Chapter 94 My Heart Is a Little Panicked
When Lin Yuqing returned with the water, everyone set off happily.
They met other children on the way, and upon seeing this group, they immediately joined in. Some children, who were too busy at home, could only watch the group walk away. They wanted to play too, but their parents were watching them, and they had work points to earn.
Little Peach Blossom walked boldly at the front of the group, and the group followed her wherever she went, making her an absolute guiding light.
When Lin Fengjuan passed by carrying a load of rice seedlings, this was the 'imposing scene' she saw. When she saw her son among the group of children, Lin Fengjuan smiled.
"Mother."
"Aunt Juan."
When Little Peach Blossom saw the Lin family calling for someone, she looked over and politely greeted, "Aunt Juan."
"What is this?" Lin Fengjuan had a guess in her mind, but she still asked.
"Aunt Juan, this is Xiao Taohua from my uncle's family." Lin Yuqing, as the eldest brother, solemnly introduced his younger sister to Lin Fengjuan.
"Ah, little peach blossoms, so beautiful."
"Thank you." Little Peach Blossom blinked; she loved hearing people praise her.
"Okay, good girl. I'll go deliver the rice seedlings now. Don't go near the pond while you're playing."
Lin Yuqing nodded: "We know Aunt Juan."
With nothing much to explain, Lin Fengjuan smiled at the children and continued carrying the rice seedlings away.
"Little Peach Blossom, you see? This is Aunt Juan," Lin Yuqing introduced enthusiastically.
"Hmm." Little Peach Blossom wasn't very interested.
The others didn't notice anything amiss either. Someone spotted the bushes and exclaimed excitedly, "Let's be little rabbits and grasshoppers!"
The group of people immediately became busy, as if what had just happened was a trivial incident. Little Peach Blossom was also considered a trivial incident and was not taken to heart.
Lin Fengjuan carried a load of rice seedlings to the paddy field. To take care of her, she was assigned to be with some kind-hearted older women. When they saw her return, they smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Lin Fengjuan."
"No, I'm strong, I can lift it."
"You're amazing!" Everyone gave a thumbs up.
"It's not that bad, I threw it away."
"Throw it away, this load is enough for several acres of land."
While the group was busy, they didn't forget to chat. Lin Fengjuan said with a smile, "When I came over just now, I saw my eldest cousin's little peach blossom. That child is so handsome."
"That's right, everyone in the surrounding villages knows how beautiful Little Peach Blossom is. Oh, speaking of which, it's been almost half a year and this is the first time you've seen her."
Lin Fengjuan nodded: "That's right, I wouldn't have recognized him if Yuqing hadn't introduced him."
"Hey, what's there to be afraid of? Anyway, the prettiest one in our production team and the surrounding production teams is definitely Little Peach Blossom. You can spot her at a glance in a crowd."
"Indeed. My older cousin and his family are truly blessed."
"Yes, she is really lucky. If I had a daughter like Xiao Taohua, I would definitely spoil her rotten. It's a pity that even if Xiao Taohua were my daughter, I wouldn't have that kind of luck. In my family, I can only feed Xiao Taohua at most."
Someone added, "So, it's still the Lin family that's powerful."
Lin Fengjuan also agrees with this: "My eldest cousin is indeed amazing."
"Comrade Lin Fengjuan, you have no idea what a deputy factory director is. It's such a high position. We can never even dream of it in our lives. We just hope that the fields will yield more grain so that we won't go hungry in the future. By the way, what's it like where you are? Do you eat until you're stuffed every day?"
Li Fengjuan laughed and said, "Sister, where did you hear these rumors?"
"Isn't that so? Then tell me."
"It's not much different from here, except that we eat commercial grain. If you have grain coupons, you can buy more; if you don't, you can't eat anything. Besides, we don't grow our own land there, so we have to buy everything. There's no difference."
The others who heard this sighed. It turns out they weren't much different from their side. Besides having jobs and higher salaries, it wasn't as easy to get something to eat as it was here.
After thinking it through, I realized that what they said about the other side wasn't all that great.
"You've finally overcome this hurdle. Once you raise Xiaoguang, you can expect to enjoy a life of luxury." Now that you're living at Deputy Factory Director Lin's house, it's impossible for you to be bullied. As long as you focus on your work, you're even less likely to starve.
"Indeed, life is so much better now than before." Lin Fengjuan still felt a little dazed when she thought about those days before, after all, life is so good now, stable and full of hope.
However, she felt a little uneasy, especially after seeing Little Peach Blossom today.
But it's alright, everything is fine. Just like that lady said, the best days are yet to come. Once Xiaoguang is raised, she'll be set for life.
As I was thinking, a loud voice suddenly came from the other half of the field ridge: "Comrade Fengjuan!"
"Yes, I'm here."
"Come here for a moment."
Lin Fengjuan smiled briefly at the people there and walked over.
"Comrade Fengjuan, how's that thing I mentioned?" The man pulled Lin Fengjuan aside and whispered, "Our family is sincerely seeking her hand in marriage. Don't worry, we absolutely won't let that girl be bullied. Let me tell you, if that girl really agrees, my family will offer a dowry of three hundred yuan plus a bicycle!"
"This matter..." Lin Fengjuan was still somewhat hesitant.
“I know this matter will trouble Comrade Fengjuan, but you also know what kind of temper my son has. He fell in love with that girl after meeting her and insisted on marrying her. You are also from our Xiaolin Village, so please help me out. I will be eternally grateful to you!” As he spoke, he secretly slipped some money into Lin Fengjuan’s hand: “This little bit of money is for you to run errands. You’ve been working so hard.”
"How could I possibly take your money? You're doing me a favor by asking me to introduce a girl to your son. Besides, that girl's family has also gone through some trouble, and she should be grateful to have such a good in-law family like yours."
"That's not how it works. Even if something happened to that girl's family, we were the ones who went out of our way to marry her. It's a marriage where she marries a perfect husband and a beautiful bride. Everyone is happy. We people from Xiaolin Village would never do something like this, putting others at a disadvantage."
"Alright then, I'll consider this money as the matchmaker's wedding gift."
"Yes, it's a wedding gift. Take it. My son needs you to talk to him about it."
"Okay, leave it to me. I'll go after I finish work."
"Well, if you're tired, you can go in a couple of days.
"No, these are busy farming days, so I shouldn't miss work."
"Thank you so much, Comrade Fengjuan." The other person was so moved that they almost cried.
"It's nothing, sister. Really, I'm not tired at all."
"Okay, when my son gets married, I'll definitely give you a big red envelope and treat you like a guest of honor!"
"No way!"
"That's settled then, I'm going to get to work."
Lin Fengjuan shook her head, smiled, and then went back to work.
