Chapter 463: Woke up and found that my husband is gone

Lin Tang explained, "It contains a battery, and one battery can last at least several months. If the battery runs out, just replace it and it could continue to be used."

In short, as long as it wasn’t smashed heavily, this thing could last a very long time.

The Lin Family had a radio, which also used batteries, so they quickly understood.

"...This thing is pretty convenient," Zhou Mei was once again impressed.

She nudged Lin Qingshui, who was watching intently, and whispered, "Zhiming’s dad, do you want a flashlight?

How about we save up and buy one for you?

If you have a flashlight, you can see the road clearly when you come home from night shifts."

Lin Qingshui firmly rejected the idea.

"No need! This thing looks expensive at first glance, we don’t have industry coupons, saving for this is not as good as making clothes for you and the girl."

Zhou Mei was touched.

Before she could speak, Lin Zhiming, with his dark little face, said naively, "Dad, you forgot about me."

Lin Qingshui looked down at him, "...I’ll also buy one for you."

After speaking, he turned his attention back to the flashlight in Lin Lu’s hand.

Gu Yingzhou rode back to the county town with high spirits.

Passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, he was directly confronted by Jiu Wei.

"Big brother!"

With a loud voice, Jiu Wei ran over like a gust of wind, following alongside the bicycle.

"Big brother, I have some good news to tell you," he said excitedly.

Gu Yingzhou glanced at the supply and marketing cooperative and had already guessed what it was. He spoke indifferently, "You have a partner."

Jiu Wei instantly grinned like a fool, his mouth almost stretching behind his ears.

He felt a surge of energy throughout his body.

"You’re really something, big brother, guessing it just like that. Right! I’ve got myself a partner."

He finally bid farewell to twenty years of singledom, great joy for everyone, oh ho!!

Gu Yingzhou watched his naively trained companion finally get to this day, his feelings quite complicated.

"Treat the lady comrade well!"

"Us male comrades... especially those who have served as soldiers, must respect female comrades, must know how to keep a proper distance, and should consciously maintain distance from other female comrades..."

Perhaps because he was in a particularly good mood today, Gu Yingzhou said a little more than usual.

Jiu Wei listened with a serious expression, making it look like he was earnestly heeding the leader’s advice.

"Rest assured, big brother, I, Jiu Wei, guarantee I won’t disgrace you."

Gu Yingzhou, seeing his silly face, just couldn’t bear to look.

He restrained a chuckle, snorted lightly, "You’d be disgracing yourself, not me!"

With that, he sped up and disappeared quickly, one man, one bike.

Jiu Wei was confused for a moment, then muttered softly, "The boss is so fickle, I wonder if Comrade Lin can handle it?"

-

The arrival of Lin Tang’s partner struck the Lin Family with neither a light nor a heavy thunderous impact.

Some were happy, others worried.

The one with the most mixed feelings was Lin Qingshan.

After eleven o’clock at night, the village fell completely silent, everyone immersed in their dreams.

He just couldn’t fall asleep, tossing and turning.

Lin Qingshan lay in bed, memories of a little girl growing up flashing through his mind like a movie.

There was the little Bun’s babbling, the clip of the young girl holding his hand to learn to walk, and the adorable sight of the young girl on her first day of school...

His memories were full!

Thinking of his sister getting married, Lin Qingshan felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart.

He closed his eyes, not a trace of sleepiness.

He quietly got up, covering Ning Xinrou, who was beside him, with a thin blanket, then went outside.

He did not return to the room for a long time.

When Ning Xinrou woke up from her sleep, she found that her husband was gone.

Having waited for a while, she saw no one return.

She pulled on the light cord and, after straightening her clothes, Ning Xinrou stepped out of the room.

Using the faint light from inside the house, she looked around the courtyard.

From the back of the courtyard, she heard a faint crunching sound.

Ning Xinrou furrowed her brows, walking towards the back courtyard.

Upon lifting the curtain, she was met with a familiar silhouette directly opposite the door.

The figure was bent over, sharpening something.

Crunch, crunch, crunch...

Each sound was especially frightening in the silence of the night.

"...Why aren’t you sleeping at this late hour? What are you doing?" Ning Xinrou asked, puzzled.

As she approached, she saw that Lin Qingshan was actually sharpening an axe.

"What are you looking at while sharpening an axe?" She was dumbfounded by the man’s seemingly pointless activity.

Does anyone have a husband like this?

She felt inexplicably scared!

Lin Qingshan too was startled by his wife’s sudden voice, almost getting his foot smashed by the falling axe.

Luckily, he reacted quickly enough to avoid a bleeding incident.

"Wife, why are you up?"

Ning Xinrou’s face turned pale from the fright of the near miss.

Without answering, she picked up the axe and put it back in the toolbox.

Ever since Wang Zhaodi from next door died because of a hoe, the villagers paid more attention to where they placed potentially dangerous tools.

Those who could afford it would find a dedicated space for them.

Those who couldn’t would build a shed.

Having put away the axe, Ning Xinrou uncharacteristically frowned.

"You ask me why I’m up? What about you? Why aren’t you sleeping? What are you planning to do with that axe this late at night?"

Lin Qingshan hadn’t sprayed on Mosquito Repellent when he came out, keeping his body moving to avoid them.

As he suddenly stopped, mosquitoes buzzed and threw themselves at him.

Lin Qingshan, clearly annoyed, slapped his arm, killing a pesky mosquito.

He replied with a grievance, "Wife, I can’t sleep."

Upon hearing the pitiful tone of the man, any anger in Ning Xinrou’s heart dissipated.

She took Lin Qingshan’s hand and led him back inside.

"What’s wrong? What’s keeping you awake?" she asked, applying itch-relief medication on him.

Lin Qingshan’s eyes showed a hint of red, weary and reddened with blood vessels from fatigue and staying up late.

He turned his head away, his expression awkward. "...My little sister has a boyfriend."

As a mature man, he intellectually knew it was normal for Tangtang to have a boyfriend, but emotionally he found himself in rejection.

A burning sensation emerged within.

Ning Xinrou was surprised by this reason and her eyelid twitched.

"Tangtang is growing up. It’s only a matter of time before she has a boyfriend. What are you fretting about? Are you afraid Comrade Gu won’t treat your sister well?"

She shook her head. "You’ve seen for yourself how Gu Yingzhou treats your sister; he was very considerate and made her comfortable at the dinner table. If he didn’t truly care for her, how could he act like that?"

"You are just a brother, and sooner or later, you’ll hand your sister’s hand over to another man, letting him take on the lifelong task of cherishing her, something you can’t avoid.

The only thing you can do is to be a guardian for your sister, support her, and make sure no one dares to bully her."

Ning Xinrou left Lin Qingshan, drenched in sweat, to his own thoughts.

She went out to wring a wet towel and quickly returned, wiping down his face and neck.

Lin Qingshan heaved a long sigh, a slight frown etched between his eyebrows.

"I’m not fretting, it’s just... too sudden.

Jing City is so far away; I’m afraid that if Tangtang marries into the Gu Family, she’ll be wronged with no one to speak for her."

Lin Caixia of the elder uncle’s family married a brute, and was bullied at the Yang Family just like that.

On the few occasions she returned to her parental home, she always bore wounds.
