Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

We had Shandong cuisine at Dongxing Building for dinner.

Speaking of food, the taste in Hong Kong is quite different from that in Beijing.

But Lin Si seemed to like the taste in Beijing very much. He ate a big bowl of rice and almost choked.

In the car.

"Dad, can we come to eat tomorrow?" Lin Si said with his head tilted up.

"There are eight big buildings in Beijing, this is nothing." Lin Shaowen laughed softly, "If you like, I will take you around all eight buildings."

"Really?" Lin Si said excitedly.

"Since you like to eat so much, you can be a gourmet in the future and try all the Chinese food." Lin Shaowen joked.

"Gourmet?"

Lin Si's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Although he didn't know what a gourmet was, hearing that he could try all the Chinese food was enough to make him excited.

"No." Lou Xiao'e said with a straight face, "Lin Si will have to take over Lin's Pharmaceuticals in the future, and can't be a gourmet."

Lin Si seemed to be deflated and kept silent.

"Lou Xiao'e, I have to say a few words to you now." Lin Shaowen said casually, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, why do you care so much? It's enough for him to do what he wants to do in his life."

"You... hum."

Lou Xiao'e didn't want to argue with him.

Lin Shaowen didn't bother to pay attention to her, just talking to Lin Si about various Chinese delicacies.

After a while.

After arriving at the Lou's Mansion, Lin Shaowen was about to go back to the courtyard to tell Qin Huairu and the others, but he didn't expect Qin Huairu to be sitting on the steps, with a delicate little girl beside her.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Shaowen hurriedly got out of the car, hugged Qin Yue, and kissed her pink face hard.

"Godfather."

Qin Yue shouted happily.

"Xiao'e."

Qin Huairu was a little nervous when she saw Lou Xiao'e.

"Sister Qin."

Lou Xiao'e took her hand and smiled, "Why are you sitting outside? Let's go in and talk."

"Hey."

Qin Huairu agreed, but followed Lin Shaowen.

"Dad, who is she?"

Lin Si pulled the corner of Lin Shaowen's clothes.

"Lin Yue, your sister." Lou Xiao'e's voice came from inside the house.

"Lin Yue?"

Lin Si tilted his head and looked at Qin Yue, who also looked at him curiously.

In the living room.

After Lou Xiao'e brought two cups of hot tea, she waved to Lin Si, "Take your sister to play, I have something to say to your aunt Qin..."

"Yeah."

Lin Si agreed and held out his hand to Qin Yue.

Qin Yue was not afraid of strangers, so she held his hand and went to the room with him.

The three of them fell into silence.

Lin Shaowen took a sip from the teacup and said awkwardly, "Just say whatever you want to say. We are all acquaintances. There is no need to negotiate..."

"Hmph."

Lou Xiao'e said coquettishly, looking at Qin Huairu, "Sister Qin, since Lin Yue is Shaowen's child, I will naturally recognize her, so I plan to take her to Hong Kong for education..."

"But..."

"No buts." Lou Xiao'e said rather forcefully, "Lin Yue is a member of our Lin family, so she must recognize her ancestry. It is better than having the title of 'Qin Yue', right? If she stays here, she can only call Shaowen her godfather for the rest of her life."

Qin Huairu lowered her head.

Lou Xiao'e's words touched her heart. She also wanted Qin Yue to recognize her ancestry and follow Lin Shaowen's surname, instead of having the incongruous "Qin" and appearing as an illegitimate daughter when she grows up.

"I know what you are worried about, but I, Lou Xiao'e, am not so stingy." Lou Xiao'e said in a deep voice, "I have no daughter, so I will naturally raise Lin Yue as my own daughter. If we can come back in the future... she will be the eldest daughter of the Lin family."

"As for the assets under my name, she will also have the right to inherit them when she grows up."

This is already said very sincerely.

"Okay."

Although Qin Huairu was reluctant in her heart, she still nodded and agreed.

"These days, you can live here with her and let her get familiar with Lin Si." Lou Xiao'e breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao'e, thank you." Qin Huairu said gratefully.

"Yeah."

Lou Xiao'e nodded gently and looked at Lin Shaowen.

"Xiao'e, do you want to meet Jingru and Haitang?" Qin Huairu whispered.

"Gone." Lou Xiao'e shook her head and said, "They don't have any children, so there's nothing to say when they meet."

"I didn't realize you had this side." Lin Shaowen laughed dumbly, "Why? Without children... I'm not even worthy of meeting you?"

"If you don't have children, you're not considered a member of our family." Lou Xiao'e said seriously, "According to the old rituals, if you don't have any children, you can't even enter the ancestral temple."

"Hey, Lou Xiao'e, why did I findNow that you have been in Hong Kong for two years, your thoughts have become more conservative. What ancestral temples, what ancestral halls... We are all people living in the new era, don't try this. "Lin Shaowen said helplessly.

"Conservative?" Lou Xiao'e sneered, "Our Lin family is a famous family in Hong Kong... Even the governor has seen it."

Qin Huairu covered her mouth in surprise.

What Lou Xiao'e said was too shocking for her, a semi-illiterate.

She only understood the four words "famous family", and she didn't know what the governor was.

"You are really crazy."

Lin Shaowen smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"It's you who can't keep up with the times." Lou Xiao'e said seriously, "I wish you could have more children. Our business is developing very fast, and we will need manpower everywhere in the future... The foundation of a big family is not how much money it has, but the prosperity of its people. ”

In today's Hong Kong, almost all the big families are supported by a large family.

There are some who start their own business from scratch, but their development is always limited.

Qin Huairu's pretty face flushed immediately, and her original belief of not having children began to waver again.

"Lou Xiao'e, you have been in Hong Kong for a few years, and you have been poisoned by them." Lin Shaowen said unhappily, "We are just ordinary people, that's all."

"I can't explain it to you clearly."

Lou Xiao'e didn't want to argue with Lin Shaowen.

She really needed help, preferably a helper she trained herself.

Lin Si and Qin Yue only took twenty years to grow up, and she could wait.

"Then...then you might as well have another one." Qin Huairu suggested.

"That depends on whether someone is willing." Lou Xiao'e pouted, "He is very skilled in medicine. If he doesn't want a child, I will never get pregnant again in my life."

"Ah? "

Qin Huairu opened her eyes wide in surprise.

She had originally suspected that Lin Shaowen had used some tricks.

Before she told Lin Shaowen that she wanted a child, they had been together for more than a year without any movement. After she told Lin Shaowen that she wanted a child, she became pregnant within a month.

Could it be that Lin Shaowen's medical skills were really that high?

"Shao Wen, if you don't want to go with me, I won't force you, but Lin Si still wants brothers and sisters." Lou Xiao'e softened her tone.

"Hey."

Lin Shaowen sighed.

He never understood what was the point of having so many children?

In his time, many women regarded not having children as a very glorious thing.
