Chapter 103: Crying like a 200-pound fat man (plus one more chapter)
Ning Xinrou and Zhou Mei followed their mother-in-law out of the kitchen.
When Ning Xinrou heard Lin Qingshan's words, she looked at Lin Tang with gratitude in her eyes.
I owe my sister-in-law a favor again.
As the eldest son in the family, Qingshan is particularly concerned about the three piglets in the backyard.
I occasionally talk in my sleep at night, and all I talk about is hoping the piglets grow up well and don't get sick.
Now that I have the pig-raising booklet my sister gave me, I guess I can sleep well at night.
"Thank you for your hard work, Tangtang." Ning Xinrou said gratefully.
She glanced at the thick notebook in Lin Qingshan's hand and knew that it would not be finished in a day or two.
I don’t know how long it took my sister-in-law.
Lin Tang didn't think anything of it.
She wrote quickly and applied ointment to her wrists and fingers when she was done.
It just looks a little troublesome, but it’s actually not tiring.
"It's not hard! I write quickly, so it didn't take me many days."
Zhou Mei doesn't like reading. Her head starts to ache when she sees the densely packed words on the book.
In her eyes, reading is the hardest thing in the world.
However, looking at her sister-in-law's happy expression, Zhou Mei keenly realized that the notebook seemed unusual.
Her eyes flashed, and she floated to Lin Tang like a wandering soul.
"Tangtang."
He called out, looking at Lin Tang eagerly with a flattering look on his face.
Lin Tang raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Second sister-in-law, do you have something to say?"
"Tangtang, you are so nice to your brothers." Zhou Mei praised first.
Then, the tone changed.
"Don't forget your second brother. Although he doesn't talk much, he is thinking about you in his heart."
In some special circumstances, Zhou Mei still has a clear idea of what to do.
At this moment, she only mentioned Lin Qingshui and didn't mention herself at all.
Lin Tang nodded.
"I know that my three brothers hold the same position in my heart, so don't worry, sister-in-law."
Zhou Mei climbed up the pole and wanted to ask more questions.
Lin Qingshui walked over, pushed her aside, and stood between them.
He glanced at his silly wife quietly.
Sick again? Can't get enough of the bargains?
Lin Qingshui glanced at Zhou Mei expressionlessly, then looked at Lin Tang gently.
"Sister, don't listen to what your second sister-in-law says. It's not shameful to make a living by physical labor. I am proud to work in the fields and earn work points."
Tangtang is still a little girl.
How can we put all the pressure on her?
Lin Tang smiled, "My second sister-in-law didn't say anything. I know everything else, so don't worry, second brother."
She is thinking about her brother at home.
I'll make arrangements for my brothers whenever I get a chance.
"Don't take everything on yourself, just focus on your work." Lin Qingshui advised again.
Lin Tang nodded obediently, not being stubborn, and said, "Yeah."
Li Xiuli looked at the harmonious scene in front of her, her face filled with smiles.
Her children are all good.
"Okay, stop chatting and go wash your hands!
Qingshan, stop looking and eat first."
Goudan and the other kids were already hungry, but when they saw the adults talking, they didn't make any noise.
As soon as I heard grandma say it was time to eat, I immediately jumped for joy.
"Oh, time to eat."
With an excited cheer, they all ran to the kitchen to help.
-
Early the next morning.
Li Xiuli got up very early and made breakfast.
The family had breakfast and left the house with warm stomachs.
It was almost time to go to work, so they thought of sending Lin Tang to the village entrance.
The people from the second branch of the Lin family all came together, as if they were going to send Lin Tang to attend university in the provincial capital.
It feels particularly ceremonial.
Village entrance.
Li Xiuli looked at Lin Qingmu, who was carrying a lot of bags, and carefully instructed him:
"Qingmu, come back after you've made arrangements for Tangtang.
Tangtang doesn't like the dust on the wall, so I asked your uncle for some newspapers.
It's in the bag you're carrying. Don't forget to put it on the wall for your sister.
Your sister loves cleanliness, so you help clean the house inside and out.
When making the bed, shake the mattress vigorously to make it smooth and tidy up the edges and corners.
Go there and take a closer look at what Tangtang needs, and bring it to your sister next time you go to the county.
Oh, and the doors and windows need to be checked..."
She explained everything in detail, feeling very uneasy.
But there are so many people at home who need to feed, so it’s okay if only one person takes a leave.
If neither of them goes, that would be such a waste.
Work points are food rations!
Lin Qingmu relied on his thick skin to defeat his elder and second brothers and won the job of sending Lin Tang to the county.
I packed the things I needed to bring last night.
They are all carried on his back now.
Hearing what his mother said, Lin Qingmu scratched his head and said, "Don't worry, mother. I promise to make sure everything is fine."
Wasn’t it him who made my sister’s bed when she was in high school?
Li Xiuli nodded, without looking at him again, and looked at Lin Tang reluctantly.
He straightened the collar of her clothes.
"Tangtang, take good care of yourself and don't let your mother worry."
She had a thousand words to say, but this was the only thing she could say.
When children leave home, parents just want them to be well.
As for other things, whether it is money or future, they are not as important as the health of children.
Lin Tang's eyes were slightly hot. "Mom, you and my dad should take good care of yourselves. I will come back when I have time."
She didn't even ask her parents to come see her, because she knew they would be reluctant to give up their work points.
Li Xiuli was very touched by her daughter's concern and nodded.
Lin Qingshan walked up and ruffled Lin Tang's hair like he did when they were little.
"Tangtang is going to start a new life, she should be happy.
You have to walk your own path in the future, and I will work hard to help you one day.
Don't worry about home, your second and third brothers and I are here.
We will take good care of our parents, don't worry."
His sister is very thoughtful and always wants to put the burden on his shoulders, which really makes him speechless.
"Yeah." Lin Tang responded obediently, "I feel at ease with my brothers here."
After Lin Qingshan finished speaking, Ning Xinrou walked forward.
She handed Lin Tang a small bag and said softly, “Tangtang, sister-in-law doesn’t have anything good to give you.
I made the things in the bag myself, you can look at them when you are alone."
The last sentence was said in Lin Tang's ear.
She made a set of underwear and several pairs of socks herself.
It was originally going to be given to my sister-in-law early, but Qingshan felt sorry for her and set a time limit for her to do needlework.
I rushed to finish it in the late night last night.
Lin Tang nodded and put it into the bag he was carrying.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Ning Xinrou smiled and stood next to Lin Qingshan.
When Zhou Mei saw that her sister-in-law had expressed her opinion, a hint of regret flashed in her eyes.
Oops, the stuff has to be delivered.
It hurts.
She held the small paper bag in her hand, her heart aching.
My dried sweet potatoes, woooooo...
Zhou Mei cried like a 200-pound fat man in her heart, but she tried her best to walk towards Lin Tang without changing her expression.
"Tangtang, these are some dried sweet potatoes I saved up. Let me give them to you as a snack."
As I spoke, my heart felt like it was bleeding.
Normally she picks through other people's things, but this is the first time she's bleeding profusely.
