Chapter 365: Chapter 364: New Friend (2)
Lin Wan pulled a big cabbage for Shi Lan and took one for herself. Looking at the dozen or so cabbages and radishes. If she stayed here every day, she could finish these in a week or two. But she wasn’t here often. Lin Wan thought she might as well let Sister-in-law Zhang know so she could make some pickled vegetables. Lin Wan and Shi Lan went back together. After putting the cabbage at home, Lin Wan began to pack her things.
She was just thinking about going to Sister-in-law Zhang’s house to let her know, but then she remembered that the school starts today, and Sister-in-law Zhang should also be at work. She’s probably not at home at this time.
At noon, Lin Wan steamed some rice and fried some spicy and sour cabbage and soy sauce potatoes. Han Yi came back at noon and said the car was ready, and that he’d take her when he came back tonight.
"I won’t be back for dinner tonight, just make something for yourself. I’ll come to pick you up around eight."
"Alright."
In the afternoon, Lin Wan tidied up the house, washing what needed washing and changing what needed changing.
In the evening, Lin Wan made some egg fried rice with the leftover rice from noon. Around seven, Sister-in-law Zhang came over with two pounds of brown sugar, smiling, "Yesterday Han Yi told me you’re pregnant, but it was too late to come by. I went to work early this morning and only got to come over now. How are you feeling, any reactions?"
Lin Wan shook her head and smiled, "Other than not wanting meat due to the smell, everything’s fine. I just really like eating fish."
Zhang Cuiping laughed, "It was pouring rain yesterday, Han Yi was wearing rubber boots and a raincoat and brought me a bicycle, carrying two fish with him. Only when I asked did I find out he’d gone to the mountain stream to catch fish. I even asked him why he went in the rain, and then he told me about your pregnancy, saying you wanted grilled fish. Wow... Look at Han Yi caring for you so much, going to the mountains in the rain to catch fish for you."
"Ah, he went to the mountains? He... He told me he got them from the mess hall."
"He probably didn’t want you to worry, so he said that."
"He’s really something." Even though Lin Wan said this, her heart was aching for him. Her husband braved the rain to the mountains to catch fish for her.
What a good husband, but in her past life she did those things. She missed it entirely.
"I heard you’re going back tonight?"
"Mm, Han Yi will take me."
"It’s good to go back; everything is more convenient in the city. Remember to be careful these two months, don’t do heavy work, and don’t ride a bicycle, okay?" These things weren’t really her place to say, but she couldn’t help reminding her.
Lin Wan smiled and replied, "Mm, I know, Saozi."
Sister-in-law Zhang didn’t stay long either, Pidan was still at home.
At around eight, Han Yi came back, and the two of them carried their luggage towards the gate. Lin Wan thought it was just the two of them, but who knew there were two other people.
"Xiao Wan, let me introduce you. This is the company commander Wang Yuan, and this is Saozi, also surnamed Lin."
"Hello, Company Commander Wang. I’ve met Sister-in-law Lin."
"Hello, Lin."
"It’s really awkward to be called Sister-in-law Lin and Lin, my name is Lin Yuan, just call me by my name."
Lin Wan raised an eyebrow, surprised, "Your names as a couple are really interesting."
The company commander’s couple lowered their heads and smiled, "Everyone who hears our names says that."
"That’s fate, our names are similar too, haha."
With Lin Yuan’s laugh, the group became much closer, and Lin Wan found Lin Yuan wasn’t like Sun Yu at all.
Not sure how the two got along together.
"Let’s hurry and get in the car, aim to be home by nine."
Han Yi drove, Company Commander Wang sat in the passenger seat, and Lin Wan and Lin Yuan chatted in the back.
