Chapter 517: Openly Complaining (Updated)
People in the countryside live under great pressure and have no other hobbies except smoking.
There were no cigarette tickets, and cigarettes were a rare commodity, so most people had never even smelled a real cigarette.
If I catch one now, I'll smell it so much.
"Uncle Lin is too polite. It's all my duty. If it weren't for your Tangtang, we wouldn't be able to live a good life."
The other person nodded in agreement.
"Yes, this time last year we were still worried about the shriveled corn in the fields.
This year our corn cobs are big and the corn kernels are... plump.
Not to mention that every family can still eat meat once every two months, this is a life that even a god wouldn’t change.”
A wife, children and a warm bed are the happiest days.
"Tangtang bought a thresher for the team, and now everyone can relax a lot.
Once we thresh all the corn in our brigade, maybe we can use this machine to trade for some goodies from other brigades."
The last words were said by a smart young man in the village.
Everyone present was stunned.
I feel like this gave them new ideas.
yes.
They have machines, so their efficiency is definitely much faster than other teams.
This machine is just sitting there anyway, it would be even better if I could exchange it for some other local specialties.
This is called making the best use of things!
Lin Lu patted the young man's shoulder and praised him, "That's a good idea! You can mention it to the captain."
Young people have active minds!
When the young man heard that he was praised by Wenquxing's father, he felt a little elated.
After delivering the things, all the men in the village went back to their homes, and the Lin family also turned around and returned to the yard.
Zhou Mei tutted her words and said, "...I've lived for over twenty years, and I've never seen anyone in the village prepare a dowry for any girl. Tangtang still has the most impressive stuff."
Lin Qingshui agreed with this and felt both proud and dissatisfied about it.
Proud because their sister deserves it; dissatisfied because the villagers took away their brother's business.
"Tangtang has done so many good things for the village, it's normal for everyone to want to show their appreciation."
The only bad thing was that the dowry they prepared for Tangtang did not include furniture.
Lin Lu and Li Xiuli did not expect that they would be confused by the villagers' actions.
Li Xiuli was afraid that her family would talk nonsense outside, so she said seriously, "Alright, don't talk nonsense outside, and don't tell Tangtang about this for now, so that she doesn't feel psychologically burdened."
The Lin family didn't intend to show off this, so they nodded decisively.
Even the younger ones in the family nodded seriously, keeping Li Xiuli's words in mind.
None of the Lin family members, including the villagers, said a word about these things, so Lin Tang didn't know about it.
After finishing the thresher, she began to work on the reciprocating cam.
I went to the Agricultural Machinery Institute three times and went to the department store several times... before I finally gathered all the necessary parts.
If you really need it, just replace it in the system.
Lin Tang thinks about everything before doing anything. She not only wants to make a suitable reciprocating cam, but also wants to make sure that it can be installed in the machine, so she needs a lot of things.
It took two days to make the reciprocating cam.
Before sending the things back to the cotton textile factory, Lin Tang took advantage of the weekend to return to the village.
In addition to the reciprocating cam, there are also some machines, parts and so on. Lin Tang plans to go home and get a cart.
I was busy late that day and got home after seven o'clock.
It was already dark by then.
The Lin family was about to go to the grain drying ground to work, and they were all surprised to see Lin Tang coming back at this time.
Li Xiuli put down what she was holding and asked with concern, "Tangtang, why are you back now? Have you eaten? If not, I'll make you something. We thought you wouldn't be coming back today."
"Mom, don't worry, I've eaten." Lin Tang replied.
After saying that, he looked at Lin Lu and asked about the business.
"Dad, I remember you made a new cart some time ago. Can I take it to the county?"
Lin Lu agreed immediately, "What's wrong with that? Is one enough?
If it’s not enough, I’ll make another one. Your brothers are all here, so it will only take a little time to fix.”
It was a rare occasion that Tangtang asked him to do something, so he was very excited.
Seeing her father about to grab the tools, and her older brothers about to stand up and start working, Lin Tang nodded quickly, "That's enough, one is enough."
Lin Lu looked disappointed. "...One is enough! If you need one next time, just tell me."
Lin Tang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, I understand."
Just then, Lin Zhixuan heard his aunt's voice and ran out of the main house.
Seeing that Lin Tang really came back, the child's eyes lit up.
Hand her the sketchbook in your hand.
"Aunt, look." Lin Zhixuan said in his milky little voice.
Lin Tang guessed that what his nephew gave him was his sketchbook, so he opened the book and saw that it was indeed his.
Every page is a painting.
The painting style is immature, but already looks pretty good.
You can hardly tell that this was drawn by a little kid under five years old.
"The painting is good." Lin Tang gently pinched Lin Zhixuan's soft little face and encouraged him, "Keep up the good work."
She only has a superficial understanding of painting and cannot offer many constructive suggestions.
I can only say that Zhixuan's paintings are very comfortable and give people a warm feeling full of love and happiness.
After being praised, Lin Zhixuan smiled with his little baby teeth showing.
Not knowing what he was thinking about, he turned around and looked at Lin Qingshan and Ning Xinrou, his wet eyes full of grievance.
"Aunt, I want to go to class, but Mom and Dad won't let me go!!"
When speaking, little Zhixuan pouted his lips, and his baby voice was full of accusations and dissatisfaction.
"Ah?" Lin Tang was surprised.
Knowing that something must have happened, she looked suspicious.
"Brother, sister-in-law, you won't let Zhixuan go to class?"
Lin Qingshan was afraid that his sister would misunderstand, so he shook his head repeatedly.
"No!" He washed off the stain that had been inexplicably splashed on him first, and then explained, "A child who was in class at the Cultural Palace went missing the day before yesterday. Everyone searched all morning but couldn't find him...
When I went to pick up Zhixuan that day, the child was nowhere to be found.
Your sister-in-law and I were worried that Zhixuan might get into trouble, so we let him rest at home for a few days. Who knows..."
This kid loves painting more than his old father, so I used this trick on him silently.
He is clearly destroying the image of him and his wife in Tangtang's heart. His intentions are sinister.
Lin Tang frowned slightly, "Brother, do you know that the child was finally found?"
It was Ning Xinrou who answered her, "We found it. I heard that the child ran out to play while the teacher wasn't paying attention, and then fell asleep in the toilet..."
This is quite a confusing matter.
The adults were so anxious that they were running around, while the child was sleeping soundly in the toilet. It was really funny.
Lin Tang was relieved when he heard that the child was fine, "That's good."
She thought there were human traffickers in the county again.
Thinking that Zhixuan would have to go to the county to attend classes more often in the future, Zhicheng also went to school.
Lin Tang once again thought about the children's positioning tracking watch in the system mall.
One is 500 points, and four is 2,000 points.
Buy four watches and get a free positioning pin.
