Chapter 489: 489 developed into a little brother

Lin Lu listened as the villagers praised his Tangtang, the curvature of his lips growing ever wider.

After showing off enough, he finally said, "This award was won by my Tangtang in Sea City, they said it was for saving people’s lives and property safety. We don’t really understand all that, but besides this, there’s also an award certificate..."

The Shuangshan Brigade members, who had never been to the Provincial City, had their eyes wide as saucers.

To these folks, the unfamiliar term "Sea City" only signified a place of wealth, where they had everything.

In the eyes of country people, this place was an immensely tall and distant existence.

So when they heard that Lin Tang had won an award from Sea City, the shock and pride were indescribable.

"An award from Sea City, Lin Tang is truly remarkable!"

If the previous ’remarkable’ had a hint of flattery, now it was left with nothing but genuine admiration.

"Your Tangtang is really the pride of our entire brigade."

"Uncle Lin, this enamel jar is Tangtang’s award, yet you’re willing to use it?"

Lin Lu had more to say, sighing.

He showed an unwilling expression on his face.

"Ah! I wanted to keep it as a precious item, but Tangtang insisted that I use it. I said I wouldn’t, but she got unhappy, so what else could I do?" he said, his face showing a helpless look.

Yet the barely concealed pride on his face revealed his true feelings.

The crowd was taken aback.

There was an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

They felt envy, and also something strange.

If they lived in future generations, they would know that this complex feeling in their hearts was purely because they were being Versailles-ed.

Lin Tang returned to the village amidst this weird atmosphere.

Seeing all the village uncles and aunties wearing expressions that were hard to put into words, she curiously asked, "What’s going everyone?

Lin Lu had just finished showing off, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Seeing his daughter, his face became even more cherished, "Tangtang, why are you back? Aren’t you working today?"

Lin Tang didn’t want to bring her work frustrations home, so she made up an excuse with a smile, " ... took a day off."

Lin Lu didn’t give it much thought, "Oh, is that so!"

Seizing the opportunity, a villager chimed in, "Tangtang, we heard from your dad that you won an award in Sea City again?

Tell us what exactly happened, so we can all learn something."

Lin Tang glanced at Lin Lu, knowing her dad had been boasting again.

Shaking her head helplessly, she said, "I did win an award, but let’s talk about how some other time, we’ve got guests at home."

She didn’t plan to say much about the Sea City incident.

She wouldn’t elaborate even to her family, much less the villagers.

After saying this, without waiting for further questions, Lin Tang introduced Su Qi and Su Zheng to Lin Lu.

"Dad, this is Comrade Su Qi, the editor-in-chief of the Xiangyang Newspaper, and this little guy is Comrade Su Zheng."

Su Zheng felt acknowledged and his initial trepidation in a strange place vanished.

Blinking his eyes, he pointed to his face, eagerly reminding Lin Lu, "Grandpa Lin, it’s me, I’m Zhengzheng, do you remember me?"

When Su Qi heard his son actually using honorifics, he was quite surprised.

Lin Lu looked down at Su Zheng.

Oh, it’s that little meat lover! His face looks even rounder.

"It’s Zhengzheng, I remember you, your little face has gotten rounder," Lin Lu said with a chuckle.

Su Zheng was overjoyed upon hearing this, touched his own little face and said happily, "Really? That’s great.

If my grandparents knew, they would be so happy, I’ll call them when I get back."

Being chubby was good, it meant prosperity and cuteness, which he liked.

Lin Lu was inwardly astonished.

Such a trivial matter was worth a phone call, that seemed way too extravagant.

But that was their business, not his, so he didn’t utter any unnecessary words.

Welcoming Su Qi and his son, "Let’s not stand here, come inside the house!" he said as he led the way.

Su Zheng, being an extrovert, followed briskly.

As soon as he entered the door and saw the four little ones playing in the courtyard, the lively scene thrilled him to no end.

"Hello, I’m Su Zheng, you can call me Zhengzheng, can I join you guys in playing?" he approached with his easy-going manner.

This kid, dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and shorts with a pair of plastic sandals below, was white and chubby, a real handsome lad.

Lin Zhicheng, seeing Lin Tang and the others behind him, knew right away what was going on.

All right, this is a guest.

"Of course, you’re family once you’re here, don’t be shy. Do you want some water? I’ll go get you some," he said, standing up and dusting off his hands.

Su Zheng was not bashful, licked his lips and said, "I’d like some, do you have anything cold?"

Lin Zhicheng nodded, "Yes, just wait a bit."

Having greeted the young guest courteously, he called out to Su Qi.

He then said to Lin Tang, "Auntie, go about your business, I’ll take care of the little guest."

The rare chubby visitor at home, he was determined to make him his little brother, wasn’t he?

He came all the way from the city to see the Shuangshan Brigade’s top dog, Lin Zhicheng, not using any of the village’s cherished items... but to dazzle the kid with his starry eyes.

Lin Tang was oblivious to her nephew’s thoughts, and simply smiled, "Alright, I’ll leave him to you then."

It took Su Qi by surprise as to how the Lin Family’s kids reacted.

On the way here, they had seen other kids, who seemed a bit shy, not daring to make eye contact when speaking.

That feeling of inferiority was as glaring as glass exposed to the sun.

But Lin Family’s kids were not like that at all.

Their eyes were bright, their expressions lively, and they spoke confidently, not at all like children from the countryside.

Su Qi gave it some thought, realizing that a family that could raise an outstanding girl like Lin Tang could well raise a few more without surprise.

Letting go of his preoccupations, he laughed, "Then we’ll trouble this young comrade with our Zhengzheng."

Lin Zhicheng’s cheeks flushed a bit, waving his hands, "No need to thank me, it’s only right."

After finishing his words, he turned and went to fetch water for the guests.

Su Qi said to Lin Lu, complimenting, "Such smart and vivacious grandchildren, Uncle Lin, you’re blessed."

Lin Lu grinned, "Oh, not at all, you’re too kind."

Although saying this humbly, his expression was clearly joyful.

Lin Tang brought some water for the guests along with some washed wild fruits.

"You sit and have some water, Su Brother. My eldest brother is out, I’ll call him."

Lin Zhiming trotted outside, leaving behind a remark, "Auntie, I know where uncle is, I’ll call him!"

No sooner were his words trailing than his figure was gone.

Seeing that Zhiming was on it, Lin Tang decided to stay and entertain the guests.

Su Qi was meeting the Lin Family for the first time, being a relative from Yingzhou’s side.

He behaved appropriately, knowing how to get closer to the Lin Family.

Once seated, he immediately said with a smile, "Uncle Lin, speaking of which, we have another connection."

"Let me introduce myself, I’m Yingzhou’s brother-in-law."

"I should’ve brought a gift for our first meeting, but I came today mainly for business with Comrade Lin Qingshan, so I didn’t bring anything. I’ll make it up next time."

With that said, the relationship warmed up in an instant.
