Lin Wan didn’t know what Chen Haichang was up to, but she knew it wouldn’t be anything detrintal to them; however, as for Mr. i, that was hard to say.
No one really knew what he was planning to do.
...
After originally lighting the stove, Lin Wan boiled a kettle of hot water, planning to clean the room. But now her mom was here.
She wouldn’t let her bend over or do any high-reaching chores. However, wiping the table is still fine. Little Star also grabbed a cloth to help her wipe the table.
By the ti Han Yi returned, they had already cleaned the house pretty well.
"We bought so many things!" Liang Qian saw Han Yi unloading a car full of stuff and asked in surprise.
"It’s not that much. Just bought so pots, bowls, plates. Also got a gas canister for easier cooking."
Liang Qian looked at the things in the car; they weren’t just those, but buying so rice and flour seed necessary. All these purchases must have cost around forty or fifty bucks.
After arranging these items, it was already late. Han Yi didn’t let Aunt Er cook. He went out and returned with a few bowls of noodle soup. They made do with that.
After eating, Liang Qian told them a few things and was ready to leave. Lin Wan was worried about her returning alone, with the snow outside not yet lting. Lin Wan asked Han Yi to drive Mom ho.
She stayed at ho with Little Star to tidy up further.
Han Yi took Mom to the doorway, intending to drive back. Unexpectedly, he encountered Old Mr. i and Chen Haichang coming from outside.
Chen Haichang greeted him with a smile, "Heard you were injured, how’s that? Feeling better now?"
Han Yi nodded and got out of the car.
Old Mr. i looked at him and said, "Why not return ho since you’re discharged? Heard Xiao Wan and Little Star are here too; co ho tonight. Everyone’s here, let’s have a family dinner."
"Nephew, co on ho, let’s have dinner together tonight," Chen Haichang smiled and patted Han Yi’s shoulder.
Han Yi lowered his eyes and hesitated, then nodded. He greeted Liang Qian and directly drove off, not even glancing at Old Mr. i.
At that mont, i Erqing’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
But Chen Haichang cheerfully swaggered into the courtyard.
After Han Yi left, Lin Wan and Little Star stayed at ho for a while. Finding it boring, they went for a walk to the door and discovered a bookstore at the street corner.
Mother and daughter exchanged smiles, quickly chose a few books they liked, and returned ho.
Little Star picked out several children’s storybooks.
After returning, Little Star pulled Lin Wan to tell her stories.
"Mom, Mom, look, isn’t this shiny thing on here just like mine?"
Lin Wan looked at the diamond in the picture, frowned, and slapped her forehead in regret. Little Star had once shown her this, she never imagined such an expensive thing would appear in a flowerpot. She hadn’t thought in that direction at all.
"Xingxing, did you really give your Shiniliangliang to Hua Hua?"
"Yeah," Xingxing nodded and suddenly pouted, saying, "But Hua Hua’s mom is so bad, she even snatches things from kids. Just because she liked it, she took away the Shiniliangliang I gave to Hua Hua."
"Taken away? By Hua Hua’s mom?" Lin Wan murmured to herself, worried that Ye Qing might know the value of the item.
Lin Wan’s eyebrows were knitted almost into a Sichuan character.
"Xingxing, if Hua Hua or Hua Hua’s mom ever asks you where you found it, just say it was discovered on the first floor, you got it?"
"Mom, why?" She originally wanted to tell Hua Hua, then they would have lots of Shiniliangliangs and no one would give them away.
"You know, if you tell, Hua Hua’s mom will surely ask Hua Hua, think about it, Hua Hua is still young and won’t be able to resist his mom’s questioning. When he tells, your Shiniliangliang might be taken by Hua Hua’s mom, then you really won’t find other Shiniliangliangs as pretty as that one."
"Oh..." Little Star nodded with partial understanding, "Mom, I got it. Tomorrow when we go to Great Grandma’s house, let’s look for more, okay? Yesterday I was at ho, didn’t have ti to go upstairs."
"Alright."
"What are you two planning? What are you looking for?" Han Yi asked, hearing the mother and daughter chatting and laughing at ho as he returned.
"Dad, I’m telling Mom that we’ll go to Great Grandma’s to find Shiniliangliang. Look, the Shiniliangliang I had last ti is just like this!" Little Star said eagerly as she showed her dad the storybook with the diamond.
"A diamond? The glass shard Xingxing ntioned last ti?" Han Yi looked at Lin Wan, puzzled.
