Chapter 567: 567 Is it my extravagant hope? (Extra Update)

Lin Lu was utterly speechless, "..."

Well, whatever you say.

While they engaged in awkward small talk on one side, the atmosphere between Lin Tang and Gu Yingzhou was much better.

At this time, the two were in the backyard.

The grunting of three big fat pigs filled their ears.

The Lin Family’s pigsty was very clean, but it also had a strong odor.

Lin Tang mixed the pig feed and picked up the bucket to pour it into the stone trough.

The three big fat pigs grunted and jostled together, wedging themselves against the trough to eat.

Gu Yingzhou, learning how to mix pig feed from Lin Tang, glanced at the big fat pigs in the pigsty and remarked with a sense of wonder.

"These pigs have grown really well. Are all pigs in the brigade this fat?"

Truth be told, he had never seen pigs this fat before.

Lin Tang’s expression held a bit of pride, "Of course. After all, they have been carefully raised for over half a year. It would be a disservice to all that hard work if they didn’t turn out like this."

To raise pigs, the brigade members had truly put in a lot of hard work and heart, so today’s achievement was no surprise.

Gu Yingzhou, aware of the hardships of rural life, said, "Yeah, everyone has worked hard. The pigs will be ready to sell soon, right?"

Lin Tang nodded, "Yes, in about a week.

Selling them before winter arrives will mean the brigade has some money.

The days of hunger and freezing in the past shouldn’t recur, hopefully."

Gu Yingzhou, thinking that the Machinery Factory was also planning to purchase a batch of pork as holiday gifts, half-jokingly said, "The Machinery Factory is planning to buy some pigs, too. Could you perhaps open a back door for me?"

At this time, pork was a very tight commodity.

Food stores were unable to meet the demand for various foods, and meat was especially scarce.

The Machinery Factory had to make reservations in advance at the meat-processing factory if it wanted to purchase meat.

"Asking me is no use," Lin Tang said, spreading her hands and joking in return, "I suggest you talk to my uncle about that, I can’t interfere with brigade matters."

Gu Yingzhou feigned surprise, a hint of a shallow smile spreading on his handsome face.

"Is that so? I thought that as the future son-in-law of the Shuangshan Brigade, I might receive some special treatment. It seems I was expecting too much."

His attractive face revealed a faint sense of disappointment, making one want to smooth away the worry between his brows.

Lin Tang watched her theatric thespian boyfriend and giggled behind her hand.

Her body leaned, and she collapsed against Gu Yingzhou, still giggling.

"Your skin is getting thicker, Comrade Gu Yingzhou."

Her voice was soft, and when she pronounced Gu Yingzhou’s name, it was filled with tenderness, as if wrapped in a layer of honey.

Just hearing her voice, one could feel the affection in it.

Gu Yingzhou’s lips pursed slightly, and his eyes deepened suddenly.

"What’s the need for face in front of one’s partner? The face isn’t important," he said in a husky voice.

As his father used to say, face was worth nothing in front of one’s wife.

Lin Tang: "..." That really isn’t necessary!

Seeing that Tangtang had run out of words, Gu Yingzhou’s eyes brightened with amusement.

He naturally shifted the topic.

"Tangtang, your birthday is coming up. Is there anything special you want as a gift?"

In fact, he had prepared Tangtang’s birthday gift a long time ago, but he wasn’t sure if it was what the young girl wanted.

That was why he asked.

If Tangtang had something else she wanted more, he would do his best to fulfill it.

Lin Tang was taken aback for a moment, and after mentally calculating the dates, she realized that her birthday was just half a month away. Her eyes lit up.

"I almost forgot my birthday was coming up. I don’t have anything particular in mind, I’ll like whatever you give me."

Ah, the chance to receive a bunch of gifts was coming, full of anticipation.

She liked the feeling of unwrapping presents.

Gu Yingzhou looked at her and, regaining his composure, said in a deep voice: "Alright, then I’ll just go with what I’ve planned."

Lin Tang’s eyes shone with anticipation, "Saying that, I’m suddenly quite excited."

Gu Yingzhou gave her a flirtatious stroke of her head and chuckled deeply.

"Just wait and see, you’re probably going to like it."

After that, without waiting for Lin Tang to ask more, he tidied up the pig-feeding tools, took Lin Tang to wash their hands, and headed for the front yard.

Lin Lu, seeing the pair’s silhouettes, felt a sense of relief.

"Yingzhou, thank you for your help, come and have some tea here."

Seeing the future son-in-law who could hold his own, the future father-in-law showed an unusually warm enthusiasm.

This treatment was something Gu Yingzhou had never experienced before.

He arched an eyebrow slightly, remained composed, and sat down, drinking a sip of tea as a courtesy.

"Thank you, Uncle Lin, I was just thirsty."

Kong Fangren was flabbergasted at this scene.

In his eyes, Gu Yingzhou had always been a cold and indifferent person, and it was hard to imagine him being so... obedient.

Glancing at Lin Tang, he silently laughed.

The love of young people always seemed to have the warmth of the sun.

"Comrade Lin Tang, I have seen what you did with the automatic warping machine, congratulations!" Kong Fangren turned to Lin Tang, his face showing admiration.

Lin Tang modestly replied, "We’re just dabbling in small things, nothing compared to what you’ve done."

Although the two couldn’t really be compared, she had to admit that researchers like Professor Kong represented great and enduring achievements, something she couldn’t match for the time being.

Kong Fangren shook his head.

"You shouldn’t say that. We’re all working for the country; there’s no distinction between strong and weak."

With that, he looked mischievously towards Gu Yingzhou.

"...If you don’t believe me, ask Comrade Lin what Comrade Gu thinks?"

Lin Tang: "..."

That’s not fitting with your image of an upright and serious researcher!

Gu Yingzhou put down his teacup.

That teacup was something Lin Tang got for the house, specifically for brewing tea, which Lin Lu could hardly bear to use.

It was only taken out from the bottom of the box for guests.

He looked at Lin Tang, his expression serious and disciplined.

"Professor Kong is correct; Tangtang, you need not belittle yourself," Gu Yingzhou said earnestly.

Lin Tang was being modest and didn’t feel that their research was inferior.

She was proud of their achievements.

Upon hearing that, she smiled and nodded seriously.

"Got it. I know."

As Gu Yingzhou saw the young girl’s compliant demeanour, he couldn’t help but give her several more glances.

Lin Tang met his gaze and smiled with curved eyes.

Pink bubbles seemed to burst forth in the air, sticky and sweet.

Lin Lu, watching their interaction, felt a complicated mix of emotions.

He drank a mouthful of the now-cold tea and averted his eyes, deciding that what he didn’t see couldn’t bother him.

Kong Fangren caught this scene and was somewhat taken aback.

It looked like he could start preparing the wedding dowry for Comrades Gu and Lin in advance.

The rain outside had lessened.

Birds that had been hiding somewhere now emerged, chirping and twittering.

By this time, the sky had completely darkened.

Kong Fangren noted that the rain had stopped and, after thanking the Lin Family again, he prepared to leave.

"Comrade Lin Tang, thank you for the help earlier. If there’s anything I can assist you with, just let me know."

With a golden opportunity like this presented before her, Lin Tang naturally wouldn’t throw it away.

She smilingly said, "Alright."

Kong Fangren nodded, then turned his attentive gaze to Lin Zhicheng, whose lively eyes and plain appearance were quite different from Lin Tang’s.

His voice was gentle.

"Little guy, thanks for saving Yuanyuan. Do you have any requests?"

He had an elegant and patient demeanor, and his smile exuded an inherent warmth.
