Chapter 227 Who dares to say anything?
"You are all Tangtang's uncles. You have been busy all morning for the important matters of the village. What's wrong with Tangtang treating you to ice cream? Don't be so polite, just eat it quickly."
The villagers felt very comfortable with Lin Lu's words.
The curve of his mouth almost reached the back of his head.
I took a bite of the ice cream and it felt sweet and cool, and my whole body felt comfortable.
“This ice cream is sweet and fragrant.”
"Thank you, Tangtang."
"We're really here!"
…
The little kid in the village huddled beside his father, his little face full of joy, and he spoke in a low voice.
"Dad, Sister Tangtang also bought some ice cream for us. It's delicious."
"Dad, the county is so much fun. I'll study hard in the future. When I have a stable job, I can buy meat for you and my mother..."
The villagers were talking lively, and Li Jiancai and Shuanzi walked towards Lin Tang.
"Tangtang, I heard about that incident from Shuanzi. Please keep this kid in mind." Li Jiancai patted his nephew's shoulder with a grateful look.
He only found out this morning that the Lin family asked Shuanzi to deliver vegetables to the county every day.
Knowing this, I felt incredibly complicated.
Jiangang is gone, leaving behind my younger brother, sister-in-law and several children.
Shuanzi is the eldest son and has two younger brothers and sisters. He is under a lot of pressure.
Living solely on farming, life is really hard.
It would be a great thing if I could have a stable income.
Lin Tang smiled and said, "Brother Shuanzi, you are too polite. It's a coincidence. Brother Shuanzi, work hard and your life will gradually get better."
In her eyes, the villagers are simple, capable, kind and honest, and deserve to live a good life.
Since losing his father, Shuanzi, who is about the same age as Lin Qingmu, has become much more mature and stable.
In addition, he worked very hard to earn a centimetre, so he was dark and thin, but his eyes were dark and bright, full of light.
"Yes, I will." Shuanzi nodded seriously.
After struggling for a long time, he finally said thank you, "...Thank you Tangtang."
The farm boy was always embarrassed to say things that seemed corny to him.
Lin Tang shook his head. "No need to thank me. It's not easy to carry so many vegetables to the county every day..."
Before he could finish his words, a loud shout came from a staff member not far away.
"... Brat, you can chat with me if you want, or get out of here if you don't want. I don't have a number today..."
The people being yelled at were a pair of ragged siblings.
My sister's hair was messy, her face was covered in sweat, and she looked embarrassed with her self-esteem hurt.
My younger brother is small and thin, with rough skin and a stubborn look of defiance in his eyes.
The boy clenched his fists and said angrily, "Why do they have numbers but we don't? You're looking down on us."
The staff had been busy all morning and were already feeling irritable, so they had even less patience for this little brat.
He stretched out his arms and pushed him away fiercely.
"Get lost! I said no, so I didn't. Stop talking nonsense here..."
The young boy was knocked over and almost fell on the backpack full of grain.
His face turned red with anger.
I wanted to pick up a stone and throw it at this dog's face.
She glared at the man's back with hatred.
His sister burst into tears and hit him on the back a few times, crying angrily, "...I told you not to talk nonsense. If we can't deliver the grain today, we have to carry it back.
It’s a two-hour journey. I have to carry it back and set off again early tomorrow morning.
If I had known you would offend people, I wouldn’t have brought you along…”
The girl's tears fell, her eyes were swollen, and her face was full of despair.
The farmers who were delivering grain nearby watched helplessly but did not dare to say a word in favor.
The people at the grain station are so awesome.
If they dare to speak up, others may refuse to accept the grain, which will only harm themselves.
When everyone is in danger, who dares to speak out?
Poor these two little kids.
Lin Tang felt very uncomfortable when he saw this scene.
The staff at the grain station have stable jobs and eat public grain.
Isn’t it just ordinary people who rely on it?
It is really disgusting that people speak ill of hardworking and honest children nowadays.
Lin Lu's eyebrows were furrowed into a small hillock, and he said helplessly: "Alas! It's still a little kid. If this was my own child, I would be heartbroken to death."
"Bah, these bastards at the grain station have thighs thicker than their waists and are so powerful. Whatever they say is what counts. No one dares to control them, and no one dares to go against them. We can only put up with it." Li Jiancai spat, looking down on the behavior of these people.
Lin Tang's eyes flashed, and he asked curiously, "Uncle Jiancai, do you know whose influence these people are borrowing?"
Li Jiancai's body stiffened.
Looked around carefully.
The voice was very low.
He made a number and pushed up twice.
"Our entire county, the one above, understand?"
After Li Jiancai said this, he clearly felt that the air around him seemed to be compressed for a moment.
A cold breeze blew over me.
It makes people feel cold all over.
hiss……
"Why is it so cold suddenly! Is the weather going to get colder?" Li Jiancai rubbed his arms and muttered softly.
It would be nice if the temperature dropped, but it would be even better if it rained.
Upon hearing this, Lin Tang instantly dispelled the coldness around him.
Which one?
hehe.
Is this what it means when enemies meet on a narrow road?
As expected of that family, they are as domineering as ever.
Thinking of this, Lin Tang walked towards the brother and sister.
"Wipe your sweat!" She handed over two tissues and said softly.
The two siblings lowered their heads, looking helpless.
The lonely chick looked like a little chicken drenched in rain.
The skinny little girl heard the voice, raised her head, and was slightly stunned when she saw Lin Tang's fair and handsome face.
"...Thank you, thank you." She replied in a hoarse voice.
When I was young, I had a particularly strong sense of self-esteem. When faced with my own poverty, ugliness, and unsophisticated appearance, I would often fall into a state of inferiority.
That's what happened to the girl who delivered the food.
Embarrassed and self-deprecating.
I wish I could dig a hole and bury myself in it.
The brother and sister were silent for a moment, then took the tissue, wiped their faces roughly, and thanked him again.
"……Thanks."
Lin Tang comforted him kindly, "It's okay, don't worry."
Not far away.
Lin Lu handed another cigarette to the staff member who was quite easy to talk to, said a few nice words, and the man nodded.
"Please move the grain over here!" said the grain station staff indifferently.
The embarrassed brother and sister's eyes suddenly lit up, and they half-knelt down and tried to carry the food.
They didn't bring much food. The sister carried a bag and the brother carried a basket.
Seeing that the two children were so thin that they would fall down with a gust of wind, the members of Shuangshan Brigade hurried forward and carried the food over to them.
They only stopped after seeing the people at the grain station gave them the receipt.
When you are out and about, every effort is made to help.
Who knows if my own children will encounter this situation in the future...
"Okay, take the bills and go back quickly!" Lin Lu said with emotion.
It’s not easy!
After finishing their work, the sadness on the brother and sister's faces gradually disappeared, and they looked much better.
"...Thank you, uncle. The good man is safe."
After saying that, the two siblings bowed to everyone in Shuangshan Brigade and left.
The people from Shuangshan Brigade followed them out of the grain station.
