Chapter 593: The phenomenon of human-to-human transmission appears in 593

Li Xiuli didn’t bother with those two, looking at Lin Lu, she said, "Head of the family, how about we raise a few more pigs next year?"

"We could...could..." Lin Lu furrowed his brows, "It’s just that I’m worried we won’t have enough feed, let’s talk about it later."

Once Li Xiuli heard that, she took the big bundle of cash from his hand and started counting again.

The feeling of counting money was too exhilarating.

In fact, at this very moment, the act of counting money had become a widespread phenomenon at Shuangshan Brigade.

Everyone was experiencing the thrill of a windfall.

Seeing her family so engrossed in the allure of money and unable to extricate themselves, Lin Tang shook her head helplessly and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

After finishing cooking and just about to call everyone to eat, she saw Gu Yingzhou entering the courtyard with a bag in hand.

Lin Tang was facing the doorway and caught sight of him as soon as she lifted her eyes.

She stepped forward to greet him, her face radiant with a smile, "How come you’re here?"

When the Lin Family heard the noise and saw their future son-in-law coming, they hastily restrained their embarrassing excitement and all adopted a serious demeanor.

"Yingzhou is here..."

"Have you eaten yet? If not, wait and eat with us," said Li Xiuli.

After speaking, realizing that she hadn’t cooked yet, she hurried toward the kitchen.

Wealth intoxicates...

Seeing this, Lin Tang quickly said, "Mom, I’ve already made the food."

Li Xiuli stopped in her tracks, her face full of distress, "My poor girl worked hard. Why didn’t you call me? Just one shout, and I would have snapped out of it."

The Lin Family’s meals were certainly no small feat.

Lin Tang smiled gently, "It’s rare to see Mom so happy; I cook fast, it didn’t take much effort."

Looking at her soft and tender daughter, Li Xiuli felt a warmth in her heart.

Indeed, a daughter is like a warm coat.

Lin Lu saw his wife had only asked Yingzhou one question before she ran off to the kitchen and felt a bit of disbelief, so he took it upon himself to entertain his future son-in-law.

"How did you get here?"

Gu Yingzhou put down his bag and replied, "I rode a bicycle, it’s parked at the entrance."

After an exchange of pleasantries, Lin Lu found himself at a loss for words.

The atmosphere turned awkward.

He didn’t know what other fathers-in-law talked about with their sons-in-law; he just never seemed to know what to say.

...Perhaps this was what Tangtang referred to as the generation gap.

If it were someone from the countryside, they could chat about earning work points.

But his future son-in-law seemed to be a capable man, and in fact, was indeed capable, managing a whole factory of people.

Talking about the brigade’s affairs... it just didn’t seem fitting.

Just as Lin Lu’s brow furrowed in contemplation, Mu Sheng arrived.

Lin Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a beaming smile, "Asheng is here."

With a slight upward curve of his lips, Mu Sheng greeted, "Master."

After calling out, he said, "I heard that the brigade’s pigs were ready for market today, so I came to have a look."

He had been busy in the morning, hence he only arrived now.

After finishing his words, he nodded at Gu Yingzhou.

Without neglecting his future son-in-law, Lin Lu grinned from ear to ear, "You’re all too polite."

Gu Yingzhou replied, "It’s only right."

Mu Sheng was a man of few words, simply nodding without speaking.

Feeling out of place due to the crowded courtyard, he decided to go chop firewood instead.

Lin Lu was used to his apprentice’s relentless nature; he felt nothing but sympathy.

Without making a fuss, he knew to treat him well in other ways.

Relationships between people are always reciprocal.

Gu Yingzhou, as a factory manager, obviously had high emotional intelligence.

Noticing Lin Lu’s discomfort, he took the initiative to bring up the hot topic of the brigade.

"Uncle Lin, did everything go smoothly with the brigade’s pig sales today?"

This topic was close to home, and Lin Lu immediately found himself with plenty to say, slapping his thigh and laughing, "Smoothly, very smoothly. Our brigade’s pigs are all top-grade, sold for a good price; everyone is thrilled."

Gu Yingzhou was touched by the genuine smile on his face, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

"That is indeed good news, the Machinery Factory has arranged for the Meat Packing Factory to save a good amount of pigs, and when the time comes, all our factory workers will be able to enjoy pork raised by our brigade."

Lin Lu: "You have good taste, the meat from our brigade is definitely delicious."

Once they hit upon his area of expertise, he opened up like a chatterbox and rattled on about his experiences in pig farming.

Gu Yingzhou listened intently, nodding from time to time, making one eager to share even more.

In the courtyard, someone was chopping wood with their head down, others were talking softly, some were chuckling heartily, and kids squatted in the corner, making a ruckus... The simple happiness of ordinary people was all here.

Lin Tang and Li Xiuli brought out the food, calling the family to the meal.

Two large tables were joined together in the courtyard.

Those who needed to wash hands did so, and those who were ready took their seats at the tables, the scene quickly becoming lively.

Lin Qingmu also sauntered back from his buddy’s house.

Lin Lu, seeing his whole family neatly gathered, kept a smile at the corners of his mouth and went back into the house to fetch his treasured bottle of alcohol.

"It’s rare for everyone to be together, so let’s all have a good drink today."

Li Xiuli glanced at the head of the household, and seeing his genuine happiness, she didn’t stop him but instead brought out the cups.

With the situation as it was, Lin Lu became even happier.

Once everyone settled down, Lin Qingmu was shocked to find that his status within the family had plummeted.

He was seated quite far from his father, his mother, and his younger sister.

His sister and the youngsters don’t count, their place in the family has always been high.

Gu Yingzhou, well, no need to go into that; he’s the prospective son-in-law, much more popular than him, the troublesome son.

But what about Mu Sheng? Is an apprentice more valued than a son?

Why is he the only one stuck at the edge?

He had only just returned a few days ago, yet he was already out of favor?

Lin Qingmu couldn’t understand.

On the spot, he was so aggravated that he served himself an extra-large bowl of rice.

Li Xiuli saw this and twitched her eyelid.

What was this troublesome son kicking up a fuss about now?

Lin Lu, on the other hand, didn’t notice and served Gu Yingzhou and Mu Sheng, calling out.

"Drink up, this alcohol was given to me by Tangtang, and I’ve been too reluctant to drink it. I’m only giving each one of you a cup, so take your time..."

Mu Sheng took the cup with both hands, his eyes filled with sincerity, "Thank you, Master."

He really didn’t know how else to express his gratitude to his master and his wife, as life with the Lin Family made him feel that life wasn’t just about surviving without hope.

Thwack—

Lin Lu slapped his apprentice’s shoulder without holding back and hummed, "What’s there to thank for? Once a teacher, always a father. As long as you don’t stray from the path, you’ll be my disciple, Lin Lu’s, for a lifetime."

Lin Tang didn’t mention how Mu Sheng nearly strayed off path, but Mu Sheng carried that guilt within him, having opened up to his master and mistress about it days before.

Putting himself in others’ shoes, Lin Lu didn’t think much of it as everyone has their moments of deviation.

When life is barely bearable, who cares about right and wrong?

Isn’t life just forcing us?

Understanding does not mean agreement, so after a long heart-to-heart, he knew his apprentice truly recognized his mistake.

Plus, Old Yuan was feeling a bit better and had also given Mu Sheng a severe scolding, which eased Lin Lu’s worries.

Mu Sheng’s dark eyes shone with determination, "I want to walk honorably among people, never straying to the wrong path. Rest assured, Master."

Lin Lu laughed, "Let’s not talk about this anymore. Drink up."

After saying this, he took a sip of the alcohol and smacked his lips, "This is living like a deity!"

Li Xiuli scolded him, "Eat something first, Tangtang said drinking on an empty stomach isn’t good."

Lin Lu readily agreed and put down his cup to eat.

Gu Yingzhou quietly served Lin Tang, taking very good care of her.

"...So cheesy," Zhou Mei murmured softly.

She was puzzled. There didn’t seem to be any excessive displays of affection between the two, yet one couldn’t help but let their gaze drift to them.

Once one looked over, it was hard to look away again.

It all just felt so clingy.
