My Beloved Super Fierce Wife
Chapter 380: It seems like it has been changed but also seems like it hasn’t.

Goudan looked at him, his expression slightly speechless.

"Walk around, how would you know if it’s comfortable if you don’t walk?"

Alas, how did he, the clever Goudan, end up with such a foolish little brother?

Goudan had a look of utter dejection.

The kid in the sneakers quickly stood up, carefully avoiding the muddy spots, and took a few steps.

"These are comfortable, way better than the cloth shoes my mom makes."

Maishou looked on enviously.

"Of course, these are shoes that only families of cadres can afford to wear; how could they not be comfortable?"

Goudan’s young aunt is too kind!

Envy...

"These shoes sure are nice."

The boy in the sneakers didn’t wait long before he took them off.

After taking them off, he even patted them clean with his hands.

Even for such a short moment, the little guy was indescribably content.

Having owned them even for just a little while, he was very very satisfied.

Goudan waved his hand nonchalantly, "That’s nothing."

After saying this, he put the sneakers on, not letting anyone else try them on again.

Playing with the soccer ball in his hands, he said, "I can’t let each of you try on the sneakers, but this soccer ball is something we can all play with together."

A few boys looked surprised.

"You’re willing to let us play with it?"

"Really, Goudan?"

"Mhm," Goudan nodded affirmatively, "but I have one condition."

Maishou eagerly said, "What condition? Just say it, not just one, even ten or a hundred would be fine."

Compared to playing with a soccer ball worth several tens of yuan, what’s agreeing to a condition?

Goudan stood upright, his expression serious.

"In less than a month, I’ll be going to school, and I won’t be able to use the name Goudan anymore.

My formal name is Lin Zhicheng, call me Zhicheng from now on, don’t forget."

Maishou and the others didn’t really understand.

What Goudan, Zhicheng...

Aren’t they all Goudan?

"Got it, Goudan."

Goudan was speechless, "...you got it wrong."

Maishou said, "Oh oh, Zhicheng."

"We definitely won’t forget next time, rest assured, Goudan."

Goudan: "... " It seemed like it had changed, yet it hadn’t changed.

Lin Family.

After Goudan and the others left their home, Lin Tang informed the family about her impending trip to Sea City.

Lin Lu and Li Xiuli’s expressions changed.

What, Sea City?

Their daughter was going to such a far-off place?

Lin Lu said worriedly, "...Is it possible not to go? It’s so far, your mother and I are not at ease."

They didn’t understand anything about expos.

Hearing that Sea City was far away, a trip would take one to two months — how could he and the child’s mother feel at ease?

Lin Tang didn’t anticipate her parents’ reaction to be so intense, and helplessly said, "What’s there to worry about? Qingqing is going, and our factory’s Technical Team is also going; there won’t be any problems."

"This is a rare learning opportunity. Originally I wasn’t included, but Uncle Qin managed to obtain it for me after much effort, it would be a pity not to go."

Hearing this, Lin Lu and Li Xiuli exchanged glances.

If that’s the case, then it wouldn’t do for their daughter not to go.

They couldn’t hold back their daughter’s progress.

"So many people are going..." Lin Lu’s furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and he said, "When will you leave? Let your mother help you pack the necessary food, clothes, and supplies..."

Li Xiuli considered more deeply, saying:

"My dear, you should pay attention to the weather in Sea City on the radio, see what clothes need to be brought...

I’ll start preparing some portable food for Tangtang to ensure she’ll have no problems with eating, dressing, or using."

Their daughter’s first trip out of town, it really made them somewhat flustered.

Her sister-in-law should have some experience, they’ll ask her when the eldest son’s wife comes back.

Seeing that her parents had quickly moved on to preparation work, Lin Tang laughed and said, "Dad, Mom, there’s still time, no rush.

Mom, when the time comes, just make me some Pancakes, boil some eggs, and get some sauce.

I’ll also have a look and prepare some things myself, that will be enough."

Li Xiuli thought that wasn’t enough at all.

How could they be so careless? Even if going out, they couldn’t let their daughter be wronged.

Now that their home isn’t lacking money, there’s no need to be so stingy.

"... rest assured, I’ll take care of the preparations."

Lin Tang playfully coaxed, "Good, then I’ll be waiting."

Home is the haven of the heart; having someone care whether you have eaten well or dressed warmly is a very happy thing.

Where the heart is directed, there is the way home!

-

Xiao Family.

When Xiao Heping learned that Lin Tang, known for producing high-quality medicines for injuries, had returned to the village, he came to the Lin Family with Song Yi.

Seeing the warm and harmonious atmosphere of the Lin Family, Xiao Heping felt somewhat embarrassed for intruding.

"...I apologize, we are disturbing you," he spoke succinctly.

Every moment on the border, compatriots are sacrificing, and as a soldier with a mission, he couldn’t sit still for a minute.

Li Xiuli brought out two stools from the house, saying politely:

"What disturbance? Don’t be formal now, take a seat, I’ll pour you some water."

Having said that, she turned and went to the kitchen.

Lin Lu asked with concern, "How is your leg, Heping?"

Xiao Heping had been soaked in a bubble of concern since returning; he knew the villagers cared about him and wasn’t bothered by it.

His usually stern face softened slightly.

"Much better, thanks a lot, Second Brother."

Being the second eldest in the Lin Family, those who got along well with him in the village would call him Second Brother.

"As long as you’re all right. If there’s anything at home, just shout, no need to be shy."

Xiao Heping felt warmth in his heart and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"I know, Xiaosong is doing the house chores, my bones are almost getting soft from idleness."

And that was the truth.

Ever since he enlisted, he had never had a rest, and now suddenly being forced to take a break, his body just wasn’t used to it.

Lin Lu laughed, "You’ve worked hard for so many years, it’s time to stop and rest."

While the two exchanged pleasantries, Lin Tang had only greeted them initially, then sat beside Li Xiuli, watching Xiao Heping and Song Yi.

Perhaps because he was used to giving orders in the Army, Xiao Heping had an aura of a general - decisive and commanding.

He sat as still as a bell, his back straight and rigid.

Sitting there, he exuded a reliable sense of security.

Lin Tang glanced at his army green uniform, her eyes brimming with a smile.

Perhaps this is the unique sensation a soldier from the Hua Family brings to the people.

As long as they are there, there’s nothing to be afraid of.

Song Yi caught sight of Lin Tang and his expression faltered slightly.

He had thought the girl he saw on the road earlier was the village beauty, but he didn’t expect to encounter another one, even more beautiful than the first.

Could it be that the water and soil here are especially nurturing?

After taking just a couple more glances at Lin Tang, Song Yi quickly shifted his gaze away.

Compared to the girl who looked like a richly adorned flower before him, he obviously had a softer spot for the girl he had run into on the road.

He wondered which family that Xiaojing girl belonged to, whether she was married or not?!

After briefly chatting with Lin Lu, Xiao Heping turned his attention to Lin Tang.

"This must be Tangtang, all grown up into a big girl."

Even though he didn’t pay much attention to looks, he thought the daughter of Second Brother Lin was exceptionally beautiful.

Since his return to the village, he had heard a lot about Lin Tang and had a favorable impression of her.
