Chapter 356: Deep Roots Downward, Blooming Upward
Lin Tang: “…”
Is she...disliked by her mother?
Lin Tang responded and took Tang Kairui out.
The village has a new road and the overall appearance has been completely renewed.
There are no more stones and animal feces on the road, it is much cleaner.
Not only that, the sauce factory is thriving, and everyone has hope. There is no sadness on their faces, and they are full of positive and enterprising spirit.
A new pond has been dug at the entrance of the village, and they plan to hire someone to raise fish.
I planted lotus flowers a while ago, and now they are in full bloom, with lotus petals blooming out of the water.
"Time flies so fast, and the village has changed a lot..." Lin Tang sighed.
When she first came back, the village was like most villages, and everyone just wanted to have three meals a day.
Now I have started to think about other needs.
The corners of Tang Kairui's lips curled up slightly.
"You've been working for several months now. With so many people busy in the village, there must be a lot of changes."
He laughed in his heart. Perhaps this silly little girl Lin Xiaotang didn't know that she had already become the backbone of the villagers.
It’s not difficult to understand. After all, Lin Xiaotang is the one who helps them live a good life.
"That's what you said." Lin Tang smiled.
Tang Kairui looked at the genuine smile on her face and suddenly asked, "...Are you happy to see the village getting better?"
"Are you unhappy?" Lin Tang asked back.
"Of course I'm happy too." Tang Kairui replied.
He was silent for a few seconds and then said, "I want to ask, is it your ideal to lead the villagers to a better life?"
Otherwise, why would Lin Xiaotang, who already has a job and a bright future, try so hard to find a way out for the village?!
Tang Kairui wanted to understand Lin Tang and get closer to her heart.
I want to be with her and fulfill her dream.
That should be interesting!
"Ideal?" Lin Tang smiled, then shook his head, "It can't be called an ideal."
“It’s just a matter of following the flow.”
"The team needed a change, and I just happened to know some recipes for making sauce. It wasn't intentional, I just happened to catch up."
She's not that noble.
Whether it was proposing to build a sauce factory or repairing a road, it was the brigade that took the lead. She just came up with an idea.
Tang Kairui was slightly startled when he heard this, and then he laughed.
"Lin Xiaotang, you'll never learn to be tactful."
He is always so honest and straightforward, which makes people feel soft-hearted.
Lin Tang retorted.
"It's the same for you, isn't it? What is is what is.
The bigger the lie you tell, the harder it is to cover up. You can fool others but not yourself.
Don’t you think so?”
The smile on Tang Kairui's face deepened.
That little canine tooth almost showed again.
He realized it in time and quickly suppressed his smile.
"I think so too!" He said seriously, "Lin Xiaotang, you're doing very well. I hope you won't change for the rest of your life."
Lin Tang rolled his eyes and snorted.
"You wish!"
"Time doesn't pass, water doesn't flow? How can I not change?"
"I'm already growing very slowly, so could you please be kind and hope for me to get better?"
As she spoke, her face showed a slight annoyance.
She looks indescribably pretty.
Tang Kairui was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He looked down at Lin Tang.
Seeing that she was not even up to his chin.
His eyes were filled with smiles. "Well, it is indeed a little short."
Having said that, before Lin Tang could get angry, he changed the subject.
"But you're not even eighteen yet, so you should still be able to grow. Eating more meat could add a few more centimeters."
Lin Tang said he felt a little comforted.
She is not greedy and just wants to grow to 1.65 meters.
Don’t be like in your previous life, barely over 1.6 meters tall.
"You can talk."
After walking around the village, Lin Tang raised his wrist to check the time.
It's time for lunch break.
"It's getting late. I need to go back and rest. You should go back too and stop wandering around."
After saying that, Lin Tang waved his hand and went home.
Tang Kairui looked at her leaving back, an uncontrollable smile on his handsome face.
The little canine tooth popped out again.
The backs of those leaving exuded an indescribable joy.
Tang family.
Tang Xue frowned slightly when she saw her son just came back.
"Where have you been? Why are you back just now? There's still rice in the pot."
She didn't like her son playing with people in the village because her family was different from those in the village.
Tang Kairui knew what was wrong with his mother.
To put it nicely, it's being aloof; to put it bluntly, it's being clueless.
Tang Kairui said calmly, "I've eaten."
Tang Xue looked suspicious and inquiring.
"I have eaten. Where did you eat?"
"I helped Brother Lin Er with a favor, and his family treated me to a meal." Tang Kairui explained.
"It's Lin Tang's family." Tang Xue's disgust disappeared immediately, and she gave a fair evaluation, "That little girl is not bad."
In the entire brigade, there are only a few girls she likes, and Lin Tang is one of them.
Tang Kairui sneered, his tone slightly sarcastic.
"That's not what you said before."
This is when Lin Tang just "failed the exam" and had not yet become the pride of the entire team.
Tang Xue felt a little embarrassed after being exposed so ruthlessly by her son.
"...Then there was nothing about Lin Tang that I could praise before." She retorted.
Don’t say that Lin Tang is good at studying, there are many girls who are good at studying.
How could she boast enough?
Tang Kairui was speechless.
Went straight back to the room.
No more words!
Anyway, he always finds a way to make sense.
Tang Xue was dissatisfied.
Said to Tang's father: "Look at your good son."
You are becoming more and more disrespectful.
Although he showed dissatisfaction on the surface, he was extremely satisfied in his heart that he had such a smart and good-looking son.
Tang's father spread his hands and said calmly, "Kai Rui didn't say anything, so why make such a big deal out of it?"
Tang Xue pinched him angrily.
Tang Kairui was unaware of his parents' conversation and was lying on the bed.
Not knowing what he was thinking about, the young man suddenly sat up.
He pulled a notebook from the bedside table.
The cover of the book had the elegant Chinese characters "Lin Tang" written on it.
The notebook is ordinary.
Just turn over a page and you will find that it is full of high school knowledge points.
This was the birthday present Lin Tang gave Tang Kairui on his birthday in his first year of high school.
Thinking of the helplessness he felt when he first received this birthday gift, the boy slammed his body on the bed, covered his eyes with his arms, and raised the corners of his mouth high.
Only Lin Xiaotang would think of giving away his notes as a birthday gift.
The most frustrating thing is——
Among so many gifts, this one became his favorite.
Tang Kairui turned to the first page of the notebook.
There is a line of words written on it.
"No matter where you are, no matter what situation you find yourself in, keep your eyes fixed on the morning sun, plant your roots deep below, and blossom upwards."
This should be the message the little girl sent to herself.
Tang Kairui stroked the words with his fingertips and murmured, "Lin Xiaotang, you finally became the person you wanted to be. I'm happy for you."
The other side.
Lin Tang returned home, washed his face, and went back to his room to get ready for bed.
Suddenly a familiar cry was heard.
"Uncle, aunt, my mother has been arrested by the Public Security Bureau. Please save her!"
Lin Xiaojing's voice was flustered and frightened, which scared everyone in the second branch of the Lin family out.
