Chapter 748: Return to Taohua Town for the Festival
As National Day arrives, Taohua Town is decorated with lights and lanterns.
The trees are hung with red ribbons.
This is the 35th National Day, which coincides with an integer, and the whole country is filled with joy.
The car drove into Taohua Town.
The road is wide and straight, with trees, flowers and plants planted on both sides, exuding vigorous vitality.
The most eye-catching thing is that there are magnificent and beautiful two-story buildings on both sides of the road.
The walls are covered with white porcelain, which looks clean and bright.
Every household has a yard and a balcony.
Occasionally, you can see a dark-skinned old man lying on a lounge chair on the balcony, humming a piece of opera...
The daily life is really enviable.
On both sides of the road, children were carrying brand new school bags. One was holding dry noodles, another was holding spicy snacks, and there was another holding a glass bottle of yogurt...
The children's faces were filled with bright smiles.
It’s very comfortable to look at!
Gu Mujing and Gu Mulin opened the car windows and stared outside without blinking.
"Mom, our hometown is not bad!" As soon as I heard this, I knew the person who was speaking was Gu Mulin.
Lin Tang glanced at his son indifferently.
Without saying a word, the boy immediately sat up straight.
"Don't climb through the car windows when you're in the car," Lin Tang emphasized again before continuing, "This place used to be very shabby. The roads were muddy, and every household's house was made of mud and stone. There were no supermarkets, not even retail stores. If you wanted to buy something, you had to go to the county reception office and buy more..."
These memories are not distant to her.
Therefore, it is smooth to say it.
The twins listened attentively.
Gu Mujing's eyebrows were serious, and his eyes were filled with heartache. "Mom must have had a hard time back then."
"..." Lin Tang nodded, "It is indeed hard work."
But there is joy in every hardship!
When Gu Mulin thought about what his mother said, those days that seemed so far away when he had nothing and wanted nothing, his vision went dark.
Then, he set his eyes on Gu Yingzhou.
"Dad, what about you? Where were you when my mom was suffering?"
Gu Yingzhou: “…” Why does he still look like he’s going to settle the score with him? This ripped jacket!
Lin Tang didn't know whether to feel happy for her son's thoughtfulness or to shed sad tears for her husband.
He reached out and rubbed A Lin's head, "Don't make your dad angry, or you'll get beaten!"
Gu Mulin took Lin Tang's arm.
"I'm not angry, I just feel bad for Mom." After saying some sweet words, the boy blinked his beautiful eyes, "Besides, Mom will protect me, right?"
Although he is only in his teens, he is really handsome and delicate. When he acts coquettishly, he is sweet and natural.
Lin Tang snorted softly and said deliberately, "I think you think you'll have a backer soon."
The twins are smart and cute. They were raised by several elders in the family. If it weren't for Lin Tang and Gu Yingzhou to keep them under control, the two little brats would have caused a lot of trouble.
"Ah." Gu Mulin raised his fist and hit Lin Tang's arm, "No way, I don't think so!"
Gu Yingzhou chuckled, "That's right! Ah Lin always knows his limits. After all, you can't stay here forever."
The deep dark eyes stared straight at Gu Mulin, causing the latter's body to stiffen.
I didn't know what my mom meant when she said my dad was mean and stingy, but suddenly, I don't understand...
The car stopped and the twins got out, and were surrounded by several old men and women.
Grandpa Gu patted A Lin's shoulder with a smile and said, "My dear great-grandson is back. He looks thinner. Eat more during the holidays."
"Grandpa Zeng, I miss you so much~!" Gu Mulin launched a sweet talk offensive.
Mr. Ruan held Gu Mujing's hand and said, "How are you, Jing? Are your studies going well? I heard that you participated in the calligraphy competition. Well done!"
"It's all thanks to my great-grandfather's good teaching." Gu Mujing said calmly and seriously, "I just have some questions that I need your answers to. After dinner, I'll go to the study to ask my great-grandfather, is that okay?"
Mr. Ruan liked him very much and nodded repeatedly.
"well!"
…
Lin Tang and Gu Yingzhou became background characters.
The couple didn't care and went into the Lin family obediently.
Behind, the driver took out bags from the trunk and quickly followed.
After the family exchanged greetings, most of the day passed.
Lin Tang called out to Ning Xinrou who was about to go to the kitchen to help, "Sister-in-law, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
Ning Xinrou stayed.
She looked puzzled, "What's going on?"
Lin Tang took out the photo that Tang Kairui brought back and said, "Sister-in-law, take a look at this first. Do you remember the person in the photo?"
Ning Xinrou took the photo and looked at it for a few seconds, her eyes instantly blurred.
"This, this is..." Her lips trembled slightly, and she couldn't find her voice for a long time.
He just looked at Lin Tang expectantly with those eyes.
When Lin Tang saw his sister-in-law's expression, he knew everything.
She nodded and then explained everything one by one.
Ning Xinrou didn't say a word, she covered her mouth and tears fell down.
That look of forbearance and grievance scared Lin Qingshan and the brothers Zhicheng and Zhixuan.
"Wife." Lin Qingshan called out worriedly.
Lin Zhicheng, who was about to become an adult, looked completely different. He had a strong body and a firm gaze.
He looked at Lin Tang and said in a steady voice, "Aunt, my mother..."
Lin Tang waved his hand, "Don't worry, your mother is happy."
How can I not be happy when I found my relatives?!
When she first realized that she was back, she was almost as excited as Fan Jin who passed the imperial examination.
Perhaps because painters have soft and delicate minds, Lin Zhixuan immediately guessed the reason why Ning Xinrou was like this.
The young man in white, as delicate as a jade-like young man, had a flash of light in his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Aunt, is there any news about my mother's relatives?"
Lin Tang looked at his pretty little face so close to him, and his eyes flashed.
This child is getting more and more exquisite!
She pinched Lin Zhixuan's little face and said, "Yes, Zhixuan is really smart."
I heard that Zhixuan looks like his uncle, but I don’t know what his uncle looks like?
Gu Yingzhou saw what Lin Tang was thinking and his face darkened for a moment.
Lin Zhicheng's eyes lit up, and he squatted in front of Ning Xinrou, looking up at her, "Mom, is what my aunt said true?"
Ning Xinrou, still so happy that she couldn't control her tears, nodded randomly.
Lin Zhicheng said: "That's a good thing. There's no need to cry about good things. You should be happy. You will be able to see your uncle and others soon..."
Lin Qingshan also comforted him, "That's right, Zhicheng is right. It's a holiday, a rare family reunion, be happy. If your father-in-law and mother-in-law saw you like this, they would think I wronged you."
That is...his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law all came back from wealthy places like Hong Kong City. I wonder if they look down on him, a son-in-law from the countryside?
Ning Xinrou burst into laughter and patted Lin Qingshan's arm embarrassedly.
"What nonsense! My parents and my brothers are all gentle and kind. They won't misunderstand others. What's more, you have taken such good care of me over the years. They can only thank you."
She had a good idea.
In the Ning family’s mind, as long as their only beloved daughter is still alive, they can accept anything else!
