Lin Xi went to work.
Old Chen sat beside the table eating the meal prepared by his mother-in-law.
His father-in-law, perhaps fearing Old Chen's meal would be too boring alone, deliberately accompanied him with a small drink.
After eating and drinking well, Old Chen's face was glowing.
Chen Xiao, though not certain, felt this might have been the most satisfying meal Old Chen had in years.
Just after the meal, Old Chen said, "Chen Xiao, take me to the station."
Lin Shanhu quickly replied, "Why the rush?"
"Chen Xiao's mother is still at home. It's busy in the field now, and without me, she can't handle the heavy work. Besides, if I go back late, she'll be afraid to sleep alone."
"In-laws, you really are deeply in love." Han Meixiang mumbled, constantly glancing at his father-in-law.
Lin Shanhu coughed twice, and Chen Xiao was well aware of his parents' habits.
