Chapter 737: There are so many people in the 737.
Lin Zhiming: "..."
Feeling guilty, he glanced at his little aunt and uncle and forced a stiff smile, whispering, "Only the unsuccessful resort to moving bricks, you can’t be doing that."
It was fine for him to move bricks himself, but if he lured Alin into doing the same, not just their parents, but even their grandparents would break his legs.
Gu Mujing seemed to understand that this wasn’t something nice to say. Seeing Zhiming’s guilty expression, he considerately took his brother’s hand, "Alin, let’s go play."
Gu Mulin was at the age where he loved to play and was immediately distracted, "Okay, okay."
With the boys deviating from the topic, the previous conversation twisted away.
Soon after, they saw Lin Qingmu enter the house wrapped in a military coat.
"I heard the family is throwing a banquet to celebrate Tangtang getting into university. As her third uncle, I have to contribute. How about this: I’ll get two pigs, some sweets and such, and the family will prepare the rest, okay?"
While speaking, he sat down by the stove, opened the lid, and took out a yellowed, roasted sweet potato.
He was about to eat it when he saw Li Xiuli come in with a bowl in hand.
"I made you noodles; leave the sweet potato for now." Li Xiuli noticed her eldest was hungry and felt extremely sympathetic.
Lin Qingmu immediately put the sweet potato back, saying, "Who would eat sweet potatoes when there are mother’s noodles? You’ve worked hard, Mom."
His words made Li Xiuli feel enormously heartwarmed.
"It only took the time to cook a bowl of rice, no hard work at all. Eat up."
Lin Qingmu really was starving and hurriedly started eating his bowl of noodles.
He ate so fast, one chopstick after another.
Li Xiuli couldn’t help but feel an aching heart.
...It’s not easy to struggle out there; the hardship!
Soon, Lin Qingmu finished eating, and the family resumed the previous topic.
Lin Lu said, "You can get your hands on two pigs? Don’t overextend yourself, favors are the hardest debts to repay."
"It’s no trouble, I have my ways," confidently replied Lin Qingmu.
Having mixed in the county for ten years, wasn’t it a joke if he couldn’t even handle this?
"Fine, then you’ll take care of the meat and sweets, and we’ll handle the rest," declared Lin Lu decisively.
At that moment, Lin Tang asked, "What about me?"
Li Xiuli looked at her affectionately, smiling, "With so many people in the family, we don’t need your help. You and Yingzhou just need to show your faces at the event."
Lin Tang and Gu Yingzhou exchanged glances, seeing helplessness in each other’s eyes.
Being the youngest in the family, they were always well looked after—a fortunate thing indeed!
That day, after returning to the county, Lin Tang made a phone call to Jin City.
It was Jing Ting who answered the call.
Hearing that Lin Tang had been admitted to Huaqing University, Jing Ting felt happy for her daughter and expressed his regret at not being able to share the joy in person.
Then, thinking about the approaching job transfer to Jing City, Jing Ting’s eyes filled with gentle anticipation.
To give Tangtang a surprise, he had not mentioned this yet.
Lin Tang then inquired whether Jing Ze and Jing Ran had received their admission notices.
Learning that both had been successfully admitted to schools in Jing City, she expressed her congratulations through the phone, candidly saying she was excited to study in the same city as them.
Jing Ze and Jing Ran, hearing her words, looked forward to their university life even more.
The Lin Family’s celebration banquet for the academic achievements of the three was quite a grand affair.
The banner hung at the door with the names of the three was particularly eye-catching.
To let Jing Ze and Jing Ran see the lively scene, Lin Tang specially took out her camera and snapped several photos.
On the day of the banquet, provincial and county leaders both attended.
...They were there to present awards to the Shuangshan Brigade.
With over a dozen college students emerging from the brigade, including the sent-down youths, Shuangshan had caused quite a stir across the nation. When the leaders arrived, they brought reporters with them, looking to give the story good publicity.
With the leaders’ presence, the brigade’s atmosphere grew even more spirited and lively.
This scene became a fond memory deeply etched in many people’s minds.

Time was pressing; after the banquet, Lin Tang and Gu Yingzhou packed their luggage and boarded the train to Jing City.
With Yingzhou’s capabilities, he could’ve transferred to Jing City long ago, but out of consideration for his wife, he had stayed at the Machinery Factory for ten years, never making a move.
As soon as Lin Tang decided to take the university entrance exam, Yingzhou had applied for a transfer and was successfully assigned to a major factory in Jing City.
His future path was set: he was to take the road of politics, and his efforts over the years were not in vain.
Returning to the Headquarters in Jing City, with the support of the Gu Family, he was ready to soar even higher.
Gu Yingzhou was well aware that only by becoming strong himself could he provide a worry-free life for his wife and children, and he was always working hard in silence.
The news of his great-grandchildren coming to Jing City delighted the old Mr. Gu the most.
He had the duty officer book sleeper berths early on, fearing any discomfort for the two young ones.
When Lin Tang and her family arrived at the train station, someone was there to meet them.
Two attendants took their luggage, leaving the couple with only one task remaining... taking care of the children.
The twins had been on a train before. Carrying their little yellow duck backpacks, wearing baseball caps, and dressed in stylish cotton jackets, they walked like two little penguins.
Gu Yingzhou’s eyes carried a touch of world-weariness, "...It took me over thirty years to finally bask in Grandpa’s glory."
Even when he wasn’t of age and had to go out of town for errands, Grandpa made him queue up for tickets himself, getting jostled and standing the entire journey.
That feeling was still crystal clear in his memory.
Lin Tang couldn’t help but want to laugh, "Maybe it skips a generation?"
"..." Yingzhou doubted himself for a second, "Am I not a favorite across generations?"
Lin Tang remained silent, "Oh well, it’s not important. Let’s board the train quickly, or it will be more crowded in a bit."
She couldn’t very well say that her husband was less charming than their two sons, now could she? That would be too hurtful...
Yingzhou, seeing right through Tangtang’s thoughts, refrained from further embarrassment and guided his wife and children onto the train.
After days and nights on the train, they finally arrived in Jing City.
Stepping out of the station, they saw a bustling array of cars and crowds of people.
Gu Mulin adjusted his cap, which had been knocked askew by someone, and said with his mouth agape, "So many people!"
Gu Mujing also felt dazzled by the sight, unable to look away, yet he spoke with earnest, "This is our country’s capital, the busiest place, of course there are many people."
Gu Mulin turned his gaze back to his brother, a puzzled look on his face, "But, didn’t Great-grandfather and Great-grandmother say that Sea City is the busiest place?"
Which place is really the busiest?
Mujing, who was always quick-witted, suddenly found himself at a loss and looked up at his father, "Dad, what do you think?"
Lin Tang looked at her husband with a teasing smile.
She had corrected the children’s habit of always calling for Mom to calling for Dad instead—definitely a load off her mind.
Unfazed, Yingzhou, with one arm holding Mulin and the other pulling a suitcase, stated, "The scenery our eyes can see is limited, as is our understanding. When confused about something, go out and look for yourself. With life being so long ahead, you are bound to find the answer."
