Chapter 89 Gift
Chapter 89 Gift
inside the house.
Lin Yan was taking out the things she had bought from the prefectural city: food, clothes, jewelry, books, which filled a whole table.
"I'll go call my parents!" Lin Yu excitedly ran out and called his parents into the house.
"What gift? Why the rush?" Lin's mother smiled gently, her hand being pulled forward by Lin Yu.
Lin's father followed behind, beaming with smiles.
The two were stunned when they saw the large table full of things in the room. "You bought so much stuff?!"
Mr. Lin picked up a crimson-colored top from the table, touched the fabric—smooth and delicate—and exclaimed, "This is a really nice piece of clothing!"
"Ah Yun, try this on quickly, this is your size!" Lin's father held up the clothes to Lin's mother.
The vibrant colors accentuated Lin's mother's gentle appearance.
Lin's mother liked it too; what woman doesn't like beautiful clothes and jewelry? "This fabric is really nice! But it must be very expensive!" They were currently building a house, and the expenses were too high; they were worried about running out of money later.
Lin Yan immediately noticed her mother's hesitation and quickly said, "Mother! Don't worry about money! We made a lot of money on our trip to the prefectural city. From now on, buy whatever you like, don't worry about saving money!"
"You made money? Didn't you go to the prefectural city for fun?" Lin's mother asked, puzzled.
"We've found a market for our plum wine in the prefectural city, so we can start selling it now!"
"That's wonderful!" Lin's mother was delighted. Their furniture business wasn't doing so well, and their dried fruit business was past its season, so they had stopped making it. She had been worried about what would happen next, but unexpectedly, the plum wine had also found a market.
Lin Yu complained, "Father and Mother, you don't know, my sister's wine is incredibly expensive!"
"How much?" Lin's father asked.
Lin Yu mysteriously held up one finger.
Looking at it, Lin's father guessed, "One hundred coins?"
"One tael of silver!"
"What?!" Lin's parents exclaimed in shock.
"How can this sell for one or two taels of silver?!" Lin's father had never drunk such expensive wine before and thought it was too exaggerated.
"But everyone who's tried it loves it. Many of them want more." Lin Yu didn't mention how many jars he and his sister had sold, otherwise his parents would definitely ask how the wine was transported.
"Are all the people in the prefectural city this rich?" Lin's father was questioning his life. He had only been to Rong'an County once, and he had never seen anyone spend money like this.
Lin Yan quickly changed the subject, "Dad, there are still clothes I bought for you. You and Mom should try them on! I'm not sure about the size, so I think I bought them a bit large. You two try them on first, and I'll take your measurements this time so they'll fit properly next time we go shopping."
Lin's father was indeed drawn in by Lin Yan's words. He scratched his head and grinned foolishly, "What about mine?"
Lin Yan took out a gray and indigo men's suit from the table and handed it to her father, "Dad, go and try it on!"
Then she took out the ginger-yellow women's dress and gave it to Lin's mother, saying, "This is yours, Mother!"
Lin's mother smiled happily, "I bought two!"
Lin's parents happily went inside to try on clothes, and Lin Yu took out his two outfits and excitedly went back inside as well, saying, "I want to wear them for Mom to see!"
Seeing that everyone had left to try on clothes, Lin Yan took out a round fan and a butterfly-shaped hairpin from the gifts for Li Xiaocao, went to the kitchen door, and waved to Li Xiaocao from the doorway.
"Little grass!"
When Li Xiaocao saw Lin Yan calling her, she walked over to her. "What's wrong, Yan?"
Lin Yan took out a gift and gave it to her, saying, "Look, I bought this when I went to the prefectural city. It's for you!"
Li Xiaocao's eyes lit up. "Wow! It's so exquisite!"
She held the hairpin in her hand, looking at it from left to right, and then picked up a round fan, admiring the lifelike little rabbit embroidery on it.
Li Xiaocao happily hugged Lin Yan's arm, her eyes crinkling, "Wow, Yan! Thank you! You even bought me a gift when you went to the capital!"
Lin Yan smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it. I'm so glad you're here; you've helped me a lot these past few days."
Li Xiaocao pouted, "What are you saying? You've helped me make a lot of money. My dad might not even earn that much in a year."
"Hey, Yan'er!" After changing her clothes, Lin's mother came out and found that Lin Yan was not in the room, so she called out to her.
“Your mother is calling you! You go ahead, I’m going to help Zhang Sao and the others!” Li Xiaocao said to Lin Yan.
"it is good."
When Lin Yan entered the room, her mother was turning around twice, admiring her new dress. When she saw Lin Yan come in, she smiled happily: "Yan, come and see, isn't it pretty!"
Since Lin Yan woke up, she had never seen her mother smile so happily, like a little girl.
Lin's father, standing to the side, grinned foolishly at Lin's mother, exclaiming, "Beautiful! Ah-Yun! Beautiful!"
In the past two months, after leaving the Lin family home, the Lin family members have been eating and drinking well, and there is not much farm work to do. They don't have to worry about breathing with the old lady Lin. Lin's mother is in much better condition, which reminds Lin's father of Lin's mother when they first got married.
Lin Yan smiled and said, "It looks good! Wear it like this from now on, and don't wear those drab gray clothes anymore!"
"Oh, right!" Lin Yan found the lotus-shaped silver hairpin she had bought for her mother on the table and put it in her mother's hair.
"It looks even better this way!"
Lin's mother smiled happily, holding the hairpin.
"Father, Mother! Elder sister! Look at me!" Lin Yu ran out wearing his moon-white embroidered carp-patterned clothes and called out to the others to show him.
Lin's mother looked at her son, who was full of energy and dressed in moon-white brocade, looking like a young master from a wealthy family. He was no longer as thin and weak as before. She was happy for a moment, but her eyes reddened as she felt like crying.
Lin's mother knelt down and helped Lin Yu examine him closely, exclaiming, "My Yu'er is so handsome!"
Lin Yan smiled gently, her eyes deep. Lin Yu was still a well-behaved younger brother. If she hadn't transmigrated, her mother might have already passed away from the grief of losing her daughter. Fortunately, none of that happened.
Lin's father chuckled, "This makes you look much more energetic!"
"Hey! Yan'er! Didn't you buy one for yourself?" Lin's father looked at Lin Yan, who was standing to the side smiling.
Lin Yan smiled and said, "I bought one too!"
"Sister looks beautiful in her new clothes!" Lin Yu said excitedly.
"Yan'er! Go try on your new clothes too, let your mother take a look!" Lin's mother stood up and looked at Lin Yan expectantly.
Lin Yan could only go back inside and put on that light blue dress. As soon as she came out, her mother's eyes lit up.
"Hey! This looks good!" All Lin's father knew today was to say it looked good, grinning foolishly.
Lin's mother looked at her daughter carefully, feeling even more bitter. Lin Yan was no longer as thin as before; her skin was fair and her temperament was elegant.
"My daughter is so beautiful!" After looking at her for a long time, Lin's mother finally said this with a smile. She was deeply moved and only hoped that she could continue to watch her children grow up healthy and happy, wearing beautiful clothes and doing what they loved.
Mr. Lin, however, wasn't in the mood for much; he was simply overjoyed. He praised this person and that person, and the room was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.
That evening, the four members of the Lin family dressed in new clothes and ate the food that Lin Yan had brought back from Yunweilou Restaurant in Fucheng. They were overjoyed.
