Chapter 623: 623 He does get jealous, he just hides it deeper than anyone else.

Gu Yingzhou felt inexplicably upset for Tang Kairui, yet a faint smile appeared on his face, "I won’t eat anymore."

He was magnanimous, but this generosity was based on... Tangtang’s complete ignorance of Tang Kairui’s feelings.

After all, he was just an ordinary man.

He could get jealous too; he just hid it deeper than anyone else!

Lin Tang, oblivious to the other’s thoughts, added some milk tea to the cup and smiled, "Then have some milk tea."

A look of pleasure seeped out from Gu Yingzhou’s eyes as he graciously accepted.

-

Time flew, and three days passed.

That day, another great thing happened in the Lin Family.

Lin Qingshan received an honor medal!

When the news arrived, the Lin Family erupted like oil with a drop of water, boiling over.

"An honor medal? You?" Lin Lu looked at Lin Qingshan with a stunned face, doubtful, "Are you sure?"

How long had the eldest been working at the commune that he would get a medal?

The other members of the Lin Family were also staring at Lin Qingshan.

Facing his father’s skeptical gaze, Lin Qingshan felt a bit disheartened.

"Really!" he said helplessly, explaining, "It was already announced before I told you all."

Was he really that bad?

Li Xiuli wanted to pat Lin Qingshan on the arm, but due to her short stature, she only managed to hit his wrist.

"This is a good thing! Eldest, well done. With so many people at the commune, how come they gave the honor medal to you?"

Her gaze was skeptical.

Lin Qingshan: If you could tone down the disdain in your eyes, maybe that ’well done’ might be more convincing.

Thinking about why he received the honor medal, Lin Qingshan looked towards Lin Tang with gratitude.

"...I owe this recognition to Tangtang."

Lin Tang was full of question marks.

"...What does this have to do with me?"

She didn’t have an honor medal.

But this was an honor medal we’re talking about! It had significant uses.

Whether it was housing allocation at work, promotions, or other vague benefits.

Let alone the benefits for now, the key was reputation.

In an environment where everyone strived to be advanced, one can imagine the value of a reward from the Organization.

Lin Qingshan didn’t know where he pulled out a pig-raising manual, saying, "This, I was able to firmly establish myself in the commune thanks to this pig-raising manual. Without it, the honor medal wouldn’t have landed on my head, so that’s why I said I owe it to you."

He did attend middle school, but since he didn’t graduate, and suddenly joined the commune, of course, he wasn’t very sociable.

Nobody bullied him, but he was somewhat looked down upon.

Ever since the pig-raising manual was published and he was publicly praised by the director, everyone’s attitude towards him changed. They would call him Comrade Lin at the drop of a hat, and in an instant, everyone by his side became ’good people’.

Lin Qingshan was filled with complex emotions about this situation.

Lin Lu and Li Xiuli shifted their gaze away from Lin Qingshan and cast all the sporadic attention they had for him onto Lin Tang.

"Tangtang, you’ve worked hard." Lin Lu said affectionately, stroking his daughter’s hair.

Ah, his daughter really had it tough.

It wasn’t enough for her to become strong; she had to carry a bunch who weren’t as clever.

Such hard work!

Lin Tang, doubly confused, met Lin Lu’s eyes, and became even more puzzled when she saw a hint of sympathy in her father’s gaze.

"Huh?" she cocked her head.

What was this...

Li Xiuli glanced disdainfully at her three sons in turn, but when she turned to Lin Tang, her gaze softened beyond words.

"Your dad is worried about you," she explained.

Then, with a look of revulsion, she complained, "Your brothers rely on you for their jobs, for publishing books, even for getting an honor medal..."

Lin Qingshan kept a stoic face, "..." You might as well just report my ID number!

Seeing her parents unintentionally trampling on her older brother, Lin Tang smiled wryly.

"Mom, Dad, don’t disdain my big brother so much. Him getting the honor medal is a good thing. It’s his own ability, and it’s got nothing to do with me."

"...After all, my big brother is already the father of two children, you guys shouldn’t badmouth him anymore."

The fact that big brother has such a broad heart, otherwise, he might have been driven to depression by our parents.

A look of moved passed through Lin Qingshan’s eyes.

...Such a good sister, much better than that stinky little brother!

Yet, Lin Lu and Li Xiuli seemed unconvinced.

Of course, they have to keep saying it, otherwise, if the three little brats at home think they are truly capable and get arrogant, what will we do then?

Once someone gets cocky, it’s easy for them to mess up, and we still want to be Tangtang’s rock for a lifetime; we can’t afford to mess it up.

Thinking this to themselves, but in front of Lin Tang, the couple obediently complied.

"Sure, sure, sure, your mom and dad will listen to you," Li Xiuli coaxed softly.

After saying this, she looked towards Lin Qingshan and indeed praised him, "Qingshan, you did well too, don’t be arrogant, keep up the effort in the future."

The look on her face softened significantly.

Lin Qingshan, who had hardly ever seen such a tender gaze from his mother, felt quite uneasy inside.

"Mmm, I won’t be arrogant."

Li Xiuli immediately turned her head to look at Lin Tang and said, "Mom’s changed."

Her eyes were hopeful.

The always efficient Li Xiuli had just one weakness, and that was her pampered daughter.

Lin Tang looped her arm through her mother’s and said with a smile, "I can see that, Mom’s the best."

Upon hearing these words, Li Xiuli knew that she was beaming from ear to ear.

"You really know how to butter up your mother."

And sure enough, she really fell for it.

After the idle chat, Lin Tang asked Lin Qingshan about the matter of the medal of honor.

"Big brother, I heard that the recipients of the medal of honor are going to the Provincial City to attend the commendation meeting, right?"

Lin Qingshan: "Yes, we are going, after your engagement is settled, we’ll set off."

Anyway, it’s only a few days away, it won’t cause any delays.

"Director Yan and the others are going too, right?" Lin Tang inquired with concern.

Lin Qingshan nodded, "Yeah."

Li Xiuli looked Lin Qingshan up and down, her brows furrowed.

Looking towards the gentle Ning Xinrou, she instructed, "Xinrou, later I’ll give you some fabric coupons. Go to the supply and marketing cooperative to get some cloth and make some new clothes for the eldest. That’s the Provincial City, if he wears rags, I’m afraid people will look down on him."

Although she favored Tangtang, she cared deeply for all the boys in the family.

Ning Xinrou declined, "Mom, there’s no need; I still have fabric at home, enough to make a set of clothes for Qingshan."

She used to work at the Garment Factory, and they internally dealt with some flawed fabric, leaving her with quite a lot.

Li Xiuli, seeing that Ning Xinrou had it figured out, nodded, "As long as you know what you’re doing."

Having a capable daughter-in-law really made things convenient, nothing to worry about.

Lin Tang noticed her mother’s thoughts and smiled faintly.

How simple and unrefined their sentiments were!

She lowered her gaze in contemplation, falling silent for a moment.

Lin Lu thought his daughter wasn’t happy because she didn’t receive a medal of honor.

Patting Lin Tang’s head, he comforted, "...My daughter may not have a medal of honor, but she is still the pride of your mother and me!"

Li Xiuli followed, "That’s right, a person’s worth isn’t measured by some medal of honor, it’s fine even if you don’t have it."

Lin Tang was stunned.

Ning Xinrou, seeing her little sister-in-law’s expression, sensed that Tangtang might be about to drop a bombshell.

"Oh." Lin Tang responded blankly.

After a couple of seconds of silence, she said, "Did I not say? I have been recognized as an Advanced Individual!"

Everyone: "!!!

A double celebration?!

Lin Lu and Li Xiuli exchanged a look, their faces beaming with joy.

"Tangtang has been recognized as an Advanced Individual! My daughter is really amazing, my daughter is really outstanding..."

Praise was given with genuine enthusiasm.
