Chapter 200: Can the iron box sing?
Lin Tang shook her head, blinked, and asked coquettishly, "No, guess again, be bolder, what does Dad want most?"
Lin Lu was still thinking.
Lin Qingmu directly exposed Lin's father's secrets.
"The thing Dad is thinking about the most must be something big, a bicycle, right?"
If she had a bicycle, my sister could go home more often.
He thought maybe it was a bicycle ticket?
Lin Tang smiled and said, "Close enough, guess again?"
Li Xiuli is Lin Lu's bedmate and knows him best.
Of course, I know that what he cares about most is to have a radio in his home that he had seen at the Jiang family.
The head of the family does the work of farming, but he is concerned about the affairs of the country.
Ever since he heard the national policy being discussed on the radio, he would mention it from time to time, expressing his disappointment that the village did not receive the news in a timely manner.
Li Xiuli glanced at Lin Lu and said in disbelief, "...Could it be a radio?"
She knew radios were difficult to work with.
This was said more as a joke.
Zhou Mei's eyes lit up, and she took a stool and sat next to Lin Tang.
"Tangtang, did mom guess right? It can't really be a radio, right? We have a radio so soon?" He fell into self-satisfaction as soon as he opened his mouth.
As I spoke, I began to believe what I said.
My face turned red with excitement.
Lin Tang: “…” I suspect you put a camera in my bag.
Lin Qingmu became anxious and rubbed Lin Tang's head.
"Hurry up and tell me, my parents are worried."
The others looked at him with intense eyes, which were filled with extraordinary anticipation.
Lin Tang smiled and took out the radio from his bag and put it on the table.
"Ding ding ding, mom guessed it right, it's the radio."
She said this lightly.
But it was like sweeping the Lin family's hearts with a broom, leaving them in a mess.
I don’t know how long it took.
Lin Lu moved his stiff body.
He reached out and touched the radio with extreme caution and cherishment.
"...It's really a radio!" His mouth corners raised high with joy.
It just feels like a dream!
"It's true!" Lin Tang smiled slightly.
She flipped a switch.
There was a 'hissing...' sound coming from the radio.
Adjusted the antenna above.
A clear singing voice came from inside.
The Lin family had never heard this song, they just thought it was nice.
Catchy and easy to learn.
"The East is Red, the Sun is Rising..."
Lin Lu and Li Xiuli had seen the sound made by this iron lump at Jiang's house, so although they were excited at the moment, their expressions were still normal.
Zhou Mei seldom goes to the county and is truly a person who has never seen the world.
Hearing Tiegeda suddenly singing, he was so startled that he pulled Lin Qingshui back as if by reflex.
She was mentally prepared to step back and kept her body steady.
However, Lin Qingshui was not mentally prepared at all.
Being pulled for no apparent reason.
He was actually pulled so hard that he fell on his butt.
There was a "dong..."
The man gritted his teeth in pain as his sensitive part hit the stone on the ground.
My whole face is in bad shape!
Lin Qingshui: "..." All the pits he fell into were dug by his wife.
Zhou Mei met the man's gloomy eyes and felt guilty.
"Well, father, I didn't mean to do it. I was just scared. I'll learn it the second time, and I won't do it again..." She explained guiltily as she helped Lin Qingshui up.
Lin Qingshui: "..." Do you want there to be a next time?
"Okay, stop talking and listen to some music." Lin Qingshui interrupted Zhou Mei, feeling so painful that he wanted to curse.
Zhou Mei knew she was in trouble, so she shut up awkwardly and behaved very well.
The woman sat solemnly on a wooden stool, her hands on her knees, listening quietly to the radio.
After she stopped making noise, the whole yard became quiet.
Everyone listened to the song attentively.
The four little ones came forward curiously.
Several little bald heads were half lying on the table, staring at the strange thing that made the sound, with gleams in their eyes.
The iron box can also sing...
So amazing!
Having a radio at home has greatly affected the Lin family's enthusiasm for rest.
The whole family couldn't stop listening to the radio.
Anyone who dared to speak would be shot with a deathly gaze by the others.
Lin Tang felt helpless.
She hasn't even mentioned that she has a letter of introduction for driving lessons.
I should have said this earlier if I had known this.
Forget it, let’s talk about it tomorrow.
-
In the county, in the government compound, at the Ji family's house.
Ji Yao lay weakly on the bed.
Ji Su was holding a small basin in his hand, which contained yellowish and slightly sour vomit.
"...Are you feeling better? Drink some water first." Chen Lan half-supported Ji Yao, wiped the little girl's mouth and fed her water.
Ji Yao felt a sudden pain in her stomach.
Empty and uncomfortable.
Ji Su frowned slightly.
"Isn't it better now? Why are you vomiting again?"
The man wet the towel, walked over and gently wiped his daughter's face.
Ji Yao vomited so much that she felt weak all over and looked listless.
Hearing this, he held his parents' hands, his voice weak.
"...Dad, Mom, I'm fine. I'll be fine after a short sleep. Don't worry."
How could Shen Lan not be worried?
My daughter has been eating and sleeping well these days, and her pale little face has finally become a little rosy.
I just finished eating the food I brought from Qingqing's house, and now I'm vomiting again...
"Go to sleep, mom is here with you."
Chen Lan helped her daughter lie down and tucked the quilt for her.
After the little girl fell asleep, the couple left the room.
Ji Su poured two glasses of water and handed one to his wife.
"Yaoyao was able to eat two days ago. It should be related to the food you brought back that day. Can we still get that food?" the man asked.
Shen Lan also felt that her daughter's ability to eat was related to that dish.
But she didn't know whether she could get it.
"Those vegetables were grown by Qingqing's friend. I don't know if they are still available. I'll go ask later." Chen Lan looked worried.
Ji Su saw that his wife's brows were twisted into a knot.
Patted her shoulder.
"Let's ask first. If there's nothing, we can spend some money and ask that family to help plant some... Of course, this is the worst option. We need to understand the situation first to know the specifics."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lan temporarily suppressed the worries in her heart.
"Okay, I'll go find Ah Hui now, you stay home and take care of Yaoyao."
After saying that, he stood up and went to Qin's house.
In less than ten minutes, we arrived at the Qin family compound.
At this moment, the Qin family is at home, and the family is discussing tomorrow's arrangements.
"Ahui, are you home?" Shen Lan shouted.
Hearing a familiar female voice, Qin Qiumu hurried to open the door.
“Aunt Shen, you’re here!”
Shen Lan smiled gracefully, "It's Qiao Mu, your mother is home, right?"
"They are all here." Qin Qiumu replied with a smile.
As they talked, the two of them walked into the house.
When Feng Hui saw her good friend coming, she put down the food in her hand and asked Chen Lan to sit down.
"Lanlan, why are you here at this hour? Where's your Mr. Ji? Why isn't Yaoyao here?"
Shen Lan sat next to her.
"Yaoyao is asleep, and Old Ji is at home taking care of the children."
She said casually, "I came here to ask you something."
Qin Suqing was called out and looked up quickly with a blank look in her eyes.
"ah?"
