Chapter 649: How about breaking the leg?
Lin Tang saw the child’s bright, sparkling eyes and her mouth twitched slightly.
She patted Little Feifei’s head gently.
"So lovesick at such a young age, what are we going to do with you in the future?"
She remembered how Caixia, because of a face that could only be described as average like Zhou Zheng’s, willingly ran headfirst into the wall like an idiot, and instantly, she had an expression of an old man on the subway engrossed in his phone.
What if Xiaofei followed Sister Caixia’s example?
What about... breaking her legs?
Lin Fei didn’t know what her little aunt was thinking of, something dangerous no doubt, and felt a chill. Assuming it was a breeze, she snuggled closer into Lin Tang’s embrace.
"Little aunt, what’s ’flower crazy’? Flower crazy, eat flowers—flowers are so pretty, why eat them?"
Lin Tang pinched Xiaofei’s nose, "Why do you have so many questions?"
The little girl’s cheeks puffed out, making her look like a tiny pufferfish.
Lin Tang deliberately put on a stern face and said, "Your little uncle is my partner, so stop clinging to him all the time, got it?!"
Gu Yingzhou watched the young aunt teasing her little niece with fondness in his eyes.
When a new little princess joins the family in the future, he feared he might have two little princesses.
Lin Fei looked at her little uncle but noticed he wasn’t even glancing at her.
"Ah!"
She sighed deeply, "Alright, then."
Lin Tang, seeing her reluctantly agree, grew curious, "Why so troubled?!"
Lin Fei, with a look that suggested it was a long story, gestured for her to come closer with a wave of her hand.
Lin Tang obligingly leaned in.
"I’ve learned a new saying." Lin Fei whispered softly.
"What saying?"
"You are influenced by the company you keep."
Lin Tang became even more curious, "What about this saying?"
Biting her finger, Lin Fei explained seriously, "My brother said that the meaning of this phrase is that if you spend time with dark people, you’ll turn dark, and if you play with white people, you’ll turn white..."
The little girl’s serious face resembled a little board as she analyzed.
"If you stay with pretty people, you’ll become pretty!"
Lin Tang: "..."
"Pfft!" Lin Tang couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
So that was it.
No wonder she always saw Xiaofei rubbing up against Zhouzhou.
Hilarious!
Gu Yingzhou also overheard and almost cracked his cool and composed expression.
...Quality education must continue.
Lin Tang agreed, pinching Xiaofei’s cheek and saying, "So ’you are influenced by the company you keep’ means that, huh? I’ve learned something new. You’re really a genius."
Lin Fei truly believed she was being praised and lifted her chin proudly.
"I take after my little aunt, the second smartest in the family."
When Lin Zhicheng heard this, he didn’t even bother to argue, just looked at Xiaofei.
Humph, he was the second smartest.
That had been decided by the little aunt long ago!
He didn’t counter Xiaofei to avoid her crying during the festive season, embodying the sober man among the drunken crowd.
Hearing Lin Fei’s self-praising words, Lin Tang felt more convinced than ever of the importance of quality education.
She let go of her little niece and waved her hand, "Go on, go and set off the firecrackers."
She wanted some peace.
Seeing her brothers ready to go out and play, Lin Fei hurried to catch up with them.
Lin Tang sighed, "How uncultured!"
With a bit of sarcasm, she looked at Gu Yingzhou, "What do you think about setting up a school in the brigade?"
The county was in chaos, and school wasn’t in session anymore, but they couldn’t just give up, right? If everyone ended up illiterate, that would be a disaster.
Gu Yingzhou very much agreed with her, nodding and saying, "The school must be built."
Lin Tang touched her chin, contemplating, with a somewhat mischievous smile.
"Hmm, those medicinal fields must have brought in quite a bit of money. Just building a school, people shouldn’t mind parting with some of it, right?"
After all, children are the future. Surely, no one would begrudge investing in them, right?
Worried his fiancée might get beaten up for her ideas, Gu Yingzhou suggested with a serious tone, "Let’s talk about this after the New Year’s celebration."
During the New Year, first let everyone have a good time.
As for the brigade’s complicated feelings about facing a loss of money right after the New Year, that was no concern of his and Tangtang’s.
By that time, they would have already set off for Jing City, wouldn’t they?
Their calculations were crystal clear.
Lin Tang understood the underlying meaning in Gu Yingzhou’s words and nodded with a smile.
"Sure, let’s go with your idea."
At the doorway, every household’s lanterns glowed red, and children with firecrackers given to them by adults were running around the village, creating a scene that was lively to the point of being noisy.
"They’re all having a blast," Lin Tang said with a laugh.
Gu Yingzhou’s gaze returned from the village children to the girl by his side, "What about you in the past?"
"Me in the past?" Lin Tang tried hard to recall, scraping together distant memories, "I was very quiet. I didn’t run around everywhere. Even during the New Year, I followed my mom wherever she went."
Her brothers always wanted to take her out to play, but she just wouldn’t go.
Even sitting on the kang and sleeping — she wouldn’t go out.
In modern terms, that would be called being a homebody.
Gu Yingzhou seemed to envision a serene and adorable little girl following behind adults, her face adorned with a sweet smile, and he couldn’t help curving the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Very well-behaved, very cute," he said.
With just a thought, his heart almost melted.
Lin Tang saw the shining look in his eyes and felt a bit helpless inside.
She hadn’t even seen a photograph of herself, and yet his filter was so thick.
While talking, the two arrived at a new courtyard.
"Are you getting used to living here?" Lin Tang asked, looking at the new brick-and-tile house in front of them.
Gu Yingzhou nodded, "There’s nothing to get used to. Big brother and the others have been very thoughtful. The house lacks nothing, and I don’t even need to heat the kang myself. I guess I’m enjoying the preferential treatment of a new son-in-law in advance."
This courtyard was a betrothal gift from the three Qing brothers to Lin Tang.
Without saying a word to anyone, they surreptitiously applied for land from the brigade, purchased bricks and tiles, found builders... and got everything sorted in two months.
The furnishings in the courtyard were all arranged according to their sister’s preferences.
Hearing that Gu Yingzhou was going to stay here for the New Year, Li Xiuli asked her to bring him over so everyone could celebrate together.
The house was not big enough, so he was allowed to move into the new house.
But that wasn’t all; Lin Qingmu was also booted over to stay, giving each man a room. Lin Qingmu took care of all sorts of chores, such as heating the kang.
Lin Tang pursed her lips and chuckled lightly, "...Mom really likes you."
Gu Yingzhou shook his head, "No, it’s love for the house and everything in it."
He knew what his mother-in-law was thinking — her favoritism towards him was simply a hope that he would be good to Tangtang.
...For the little girl who had shot straight for his heart, how could he not be utterly devoted?
Past midnight, many in the village couldn’t stay up any longer, tidied up, and went to bed.
Lin Tang had always kept regular hours, and even when staying up late, hadn’t gone past eleven o’clock. Today, she had broken her record.
When the time came, she waved to her family and returned to her own room.
Lying down on the comfortable kang, she stretched lazily.
Yawning, she said to the system, "Tongzi, happy New Year. May you achieve your wishes early in the new year."
The system, seeing its host so exhausted yet still expressing good wishes to it, was deeply moved.
In a burst of warmth, it spent the points it had "saved by skimping and scraping" to grant Lin Tang a chance at a raffle.
[New Year has come, firecrackers burst, adults laugh, children play... Wishing you a happy New Year as well, congratulations to the host on receiving one raffle chance.]
