Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 678 - 656: Li Suolan’s Injury

"Hello Aunt Yun, hello Han, thank you for your trouble today," Lin Wan quickly stepped forward to greet them.

"No trouble at all, we’re all in the same community. Come by more often. My Han stays cooped up at home all the time and doesn’t go out, so she doesn’t have many friends around."

Lin Wan quickly smiled in response.

Han Yi smiled at her and said something to her mother before taking Xiao Wan up to the third floor, their half-story.

Unexpectedly, this place was like a hidden gem, transformed by this designer into her own cozy abode. The room was filled with pure, authentic solid wood.

A sloped roof with a huge glass window—lying on the bed at night, you could see the stars in the sky with just a turn of your head.

"Won’t rain leak in if there’s a window on the roof?" Lin Wan asked curiously, since the current construction materials aren’t as good as future technologies.

Han Yi smiled and shook her head. "No, I made special adjustments, and the glass is triple-layered. It’s very sturdy."

Lin Wan, not knowing much about this, smiled and nodded.

Han Yi invited her to sit down and handed her the already designed blueprints from the table. "Take a look, is this okay? If you’re not satisfied, let me know."

Lin Wan glanced at it, and it had a grand, simple, and modern appearance. The design was very reasonable. She didn’t understand much, but it looked fine to her.

"It’s great, thank you. Honestly, I really like your design, it’s very good," Lin Wan praised without reservation.

"As long as you’re satisfied. During construction, if there are any issues, you can call me at any time. Though I’ve drawn it in detail, even any professional construction team leader can understand it," she said, considering it a simple clothing factory that was not challenging for her.

Lin Wan nodded in agreement, chatted with Han Yi for a while, and then went downstairs together.

Her mom saw she was done, exchanged a few polite words, and then came out.

Of course, the design blueprint wasn’t drawn for free; her factory’s design would cost over five hundred.

A shop in Z City cost three hundred, and the splicing drum tower in S City also cost two hundred.

Wow, being an architect is quite nice, it brings in money quickly.

But the key is that she has the capability.

Lin Wan really admired this young girl. At twenty years old, she already had such skilled designs. What would it be like in the future?

In the evening, when Saozi returned from her break, she was followed by her brother. Seeing her brother utterly focused on Saozi, ignoring his rarely visiting sister altogether and treating her like air.

Seeing their expressions, Lin Wan knew something had happened.

As soon as her brother entered, he hurriedly asked mom to make Saozi some nourishing soup, saying Saozi hadn’t eaten much all day.

"What’s going on, is she sick?" Liang Hongmei anxiously went forward to feel Mu Qing’s forehead.

Causing Saozi to blush with embarrassment, "Mom, I’m fine."

"Mom, Qingqing is pregnant. You see... the doctor said it’s been two months," Lin Yinghui foolishly handed over the test results.

Joyfully, Liang Hongmei was overjoyed. "Great, great, this is good news. Didn’t eat? Is the reaction strong? Ah Hui, quickly let Qingqing lie down in bed, and I’ll make her something delicious. Can’t have an empty stomach while pregnant, or the baby won’t get enough nutrition."

"Mom, I’m okay," said Mu Qing, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the pampering.

Since marrying, she’s felt more comfortable at her in-law’s than at her own home.

Now, she barely speaks with her family. Her father always goes to the military to find her, but she can’t be bothered and hides far away each time.

However, her comrades said her father now often seeks connections with her father-in-law, which embarrassed Mu Qing greatly.

Her father-in-law had also told her not to worry about these things, just to live her life well with Ah Hui. He could handle these matters.

Sigh, what a wonderful family she was lucky to have found. If Ah Hui had truly been someone else’s, she would regret it to death.

Perhaps her entire life would be different.

When Lin Yinghui helped his wife upstairs, he noticed his sister looking at him resentfully from the side, first surprised, "Xiao Wan, when did you arrive?"

"Humph, Saozi, I’m jealous," Lin Wan rolled her eyes at him and ignored him. Instead, she turned to Mu Qing.

Mu Qing awkwardly touched her forehead and looked down while smiling.

Lin Yinghui didn’t have time to deal with his little sister; he needed to take good care of his wife.

He gave her a gentle knock on the head, then helped Mu Qing upstairs.

"Xiao Wan, did Little Star come?" Mu Qing turned to ask Lin Wan.

"No, I’m just staying here for a couple of days; time is tight," Lin Wan replied.

Mu Qing showed a bit of regret.

With a new family member on the way, Lin Guozhi and Liang Hongmei were the happiest of all.

That night, her mom prepared a lavish dinner. Fortunately, Saozi’s reaction wasn’t too bad, and she ate quite a bit.

Han Yi returned the next morning.

Saozi was on vacation and took them to look at car factories in Z City. Lin Yinghui, not trusting them, accompanied them as well.

Buying a car is a big deal. Instead of heading straight to the factory, they visited several car dealerships in Z City.

Z City sold several brands of cars, ranging in price from more than ten thousand to twenty thousand.

Santana, Fiat 126p (also known as Little Potato), rather small. Lin Wan liked it. Citroën CX20, a seven-seater, looked a bit peculiar but nice.

Han Yi was interested in a Lada Niva off-road vehicle, but it was too expensive, at a hundred thousand.

"Little Potatoes" were cheaper, just 5000 yuan, and Saozi really liked it after seeing it.

In the end, they didn’t make a choice, but Lin Yinghui and Saozi cheerfully bought a creamy white "Little Potato."

Han Yi helplessly smiled and said, "Wife, let’s just buy one; whatever you like, we can get."

Lin Wan chuckled, "Should we also get a Little Potato?"

The money she saved mostly went into building the house, costing a hundred thousand. She wasn’t ready to spend a hundred thousand on a car now.

With a difference of ten thousand and five thousand, how many "Little Potatoes" could one buy? Besides, with developments happening rapidly in the coming years, new models would emerge.

Yesterday, I even saw a "Little Potato" parked under Han’s house.

Santanas were also priced at five or six thousand. Eventually, they opted for a former Soviet Lada car, a white sedan, which cost thirty-six thousand.

Mu Qing watched with heartache, as thirty-six thousand could buy five "Little Potatoes" like their family had.

However, their situation differed from Lin Wan’s. They didn’t travel long distances and used it just within the city. She didn’t drive much while stationed on base, but it was practical for Ah Hui to drive to and from work.

Han Yi was about to graduate, and it would be more convenient for Lin Wan to drive to the base. Occasionally heading there, those "Little Potatoes" indeed didn’t last long.

After the two couples bought cars and returned home, Lin Guozhi was excited to take it for a spin. Liang Hongmei felt a bit heartbroken.

But it was all their own money, so she had nothing to say. If they were happy, that was enough. Her focus was on building up the restaurant to earn some money for them.

"Back when I was over there, I had a car myself, the one I bought. Alas, such a pity," Lin Guozhi said, looking at their two cars, smiling wistfully.

"Dad, if you like, we could buy you one too," someone offered.

"The department provided me with a car, much better than these two you have. But thinking about it... it seems like your mother is the only one in the family who doesn’t know how to drive. Now that Ah Hui bought one, I’ll come back home early, teach your mom how to drive, and strive for our whole family to learn driving."

"Oh, no, I won’t learn, I won’t learn. How can I learn that thing?" Liang Hongmei seemed flustered. She’s quite content with just her bicycle. Learning to drive had never crossed her mind.

"Mom, it’s really easy. Let Dad teach you, I’m sure you’ll learn it quickly. When I was learning, I drove a big truck."

"You drove that big truck of Cong Nan’s?" Liang Hongmei looked at her petite daughter, surprised thinking of the huge truck

"Yes, indeed. I’ve already learned and can drive now," Lin Wan encouraged Liang Hongmei.

The children of the Lin family’s eldest are all capable, and even the wife earns a good living. Everyone in the courtyard knew that Liang Hongmei had bought a plot of land and was building a high-rise on her own.

Now having two cars parked in their courtyard made everyone in the compound envious.

Especially Mu Guomin and Li Suolan. Their daughter held a grudge against them and was now even reluctant to see them.

Living in the same compound, chance meetings were rare as if climbing into the sky.

Even when they occasionally met, it was never pleasant. The son-in-law was often seen, but he didn’t acknowledge them, always refusing their invitations to dinner with various excuses.
