Chapter 721: 721 So earthy and sweet (additional update)

The family, slightly dazed and affectionate, walked through the door.

Once inside, Lin Tang spoke about the Jing Family’s situation and expressed her own thoughts.

Lin Lu and Li Xiuli, although country folks, were much more open-minded than many city dwellers.

They never imposed their own ideas on their children.

Hearing that both the Lin Family and the Jing Family were hers and Jing Ran’s home, the couple could only be delighted.

"Okay, whatever you say goes, your dad and I will support you," Li Xiuli said with a beaming smile.

Her biggest worry was that Tangtang would no longer acknowledge her and the head of the household and would return to the Jing Family.

The current outcome was the best one possible.

Especially since Tangtang had already spoken to the Jing Family and wouldn’t change her surname, this brought particular comfort to Lin Lu and Li Xiuli.

Lin Tang knew how wonderful her parents were and was not at all surprised.

"Dad, Mom, Ranran is also a child of the Lin Family, so in the future, please treat her just like me. Any problem with that?"

Lin Lu and Li Xiuli looked at each other and in unison said, "No problem."

"Not only is Ranran a child of the Lin Family, but Aze is too," Lin Lu added.

Jing Ze and Jing Ran, seeing that the Lin Family had accepted them, nearly burst into silly laughter.

The atmosphere in the house was unbelievably good.

The intricacies of fate in this world are quite ironic.

Blood siblings often become estranged, while those without blood ties can grow to love each other dearly.

Is that layer of blood relation so important?

...Perhaps not.

-

Winter days are short, and it gets dark early.

There isn’t much entertainment in the village, and by nine o’clock most of the villagers are asleep, with the remaining few either suffering from stomach troubles or together proving the strength of their beds...

At eight forty, it was time for Little Zhixuan to sneak off to painting class.

Lin Tang volunteered to take her little nephew over.

She planned to visit Chu Yue.

The system task at the time was not only to rescue him but also to take him as her mentor.

It just so happened that she wanted to continue her work in medical research later on, and taking a mentor now would legitimize the knowledge in her mind.

With Gu Yingzhou accompanying her and being in the village, the Lin Family felt very assured; they simply reminded them to stay warm and let them go.

As the three of them left the house, Lin Lu instructed his youngest, "Qingmu, go and heat up the kang for Tangtang and Yingzhou, and also heat up some water..."

Lin Qingmu asked, "Which place? Tangtang’s courtyard or that one?"

He pointed to Lin Tang’s room at home.

Before Lin Lu could speak, Li Xiuli interjected, "Her courtyard, I suppose; it’s quiet. The few rascals at home are too noisy, howling first thing in the morning. Let Tangtang and Yingzhou have a good night’s rest."

"Alright, I’ll go right now." With that, Lin Qingmu turned and left.

Gu Yingzhou, carrying Lin Zhixuan, and Lin Tang, holding a flashlight, walked along the road.

The moonlight was like water, and beneath their feet was the crunching sound of footsteps. From time to time, the lights from the village houses would come on, adding a touch of warmth to the chilly winter.

"Zhixuan, are you cold?" Lin Tang looked at her little nephew resting on Gu Yingzhou’s shoulder.

"No," Lin Zhixuan shook his head, his eyes visible and curved like crescent moons, "The scarf is warm."

He touched the fuzzy material around his neck with his hands covered in rabbit-fur gloves, appearing to like it very much.

Lin Tang smiled and said, "You and your uncle are the same; you both have a bit of a thing for fluff."

Lin Zhixuan’s eyes widened, "What’s a fluff fanatic?"

"Like you," Lin Tang lightly tapped the fluff on his head, neck, and hands with her forefinger. "Someone who loves cats, dogs, and fluffy animals too."

"Yeah," Lin Zhixuan nodded with puffed cheeks, "Then I am. I like Qiuqiu."

But Qiuqiu didn’t seem to like him much.

It only knew how to lazily sleep.

Lin Tang remembered the pet that had greeted her with excited licks like a big dog when she first returned, had been thrilled for a while, and then had gone back to sleep.

Heaven knows why a tiger would have so many thoughts...

Chatting along the way, the three of them arrived at the place where Chu Yue and others were staying.

It was a row of adobe houses, which couldn’t compare to the brigade’s houses.

But upon closer inspection, one could see the walls were very sturdy.

Although the conditions were not as good, the people inside were not mistreated.

The three stopped in front of a house, and before Lin Tang could knock, the door creaked open.

Lin Zhixuan’s painting teacher was a master in the field, coming from a family of painters, named Song Yin.

Song Yin was startled to see Lin Tang but quickly recognized her, "You must be Comrade Lin, please come in."

"Hello, Comrade Song," Lin Tang said with a smile as she entered the house with Gu Yingzhou and Lin Zhixuan.

The house was simply furnished, but it was very warm inside.

There was a metal stove burning with fire, very cozy.

Song Yin’s wife, Duan Ling, looked very aloof, with a cold face and cold eyes.

This coldness melted away completely when she saw Lin Zhixuan.

"Zhixuan is here." The cool face was suddenly lit up by the spring day.

Lin Zhixuan gave a soft and cute smile, "Auntie, I’m here for class."

Duan Ling smiled and asked, "Are you cold?"

"Not cold, my little aunt bought me a scarf, auntie, look, isn’t it pretty?" said the little guy, showing off like he had found a treasure.

Duan Ling looked at his cute appearance, her gaze becoming even softer, "It’s pretty."

She touched the fluffy warm thing on Lin Zhixuan’s body, her gaze complicated.

If her own family were still like before, she could have given Little Zhixuan something better.

Lin Zhixuan happily sat down at his spot, took out his completed homework, and meticulously laid it out on the table, looking very earnest.

After sitting down, he waved his little paw at Lin Tang, tilted his head, and smiled adorably.

Lin Tang gave Little Zhixuan an encouraging expression and turned to Song Yin and Duan Ling, "I’ll have to trouble the two teachers with my Zhixuan."

Duan Ling: "It’s no trouble; Zhixuan is very well-behaved."

Lin Tang marveled at her child’s universal appeal, smiled, and inquired about Chu Yue.

"I have something for Teacher Chu Yue. Do you two know which room he’s in?"

Having confidence in the character of the Lin Family, the couple pointed in the same direction, "Turn right when you exit, it’s the third house."

Not wanting to delay Zhixuan’s study time, Lin Tang thanked the painter couple and pulled Gu Yingzhou out of the house.

In a moment, the two reached Chu Yue’s door, where voices could be heard coming from inside.

Lin Tang raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Seems like there’s a visitor?"

Gu Yingzhou narrowed his eyes at her and knocked on the door.

"Visitors won’t interfere with our visit," he said dispassionately.

"Who is it?" Chu Yue was puzzled by the sound, stiffened up as if thinking of something, and turned to look at the family of three inside his room.

Then a voice came from outside the door, "Teacher Chu, this is Lin Tang, and my spouse and I have come to visit."

Gu Yingzhou: "..."

What in the world is "spouse"?

So earthy yet sweet.

Lin Tang, noticing the man’s almost lost composure, blinked innocently.

It was as if she was asking ’then what should I say?’

My husband? My Comrade Gu? My spouse? My hubby?

None seemed quite right!

Chu Yue opened the door, and the two immediately regained their composure, looking the part of polished social elites.

"Why have you come so late at night? Please, come in and take a seat," he said, then went back inside.

Having worked at the brigade for several months, his demeanor had become a bit wild and unruly.
