Chapter 253 Some are happy, some are jealous
If the small round-neck floral shirt that Ning Xinrou made for Lin Tang before was fresh and cute, then the one made by Zhang Hongyan was elegant.
"So beautiful, thank you, Third Aunt." Lin Tang smiled brightly.
Zhang Hongyan knew that Tangtang had two pieces of braid made by her sister-in-law, and she was a little worried that she would not like them before coming.
Seeing Lin Tang's reaction, I breathed a sigh of relief.
"As long as you like it, I've washed the clothes. In this weather, you can wear them morning or night."
Lin Tang touched the embroidery on the clothes with a look of admiration.
"Aunt San can also embroider? That's amazing."
Not many people in later generations know this skill.
Zhang Hongyan smiled and said, "What's so great about that? I only know the basics."
Her mother is really awesome.
The embroidery she made looked just like the real thing, but unfortunately she only learned 10% to 20% before her mother passed away.
Lin Tang didn't want Third Aunt to belittle herself, so he encouraged her with a smile.
"Even this little bit of fur is not a small thing. Auntie, do you believe that there are many people in the big city who want your embroidery?"
Who doesn’t want exquisite and beautiful things?
Even if I don't dare to say it openly due to the situation in the future, I still want it in my heart.
Zhang Hongyan didn't know whether what Tangtang said was true or not, but she had to admit that she was comforted.
I even feel like all the bad things I suffered before were not in vain.
"You like it too? If you do, when you and Xiaojing get married, I'll make a set of bedding for each of you, so you can both be splendid."
Lin Xiaojing's face flushed, and she said embarrassedly: "Mom, I'm still young~"
Lin Tang has been a single dog in both of his lives, and he has no plans to continue being single in this life.
Without any shame, she said straightforwardly, "I'll remember it. Thank you for troubling Auntie San."
When Lin Lu, Li Xiuli and others heard Lin Tang's words, they felt a pang of sadness in their hearts.
marry?
What kind of marriage?
You are still so young, it’s too early for you to get married.
No rush!
There is no need to rush!
It’s not like the family can’t afford to support Tangtang.
Zhang Hongyan was happy and her face was full of smiles.
"Remember this, I promise you won't forget it."
After replying to Lin Tang, he looked at Lin Xiaojing and said, "Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. There is nothing to be embarrassed about."
"It was my fault before. I'll show you a new partner in the future. Your father, brother, and I will all check on you."
"You came out of my belly, how could I really have the heart to push you into the fire?"
"If you have any ideas in the future, you should learn to speak directly. How would I know if you kept them to yourself?"
Li Xiuli felt indescribably relieved when she saw Hongyan and Xiaojing talking to each other in a gentle voice.
"There's no such thing as an overnight grudge between mother and daughter. You two really need to change the way you get along with each other."
"Hongyan, please be more patient with Xiaojing. Xiaojing should also learn to trust your mother.
Your mother sometimes says harsh words, but she cares about you in her heart.
When you dropped out of school, your mother cried."
This is true.
The harvests were poor in the past two years, and the three branches of the Lin family had no extra money.
All the money was used to buy food, so Xiaojing had to drop out of school.
Although Hongyan is cold to Xiaojing, she still has feelings for her in her heart.
Before Xiaojing dropped out of school, Hongyan ran to her house in a daze, with red eyes.
Zhang Hongyan felt a little embarrassed when she heard her second sister-in-law talking about the past in front of her daughter.
"Second sister-in-law, why are you saying this?"
This was the first time Lin Xiaojing heard about this.
The little girl froze.
It turns out that her mother has always been looking forward to her going to the fields to earn work points!
Her mother also wanted her to continue studying.
It’s just... it’s just because the family really can’t afford the money, so they treat her even more harshly?
Lin Xiaojing's eyes suddenly felt sore.
The shackles that had bound her for so many times suddenly cracked at this moment.
Suddenly, there was a 'bang' sound.
Broken into pieces.
"Mom, you support me in going to school, right?" Lin Xiaojing's voice choked.
She used to envy Tangtang so much because her family always supported her in her studies.
If...if her mother also supported her, she would have no regrets.
After so many years, this is the only thing that makes her feel uneasy.
Zhang Hongyan looked a little embarrassed.
Li Xiuli wanted to untie the knot between her and her daughter, so she pulled Zhang Hongyan's arm and signaled her to reply quickly.
"You're talking to your own daughter, what's there to be embarrassed about? If you're really embarrassed, then let's go."
Zhang Hongyan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He turned his gaze to Lin Xiaojing, was silent for a moment, and said:
It would be a great thing if you could keep going, why wouldn't I want to?
Didn’t your family even have enough money to eat at that time? We had no choice but to let you drop out of school…”
At this point, she sighed, "Your father and I are incompetent and can't even afford to send you to school..."
If my daughter had gone to high school, perhaps the situation would be different now.
The anger that had been pent up in Lin Xiaojing's chest suddenly dissipated.
The look he gave Zhang Hongyan was more intimate than ever before.
"I don't blame my parents. It's good enough that you're willing to support me to go to junior high school."
Look at the girls in the village, how many of them can read?
She was lucky to be born in the Lin family.
People should not be too greedy.
She has already obtained a lot. If she is greedy again, God will be unhappy.
Zhang Hongyan rubbed Lin Xiaojing's hair unfamiliarly, and for the first time she felt the comfort of having a daughter.
My daughter is really thoughtful.
Fortunately, she still has time.
Zhang Hongyan and Lin Xiaojing sat for a while and then left.
Lin Lu asked Lin Tang about the machine she had mentioned earlier.
"Daughter, didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to get some machines for the sauce factory? When can you get them?"
Because the brigade cadres said that the village was going to set up a sauce factory, everyone in the village was keeping an eye on the factory.
Everyone asked him questions when they saw him, and now he feels a little nervous when he sees villagers walking towards him.
Lin Tang replied, "The machine is almost ready, we can move it in the next few days."
She thought for a moment and said, “But I suggest we wait for my third brother to move.
Then let him find someone or drive the machine back himself. It’s safe and efficient, there’s no need to rush for one or two days…”
Moving it yourself is not only unsafe, but also tiring.
Lin Lu felt relieved after hearing the definite answer. "What you said makes sense. Let's do as you say."
Next door at this moment.
Wang Zhaodi finally saved up fifty cents.
She looked at the beautiful and imposing house next door, and her lips were almost bitten by the soreness.
Wang Zhaodi giggled as she touched the money in the tattered handkerchief reluctantly.
"...Hehehe, Lin Tang, you're dead!"
Tomorrow she will call that person to complain.
Because she was thinking about how to deal with Lin Tang, Wang Zhaodi was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.
I got up early the next day.
I fed the pigs, boiled water, washed clothes for the whole family, and then went to the county.
Wang Zhaodi had not eaten a full meal, so her steps were weak and she walked very slowly.
She went out before it was fully light.
After hurrying, I had already covered half of the journey.
