Chapter 160 What is this?
Lin Guangyi returned from the fields carrying a hoe. On the way, he saw the newly arrived educated youth, and his face darkened. After returning home, he silently gulped down a few mouthfuls of water. When he saw Wang Qiu, his eyes dimmed: "Where did you go!"
Wang Qiu was startled as soon as she entered the house, her eyes filled with hesitation: "I didn't go anywhere, I just went to work."
Lin Guangyi threw the water ladle away, splashing water onto the ground: "Where did the bag of grain I put under the bed go!"
"What grain? There's grain under the bed? How come I didn't know?"
"Wang Qiu, I don't care what you did today, I want to see that bag of grain first thing tomorrow morning, or you can get back to your Wang family!"
"Lin Guangyi, what do you mean! You're saying I stole grain for my maternal family? Do you have any conscience? I've borne children for your Lin family all these years, and I'm not even worth a bag of grain?!"
"Wang Qiu, don't be stubborn and ask for trouble!"
"Fine, I'll leave! Who do you think you are! Do you still think you're the old Captain Lin? The current captain is Lin Tiangen, you're nothing!"
"Say that again if you dare!"
"What's so hard to say, Lin Guangyi? You're nothing!"
"Smack!"
"Lin Guangyi, you dare hit me? You still dare to hit me? I'll fight you to the death!"
The two immediately started fighting.
Old Man Lin and Old Woman Lin's health had been poor in recent years, and they were too weak to even hear the commotion outside, but they still shouted breathlessly, "Stop hitting them! Stop hitting them..."
Even though they shouted, no one outside could hear them, and the fight continued until everyone in the family came home from work and things finally quieted down.
The fighting is real, but life still goes on.
Whether it was because their breakup was too extreme or just bad luck, after that incident, not only did Lin Guangyi lose his position as the brigade leader, but Lin Guangxing and the others also lost their status as town employees, and the whole family ended up living with Lin Guangyi.
And Lin Guangping's situation hasn't been good these past few years either, but that's all Lin Guangping's business now.
No matter how much trouble Lin Guangyi causes, it has nothing to do with Xiao Taohua. Although the relationship between the adults above is strained, it does not affect the relationship between the children below.
On the surface, they don't seem to have much contact, but they do have quite frequent interactions behind the scenes.
Moreover, the children have grown up over the years, and even if Lin Guangyi and the others wanted to manage them, they were somewhat powerless to do so; to put it bluntly, they simply couldn't control them.
Fortunately, the adults' bad attitude doesn't affect the children, and the children aren't blindly obedient; they have their own opinions.
Lin Yuqing now works as a cook at a state-run restaurant in town, and his skills are quite good. After all, his master was He Wenyu, a descendant of the imperial chefs. In the end, he only heard about this matter by chance back then. He went to find the man and the two of them were destined to become master and apprentice.
They got married a couple of years ago, and their child was just born. Because of their work, the couple mostly lived in the town.
The youngest son, Lin Yushan, passed the entrance exam for a school after graduating from high school and became a teacher there.
The youngest daughter, Lin Lili, became a textile factory worker, all through her own abilities.
Lin Yushan and Lin Lili are not engaged yet, not because Lin Guangyi and his wife are unwilling, but because the siblings are unwilling.
As for Lin Guangxing's daughter, Lin Yulu, she hasn't graduated yet; she's a high school student. Her only hobby is writing stories. Of course, only Xiao Taohua and a few others know about this hobby; the elders don't.
Logically speaking, Lin Guangxing's family had more than one son, and they could have had more children. However, something happened that Lin Guangxing injured himself and could no longer have children. He even lost his job, which forced the couple to live with Lin Guangyi and their child in a sorry state.
Ultimately, it's because they've done too many bad things, and after severing ties, the adults in those families have become increasingly irritable. Even those who initially kept their distance from them have drifted further away since then, and nobody wants to communicate with someone full of negative energy.
Over time, arguments in this family became commonplace, even the norm.
The noise from Lin Guangyi's side didn't affect Xiao Taohua's side. After getting off work, Xiao Taohua went home as usual, when suddenly, she heard a 'sizzle'.
"who?"
There was no movement around.
Her parents were at work and hadn't come home yet, so she was home alone.
She looked around warily, but there was still no one there.
"Sizzle... sizzle..."
The vanished sound suddenly reappeared, and then Little Peach Blossom stared in shock at the air in front of her, because a panel suddenly appeared before her eyes, with many, many words on it.
Little Peach Blossom looked left and right, then couldn't resist her curiosity and leaned closer: "The title of the book is 'Qin Jiajia's Happy Life'?"
Then Xiaotaohua continued reading.
Qin Jiajia was a female educated youth who went to the countryside in 1976. The Xiaolin Village production team where she was stationed was a wealthy production team. There, she encountered the calamity of her life - Jiang Shang, or perhaps, this was her destiny.
Little Peach Blossom: ...
He took a deep breath, leaned closer, and looked at it from beginning to end again. Then: ...
"What is this?" No one responded.
Little Peach Blossom sniffed, thinking it shouldn't concern her. Although many of the place names and people's names were familiar, the main characters were educated youth sent to the countryside, so it had nothing to do with her.
But is this a story or a prophecy?
Forget it, never mind.
As Little Peach Blossom was thinking this, the panel in front of her suddenly disappeared.
"Huh?" It really disappeared without a trace.
I reached out and touched it, but there was only air in front of me; there was nothing there.
"Little Peach Blossom." At this moment, her parents' voices came from outside the door. Little Peach Blossom immediately forgot about the matter and happily went to greet them.
"Come and see what your mom and dad brought you!" Yin Qing smiled as she showed the things to her daughter.
"What is this?" Little Peach Blossom looked at the thing in her mother's hand in surprise. She had never seen it before, but it looked very cute.
"This is a cloth doll. Does Little Peach Blossom like it?"
"I love it!" Little Peach Blossom happily took it. "It's a rabbit! It's so soft!"
"If you like it, that's good. You can put the little peach blossom on your bed and hug it to sleep at night."
"Okay, I'll listen to Mom."
Yin Qing smiled as she watched her daughter adore the toy, feeling an extraordinary sense of satisfaction.
Their lives have been peaceful these past few years, and the whole family is happy. To be honest, Yin Qing would never get tired of this kind of life.
However, the thought that my daughter is already 16 still brings a touch of melancholy to my heart.
If I could, I really don't want my daughter to grow up. She was so tiny and has grown up so much. What if she gets bullied after she gets married?
Just as Yin Qing sighed helplessly, a voice called from outside the door: "Uncle Guang Sheng, are you there?"
Lin Guangsheng stood up: "Tiangen, why are you here so late?"
"I've come to discuss something with you."
"Alright, come in quickly."
Lin Tiangen walked in with a smile: "Won't it take any longer?"
"No problem, have you eaten? If not, you can eat here."
"No need, I ate it myself." Lin Tiangen quickly shook his head.
"Okay, then I'll eat while you talk."
Lin Tiangen said there was no problem.
