Chapter 461: 461 Stands Up Again

Wang Yuanchao was on duty tonight.

He immediately shouted, "Captain, rest assured, I guarantee to keep our brigade’s corn cobs safe."

Wang Yuanchao’s childhood friend unceremoniously bumped his arm and added, "Me too, Captain, you can count on me."

Heads can be broken, blood can flow, but the grain must not be compromised!

Lin Fu nodded with a smile, "I’m confident in the two of you lads taking care of things."

After discussing the important matters, he told Lin Tang to hurry back home and then he headed to the grain drying ground with a few other brigade cadres.

Before leaving, he glanced at Gu Yingzhou, who was working efficiently; the satisfaction was evident in Captain Lin’s eyes.

Tangtang has a good eye for people!

Much better than his daughter, who had her eyes smeared with feces and mistook rocks for jade.

A group of men and iron ladies kept busy and quickly finished moving the corn cobs from the field.

The last few bags were taken over by the strong lads of the village, and Lin Lu gave up the pushcart.

With that, a day’s work came to an end.

After finishing up, Lin Tang and the other two greeted everyone and headed home.

On the road.

Lin Lu kept glancing at the camera in Lin Tang’s hands.

"Tangtang, did you take some good photos?" he asked with a face full of curiosity.

Lin Tang nodded, "Yeah, I took some good ones. There are some of dad and Comrade Gu too."

She had taken quite a few, and the film roll must be almost used up.

Lin Lu looked forward with anticipation, "So, how do the photos come out?"

He was obviously eager to see them.

Lin Tang laughed and said, "The photos need to be developed. It’ll probably take a few days."

She didn’t know how to develop photos yet and would have to ask Comrade Gu to teach her.

"Develop?" Lin Lu didn’t understand what she meant.

He furrowed his brow with a look on his face that said, ’Daughter, you must be mistaken.’

"How can photos, which are made of paper, be washed? Wouldn’t they just disintegrate in water?"

What’s with his daughter learning to bluff now?

Gu Yingzhou, listening to his future father-in-law’s earnest joke, couldn’t help but let laughter spill from his eyes.

"The developing Tangtang is talking about isn’t the same as washing clothes."

"It involves technology, Uncle. You just wait and see the photos."

Lin Lu realized he had gotten it wrong and his face turned bright red.

He coughed feigning nonchalance and said, "Ahem, who would know, right?"

Gu Yingzhou naturally provided an out for his future father-in-law, "Uncle is right, these foreign contraptions really are confusing."

Foreign contraptions?!

Lin Lu couldn’t help but take another glance at the camera, feeling a tremor in his chest.

Something that came all the way from overseas? How expensive must that metal shell be then.

In the midst of their conversation, the three arrived at the doorstep of their home.

Seeing them, Lin Zhicheng charged over like the wind.

"Grandpa, Aunt Tangtang, Brother Gu, why did you come back so late? Grandma and mom have already prepared the meal."

The scent of meat from the kitchen was nearly intoxicating him, so tempting that he couldn’t even concentrate on his comic books.

Zhou Mei, who happened to overhear this, frowned at Lin Zhicheng’s back for not addressing her by her name and huffed discontentedly.

Upon entering the kitchen, her first words were, "Tangtang and the others are back," and then she complained to Ning Xinrou.

"Sister-in-law, look at Zhicheng, he doesn’t have any regard for his second aunt at all!"

Zhou Mei had barely finished speaking when Li Xiuli rolled her eyes and retorted,

"Why are you acting like a child? Even the youngest Zhixuan isn’t jealous, and here you are fussing over it. You must be really bored. Are you going to eat or not? If you’re going to eat, then hurry up and set the table..."

Zhou Mei was indeed the Lin family’s most eager diner.

As soon as she heard it was time to eat, her tired body immediately perked up again after a whole day’s work.

"Eat! I’m going to set the table now. I’ve been waiting for those words all day."

Working in the factory every day and suddenly doing manual labor in the fields had left her both famished and exhausted.

Zhou Mei efficiently wiped the table clean, making sure there was not a single speck of unidentifiable solid matter left on it after going over it twice.

She turned back to the kitchen and brought out the meals.

As soon as Lin Tang got home, she wanted to haul water for her father and her partner to wash up.

But who knew—

Gu Yingzhou, familiar with the layout, grabbed the washbasin, filled it with water, and let Lin Lu wash first.

"Uncle, you wash first," he said.

Having finished speaking, he looked at Lin Tang, "Tangtang, you wash your face at the tap, and after you’re done, I’ll wash."

Everything was arranged perfectly.

Lin Tang looked up at him.

The man like never before was in disarray.

He had been so careful, yet how could one remain presentable doing farm work?

It was inevitable that he would get dust on himself.

A fine line had somehow appeared on his handsome face without notice.

Lin Tang felt a pang of heartache and said, "Wait for me," before she went back to her room.

In less than a minute, she came out holding a mini broom.

Without a word, Lin Tang gently patted Gu Yingzhou with the small broom while murmuring,

"You wash first, I’ll help you dust off your clothes. You can’t eat with dirt all over you."

Gu Yingzhou cast his gaze down at the earnest-looking girl, his deep eyes brimming with a smile that made one’s heart tingle.

The man obediently moved to the tap and washed his face, arms, and neck with the sound of running water.

After he finished, he took the little broom from Lin Tang’s hands, "I can pat myself down, you wash up too."

After Lin Lu had washed his face and saw how they were looking into each other’s eyes, he finally laid his worries to rest.

This young man was truly not bad.

Through an afternoon’s acquaintance, Gu Yingzhou not only won over the affections of the Lin family but also that of the men and women of Shuangshan Brigade.

Everyone had an excellent impression of him.

Gu Yingzhou felt satisfied with today’s visit.

At least now he was official, and he could come out in the daylight!

After being treated to a simple home-cooked meal by the Lin family, Gu Yingzhou took the return gifts they gave and cycled back to the county city.

Lin Tang was not due at work until the day after tomorrow, so she stayed at home.

She prepared a medicine to ease body aches and fatigue.

After boiling a pot of hot water, she set two rows of wooden tubs for the family to soak their feet.

Lin Lu and the others had faith in Lin Tang’s pharmaceutical skills and, hearing it could relieve fatigue, were looking forward to it.

"It might feel a bit hot and tingly at first, but that’s normal. Don’t panic; it’ll pass after a while," she explained.

The Lin family nodded in understanding.

Soon, Lin Lu and the others started to soak their feet.

"So comfortable," Li Xiuli was the first to sigh contentedly.

Lin Lu sat back to back with her and, without having felt the effects yet, followed suit, "So comfortable!"

Lin Tang couldn’t help but laugh, "Dad, you don’t have to rush to join in the chorus. The medicine hasn’t started working yet."

The others couldn’t hold back their laughter.

Lin Lu didn’t mind at all.

"My daughter is so filial, it warms my heart," he said.

Lin Tang thought to herself, That’s very nice!

As Li Xiuli soaked her feet in comfort, she thought of her future son-in-law, "Tangtang, this medicine you’ve prepared is great. Have you made some for Yingzhou?"

Lin Tang hadn’t expected that after just one visit, Gu Comrade had already made an impression on her mother.

She smiled and said, "I’ve prepared it. Does Mom think Comrade Gu is quite alright too?"

Li Xiuli nodded in approval, "Indeed, he is not bad. The young man is very diligent and proactive.

Despite his good family background, he doesn’t look down on us country folks. You’ve chosen a good partner; get along well with Yingzhou."

What was most important was that, in her eyes... Xiaogu seemed to have eyes only for her daughter.
