My College Teacher is My Children's Mom-Chapter 667: The New Husband

With that, Wen Xiaoya stood up and addressed everyone.

"Mom, Dad, Big Brother, Sister-in-law," she said. "I’m heading back to my room. You all should get some rest, too."

Zhou Cuilan quickly urged her daughter-in-law to rest. "Go on to bed, so you don’t get a headache from staying up late."

After Mi Fan’s first month, Wen Xiaoya was the one who cared for him constantly. Although her own mother and Lin Jie helped out, she was still the primary caregiver. Day by day, she worried endlessly, afraid of the slightest mishap occurring while caring for such a small child. Now that Mi Fan had started early education classes, she could finally find time to get her headaches checked out.

Ever since she started taking care of Mi Fan, she would get a headache if she slept poorly or stayed up too late. An MRI at the hospital showed no issues. So now, Lin Jie was the one who took care of the child at night.

Mi Fan could kick off his blankets ten or twenty times a night, and he absolutely had to be taken to the bathroom after four in the morning. If he wasn’t woken up, he wouldn’t know to get up and would just wet the bed. On top of that, whenever he had growing pains, Mi Fan would sleep even more restlessly.

Lin Jie knew it wasn’t easy and treated his wife even better, occasionally seeking advice from Lin Feng. He had absolutely no idea how his older brother had managed to raise the four treasures all by himself back then. It was just incredible!

After Wen Xiaoya went upstairs to sleep, only the four of them remained in the living room.

"You all should go to sleep, too." Zhou Cuilan stood up. "We’re also heading off to bed..."

Lin Dashan called out to his wife, "Wait, aren’t we having a family lunch tomorrow?"

Zhou Cuilan smacked her forehead. "Look at my memory! I would’ve forgotten if you hadn’t mentioned it..."

"Isn’t Big Treasure’s flight on the evening of the second day? Second Treasure and Third Treasure are also leaving on the third, so we decided to have a family reunion lunch together tomorrow.

"The kids have grown up and have their own busy lives; we can’t hold them up."

After hearing this, Lin Feng asked, "Has the restaurant been booked?"

Zhou Cuilan said with a smile, "You don’t have to worry about that. Your father and I have already booked the restaurant. We’ll take you there tomorrow at noon."

From her tone, it sounded like everyone who needed to be informed had already been told.

"Alright, it’s fine as long as you and Dad have it arranged."

「That night」

Lin Feng read a book while Zhang Yuxi, wearing her glasses, browsed the news on her phone. When it was about time, the couple turned off the lights and settled in for the night.

「The next morning」

Xiaobao and Mi Fan were the first to wake up. After breakfast, they went out to play with Zhou Cuilan and Wen Xiaoya. The four treasures also left after breakfast, planning to meet up at the restaurant at noon.

Zhang Yuxi didn’t feel like moving, and Lin Feng didn’t want to go out either, so he simply stayed home to do the dishes and keep her company.

Lin Feng asked her, "Honey, when are you going to retire?"

While flipping through a magazine, Zhang Yuxi replied, "In a few more years, I guess."

"My dad called earlier," she added. "He said next year for the Lunar New Year, we’ll go back to Modu."

Lin Feng smiled. "Alright."

He then asked, "How are your parents’ health?"

Zhang Yuxi replied with a hint of worry, "They’re still robust, but as they’ve gotten older, some old ailments from their youth have started to surface. My mom told me that whenever she used to feel unwell, she’d feel better just by taking some medicine. But now, it takes several days of IV drips and injections for them to work."

Lin Feng nodded in understanding. He and Zhang Yuxi weren’t young anymore either.

Seeing that it was about time, the couple changed their clothes and headed to the restaurant.

Zhang Yuxi came out wearing a light green coat. "Honey, what do you think? How does it look?"

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow. "It’s perfect. It really suits your skin tone. But this coat looks a bit familiar. You’ve worn it before, haven’t you?"

A nostalgic look crossed Zhang Yuxi’s face. "This is a set I bought after giving birth to the four treasures. It’s been over twenty years, but it doesn’t look outdated."

Lin Feng complimented his wife, "It just shows you have good taste, honey. You still look beautiful in it."

This surprised Zhang Yuxi. Being complimented by her husband filled her heart with delight.

"So you really think it looks good on me?"

Lin Feng laughed. "Of course! Young, beautiful, and elegant."

Zhang Yuxi pursed her lips in a smile and entered the walk-in closet. She used to like simple and elegant clothes, but now, for some reason, she preferred bright and vivid ones. After taking the time to dress up, she reflected that over the years, she seemed to have aged more slowly than anyone she knew. And it was all thanks to the medicine her husband had found for her!

Lin Feng was already dressed and waiting for her by the door. When Zhang Yuxi came out, he couldn’t help but praise her.

"Honey, you look beautiful."

Zhang Yuxi glanced at her husband. "Honey, you’re getting more and more charming."

Lin Feng put an arm around her and smiled gently. "Let’s go, it’s getting late."

It was the New Year holiday, and they were heading to a restaurant again. As expected, they hit traffic.

When they finally arrived, the dishes had already been served; everyone was just waiting for the two of them to start eating. Usually, at gatherings like this, Lin Feng was the one who handled the socializing. At Zhou Cuilan’s beckoning, Zhang Yuxi took a seat.

Lin Feng walked in with a smile. "Everyone, please start eating. Sorry we’re late. I’ll drink three glasses as a penalty."

With that, he poured and downed three glasses of liquor as an apology.

Just as Zhang Yuxi sat down, Wen Xiaoya’s eyes lit up. "Wow, Sister-in-law, your coat is so pretty! You look amazing in it."

Zhang Yuxi explained, "I bought this a long time ago, not long after having the four treasures, back when I was opening my shop in Yangcheng."

Hearing Wen Xiaoya praise her beauty made Zhang Yuxi incredibly happy.

Wen Xiaoya continued, "Sister-in-law, you shouldn’t always wear such simple things. You should wear more eye-catching colors. They really make you shine. This color suits you perfectly. It’s so vibrant and gorgeous."

Then, she looked at Zhang Yuxi’s face with envy. "Sister-in-law, what’s your secret? All these years, I’ve never seen a single sign of aging on you. Look at me, I already have crow’s feet and forehead lines."

Zhang Yuxi leaned in for a closer look, and sure enough, they were there.

"You know exactly what skincare products I use, don’t you?"

Wen Xiaoya sighed and decided not to continue this painful topic.

The food at the restaurant was just average. Zhang Yuxi ate while listening to Xiaoya chatter away. In the past, she used to hear all the family gossip from Lin Feng, who in turn heard it from Zhou Cuilan, so Zhang Yuxi was always aware of some of the latest whispers.

But now, Zhou Cuilan didn’t bring these things up with Lin Feng anymore. Instead, she told Xiaoya. After all, her son was a grown man; she couldn’t always be talking about such trivial matters. As a result, Xiaoya knew a lot of inside scoops. To Zhang Yuxi’s surprise, Xiaoya knew more than half of the people here.

"See that person in the white down jacket? She’s on a blind date with a rich heir whose family owns a furniture factory..."

"And that balding man over there... he’s Sister Xiaolan’s new husband..."

After divorcing Feng Yong, Lin Xiaolan had never remarried, raising her daughter on her own. After Third Uncle Lin Dahu passed away, Third Aunt and Lin Rui both helped her out. Once Lin Xiaolan’s daughter started college, she moved to another city with her. Later, she borrowed some money from her mother and brother to make a down payment on a 120-square-meter, two-bedroom apartment. She opened her own clothing store, selling both online and offline, and occasionally did livestreams. Her daughter was about to graduate from college, and life was gradually getting better.

Zhang Yuxi knew all of this, but she was unaware that Lin Xiaolan had a boyfriend. The man looked honest and down-to-earth. According to Xiaoya, he was an elementary school teacher who had been teaching for over ten years. His wife had passed away, his son had already started working, and he now lived alone.

Zhang Yuxi looked over and saw an empty seat next to the man, with a young person sitting on his other side. As she was talking with Xiaoya, someone came in and took the empty seat. It was none other than Lin Xiaolan.

Lin Xiaolan was a bit older than Lin Feng, and one could guess her age at a glance. She wore a red down jacket, her hair was in a bun, and she wore a touch of lipstick. She met Zhang Yuxi’s gaze and nodded with a smile, as if everything was in the past and she, too, had matured.

Being the New Year, the meal was very lively.

The younger generation sat at their own table. This included the four treasures, Yu Zheng’s son, Lin Rui’s two sons, Lin Jiajun’s two sons, and Xiaobao. Because their fathers were close, this younger generation was also very close and had a great relationship. Xiaobao was the darling of the group and even received gifts from his older cousins.

In stark contrast were a few less familiar relatives of the same age, like Lin Xiaolan’s daughter, Lin Wenwen. Wenwen, who resembled her mother, was quiet and gentle, giving off a pleasant impression.

When everyone had almost finished eating, they decided to go do something fun. Upstairs was a teahouse with tables for playing cards, so everyone decided to go play a few hands to help digest their meal.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Yuxi whispered in Lin Feng’s ear, "Honey, I’m going to prepare a red envelope for Sister Xiaolan’s daughter. What do you think?"

Lin Feng had no objection. "You can decide on that."

Some went upstairs to play cards while others remained behind, chatting.
