Chapter 129: I Will Come Back Across Thousands of Mountains and Rivers (Additional Update)
Gu Yingzhou felt the gazes falling on him.
The next second, he stopped smiling and quickly left the spot.
Lin Tang had already left the county and was riding his bicycle, rushing home like a flash.
On the way, she glanced at her legs.
I silently decided to double the milk at night.
I’ll try to blind that man’s titanium dog eyes the next time I meet him.
The thought flashed through my mind.
When Lin Tang thought of his family, he pedaled faster.
After bumping around for about ten minutes, with her butt almost broken into pieces, she saw a familiar figure in front of her.
It’s Liu Guohui.
Lin Tang ignored him and quickened his pace.
It passed him in an instant.
Liu Guohui also saw Lin Tang.
He was stunned for a moment, looking at the bicycle Lin Tang was riding, his face twisted with soreness.
"Lin Tang, stop!" Liu Guohui shouted.
He didn't know why he called Lin Tang.
Maybe I'm still unwilling to give in.
He was unwilling to be fired from the factory.
His childhood sweetheart, unwilling to be rejected by him, lived a better life than him.
…
Lin Tang heard the voice, but ignored the person behind him.
No matter how Liu Guohui yelled, she didn't stop.
He disappeared in a short while.
Liu Guohui was so angry that he went crazy in the back.
"..." Why are you running so fast? Do you think he's a mad dog?
Another ten minutes passed.
Lin Tang arrived not far from the village entrance.
My butt hurts so much after such a bumpy ride.
Lin Tang quickly got off the bicycle and pushed it towards the village.
It's too painful to ride a bike on this road.
As I was walking, suddenly an old woman rushed over.
He grabbed her arm, his skinny body trembling slightly.
"Little girl, have you seen my son?
My son is tall, dark and thin, sensible and filial.
But I lost my son...
If you have seen my son, tell me and I will go find him.
Have you seen him?
The old man's hair was completely white, and his weathered eyes looked at Lin Tang longingly, his eyes filled with tears.
It was as if Lin Tang’s answer carried all her hopes.
Lin Tang knew this old woman.
This is an elderly widower in the village.
Her surname is Yang, her husband's surname is Xiao, and they have a son named Xiao Heping.
The villagers called her Grandma Yang.
Grandma Yang lost her husband early in life and her son later in life, and lives alone.
Fortunately, the brigade allocated food to her from each family every year, otherwise I don’t know what she would have done now.
Lin Tang's arms were pinched by Grandma Yang so hard that it hurt, but she didn't say a word.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the old man's face, comforting him with a smile.
"Grandma Yang, don't be anxious.
Although I don’t know where Uncle Heping is, I believe he will come back.
You said it yourself, Uncle Heping is sensible and filial, he will not leave you alone.
Maybe Uncle Ping is out on a mission, so he doesn't have time to come back.
You also know that you can't tell much to your family when you are on a mission. Maybe he is thinking about you from afar.
You have to take good care of yourself first, so that Uncle Ping can be at ease!"
The Uncle Heping she mentioned is Grandma Yang’s only son Xiao Heping.
Xiao Heping joined the army more than ten years ago, and I have always heard that he is doing well in the army.
But, there are unexpected changes in the world.
A few years ago, a death certificate suddenly arrived in the village.
It is said that Xiao Heping died.
A pension was also provided.
When Grandma Yang heard the news, she fainted immediately.
After waking up, he was unwilling to accept this fact, and he became sometimes lucid and sometimes crazy.
Later, he would catch people from time to time and ask about her son, saying that he wanted to take his son home.
When Granny Yang heard Lin Tang's words, she grabbed her hand instead of her arm.
"...Girl, do you believe what I said? Do you also believe that you and Uncle Ping are not... not dead?" The old man asked this question with trembling lips.
Lin Tang then realized that Grandma Yang had always stubbornly believed that her son had not died.
This belief may be her only motivation to live.
She hesitated for a moment and nodded seriously.
"Of course. If a person misses his beloved family, he will definitely come back even if it means crossing thousands of mountains and rivers."
Even if I can't come back, I will accompany you in another way.
This is something she actually experienced.
Lin Tang thought that if Uncle Heping were still alive, he would definitely come back.
If he unfortunately dies, the brigade will also take care of the hero's mother until the end of her life.
This is the consensus of the entire Shuangshan Brigade.
Otherwise, Grandma Yang would not have survived the famine.
When Grandma Yang heard Lin Tang's answer, she was shocked.
It felt like all the tense muscles in my body relaxed.
Suddenly, a hopeful smile appeared on his face.
It makes people feel sad.
Feng Liujin, who had been following Grandma Yang, was worried that something might happen to the old woman. When he saw this scene, his eyes became slightly sore.
Tangtang from the Lin family is really nice.
It’s a pity that when his son fell into the water, he didn’t meet a good person like Tangtang.
Lin Tang noticed a sight, looked over, and said, "Uncle Liujin, why are you here?"
Feng Liujin came back to his senses and smiled gently.
"I was about to go home when I saw Aunt Yang walking towards the village entrance alone. I was worried something might happen, so I followed her."
Everyone will grow old, and every family has elderly people.
Now that he has seen it, he cannot avoid it.
Granny Yang looked dazed for a moment and let go of Lin Tang's hand.
"Thank you for your concern, Liujin. I, an old woman, have caused trouble to everyone." The old woman said hesitantly.
She knew that she had caused trouble to the village in recent years.
Feng Liujin felt that Grandma Yang seemed to be much more alert and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's no trouble, no trouble. Just take care of yourself."
This is what he really thinks.
There are so many people in the brigade, we can’t let the hero’s mother shed tears and blood.
Grandma Yang's eyes turned red and she looked at Lin Tang with a vicissitudes of life look.
"Whose family is this little girl from? Why haven't I seen her before?"
The old lady was in a coma for several years, sometimes lucid and sometimes confused, and no one in the brigade could remember her clearly.
Feng Liujin smiled and said, "This is Aunt Zhao's granddaughter, the daughter of the Lin Lu family."
Granny Yang thought about it and was stunned for a moment before she realized who he was talking about.
"It's Shuzhen's, it's already this big.
I won’t waste your time, just get busy…”
After the old lady finished speaking, she staggered back home.
Feng Liujin was a little worried, so he said something to Lin Tang and followed Grandma Yang to see the person off.
Lin Tang watched the two of them leave and pushed his bicycle home.
After walking a few steps, I ran into Liu Jiaojiao.
Liu Jiaojiao had been working in the fields for most of the day and was now covered in dirt.
Seeing the glamorous Lin Tang, Liu Jiaojiao was stunned.
I just felt that the girl in front of me was very strange.
Lin Tang was wearing new clothes, small leather shoes, and even a precious item like a bicycle.
As for her, her previous pride seemed like a joke.
Liu Jiaojiao clenched her clothes tightly with her fingers, and fled without even daring to look at Lin Tang.
Lin Tang didn't have any extra reaction, his heart had already flown back home.
The pain in her butt eased a little and she got on the bike again.
The roads in the village are dirt roads, bumpy and made of either stone or wood.
Riding a bicycle is so bumpy.
"Tangtang?" A familiar cheerful voice came from behind.
