your little aunt," instructed Lin Jiaojiao to her daughter.

"Hello, little aunt," Hao Lihua said, her temperament somewhat like her mother’s: gentle and mature, charming when she smiled.

Lin Xiaoguai took out a handful of White Rabbit Creamy Candies from her pocket and handed them to her, "Here, have some."

Lin Jiaojiao nodded at her daughter, who then smiled gratefully at Lin Xiaoguai and gladly accepted the candy.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Xiaoguai subconsciously started looking for the child, but couldn’t find them anywhere in the ward. Considering the expressions on everyone’s faces, her heart sank and she asked, "Where’s the child, why can’t I see them?" She hoped dearly that nothing was wrong.

The expressions of everyone in the room dimmed at the question, and Chen Liqin began to cry, covering her mouth.

"What exactly happened? The child didn’t...." Without any answers, Lin Xiaoguai grew anxious.

Suddenly, she realized, the provincial city was not close to the rural areas, and giving birth to a child wasn’t a serious illness; why didn’t they go to the county hospital instead of traveling such a distance?
