Chapter 572: 572 Everyone who sees would say it’s a perfect match!

Gu Yingzhou noticed the little girl’s gaze and turned his head to look over.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked with a light laugh.

Being stared at by others only annoyed him, but when Tangtang did it, all he felt was joy.

Lin Tang was completely oblivious to the double standard, and asked the question she had been wanting to ask for a long time.

"...Are you mixed race?" she asked curiously.

It was really because Zhouzhou’s nose was high at the bridge and narrow at the wings, and his face had a sharply defined handsomeness.

Looking at his whole face, there was a slight harshness in his expression when he wasn’t smiling, but when the corners of his mouth lifted, there was the refreshing quality of a traditional handsome man.

He just didn’t look like a purebred compatriot.

Gu Yingzhou wiped the water off his face, responding without surprise, "...You could say that."

He had heard that his great-grandfather had married a foreign noblewoman, and indeed, he and his brothers looked quite different from other domestic men, especially around the eyes and nose.

Lin Tang didn’t press further.

The thought of something made her eyes curve like crescent moons.

Gu Yingzhou watched the little girl’s face brighten with a sweet smile, his expression indulgent, "What are you thinking about?"

Lin Tang realized her thoughts had wandered too far and reined them in.

Clearing her throat, she said, "It’s nothing."

Lin Zhicheng, carrying a water bottle, returned home to refill it, only to find his little aunt and future little uncle there.

And there were many books on the table.

His eyes overflowed with ecstasy, and he jumped with excitement.

"Little aunt, little aunt, are these all books from our brigade?"

Lin Zhicheng was followed by children from the village.

Seeing the books on the table, their eyes lit up.

"Tangtang sis, these books are?" Xiaohua asked with a face full of anticipation.

Lin Tang ruffled Xiaohua’s coarse short hair and nodded affirmatively to her guess.

"Yes, they’re all yours."

Once they got the definitive word, a chorus of children’s laughter erupted.

Their giggles were peculiarly joyous, strange yet sincerely heartwarming.

Lin Tang looked at the little ones’ happy smiling faces and spoke warmly, "There’s a dictionary among these books. You should first learn to recognize words properly. Once you know more words, you’ll be able to read all these books. For now, start with the picture books."

Xiaohua and the others nodded obediently.

Their little faces were flushed with happiness as they touched the books on the table.

"Thank you, Tangtang sis, we’re going to tell everyone the good news."

With that, they ran off like the wind.

Lin Zhicheng watched his little friends’ unhesitating departure, smirked to himself, and chuckled inwardly.

"Usually it’s all ’Zhicheng this, Zhicheng that,’ but now they’ve forgotten all about me, huh?"

Hmph, he knew those younger brothers were just here to see his little aunt.

They said they’d accompany him, but it was all lies.

Lin Tang patted Lin Zhicheng on the head, laughing, "Why are you getting upset with your little friends? Be generous. The brigade has books now, and Xiaohua and the others are happy.

You should know that not everyone has your... the privileged condition of having books to read."

Just like her in the past, getting a hold of a tattered book, no matter how dirty or torn, made her immensely happy.

Lin Zhicheng scratched his head, grinning sheepishly.

"I was just saying, I’m not actually mad."

He was definitely not one to be petty!

"I know you’re generous," said Lin Tang with a smile, "Go wash your hands. There are buns over there."

Lin Zhicheng’s gaze accurately fell on the bag filled with buns, and he swallowed.

He walked over to the tap and washed his hands.

"Little aunt, can I take some buns for Niuniu and the others?"

Lin Tang, washing her hands as well, replied, "Of course, but you’ll have to make sure they wash their hands first."

Lin Zhicheng clenched his fist and thumped his chest.

"Don’t worry, I’ll make sure the younger brothers and sisters do."

Having said that, he took a few buns and dashed out the door like a blaze.

By the side, Gu Yingzhou was organizing the books, placing the larger ones at the bottom and the smaller ones on top.

Once he finished, he sought Lin Tang’s opinion.

"How should these books be handled?"

Lin Tang noticed that the bookshelf in the courtyard was gone and guessed that her family might have sent it to the library, she said, "I plan to send them to the library. Is there anything happening at the Machinery Factory?"

How could the factory director have time to deal with these miscellaneous things?!

"Nothing at the moment," Gu Yingzhou replied.

He picked up the books and headed for the door, "Come on, I’ll help you carry them over."

There were quite a few books, including the ones Gu Yingzhou had brought, which made up two large bundles.

Lin Tang intended to take one bundle, but the man stopped her as she reached out.

"Don’t move, I’ll do it."

The two headed for the library, but halfway there they ran into Tang Kairui, who was on his way to the Sauce Factory.

"What are you doing? Got some books?" Tang Kairui asked, surprised.

Didn’t they just talk about purchasing books yesterday? Yet here they were with so many already in just one night.

He started to worry that the brigade’s library wouldn’t be big enough.

Lin Tang smiled and said, "Yes, just these for now, there will be more batches going in later. These are enough to read, right?"

Tang Kairui’s eyes were dazzled by the smile on her face for a moment.

He quickly composed his expression.

"Enough, I’m afraid we won’t be able to get through all of these," he joked.

Not wanting to neglect Gu Yingzhou, Tang Kairui took the initiative to speak up, "Thanks for the trouble, Comrade Gu."

His face wore a polite smile, but his eyes were as still as clear water.

It was obviously just superficial politeness.

The little rose he had cared for was plucked by someone else, and he couldn’t possibly show a friendly face to the one who picked the flower.

Putting on a facade was merely to avoid making the rose in his heart feel troubled.

Gu Yingzhou remained composed, his expression unaltered.

"Matters concerning Tangtang are never a bother," he said with a steady voice, his eyes full of tenderness as he looked at Lin Tang.

Lin Tang met Gu Yingzhou’s gaze and smiled.

Their eyes locked, the man handsome and the woman beautiful, they looked well-matched to any onlooker.

A hint of bitterness flashed across Tang Kairui’s face but vanished in an instant.

He stepped forward and took one bundle of books from Gu Yingzhou.

"This is a village matter, I have no reason just to watch. I’ll come with you."

Gu Yingzhou, hearing him say this, did not refuse.

The three of them continued together towards the library.

On the way, Lin Tang looked at Tang Kairui.

"Tang Xiaorui, do you want to work in the library?"

Compared to the Sauce Factory, the library was undoubtedly more comfortable.

There were books to read, not much work, and it was clean.

Most people would want to work in the library.

Yet Tang Kairui did not have this desire.

"I don’t want to," he said bluntly.

Lin Tang was surprised and questioned, "Why not? Don’t you think working in the library is better than at the Sauce Factory?"

Tang Kairui shook his head inwardly.

If he left the Sauce Factory, who would take over his work?

Could it be left to the educated youths? Would the people of the brigade trust an educated youth who had only been there for a short time?

They wouldn’t.

... and then Lin Xiaotang would have to find a solution again.

Forget it, he had gotten used to it anyway.

Being busy had its advantages, such as... no time for idle thoughts.

"I don’t, I’m used to the Sauce Factory," Tang Kairui replied naturally.

He even had a smile, appearing quite satisfied with his job at the Sauce Factory.

Lin Tang didn’t understand but expressed respect, "Alright, if you think it’s good, then it’s good."

As they spoke, the three arrived at the library.

There stood a tall wooden sign at the entrance.

It read ’Shuangshan Brigade Library’ in big letters.

It looked quite official.
