After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

Chapter 190 Going home for the New Year

Ye Lian looked ahead and saw two figures, one in front of the other. Who else could they be but her youngest daughter and son?

She excitedly dropped the broom in her hand and ran towards them.

"Yuyao, Linping. Oh dear, you came back today, why didn't you even call to say hello?"

"Mom, we wanted to come back and give you a surprise."

"What's the surprise? Aren't you tired carrying all this stuff back?"

"Yuyao, put it down quickly, let your mother take it."

Lin Ping: "Mom, she only has one pack, and I have two. Why didn't you say you'd get me one?"

"Aren't you carrying a bag? How will you get there if I take just one bag?"

"Can't I just carry it? I'm exhausted."

“You’re exhausted carrying such a small load. You’re nowhere near as strong as your older brother. He works in the coal mines, and every load he carries is heavier than yours. A young man like you can’t handle this much strength. You need to practice more.”

He originally wanted his mother to be more lenient with him, but instead he got a lecture and was told to practice more.

Honestly, it would have been better not to say anything.

My father and eldest brother were both at home. The house was decorated with red "double happiness" paper-cut window decorations, creating a joyful atmosphere.

"Yuyao." Lin Dawei's eyes reddened as he looked at his only daughter, examining her from head to toe, before smiling through his red eyes.

"She's gained weight and looks prettier, so it seems she didn't suffer any losses."

Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "I told you I didn't suffer any loss, but you didn't believe me. You had to see it for yourselves."

"That's right, you're the kind of child who likes to only report good news and not bad news. How am I supposed to know if you're lying to me?"

Lin Yuyao turned to look at her older brother beside her. He was getting married and had a happy expression on his face. He was also very clean.

My older brother works in the coal mines every day, so he's always covered in black soot. It's rare to see him clean.

"Brother, congratulations."

Lin Gang smiled and said, "After I get married, my parents can keep an eye on you. It's good that you broke off your engagement with Lu Jiangting. Your older brother will introduce you to an honest man later."

Lin Ping chimed in, "I don't need you to introduce me, it's my sister..."

Lin Yuyao glared at him, and he changed his mind, saying, "I'll introduce my sister's boyfriend."

"The kids you're introducing are all little brats."

“I didn’t say I was going to introduce my younger brother. I can introduce my senior. I can introduce someone who is a few years ahead of me and a few years older than my sister.”

"Alright, alright, then let you introduce it."

Back inside, Lin Yuyao took out the items one by one.

The watch I gave to my mother made her happy but also heartbroken.

"This thing isn't cheap, it must cost several hundred yuan, right? Yuyao, it's good to make money, but you still need to be frugal."

"Mom, a watch can last for many years."

She thinks it's worth it because she can use it for many years before she can change her phone.

"This razor must be expensive, right?"

"This isn't expensive, it's only twenty yuan."

"Twenty? That's not expensive. I can buy a box myself for just a few cents."

Lin Ping said irritably, "Dad, that's a razor blade. You might accidentally cut yourself on the face. The razor my sister bought you is safe."

"what is this?"

Electric blanket.

"Huh? The one that makes the blankets warm when you plug it in?"

"Yes."

"This isn't cheap, is it? Hey, why did you buy two?"

"Yes, one bed for my parents, and the other one is a wedding gift for my older brother and sister-in-law."

Ye Lian laughed and said, "You little rascal, you're quite thoughtful. But this thing probably isn't cheap, is it?"

"This isn't expensive, buy one get one free, it's only fifty yuan."

"Fifty yuan is not a small amount. Some people in the village might not even earn fifty yuan a month carrying bricks for others."

"Then you have to check the items. Two beds, it's worth it."

“It’s worth it,” Ye Lian sighed. “Yu Yao, I know you’ve made some money, but you should be more frugal. Look at all the things you bought, they must have cost several hundred yuan.”

Lin Yuyao choked, "It wasn't much, and I didn't pay for this electric blanket."

She blurted it out, then immediately regretted it.

Then, the whole family stared at her.

Lin Yuyao got stuck.

Seeing that she remained silent for a while, Ye Lian asked, "Who bought it?"

"A friend bought it on his way."

"What kind of friend would buy you two electric blankets on the side and not charge you?"

Lin Yuyao: “…”

She stammered and couldn't say anything; it was too sudden, and she hadn't even thought about how to tell her family.

Seeing that she wouldn't speak, they looked at Lin Ping again, "Who is this friend she's talking about? Male or female?"

"I didn't know. I just found out that the electric blanket was a gift from someone."

That's a month's salary! These days, nobody's rich, so what friend would give such an expensive gift?

Seeing her daughter's blushing face, Ye Lian tentatively asked, "Are you dating someone?"

Lin Yuyao: “…”

Everyone in the room gasped.

"Really?" Lin Dawei asked, "Yuyao, are you really dating someone?"

Under the watchful eyes of the whole family, Lin Yuyao nodded gently, "Yes, he said this is a gift from him to you."

Wow! So this was a gift from my future son-in-law?

Upon hearing her words, Lin Dawei and his wife quickly took out the electric blanket they had put away.

The two looked at it and touched it, nodding repeatedly as they did so.

"Is this probably made of wool?"

"I think so."

"Tsk tsk, look at this pattern, what kind of flower is this? It's so beautiful."

"Peony flower".

"Wow, such big peony flowers, so beautiful. My daughter's boyfriend has such good taste."

"Yes, young man, you have a good eye. These peonies are truly festive."

The two of them spent a long time praising Lin Yuyao's boyfriend under the electric blanket, then turned to Lin Yuyao and asked, "Where is the young man from?"

Oh no, where is he from again? She didn't even ask.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "He bought a house in Nancheng and works there. If nothing unexpected happens, he will probably settle down in Nancheng."

"A person from the south of the city? That's... a bit far."

Lin Ping said, "It's not far. If nothing unexpected happens, I will settle down in Nancheng in the future. My elder brother and sister-in-law will also go to Nancheng to work, and our whole family will settle down in Nancheng."

"What? You silly boy, what nonsense are you spouting? A few words from you and our whole family has to move."

"Exactly, our land is here. Where can we move to? If we all leave, who will farm this land?"

"Oh dear, what era are we living in? Why are you still fixated on your tiny plot of land? With just a few plots of land, how much money can you possibly make after working all year round? You'd be lucky if you didn't starve to death."

"That's not how it works. You guys were all raised on these plots of land."

"That was in the past. Now that everything is open, people's pursuit is no longer just about making a living; they have begun to pursue spiritual nourishment."

"What the heck? Spiritual nourishment?"

"Of course there are. For example, you can spend money to watch movies, go to disco, buy books and novels. You can earn more than farming. If you want to keep working yourself to death on this small plot of land, you're just being foolish."

"Pah! You little brat, you haven't even finished pooping your sweet potato poop, and you're already complaining about farming."
