Chapter 148 Hearing the sound of slapping
As soon as I saw them.
Everyone's eyes almost popped out.
Looking at the steaming white flour dumplings, my throat rolled violently.
Oh my god.
White flour dumplings!
"Qingshui, Qingmu, you are going to send dumplings to your grandparents and uncles, right? And they are made of white flour, that's so generous!!" Qi Dafa said enviously.
The three brothers of the Lin family are close.
I am willing to give away these white flour dumplings.
Why don't I have such a brother...
Sun Tieshu also sighed: "It must be scallion pork, it smells so good!"
The country people are all starving and their eyes turn red when they hear the word meat, let alone when the meat is right next to them.
Don't look too passionately.
Liu Damei looked at the plump white dumplings and felt both sour and jealous.
"The Lin family's life is not like our village people, who can even eat white flour dumplings.
Well, it’s different when you have a stable job at home.”
As he said this, he slurped his saliva.
Lin Qingmu smiled innocently.
“My second brother and I are just errand runners, this is Tangtang’s way of showing filial piety to the elders.
We brothers are not good enough, so we can only rely on girls. We are so embarrassed! "
He had a simple and honest expression on his face and nothing he said was wrong.
It was that look that showed a hint of arrogance, as if he was not ashamed but proud of it.
It hurts the eyes of those who watch it.
After saying a few words to the uncles, aunts and uncles at the door, the two Lin brothers took their cousin to deliver the dumplings.
They are in a hurry to come back and eat dumplings.
The three younger generations of the Lin family left.
Liu Damei's voice was sour and filled with a deep sigh.
"...Lin Tang is a man who knows how to repay kindness."
It is worthwhile for the Lin family to raise such a daughter.
Qi laughed, as if he heard the sound of someone slapping his face next to him.
"My dear wife Tieshu, what you said is quite embarrassing.
Didn’t you say before that it was useless for girls to study and that they would betray ungrateful people?
What, you changed your mind now?"
The Lin family paid for Lin Tang's schooling, and besides Wu Chunhua, the person who was talked about the most was his wife Tieshu.
Liu Damei's face froze.
He held Lin Tang in his arms neither too lightly nor too heavily.
"That's because Lin Tang is a good girl. If it were someone else, you'd see."
After retorting with a few words, Liu Damei pulled her husband and went home.
I wonder if the Lin family will still learn to drive after dinner?
The departure of Sun Tieshu and his wife did not dampen the enthusiasm of the villagers.
A group of men were excitedly talking about the bicycles they had just seen.
"The three boys from Lin Er's family learned to ride a bike really quickly. They only learned a short while ago, but they all know how to ride a bike now."
"Of course not. In the past, the girls in the village envied Lin Tang for having so many brothers to protect her. Now, I'm afraid the boys in the village will envy the three Qingshan brothers for having a sister like Lin Tang."
"Alas! In such a large team, we only have one girl as amazing as Lin Tang.
Take you for example, if your daughter could study, would your family be willing to tighten their belts to support her?"
The person who spoke shook his head without thinking.
"...It's not up to me to decide!"
When these words came out, the man was stunned.
That’s right, every household in the village has many children, and after the sons get married, they all have their own thoughts.
Who would be willing to keep sending a girl to school?
No other family can compare to the Lin family's unity.
No wonder the Lin family was able to rise.
A harmonious family brings prosperity.
-
Lin Xiaojing took a bowl of dumplings home.
Lin Shou, Zhang Hongyan and Lin Qingya saw it and were a little confused at first.
The third branch of the Lin family had few laborers and received little food.
The family of four planned to save money and wait for the harvest of new grain.
Not to mention white flour, even the black flour should be eaten quickly.
At this moment, when I smelled the fragrance of white flour dumplings, my eyes turned green.
"Xiaojing, where did you get these dumplings?" Lin Qingya asked.
When Lin Xiaojing went to deliver pickled vegetables to Lin Tang, he had not returned yet.
So I didn’t know that my sister had gone to my second uncle’s house before.
Lin Shou didn't know either.
He and his son looked at their daughter with a puzzled look on their faces.
But Zhang Hongyan knew.
The woman frowned tightly and looked at Lin Xiaojing with dissatisfaction.
"This is given to you by your second aunt, how can you have the nerve to accept it?
Every household doesn't have enough food to eat, and this is made of white flour, how could you accept it?!"
If this had happened in the past, Lin Xiaojing would have been moved to tears.
Now she doesn't.
She knew that her mother was targeting the matter, not the person.
I patiently explained it to my family.
After Zhang Hongyan understood, a deep sigh came out of her mouth.
"Qingya, Xiaojing, remember how kind your second uncle's family has been to our family." She said earnestly.
The Lin family is different after all. They are more humane than many other families in the village.
Lin Shou also said: "Your mother is right! Your mother and I don't ask you to achieve much, but as a human being, you should at least know how to be grateful."
Lin Qingya and Lin Xiaojing nodded seriously.
Then, Lin Xiaojing took out the moisturizer her cousin gave her, her face full of joy.
"Mom, this is what Tangtang gave me to wipe my face. Tangtang said she made it herself."
Zhang Hongyan took a look and a faint smile appeared on her face.
“Tangtang is really talented, he can even do this.
If she gives it to you, just take it. If you have anything good, just don’t forget her.”
Lin Xiaojing nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, I plan to make a few pairs of socks for Tangtang."
After the two finished talking, Lin Qingya interrupted and said, "Mom, is it time to eat?"
He couldn't wait to try his second aunt's cooking.
So fragrant!!
Zhang Hongyan smiled and said, "Okay, enough talking, let's eat!"
The other side.
After Lin Qingshui and Lin Qingmu delivered the dumplings, they arrived home and the second pot of dumplings had just come out of the pot.
Lin Tang, like Lin Lu, prefers to eat food with soup.
Li Xiuli made sour soup for the father and daughter, with a small layer of coriander and chili oil on top.
It smells fragrant and spicy.
Lin Lu is the head of the family, so the first bowl must be his.
He picked up the bowl and took a sip of the sour soup.
The taste is amazing.
Lin Lu held the bowl in one hand and gave his wife a thumbs up with the hand holding the chopsticks.
"Wife, what a great cook! You are an amazing cook."
Li Xiuli felt so embarrassed by the praise that her ears turned red.
They are already an old married couple...
She noticed that her children and daughters-in-law were looking at her and the head of the family.
Li Xiuli felt even more awkward.
He glared at Lin Lu and said, "...Hurry up and eat your meal."
Then he looked at Lin Tang.
"Daughter, how do you like the taste? Is it okay?"
Lin Lu had been married to her for many years, so of course he knew that his wife was embarrassed. He smiled and went to the door with the bowl in his hand.
The reason why the rice bowl is brought to the doorstep is mainly because the villagers are not very particular and may come to the house to look at the bicycle.
He sat down at the door, and the men and women in the village felt embarrassed to come in and disturb him.
Of course Lin Tang knew that his mother was trying to change the subject.
She imitated her father, put away her chopsticks and gave a thumbs up.
"Great, really great! It's so sour and spicy, I can eat two bowls.
My mother’s cooking skills are amazing, and the dumplings are even better than those in state-owned restaurants.”
Li Xiuli was coaxed into smiling.
The wrinkles on his face were stained with soft traces.
