Chapter 736: Is it fun to move bricks?

After everyone had finished praising, they wished to touch the admission notice, but Lin Fu decisively refused.

Worried that everyone might damage Lin Tang’s admission notice, he quickly asked his nephew-in-law to take it home.

He chose Gu Yingzhou to do so because he thought that with his authoritative presence, no one would dare to get too familiar with him.

Lin Tang gave everyone a slight smile and then went home first with her husband and son.

Upon arriving at the Lin Family’s residence, another wave of congratulatory voices surged.

Li Xiuli took out the paper that Lin Qingmu had brought back last time and carefully wrapped up the admission notice.

"This paper looks too thin, makes one feel uneasy. I’ll wrap it for you to avoid wrinkling or damaging it... otherwise, it wouldn’t be good for registration."

"..." Lin Tang bent her eyebrows and eyes slightly, "Thank you, mother."

Lin Lu then said, "Our daughter scored so well, shouldn’t we hold a banquet?"

This question was primarily directed at Li Xiuli, and no one else dared to object.

"I agree," Li Xiuli slapped her thigh, "We definitely should! Isn’t the brigade also celebrating the ’sent-down youth’ who got admitted? Let’s join in with them, let the whole brigade celebrate together."

Zhou Mei liked to stand out and immediately said, "Tangtang’s big event should indeed be celebrated grandly. Mother, our second branch will contribute two hundred yuan."

Over the years, the second branch had saved quite a bit of money. Zhou Mei usually didn’t spend much, but she wasn’t stingy when it came to necessary expenses.

Not wanting to be outdone, Ning Xinrou promptly followed suit, "The main branch will also add two hundred."

She thought to herself that once Tangtang went to Jing City, she would need to prepare several sets of clothes for her.

She shouldn’t let Tangtang be looked down upon.

Lin Qingmu was a bachelor, and as the only one in the third branch and not being home, no one from the third branch had offered anything yet.

But that was not important.

Li Xiuli was very pleased with the harmony within the family, "It’s the thought that counts. There’s money in the public account. Keep your money; the children are grown up and there will be many expenses ahead."

"Yes, yes," Lin Lu nodded along, his dark face creasing into a broad smile.

Zhou Mei suddenly remembered Jing Ran and said, "Mother, didn’t Ranran and Aze also register? I wonder how they did. If they performed well, we will need to make our banner even more impressive."

As Jing Ze and Jing Ran grew older, they could not stay in the brigade indefinitely. A few years ago, Jing Ting managed to relocate them back to the city.

Both siblings had become workers.

Not long after Jing Ran moved back to the city, she and Xing Zhen clicked, and now they have a three-year-old child.

At that time, Li Xiuli had gone to Jin City to help with the childcare.

Jing Ran wasn’t keen on studying and initially had no intention of taking the exams. It was Jing Huan who mentioned that if by good fortune she got admitted, she could study with Tangtang.

The thought of that was simply delightful!

Without saying anything further, Jing Ran was persuaded.

And she put in the effort as if trying to pierce her thighbone with an awl or hang beams on her head.

Xing Zhen was very respectful of her choice.

The stern and tough man turned into a gentle, caring father, taking care of the child himself, allowing his wife to focus on her studies.

Jing Ze seemed to have developed some fear of marriage due to his parents’ marriage and remained unmarried. But he did sit for the exam this time around.

Of course, he mainly did it to tutor Jing Ran.

Hearing Zhou Mei mention the Jing siblings, Lin Tang smiled and said, "I don’t know yet, I’ll ask later tonight and then give my dad the good news."

Everyone had been at work during the day.

In recent years, Jing Ting had visited the Shuangshan brigade several times, and the Lin Family had a very good impression of him.

In Zhou Mei’s words, he fulfilled all her expectations of a high-ranking leader.

Just looking at him gave a sense of security!

While Jing Ting was meticulous and even harsh in his work, he was as gentle as a spring breeze with the Lin Family members.

If he intended to foster good relations with someone, no one could escape.

The first time he came, he became fast friends with Lin Lu.

After a few visits, the two were no longer strangers when they were together.

"I’ve got to tell your dad, let him have his share of happiness too!" Lin Lu said happily.

Lin Tang: "Of course, of course, you can count on it, Dad."

Once they decided on having a banquet, they made the arrangements on the spot.

Lin Qingmu happened to come home at this time and heard that they were going to celebrate his sister’s success with a banquet.

Unable to contain his excitement, he hugged Lin Tang and laughed heartily, "My little sister is truly impressive, you’ve got your heart’s desire, haven’t you!"

"Yeah, I got my heart’s desire." Lin Tang nodded with a smile.

Looking up, Lin Tang saw her third brother with dirt on his face, which seemed even darker, making his teeth stand out whiter than ever.

"Third brother, couldn’t you care a bit about your appearance? Did you bring back the moisturizer I gave you, intact and unused again?"

Lin Qingmu’s eyes flickered, "I’m a grown man, it’s not really fitting for me to apply that fragrant, greasy stuff. The guys under me would laugh, you understand, don’t you, Tangtang?"

He deflected the topic back to her.

Lin Tang was slightly taken aback, "But, but don’t you like things with a fragrance?"

"..." Lin Qingmu looked puzzled, "Since when did I like that?"

Such girly things, he certainly didn’t like them, thank you very much.

"When I was making that flea repellent, didn’t you ask if it came in other scents? What’s with you? Don’t you like fragrances anymore..."

Lin Qingmu felt conflicted for a moment but finally told the truth, "Yeah."

Lin Tang: emmm

What a misunderstanding this has been.

"Alright then, I’ve got it," Lin Tang said, looking at her third brother’s chapped face, which actually hurt her eyes, "I’ll make you an odorless one in the future. You still need to take care of your skin. What will you do if your future wife despises you for it?"

Lin Qingmu laughed without a care, "What future wife? That’s still a long way off!"

Li Xiuli, who had originally been quite fond of her youngest son, immediately lost her smile.

"What? Still a long way off?!" Her voice rose.

"Don’t you see how old you are? You’re thirty, still think you’re a fresh cucumber? You better wake up. If this keeps up, even if your dad and I were willing to offer a dowry, you’d still struggle to find a wife..."

All the good girls are married off—who would wait for him?

Truly worrisome.

Lin Qingmu: "..." Why would he need to offer a dowry?

"I haven’t slept well for several nights, I’m so tired, I’m going to wash up."

Leaving those words behind and affectionately ruffling his nephews’ hair, Lin Qingmu wasted no time and headed to the washroom.

Lin Lu sighed and said to Li Xiuli, "Look at you, why bring this up again? The kid just got back. Lin Qingmu is always running around outside, where is he going to find someone? Didn’t we agree to wait patiently? Why are you in a rush again?"

"How can I not worry? Lin Qingmu is thirty, and Lin Zhicheng is already in middle school, but he doesn’t even have a child yet. What’s going to happen in the future!"

Li Xiuli was worried, her joy at her daughter getting into a top university diluted a bit by this concern.

Just then, Lin Zhicheng suddenly spoke up, "I’ll take care of Uncle San, Grandma, don’t worry."

Lin Zhiming added, "And me..."

"Tsk." Zhou Mei made a dismissive sound through her nose, clearly unconvinced, "What can you do? You’d do well just to support yourself."

Lin Zhiming was indignant, "How come I can’t do it? Can’t I do manual labor to support Uncle San when I’m older?"

"..." Zhou Mei laughed in frustration, "If that makes you happy."

Lin Zhiming felt he’d won and smiled smugly, "I am happy."

Gu Mulin came up behind Lin Zhiming, hands behind his back, and blinked his beautiful eyes as he asked, "Brother Zhiming, is moving bricks fun?"
