Chapter 546: Bragging Contest
"Practice on the weekend?" Cao Xiaoyu whispered, "Is that okay?"
Du Xiaojuan affirmed: "Of course, I'll apply for you. If there's no one around then you won't be nervous."
Cao Xiaoyu glanced at the loudspeaker placed by the window and her heart began to beat fast.
"...But, I'm nervous," she whispered.
Du Xiaojuan had never seen such a timid comrade and didn't know what expression to show.
"Try again, and we'll talk if it doesn't work."
No! I don't want to try.
I'm not very good at it either.
Cao Xiaoyu first denied herself in her heart.
That lack of confidence was also revealed on his face.
Du Xiaojuan felt helpless seeing her resistance.
"You are now a broadcaster at the cotton mill radio station. It is your job to broadcast on time. There is no point in running away. You can only face the challenge head-on."
"As a nation-builder, how could you be frightened by such a small difficulty?"
"Backing off is shameful. I hope you will bravely shoulder your responsibilities and not let the organization down."
She spoke with a slightly heavier tone.
Cao Xiaoyu felt that he had disappointed the organization and his face turned pale again.
Compared to when I was in school, I would feel very uncomfortable if I couldn’t come up with an answer when the math teacher called on me to answer a question.
She lowered her head, her eyes suddenly turned red, and her heart was in a mess.
All kinds of emotions came flooding back.
-
On the same day, in the afternoon, at Shuangshan Brigade.
It's getting dark.
Lin Zhicheng, who went to school, still didn't go home.
The Lin family members didn't see anyone coming, and they began to feel uneasy.
Seeing that it was almost dark, Li Xiuli worriedly asked, "Why hasn't Zhicheng come back yet? I don't know if the teacher stayed late, or if he was so busy playing on the way that he forgot to go home."
If he doesn't go home on time after school, his father will give him a scolding when he comes back.
Lin Lu was also worried and kept looking at the door.
But he said, "Don't scare yourself. Zhicheng is a smart guy, he will be fine."
Lin Zhixuan, Lin Zhiming and Lin Fei sat on the eaves of the gate, three pairs of eyes staring into the distance.
Hopefully their big brother will show up soon.
Lin Lu pretended to be calm and sat there for a while, but couldn't help but stand up.
"No, I can't sit down anymore."
"Wife, you cook first. I'll go pick up the eldest grandson."
Li Xiuli went back to the house and took out a flashlight, handed it to him and said, "Hold the flashlight, otherwise it will get dark later and you won't be able to see the road."
"Hey!" Lin Lu responded and left in a hurry.
Li Xiuli watched his back disappear, her heart beating wildly.
I always feel like something bad is going to happen.
"...I hope nothing happens to Zhicheng?" she murmured.
Thinking of this, I couldn't sit still anymore and hurried to the door.
"Zhiming, look after Zhixuan and Xiaofei'er. Your grandfather and I are looking for your eldest brother. It's getting dark, so don't run around. Do you hear me?"
Lin Zhiming nodded, "Don't worry, grandma. I promise to take good care of my younger brother and sister and won't go anywhere."
Lin Zhixuan and Lin Fei noticed that Li Xiuli's face looked strange, but she was not noisy at all. They nodded obediently and sat on the eaves of the door hand in hand.
"Grandma, we'll be waiting for you right here!"
"Yeah, let's be good."
Li Xiuli was relieved about her children. She rubbed the heads of the three little ones one by one and hurried out the door.
Heading straight towards Uncle Lin's house.
She was anxious and walked very fast on the road, and soon arrived at the captain's house.
"Sister-in-law."
He shouted as he walked in.
Gao Ping heard her sister-in-law's voice and came out of the kitchen.
I even forgot to put down the spoon in my hand.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? You sound anxious. What happened?" she asked hurriedly.
Li Xiuli didn't waste any time and asked directly, "Sister-in-law, have your Tiedan and Choudouer come back?"
When Gao Ping heard her sister-in-law asking about her grandsons, she thought the two boys were in trouble.
He shouted towards Lin Baoguo and Guo Xiu's house, "Tiedan, Choudou'er, you two, come out quickly! Have you caused me trouble again?"
Lin Aiguo heard his mother's loud voice and slowly walked out of the house.
First she called Li Xiuli, "Second Aunt."
Then he looked at Gao Ping, his tone full of gloating.
"Mom, what's up with Tiedan and Choudou'er again? Did they light someone else's corn leaves? Or did they forget to do their homework again?"
Gao Ping felt her eyes hurt when she saw him watching the fun without caring about the trouble.
"Look at what you look like. Don't you act like an elder?"
He is a good young man, but he doesn't know how to stand or sit properly, and he acts like a ruffian. It's so annoying.
Lin Aiguo chuckled and rolled his eyes, "Haha, whoever wants this nephew who's always digging holes for his elders can take it away."
Remembering that he had just delivered the sauce that day, he wanted to go home and have a good sleep.
Passing by the big tree at the entrance of the village, a few kids were playing.
While playing, he suddenly started bragging.
One said, "My brother can lift a sack of corn. He's stronger than an old ox."
One said, "My father could punch through a wolf with one punch."
The other one was not convinced, "Humph, my mother can eat twenty buns in one breath."
…
After bragging, the kids looked very proud.
As if he had done something particularly great.
They all looked at Tiedan and Choudouer who did not brag.
The two boys of the Lin family didn't dare to brag about their grandparents and parents, so they could only use their third uncle who was not often at home as a tool.
Tiedan blushed and howled, "My Third Uncle loves to eat shit!!"
There was silence for a few seconds, and then suddenly there was a burst of laughter.
"Hahahaha, Tiedan's third uncle loves to eat shit."
...Lin Aiguo heard these words clearly.
His face turned dark at that moment.
After coming to his senses, he howled.
“I don’t like eating shit!!!”
What a rotten kid.
What made Lin Aiguo most angry was that after this incident, the news that he loved to eat shit spread throughout the brigade, and he was completely embarrassed.
This is all because of those two nephews who are so filial to him that they want to kill him.
I have nothing to do on a day and I love to brag.
You can brag all you want, but why do you have to brag about him eating shit? Is shit something that humans can eat?!
Damn it, I’m so angry!
My mind explodes!
Thinking of being teased by the villagers one after another, the smile on Lin Aiguo's face completely disappeared.
Really, give it to whoever wants it to these two filial nephews.
Tired!
After Lin Aiguo finished speaking, Tiedan and Choudouer appeared silently behind him.
The two little ones looked at him with frowns.
Expression of dissatisfaction.
"We are from the Lin family, we are not going anywhere!"
After expressing the firm position of the Lin family, Tiedan spoke eloquently.
"If Third Uncle doesn't want to stay at home anymore, just become a live-in son-in-law. That way, you'll belong to someone else's family. What else do you have to worry about?"
Lin Aiguo: “…”
puff!
I almost vomited blood.
He covered his chest and his body was shaking.
"My chest hurts, I can't take it anymore, I can't control myself..." I felt the urge to hit someone.
When Lin Zhijin saw that he had made his uncle so angry, his heart skipped a beat.
He hurried over to support him.
Let Lin Aiguo put his hand on his head and use it as a crutch.
