Chapter 163: Home, sweet home
As was frightened last night, Mrs. Lin doesn’t wake up until eight o’clock in the morning, which is not her habit. After waking up, she thinks about a strange dream last night. In the dream, a gun robbery happens at home.
At the end of the dream, however, her daughter comes down from the sky unexpectedly. Thinking about this, Mrs. Lin bursts into tears again: being abducted is not a big deal, if she can really meet her daughter who has been missing for three years, she will accept any nightmare!
Mrs. Lin sighs. She looks at the clock and her husband who is sleeping in bed and she gets up to make breakfast. Unexpectedly, she smells breakfast as soon as she opens the bedroom door. Mrs. Lin doesn’t pay attention as she a.s.sumes that Baojia has woken up and made breakfast.
However, when she pa.s.ses by Baojia’s bedroom, she finds that Baojia is still sleeping. It is obvious that she has not woken up yet.
Who made breakfast then? Li Xi’er, who leaves last night? Mrs. Lin rejects the a.s.sumption. Even though Li Xi’er is fast in learning, she has no gift in cooking and what she cooks tastes terrible. If Li Xi’er makes breakfast, there will never be such a good smell.
Mrs. Lin holds the handrail and the dream suddenly occurs to her.
Could it be…?
Mrs. Lin hesitates. She expects that the dream is true, but she is afraid of bigger disappointment as well. She holds the handrail and walks downstairs. On the table, there is a plate of steamed buns, several bowls of congee with minced pork and preserved egg and some side dishes. The fragrance that she smells comes exactly from the table.
There is still the sound of cooking in the kitchen. A few minutes later, Lin Luoran walks out of the kitchen with a plate of shredded cuc.u.mber. She calls, “Mom”, and chocks with sobs.
Mrs. Lin pinches her hand and realizes that it’s not a dream… She takes a few steps forward and hugs Lin Luoran, crying. It takes Lin Luoran some effort to comfort her mother. A few minutes later, her father and Baojia wake up as well, followed by Luodong. When everyone calms down and is ready to have breakfast, half an hour already pa.s.ses.
Looking at the cooled breakfast, Mrs. Lin is a little embarra.s.sing. She wipes her tears and says, “I’ll heat the breakfast.”
Lin Luoran stops her. As a cultivator in the level of Laying Foundation, it is so easy for her to heat things up. She reaches out her hand, covers it with red light and stops above the congee and steamed buns. They are now at a perfect temperature, hot, but not too hot to eat.
In the Lin family, there is no such rule as “forbidding talking while eating”, so they talk about what has happened in the past three years. They are tacit and none of them talk about what happened last night or asks what happened to Zou Yaowei.
Commander Qin retired from office because of “illness”?
Sister w.a.n.g has a baby daughter and her family mostly live in No.17 villa, very close to Lin’s villa?
Qu Yi went back and Li Xi’er who has been staying here disappeared last night… There are good news and bad news. Lin Luoran sensitively feels that in the past three years when she is not here, her family has been living cautiously.
It will never happen again! She makes up her mind secretly.
However, she cannot guard her home forever and never leaves the house. The best solution is to help her father and Baojia make progress as fast as possible. She did not come up with the idea on the spur of the moment last night when she told those cultivators that she would sell elixirs and boluses. Actually, she laid foundation at the end of the second year in the blood pool, but at that time she did not fully convert Reiki in her body and she was not in a stable condition, so she could not move, let alone getting out.
What could she do in the year of lying? Apart from revising the knowledge of cultivation, she thought mostly about the cultivation of her father and Baojia. This is the cultivation world in reality, not in games or novels. With the help of boluses, they can certainly make progress quickly, but if their foundation is not solid, it will actually be a lot harder for them to make progress in their future cultivation. Therefore, Lin Luoran wants to exchange her low-level boluses for something that is helpful to her father, Baojia and even herself.
After breakfast, Lin Luoran check her father’s condition again. His wounds already crust and his vital energy and blood are restoring. She stops worrying about him. Lin Luoran has already become the backbone of the Lin family. As long as she is here, everyone feels at ease.
Mrs. Lin is very satisfied as long as her daughter is home. The only one she is worried about is Li Xi’er, who disappeared last night.
Thinking of the cultivators here last night, Lin Luoran believes that Li Xi’er was taken away by her school, so she is not worried about her safety.
After comforting her mother, Lin Luoran feels emotional. Time is the best way to test everything. When everyone thinks that she is dead, apart from Baojia, who has been like family already, the only people that can still treat the Lin family with all their heart are w.a.n.g Miao’e and her husband, and Li Xi’er, who has experienced a lot with her in the secret land. With the appreciation of what they have done to the Lin family, Lin Luoran now has the thought of being friends with them forever.
To those who treat the Lin family wholeheartedly, she will never let them down!
Looking at the flowers blossoming in the yard, the fruitful peach trees and the iron thorns on the fence, she feels that she can only relax in the coziest and most comfortable way at home.
Lin Luoran lies down under the flower vines, looking at Luodong, who has been standing next to her for a long time.
Little Luodong, or should she say, teenager Luodong at the age of twelve, is turning from a little boy with a round face to a young spark as he is now growing taller and losing baby fat.
Our baby boy is growing up, Lin Luoran thinks, missing the old days when she can play with his round face.
Earth Reiki is gentle and kind. With the influence of earth Reiki, although Luodong has changed a lot in his appearance, he was still the shy boy. Her mother has told Lin Luoran that Luodong studies very well and he will jump to grade six. Finally, he catches up with other children at the same age.
