“Alright! i’ll do as you say! i’ll call Dad tomorrow and tell them if they really want to come over, they should just come!”

Li Jinwen nodded vigorously, her heart already bursting with joy.

On one hand were her parents who loved her deeply, and on the other, the man she loved deeply; the last thing she wanted was for relations between the two sides to grow stiff.

The lottery shop was in preparation, a car had been bought, and there was still

a considerable amount of savings in hand.

If her parents’ visit to Rakshasa City could help ease the relationship between them, that would, without a doubt, be a great thing for her.

After dinner, Li Jinwen was in high spirits, whistling while she washed the dishes, while Lin Mo, through mobile banking, transferred the remaining payment for the ginger shoots to the supplier.

Having checked over the past couple of days, the quality of the ginger shoots was indeed satisfactory, so there was no need to delay the payment.

All was ready; what remained was just to wait for the day when the wholesale and retail prices of the ginger shoots would rise.

With nothing much to do these two days, he could study the system, and make

a trip to Yuhang to finalize the affairs of the animation studio.

Wouldn’t want the studio to dissolve before he even got a chance to invest.

After finishing these tasks, Lin Mo thought of something and made a WeChat video call to his dad.

One part was to update him about the lottery shop, and the other was to tell him the news that Li Jinwen’s parents would soon be coming to Rakshasa City.

The video call connected swiftly.

In the screen appeared Lin Changshui’s face, brimming with smiles, apparently having a meal with several bottles of yellow wine by his side.

“Dad, why are you having dinner so late?” Lin Mo asked with concern.

“Today’s a good day, gathering with your uncles!” Lin Changshui said with a smile as he shifted the camera to show the other people at the dinner table.

They were all middle-aged men with simple attire and complexions either golden brown or dark, their smiles incredibly infectious.

“Lin! I’m your second uncle; remember me? I used to hold you when you were little!”

“Mo! What are you busy with now?”

“It’s been so many years since we last met, the kids have grown up so much!

Everyone took turns greeting Lin Mo.

Although they were called uncles, they weren’t really related; they were simply from the same village and shared a close bond.

“Mr. Zhou, Qiu, second brother…”

Lin Mo greeted his elders with a smile. After a quick count, there appeared to be more than a dozen people.

When the camera faced Lin Changshui again, Lin Mo asked curiously, “What’s the occasion today? You’ve all gathered so completely! Had I known, I would have come back too!”

“Haha, today is a good day indeed; the project payment is about to come through. It’s been approved by those in charge. Everyone’s happy, so we decided to have some drinks,” Lin Changshui said with a slightly flushed face, clearly having had quite a bit to drink, and he continued cheerfully, “In a few days, we’ll be able to collect the money, and everyone will be able to have a good New Year!”

Oh?

Lvkai Group has agreed to pay?

That’s certainly terrific news.

Makes sense too; such a big group wouldn’t need to hold back such a small sum

of wages for the workers.

I had been meaning to remind Dad not to get into a dispute with Lvkai Group, but now it seems I’ve been worrying over nothing.

Seeing his dad happy made Lin Mo feel good too. The unease in his heart finally settled, and he smiled, “Well, that’s great, everyone will have a good New Year once the money comes in.”

“By the way, Dad, there’s something I need to discuss with you.

“Jin Wen and 1 have opened a lottery shop, which will be done with renovations in a few days. It might be pretty busy, so I was wondering if 1 could trouble you and Mom to come over and help take care of Xiaoxiao, or help mind the store?”

Lin Mo didn’t actually expect to make money from the lottery shop; it was purely for obtaining system information.

But he really did want his parents to move in, so it would be easier to look after their health, considering both were advanced in age. Both parents had endured a lifetime of hardship and had not really enjoyed any good fortune.

Lin Changshui hesitated after hearing what was said. To be honest, he wanted to come, but he was afraid of causing trouble for his son.

Who wouldn’t want to enjoy the happiness of a family reunion?

But he knew very well that young people nowadays didn’t want to live with

their elders.

A short time together wouldn’t be a problem, but as time went on, he couldn’t guarantee his daughter-in-law wouldn’t have complaints.

“Dad, don’t worry. It was Jin Wen who brought up the idea of you two moving in,” Lin Mo explained, aware of what his father was worried about. “Besides, you wouldn’t want Xiaoxiao to be without someone to cook for her, would you?”

“The food outside isn’t clean; it’s always more reassuring to eat what’s made at home.”

“Don’t you think, Dad?”

After this conversation, Lin Changshui completely let go of his reservations. After all, he couldn’t let his precious granddaughter eat takeout every day!

-Well… okay! Once the money is in the account, I’ll bring your mom and move over!” Lin Changshui readily agreed and then said, “Xiaoxiao is growing; she can’t be eating just anything.”

“No matter how busy you two are, you must take good care of this responsibility!”

“The other day I passed by the community hospital, and you wouldn’t believe it, but the place was filled with sick children, something called mycoplasma or such.”

“The poor kids were getting infusions while still having to do homework… You’ve got to be careful these days!”

Lin Changshui usually spoke little, but perhaps because he was in a good mood today, coupled with the fact that he had been drinking, he became more talkative.

“Alright then, Dad, we’ll settle this matter. I’ll talk to Mom about it too,” Lin Mo said, switching his phone to his other ear as he continued, “Oh, right, there’s something else.”

“My in-laws might come to Rakshasa City to visit us in the next few days, and we’ll all get together for a meal.”

“Also, the 400,000 you gave me, 1 withdrew it all and invested in some ginger shoots.”

Lin Changshui was not concerned about money.

Or as his mother, Xu Qin, would say, he spent his entire life earning money for others and hardly used much for himself.

He just saved money and never asked how it was spent after giving it to his children.

“Do whatever you like, we can all earn again if it runs out.

The news about his in-laws visiting Rakshasa City, however, was a bigger deal for him!

“Oh, investing can be risky. Just be careful,” Lin Changshui didn’t inquire about the details of the investment, but quickly and earnestly advised, “Your in-laws are very kind people. To be honest, our family really married up.”

“When they come to Rakshasa City, you must…

By the time Li Jinwen returned to the bedroom, Lin Changshui was still busy giving instructions about the details of receiving their guests.

Which restaurants should be nicer ones, the meals should have half local dishes and half hometown dishes, they should clarify his in-laws’ tastes, and they absolutely should go to the train station to meet them in advance… To the uninformed, it might seem like preparation to welcome a Retired

Emperor.

Li Jinwen couldn’t listen any longer and chuckled, “Dad, don’t worry. My parents aren’t the type to fuss about appearances. Just relax, Lin Mo will take care of everything!”

“You two also tidy up at home these next few days. Once you’re done with things there, you can move over here. I’ll look for houses these next few days since we’re also planning to move.”

With a loving father and filial son, and a sensible daughter-in-law, all three faces were filled with smiles. Their conversation grew longer, and it was only after Lin Changshui’s colleagues urged him several times that he reluctantly ended the call.

Lin Mo stretched lazily, comfortably lying in bed, planning to check his phone for any unread messages, when Li Jinwen sitting next to him hesitated for quite a while before speaking up, “Husband…”

“You might become a father again…”
