Chapter 627 Doing bad things and running into you
Lin Chang'er's main approach was to elicit responses from every word and maximize emotional value. She took Madam Chen's arm and said, "That's easy. Since you're here today, why don't you just spend the Lantern Festival here before going back?"
Madam Chen laughed heartily, "That won't do. Although we are a small family, we still have some dignity. We always have a few relatives to visit during holidays, don't we?"
Lin Chang'er retorted, "My silly sister-in-law, aren't all the New Year's gifts given before the New Year? After the New Year, it's just visiting one family's banquet and another's tea party. You haven't even finished your work before the New Year, and you still want to make up for it after the New Year?"
He leaned his head closer to her ear. "Besides, I asked you to stay, not my cousin. Going out to a banquet is something men usually enjoy, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Chen realized that this was not the case. However, staying for a few days was fine, but staying until the Lantern Festival was absolutely out of the question.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll go back after the third year of junior high."
Lin Chang'er pouted, "Look, they're complaining that I'm not taking good enough care of them, but they're not giving me a chance to take care of them either."
Madam Chen laughed even harder, but apologized, "It was my fault for saying the wrong thing, sister-in-law?"
Thinking of something, he looked around and asked her in a low voice, "Is there any news from Zhao'er?"
Lin Chang'er shook her head, "We should have reached the border by now. The people traveling with us are all our own people, and Chen Zhao knows them all. Once we get there, someone will meet us. Sister-in-law, don't worry too much. It's just that it's the end of the year, so I won't be able to spend the New Year with you and my cousin."
Madam Chen waved her hand and suddenly sighed, "Zhao'er has been spoiled by my father and brothers since he was a child. He has no talent for studying. I never thought he would become outstanding. I donated money to send him to the academy, just so that he could get to know more talented young people. If he encounters any trouble after we pass away, someone can help him."
As she spoke, her eyes reddened, and Lin Chang'er quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to her.
Madam Chen took it, covered the corner of her eye, and smiled again, "Who would have thought that this kid would actually have some luck, running into you when he's doing something bad."
"Honestly, even though we're not family, your sister-in-law and cousin are still very grateful to you."
“You don’t mind that he’s slow-witted or noisy. You always think of him when there are new and interesting opportunities, encouraging him to explore what he likes and gradually cultivate his talents.”
“Teach him the principles of life and how to conduct himself. Now that you're willing to let him go along with this kind of thing, I know you want him to have a good experience.”
“Once he comes back this time, your sister-in-law and cousin won’t have to worry about his future anymore.”
Soldiers are known for their loyalty and righteousness. They even let him go along on such a good deed as delivering supplies. The Zhenbei Army on the border is the most powerful army in the entire dynasty.
"My great-uncle said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. These past few months of experience have broadened his horizons and mindset considerably."
"His studies have improved a lot since he was at Yunhai Academy. Although he is my son, to be honest, your cousin and I have not given him as much guidance as you have."
"So even if your great-uncle doesn't acknowledge you as his daughter, I still want to acknowledge you as my sister."
"You must have heard about my family situation. I have eight older brothers and only one younger sister. Because of this, they tend to favor Zhao'er. If they had known that Zhao'er would have a sister like you, they would have made a fuss about coming to thank you, but I kept quiet. This time, my father insisted that I bring a visiting card, saying that he wants to pay a visit in person. You must give your sister-in-law this face..."
