Chapter 586 My Two Children
"Huh?" Lin Chang'er was taken aback. Why are the two little ones here?
He agreed, but worried that he might fall while running too fast, he added, "Run slowly."
The brother and sister must have heard it, but they didn't slow down until they arrived in front of Lin Chang'er.
Lin Chang'er reached out and touched the two children's heads. Clearly, she had left in a hurry, as both of the little ones had sweat on their foreheads.
Lin Chang'er took out a handkerchief and wiped her face as she asked, "Why are you running so fast? Is it urgent for you to see your mother?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaolu tugged at her brother's sleeve, feeling a little guilty.
The little goldfish stepped forward to shield her younger sister behind her, and looked at Lin Chang'er, saying, "Are Mother and Madam going to see the Princess?"
The generational hierarchy was rather confusing, but Lin Chang'er didn't bother to sort it out. She nodded and said, "Yes! What's wrong?"
Gu Xiaolu poked her head out from behind the goldfish, "Mother, Xiaolu and brother also want to see the Princess."
Lin Chang'er said "Oh," and said with a smile that the two little ones were just going to join in the fun, "Okay, then let's go together!"
She reached out her hand to the two little ones, and the brother and sister took her hand on each side.
Madam Huo teased from the side, "Look at how sensible these two siblings are, Feng'er is going to be very lucky in the future."
Lin Chang'er was not a woman of this era, so upon hearing this, she naturally did not feel ashamed. Instead, she smiled and said, "This good fortune is not without reason. In just the past six months, he has put in a lot of effort."
Seeing her like this, Madam Huo became even more carefree. "Well, we can't expect the previous generation to plant the trees so that the next generation can enjoy the shade. Even though the trees were planted by our predecessors, we still have to do the work of fertilizing and watering them, right?"
Lin Chang'er laughed so hard she almost fell over, and the two little ones laughed along with her.
"Uncle Wu is very good!"
"Yes, yes, Uncle Wu always buys sugar figurines for Xiaolu when he comes back from the county government office."
"He even taught the little goldfish to practice calligraphy!"
"They would also tell us about constellations and teach us martial arts."
Lin Chang'er felt comforted to see that the two children remembered everything Wu Qingfeng had done for them.
Madam Huo felt gratified and smiled knowingly, saying, "These are all things he should do. Otherwise, he would have suffered all these calls of 'uncle' from you all for nothing."
If that were the case, how could Chang'er possibly be interested in him?
Gu Xiaolu and the goldfish didn't say anything, but just grinned at the two adults.
Lin Chang'er felt that with Madam Huo's open-mindedness, the family relationship should be harmonious in the future.
The four people each believed that the others had a bright future.
After passing through another gate, we arrived at the residence of the Princess of Zhenbei.
Hearing the commotion, the old nanny in Princess Zhenbei's room hurried out to greet her, "It's Madam Huo! What a coincidence that Master Lin has come! The Princess has just woken up!"
Looking down, I saw the two little babies next to Lin Chang'er. At first glance, I was already surprised, but upon closer inspection, I was even more astonished.
He hurriedly asked, "This old servant is being presumptuous, may I ask, Master, whose young master and young lady are these?"
Lin Chang'er chuckled, "They are my two children." Madam Huo knew her situation perfectly well; her marriage to Wu Qingfeng had been arranged by so many elders. Stepchildren are still children, and Lin Chang'er wasn't embarrassed at all.
The old woman was taken aback. After spending half a day at the Gu family's residence, she had roughly figured out the situation of the Gu family.
The old lady lost her husband early in life and had three sons. Her eldest son is lame and now works for Mr. Lin at the shipyard.
The eldest daughter-in-law helped the owner manage his restaurant and similar shops, and for some reason, the couple had never had children.
The second son has been physically weak since childhood and is skilled at farming. Now he helps his employer manage the sugarcane plantation.
The second daughter-in-law has a physical disability and is unable to speak, but she now manages the embroidery workshop.
The second son and his wife have two sons. The eldest son will be 4 years old next year. He is a clever and mischievous boy and is the king of the kids here.
The youngest child is not yet six months old, and most of the time it is the eldest master and his wife of the Lin family who take care of him.
The three sons were conscripted into the army six months ago and never returned, leaving behind a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.
Therefore, the two children under the name of this Lin Da Dong Jia should be the children left behind by her deceased husband who was conscripted on their wedding night.
However, despite their seemingly unrelated relationship, there's a strange sense of familiarity about this young master and young lady.
