"Isnât it so, before you came this time, Captain Han took half a dayâs leave by himself and started washing by the pool. Everyone in the courtyard saw it. He washed all the sheets and pillow covers, and even aired the quilt for several days. Just a few days ago, I heard from Guihua that itâs Captain Han who cooks every morning."
Lin Wan watched the two sisters-in-law smiling and chiming in about these things, feeling a bit embarrassed. Han Yi indeed was cooking every morning these days, but their family always kept the door closed. How did Wang Guihua know?
"Xiao Wan, tell us, is Han Yi like this at home usually?" Sister-in-law Zhang wasnât afraid of making Lin Wan angry, and directly asked, quite gossipy.
Lin Wan nodded brightly towards the two sisters-in-law. Her husband doting on her was a good thing; she never hid it.
"Oh my, you really picked a treasure."
"What Sister-in-law said is right. Marrying Han Yi was really picking up a treasure. Speaking of which, I had good taste; I liked him the first time I saw him."
"Tell us where you met him?"
Lin Wan shyly smiled, willing to talk but quickly changed the topic.
"Whereâs Pidan?"
"Heâs playing crazily with the kids in the courtyard, donât worry about him."
"Pidan isnât young anymore, Sister-in-law hasnât thought about having another one?"
Upon mentioning this, Zhang Cuiping smiled and said, "Life has been stressful these years, plus Pidan is still young, we never thought about it. And itâs just this year things have gotten slightly better. I discussed with your Brother Huang, and after this winter, weâll have another one."
Lin Wan furrowed her brows inwardly, but she kept a relaxed face and joked, "Since you want to, hurry up and get one, why set so many conditions?"
"We canât give up work, weâre thinking of saving up money for a year, itâs not too late to have one then." Zhang Cuiping didnât understand Lin Wanâs kind intentions and wasnât mindful of it.
This matter, the couple had discussed it several times. They had made their plans.
"Better have one while youâre young, itâs easy to harm the body when youâre older. Look at me, I hurt my health when I had my first son and didnât recover well. I had to wait five or six years before having my second son. They have an elementary school gap between them, and sending them to school every day is quite a hassle." Jiang Ailian was experienced, having two children and plenty of parenting wisdom.
Isnât that the truth, I just sent the first son for five years, heâs about to enter middle school and can stay in the dormitory, making things easier. Meanwhile, the second son is just starting school. Parents have dealt with elementary schools for more than ten years. "I heard that the population in our area has seriously exceeded limits, and higher-ups might control it. Maybe someday they wonât allow second and third children. If you want, hurry up and have one," Lin Wan feigned surprise.
"Even having children is controlled from above?" Zhang Cuiping had never heard of this, finding it very peculiar.
"Ah... isnât it so?"
"No way," Jiang Ailian thought it impossible too.
"Better safe than sorry, what if..."
Lin Wan saw Sister-in-law Zhang unmoved, also knowing itâs inappropriate to forcibly urge someone to have children.
"This..."
"Is Sister-in-law Lin home?"
While Zhang Cuiping was hesitating, someone knocked on the door outside.
Lin Wan quickly went to open the door, unexpectedly seeing Sun Yu coming over.
"Sister-in-law is home, you came during the holiday, why didnât you come to play with me?" Sun Yuâs attitude was completely different from last time at the cafeteria car, so warm, making Lin Wan somewhat puzzled.
"Sister-in-law Jiang and Sister-in-law Zhang are also here."
"Sun, are you here for a visit?"
