After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Chapter 249 She and I

The fireworks and the first snow at the Shen residence lit up the sky of the entire Wushan Village. Seeing something interesting, several children from the village suddenly came into the yard.

They usually had a good time playing with Shen Wanyi, so when they saw fireworks, they all came over to play together.

Lin Ting, Ye Xiaoman and the others were also tired from playing, so they gave the remaining fireworks to the children.

Lin Ting also bought a lot of paper-cuts. Lin Lin, Ye Xiaoman and others went to learn how to make paper-cut window decorations with Yang Xiuxiu.

Lin Ting asked everyone to go into the hall first. She walked to the eaves and sat next to Wan Weiran. She turned around and saw a hint of melancholy between his brows.

"What's wrong? Are you homesick?"

Lin Lin was the only one who came here to celebrate the New Year with Lin Ting and the others, while Ye Xiaoman and Qi Hua stayed here because they had something to do.

But Wan Weiran obviously has family in the capital, so why did he stay here instead of spending such an important holiday with his family?

Looking at the fireworks set off by children in the sky, Wan Weiran seemed to be lost in memories.

"Master Lin, I also loved playing with fireworks when I was a child. I was in charge of setting them off, and my eldest brother was in charge of lighting them for me. We were just like these children, carefree."

Wan Weiran also has an older brother, but Lin Ting has never heard him mention him.

"You come from a family of doctors, so your eldest brother must be a very good doctor, right?"

Wan Weiran nodded without hesitation: "My eldest brother's medical talent is even better than my father's. He can even figure out some of the principles of acupuncture without any guidance.

If he met you, Master Lin, he would definitely be more advanced in learning acupuncture than me, but..."

Lin Ting: "Just what?"

Speaking of this, Wan Weiran's eyes were red and tears welled up.

"My eldest brother passed away. He was murdered."

Wan Weiran knew very well why his father drove him out to survive on his own. He just didn't want to follow in his elder brother's footsteps.

It was also to preserve a bloodline for their family, and his father did not let him return to the capital to celebrate the New Year this year, also to protect him.

Lin Ting patted Wan Weiran on the shoulder and comforted him: "The dead are gone, we should look forward."

Wan Weiran knew the truth. He nodded at Lin Ting. The things in his family were too complicated.

"Let's not talk about my business anymore, Xiaobao, leave me some fireworks..."

Wan Weiran stood up and went to grab fireworks with a bunch of other kids. If Lin Ting hadn't noticed him, no one would have noticed that he was not as happy as he appeared.

The backyard of the county government!

At the dinner table, only Madam Qu and Qu Yuanxun sat there without any appetite. There was a table full of delicious food, but the two of them could not eat many bites.

The entire hall was so quiet that you could almost hear a pin drop.

"Yuanxun, there are so many dishes, eat two more bites!"

Old Madam Qu put a piece of fish into Qu Yuanxun's bowl, and the words between mother and son became less and less.

"Thank you, mother!"

Qu Yuanxun took a small bite and put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"Mom, I'm full. Please take your time eating!"

He did not leave the table, but sat upright to accompany Madam Qu.

Seeing that Qu Yuanxun didn't want to eat anymore, Mrs. Qu also lost her appetite. She put down her bowl and chopsticks, picked up the hot water bottle beside her and held it in her hand.

"Yuanxun, go to Wushan Village. It's already this late, and I'm sure Lin Lin and the others will be back soon. The road is difficult at night, so go pick her up."

Upon hearing this, Qu Yuanxun's former spirit returned to him, and his dull eyes suddenly became shiny.

"Can I...can I, Mother?"

Madam Qu smiled and nodded: "Go ahead, your business will depend on your own ability."

Qu Yuanxun stood up and took his outer robe, his face full of smiles: "Thank you, mother. I will go now."

"Go!"

Qu Yuanxun walked quickly, asked the coachman to prepare the carriage, lit a lamp, and headed to Wushan Village happily.

Xiaoju looked at Qu Yuanxun's departing back, and came forward to support Mrs. Qu with heartache.

"Madam, today is New Year's Eve. Are you really going to let Master Qu go?"

The family should have been reunited today, but because of a small conflict, the old lady and Mr. Qu became estranged.

"Just leave. It's not a good thing to keep going like this. Lin Lin is also very good, but our Qu family is not good. We are destined not to have heirs."

Rather than wanting a grandson, Old Lady Qu cared more about the child she gave birth to. If Lin Lin was not there, she was really afraid that Qu Yuanxun would be depressed again.

During this period, she has made a lot of psychological preparations and let it go. If there is no grandson, then there is no grandson. When the time comes, she will adopt a child and accept him.

Outside the Shen residence in Wushan Village, Lin Ting asked them to stay overnight at his home. They all had their own carriages and wanted to go back to their own place to get used to it.

"Xiao Man, Master Qi, the road is not easy to walk on at night. Why don't you stay home and leave after dinner tomorrow?"

Qi Hua was not used to living in the Shen residence with so many people. Anyway, if he took a carriage and walked fast, he would reach Wenzhu County in half an hour.

"Next time, Madam Lin. We all had a great time tonight. And thank you, uncle and aunt, for your hospitality."

Qi Hua is a handsome man who is also good at talking, which makes Yang Xiuxiu and Shen Dali smile all the time.

"Then be careful!"

Lin Ting sent them to the door. After they left, only Lin Lin and Wan Weiran were left by his side. It was a dark and windy night, so these two people probably wouldn't leave.

"Master Lin, please don't look at me. I have to go back to the clinic. As the saying goes, a nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own doghouse."

Lin Ting couldn't change Wan Weiran's decision, even though she really wanted people to stay and continue the lively party.

"Uncle Wan, are you really not going to stay and continue setting off fireworks with Xiaobao? We haven't finished setting off the fireworks at home yet!"

Wan Weiran bent down, pinched Shen Wanyi's little face, and spoke to her affectionately.

"This firework isn't powerful enough. When I return to the capital, I'll bring you the biggest and most beautiful fireworks.

If we put just one up there, we can light up the entire Wushan Village. That's what we call a big firework."

Shen Wanyi was already very excited just by imagining it: "Then Uncle Wan, you must not break your promise."

Wan Weiran: "A gentleman's word is as good as gold."

After watching her friends go back one by one, only Lin Lin was left.

"Sister is alone, you stay, I will accompany you tonight..."

Before Lin Lin could answer, a voice from the other end of the road answered for her.

"She's not alone, she still has me!"

Lin Ting turned around and saw Qu Yuanxun impatiently getting off the carriage and running towards him.

"Master Qu, aren't you accompanying Old Madam Qu?"

Lin Ting also invited Qu Yuanxun and Mrs. Qu to the New Year's Eve dinner, but they were a family and preferred to spend the New Year at home.

Qu Yuanxun nodded to Lin Ting, and then said to Lin Lin.

"Lin Lin, do you want to go back to Wenzhu County or stay here?"

Qu Yuanxun had made up his mind. No matter where Lin Lin spent the New Year, he wanted to be with her and let her know his determination.
