Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 737 - 736: Tears of Joy!
Chapter 737: Chapter 736: Tears of Joy!
Over the next three days, Lin Chun and the others had a great time touring the provincial city.
Although Lin Xia was pregnant and slightly cumbersome, she was still quite agile when she walked.
After some interaction, Lin Xia grew fond of her future sister-in-law, and Lin Dong also spoke highly of her.
Gu Chengya also had a good impression of them, and everyone got along in a relaxed and enjoyable manner.
Three days later, Lin Chun, along with his girlfriend Gu Chengya, left first.
Gu Chengya had nothing particular to do over the summer break, whereas Lin Chun had to continue working.
Lin Chun had already taken leave from work, and it wasn’t good to keep delaying longer.
He planned to take another leave when Lin Xia was giving birth, to come over and visit again.
After sending them off, Lin Qiu stayed behind to keep Lin Xia and Lin Dong company.
The three siblings hadn’t lived together like this in a long time, and everyone was very happy.
As siblings grow older and each has their own life, it becomes increasingly difficult to gather like this.
Lin Xia felt fortunate that Lin Qiu had not yet married and Lin Dong was still in school.
This allowed them the opportunity to gather together, enjoying delicious meals and leisurely strolls.
In a few days, it would be August, but Lu Zheng had not returned even once during this time.
Not only Shao Chengzhi and Shao Meirou often mentioned this, but Lin Qiu and Lin Dong also kept an eye on it from time to time.
Lin Xia knew Lu Zheng was busy; he definitely couldn’t get away, otherwise, he would have rushed back to see her.
Lu Zheng also repeatedly apologized over the phone, expressing his guilt about not being able to come back.
"Wife! Once I’m done with this busy period, I’ll definitely come to see you!" ƒгeewebnovёl.com
If he weren’t so busy, he would do anything to return and spend more time with his wife and their unborn child.
But he was about to be transferred from here, and he needed to hold his post especially now at such a critical moment.
Lin Xia understood, but she couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed.
Her due date was in mid to late August, and she worried that Lu Zheng might not be back when she was giving birth.
"Lu Zheng! We’ve made a promise! You must come back then! I hope you will be by my side when I give birth, otherwise, I’ll feel insecure and really scared!"
If it were normal times, Lin Xia would never express such thoughts.
Ever since her rebirth, she had become a strong individual, relying on no one else for the things she could manage on her own.
But her circumstances were different now; she had a husband and was pregnant with twins.
As the time for delivery approached, Lin Xia herself even noticed her own vulnerability and anxiety.
She was filled with love for the two children in her womb, but the thought of giving birth to them made her uncontrollably scared and nervous.
Nowadays, medical standards were not very high, and childbirth posed some risk to both the mother and the child.
She did not know how smoothly the childbirth would go, or if it might be dangerous.
She was living a very happy life now and truly wanted to grow old with Lu Zheng, accompanying their children as they grew up and witnessing the rapid development of the world.
She really looked forward to the day when the two lovely babies were a bit older, taking them to many places to experience the landscapes, rivers, and the local customs she had never seen before.
Lu Zheng, hearing the fear and concern in his wife’s voice, solemnly promised, "Don’t worry, Wife! I will definitely come back! I also want to see our children being born!"
"Okay! Then we’ll wait for your return!" Lin Xia chatted with him for a while longer, reluctantly hanging up the phone.
True to his word, not long after the call, Lu Zheng returned to the provincial city in mid-August.
Lin Xia was overjoyed. As long as Lu Zheng was by her side, she felt like she was filled with energy, no longer feeling afraid or anxious.
Shao Meirou and the others vividly sensed this, and everyone smiled without saying a word.
At the dinner table, Lu Zheng also shared some good news with Lin Xia, he would report directly to an organization after Lin Xia gave birth.
Shao Chengzhi had known about it ahead of time, so he did not have much of a reaction.
Lin Qiu and Lin Dong, who had just heard about it, exchanged glances and felt that it was good for their brother-in-law to be transferred back.
Lin Xia had heard about this from Lu Zheng before, and she was actually very happy about him being able to transfer back.
Because Lu Zheng had explained to her the reasons he wanted to transfer back.
Aside from wanting to spend more time with Grandpa, allowing him to often see their children without any regrets.
It was also to provide their two children with the opportunity to receive a higher quality education in the future.
Moreover, he wanted Lin Xia to have the chance to do what she loved.
Lin Xia was moved by how well Lu Zheng understood her, even though she had not shared her inner thoughts and plans with him.
He could guess that her dream was not to be a housewife taking care of the elderly, husband, and children, but to achieve her own career and become a wealthy woman.
Only Shao Meirou, who was completely kept in the dark, felt tears welling up in her eyes in an instant.
She had once greatly hoped for a lively household and immensely envied families who could often be together. She had not expected it to finally be about to come true.
With Lu Pengcheng’s upcoming retirement and return, their family would finally be reunited and could live harmoniously together.
"Xiaozheng! Mom is so happy! Your dad is about to retire and come back too! Our family can finally be reunited!"
"Mom! Wipe your tears!" Lu Zheng pulled out a light grey handkerchief and handed it to Shao Meirou.
Seeing his mother cry, Lu Zheng was also deeply moved.
It seemed that ever since he could remember, his parents had respected each other and rarely quarreled.
His father was often away from home all year round and rarely came back. Even when he did, it was hard for Lu Zheng to see them being as affectionate as his classmates’ parents.
The younger him had chosen to work farther from home merely to escape the cold and stifling household.
But now that he was a husband and soon to be a father, he really understood and learned a lot...
Lin Xia held his hand under the table, feeling a strong sense of empathy.
With a tearful smile, Shao Meirou gently dabbed at the corners of her eyes.
Shao Chengzhi laughed heartily, "Meirou! With Pengcheng retiring, Xiaozheng transferring back, and Lin Xia about to have a baby, these are all great joys for our family! Are you crying tears of joy? Wipe them away, don’t cry, lest the younger ones tease you!"
"Dad! I am crying tears of joy! Aren’t you going to let me express my overwhelming emotions?
Mr. Liao always said, when you see someone crying, never stop them and say not to cry.
If you suppress those emotions, it can cause health problems!"
"Alright, alright! Dad misspoke!" Shao Chengzhi bustled happily, "Lin Qiu! Lin Dong! Hurry up and eat, the food is getting cold!"
Everyone laughed and talked, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became lively again.
That same evening, when Lin Xia went to the bathroom, she noticed a spot of red on the tissue...
