Chapter 546: 546 Boasting Competition

"Practice on the weekend?" Cao Xiaoyu whispered, "Can I do that?"

Du Xiaojuan assured her, "Of course you can, I’ll apply for you. When there’s no one around, you won’t be nervous anymore, right?"

Cao Xiaoyu glanced at the loudspeaker situated by the window and her heart began to thump.

"...But I’m nervous," she whispered.

Du Xiaojuan had never seen such a timid comrade and didn’t know what expression to make.

"Try again, if it really doesn’t work, then we can talk about it."

No! I don’t want to try.

I’m probably not good enough either.

Cao Xiaoyu denied herself in her heart first.

That lack of confidence also showed on her face.

Seeing her resistant look, Du Xiaojuan was extremely helpless.

"You are now a broadcaster at the Textile Factory Broadcasting Station, and broadcasting on schedule is your job. Running away is useless, the only option is to face the difficulty head-on."

"How can you, a builder of the nation, be frightened by such a small difficulty?"

"Retreating is shameful, and I hope you brave your responsibilities, not to let the organization down."

As she spoke these words, her tone was a bit more severe.

Cao Xiaoyu felt that she had let the organization down, and her face turned pale again.

This was worse than when she was in school, unable to answer questions when called upon by the math teacher, anxious and restless.

She hung her head low, her eyes suddenly reddening, her heart a mess.

All kinds of emotions surged up.

-

The same day, in the afternoon, at Shuangshan Brigade.

It was already getting dark.

Lin Zhicheng, still at school, hadn’t come home.

The Lin Family, having waited left and right without seeing anyone, began to feel uneasy.

Li Xiuli, seeing it was nearly dark, said worriedly, "Why hasn’t Zhicheng come home yet? I don’t know if the teacher is holding late classes, or if he’s playing around and forgotten to come home."

If he doesn’t come home on time after school, he’s in for a scolding from his father when he gets back.

Lin Lu was also worried, glancing towards the door every now and then.

But he said, "Don’t scare yourself, Zhicheng is smart, he won’t have any problems."

Lin Zhixuan, Lin Zhiming, and Lin Fei, the three little ones, sat on the threshold of the gate, their eyes eagerly watching the distance.

Hoping their big brother would appear soon.

Lin Lu pretended to be calm and sat stiffly for a while but couldn’t contain himself and stood up.

"I can’t sit still," he said.

"You start cooking, my dear. I’ll go to meet our grandson."

Li Xiuli fetched a flashlight from the house and handed it to him, saying, "Take the flashlight, so you don’t have trouble seeing the road when it gets dark."

"Right!" Lin Lu agreed and hurried off.

Li Xiuli watched his figure disappear, her heart pounding non-stop.

She had a feeling that something terrible might happen.

"...Could something have happened to Zhicheng?" she murmured.

With that thought, she couldn’t sit still and quickly walked to the door.

"Zhiming, keep an eye on Zhixuan and Xiaofei. I’m going to look for your big brother with your grandpa. It’s getting dark, don’t run around, do you hear me?"

Lin Zhiming nodded his head, "Granny, don’t worry, I promise to take good care of my brother and sister, I won’t go anywhere."

Lin Zhixuan and Lin Fei, noticing the worried expression on Li Xiuli’s face, didn’t make any trouble, obediently nodding their heads, sitting hand in hand on the threshold.

"Granny, we’ll just wait here for you all!"

"Yeah, we’ll be good."

Li Xiuli trusted her grandchildren, affectionately rubbed the heads of each of the three little ones, and hurried out the door.

She headed straight for Uncle Lin’s house.

She was so anxious that she walked briskly, soon arriving at the Captain’s house.

"Sister-in-law,"

She called out as she entered.

Gao Ping, hearing her sister-in-law’s voice, came out from the kitchen.

She even forgot to put down the ladle in her hand.

"What is it? What’s the matter? Why do you sound so flustered? Did something happen?" she asked quickly.

Without a word of small talk, Li Xiuli went straight to the point, "Sister-in-law, have Tiedan and Choudou come home yet?"

Gao Ping, hearing her sisters-in-law ask about her grandson, thought the two boys had gotten into trouble again.

She shouted toward Lin Baoguo and Guo Xiu’s house, "Tiedan, Choudou, you two come out right now, have you caused trouble again?"

Lin Aiguo, hearing his mother’s heaven-shattering voice, slowly sauntered out of the house.

He first called out to Li Xiuli, "Second Auntie."

Then, looking at Gao Ping with a tone full of schadenfreude, "Mom, what did Tiedan and Choudou get into this time? Set fire to someone’s corn leaves? Or didn’t do their homework again?"

Gao Ping, seeing him enjoying the chaos without a care, felt a pain in her eyes.

"Look at yourself, do you have any semblance of being an elder?"

A perfectly good young man, with neither the appearance of standing nor sitting properly, just a punk, too annoying.

Lin Aiguo let out a heh-heh laugh, rolling his eyes, "Heh, big nephew always digging pits for the elders, whoever wants him can take him away."

He remembered that day, just after delivering soy sauce, he wanted to go home and sleep blissfully.

As he passed the big tree at the village entrance, a few kids were playing and roughhousing.

In the midst of their play, they started to brag.

One said, "My brother can lift a sack of corn, stronger than an old ox."

Another said, "My dad can punch through a wolf with one fist."

Yet another, not to be outdone, "Hmph, my mom can eat twenty buns in one breath."

...

After their bragging, the children had smug expressions on their faces.

As if they had done something particularly extraordinary.

They all then turned to Tiedan and Choudou, who hadn’t boasted.

The two Lin boys didn’t dare to fabricate tales about their grandparents or parents, so they used their seldom-at-home Third Uncle as a scapegoat.

Tiedan turned red in the face and bellowed, "My Third Uncle loves to eat shit!!"

There was silence for a few seconds, then suddenly the laughter erupted.

"Ha ha ha ha, Tiedan’s Third Uncle loves to eat shit."

...Lin Aiguo heard this crystal clear.

His face turned dark at that moment.

Regaining his senses, he bellowed back.

"I damn well don’t love to eat shit!!!"

What rotten kids to say such things.

What infuriated Lin Aiguo the most was that after this incident, the whole brigade heard about his supposed love for shit, and he lost all face.

This was all thanks to the two great nephews who wanted to kill him with filial piety.

Spending their days bragging about nonsense.

Just brag, but why brag about him loving to eat shit, is that something a person could eat?!

Damn it, so infuriating!

Mindset blowing up!

Thinking about the non-stop teasing from the villagers, the smile on Lin Aiguo’s face completely vanished.

Seriously, these two filial great nephews, whoever wants them can have them.

So tired!

After Lin Aiguo finished speaking, Tiedan and Choudou silently appeared behind him.

The two little ones frowned as they looked at him.

Their expressions dissatisfied.

"We are Lin Family people, we’re not going anywhere!"

After expressing their steadfast Lin Family stance, Tiedan, articulate as ever, blurted out.

"If Third Uncle doesn’t want to stay at home, you can become a live-in son-in-law, then you’ll be someone else’s family, what’s there to worry about?"

Lin Aiguo: "..."

Pfft!

He almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

He clutched his chest, tottering on the verge of collapse.

"My chest hurts, I can’t take it anymore, I’m losing control..." the urge to strike out at someone surged.

Lin Zhijin, seeing that he had angered his Third Uncle to this extent, felt his heart lurch.

He hurriedly went to support him.

Letting Lin Aiguo place his hand on his own head, serving as a makeshift crutch.
