Chapter 650: Building the road back home...

Hmm?

Such an unexpected delight, love it, love it.

Lin Tang’s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, "Tongzi, you’re really thoughtful! You truly understand the principle of give and take. Well done, Tongzi, keep up the good work."

Lying down, she opened the Draw interface and randomly tapped.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Slimming Pill.]

Slimming Pill, as the name suggests, means to reduce fat; in layman’s terms, it’s a weight loss pill.

Lin Tang didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Nowadays, everyone is as thin as a monkey, this Slimming Pill probably won’t be needed anytime soon.

But, having it is better than not, right?

"Thank you, Tongzi."

The System, looking at the mere 25 points left, regained its reason. Tears were almost falling, if only it had such a thing.

The voice was sulkily soft.

[If the host really appreciates it, could you maybe take on some more tasks in the future?]

When the host spends in the System Mall, the points it gets are pitifully small. Only through tasks can it earn the same amount of points as her.

With these few points, its long-cherished wish is still far from being fulfilled!

Lin Tang’s sleepiness faded a bit, and she straightforwardly started chatting with the System, "Why? Didn’t you say I can choose to accept tasks or not?"

Right after signing the contract with the System, she took on tasks twice for the sake of points.

Work and life had since been going smoothly, so she hadn’t taken on any more tasks.

It was the first time she heard Tongzi make such a request, and she was quite surprised.

[To accumulate points.] The System answered honestly.

Lin Tang had upgraded the System several times and had long understood its true nature; it was a particularly simple and easily coaxed little fellow.

Considering the System’s characteristics, she didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly, "What do you want the points for?"

The System fell silent and then made a sizzling sound.

Obviously, its answer involved secrets it couldn’t disclose directly.

Lin Tang’s eyes flickered and she said, "I won’t ask anymore. If there’s a suitable task, I will take it."

...Thinking of the information she had learned from the System before, her eyes became clear.

It was nothing more than building a road home.

She was willing to help.

Tongzi wasn’t hers exclusively. Having been chosen and helped all this way, she was already lucky enough.

If she could truly help the System return home, she would be willing.

At its current level, the System shouldn’t have emotions, but hearing Lin Tang’s words, the System got somewhat garbled.

Tongzi didn’t speak, and Lin Tang didn’t mind, lying down and falling asleep.

Late into the night, a quiet voice suddenly arose.

[...Thank you, Little Lin Tang. Signing a contract with you was the most correct decision I ever made.]

It didn’t betray her for finding her, and even to fulfil her wishes, it exhausted its energy to bring her back to this time and space.

Little Lin Tang has always been worth it!

If Lin Tang were awake, she would have noticed that the voice had lost its mechanical tone and gained a hint of ’human’ emotional fluctuation.

-

The next day.

Lin Tang was woken up by the intermittent noise of firecrackers.

Not like the sporadic booms of last night, today they crackled in bursts, one after another.

With that sound, it was impossible to sleep.

Early in the morning, it seemed someone had again lit the kang, which was still warm, so the room wasn’t cold.

Lin Tang put on a new outfit and left the room.

"Tangtang’s awake, that outfit looks good. Your future mother-in-law has great taste; she must really like you," Zhou Mei complimented.

Clad in an indescribable fabric, the long cotton coat, the bright red hat and scarf, her delicate and pretty features were enhanced by the attire; she looked truly lovely.

Lin Tang went to the kitchen to wash up, hearing her sister-in-law’s praise, she smiled and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I think so too."

Putting on the outfit, she could feel the fullness of Mother Ruan’s intention.

The hat and scarf were bright but not gaudy.

The clothes fit just right and suited her perfectly.

If this wasn’t liking, then what is?

Zhou Mei also wore a new cotton-padded jacket and didn’t envy her sister-in-law.

She carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on the sleeves and said, "There’s hot water in the pot; go wash up quickly. After breakfast, we still need to go to the old mansion."

Paying New Year’s respects to the grandparents was the first thing to do on the morning of the first day of the new year.

"I’ll go wash right now..."

While saying this, Lin Tang went to fetch water in the kitchen.

Just as she finished tidying up, Gu Yingzhou arrived.

"You got up quite early today," the man said with a teasing tone.

"Without firecrackers going off, I could sleep until noon, believe it or not?"

What’s wrong with sleeping in a bit during the New Year?

Gu Yingzhou, feeling helpless, replied, "Believe."

Lin Tang gave him a sideways glance, "You wouldn’t despise me for it, would you?!"

"How could I?" Gu Yingzhou inwardly cried injustice, saying seriously, "If there’s nothing going on, you can sleep as long as you want. I wouldn’t despise you for that, don’t overthink it."

All he wanted was for Tangtang to live freely and unrestrained, away from darkness.

Lin Tang nodded, satisfied.

She certainly didn’t want to be restricted after getting married.

After breakfast, the family, carrying large and small bundles, walked towards the old mansion.

The Lin Family’s old mansion was a renovated brick-and-tile house, quite spacious due to the large number of people in the family.

When the second branch arrived, the first and third branches were already there.

Li Xiuli greeted them with a smile, "You’re all here."

She had thought they had left home early enough.

Gao Ping asked, "You were stopped on the road by people, weren’t you?"

"That’s for sure, it felt like the whole village was out, especially the children..." Zhou Mei was speaking; her voice clearly conveying her displeasure on the last sentence.

She felt the pinch of giving out several dimes in Red Envelopes.

Li Xiuli knew exactly what Zhou Mei’s farts smelled like, and she gave her daughter-in-law an annoyed look.

Seeing the second daughter-in-law being so stingy, didn’t her own four children also receive money?

It wasn’t good to scold her on New Year’s Day, so Li Xiuli turned her head to talk to her sister-in-law and younger brother’s wife, out of sight, out of mind.

The people of the second branch paid their New Year’s respects to the elder couple on the kang, and all the children received Red Envelopes before sitting down.

As a new son-in-law, Gu Yingzhou also received a big Red Envelope.

Seeing the rare stupefaction on her significant other’s face, Lin Tang smiled brightly.

The second branch had finished paying their New Year’s respects.

Lin Xiaojing waved to Lin Tang, "Tangtang, come here!"

Lin Tang, pulling Gu Yingzhou, walked over.

Lin Qingmu felt a sourness in his heart.

He stared at Lin Tang’s hand; in previous years, it was his sister who had pulled his hand.

Well, if the mountain won’t come to Muhammad, Muhammad must go to the mountain. Lin Qingmu shifted his eyes and followed.

Lin Xiaojing pointed at the Enamel Jar on the table, "The tea here was just poured, you can drink some if you’re thirsty."

"Okay," Lin Tang responded, picked up a cup, and looked at Gu Yingzhou, "Let’s each have a cup, okay?"

"Mm."

The two exchanged glances and smiled, sharing a sweet moment.

Once everyone had arrived, Lin Fu spoke up, "Let’s quiet down, and let Dad say a few words."

He had a lot of prestige in the Lin Family and was greatly respected by everyone, so the room quieted down instantly.

Lin Xiuyuan smiled faintly and said, "I don’t have much to say, you all worked hard the past year, thankfully, that hard work paid off, and our family has started to see improvements this year..."

As he spoke, he specifically glanced at Lin Tang.

He saw that his granddaughter was intently looking at him, and a smile quickly deepened in his eyes.

What a supportive little girl!

"These next few days, everyone should relax and enjoy themselves, eat and drink what you like, and we continue to work hard next year."

"That’s all I wanted to say. Don’t just sit around in the house, those who want to go out should take a walk."
