Chapter 1378: The Mother-in-Law's Time Travel Effect
Seeing the two little ones' impatient expressions, Lin Lang smiled and ruffled their hair: "Father has plans for tonight, go and have fun."
"Okay!" the two children replied in unison, and began to put on their shoes by themselves. Their short legs moved quickly, and the whole room was filled with the sound of their cheerful footsteps.
Looking at the lively scene, Zhou Mengyao glanced at Lin Lang, a warm smile in her eyes, but couldn't help but tentatively ask:
"Honey, what are your plans for tonight?"
Lin Lang replied, "Today is Lanshan's mother's birthday. I'm going to the Zhao residence tonight to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday."
After hearing this, Zhou Mengyao said, "That's important. It's also the first birthday of Lanshan's mother since she was brought back to life after you traveled through time. We should celebrate it properly."
"Well, so you three should go back to the Zhou residence for dinner. If there's nothing else to do, stay at the Zhou residence for a few more days." Lin Lang smiled slightly.
"Alright, my two little darlings, say goodbye to your father." Zhou Mengyao held her son's hand in one hand and her daughter's hand in the other.
Xiao Haoyi said in a clear voice, "Goodbye, Father!"
"Goodbye, Father!" Little Zhiqing giggled.
Lin Lang squatted down, kissed his daughter and son on the cheeks, hugged the two little ones in his arms, and then reluctantly let go of his children.
"Then we're off, honey." Zhou Mengyao smiled gently, the air filled with the sweet joy of returning to her parents' home.
"Let's go." Lin Lang patted his son and daughter's heads again, then stood up with a smile.
After Zhou Mengyao left with the children, Lin Lang snapped his fingers, summoned two clones, and they traveled away to buy some gifts.
Lin Lang, the main character, walked out of Zhou Mengyao's bedroom, closed the door, and slowly walked towards Chen Nianlin's room.
Before I even reached the door, I could hear clear English listening practice coming from inside, with standard American pronunciation, each sentence flowing through the quiet air.
Then came the scratching sound of the pen tip gliding across the paper, a rhythmic yet rapid sound that conveyed an intense focus that allowed no distraction.
Lin Lang stopped in front of his sister's door, which was ajar.
Peeking through the crack in the door, you could see Chen Nianlin wearing a Chanel dress, her long, flowing hair casually draped over her shoulders, and a Hermes hair clip on her head. She was sitting obediently at her desk, using a Newman MP4 player to dictate English.
Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her right hand held a pen above the notebook, clearly trying to capture key information from her hearing.
Chen Nianlin wore a dazzling diamond necklace on her wrist, already beginning to resemble the young lady of the Lin family.
Even without the system prompts, Lin Lang could guess that the designer brands and jewelry Chen Nianlin wore must have been bought by her sisters-in-law.
On the desk lay the English textbook from the first semester of the second year of high school, next to a thick stack of exercise books. The covers were covered with highlighters, and the margins were filled with annotations. Even the grammatical errors in the example sentences were carefully circled in red.
Looking at his younger sister studying diligently, Lin Lang felt a surge of tenderness in his heart as he saw the tenacity in her eyes, and a sense of relief spread through him like warm water.
He stood at the door for a moment, then gently knocked on the door panel.
Chen Nianlin snapped out of her daze and called out, "Who is it?"
"It's me." Lin Lang said softly as he pushed open the door.
Chen Nianlin turned her head and saw Lin Lang at the door. Her eyes lit up instantly, like stars that had been lit up. A shy smile bloomed on her face: "Brother."
As she spoke, she stood up from her chair, walked briskly to him, hesitated for half a second, then opened her arms and gently nestled into his embrace. "Are you done with your work?"
Lin Lang caught his younger sister steadily and patted her back: "Yes, your brother has come to see you."
Chen Nianlin released Lin Lang, her cheeks slightly flushed, and took a half step back, looking at him with bright eyes, as if she had something to say.
She clutched the hem of her clothes and whispered, "Brother, our school is having a parent-teacher conference at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Are you... are you free?"
Seeing his sister's nervous yet expectant expression, Lin Lang's heart softened, and he immediately nodded: "Of course I'm free, I'll be there on time."
"Great! I was worried you wouldn't have time! Hehe!" Chen Nianlin's eyes widened, and she jumped up with joy.
Lin Lang smiled and ruffled his sister's hair, his gaze falling on the workbook on the desk: "Aren't you tired of studying high school courses?"
Chen Nianlin glanced down at her desk and smiled sheepishly: "It would be a lie to say I'm not tired. Everyone in the class is working hard, especially in English. I'm always afraid of falling behind."
She paused, then looked up with a determined look in her eyes. "But I'm confident that if I work hard for another year after the start of senior year, I'll definitely get into my dream university."
Lin Lang looked at the light in his sister's eyes, his tone filled with affection:
"Silly girl, which university do you want to go to? If you want to get into Tsinghua or Peking University, just tell your brother, and I can get you a guaranteed admission spot with just one word. You won't have to work so hard to prepare for the exam."
Chen Nianlin was stunned after hearing this, her mouth slightly open, clearly not expecting that she could be admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University with just one word from her brother.
After a few seconds, she shook her head, her eyes becoming extremely serious: "Brother, thank you, but I want to take the exam myself."
She looked up at Lin Lang, her voice soft but firm:
"I don't feel at ease relying on my brother to get me a guaranteed admission spot."
Only when I received the acceptance letter after painstakingly earning my own score did I truly feel that I had earned it myself. And…”
She pursed her lips, a confident smile curving her lips. "I think I can do it. I can get into Tsinghua or Peking University without being recommended for admission."
Lin Lang was taken aback when he saw his half-sister's stubborn yet proud demeanor, and then burst into laughter.
He reached out and ruffled her hair again, his eyes full of admiration: "Good, you have guts!"
"Since you want to fight for yourself, your brother will support you."
"If you need any supplementary books or want to hire a tutor, just tell Sister-in-law Gu Ran, and she'll arrange everything perfectly for you."
"Okay! Thank you, brother!" Chen Nianlin nodded vigorously, turned around, picked up her English notebook, and pointed to a page. "Could you help me take a look at this English question? I feel like something's not quite right..."
Lin Lang leaned closer, looked at his sister's neat handwriting in her notebook, and patiently taught her how to solve the problems.
Chen Nianlin is very smart; she understands things almost instantly and learns them quickly.
For Lin Lang, who is fluent in all the world's languages, teaching his younger sister English is as easy as teaching a kindergarten child addition and subtraction within ten.
Just as Lin Lang was explaining the English questions that Chen Nianlin didn't understand, he saw Xiao Zhimo holding her younger sister Xiao Zhiyan's hand, laughing and playing as they ran into the room.
The two little ones excitedly called out, "Auntie, Auntie, we've come to find you to come downstairs and play!"
Hearing the sound, Lin Lang turned around and saw his and Gu Keqing's daughter, Lin Zhiming, holding the little hand of his and Cai Yinong's daughter, Lin Zhiyan, and running into the room.
"Oh, my two precious daughters are here!" Lin Lang squatted down and hugged his two adorable daughters into his arms at the same time.
"Father!" Xiao Zhimo smiled sweetly and threw herself into Lin Lang's arms, hugging his neck and acting coquettishly.
"Father, you're here too!" Little Zhiyan also rushed into Lin Lang's arms, rubbing her little face against his neck.
Lin Lang said with a smile, "You guys are always bothering your little aunt to play, which will affect her studying."
Chen Nianlin quickly smiled and said, "It won't affect anything, it won't affect anything. I've just finished reviewing my lessons. I'll go downstairs and play with my nephews and nieces for a while, and then we can have dinner."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhiyan let go of Lin Lang, ran over and jumped into Chen Nianlin's arms, tilting her head up and saying coquettishly, "Auntie, let's go downstairs quickly, everyone is waiting for you to play 'Red Light, Green Light'!"
"Come on, your aunt will take you to play." Chen Nianlin smiled sweetly and gently took Xiao Zhiyan's hand.
"Yay!" Xiao Zhimo let go of Lin Lang and ran over to hold her aunt's hand.
Seeing this, Lin Lang smiled helplessly yet indulgently.
"Then, brother, I'll take Yan'er and Mo'er downstairs to play." Chen Nianlin smiled slightly.
Lin Lang replied, "Go ahead."
"Goodbye, Father!" The two little ones, holding their aunt's hand, skipped and hopped out of the house and downstairs with playful and cheerful steps.
Immediately afterward, a system notification sounded in Lin Lang's mind.
"Ding! The high-end cordyceps, ginseng, deer antler, lingzhi and other gifts, as well as the candy for the children, have all been purchased. The clone has been recalled by the system after completing the task of purchasing the gifts."
"Buzz..." Lin Lang's phone vibrated.
Upon seeing that the caller ID showed Zhao Lanshan, Lin Lang answered the phone immediately.
"Hey, honey."
Zhao Lanshan's gentle voice came through the receiver: "Honey, it's my mom's birthday tonight. What time will you arrive at the Zhao residence?"
Lin Lang replied, "I just bought a gift for my mother-in-law, I'll be there soon."
Before Zhao Lanshan could reply, a soft voice came from behind: "Father, come quickly! My brother and I miss you so much!"
It was the voice of Lin Lang and Zhao Lanshan's eldest daughter, Xiao Zhini.
Hearing his daughter's innocent voice, Lin Lang's heart melted, and he said with a smile, "Father has arrived."
"Father, my sister bullied me again and pushed me down." Xiao Haoming seized the opportunity to complain to Lin Lang.
"Haha..." Lin Lang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Oh dear, my darling son, have you been naughty and caused trouble again? Is that why your sister is disciplining you?"
Xiao Zhini hurriedly said over the phone, "Father, my brother tore up my painting. Can I not beat him?"
Zhao Lanshan's laughter also came over: "Alright, alright, Ni'er, you're the older sister, you should give way to your younger brother."
"Hmph, Mother is biased." Little Zhini said in a wronged voice.
Upon hearing this, Lin Lang couldn't wait to activate the [Space-Time Mass Teleportation] skill, and with a "whoosh," he teleported to the first-floor hall of the Zhao family villa.
Zhao Lanshan and her two children were sitting on the sofa, making a phone call to Lin Lang.
Upon seeing Lin Lang, Xiao Zhini immediately ran over with her short legs, jumped into Lin Lang's arms, and excitedly shouted, "Father! Father, I missed you so much!"
Lin Lang bent down and squatted on the ground, hugging his five-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Lin Zhini, and kissing her delicate, beautiful face again and again.
"My beloved daughter, your father misses you too!"
After Lin Lang changed history and traveled back in time to save Zhao Lanshan's mother, Yang Limei, the time travel effect caused Xiao Haoming to be only four years old now, when he should have been six.
Xiao Zhini is the eldest daughter that Lin Lang and Zhao Lanshan gained due to the time-travel effect of this event.
It turns out that Lin Lang and Zhao Lanshan only had one son, Lin Haoming. Due to the time travel effect, he not only became two years younger, but his first child also turned into his older sister, Lin Zhini.
Upon seeing Lin Lang, Xiao Haoming quickly slid off the sofa and rushed towards Lin Lang like a little cannonball, repeatedly calling out, "Father! Father!"
Lin Lang opened his arms and hugged his son, kissing Xiao Haoming's face repeatedly with affection.
"Ming'er, you've grown taller again. Your chubby little face is so cute."
Little Haoming chuckled and asked, "Father, did you bring me and my sister some delicious food?"
Zhao Lanshan walked over with a smile and teased, "You brat, all you know is how to eat."
Lin Lang hurriedly took out two large bags of imported snacks from his personal space. The ingredient lists were very clean, and they did not contain any food additives or preservatives.
"Here you go, son. These are snacks and candies that your father bought for you and your sister."
"Yay! Thank you, Father!" Xiao Haoming happily took the bag of snacks and gave Lin Lang a quick kiss on the left cheek.
"Father is the best!" Xiao Zhini smiled and took the bag of snacks, then kissed Lin Lang on the right cheek.
Grandma Yang Limei is usually very strict and doesn't allow the two little ones to eat junk food, fearing it would be unhealthy for them.
That's why the two little ones were so happy after receiving the snacks.
