"They were here just yesterday," Lin Xiaoxi laughed. "One's probably busy with work, and the other with getting their child into school."
Lin Xiaoguai suddenly realized, "Xiao Mao's son is starting kindergarten?"
"Yeah, the couple is really dedicated, they managed to get their child registered for school in the county town. But since the child is still so young, commuting to school from so far away isn't ideal, so they're trying to buy a house in the county town." In his forties, Lin Xiaoxi had lost the playful joviality of his youth, his demeanor became serious in an instant, making him seem mature and dependable, though mentioning family would always soften his expression.
"Is money an issue?" Lin Xiaoguai asked, frowning.
Lin Xiaoxi nodded and noticed her concern, saying hurriedly, "Don't you worry, Xiao Mao's husband is quite capable, with wide connections. He'll definitely be able to borrow the money. If they do run into real trouble, they'll surely ask me first, not you."
